The following day: Tony is talking to Ziva, about a case. Someone hits him upside the head. They both turn around.
"Gibbs? What are you doing here?" Tony questions.
"Do you really think that I could leave and not come back?" he asks.
"You're back?"
"Yes Tony, now I expect you to behave,"
"Ok,"
Gibbs leaves to go visit Abby. As he hops on the elevator he observes Tony and Ziva.
"Hey Abby can you tell me something?"
"Sure Gibbs what do you need to know?" Abby says without thinking while staring at a computer screen.
"Well..."
"Gibbs? What are you doing here?" Abby asks as she spins around.
"I'm back,"
"Good. So what did you want to ask me?"
"Is there something going on with Tony and Ziva,"
"Not that I know of why?"
"I don't know. I just have a feeling that something's going on,"
"Why don't you check it out?"
"I will,"
The end of the day: Tony meets Ziva at her apartment. Ziva knows that he's coming so she let's Alijah open the door while she's taking a shower.
"Hey Alijah,"
"Hey,"
"Can you do me a favor buddy?"
"Sure what?"
"When your mommy gets out of the shower will you give her this?"
"Is it a key?"
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Yeah,"
"Well this just so happens to be the key to our new house,"
"Really?"
"Yep. It's great. I think you'll really like it,"
"Is it big?"
"Yeah. You're bedroom is so cool. It has ships painted on the wall. And there's a big back yard. And I have a surprise for you in the back yard,"
"Really what?"
"I can't tell you that's why it's a surprise,"
"What are you two talking about?" Ziva asks as she brushes her hair.
"Nothing," Alijah responds quickly.
"Sure,"
"Mommy,"
"Yes Alijah?"
"I have something for you,"
"What?"
Alijah walks over to her and sticks the key in her hand.
"A key?"
"Yep,"
"Tony why did my son just give me a key?"
"Because it's to our new house,"
"You got the house?"
"Uh huh,"
"When can we go see it?"
"Now,"
"Really?"
"Yeah,"
"Cool,"
"Alijah can you give your mommy and I a minute to talk in private,"
"Yeah,"
"Ok,"
"What do you need to talk to me about?"
"I told him that I have a surprise for him at the house,"
"What kind of surprise?"
"A puppy. I wasn't sure if it was ok so it can go back if it's not,"
"No its fine,"
"Really?"
"Yeah,"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure,"
"That's great cause I really didn't want to give it back. It's so amazing,"
"What kind of a dog is it?"
"A collie,"
"Oh crap,"
"What?"
"I went to the doctor earlier,"
"Oh and?"
"I just realized that he hasn't called back yet,"
"Oh,"
"So you still don't know,"
"Nope,"
"So are you ready to go see the house?"
"Yes,"
"So when are we going to be able to move in?"
"Whenever we're ready,"
"Ok,"
the new house: Alijah is in the back yard with Tony and the puppy. Ziva is walking through the house marveling at all the space when her cell phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Is this Ziva Dinozzo?"
"No... oh yes. I'm sorry getting used to the name. I just got married,"
"Oh, well congratulations on the wedding,"
"Thank you,"
"I calling from Doctor Rowland's office,"
"Oh ok,"
"I'm just calling to tell you your test results,"
"Oh,"
"Congratulations you're pregnant,"
"Thanks,"
"You should make another appointment in about six weeks,"
"Ok thank you bye,"
Ziva runs down stairs into the back yard. She bends down and whispers in Tony's ear. He kisses her, and then picks up Alijah.
"Hey Alijah,"
"Yeah?"
"You know what would make this back yard really great?"
"We have a dog,"
"What about getting a really great swing set,"
"Ok,"
"How about tomorrow I pick you up from daycare, and we'll go and pick one out,"
"Ok," he smiles.
"Alijah why don't you try and think of a name for the puppy while Tony and I talk in private,"
"Ok,"
Tony follows Ziva inside to the kitchen,
"What's up?"
"I just got a call,"
"From who?"
"The doctor,"
"Oh, so?"
"I'm pregnant,"
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine," she lies.
"No you aren't," he tells her as he watches a tear fall down her cheek. "What's going on?"
"Nothing don't worry about it,"
"Please tell me. Don't cry,"
"It's just I'm scared," she admits even though she doesn't want to seem vulnerable to him.
"About what?"
"This. What if something happens? Tony last time everything went wrong,"
"Ziva everything will be ok. I promise you,"
"Tony anything can happen. What if something happens to you? I'll be all alone to raise two small children,"
"I'm not going anywhere,"
"What if there's a car accident and you die,"
"Stop it. Nothing is going to happen to me. I promise,"
"But you can't promise that,"
"Ok. Why don't we go to a lawyer and write a living will?"
"A what?"
"A living will,"
"What's that?"
"It's where you make a will while you're alive basically. It just says what each person wants to happen to their assets when they die. And stuff like that,"
"Oh, ok,"
He wipes the tears from her face and hugs her tightly.
"Are you going to be ok?"
"Uh huh," she replies.
"Don't worry, ok? I love you and I refuse to go anywhere," he tells her.
