AN / Sorry for the big delay. I was in vacation but had a lot of work.

There is the new chapter. There is a lot of Tiva in it. I know I'm supposed to be writing a McAbby fic right now. Sorry. There will be a lot of McAbby in next chapter, I promise.

Four months later, nothing had really changed. It would be more precise to say that no one had any idea how much things had changed. Tony and Ziva were sure that Gibbs had an idea of their relationship. Actually he knew more then they expected, he even knew something they both ignored.

Ziva had moved to Tony's place two months ago. Gibbs didn't work so much the weekends. Ziva had noticed something. Every day at lunchtime, Director Shepperd went down the stairs, had a look on Gibbs' desk, and then walked to the elevator. A few minutes later Gibbs walked out the squad room. They also were back together.

The team didn't have a case. They were catching on some paperwork. Ziva finished and went to Abby's lab.

'Hi, Abby.'

'Hi.' The four months pregnant forensic scientist answered. 'How are you?'

'Tired'

'Ziva David id tired. I can't believe it.'

'It's not funny, Abby.' Ziva had bad mood.

'I'm not surprised. Tony said you get up at 4:00 every morning and you run.'

'Usually, I do. But for a few days I haven't. I'm too tired.'

'Tim told me, that Tony told him.'

'What!! Tony told Tim? How long is McGee Tony's confident.'

'Since you're dating him. They're very close now. Tim is giving tips to Tony.'

'Tony accepting tips from McGee: I have to see that. Either Tim is giving strange tips, or Tony doesn't follow them.'

'Tony doesn't follow them. Tony tells Tim all his plans about you. You remember the surprise he made for your birthday? I knew every detail a month and a half before.'

'So you know what he's preparing. He's very mysterious lately.'

'No idea. They don't tell me much because they know I'll tell you. But I have my ways to take information from Timmy.'

'Abby, can I ask you something?'

'Sure.'

'I've never meant to hide from you about my relationship with Tony, but I've never actually told you, and you knew from the beginning.'

'Oh! That! Gibbs told me on our way from the airport the day we got back from France.'

'What! Gibbs knew? But how is it possible? He almost didn't spend time with us after your weddings day.'

'Exactly. He didn't want to spend so much time with you two because he knew that the situation would be embarrassing."

'Why didn't he say anything about rule twelve?'

'Ziva, he's breaking it himself.'

'I know that, Abby.'

Tony and Tim were talking. Tony was nervous as Tim was nervous 8 months before. He was about to propose Ziva to marry him.

'You thing, she'll like it?'

'I'm sure Tony.'

'Until now, I think, I seemed to infantile to her.'

'You've always been juvenile. It's part of your charm I suppose. But you've grown up lately.

'Shut up McGeek.'

'You want these tickets for Veniece or not?'

'Of course I do. You managed to find some?'

'Yep.'

'I just hope that Gibbs will give us a week off.'

'I reserved two tickets for him too.'

'Gibbs in Venice: I have to see that.'

'See what, DiNozzo?' Gibbs walked in the bureau section.

'Nothing, boss. I've got to ask you something.'

'Go on.'

'Abby, McGeek, Ziva and I wanted to go to Italy for a few days.'

'The four of you, or just you, in order to propose Ziva to marry you?'

'Wow ….. uh …….' Tony didn't know how to react. '… You …. How … know….. long ….. didn't say ………. 12'

'Yes, I know Tony. Since the very beginning. And why should I say anything about rule 12?'

'We broke it.' Tony said.

'I don't Think so.'

'You don't?'

'No. Both of you always use your experience in investigations.'

'What?' Tony looked puzzled.

'Rule 12: always trust your gut.'

'When did it change?' McGee asked.

'When I got back from Mexico.'

'Sure.'

'So what do you think, boss?' Tony asked.

'About what?'

'The trip to Venice' Tony explained.

'And what exactly do you want me to say?' Gibbs asked.

'Well, you could let us take a week off and…' Tony began.

'And you could take a week off too. I have two tickets for you, too. You can bring someone with you.' McGee finished.'

'I'm gonna talk to Jenny. She'e the Director after all.' Gibbs said and walked to Jen's office.

'Went well.' Tony said. 'You think he'll come?'

'I even know who he will bring with him.'

'Jen' Ziva said as she entered.

'Hi' Tony said and hid the box which contained the engagement ring. 'How are you?'

'Tired.' Ziva answered. 'You're ready? I want to go home.'

'Sure.' Tony said. 'You sure you don't want to see a doctor? I don't think you are ok, especially you stomach.'

'Why?'

'We already talked about it. You're eating like a pig the afternoon, and vomit everything in the morning'

'That was very nice of yours.' Ziva said ironically. 'by the way, Tony, Gibbs knows everything.'

'I know.'

'You know? And you're still alive?' Zima smiled.

'Yes. Rule 12 changed.'

'Gibbs wouldn't break his own rule. That's why he changed it.' Ziva said.

'I know, sweetcheeks.' Tony said. 'Did you think about the trip to Italy?'

