Hello everyone! Forgive me for not updating. I have been in Paris with my family over the holiday break! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Thank you for reviewing! I am almost to 100!

On with the story!

6 and a half months pregnant.

It was January 9th in the DiNozzo household. The two little children were still asleep in their beds, a teddy bear under each of their arms that they had received for Christmas. Their parents, however, were wide awake and in a rush.

Ziva was in the kitchen, her night gown still on, showing her huge, swollen stomach. She was cooking something quickly. Abby was setting the table and humming softly to herself.

"Now what do you want me to do, my friend?" Abby asked the Israeli. Ziva pondered for a moment.

"You could help me when I finish the pancakes. There are candles in that drawer over there," she said pointing to a drawer beside the refrigerator. "Take three purple ones and three blue."

"Aye aye, Captain!" the Goth saluted. Just then, Gibbs walked in the door. He approached Ziva and kissed her on the cheek.

"Need any help, Ziver?" he asked, kissing Abby as well and observing how busy both women were.

"I have Abby," she stated, "but you may want to help Tony and McGee in the living room with the decorations."

Gibbs nodded and walked out in the living room. As soon as his foot stepped in the clean room, he smirked at the sight in front of him. There stood Tony and McGee, struggling over a banner in the wall. His senior field agent had tape and paper in his hair. McGee was slouching over on the chair while Tony stood on his shoulders to hand up the banner. The silver-haired agent cleared his throat loudly causing both men to turn around. Tony fell off of the chair with a silent scream.

"Mornin', Boss!" he whispered. McGee gave a silent nod.

"Need any help, DiNozzo?" Gibbs said in a teasing tone. Tony nodded sheepishly and stepped aside while his boss climbed up on the chair and firmly taped the banner in place. He stood back and observed his work, nodding in approval.

The walls were decorated with balloons and banners, all saying "Happy 3rd Birthday!" The coffee table had presents divided in two piles and little chairs sitting in front of each pile.

"It took you two that long to put up a banner?" Ziva asked, coming from the kitchen with Abby wrapped around her arm and her free hand resting on her stomach. "I am glad Gibbs showed up when he did!"

"Heh…well…McGee wouldn't sit still and I…Nevermind," Tony stuttered, earning a headslap from Gibbs.

"The kitchen is all ready, the pancakes are made, the cake is in the fridge, and the living room is ready. Now we should get the kids," Ziva explained, using her fingers to count the completed jobs. Tony nodded and helped his wife up the stairs.

They opened the door slightly. Kalev was hanging halfway off the bed, his teddy bear still clutched in his little hand. Adi was curled in a tiny ball; her own bear snuggled in her side. Ziva tip toed to her son's bed, gently shaking his sleeping form. Tony did the same to his daughter.

Kalev awoke with a tired grin. His mother smiled lovingly at him. "Happy Birthday, tateleh." He smiled in return and wrapped his arms around her neck, burying his face in her neck. The pregnant Israeli did the same to her daughter who had her arms wrapped around Tony's neck. They carefully walked down the stairs to their awaiting family in the living room.

Their little heads lifted up off of their parents' shoulders and their eyes lit up immediately. The two jumped from their seats in Ziva and Tony's arms and ran into the living room where Abby squished them in a hug.

"Happy Birthday, bugs!" the Goth squealed. The kids looked shocked but smiled when they noticed the presents. Gibbs kissed Adi on the cheek and ruffled Kalev's already messed up hair, earning a giggle from both children. Ducky did the same while McGee gave both a small hug.

"Momma! We open presents now!" Kalev asked excitedly. Ziva laughed.

"Of course, tateleh." Adi and Kalev wasted no time in rushing to their seats where they proceeded to destroy the wrapping paper.

After the kids opened their presents, they had eaten their pancakes and eaten their cake. The adults had sung Happy Birthday to the two and had helped the three year olds blow out their candles. Nobody really had a chance to eat any cake before Adi and Kalev smashed it with their hands. Everyone enjoyed having their faces painted with icing.

They had opened their presents within five minutes. Kalev had gotten numerous toys, new outfits, and a blue collar and leash that he didn't quite understand the meaning of from Tony and Ziva. Gibbs got him a toy boat, handmade by Gibbs himself. Ducky gave Kalev a play doctor kit. Abby bought him a little black hat with a bat face and wings. McGee got him a calculator that talked to him. Finally Jenny arrived and had gotten the boy an official NCIS jacket.

Adi had gotten the same things from her parents as Kalev had, including a light purple collar and leash. Gibbs had given the little girl a small dollhouse that was originally Kelly's. Ziva had shed some happy tears over that. Abby had found a miniature Bert for the little girl. Ducky had given Adi a knitted quilt, made by his mother. McGee gave her a little laptop, the one's that teach you ABC's and such. Jenny had also given Adi an NCIS jacket.

The two were half asleep on Ziva's shoulders after they had gotten a bath. While they were being cleaned, the rest of the team had offered to clean up the living room and kitchen. Now they sat on the couch, their mother holding both of them. Just then, Tony came back down the stairs with two boxes in his hands. They weren't wrapped, which confused the children greatly.

"C'mere guys. Give your mom a break and open your last presents," he said softly. The two slid down off the couch and walked tiredly to the two boxes with their names on them. When the boxes suddenly shifted, Adi squealed and Kalev fell backwards. They peeled open the top of the boxes to reveal a small golden retriever puppy in each. The dogs proceeded to jump out on top of the kids and lick their giggling faces.

"PUPPIES!" they screamed simultaneously. The rest of the team watched in amusement as the children were chased around by their dogs. Tony caught both of them and wrestled them into their appropriate collars.

"Is mine a girl, Momma?" Adi asked her mother, who was almost half asleep herself.

"Yes, tateleh, she is a girl. Your brother's puppy is a boy. You may go ahead and name them if you want," Ziva explained with a yawn.

"McGoogle!" Kalev suddenly shouted. Everyone turned to look at him. "His name is McGoogle," the child stated firmly. Tony busted out laughing, pointing to McGee who had a stunned look on his face.

"I wike Teddie," Adi explained.

"AWH!" Abby suddenly shouted, scooping the little girl up in her arms. "That's adorable!"

"McGoogle and Teddie?" Gibbs asked. "I like it," Jenny replied. "It's cute."

Everyone turned to Ziva to see her reaction with the names, but smiled when they realized that she had fallen asleep, her arms around her stomach and a smile plastered on her face.

"Alright," Gibbs whispered, "time for us to go." After kisses and hugs to the family, everyone had departed. Kalev and Adi had also fallen asleep by their mother, McGoogle and Teddie sleeping beside their owners. Tony sighed and carried them to his own bedroom. The puppies lie down in their appropriate little beds and fell asleep. Ziva was still sound asleep with Kalev and Adi wrapped under her arms.

Tony lay down with them on the bed, covering them all up with the warm blanket. He kissed each of their foreheads and promptly fell asleep.

Happy Birthday, Kalev and Adi.

I hope you liked it! My own son's birthday was today, and the same thing basically happened. Please review! Have a wonderful week!
