"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!"...Tony cringed, his hands flew up to his head, rubbing it.

Ziva and Kate stood in front of Tony, their arms crossed, just staring at him.

Tony nervously smiled as he took a step back, he lowered his hand, holding them out in a defensive manner..."Whoa, ladies...whoa."...Gibbs moved between them and looked at Tony..."Boss...I swear, I didn't touch her."

Gibbs smiles..."I know."

Ziva and Kate turn, looking at Gibbs..."Wait, you're the father, Gibbs?"...Kate asked, shaking her head.

"Why are you shaking your head?"

"No reason really."

"You're still shaking your head, Kate."

"I'm shocked, you and Abby? Just no way...I mean, I know she likes your silver hair and all, but...you and Abby? What the..."

"I'm not the father, Kate."

"Then it is Tony!"...Kate grunted, her eyes shot back towards Tony.

Ziva moves to Tony..."Is it true?"

"Nope, I bet it's...it's ummm, McLovin?"...Tony gritted his teeth, hoping he was right.

"Yup!"...Abby cheered..."I'm having Tim's baby!"

"Heh."...Tony grinned..."Told ya I didn't touch her."...Tony stepped forward, giving Abby a hug..."Are you sure I'm not the father?"...Tony whispered, letting out phony laugh..."Just kiddin', guys...congratulations, Abby...you're gonna be a great mommy."...Abby smiled at him as he tilted his head back, giving her a kiss on the forehead..."Anyone know where McGoo is?"

"Why, Tony?"...Abby stepped back.

"To congratulate him, of course."...Tony smiled.

Abby crosses her arms..."Don't you dare hurt him, Tony DiNozzo."

"Heh. Would I do that?"

Abby punches Tony on the arm..."Yes."

"Heh."

Abby punches him again..."No hurting, McGee, I mean it, Tony! He has a baby to support now, a little..."

"McBaby."...Tony finished her sentence with a smile.

Abby smiles at Tony as he slowly backs away, Kate and Ziva take his place, giving Abby a hug one at a time.

Tony retreated to Gibbs..."How long have you known?"

"Since this morning."...Gibbs answered.

"I'll get the drop cloths and the duct tape."...Tony whispered, turning back, flashing a smile towards Abby..."And a blowtorch, Boss."

Gibbs softly laughs..."She's happy."

"Yeah, good for them."...Tony stepped away, moving towards the elevator.

"Tony!"...Abby yelled..."Where are you going?"

"Just to the hardware store, I just remembered I needed a few things."

"What things?"

"Heh. Ziva."...Tony said, getting Ziva's attention, he gestures her over with the motion of his head.

Ziva walks over..."Yes?"

Tony smiles at her..."Care to join me?"

"Where are we going?"

"The hardware store, weren't you listening?"

Ziva rolled her eyes.

"And, umm, maybe a jewelry store?"

"You? Jewelry? Why?"

"I have 6,843 dollars and 17 cents."

Ziva cocks her head, squinting at Tony, confused.

The elevator door opened, Tony stepped in..."That'll buy a good engagement ring...right?"

Ziva's confused look quickly disappeared as she leaped into his arm, mere moments before the elevator doors closed. He grunted as she kissed him..."Will you marry me?"

"Yes."...Ziva smiled..."But only on one condition."

"Which is?"...Tony replied.

"We never go to sleep angry, we never lie to one another and I want another baby...a little girl."

"Hmm, lets see? Make up sex before bed? Check. Never telling you your ass looks big in pants? Check. Making sweet, beautiful love to you for the rest of our lives?"...He smiled and nodded.

"What, ran out of checks, yes?"...Ziva laughed.

"No."...Tony kisses her softly on the lips, he flips the emergency switch with his left hand and whispers..."Checkmate."
