Chapter Two

Kate and Tony got in the car and drove to the hospital to visit Ziva and her new baby boy who she called after his father Jacob.

"Ok, Gibbs told me she's in the room right over…there." Tony pointed and Kate followed him. They stepped into the room where Ziva and Gibbs were talking.

"Your ears must have been itching, we were just talking about you." Ziva said as she smiled.

"Burning Ziva, your ears must have been burning." Tony said and he gave her a smile.

"Right!" Ziva said.

"How are you?" Kate asked sitting on a chair.

"I'm great! Kinda tired but great none the less!" Ziva said stifling a yawn.

"He's so cute" Kate said peering at the newborn in the crib. Ziva smiled and yawned again.

"Maybe we should leave to let you get some sleep." Tony said. "We'll see you later."

"Yup, take care of yourself Ziva." Kate said.

Kate and Tony walked across the parking lot to the car.

"You know Kate, we still need to think of names." Tony said as they got into the car.

"Yeah, but we will." Kate said and smiled at Tony.

They drove home in mostly silence.

They got home at 3pm and wandered inside to the clean apartment.

"Kate, what about for a girl…Melanie." Tony said as he followed her down the hall to the bedroom.

"That's cute." Kate grinned. "I was thinking for a boy…what about Danny?" Kate suggested.

"That's a nice name too." Tony said. He walked up to Kate and kissed her. He brought his hand up and tucked her hair behind her ear. "God I love you." He said and Kate felt tears in her eyes.

"I love you to." She said and kissed Tony. They pulled back and smiled at each other before wandering back down the hall. They sat down on the sofa, Kate leaning against Tony and Tony's hands on her stomach.

The next day they walked into the office and only found McGee there.

"Wow, where's Gibbs?" Tony asked sitting down.

"Right here, DiNozzo." Gibbs' voice came from behind Tony.

"O um hi Boss." Tony said after jumping. Kate grinned and started to pull out some paperwork.

Gibbs' phone started to ring. "Gibbs." He answered. He listened then hung up. "Grab your gear, we're going to Norfolk. McGee gas the truck, Tony call Ducky."

"On it Boss." The NCIS agents chorused.

"Kate, your on desk duty. We don't want you in the field this far along." Gibbs said and Kate looked disappointed.

"Gibbs, I can work in the field for a few more weeks. Come on." Kate pleaded.

"Kate, it is not up for debate, you are six months pregnant. You know the dangers in the field." Gibbs stated and he gave her a stern look.

"Kate I agree with Gibbs, it's to dangerous for you to be out at a crime scene." Tony said and he walked over to her.

"Tony, Gibbs, I will be fine, you all will be with me and I wont take any risks. I can't be on desk duty for another 3 months." Kate said and Tony looked at Gibbs and sighed.

"You will stay right next to either me or Tony the entire time. If we need to clear a room or anywhere you will wait away from it. Is that clear Agent Todd?" Gibbs asked walking up to her.

"Thank you Gibbs." Kate said and they continued.

They drive to Norfolk was un-eventful. There was little traffic.

"DiNozzo, bag and tag. McGee, pictures. Kate, sketches." Gibbs ordered and everyone got to work. The house was flooded with people. The Petty Officer lay dead on the floor, a knife wound to the back of the neck.

"Petty Officer Max Collins. What can you tell me Duck?" Gibbs asked kneeling down by the Petty Officer.

"I would say our Petty Officer bled out. The amount of blood around the wound is huge and the angle of the wound also says the attacker was a lot taller then him, see how the knife goes at an angle. But Jethro, this man must be at least 6 feet tall, and for the knife to be at this angle the killer must have been standing on something." Ducky said.

Gibbs nodded before standing up and walking over to a marine. "Who found him?" Gibbs asked.

"His wife sir, she was out shopping, when she came home he was dead. She screamed for help. We were driving down the road when we heard her." He explained.

"Why were your men going down to the Navy yard?" Gibbs asked.

"We were doing an exercise with them in the water." He said.

"Ok, I'm going to need the list of everyone that checked into the base." Gibbs said.

"Of course sir, we will have it for you right away." He said before turning away and walking back out the door.

"That's pretty nasty." Kate said while sketching.

"It is indeed Caitlin, it reminds me of a case when a marines wife was…" Ducky started but seeing Kate's look he stopped.

"Ok, how are we going?" Gibbs asked taking another sip of his coffee.

"Almost done here Gibbs." Kate said.

"Ok, when we're done here we'll head over to their house off base to check it out." Gibbs said.

"They have a house off base as well?" Kate asked surprised.

"Yeah, the killer could be looking for something so we'll go up there." Gibbs said and walked off.

Half an hour later they were pulled up to the house. Suddenly a crash came from inside the house.

"Kate get back to the car now!" Gibbs ordered and she did as she was told and ran back to the car. Kate saw Gibbs nod and they kicked down the door and started clearing the house.

Tony carefully looked around the corner, seeing nothing he carefully checked the room. A crash came from the back of the house and everyone ran to the back of the house.

Kate stood by the car watching and waiting. A crash caught her attention and she saw the suspect run from the back of the house down towards her. When he saw her he pulled his gun and fired, Kate returned fire before taking cover behind the car.

"Kate!" She looked up to see Tony running towards her. "Are you ok?" Tony asked holding her shoulders looking over her top to bottom.

"I'm fine Tony. I'm not hit." Kate said out of breath.

"This is why I didn't want you in the field!" Gibbs said walking up next to her.

Kate didn't say anything just looked down.

"Boss!" McGee called from inside the house.

They all walked back inside the house to find a skeleton inside the closet.

"That's not good." Tony said.

It took three hours to sort through the house, bag and tag evidence and get the body back to headquarters.

When they arrived back to NCIS, Ziva and Jacob were in the office.

"Ziva, what are you doing back here?" Gibbs asked looking at her.

"I'm going back to Israel Gibbs. I have friends there that will help me through everything. I'll come back, I just need some time." Ziva said and she handed Gibbs her badge. Tony, Kate and McGee stood shell shocked behind Gibbs.

"Ziva, you don't have to do this?" Gibbs said looking at her.

"Yeah, I do. I'm sorry Gibbs, but that's the way it has to be. I need to go home for a while." Ziva explained tears in her eyes. "It was really nice working here, I loved it. Thank you Gibbs. I'll be back, I promise. Bye guys." Ziva said and she walked back down to the elevator leaving the team in utter surprise. Ziva was gone.
