Keeping Ziva calm was easier said than done. She was not somebody who liked to be told what to do and she especially hated being told to limit activity. Though as Tony reminded her. If she did not take it easy now. She would be on bed-rest soon and that meant doing nothing at all. She seemed to have accepted that but was counting the days until the babies could be safely delivered. The twins were expected to come at least two weeks early but the doctors said it could be as much as a month. Ziva was seven and a half months along. She could go at any time. An idea that terrified Tony but thrilled Ziva. It wasn't that she wanted her babies to be premature. She just wanted them out of her.

"I want these babies out!" Ziva cried for the hundredth time that day.

"Two to six more weeks." Tony reminded.

"I want them out now!" Ziva cried.

"It's way too early." Tony reminded.

"You have two humans inside of you and tell me about too early!" Ziva snapped.

"Don't stress." Tony reminded.

"I'm seven months pregnant. It's hard not to stress." Ziva reminded.

"How about you lie down?" Tony suggested.

"I've only been up four hours." Ziva groaned.

"I don't have therapy today and Jimmy's taking Charlie. Want to catch a movie?" Tony suggested.

"You don't have therapy?" Ziva asked.

"They bumped me down to two times a week." Tony explained.

"Did they clear you or did you decide this?" Ziva questioned.

"They cleared me! I have a certificate and everything!" Tony cried.

"Oh Tony that is so wonderful!" Ziva cried.

"I can return to work now. Well I can go back to desk duty anyway. I have to be once a week or less before I can even be considered to return to the field." Tony explained.

"Oh Tony! That is so amazing! I will miss you but I am so glad we are heading back to normal." Ziva exclaimed.

"It will be good to get back." Tony agreed.

"I am so proud of you." Ziva declared, stroking Tony's cheek.

"I couldn't have gotten here without you and now it is my turn to help you." Tony replied.

"If you want to help me. Get these babies out!" Ziva pleaded.

"Not today" Tony insisted.

Tony finally got Ziva to lie down. While she was sleeping, he grabbed his certificate and held it in his hands. He was far from normal but he was recovering. He wished that he had accepted help sooner. Than maybe he could be back in the field by now. Except he wasn't sure he wanted to go back to the field. He really didn't know what he wanted out of life. All he really wanted was for his family to be healthy and happy, and for the babies to have a safe birth. Really at this point, that was all he could ask for.

Marley grabbed her book-bag from her locker and slung it over her shoulder. Her coach had broken his elbow. Practice was canceled until he returned following his surgery and she was no longer in the outreach program. At least until they could find another buddy. Tanya's family had moved to California to be closer to the specialist that she needed to see for her seizure disorder. They were wanting to get her back into the program but they were working to find an appropriate fit.

"Marley!" Logan called.

"What do you want?" Marley asked.

"I hear you have free afternoon's now." Logan commented.

"Just until Coach Walter gets back on Friday." Marley explained.

"You could help me and Chase." Logan offered.

"How are you still in the program?" Marley questioned.

"Chase didn't move and he's a cool kid." Logan explained.

"Well good for you but I was going to help Charlie out. So ya know later." Marley replied coldly.

When Ziva could not sleep, she ended up making a run to the grocery store. Lucky for her the team had a few down days and Tony had met with McGee. If he were around he would insist that grocery shopping was too stressful for her. Part of her wished she could have kicked him out when the doctor gave his diagnosis, except she really was expecting bad news. She was walking down the baby aisle when she spotted Lenore. This was her first time seeing her friend since their meeting when she was first pregnant. A car-seat sat in the back of Lenore's cart. In the car-seat was a tiny pink bundle. Christine was in the seat of the adaptive cart and Charlotte was texting away on her phone.

"Lenore?" Ziva called.

"Oh Ziva! I thought I saw you!" Lenore cried.

"How have you been?" Ziva asked.

"It's been interesting. Chuck lost his job just after we met. He was out of work for three months but he ended up landing his dream job. Christine has been in the hospital five times in three months but seems to be on the upswing. Charlotte was really expressing her issues of jealousy and resentment but we got her in a great support group. They are going to camp this summer. She is so happy." Lenore explained.

"We've been the same. Tony has his PTSD issues. Thank God he is improving and going back to work next week. Marley has her teenage drama and that never ends. Lily is four, so well she's four. Oh we adopted a little boy. His name is Charlie and he has similar diagnoses to Tony." Ziva explained.

"At least they have each other." Lenore commented.

"True" Ziva replied.

"Mom I have dance in about twenty minutes!" Charlotte cried.

"Alright" Lenore replied.

"I see you have a baby." Ziva remarked.

"Yes she is six months old. Her name is Claire Laverne and she is perfect. We had her tested again and she is clear too! We are so relieved." Lenore explained.

"Oh Lenore!" Ziva squealed.

"Thank you, I see you have a baby too." Lenore observed.

"Two actually, both boys." Ziva replied.

"Oh Ziva! That is amazing! I am so happy for you!" Lenore cried.

A/N: Ziva's definitely at the end of pregnancy. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
