It had been a wonder they hadn't gotten pulled over because of how fast Gibbs was driving. They managed to make it to the hospital in a little less than half an hour.

"Still not used to that, Bishop?" Tony said.

She nodded, trying to clear her head. They walked into the hospital. The receptionist looked up.

"Are you the group the FBI instructed me to watch out for?" She asked.

"Yep," said Gibbs, flashing his badge. "NCIS."

She smiled.

"Upstairs, room 312," she said.

The team thanked her, and headed into the elevator.

Ziva finished up in the shower, and slipped back into her hospital gown. She walked out and lay back down on the bed. Fornell watched her with amusement shining in his eyes. A loud rap on the door followed by a rough voice was heard, saying:

"Tobias, we're here. Do we get to meet mystery woman now? DiNozzo's nearly wet himself in anticipation!"

This was followed by a

"I have not!"

Which caused Fornell and Ziva to burst out laughing.

"Yeah, come in," Fornell calls.

The team walks slowly in the door and gasps.

"Ziver?" Gibbs asks.

"Yes, Gibbs," she replies. "It is me."

Abby runs over and envelopes Ziva in a hug.

"Ziva, Ziva! We've missed you!"

Ziva smiles.

"I have missed you too. All of you."

Gibbs, Tony, McGee, and the MEs join in the hug. After a while, Ziva breaks the hug and walks over to Bishop, who's s standing in the background awkwardly.

"You must be Ellie," she said. "It's nice to meet you."

"As you Ziva," she replied. "I've heard many great things."

They shook hands, before Ziva moved back to the bed.

"So why were you coming here, Ziva?" Gibbs asked her.

"I had to talk to you," she says.

"About what?" Tony asks.

All of a sudden, there is a knock at the door.

"Ziva!" Eshel calls. "We're here!"

"Come in!" She replies.

"Who's coming?" Asks McGee.

"The reason I have to talk to you," Ziva answers vaguely.

The Director, Eshel, and Arianna walk into the room. Arianna is crying somewhat fiercely, the Director trying with futile efforts to calm her down.

"Aww, baby," Ziva says, and walks over and takes Arianna from her. "Shh, shh baby. Ima's here. Ima's here."

The baby stops crying, and offers Ziva a watery smile, who grins back.

Fornell and the team gape at her.

"Meet Arianna," she says. "My daughter."
