Ziva woke up to somebody making noise not far from her bed. She looked around and saw somebody picking up her son through the dark room. No, she was not going to lose him too. She walked up behind the man and said, "Put my son down."
"Ziva! It's okay. It's just me." Gibbs turned around and said, sighing.
"Gibbs." Ziva said and sighed. "Do not do that. I was scared I would lose him too."
"Ziva, I will NOT let that happen, and neither will Tony." Gibbs said.
"I know Gibbs." Ziva said, forcing herself not to cry, she had cried to much in the last two days, she needed to get back to being her old self, for Tony and Zach. Gibbs hugged her.
"You need to sleep Ziva, it's 0500 in the morning; and you'll need it the next few days." He said and smiled.
"Are you going to stay here?" Ziva asked before she lay down.
"If you want me too." Gibbs said. Ziva nodded her head, so Gibbs sat down on the couch holding Zachariah. Ziva curled up against Tony and fell asleep.
At about 0600, Gibbs saw Dr. Chase walk in. He walked over to stand next to Gibbs and Zach.
"Hi." Dr. Chase said quietly so he would not wake Ziva and Tony. "I saw you in the hallway when I told Tony about… you know, Tali, but I still don't know who you are."
"Jethro Gibbs, you can call me Gibbs." Gibbs said just as quietly and shifted Zach's weight so he could shake Dr. Chase's hand.
"I'm Ziva's OB/GYN, Dr. Robert Chase." He said. "I was coming to tell Ziva and Tony that they could go home with Zach. Usually Ziva is up by now."
"Yeah, I made Ziva go back to sleep. I'll let them know when they wake up." Gibbs said.
"Thank you. How are Ziva and Tony doing?" He asked Gibbs, still in a hushed tone.
"As well as can be expected." Gibbs said and felt his phone vibrate. He stood up, careful not to disturb Zach, and stuck his hand in his pocket to get it.
"There are no phones in hospitals." Dr. Chase said and smiled. Gibbs gave him his signature stare.
"Rule 3; never be unreachable." Gibbs said and answered his phone. Dr. Chase had a feeling that Gibbs was a hard person to contradict and plus his stare kind of creeped him out, so he didn't say anything else.
"Gibbs." Gibbs said into his phone as Dr. Chase walked out.
"Where are you, Jethro?" Jenny said.
"Hospital. Tony and Ziva are getting sent home today." He said.
"Ok. I want to be there when they leave, I'll be there soon." Jenny said quickly.
"Okay Jen." Gibbs said and sighed. His wife could be so eager. Gibbs had married Jenny about a month after he found out she was pregnant with Kelly, and he had a feeling that he would stay with her. McGee and Abby had also married.
Not long after Gibbs got off the phone with Jenny, he saw her plus McGee, Abby, and Ducky walk in the door.
"Where are Kelly and Kyran?" Gibbs said questionably.
"Mr. Palmer is watching them." Ducky said, a bit too loud, Ziva stirred and Gibbs put his finger to his lips. They had found out that Palmer is surprisingly good with kids.
"Okay." Gibbs said as Abby walked up and held out her hands.
"I want to hold Zach." She said.
Gibbs sighed and handed him to her, then walked over to Jenny and put his arms around her waist. She turned her head and kissed him lightly.
"Hi." Gibbs said and smiled.
"Hey." She said simply. They walked over to sit on the couch. There wasn't another couch in the room that Ziva and Zach had been moved to yesterday.
"Now Ducky and I don't have a seat." McGee whined.
"Oh, Timmy." Abby sighed and stood up.
"Sit." McGee sat down and Abby climbed on his lap with Zach. Jenny and Gibbs did the same to make room for Ducky. Then, all of them waited for Ziva and Tony to wake up, but ended up falling asleep themselves.
