After The Surprise:
"There's just one problem." Ziva said quietly. "What?" "What am I supposed to do with your body when Gibbs find out?" Ziva questioned seriously, "Because I for sure, am not telling him." Ziva said. "Oh, yeah. I forgot about him." Tony said quietly. "Forgot about whom?" Aunt Nettie asked from the door way.
"Oh, um, my father. I forgot to tell him about Ziva being pregnant." Tony answered quickly and Aunt Nettie nodded, "You should call and tell him then." She said as she handed him a phone. Ziva held up a hand, "I'll be right back, I have to…puke." She said before she hurried into her bathroom and locked the door. And soon after the sound of retching was heard, and Tony flinched at every sound. "Ah, the joys of pregnancy." Aunt Nettie sighed. Tony set the hammer down and breezed past Aunt Nettie, "What's so joyous about puking your guts out." He muttered as he entered the bedroom.
He lightly knocked on the door, "What?" she moaned. "You gonna let me in or what?" Tony asked as he heard the toilet flush. "No." Ziva stressed and Tony rolled his eyes, "You do remember that I'm a Special Agent, right?" Tony asked as he started to pick the lock. He pushed the door open and saw she hadn't even made an attempt to try and stop him. She was sitting up against the wall, with her head leaning against it with her legs pulled up to her chest. She looked over at him, "I did not forget." She mumbled.
Tony came and sat beside her and lightly brushed the curls from her face, "You know, if you weren't so red. You'd look kinda sexy." Tony joked and Ziva rolled her eyes at him. "Of course, the one thing Tony DiNozzo has on his mind is-." Zivaclosed her eyes as another wave of nausea came over her. "If I could kill you." She grumbled. "Hey, it was your idea." Tony argued back and Ziva turned her head so she could glare at him. "Technically, you kissed me." Tony rolled his eyes, "Sure, always blame it on the husband." Ziva quietly chuckled, "Oh course." "So that's a no on the celebratory cake?" Tony joked and Ziva rubbed her sides.
"Just the thought of cake makes me nauseous." "Well, you can't sit here forever." And with that, He gingerly placed his arms under legs and hoisted her up. "What are you doing?" "You need to lie down." Ziva opened the door for him before laying her head back on his chest. He slowly but surely made his way to couch where he set her down and draped a thick blanket, and he was about to ask her if she wanted anything when he saw her eyes drifting off softly, using her hands as a pillow. He slowly removed her hands and slid a pillow into place before kissing her forehead and sitting on the floor next to her. He took the remote and hit the DVR button and turned on, 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.' "Can't watch, Liar Liar now can we?" He said as he picked up a pregnancy book, "Ya-Da. Ya-Da." He said as he flipped the pages, "Gross!" he shrieked as his hand froze. He looked around before sliding the book under the couch. He lightly laid his head on the couch before his eyelids became heavy also and he too was fast asleep.
Rivka and Aunt Nettie nearly pleaded with them, but their complaints were only words to them as they eat breakfast on Monday morning. "I'll be fine." Ziva emphasized as she eat a piece of toast. "But Ziva, you've seen your child and now you have pictures, you should stay here where you are safe." Rivka ordered. "I promise I won't let her out of the building." Tony said as he finished the last of his orange juice. "Then I will go with you." Aunt Nettie said as she shrugged on her purse. Ziva looked over at Tony who was about to drop his glass, "B-but what about um…shopping." He asked nervously even though he tried not to let it show.
"A day without shopping will be good for me." Ziva rubbed the back of her neck, "Are you sure?" she asked hopefully and Aunt Nettie nodded, "But you must hurry or you will be late." Ziva sighed before she and Tony drug their feet across the floor to her bedroom. Ziva groaned softly before falling back on the bed, "Course, they would." Tony said as he threw a black long-sleeved shirt that hugged his frame on his body and a sports coat as Ziva ran her hands over her face. "This is gonna be a long day, get me an aspirin will ya?" she asked and Tony shook his head. "Can't, pregnant women can't have Aspirin, messes with the baby." Tony explained and Ziva threw one of the pillows at him. "I really hate you." Tony tossed her a black shirt that flowed at around her stomach before leaving into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Ziva stood up and slid the shirt on before slipping on a pair of white boot cut pants.
"Ziva-leh, you are going to be late." Aunt Nettie called through the door. "Just a second." Ziva hurried into the bathroom and grabbed a ponytail holder and as she was pulling her hair up, Tony took it from her. "What was that for?" she angrily asked. "Leave it down, I like it that way." He added a DiNozzo smile, just for charm. Ziva shook her head out to have the curls flow freely as she ran the water over her toothbrush. Tony handed her a small orange pill which she quickly swallowed with a handful of water before aggravatingly brushing her teeth. "10 seconds." Tony called as he grabbed his jacket. Ziva nearly threw her toothbrush down before grabbing her bag, her jacket, and kissing her mother good bye before hopping in the car with Tony and Aunt Nettie.
