Hello again! I am sorry for not updating in awhile. This chapter might not be very long. I am not feeling very creative today. Anyway,

On with the story!


Five months pregnant.

It was now approaching Thanksgiving. With Ducky asking around about dinner plans and Tony annoying her to death, Ziva was down right fed up with it. She sat at her desk uncomfortably, resting her hands on her swollen stomach while Tony blabbed on.

"Are you sure it's just one baby? I mean come on, you're huge!"

"Tony, I am pregnant. I am supposed to be huge. And I already told you, we are going for an ultrasound appointment later on today. We will find out then!" she replied to her husband.

"I know, I'm just wondering. You're a lot bigger than you should be and I don't want anything to be wrong," Tony said, kissing her on the lips. Things started getting passionate until Gibbs walked into the bullpen, slapping Tony twice on the head.

"Ow, Boss! Two! Why two!" the senior field agent shouted while rubbing the back of his head.

"Well for one, I don't slap pregnant women, especially Ziva. Two, keep it out of the office," said Gibbs.

"Yes, Boss," came Tony's curt reply.

"Gear up. We got a dead marine," Gibbs ordered. He turned to Ziva to see that she was standing. A quick glare sent her flopping back down in the seat with a pout. He walked to the elevator with McGee and Tony in tow, a smirk on his face.


The crime scene had been nothing special. They found the body, brought in two suspects whose fingerprints on a note left behind, interrogated both, and arrested the murdered. Or so they thought.

Now, Tony and Ziva sat in their car with Kalev and Adi in the backseat as they drove to determine the gender of their baby and to see if it was healthy. He looked over to his wife to see her resting her head on the window, her eyes closed and her hands again resting on her stomach.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked. At the sound of his voice, she snapped her head up and yawned.

"Yes, I was just tired," Ziva replied while rubbing her eyes like a child. She peered back to see the two toddlers asleep, their heads lolling to the side. She smiled and made herself comfortable.

They arrived at the doctor's office a few minutes later. Adi was resting in Tony's arms, her head on his chest and Kalev was sleeping on his mother's shoulder. Two old women sat in the waiting room, smiling at the sleeping toddlers as the small family walked by.

Tony set a now half-awake Adi on the ground to talk to the lady at the desk. The little girl followed her mother to a chair beside the old women, rubbing her eyes tiredly. She groaned and pulled herself up on the chair, burying her head in Ziva's shirt and placing a hand on her mother's bulging stomach. Kalev was still fast asleep.

The woman closest to Ziva leaned over and whispered to the Israeli.

"They're beautiful children. How old are they?"

"Thank you. They are almost three. Their birthdays are coming up very soon, in fact," Ziva responded, giving the frail woman a tired smile.

"You're quite welcome, dear. If you don't mind me asking, how far along are you?" the woman asked.

"About five months. I am here to see the gender of the baby."

"Five months? Pardon me, dear, but are you by any chance having twins?"

"I am not quite sure. I have been asked that numerous times, so I guess we will find out soon," Ziva said, nodding her head towards Tony, who was walking back to the other seat beside his wife, being careful not to sit on Adi.

The old woman went back to chattering with her partner. Ziva turned to do the same with her husband, whispering to him.

"I do not know why, but I am feeling frightened," she admitted. Tony gave a small and quiet chuckle as he pulled her closer.

"You're gonna be fine. So is the baby. Or babies I should say." Ziva smiled and nodded closing her eyes for a moment.

"Mrs. DiNozzo? We're ready for you!"


The NCIS family sat in Ducky's dining room. A huge turkey sat in the middle of the large table. Gibbs sat at one of the ends of the table, Jenny sitting beside him on one side and Tony on the other with Kalev on his lap. Ziva sat beside Tony with Adi on her own lap. Ducky was at the other end of the table, Abby beside him. Palmer and McGee sat beside her.

Ziva and Tony looked at each other. The pregnant Israeli nodded, signaling her husband to set Kalev down for a moment before he could stand up. He brought his glass of wine in the air and hit it with his fork. Ziva almost laughed at his unusual actions.

"We have an announcement to make! And considering Ziva can't exactly stand up right now, I'll say it."

He paused for a moment, causing Ducky, Palmer, Abby, and McGee to lean in further. After a few moments of silence, Kalev spoke up.

"C'mon, Daddy! Say is pwease!" Abby laughed at his cuteness and gave him a high-five.

"Alright, now for the news that you've all been waiting for. The reason for Ziva's sudden gain in weight," he paused again for dramatic effect, which caused a glare from Ziva from the impatience and the comment about her stomach, "is because we're having twins."

Abby stood up quickly and shouted. "I knew it! I knew it! Yes! McGee, Palmer, you owe me 20 bucks each!" The two men sighed and pulled out their wallets.

Ducky stood up and bent down to kiss Ziva's cheek. He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

"Congratulations, my dear." She nodded and sniffed, her hormones getting the better of her. Gibbs also stood up and placed a kiss on Ziva's soft black hair. Jenny gave her daughter-like friend a tight hug and ruffled Adi's hair.

"So, Ziva, what are the twins? Boys? Girls? Boys and girls? Neither?" Abby asked frantically. This received a few awkward stares from everyone at the table.

"A boy and a girl," Ziva whispered, smiling.

The goth jumped and squealed again. "Yes! Another 20 bucks, guys!"

They continued their Thanksgiving meal, laughing and joking like a real family.


I know the ending was not that great. I am tired and starting to lose my focus. Please review! Happy Thanksgiving!
