It was really happening,Tony was finally marrying the love of his life. He could not believe that after nine years he was finally marrying Ziva David. It didn't seem real until he was standing in Gibbs's backyard. His friends were all sitting in front of him and Ziva was standing in between the two rows of chairs, Gibbs's arm linked in hers. She looked absolutely radiant in the dress that Gibbs had loaned her. In the far side of the yard Kayla Vance began playing the wedding march on a portable keyboard. Tony was amazed at the young girls talent. She had only started taking lessons about six months after Jackie died and it was like she had been playing since she was a toddler. Sadie was an amazing flower girl and Amira had stepped up as ring bearer. Since the only boy Tony and Ziva knew well enough to ask was Jared Vance and he was in the stage where everything that kids did was for babies. Tony didn't mind a female ring bearer though and Amira was going an excellent job. Since neither Tony nor Ziva were very religious. Ducky had stepped up as the minister, having gotten an online ordination a few years back.
"You look amazing." Tony whispered as Ziva stopped in front of him.
"Thank you" Ziva replied.
"The couple has chosen to write there own vows." Ducky said.
"Ziva, you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. The fact that you are carrying my child and are willing to step up and be a mom to my daughter are the most amazing things I could imagine." Tony spoke as he place the ring on Ziva's hand.
"That was lovely Anthony. Now you may go Ziva." Ducky replied.
"Tony, you are the love of my life. I never thought I would be able to love anybody but ever since I met you I have loved you. I know I made mistakes in the past but you never gave up on me and now I am thrilled to have the privilege or marrying you." Ziva said placing the ring on Tony's hand.
"You may kiss the bride." Ducky said.
It was official Tony and Ziva were married. It had all happened so fast the ceremony was quick and they only had a small lunch prepared by Gibbs. Now the backyard had been cleared, everybody else had gone home, and Tony, Ziva, Gibbs and Sadie were on the way to the courthouse. Amira was working on a project for school with another girl from her class. Ziva was going to formally adopt Sadie and they were all going to officially change their last name to Gibbs. Gibbs was driving Tony's mini van. Sadie was in her booster seat in the way-back and Tony and Ziva were holding on to each other in the middle row.
"I love you." Tony whispered.
"I love you too." Ziva replied.
"I am so glad we are finally married." Tony replied.
"Me too" Ziva agreed.
"And now we are about to be a real family." Tony added.
"I can't wait." Ziva replied.
Gibbs parked in front of the courthouse. He got out and helped Sadie out of her booster-seat. Tony helped Ziva climb out of the van and the family walked inside. Gibbs kept Sadie busy while Tony and Ziva filled out the necessary forms.
"Why are we here?" Sadie asked.
"Your parents need to pick up their marriage license but they are also changing their last name and your last name to Gibbs." Gibbs explained.
"We will all be family?" Sadie asked.
"Yes in fact the other reason we are here is so that Ziva can adopt you." Gibbs explained.
"Ziva's finally adopting me?" Sadie asked.
"Yes she is." Gibbs confirmed.
"Congratulations Mrs. Gibbs, Sadie is officially your daughter." The judge said as Ziva slid a form across his desk.
"Really? Already?" Ziva asked.
"Yes" The judge replied.
"Can you take our picture?" Ziva asked.
"Of course" The judge replied.
Ziva called Gibbs and Sadie over to them. Tony and Ziva stood together holding Sadie in there arms and Gibbs stood between them with his arms around both Tony and Ziva. The judge snapped the picture and it was official. Tony and Ziva were now Gibbs's and Sadie was Ziva's daughter.
"Are you my mommy now?" Sadie asked Ziva.
"Yes I am." Ziva replied.
"We are finally a family." Tony replied.
"You were a family all along." Gibbs reminded.
"Yes we were." Tony agreed.
"We have always been family." Ziva replied.
"That's the way I like it." Gibbs replied.
The plan was to stop and get something to eat after getting done at the courthouse. Tony had spoken to Ziva's doctor and she had said that it was OK but just this once and she would have to spend the rest of the day in bed. It was refreshing for Tony to see his wife able to walk around for a bit even though she would have to spend the next couple days back on total bed rest. After the wedding she had changed into stretch pants and an over-sized t-shirt. Tony was amazed that she could look so perfect even in her third trimester. As they were walking out of the courthouse, Ziva grabbed her stomach and winced.
"Are you OK?" Tony asked.
"Yeah" Ziva lied.
"No you're bleeding. You need a band-aid." Sadie observed pointing to Ziva's legs.
"Oh God!" Tony gasped, Ziva was rapidly losing blood.
"Come on Sadie. You need to wait in the van." Gibbs replied tossing Sadie in the backseat and slamming the door behind him. There would be time for seat-belts and explanations later but right now getting Ziva to the hospital was the top priority. Tony was already calling for an ambulance. By now Ziva had fallen to the ground and her pants were already soaked with blood.
