A/N: Please don't kill me. Sorry about the MAJOR delay. I feel so guilty for making y'all wait. :/ Next chapter…? Coming right up! Enjoy!


Chapter 5

"Oh my gosh, Ziva!" Abby squealed, as she stared at Ziva's ultrasound picture. "It's so cute and small!"

"Yes," Ziva replied, as she sat in Abby's lab chair. "It is as small as a blueberry."

"Raspberry," Tony corrected as he entered the Abby's lab. He walked over to his wife and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"How's my baby?" He asked as he rubbed Ziva's still flat stomach.

"Tony, you need to stop rubbing my belly," Ziva protested. "It is w-"

She was cut off as Tony pressed his lips to hers, causing her to moan slightly. She wrapped her arms his neck as Tony wrapped his around her sides. They deepened the kiss, totally forgetting about Abby, who was now grinning widely at the couple, in the room.

Suddenly, Tony felt a sharp pain on the back of his head, causing him to break the kiss. When Tony spun around, Gibbs was already walking away from him.

"DiNozzo!" He barked over his shoulder. "Come on! We've got a dead Petty Officer!"

"Boss/Gibbs?" Tony and Ziva asked in unison, fully knowing who their boss wanted. Tony grinned at her. He loved that Ziva was a 'DiNozzo' now.

Gibbs sighed and looked back at his field agents. "You, Tony!" And with that he left the lab.

"On your six, boss!" Tony called back. Turning to Ziva, he said, "Later babe. Love you."

"I love you too," Ziva smiled and dropped a light kiss on his nose, making him grin.

"Go!" She laughed and gave him a playful shove towards the door.

"Later Abs," Tony quickly said before exiting the lab.

Abby waved in reply and squealed as soon as he left.

"You guys are so cute!" She grinned, while giving Ziva a bone-crushing hug. Luckily, she let go of her strong hold before her pregnant friend lost too much air.

Ziva smiled. She was grateful that Abby approved of her being with Tony. Even Gibbs did. But, when she first began dating Tony in June of 2013, she was afraid that the team would not say 'yes' to their relationship. In September, they had broken the news to them. Gibbs had told them to try to keep it out of the office, even though he was slightly pissed at first. 'Try' they did, and that failed miserably. Gibbs had caught them making out in the elevator. Man, was that awkward afterwards. Two months later, in November, they had tied the knot. To outsiders, their relationship might have looked like it was moving too fast. But after knowing each other for eight years, and dating for three months, they knew they were ready for marriage.

"Ziva!" Abby exclaimed, pulling Ziva out from her thoughts. "Are you even listening?"

"Huh?" Ziva looked at her. "Oh! ?"

Abby groaned. "You can't be doing this!"

"Doing what?" She asked.

"Zoning out when we're planning for your baby shower!" The Forensic Scientist threw her hands up in frustration.

"Baby shower? I never knew we were planning a baby shower," Ziva was clearly oblivious.

Her friend sighed, handing Ziva back her ultrasound photo. "Here. We'll talk about it some other time. Jimmy might come back here with something that I should run some tests on."

"I'm sorry Abby," Man, she was doing a lot of apologising these past days.

"It's fine," The goth smiled knowingly at her. "Go back upstairs and wait for your hubby to come back."

Ziva laughed at that and said her goodbye before leaving the music-filled lab.


4 weeks later (12 weeks pregnant)..

"Chinese?" Tony whined. "Again? We had that last night! And on Sunday too!"

Ziva just rolled her eyes at his childish behaviour as she snuggled a little more into his side. He was laying on the couch with Ziva's head on his chest and her hand wrapped lazily around his middle.

"Oh come on Tony," She murmured. "But I thought you said that you loved Chinese food."

Tony scoffed. "Yeah…But not every single night! You gotta have something different sometimes."

Ziva laughed at that. She ceased her laughter a while and looked up at him with pleading puppy eyes.

"Fine," He sighed, defeated.

"Thank you, love," Ziva smiled as she gave him a quick peck on the lips.

She followed him to the front door with a grin on her face. She always got what she wanted; especially now that she was pregnant.

"See you soon," Tony said after putting on his shoes and gathering his cell phone, car keys and wallet.

He walked out to his car that was parked in the driveway. He turned around to see Ziva leaning on the doorpost of the front door, smiling.

"I love you!" She called out to him.

"I love you too!" He called back, blowing her an overly-dramatic kiss, which caused her to laugh.

Man, that was one beautiful sight. His wife standing in their house, knowing that she was carrying his baby, saying that she loves him. It brought tears to his eyes, but he quickly blinked them away. Tony DiNozzo was starting his own family. It was hard to believe, even to him, but it was true.

Ziva smiled to herself as Tony drove off. She really did love him. She closed the door and locked it before making her way back to the couch in the living room.

After five minutes of watching the news, the doorbell rang. Ziva smiled and got up from the couch, taking off the T.V in the process.

"You're back so soon?" She called as she walked to the door.

Her heart stopped beating and her smile vanished instantly when she saw who was standing in front of her.

"Hello Ziva," The man smiled. "Are you not happy to see me?"

Ziva swallowed hard as bad memories flooded her mind. Her hands started to shake as the man grinned.

"W-what are you doing here?" She managed to choke out. "How did you find me?"

The man laughed at that.

"There are so many stories I have to tell you," He replied, his accent audible. "Can you not see that I have come for you, my dear?"

He put a finger to his lips and pulled his suit jacket back enough for her to see his gun in a gun holster on his hip.

Ziva inhaled sharply as her throat closed and tears welled up in her eyes. She had left her guns and knives in the living room; thinking that it was Tony at the door.

"Please," She whispered. "No."


Gibbs was pulled out of his sleep by his ringing cell phone.

He sighed heavily and flipped it open, "Gibbs."

"Boss!" Tony's urgent, yet worried, voice could be heard on the other end of the line. "She's gone boss."

"Who?" Gibbs asked in reply as he got out of bed.

"Ziva! Ziva's gone."


A/N: Dun-dun-dun [8] I'm extremely sorry for not updating in, like, forever! So sorry! I deserve a Gibbs' slap. I realised that I didn't mention Abby (or the rest of the team, except maybe Gibbs) in the story yet. So, I gave you some Abby-action! Yayy? Yeah, I know it wasn't enough; especially for you Abby-lovers. But, you'll see more of the team (hopefully) in the next chapter. So who do you think the mysterious man at the door is? And why does Ziva act that way towards him? Any guesses?
Hint: Not Ziva's father (because he's dead). Sorry?
Hint #2: Someone from Ziva's past in Tel-Aviv (well, duh!).
Please review! I really need some reviews, please? It keeps me going!
Thnx! (That's if y'all are even reading this anymore…)
Wow! Long-author's- note- much! ^^ xD 'Till next time! Xoxo

P.P.S. And when is CBS gonna give us the Season 11 promo?! I WANT IT!
