Ziva stepped into Abby`s lab, or "Labby" as everyone else seemed to call it, walked over to her chair, and flopped herself down in it.

Abby looked down from the computer to see a very annoyed Ziva. "Hey Ziva!"

"Abby." Was her reply. One-worded and harsh.

"Owch Ziva, what`s wrong? You never speak to me like that. Like...ever!" She exagerates the last word.

"I. Want. To. Murder. Tooth. Pick!" She seethes.

"What`s he done now?"

"He has refused me contact to Tony."

"What? Did you tell him about..."She signals to Ziva`s stomach.

"Yes Abby. He still said no. It would jepordize the mission. A mission that he didn`t even want to go on!"

Neither women spoke for a few seconds, just obsorbed the silence. Well, untill Gibbs came in that was.

"Whatcha got for me Abs?" He gave her, her Caff-Pow, and stood behind her. He hadn`t noticed Ziva yet.

"Huh?" Abby came out of her daze. Confused.

"The case. Abby."

"Oh, right, of course. Okay, so the knife that you found at the crime scene, I was able to find three fingerprints. The thumb, forefinger and the middle finger."

Ziva didn`t hear the rest of what Abby had to say. She just stared at the desk. Before she even knew what she was doing, she said, in a stoic, unemotional voice,"I`m pregnant."

Silence. Pure silence.

"What?" Gibbs finally managed to say, even if it was kind of breathless.

"Pregnant, you know, that thing where you`ve got a baby inside you?" Ziva snapped.

"Ziva! It isn`t Gibbs fault!" Abby said hotly, "Blame stupid toothpick for not letting you talk to Tony!"

"What`s Tony gotta do with it?"Gibbs turned to Abby, " And you knew?"

"Well yeah, but only for a few days I swear!"

"It`s his isn`t it?"Gibbs asked Ziva when she had refused to reply, silence was yet again her reply. He squeezed the bridge of his nose, sighed, and said aloud,"I`ll talk to him." With that he left the room.

"Well...that went better than I expected." Abby said lightly, smiling at Ziva awkwardly.

"Hm, yeah it did.." She agreed. Maybe things would be alright, and she`d be able to tell Tony all about the baby. Maybe...

~Four Years Later. 13th July 2014. Ziva`s apartment~

"Taliana, we have to go my motek." Ziva smiled down at her three year old daughter, who had serious bed head hair. Blonde curls stuck out in all directions, and her brown eyes squinted in the morning light.

"Okay..." Taliana managed to say, her voice thick with sleep.

Groggily, the small girl flipped her blankets back and swung her legs out of bed as her ima picked her up and took her into the living room.

"So, my little princess, what does the birthday girl want to wear on her birthday?" Ziva cheerfully asked her daughter, keeping her mind off of the fact Tony was yet again not here. With her. And Tali.

"My blue dress!" Taliana clapped her hands together in delight. Ziva laughed along with her.

"Your blue dress..."

**1 hour later**

Ding! Ziva and Taliana stepped over the threshold of the elevator and onto the bullpen floor. Since it was Tali`s birthday, she`d promised to bring her to see her aunt Abby, uncle Mcgee and grampa Gibbs at work today.

Before Ziva could say anything, Taliana was running along to where Gibbs stood smiling, but the smile was kind of stressed too-like he`d just had an extremely awkward conversation. When Tali was just infront of him though, he leaned down and grabbed her into a big cuddle and gave her a pack on the cheek,"Hey Tali, how`s the birthday girl?"

"Great!" She grinned back, showing off her obvious DiNozzo smile.

Ziva watched from the side of her desk, not even looking at it as she sat, just focusing on her daughter and father. She felt something was out of place, but she ignored it; this was Tali`s special day. Nothing was going to ruin it.

"Tali..guess what grandad's got you?" Gibbs sing-songed as he hid a small china doll behind his back and smiled at Tali.

Tali, being the little girl she was, decided it would be fun to just jump up and grab Gibbs`s arms. Which ended up with her being swung around like the china doll; Ziva laughed at the odd but heartfelt scene.

( An hour later )

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Tali, happy birthday to yooou!" the team all sang to Taliana, in Abby's lab. The cake infront of Tali was red and black, mainly black, but it had little icing roses on it, with Taliana's four today! written on it in red icing. As Abby helped Tali cut the cake, Gibbs pulled Ziva to the side,"Hey Ziva, I've umm, I got some news this morning. I think you're gonna like it."

"Yeah? What's that Gibbs?" she asked.

"It's..um well,"He coughed, "Tony's coming back. Tomorrow." Gibbs looked at Ziva wearily. Her eyes were almost falling out of their sockets and her mouth was slack.

"W-what am I going to say about Tali? Toothpick hasn't let me be in contact with him for nearly four years. He may think she is not his..."She shook her head. Then smiled her most radiant smile,"He's coming back!" And she gave Gibbs the biggest hug, since Tali was born.
