Gibbs's POV
After Ziva had done her business in the cup I took it up to Abby.
"Gibbs!" Abby squealed as I walked into the lab. She ran at me and threw her arms around me, knocking me back a few steps.
"Okay Abs," I said as I hugged her back.
"Do you have anything for me, because I'm bored?" Abby said putting a pouting look on her face.
"Yeah, Abs, I have a test for you," I said as I held out the cup to Abby.
"What do you want me to do with it?" Abby asked as she put gloves on and took it from me.
"Test it, and tell me what you find," I said. Abby studied me carefully.
"Why do I get the feeling that you already know what I'm going to find?" Abby finally asked.
"Just do it Abs," I said as I kissed her cheek. "When will you be done?"
"Um, soon; I wasn't kidding when I said that I was bored," Abby said. I smiled at her and then walked out.
Tony's POV
When McGee and I returned with coffee Ziva and Gibbs were finally out of MTAC. I handed Gibbs his coffee and then took Ziva hers. I knelt down next to her while I placed the coffee on her desk.
"So, how'd it go this morning?" I asked. She looked at me.
"What are you talking about?" she asked suspiciously.
"The Director said that you were briefing Mossad," I told her, raising my eyebrow.
"Oh, yes, it went well," Ziva said. I leaned up and then kissed her on the cheek. She smiled at me and brushed my cheek with the back of her hand.
"I'm just going to take this down to Abby," I said, grabbing the Caf-Pow off of my desk.
When I went down to Abby's lab she was humming to herself and pressing buttons on the Mass Spec.
"Hey Abs," I said as I handed the Caf-Pow to her.
"Hey Tony," Abby said as she greedily took the Caf-Pow from my hand and started sucking on the straw.
"What are you working on? I didn't think that we had any cases," I asked as the Mass Spec began to spit out results.
"Gibbs asked me to run something," Abby said as she took another sip of the Caf-Pow.
"What?" I asked curiously.
"Do you really want to know?" Abby asked.
"Enlighten me," I replied.
"Urine," Abby said. I crinkled my nose.
"From who?" I asked.
"Don't know, Gibbs didn't tell me," Abby said. When Abby said this, my suspicions immediately rose.
"Did he tell you want you're looking for?" I asked. Abby shook her head.
"Nope," she said as the final page was spit out of the printer.
"Well, what's in the results?" I asked. Abby looked at the papers.
"Everything is normal except there is an elevated level of estrogen," Abby said frowning.
"So whoever gave the sample is pregnant?" I asked.
"Yup," Abby said. "Do me a favor and take these up to Gibbs," she said as she handed me the papers.
"Will do," I said.
Ziva's POV
I was working on paperwork when Tony came back from Abby's with papers in his hand. I bit my lip nervously. Tony handed the papers to Gibbs.
"Abby asked me to give these to you. They're the results from the tests you asked her to run," Tony said. Gibbs studied the papers in his hand for a moment and then he got up and took the stairs to the loft two at a time. I wasn't exactly sure how to read this, so I nervously waited.
Fifteen minutes later my phone rang and I answered it, making sure the phone volume was quieter than normal.
"Officer David," I said.
"Ziva, it's Jenny. The results were positive, you're pregnant. I faxed the papers to your father and you are now an official NCIS agent," Jenny said.
"Thank you," I said, trying to sound normal.
"You know," Gibbs said as I heard him take the phone from Jenny. "You might wanna tell DiNozzo now."
"I will," I said and then I hung up the phone. I looked up and saw Tony standing right in front of me.
"What was that all about?" Tony asked. I stood up and walked towards the elevator, motioning for Tony to follow me. He did and we stepped into the elevator. I waited a few moments and then flipped the emergency switch. "Will you please tell me what's going on now?" Tony said. I was wringing my hands nervously and he placed his hands over mine.
"Tony, I need to tell you something," I started. "This morning when I went up to MTAC I was not briefing Mossad. My father gave me orders to return to Tel Aviv."
"You're leaving?" Tony said with astonishment, his hands gripping mine tighter.
"No, let me finish. I told my father that I refused to leave and he brought up the fact that I signed a contract binding me to Mossad. However, there is a clause in that contract for female officers saying that if they become pregnant they will be released from Mossad. Tony, I'm pregnant. I don't ever have to go back to Mossad and I'm a special agent now, not just officer," I said. Tony looked shocked for a moment.
"What?" he asked clearly dumbfounded.
"I'm pregnant, you goofball. You're the father," I said. Tony didn't say anything but he flipped the emergency switch off and dropped my hands. I was shocked. I had expected him to be happy. When the elevator doors slid open Tony walked out without a word. I swallowed hard to avoid the tears that were growing in my eyes. I exited the elevator and headed straight for the stairs to the loft. I heard McGee called out to me but I ignored him as I bounded up the stairs and almost ran straight into Gibbs. He saw the look on my face and he knew.
"Where'd he go?" Gibbs asked and I shrugged my shoulders. "You go see Jenny," Gibbs said and he ran down the steps. I finished climbing the stairs and I went into Jenny's office. She took one look at my face and opened her arms. I fell into them sobbing. She led me over to the couch and we sat down, me still in her arms.
"What did he say?" Jenny asked.
"Nothing," I sobbed. "Nothing at all."
Tony's POV
I heard the door open and I looked up to see Gibbs coming down the stairs. I was sitting on the bottom step, head in my hands. Gibbs finally reached me and sat down next to me. He didn't say anything and after a few moments I finally spoke up.
"I can't be a father," I said quietly.
"Why not?" Gibbs asked.
"I'm not ready. I don't know the first thing about being a father," I said. Gibbs was quiet for a moment and then he spoke.
"You know when Shannon told me she was pregnant I called one of my marine buddy's and we went and got drunk," Gibbs said. "Shannon was so mad at me that night when I called her to come get me. On her way to pick me up she was in a minor accident with a drunk driver. They took her to the hospital because they were afraid that something might have happened to the baby. I remember sitting in the waiting room and no one would tell me anything. That was when it hit me; I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something had happened to our unborn child. Trust me, you don't want something major to happen to realize that you're ready to be a father."
We were both quiet for a minute and then the silence was filled with a resounding thunk.
"What was that for?" I asked, rubbing my head.
"For making her cry," Gibbs said.
