"Why isn't this thing coming out of me?" Ziva panted.

Tony looked at her sympathetically. "I don't know Zi…They're running some tests to see if they can figure out what's wr…"Abby hit him on the arm and gave him an angry look. "Going on." He quickly covered.

"Ziva the doctors don't see anything wrong with you or the baby." Abby said gently. "If there were anything to worry about you would know by now."

"Oh gosh… here it comes…" Ziva said anxiously as she squeezed her eyes shut. "OH OW!"

"Zi… Don't push… That's all you need to focus on doing until the doctors know what's going on." Tony tried to instruct.

Abby's eyes widened as she shook her head. "Tony do not try and help…"

"WOULD BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT UP?" Ziva asked anxiously.

"See." Abby insisted.

"She definitely said both of us." Tony protested. "Both means me and you… not just me."

"TONY SHUT UP!" Ziva screamed through clenched teeth. "When… can… I push?"

Abby grabbed Ziva's hand. "Don't… Ziva it's for the safety of you and the baby."

Ziva shook her head. "Abby I want it out…"

Suddenly several doctors came into the delivery room. "Ziva don't push." They instructed clearly.

"YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING MORE UNIQUE TO TELL ME!" Ziva asked angrily.

"Ziva you can't push, we need to do a cesarean section if you want your baby to be alright." The main doctor instructed.

"Why?" Ziva asked sounding more terrified than ever before.

One of the doctors stopped realizing she didn't know what was going on. "For both your own and your baby's health you need to remain calm. Your baby is under added stress because you have a Type B Nuchal Cord."

Abby's hands immediately flew to her mouth as she gasped. "What does that even mean?" Tony asked sounding just as terrified as she felt.

"It means that the umbilical cord has not only wrapped around the baby's neck, it's in a knot. What that means is that we have no way of slipping the cord over the baby's head on its way out." One of the nurses informed them. "The only way to alleviate the risk of suffocation is to deliver the baby via cesarean section."

Ziva's expression of pain quickly changed to words of fear. "Tony…" She choked out before tears started falling.

"Everything…will work out." Tony hesitated. "For better, or for worse… This is happening."

"Who's going into the cesarean section with Ms. David?" One of the nurses asked those in the group.

"Abby." Ziva replied immediately.

Abby shook her head slowly. "I can't Ziva…"

"Why?" She asked angrily. "You said you'd be there for me Abby!"

"I can't Ziva… I don't feel well enough right now…" Abby said quietly as she sat down.

"What do you mean you don't feel well enough?" Ziva asked anxiously.

"You're kidding… You've been in my situation for nine months and you can't figure out why I don't feel well?" Abby muttered quietly.

Ziva looked at her clearly in pain for a few moments before she spoke up. "It's okay Abs… I understand…" She said right before another contraction hit. "OW!"

"Alright Ms. David it's time to get you into the OR." One of the nurses said as several other doctors transferred her onto a gurney.

Ziva nodded. "Let's do this."

"Abby?" Tim asked carefully as a very pale Abby walked slowly into the waiting room. "Are you okay?"

Abby shook her head. "I need to sit down." She said so quietly Tim almost couldn't hear her. Tim carefully helped her over to two empty chairs. "Thanks." She said quietly as she buried her head in her hands.

"Abby Ducky didn't want to tell me." Tim said quietly.

Abby looked up at him and glared. "Obviously he did, Ducky doesn't do anything he doesn't want to. If you see him tell him I'm not talking to him."

Tim sighed. "Abby when Tony called I thought he was taking you to the hospital." Tim admitted. "Ducky only told me because he didn't want me to show up here and not be able to help you because I didn't know what was going on."

"You don't even deserve to know about my baby." Abby sniffed.

Tim looked at her wide-eyed. "Abby what are you talking about?"

"You don't want my baby Tim… you said you were happy we were done!" Abby said angrily. "And if you don't want it then fine, but you can't have me either!"

Tim immediately put his hands on her shoulders. "Abby…Alright…I said I didn't want another baby…" He admitted quietly. "But Abby… I love you and our children. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for my girls… and honestly I'm really happy we're having another baby Abs. I just didn't know I would be until now." When Abby continued to sit still he spoke up again. "What's wrong Abs?"

"An affair!" Abby snapped. "You seriously thought I was having an affair?"

Tim sighed. "Abby… I shouldn't have said that… I shouldn't have mentioned it, I trust you Abby."

"NO YOU DON'T!" Abby shouted. "I can't understand where you got the idea that I would cheat on you!"

"Abby…" Tim tried but failed. "I'm sorry."

Abby stood up. "Where's… anyone else?" Abby asked impatiently.

"Abby!"

"SHUT UP MCGEE!" She yelled angrily before heading toward the parking lot once again.

Gibbs was coming into the waiting room as Abby made her way out. "What did you do Mcgee?" He asked angrily.

"I told her I wanted a divorce." Tim said ashamedly.

Gibbs's palm immediately made contact with the back of his head. "What were you thinking?"

"It was before I knew… Gibbs… I don't even know what's going on anymore!" Tim said quietly. "I don't want to hurt her Gibbs…"

"It's a little late for that one." Gibbs muttered. "Are you going after her or is that going to have to be done by me?"

"She won't listen to me." Tim said quietly.

Gibbs let out a frustrated sigh before quickly heading into the parking garage. Abby was curled up on a bench just outside the door. "Hi Gibbs." She said quietly as she wiped the tears from her face.

