E-Embryo
Set in Future Tiva
"Are you sure you want to come Tony? I can do this myself if you do not want to go." Ziva said as she sat at the table eating breakfast facing Tony in their apartment. They had moved in together about a year ago, and had been dating for almost 2 years. She recently found out she was pregnant, and she had her first appointment today. Initially, Ziva was shocked and seriously thinking of adoption given her lifestyle and her past – but it did not take long before she relented and realized she could not give her baby up. She was already starting to love it and want it too much. When Ziva told Tony the news, once he processed it, at least – he was thrilled. But still, Ziva could see a glimmer of doubt in his eyes at times. She really wanted him to want the baby as much as she did, but she did not want to push it.
Tony blinked and looked at her. "Are you crazy? Of course I want to go with you! I have to see our mini-DiNozzo/David ninja/movie buff. Iam so excited for this!" He looked over at Ziva, who was willing away tears of joy from Tony's reassuring words.
"That is fantastic." She looked up at him vulnerably – much unlike her usual tough exterior. "I just was a little worried that…" She trailed off. "That you would not want the baby. Because I do. I cannot give it up. I am already way too attached."
Tony brushed a stray hair out of her face and caressed her cheek. "Oh, Ziva, I love you. And I love this baby, God help me." He chuckled slightly, kissing her lightly on the lips.
"Alright then. Let us go now, yes?" She stood up and grabbed her jacket as Tony nodded in agreement and followed her, holding the door open for her.
"After you, m'lady" Tony grinned and gestured towards the door. Ziva smiled and walked out of the apartment, hand-in hand with Tony.
Tony and Ziva had been ushered into the examination room just five minutes ago before a young doctor walked in.
"Hi, I am Dr. Tanya Drew. Let's have a look at the baby, shall we?" She smiled at the couple who exchanged smiles.
"Yes, we would love to." Ziva replied as she lightly gripped Tony's hand.
"Okay, let's get you ready then." She put the gel onto Ziva's stomach and moved her wand around a little. "Here we are! It looks like you are 7 weeks pregnant already! "
Ziva smiled at Tony as they both stared at their baby. Their little miracle, they thought. We made this, this perfect, beautiful human being. And although they weren't talking, they had always had that uncanny ability to have a conversation without speaking at all. After they both managed to turn away from the screen, they looked at each other and smiled. Yes, this will be life-changing. And I do not think this will be the last time, either. They looked back at the monitor and couldn't stop smiling.
