Ok so I gave in. Instead of updating at 20 reviews, I updated at 17, close enough. Anyway, I want to give props to BellaWriterChic for being the first one to ask why Aaron calls Jacob, Aba, and not Daddy!
A.N 2: This may be a wee bit OOC, but I need to write an Angst part, and well Ziva and Tony aren't very Angsty.

During the time that McGee, Abby and Aaron where at the supermarket.
When Tony and Ziva arrived back at the apartment, Tony had touched up the meal he had prepared for Ziva. He brought out some glasses and filled it with some red wine. Ziva sat patiently waiting for the main entrée to come out. Finally, Tony brought out two plates of Risotto ai Funghi Porcini. He placed one plate in front of Ziva, and one in front of himself. They started eating, and after 5 minuets of nothing but clanking utensils, Tony had had enough.
"Ziva, you need to talk to me." He said. Ziva noticed that this wasn't the normal Tony, who would joke about anything, and always flash his 100-Watt grin. This was a serious Tony, which she had only seen once, the time that Jenny was killed.
"There is no talking to be done Tony." She said, not taking her eyes off of the plate in front of her.
"Ziva, I don't want any of this 'I am fine' crap. I want to know what's going on right now." Tony said forcefully. He was fed up with all this 'I am fine' stuff that Ziva was saying. She would be shot at and she would say 'I am fine'. She would almost be killed, and she would say 'I am fine'. He was tired of it.
Ziva heavy sighed, before she started "I met Jacob, nearly 4 years ago. I was already pregnant, 3 months to be exact. But I did not say anything. We slept together a couple times, but that was it. I broke it off, ready to go confront the father of Aaron." Ziva stopped. Tony wondered. He thought that it wasn't the right time to ask Ziva who the father was, but at the same time, he wanted to know. They had slept together around that time, but she stopped, that must have been the time she saw Jacob. Tony didn't see Ziva that summer much.
"But, after a week of not seeing him. He came to my apartment one night. He said that if I left him, that he would kill my child. I could not do that, so we continued our relationship. I was not allowed to go anywhere outside of work, and to the food store. He would hit me all the time. When Aaron was born, he stopped. Then when he turned 3, he started hitting him again. That night, when you showed up, I thought I was safe, you would take care of it. But at the same time, I wanted you to leave so he would not hurt you. When he threw you out, he dragged me out and put me in the trunk of his car. I had to leave Aaron" Ziva started crying, but only a little. Tony walked up to her and she stood up. Tony took Ziva into his arms, and Ziva cried into his shoulder.
"I do not know where he brought me. But when I was let out of that trunk, I fought. I managed to knock him out. Then I ran, I do not even remember where I went. But somehow, I ended up at NCIS." Ziva finished. Tony just stood there holding her. He managed to lead her to the couch, where they laid down, Ziva curled up against Tony.
"Who is this Jacob person?" Tony asked the question still on his mind.
"I do not know. That week that I was alone, I searched him. I check for any previous arrests, or anything, achievements from high school, but there were none. There were not any records for a man named Jacob Chazin." Ziva said. Tony just held her tighter. The burning question on his mind couldn't hold any longer.
"Ziva, I have to ask. Who is the father?" Tony asked. Ziva looked up at him. She opened her mouth to answer. The 2 words were about to come out of her mouth when… Her cell phone rang. She heavy sighed, looked at the caller I.D, and sighed again.
"Shalom, Abby" Ziva said, disappointed.
"Ziva, we just saw Jacob, he was at the supermarket" Abby said from the other side of the line. Ziva shot up like a rocket; Tony followed, but didn't know why Ziva was running around his apartment, gathering his things.
"Where is Aaron?" Ziva asked, getting her coat on.
"We're at NCIS Ziva. Hurry Aaron is balling his eyes out, asking for you" Abby said. Ziva shut her phone and looked at Tony
"Jacob showed up at the supermarket." Was all Ziva had to say, before Tony grabbed his keys, tossed them to Ziva, and ran out the door.

Tony and Ziva arrived at record time to NCIS, well with Ziva driving that is. Tony and Ziva bolted to the elevator, and went up to the squad room. The ride up there was silent, Tony and Ziva not paying any attention to either one, except for the fact that they where holding hands. The elevator 'dinged' letting them know that they had arrived. Ziva ran out of the elevator, with Tony closely behind. They saw Abby sitting at Tony's desk, holing a crying Aaron. McGee was doing something on the computer, and Gibbs was making phone calls. Aaron opened his eyes, and saw his mother. He jumped off Abby's lap and ran to her. He was wearing a pair of blue onsite pjs and he was holding on to his teddy bear. Ziva scooped Aaron up, and wrapped her arms tightly around him. Aaron threw his arms around Ziva, both wanting never to let go.
"Ben, it is ok. You are safe." Ziva said, tears silently moving down her face.
"Ani ohev otach Mommy" Aaron said, burying his head into her shoulder. Tony put a comforting hand on the small of Ziva's back. Aaron looked up and saw Tony. Aaron smiled a little when he saw Tony. Tony also recognized the smile. 'Nah, it couldn't be.' Tony thought.
"Toey" Aaron said, putting his arms in the air, to signal that he wanted to go to Tony. Tony looked at Ziva, who just nodded. Tony carefully took him in his arms. Aaron threw his arms around Tony, and Tony hugged him back. Ziva came up near Tony, and stood awfully close to Tony. Gibbs looked at the three of them, and couldn't not stop thinking about him, Shannon, and Kelly. He sighed at the thought, and walked up to them.
"Ziva, I don't want you leaving this building until we get this guy." Gibbs said, in his fatherly tone. He patted Aaron on the head, and went towards the elevator. He left the squad room, and went down, probably to see Ducky. Abby walked up to the three of them, with McGee following.
"Ziva, I am solo sorry. I just saw a man in the shadows. Then Aaron started freaking out saying he wanted to leave. So I just put him in the car… I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry." Abby continued to say. She was in her worry mode, and she knew how hard it was to get her out of it.
"Abby, I do not blame you. Jacob is a dangerous man" Ziva said. Abby hugged Ziva, and then Tony, and then patted Aaron's head.
"Alrighty then, me and McGee are going to go down to my lab, and find this Mr. Chazin" Abby said. She and McGee made their way towards the elevator. They left. Ziva turned to Tony, and took a look at her son. He had managed to fall asleep, on Tony's shoulder with his Teddy bear still in his arms. Tony looked at Ziva and opened his mouth.
"Am I the father?" Was all Tony said. Ziva opened her mouth…
