Sorry for the long delay but I had to move out of my apartment at Disney since my program ended so I haven't had my laptop for a few days. Any who here is the next chapter so please enjoy.
If I owned NCIS, Cote would definitely be staying onboard.
I took Alecia and walked around the house for a bit, getting used to my surroundings. Downstairs was the kitchen, living and dining room, and am office that had two computers and paperwork scattered everywhere. Upstairs to the left was the master bed and bath as well as a nursery. To the right there was another bathroom, a hall closet and the guest bedroom. I dropped my stuff in there and laid the baby down on the bed. She rolled over and tried to crawl away but Shaliev was waiting for her and scooped her up, causing both of us to laugh.
"I'll be right back."
I stood up and grabbed my purse then headed to the bathroom. As soon as I was done I set my phone timer for three minutes and waited. I washed my hands and sat on the edge of the bath while I waited. Once the timer went off I looked at the stick and about had a heart attack. Two little blue lines stared me in the face. My suspicions were proven and I had no idea what to do. Judging by the time frame I knew I was at least 8 weeks along. I grabbed the other three out of my bag and repeated the same process, just to be sure. When all three showed two little blue lines I knew I was in trouble.
"Oh Mama where are you when I need you the most."
I heard Alecia start crying so I wrapped up all the tests and threw them in the trash and washed my hands once more before I walked out of the bathroom and into our bedroom. Shaliev was attempting to calm a screaming Alecia.
"What happened?"
"I don't know she just started crying."
I beckoned for him to pass her to me and when he did I could tell she was a little warm so I took off her sleeper and found the source of the crying, a wet diaper. I walked to the nursery and Shaliev followed. I laid her down on the changing table and changed her diaper quickly. Once I gave her a new sleeper and a pacifier she quieted down and laid her head on my shoulder.
"Shaliev why don't you go warm up a bottle for her while I go change into something more comfortable."
He nodded and headed to the kitchen while I walked back to our room and laid Alecia on the bed with some pillows on either side of her so she wouldn't roll. I changed into some soffes and a tank top and then picked Alecia back up and rocked her. Shaliev came in and handed me the bottle. I removed the pacifier from between the baby's lips and replaced it with the bottle. Shaliev sat behind me and wrapped his arms around my middle. I turned my head to look at him and he kissed my cheek.
"You are really good with her Katan."
"Thanks but we need to get as much practice as possible."
He let go of me and stood up and walked to the window. I stood up and walked up beside him.
"Are you sure babe?"
"Positive, I took four tests to be on the safe side. We are going to be parents in nine months."
He turned to look me in the eye and cupped my face between his hands.
"Are you ready for this?"
"Do I have much of a choice? But yes, I think I am ready. Are you?"
"As long as you are by my side I think we can do anything we want Katan. Yes we are still very young and this isn't the position I pictured us in but I know that we can do this."
I smiled up at him and kissed him tenderly, remembering that I was holding my cousin. I pulled away from him and heard the garage door open.
"Are we telling them right away or do you want to wait? It's up to you Katan."
"I do not want to tell them right away. I will talk to them but I would really like my parents to be the first people we tell. And when we do tell anyone, we can do it together."
I smiled at him and he kissed my forehead.
"One last thing Katan, you can tell your Dad by yourself. I think I will be too busy hiding so he doesn't murder me."
I laughed as I walked out the door and down the stairs to find my aunt and uncle.
So that's all for right now. Sorry this chapter is shorter than usual but I am in a rush to get to work but I wanted to update before I left. I will try to get the next chapter up in the next two or three days.
On a completely different note have you seen the preview for season 11? I bawl my eyes out every time I think of Ziva leaving and the song itself they use in the preview is very sad. In case you don't know the song it is "Holding on and letting go" by Ross Copperman.
So review pleases and tell me what you think or if you need someone to cry with you about the impending departure of Cote. :'(
