"Dad, I got the candy."...Constance called out to her father, holding a basket full of candy.
Tony stood halfway down an aisle, looking at a book.
"Dad?"...Constance said, after he didn't respond..."What are you looking at?"
Tony closes the book..."'I meant what I said and I said what I meant...an elephant's faithful one-hundred percent.'"...He recited from memory.
Constance smiles..."Horton Hatches the Egg."
"Did your mom read you Dr. Seuss books?"
"Of course. My favorite was Green Eggs and Ham, though."
Tony squats down, searching through all the books, finding 'Green Eggs and Ham,' he runs his hand over the cover and smiles..."This was the only Dr. Seuss book my Mom ever read to me, the thought of green things made her happy."
"Why's that?"
"Probably her love of mint julips. Heh."...He starts to stand, but stops, grabbing a copy of every single Dr. Seuss book on the rack. He stands and turns to Constance, seeing her basket filled with candy..."She asked for all of that?"
"Yeah, pretty much, except for the snickers, we'll share those on the way home."...She grinned..."Oh, she also want some ice cream and...umm, what's that called? Uh, oh fudge!"
"I'm sure you'll think of it, Pumpkin."
"No, she wants fudge."
"Fudge?"
"Yup."
"Where in the hell do I get fudge?"
"The fudge factory?"...Constance said, grinning.
"Ha ha ha ha ha."...He rolled his eyes..."Wait, is there a fudge factory?"
"Heh."...Constance smiles and playfully shrugs.

Ziva was laying on her back, she turned to her left side, putting a pillow between her knees. She grunted as she turned back over to her back not being able to get comfortable. She sighed looking at her stomach as he kicked..."You want out, yes?"...She smiled and gently lied her hands on her stomach and softly started to sing in Hebrew.
She looks up as she finished singing, seeing Tony standing in the doorway. He moves over, setting two bags down on the bed next to her, he climbs on the bed, knees first, he leans down, giving her a kiss..."Got your fudge."
Ziva grabs one of the bags, pulling at it, she looks inside..."Books?"
"I hope she likes Dr. Seuss."
"Who? Constance?"
"The baby."
Ziva smiles..."Tony...we are having a little boy."
"Heh."
Ziva grabs his hand and just smiles.
"W-we're really h-havin' a boy?"...Tony lift's Ziva's shirt, exposing her stomach, he looks at her, she nods with a smile. He leans down, kissing her stomach..."Hi, big guy."
"You said you had fudge, yes?"...Ziva questioned.
Tony leans up..."Heh. Yeah."...Tony reaches into a bag, pulling out a package of fudge..."Thank you."
Ziva takes the package from him..."For?"
"Making me so happy."...He replied with a smile.
She smiles back, dropping the fudge.
"I thought you wanted fudge?"
"I want something else now."
"What? I'll go and get it."...Tony starts to get off the bed, but Ziva stops him.
"Want to have sex?"...Ziva grinned.
"Heh. Oh, yeah."
-------------------
Ziva awoke on her side, Tony's head lied softly on her stomach. He laughs. She moves her hand to his head, running her fingers through his hair..."What are doing?"
Tony lifts his head slightly..."Watching cartoons with my boy."
Ziva laughs..."You are."
Tony moves up next to her..."I'm what?"
"You."...Ziva smiled.
Tony kisses her..."Yeah, we were watching The Tick, on DVD. Ever seen it? It's about The Tick, of course, a big, blue super hero who protects The City. Arthur, Die Fledermaus, American Maid, the whole gang was there. Oh, I forget Sewer Urchin! It's really great, believe me. SPOOOOOOOON! That's his battle cry, The Tick's, by the way. Heh. Anyway, tomorrow, we might watch Transformers. Maybe he can watch the Smurfs with his sister, who knows."
"He will get out of the house once in awhile, yes?"...Ziva asked.
"Of course, we'll play baseball and football and basketball and play catch and do everything my father didn't do with me. I promise you, I'll be the best..."
Ziva kisses him..."I know."
"Then there's...Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats...HOOOOOOOOO!"
Ziva just shakes her head and laughs.