'Yes.' Ziva said. 'It's ok. I'll see you country, only if you promise me that we'll go to Israel later.'

'Sure. I've always wanted to go there with you.'

'We're going then.'

'I can barely wait' Tony smiled. 'McGeek, give me the tickets. McGee…. Probie… where are you?'

'Here, Tony. I was in Abby's lab.'

'Ok. I just Gibbs will give us that week off.'

'He will.' Ziva said as he Tried to reach her desk. She didn't manage and collapsed. Tony caught her.'

'McGee, call Ducky, NOW!' Ziva, you ok?'

'Yes, Tony.' Ziva said annoyed. 'I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just a little hungry.'

'What do you want?'

'A pizza.'

'On my way.'

'Ziva, usually you don't like pizza.' McGee said.

'Did anyone ask your opinion, Probie? Where is Ducky?' Tony said.

'He's doing an autopsy of a contaminated body. He said it's safer if you ask somebody else.'

'Where is my pizza?' Ziva asked.

'On her way, sweetcheeks.' Tony answered and grabbed his wallet. 'McGee, Gibbs is coming from Director's office. Ask him what I should do. If she's not better within 10 min, take her to Bethesda.'

'I'll be fine when you get me that pizza.' Ziva said.

'I'm going to buy a pizza, or I'll become one myself. I'll be right back.' Tony said and ran to the elevator.

'Boss.' McGee called Gibbs.

'Wait, McGee. I know can't wait to go to Italy but…'

'It's not that.4 McGee started to explain. 'It's Ziva. She collapsed. Then she's perfectly fine and wanted pizza, which Tony is bringing. Ducky is busy, so Tony wanted me to make you check on her.'

'You've feeling better, Ziva?' Gibbs asked.

'Yes.'

'Good. Now tell me when you want to go to Italy.'

'Boss…' McGee tried to say something.'

'If you don't finish your report, I won't let you to go there. Ziva, the exact day of your flight.'

'Tim has the tickets, but I have the date in my diary. It's in my bag.' Ziva opened the diary and went threw the pages when something caught her attention. She said something in Hebrew, then went to Gibbs' desk. 'You knew?'

'It was not very hard not to find out.'

Tony entered the squad room. He had brought the pizza Ziva had ordered. He entered the bureau section. He saw Ziva who was crying on her desk. Gibbs was trying to reassure her. Abby was smiling and jumping all around the space.'

'Ziva, you aok?' He asked.

'I'm fine.' She said, and wiped away her teers.'

'Hey, Princess. Don't worry. Tell me what's wrong.' He asked and hugged her.

'Nothing, Tony.'

'What did you do to her? Why is she crying?' He turned serious. 'Is this serious?'

'DiNozzo, come with me.' Gibbs said.'

'Boss. I want to know.'

'Come with me.'

They entered the elevator. As soon it began to move, Gibbs switched on the emergency button.'

'Boss, I have to be up there with Ziva.'

'Calm down, DiNozzo.'

'You know what she has, don't you?'

'Yep.'

'Is it serious?'

'Yes, but…'

'I knew something was wrong. I'll take care of her until she's better.'

'Well, it's half of your fault.'

'My fault? What have I done? Oh my God. I'm an idiot. Is she sick? Is there a quick way to heal her? I'll do anything…' DiNozzo panicked.

'She's pregnant, you idiot.' Gibbs said and head slapped his senior agent.

'What?' Tony stopped talking. He was shocked.

'Yes, Tony.' Gibbs said. 'You'll be a dad soon.'

'Boss, I'm not ready. I'll mess up everything.'

'You won't.'

'How can you be sure?'

'I've been threw this. I reacted a lot like you when Shannon was pregnant. I was scared. I knew I would screw up. The difference between the two of us, is that I screwed up and you won't.'

'You didn't screw up, boss.'

'I did. I wasn't with them when I should have been. Don't make my mistake.'

'I won't, boss.'

'I'm sure, you won't.'

Gibbs switched off the emergency button. They both entered the squad room. Ziva and Abby were laughing. McGee was trying something on his computer.

'What happened here?' Tony asked.

'They change their mood every 10 minutes, Tony. Get used to that.' Tim said.

'Right.' Tony said and kissed Ziva on her cheek and placed his hand on her stomach. 'I love you, sweetcheeks. Both of you.'

'We love you too, my little hairy butt.' Ziva said. 'I want some chocolate.'

'Didn't you ask me to buy pizza?'

'Yes, but I changed my mind.'

'And how often will you change it?'

'I don't know.'

'Only every 5 to 10 minutes.' McGee said.

'How much do I have to learn?'

'A lot, Probie.' McGee said.

'What did you just say, McGeek?'

'Well, you are a Probie in that area, aren't you, Tony?' McGee said and they all laughed except of Tony.

AN / There is it. Any ideas about names for Ziva's baby?

Next chapter: they are back from Venice. The McGee's have an appointment to a doctor. They want to know if their baby is a boy or a girl.
