You Can't Count Your Extra Activities:

"Ummmm," Doctor Channing chuckled, "No, that's just the feet." She explained and Ziva began laughing, "I think." Ziva abruptly stopped laughing, "You're joking." She said and Doctor Channing scrolled over her stomach again, "No, but let's try the Doppler." She said as she set down the wand and picked up part of the Doppler. "Um, let's have a hear see."

A loud, familiar thumping entered the room once again and brought back Ziva's grin, "See one heartbeat." She told him and kissed him lightly, "But can't both babies be like behind each other?" Tony said arrogantly and Ziva hit him lightly, "Shut up," she growled, "Actually, he is right." She ran her hands over her face and sighed, "Is there like some kind of test or something, do get him to shut up?"

"There is one that I was going to have you do today, that can possibly help," Doctor Channing explained as Ziva sat up. "It's called AFP, and basically it tells us if your baby has any health problems." Ziva nodded as Tony handed her a paper towel and rubbed off the gel and tossed it into the trashcan. "So, let me go get that set up and I'll be right back." She said before she left leaving Ziva and Tony alone.

"If it is twins I will kill you." Tony chuckled, "Well, I mean I thought I saw 3 sets of hands or maybe 4?" he teased and Ziva hit him again, "I do not care; twins, triplets, whatever. If that is true it's gonna be a long 5 months." Tony stood up and gently began massaging her shoulders, "Relax sweet cheeks. If it's 2 or 6 more, I'll still love you no matter how big you get." Ziva moaned and leaned into his touch, "I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about my Aunt. If it is multiplies we won't tell anybody until later, the last thing we need is for my Aunt to get us another baby." "You're probably right." Tony said as he rested his chin on her head. Doctor Channing walked in and set some needles down on a table.

"So have you guys set a date yet?" She asked as she wiped Ziva's arm with an alcohol swab.

"Yeah, March 20th."

"Because it's Tony's favorite holiday."

"Do you have to tell everybody that?" Tony asked and Ziva grinned up at him, "Haven't you heard? Sensitive Men are the new sexy." Doctor Channing smiled at the two of them before she picked up the needle, "Hey, Meg," Tony said uncertainly and she looked up at him, "We were just wondering, if you and your family would like to come…to the wedding?" Dr. Channing smiled, "We'd love too." "And could we borrow your two boys, we kinda sorda need a ring bearer." Dr. Channing nodded again, "They always like to have fun,"

"Knowing Abby, it probably will be fun." Tony said and glanced down at Ziva who had snuggled closer into his embrace and was trying to keep her eyes open. "Better do it now." He murmured to the doctor and she smiled gently before she stuck Ziva with the needle. Tony glanced down at Ziva who didn't move a muscle, she placed a small bandage on top of the puncture mark, "The results should be back in about 3 or 4 days, but pictures for you, and I will see you at the wedding." Tony nodded before Dr. Channing helped him with the door, Maddie, and Ziva before she waved good-bye to him. He wrapped his arm tighter around Ziva's waist and grasped the handle of the carrier before Ziva started to stir. "Ssshh, sweet cheeks." Tony whispered as he helped her into the car.

He set Maddie down on the base and Ziva groggily slid in next to her. "Where are we going?" she asked as she sat up. "I don't know where do you wanna go?" he asked as he sat on the edge of the seat next to her. "Well, I think I kinda promised Abby pictures this time." Ziva said as she rested her head on Tony's shoulder. "You think?" Ziva chuckled, "I think that was the time she gave me a Caf-Pow."

"Right…um, I don't think it's a good time to go now." Ziva sat up and smirked at him, "Why?" "No reason, just you know…stuff." "Now, we are defiantly going. Start the car." She ordered and he hesitated before he obeyed.

A few minutes later Tony glanced back at Ziva who was playing with Maddie, "You sure you don't wanna know?" he asked and Ziva looked up at him, "How about I make you a deal." She started and Tony straightened up in his seat to look at her, "I'm listening." "I'll keep a surprise from you. And you keep a surprise from me." He sent her a DiNozzo smile, "And what is your surprise?"

