Sorry that this chapter is really short. Also, it is a flashback and that's why it's italic. I may write a few more of these, and you will be able to tell be it's italic-ness. Alrighty?

When Ziva woke up to her alarm, she had a weird feeling in her gut. She thought of it as nothing, and went on with her usual routine.

She put on her running clothes and went out, seeing the usual faces, and the usual scenery.

Back at her apartment, she showered and dressed, making sure she smelled and looked as good as possible. Today was the day she was going to tell Tony.

She grabbed a quick breakfast and drove to work. She drove slightly less recklessly, as she didn't want to get her and her child killed.

Ziva was the first person in the bullpen, as usual. She checked her email, like she did every morning.

Five minutes after she sat down, both Tony and McGee entered the bullpen.

Shortly after, Gibbs was there, oddly early.

The morning was spent doing paperwork, as Ziva tried to work up the courage to ask Tony to speak to her in private.

The day went on as a usual paperwork day.

When Gibbs wasn't there, Tony would throw paper balls, paper airplanes and paperclips. Ziva would yell at him, and threaten to kill him with one of the paperclips. He would back off, and instead pick on McGee, until he slowly drifted back to Ziva.

Then Gibbs would come back and they would pretend they had been working the entire time.

McGee would go down to Abby's lab.

A couple hours later, Gibbs would get up, mumbling, "Coffee run."

Tony and Ziva were alone in the bullpen. She wanted to tell him somewhere more private. But as she was about to tell him, McGee came back. She didn't want to sat, "Can I speak to you in private?" in front of him, so she jammed the words back down her throat.

It seemed like fate didn't want her to tell Tony. Every time she was about to say something, she would be interrupted.

Why did fate hate her?

As soon as Gibbs let them go, Tony was out of the bullpen. It was like Ziva blinked and her was gone.

The gut feeling returned when she was in her car. Maybe it was hormones

She thought Tony may have had something to do after work, so she waited in her apartment for a few hours. She fixed her appearance up since she had spent the day at work, and ate a quick meal.

Ziva had to tell him tonight. She was almost at the ten week mark, and she wanted Tony to be at the appointment with her.

By tomorrow she would lose her courage, which had been very hard to build up.

She sat in her car for a few minutes, reciting what she would say.

"That's a nice speech. You should have used it earlier," the familiar voice said from the back seat of her car.

Ziva gasped as the hard object struck her head, knocking her out.
