Chapter 5:

"Damn!" shouted Castle

Kate smirked in victory, she had won this round of their Nerf Gun battle. Castle slumped down on the couch and took off his Velcro vest and pulled out the bullets stuck to it.

"Give it up Castle, you can never beat me." Kate taunted

"One day, you watch out Beckett. Don't get all cocky there now baby doll."

"That's disgusting Castle, do not ever call me baby doll or you will be crying like one."

"Point taken," Castle raised his hands in mock surrender.

As a punishment, Castle had to down three shots of tequila.

"So, any scoop on this new friend of yours?" asked Castle

"Mind your own business."

"Writer's intuition," he said casually

"You say that so casually that you make me wonder how many times have you repeated that to any person"

"I kinda lost track. Ziva?"

"Well, things got complicated at work for her so she had to move and that's all I'm gonna say."

"Hmmm. Fair enough." Replied Castle

At Kate's apartment

Ziva had thrown up again. She was suspecting that something was fish. Or was it fishy. Who cares? She would have to go see a doctor. But she was just starting out at the precinct. Skipping your first week of work was not exactly the best thing to do as a building impression. She would just have to put the visit to the doctor on hold for a few weeks.

Three weeks later,

Ziva had been given her official NYPD precinct badge. She had slogged like hell for the past two weeks and finally, she was approved for official and proper field work.

It was one fine day, the team was chasing down a lead on their latest case. They were down at Greenwich chasing a suspect at a back alley. Ziva had sprinted ahead before the detectives. She felt a wave of extreme nausea come over her. She fell to the ground and a throbbing headache started. She saw the suspect fade away further down into the alley way and she knocked out into blackness. The last thing she heard was Kate screaming for backup.

At the hospital,

Ziva woke up and saw Kate and the team chatting with a doctor outside her ward. Wait. Hospital? What happened to her?

Kate noticed Ziva getting up and noted the doctor. The doctor walked in with a stern face.

"Hi Ziva, how are you feeling?"

"What. What is going on?"

"Ziva, you passed out while chasing down a suspect." Reminded Kate

"Why?"

"Congratulations Miss David, you're pregnant." Reported the doctor

"WHAT?" yelled Ziva

"I take it you didn't know?" Said the doctor

"WHAT? How… How can this be?"

"Most women ignore the signs and only consult a doctor when the symptoms worsen dramatically."

"Do you know who is the dad?" asked Kate

"I shall take my leave," the doctor said and excused himself

"I… I don't know." Ziva said

"Think hard." Said Kate

Ziva sat on the hospital bed, she thought real hard and it came to her. That day, he went over for a movie night. They drank a little too much and it went over board

"Oh no, I just realized."

"Who?" said Kate with a hint of urgency in her voice

"Tony."

"Oh boy," Whispered Kate

Back at NCIS,

There were some inconsistencies in Ducky's report. Ducky was evaluating through.

"No traces of human ash were found at the scene." Ducky was confused

"This can't be right." He thought to himself. "I will have to double confirm my findings with Mr Palmer."

Back at New York,

The weeks went by in a flash, Ziva soon started to show and was taken off from field work. She and Adam were now serious. Adam seemed fine with Ziva's pregnancy and the fact that it was not his child. Both of them were very much in love. For once, Ziva had a shot at something permanent.

Ziva gave birth with Adam by her side. The whole team was there for her. She named her new born princess, Aria Talia Dinozzo. She had to at least have a quality of her dad which she would never ever see. Aria had Ziva's hair and had Tony's hazel eyes. Castle and Kate bought her lots of toys and Ryan, Esposito and Lanie all babied her when they came over occasionally to visit. Both Adam and Ziva took care of her during her weeks of maternity leave. Aria grew up and was off to school in no time.

A year later,

Kate and the team were all hard at work, this one was a tough case. Ziva had gone home earlier as her regular nanny had to attend to something and could not take care of Aria for the night.

Ryan's phone desk rang, he picked it up after finishing his last sip of coffee.

"Detective Ryan here,"

"Hello detective Ryan, this is special agent Timothy McGee of NCIS."

"The navy cops? What is this about if I may ask?"

"We believe that a current case that your team is working on may be linked to one of ours."

"Hold on, let me connect you to our team leader, detective Beckett. Please hold."

"Yo Beckett! Got a call coming in for you, a special agent named Timothy McGee from NCIS."

"Bring it in."

In a few seconds, Kate's phone rang. She picked it up quickly.

"Beckett,"

"Hello detective Beckett," answered McGee

"Is this regarding the Navy killer?"

"Yes,"

The Navy killer was a serial killer killing naval officers as he (as they determined) held a grudge against them when his father died in the navy as their precinct psychologist profiled him.

The two detectives had a conversation for quite a while. The team had agreed that the NCIS team would come down on Friday and collaborate on this case. After disconnecting, Kate alerted Captain Gates and her team. She had to warn Ziva in private for this one.

At Ziva's new apartment (which was right next door to Kate's),

Ziva was helping Aria with her homework when the door knocked. Adam went to answer it,

"Hey Adam," greeted Kate

"Hey! What brings you here?" Adam stepped aside and let Kate go in

"I have something I need to tell Ziva in private." Kate said as she entered

"Oh, sounds big." Replied Adam

He led Kate to the living room where Ziva was with Aria

"Hey Kate!" called Ziva

"Hey. I have something I need to tell you privately." Said Kate

Adam went over and told Aria that he would bring her out for some ice-cream and help her with her homework while Ziva talked. Aria nodded enthusiastically, pecked Ziva sweetly on the forehead, said goodbye to Kate and went off with Adam.

Ziva got Kate a drink and settled down on the couch. Kate got the ball rolling

"So Ziva, I need to tell you that your old NCIS team will be back this Friday to collaborate on a case with us, the Navy killer one."

Ziva was speechless. "What?" were the only words that left Ziva's lips.

"You okay Zi?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little, taken affront."

"Aback."

"Right, that. So they will be here this Friday?"

"Yes, do you need me to take you out of this case or something?"

"No, no. I'm fine. You do not have to take me out of this big case just because my past. I'm cold."

"You mean cool right?"

"Yes, of course. Never really understood your American slang,"

"Okay, I'm glad you're taking this well."

"Sure, I will be prepared for this Friday."

Little did Ziva know that she needed to be prepared for more than just the reunion.

R&R please!