"You'll see."

Abby was already waiting for them bouncing up and down in excitement. "Abby calm down." McGee said as he sat down at his desk. "Timmy, I can't wait! I mean Ziva like promised me pictures!" Abby screeched just as the doors to the elevator slide open. "Ziva!" Abby shouted as they both stepped out of the elevator. Abby ran over and hugged her (loosely) and Ziva grinned, "Hello Abby," "Well, what'd you do?" Abby asked excitedly and Ziva tilted her head to the side, "Did what?" she asked innocently as Tony walked past them and set the carrier on top of his desk.

"Pictures. You promised." Ziva furrowed her eyebrows together, "What pictures?" "Ziva, pictures." Abby growled before Ziva grinned and pulled a set of photos from her bag and then handed them to Abby. Abby squealed as she looked over the photos. "Wait, what's that?" Abby asked cautiously as she pointed at something on the ultrasound. Ziva glanced at where her hand was before she rolled her tongue on the inside of her mouth, "Probably just some dust or a blotch." Abby brushed her fingers against the picture, "No…it looks more like a hand or a foot or something."

"No, I do not think-." "Just say its twins already!" Tony shouted and Ziva shot him a glare. "Two? Two babies?" Abby asked. "Well we-." "Yay! Yay!" Abby shouted as she pulled Ziva into another hug jumping up and down, "You just can't tell my Aunt, trust me, one baby is…" Ziva stopped short when a very attractive woman walked in, she was very…blonde.

She was slim, and had very bright highlights. Ziva raised her eyebrows at Tony who started whistling glancing around the office, "And who is this?" I asked kindly mainly in Tony's direction. "Oh, um, Ziva this is Ashley, she just got here last night, she's like an intern or something. She'll be here while you have the baby and then she'll return to Criger's Team." Abby explained as Ashley walked over to them. "Hi, I'm Ashley Santiago." Ziva smiled meekly before she shook her hand, "So you're from Agent Criger's Team?" Ashley nodded, "Yes, but for the next couple of months, being like an intern, I guess." Ziva nodded again before she whispered to Abby, "Are you sure she belongs here and not at a Victoria Secret Fashion Show?"

Abby giggled before she shook her head understanding what she meant. Ashley was not necessarily dressed for NCIS work. Her hair was cascading down her shoulders and she was wearing a Black Camisole, Matching Leather Jacket, and blue jeans, along with boots stopping at her ankles. "Um, so Tony has told me a lot about you." "Oh really?" Ziva said, dragging out her words as she glared over at Tony. Ashley looked over at Tony who was keeping his eyes are as far away as he could away from Ziva's, was attempting to keep Maddie quiet.

"Maddie!" Abby shrieked as she hurried over and scooped the teary eyed infant into her arms, "Hush Mad dog." Maddie stared up at Abby before she started babbling to her. "Tony," Ziva said and turned to his direction, only to find an empty space next to Abby. "So Ziva how's-?" Ashley stopped when she saw Zivastorming in the direction of the men's bathroom. "Where's she going?" "Oh, Men's Bathroom." Abby said with a shrug and Ashley furrowed her eyebrows at her, "You'll get use to it."

Ziva's POV

I quietly locked the bathroom door behind me as I turned to face Tony, "You know," he started, "It's called the men's bathroom for a reason." I rolled my eyes, "You could have told me," I spat. "Tell you what sweet cheeks?" I stepped closer to him, "That she was blonde." He bit his lip, "Well, I mean, I just met her last night." "You could have told me last night." "Well, you were kind of on top of me." I faked a laugh, "Ha-Ha very funny." He turned me so that my back faced the mirror, "Look, I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking." "No, you never are." I teased and he grinned down at me.