"With three seconds to spare." She breathed as Tony backed out of the driveway. The ride was mainly quiet until Aunt Nettie asked, "So, Tony. How did you Father react to the news?" Ziva raised her eyebrows, "Yes, Tony. How did he react?" she smirked. "Well, I wouldn't know, all he wanted to do was talk to you." Tony said turning the question back on her. "Oh, um. He was….surprised, and concerned." Ziva clarified uneasily. "Why?" Aunt Nettie asked as she leaned forward. "He was worried that Tony might not be….fatherly. He suggested that Tony take a how to be a father class." Tony nearly slammed on the brakes, "He did what!" He screeched. Ziva grinned over at him, "He said that-." "Oh, I heard you." Tony said as he started the car back up. "It does sound like a good idea, Mr. DiNozzo." Aunt Nettie chirped. "Sure." Tony said through gritted teeth.
Tony clamped the brake down as he slammed into his parking space, "We're here." Aunt Nettie climbed out the car and started toward the elevator. "Is she looking?" Ziva asked and Tony glanced back, "Yep." Ziva lightly rubbed Tony's nose, before pecking him on the lips lightly. "Love You." she murmured before climbing out the car. "Course you do." Tony muttered before he followed them into the building. They took the elevator up and when they made their way to the bull pen; Gibbs, McGee, and Jenny were waiting for them. "Hey Jenny." Ziva said as she set her bag down. "Hi Ziva." They kissed both cheeks before Ziva whispered in her ear, "I need to talk to you." Jenny nodded before hugging Aunt Nettie.
"Nice to see you." Aunt Nettie murmured as she hugged her back. "McGee, why don't you give Nettie a tour of the building?" Gibbs said gruffly. McGee's eyes bulged and Aunt Nettie raised her eyebrows. "Sure." Aunt Nettie agreed and McGee nervously nodded his head. "S-sure." McGee gradually made way out of the bull pen. "Now what were you saying?" Jenny asked. Ziva looked around the bull pen, "Somewhere more private." They all walked up the stairs to Jenny's office where they all stood a few weeks ago. "Better?" Jenny asked and Ziva nodded, "Course." She started fiddling with her thumbs as Jenny and Gibbs watched her. "You gonna speak?" Gibbs asked and Ziva looked up at him. "I'm Pregnant." She murmured. "Yeah, course. We know we were here about a week ago." Jenny said but Ziva shook her head, "Really."
Jenny and Gibbs looked at each other before both doubling over laughing, "Oh Please!" Jenny breathed as she wiped a tear from her face. Ziva and Tony both looked at each other before looking back at the other two. Gibbs looked at them and saw the serious looks on their face, Tony gently stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out his wallet, he pulled out a folded piece of paper. He unfolded it before setting it down on Jenny's desk. Jenny stopped laughing long enough to look at the photo. "What is this?" she asked as she lightly touched the ultrasound. "I think DiNozzo got David Pregnant, and now she's trying to say she's pregnant." Gibbs said slowly and Ziva couldn't bear to even look at him. "Are you serious, Ziva?" Jenny asked shocked, and Ziva simply nodded.
"Ziver?" Gibbs said hesitantly, and Ziva slowly looked up at him. "I am... pregnant." She confirmed. Gibbs glared over at Tony was painfully rubbing his neck. "DiNozzo, my office now." He growled before leaving the room and Tony shortly followed after. Jenny looked Ziva over before placing her hand on Ziva's shoulder. "I'm sorry." Ziva murmured. "It's not your fault." Ziva smirked over at her, "It take two to tango." Jenny quietly giggled. "Point Taken."
Tony's POV
I was scared as Gibbs's nearly dragged me into the elevator. When elevator started to move he slammed the button down, hard and I was afraid it wouldn't come back up. He leaned up against the wall and cocked his head at me, "You have to do certain things to get that boss." Gibbs mocked and I drug my hands over my face. "I-I, it was Ziva's idea boss." Gibbs smacked the back of my head, hard. "You said that last time." He hissed. "I know, it's just, it was the spur of the moment and things were, I was-." I stammered. "And now you have a baby on the way." Gibbs finished for me. "Yeah." I sighed. "So, you two are having a baby, and you're not married, you're living a lie, and-." I held my hand up, "I know, I know. " I emphasized as I cut him off. "So what are you gonna do?" he asked me and I leaned over and whispered something in his ear. He raised his eyebrows at me, "You know I have a rule against that." I nodded, "I know, but I wanna do it." He observed me for a second before flipping the switch. As it started to go back up he slapped my head again, "What was that for?" I requested and he smirked, "That's for 9 months of ass kicking. 13 months of maternity leave. And, I can't hit children." I had to ponder the thought for a second before I got it, "So I'll be getting all of Ziva's head slaps?" Gibbs grinned.
