Hey guys, thanks for all those who follow my story, this chapter is much longer than usual!Enjoy!
He ran through the doors pushing everything on his way and went directly to the entrance's desk.
"Where is Andreya Gibbs?"
"Sir, please calm down."
"No, you don't understand…"
Connie was following him with Katy in her arms.
"I'm sorry but do you know where Andreya Gibbs is? He is her husband."
"It's okay. She is on the third floor. Examination room number 4"
"Okay, thank you."
Two minutes later, he was in the waiting room, pacing around the room. Connie was sitting with Katy in her arms. They were both thinking in silence about what had just happened. He suddenly stopped walking focusing on Katy, he didn't want to think about the possibilities because all the scenarios he could imagine involved the death of Ziva. If Gibbs was there, he would have slapped him so hard, it would have helped him. Connie recognized the look on his face, she's been there before, Ethan and Andreya has been here for her when her husband died. They waited for 20 more minutes when the doctor finally came.
"Are you with Andreya Gibbs?"
"Yes. How is she?"
"For now, she's angry at the nurses because they won't let her go. We did some scan, it's just a simple concussion but I have run some tests just to be sure, we are waiting for the results."
"Is she going to be fine?"
"Like I told you it's only a concussion that's all I can say until I get the results."
"Can we see her?"
"Yes, she is in the room 302."
"Thank you."
The doctor left. Connie wasn't sure about what to say.
"What the hell happened Ethan?"
"I don't know, they just found her in the park lying unconscious."
"I have warned you…"
"Listen Connie for now can you take care of Katy for me please, so I can go see Andy? We'll talk about this after. The three of us. "
"Of course, dear."
He went to Ziva's room. He knew that she was fine but he couldn't help and think about what could have happened. When he entered the room, she was sitting on the bed cursing in Hebrew at some nurse. He smiled, that was exactly the kind of thing he liked about her.
"Would leave that poor nurse alone please?"
"Finally, you're here! Can you tell her that I don't need IV lines please? It's just a bump on my head; I've been through a lot worse."
"I know…"
He had that look on his face and she knew he was thinking about all the times she almost got herself killed.
"I'm sorry but please can you tell her?"
"Excuse me Nurse…"
He came closer to see the name on her badge.
"I'm sorry Nurse Breen, I know my wife can be sometimes very rude but can you leave her alone please? She really doesn't need an IV."
"But the doctor said her stats weren't so good, she needs to be rehydrated."
"Oh I see! You didn't tell me this. Now stop being a child and let the poor woman do her job."
She crossed her arms and began to sulk, letting the nurse do her job. He was staring at her, telling to himself how beautiful she was even when she had this pout on her face. He has always been in love with her since the beginning but it was never the good time. Kate's death, Jenny's death, Franks' death, Jeanne, Ray so many obstacles.
"Ethan?"
"Yes?"
"Where is Katy?"
"In the hallway with Connie. Do you want to see her?"
"Not now. Let's wait she finishes with this damn IV."
It took her 10 more minutes to finish and leave the room. He sat on the bed next to her and kissed her on the forehead.
"What happened?"
"You tell me."
"I was jogging, I stopped because I felt something was wrong and then the pain and the dark."
"We have to leave tonight. As soon as we're out from here, we talk with Connie and both our families leave."
She nodded; she knew they were in danger.
"So what about your stats?"
"The doctor told me that I was dehydrated."
"That's all?"
«I told you I wasn't feeling right these days. I have lost appetite."
"Let's wait for the results. But I'm sure it's nothing."
"Tony, there is a difference between what you want and what's real…"
"Yes, I'm a dreamer so what? It's called hope."
"I know…"
"You're supposed to be the strongest one."
"I'm tired that's all. Can you tell Connie to come?"
Two minutes later Connie was in the room. She delicately put Katy in her mother's arms, the little girl was sleeping. She cuddled instantly at her touch.
"Do you feel better my dear?"
"I don't really know, for now all I want is sleep I think."
"So I let you rest, call me if you need anything."
"Connie wait, we have to talk and it's rather urgent."
Tony closed the door so no one could enter, and verified that nobody could hear them.
"We cannot talk right now but all you need to know is your family is in danger. You have to leave tonight with us."
"What?"
"I don't want you to panic. Do you trust us?"
"Yes."
"So pack all your personal stuff and we'll come after I'm discharged. Look normal and tell nobody."
"Okay?"
"Okay."
"Thank you for all Connie."
"You're very much welcome."
After she left, Tony took a chair and placed next to the bed.
"Do you think they miss us?"
"I'm sure Abby is devastated."
-Flashback-
"Hi Timmy how are you today?"
She kissed him on the cheek.
"I think there is something wrong…"
"What do you mean?"
"Tony and Ziva are unreachable. Gibbs is in Vance's office. Something is definitely going wrong."
"Ok now you're scaring me. What do you mean by unreachable?"
"One hour ago they've been called in Vance's office, ten minutes later they were gone. I tried their cell phones, they've been disconnected. I told Gibbs and he ran in Vance's office. I don't like that."
"I'm sure it's nothing…right Timmy?"
"I can't tell Abby, but all of this is strange. They said they were coming back, but there still no sign."
"Thanks you Abbs but I've already done that. Disconnected. Both."
"Are you sure they're out the building?"
"Abby I'm not blind or fool. I saw them. "
She sat on Tim's desk, lost in her thoughts. She was thinking like Timmy, something was wrong. They would never disobey Gibbs's order, and left without telling him. She didn't like that. A few minutes later Gibbs went downstairs and she saw the answer in his eyes. Something had happened… He came in the bullpen and hugged her. He whispered slowly in her ear and she began to cry.
-End of flashback-
A little knock on the door got him out of his thoughts.
"Hey doctor so…is it bad?"
"You are both okay. Only dehydrated."
"Hum excuse me… but… what do you mean by both?"
"Your baby and you."
They looked at each other; they were so surprised they didn't know how to react. He took his hand and smiled. He kissed her softly on the forehead. She was still speechless.
"Really?"
"Yes, about 14 weeks I say."
"But I didn't notice anything."
"It happens sometimes, but now that you know, it will start to show. All you need is to rest and eat more. I'll prepare the papers so you can leave, and prescribe you some vitamins. But you'll have to take an appointment with your gynecologist asap."
"Thank you doctor."
"You're welcome."
He went out the room. Ziva stared at her belly, and began to rub it.
"Another baby. I was thinking about all the bad possibilities, but a baby…It's wonderful Ziva."
"I'm happy too about this new life in me…"
"But it would have been better if we were back home. Zee…I promise this baby will be born with all his family around."
"I hope Tony. But what Gibbs is going to say?"
"Seriously Dinozzo, I let the two of you alone and you break all the rules. Are you kidding me? Two babies and a marriage! And then he would slap me so hard, I'm already feeling the pain."
She began to laugh.
"But you know that he'll be happy, he will have two grandchildren to spoil."
"We will see them soon enough, don't worry."