"So, now what?" He asked and I smirked, "Well, your wish might not be fully granted but…" I trailed off hoping he would catch on, "Ah my ninja," He whispered as he lifted me up onto the counter. "Truth be told, I never was one for blondes." I giggled softly before I took his chin and lightly kissed his lips, "Oh, you're funny." Tony said huskily before he pulled me tighter and kissed me softly. I grinned as he caressed my sides, "Tony," I murmured against his lips, "You will not be getting very far…." "Why is that sweet cheeks?"

I pulled away, "Because, you forgot to tell me Tim was in here."

Tony spun around where McGee was looking at us both, afraid to move, "God." Tony muttered. "Tim," I murmured as I scooted down, McGee held up a hand, "You what, I really don't wanna know." He said before he unlocked the door and walked out,

"Damn, Probie got balls."

Tony and I walked out shortly after McGee did and Abby handed Maddie back to Tony, "Hey Abby, could I see you for a second?" Abby nodded and we both moved over to the side, "Could you…watch Maddie for night?" I asked cautiously and Abby grinned, "Of course! I'd like love too!" "Great." "Wait…why?" Ziva smirked, "I have a little surprise for Tony." "Alright, just make sure not to hurt him too bad. Last thing we need is a smile permanently plastered on his face."

"So, um, how would this work?" Ashley asked once I had returned. "You know where everything is correct?" Ashley nodded, "Did Tony update you on the case?" She nodded again. "Well, update me." Ashley rocked back on her heels, "The victim, Joey Simon was found dead in his home." "Who found the body?" "Um, his wife, Ciara, they have a little girl named Aviva. She'll be 6 in May." She handed me a picture and I nodded, "Suspects?" "Um, just his boss Connor Richards." Ashley explained. "Why is he a suspect?" "Mr. Simon was sleeping with his boss's wife." I let out a whistle, "That would one reason for a suspect." "Did you bring him in?" "Yeah, he's in Interrogation 2, David," Gibbs said as he tossed me a folder, "You'll be interviewing him."

I grinned, Gibbs hadn't let me do that in a while, so I was eager to start, Gibbs probably saw my eagerness and he lightly grabbed my arm, "Be careful." He warned. "Now you've got more than one agent to worry about." I teased before I made my way over to Interrogation. I stepped inside and the guy, Conner Richards, glanced up at me, I took a seat beside him and studied him before I started. He was bald on top but had sandy brown hair growing on the sides, his eyes were an Amber color that made me have goose bumps, "You done checking me out?" He sneered and I scoffed, "Please." He leaned on the table, "Tell doll face, when am I leaving?" I shrugged as I flipped through his file, "Oh about, 75, 90," I could see him smile, "Years." His smile dropped, "Bitch" He muttered under his breath, "So it seems that you have a wife? Married for 13 years? That's a long time." He nodded, "Course." "But no children?" His head snapped up and he glared at him, "Problems conceiving?" I could see his blood blowing under his skin which made me even happier, this scum did it, and all I need is a confession.

"We didn't have any problems, my wife just thought it wasn't a very good idea." He growled as I stood up and slowly walked around. "Or maybe, she just wanted her child to have a different face?" He started rubbing his fingers together signaling he was about to break, "A lot of ladies don't have a problem with my face." "Your mother?" I whispered in his ear. "Trust me baby cakes, if I could name all the women I met at the bar who wanted me to father their child, we'd be here a while." He scorned. "So you admit to being adultery, but not a murder? Hmmm, interesting, it must be a good thing, you might think little Connor Jr. wouldn't like talking to his daddy over a prison phone, or better yet, never." I whispered and then he snapped! He spun around to face me glaring, "Look," he hissed, "That bastard Joey, whatever, wants to date my wife almost 6 years back, you'd think I wouldn't have a problem with that, but when you learn that your girlfriend got pregnant from some low-life that was one of your workers, yeah I'd be pretty mad."