"He didn't mean it you know." Gibbs said as he sat down next to her. "He didn't want to hurt you."

Abby sat up and looked at him angrily. "I can't take all of this right now Gibbs."

"What do you need?" Gibbs asked, knowing not to push her in this state.

Abby closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Ginger Tea and Saltines." She said without unclenching her jaw.

"I'm going to send Tim out here to sit with you while I get that for you Abs." Gibbs said gently. "Can you try and work something out?"

"If by something you mean a divorce I'm sure Tim can work that one out without me." Abby muttered quietly as Gibbs headed back into the hospital.

"Mcgee, get out there and tell your wife how you feel." Gibbs ordered.

Tim stood up. "Is she okay?"

"I'm going to get her something for her morning sickness. When I get back, you better have worked this out." Gibbs said before heading over to talk to Ducky.

Tim sighed realizing it was then or never. He went quietly out into the parking structure and took in a deep breath before speaking up. "Excuse me is there a Abigail Mcgee here?" He asked carefully.

"Shut up Mcgee." Abby said with a sniff.

Tim couldn't help but grin. "You haven't called me Mcgee since Stace was born." He said happily remembering their youngest daughter's birth. "You know… you always look so happy when you're pregnant Abs."

"Oh really?" Abby asked sarcastically. "Have you taken a look at me recently?"

Tim's smile changed to a frown. "Abby you look beautiful, and there isn't one thing I would change about you if I could." Abby's eyes brightened in response. "I love everything about you."

"Everything except for my baby." Abby said quietly.

"Abby I know what I said… and now I can't even understand why I wouldn't want another baby." Tim said gently. "I'm so excited about this baby Abs. He or she is going to be the perfect addition to our family." He tried to press his lips to hers but she turned her head.

Abby shook her head. "No Tim…"

"Abs?"

Abby bit her lip as tears started to fall. "An affair?"

"Abby… I never should have jumped to that conclusion." Tim admitted. "You've been nothing but perfect for almost 14 years now and I had no reason to assume something like that."

Abby gave him a grunt of disbelief. "The six years before we got married didn't give you any reason to trust me? I thought we were friends… best friends."

"Abby we are!"

"Tim… I don't want a divorce… but maybe a break wouldn't be the worst thing for us." Abby said quietly.

Tim's eyes widened. "Abby you need…"

"No Tim… I don't need your help. I don't need or want your fussing. I need a break from dealing with you and all your crap!" Abby said sounding frustrated.

"One time! ONE TIME!" Tim shouted back. "I write us breaking up into a rough draft one time and suddenly I'm a horrible husband!"

"Why would you even do that?" Abby asked. "What, did you want to fantasize exactly how I would take you suggesting a divorce?"

"Abby of course not!" Tim replied. "I… Do you want to know why it didn't end up in my novel?"

"Because I found it?" Abby replied sounding irritated.

Tim shook his head. "Because I couldn't write anything after it." He admitted. "If we ever broke up our lives wouldn't continue. There's no way I could continue on without you."

Abby's face immediately softened. "Really?" She asked quietly as she moved closer to him.

Tim nodded as he cupped her chin in her hands. "I need you Abby." He said gently before pulling her lips to his.

Abby pulled away shortly after. "Tim…I just need to sit still for a bit."

"Morning Sickness?" Tim asked as he rubbed her back.

Abby scoffed. "Try all day sickness."

Tim carefully pulled her into his arms. "Gibbs will be back soon." He comforted. "Are you as excited as I am about Tony and Ziva's baby?" He asked after a few moments of silence.

Abby looked up at him with sad eyes. "You don't know what's going on do you?"

Tim looked at her in disbelief. "Please tell me they're gonna be okay…"

"Abby?" Gibbs called as he arrived back at the hospital waiting room.

Tim looked up from the couch he was sitting on. "Shhh." He hushed him pointing at the sleeping Abby resting on his lap.

"You work it out Mcgee?" Gibbs asked as he handed him the brown paper bag he was carrying.

Tim nodded. Gibbs took that as an okay to sit down and took the chair across from the couch. When Tim didn't do anything but stare at the wall he knew something was up. "Is there something else bothering you?"

"There's still no update on Ziva." Tim said quietly. "If anything happens to them… Abby's going to feel horrible."

"Abby?"

"Alright! I'm going to feel horrible! I just don't know if I'd be able to handle it!" Tim admitted.

Gibbs gave him a small smile. "You're a good man Tim."

It was then that Tony came out into the waiting room looking dazed. He quietly sat down next to Gibbs and put his face in his hands. "I don't know what we're going to do…" He mumbled.

"Tony what's going on?" Tim asked anxiously.

Tony sighed. "Ziva's out of surgery. We have a daughter."

"Congratulations DiNozzo." Gibbs said quietly as he patted his back.

Tony shook his head. "I'm not done." He said regretfully. "Sienna is in the NICU and it's terrifying."

Tim looked at him in disbelief. "Tony… I'm so sorry."

"She's hooked up to so many machines." Tony said sadly. "She's not even… it's like she's a machine. A machine's breathing for her, feeding her, keeping her at a normal body temperature!"

"Calm down DiNozzo!" Gibbs cut him off. "Both Ziva and your daughter are alive right now, don't waste it!"

"Gibbs… they don't think Sienna's going to make it through today."