Tony, Gibbs, Jenny and Ziva all met in the bull pen where there was an awkward silence between them all. "Oh, here." Jenny said and handed him back the photo. "Thanks." Abby bounded into the bull pen, "Hey! I heard the DiNozzo's were here!" she said excitedly. "Hey, Abby." Ziva said quietly. Abby hugged Ziva tightly, "Hey, where's the stomach?" Abby asked. "Oh, um, I kinda don't need it anymore." Ziva explained as she slowly back away. "You tell your family the truth?" Ziva shook her head, "No, um. I don't need it because…I'm pregnant." At first everybody thought Abby didn't hear it but she slowly turned to Tony and glared at him. "Is this a joke?" she hissed, Tony rubbed his neck, "Um, no." There was a long pause as Abby looked between them both, then she nearly jumped on Tony.
"I'm so happy for you!" she exclaimed. Tony raised his eyebrows but hugged her back. Abby quickly released her own self before turning to Ziva. "Ziva." She said cautiously. Abby opened her arms, "Come here." She gestured and she slowly welcomed Ziva into her arms, and hugged her loosely. "So are you getting married now?" Both Ziva and Tony's smiles dropped. "Um-." "Ziva, this building seems quite similar to the one in Israel." Aunt Nettie said as she and McGee walked into the bullpen and Ziva quickly detached herself from Abby. "Sure Aunt Nettie." Ziva agreed, and Abby eyed her cautiously. "Well, Ziva can stay down in the lab with me. If she can't go in the field." Abby suggested. "Are there chemicals in this lab?" Aunt Nettie asked. "Um, there are a few-." Aunt Nettie shook her head, "No. No. Chemicals can harm the baby tremendously." Ziva opened her mouth to say something when Tony gently pushed her down in her chair, "Your fault." He teased into her ear quietly, and she pinched the skin by his thumb that was resting on her shoulder. "Bite the hell me." She growled to him.
Gibbs's phone rang and he picked up the receiver and said a few words before hanging. "DiNozzo, the first one." He said and you could hear the sarcasm in his voice as Ziva grabbed the handle of her bag. "Whatever." She mumbled as she sat back down. "See you later, Sweet cheeks." Tony said as he lightly kissed her before leaving with Gibbs and McGee into the elevator. Jenny and Abby raised their eyebrows at her before she rolled her eyes at them before turning her computer on and finishing up one of her reports. They both returned to their area of work when Aunt Nettie pulled a chair up behind her and read a book glancing at her cautiously.
The day went by slowly for the rest of them, the case was a no hitter and they had absolutely no suspects. Jenny thought that maybe if she let them sleep on it they could think of it, so Tony took Ziva and Aunt Nettie home and again with the silence which was driving him crazy, so he hit the button to the radio and classical music spilled out. "What the hell is this?" he asked. "Oh, while you were gone, I went didn't think the music you were listening to was appropriate for the baby." Aunt Nettie explained, and Tony sighed loudly. "And classical music is much better than that non-sense you were listening to." He looked over at Ziva who was fast asleep with her head leaning against the window. "It was Alicia Keys." Tony muttered under his breath.
He slammed the car to a stop as the car pulled into the driveway. Aunt Nettie climbed out of the car and walked into the house, while Tony lightly tapped Ziva's shoulder. "Ziva, come on we're here." He said gently and Ziva groaned. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Well, yeah. I'm pretty sure this is your apartment." When Ziva didn't move Tony got out and slowly opened her door and gradually picked her up and carried her inside. He set her down on the couch and laid her head down on a pillow and took the blanket off the couch and covered her. "Just to let you know." He whispered in her ear, "Your Aunt is never riding with us ever again. Turned my Alicia Keys off." Ziva wearily smiled, "Of course my little furry bear." Before long, Tony could tell that by her breathing she was fast asleep. "Hey, um, I'm going out for something." Tony told Rivka before grabbing his keys and quickly exited out.
"Genesis." Aunt Nettie breathed as she walked out of the nursery. "What?" Rivka asked as she looked up from that night's dinner. "They are going to name the child Aimee Genesis." "Is that a problem?" Rivka asked and Aunt Nettie shook her head, "Now I know what to personalize."
It wasn't until two-and-a-half hours later that Tony returned, to find no one in this house and he suddenly got a funny feeling in his stomach. "Betty Mae?" he called out and when nobody answered he checked the door; 27 D. Nope it was the right place, he saw the door to Aimee's nursery was closed shut, so he gingerly pushed it open. Ziva was leaning against the crib lightly pushing the mobile along with her fingertips. She looked up at him, "Hey." She whispered quietly. "Picked it out myself." Tony said taking a step forward.
"It's pretty. I think she would like it." She murmured. "So, where's your Aunt?" Tony asked as he leaned beside her. "They went out to personalize stuff." Tony nodded, "Course they did." They were both quiet for a second before Tony tapped the ring on her finger, "See, you still have it on." Ziva nodded, "Not to blow our cover." "Well, how about me nail that cover down?" Tony asked and Ziva furrowed her eyebrows at him. "What?" Tony bent down on one knee. "We have a little bambino coming into this world soon, and I don't want to have it being shifted from your place to mine. I love you too much to have that happen, so will you marry me? For real?"