I rolled my eyes, "I have seen their daughter and she is much too pretty to be your daughter." He stepped closer to my face, "She could have at least done a DNA test." He hissed and glanced down at me. I hoped he couldn't tell I was pregnant, but I done a pretty good job, a simple, baggy, black and white shirt and matching pants normally worked, but this guy was creeper than expected. "Have a seat." I growled back probably as my maternal instincts kicked in, he obeyed reluctantly and I took my place again across from the scum. "Look, I'll make you a deal. I'll admit I killed Simon if you give me your baby."

I was confused at first but put on a smug grin on my face before I let, "I already know who did it." Purr out of my lips. He looked at me for the longest time before he smacked the table with his fist, "Have fun in prison." I murmured before I got and walked to the door. "Wait!" He said suddenly, I turned around to find him standing and a devilish smile on his face, "I gave you my part of the deal, by mistake, but, now you have to give yours." He lunged at me with a knife drawn and I could hear Tony yell through the glass, the knife lightly grazed my arm before I got in a few punches, before his fist came in contact with my nose. "Ziva!" Tony yelled as he tore into the room. Gibbs grabbed the guy and pinned him back and Tony wrapped me in his arms. "You should have let me finish, I would have saved a whole judge and Jury some time." I growled as I tried to glare at him but the tears on my eyes were making it hard.

Tony took me into hallway, "Are you okay?" he asked and I shook my head, "That…that…thing, he…can't have fathered such a beautiful little girl could he?" He wiped some of the tears and blood from my cheeks, "Come on, let's get you cleaned up." He said before he led me down the hallway, he let me go into the bathroom alone where I washed my face off and see the damage down to my nose. "Hey," Tony said as he walked in, "I just wanted to make sure you were okay, and to give you these." He said as he handed me a change of clothes. "Tony, tell me, please. Did he father Aviva?" He sighed, "Why do you care so much?" "Because, Tony, one way or another, she does not have a proper father. One is dead, one is…a monster. Technically, our baby is spoiled because it has such a wonderful father like you." He smiled gently, "Aviva doesn't belong to him." I sighed, "But she doesn't belong to Joey either." He finished.

He took my hand and led me out into the squad room; we stood at the back as I heard the elevator ding and a very attractive man stepped out. I could see what I thought was Mrs. Simon at the other end with Aviva. "Daddy!" she shouted as she ran into his own arms. Tears were streaming down his own cheeks on she tried to bury herself in him. He kissed her head over and over, "Avi, Avi," I heard him whisper and I glanced over at her mother who still hadn't moved, she may have been shocked. The guy stood up, still with Aviva in his arms, and Ciara slowly walked over to him, "He-he said-." she whimpered and he kissed her forehead. "I'm here now." He said before she hugged him. "Turns out," Tony whispered. "Joey, was the stick-in Daddy, Mr. Richards, originally set out to kill Jonah Woods, but Ciara diverted him by saying Aviva was his to keep him from harming her true love." He wrapped his arms around me, "When she born and she didn't have his eyes, he said he had already killed him. Connor assumed that since she was married to Joey, the baby was his and killed him, sleeping with his wife was just an added bonus." I turned around and gave him a confused look, "I know, this was a very confusing case. To put it in normal terms, the guy is crazy."

"Ziver," Gibbs said as he walked over to us. He looked over my face before he called Ducky up; I sat on Tim's desk as he checked my nose. "It seems his nail just cut the inside of your nose, otherwise everything seems fine. Just place an ice pack on it when you get home and all will be well." I shook my head, "I'm not going home." "Yes, you are, Ziver. I'll make sure Ashley stays with you." "I am not a child Gibbs." He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him, "I am not going anywhere." I explained fiercely, "Right Tony?"

"Sweet cheeks…." I let out a sigh, "I'll remember that." I said as I dragged my fingers against his chest before I set off to the bathroom to change.

It took only 10 minutes to change and 25 to get home, (hiding people's keys is much more fun that it use to be.) Tony kissed me on the side of my head before he dropped Ashley and I off. "Make yourself comfortable." I said as I tossed my purse down on a chair. "This is a nice place," Ashley commented. "Thank You." She was particularly quiet after that and I decided to leave her be, I took a long shower and by long I mean longer than I expected.

I changed into one of Tony's shirts and shorts, and sat on the end of my bed and sighed, "If there are two of you then daddy will be in major trouble." I murmured to them before there was a soft knock at the door. I got up and opened the door, Ashley was standing in front of me, "Um, who were you talking too?" she asked and I gave her a little smile. "My baby." I said quietly and she smiled back. "So you are having a baby?" I nodded as I walked into the living room. "Do you have any children?" I asked and she shook her head, "No," "Boyfriend?" She shook her head, now thatwas surprising. I leaned against the bar, "Tell me about you then, because trust me, you will be here awhile."

"Um, I was born in Connecticut, with 5 other siblings, I moved here after I graduated from high school to go to Stratford." I raised my eyebrows but didn't say anything, "What's the baby's name?" "Aimee Genesis." She smiled, "It's a very pretty name." "Thanks." I said before the door started to open, I was hoping for who I thought it was. "Hey Ziv, how's…" Matt stopped short as he looked over at Ashley. "Hi." Matt said meekly and Ashley waved back doing the same. "You're in my English class aren't you?" Matt nodded, "And you're Math, and your Chemistry, basically almost all your classes." I grinned as I watched my brother struggle with a very pretty girl. "So what are you doing here?" "Oh um, I kinda work with your sister." Matt glanced at me, "Well, she never mentioned you." "I just got there yesterday." Ashley said as she shrugged off her jacket, I tried to contain my laughter as Matthew started getting nervous. I needed to get out of there fast, "Hey, uh, guys I'm gonna go lay down for a few minutes." I said before I zigzagged into my bedroom.

I pressed my ear to the door, "So, uh, you're a cardinal?" Matt asked and I could hear a chair scoot out, "Yeah, I guess." "So, uh, how'd you find Stratford?" I sighed and pulled away from the door, I thought teenagers were supposed to have interesting conversations, "Hey, have you ever heard of the Black Eyed Peas?" Matt asked hopefully. "Yeah, who hasn't?" Matt laughed, "Hey, look I got these tickets for tonight at one of their concerts, you wanna come with?" "You bet!" I fell back on to the bed gently, "Ahhhh, my work here is done."

Tony quietly walked into his dark and particularly silent house. "Ashley?" he whispered as he set his stuff down. "Aye, Santiago! Now is not the time for games." He whispered again before he pushed the door open to his bedroom. There sleeping quietly with her legs sprawled beneath her and a book on multiples beside her was his fiancé. He shrugged off his shoes, socks, pants, and shirt before she carefully climbed onto the bed, and Ziva slowly sat up. "Hey, I didn't wanna wake you." He murmured and she shook her head. "I was trying to wait up for you." "Why?" She grabbed the end of his tie and pulled him to hover over her, "Because, haven't you noticed?" Tony glanced around, "What?" She pressed a finger against his lips, "There's no one here; No Maddie, No Mom, No Brother, and especially no Aunt." "You didn't kill them did you?" She shook her head, "Mom is staying at a spa or something, Maddie is with Abby for night, my Aunt is with Ducky, and Matt is with Ashley." Tony raised his eyebrows, "Your brother with super-hot Ashley?" Ziva folded her arms across her chest, "I mean super-hot for him." "Mm-hmmm sure. Now, let me make up for my Aunt." She said before she tugged on his tie more before she found her destination.

Ziva laughed as Tony licked her own lips, "Teasing is the most fun for you, yes?" Tony grinned before he climbed off her, "I was just kidding." Ziva called. "I know, I just have to take this precaution." Tony said before he slammed the door shut

Ziva woke up the next morning and after finding Tony's spot in the empty and the shower running, she started grinning at last night's 'extracurricular' activities. The phone on the dresser started ringing so she sat up and quickly grabbed the phone, "Hello? Oh, Hi Doctor Channing," heard the door open and Tony glided out of the bathroom, "Alright, I will tell him." Ziva said before she hung up the phone, "Tell me what?" Tony asked ,

"You cannot count."
