All right, I decided to cut you guys a break, so here's another chapter.

It's Time To Change Chapters:

"So, how long do you think it'll be until we're out of here?" Ziva asked as she climbed onto the couch/bed next to Tony. "Well, while you were asleep, I kinda sold the apartment." He admitted and Ziva gawked at him, "How long was I asleep!" she hissed before Tony cupped her mouth. "Hush, you don't wanna wake Maddie do you?" Ziva shook her hand and he removed his hand, "Remember in like in January or whatever, I kept showing you like furnishing magazines?" Ziva playfully glared at him, "Yes." "Well, I kinda wanted it to be a surprise. So I had to get your opinion somehow."

Ziva rolled her eyes, "Just make me a deal." Tony pleaded. "What?" "Promise me, you won't get in the way?" "What's that supposed to mean!" Tony covered her mouth again, "What I mean," Tony hissed. "Is you stay back and watch." He breathed and removed his hand. "Okay, alright. Just don't do that again." He nodded, "Promise?" He said as he held out his hand. She placed hers with his, "Promise."


2 weeks later...

"Ziva." Tony called and she turned around, a large box resting on her hip. "What?" He walked over to her and she smirked at him, "Didn't we agree, like Two weeks ago, that you wouldn't help?" Ziva sighed, "And you thought I was listening? Please!" Tony attempted to grab the box from her but she held on tight, "Ziva." Tony moaned and Ziva smiled, "Getting angry Tony?" He sighed, "I've learned my lesson before; not to argue with a pregnant woman, but Zi, Pregnant Women Don't Move Anything but Themselves." Ziva chuckled, "Funny, but no. Tony, I cannot just sit back, while you men do not put the stuff in right, place and I can tell you something is going to break." "Ziver." Gibbs coughed. She glanced back at him and he nodded, "Hey Ziva, why don't you come and help and me with all these baby clothes?" Jenny called from the door way.

Ziva glared at Tony before she handed him the box before striding into the house. Tony exhaled, "Thanks boss, I don't know what I would have done." "It wasn't for you DiNozzo, I don't think the new tenants would like having blood in their driveway."


"Why are men so insensitive?" Ziva huffed angrily. "Hurtful." Matt defended as he walked by with a box. "Oh, just shut up and go kiss your girlfriend!" Ziva hissed. Matt mocked a laugh before he slid out, "Wow somebody's in a great mood this morning." Jen teased as she handed Ziva an outfit. "Tony woke me up at Four-Thirty this morning." Ziva snarled and Abby laughed, "No wonder." The three women finished packing up the baby clothes and handed them off to the men who filled the last of the truck, "Hey. Aren't we missing your Mom and Aunt?" Abby asked as they set the last of what wouldn't fit into the truck into the back of their car.

"They, are already at the house with the other movers." Ziva explained as she shut the trunk. "Hey, would you guys mind if I had one last look around?" she asked and they all shook their head. She slowly walked into her old apartment and walked over to where the couch used to be, then over to kitchen and laughed quietly to herself when she saw the dent in the floor where the knife she had thrown a few months back, left a mark.

She strode into her old bedroom and reached on her tippy-toes onto the top shelf of the closet and pulled down her 'lynx.' "I'm gonna miss this place." She murmured to her baby. "But, this place is an old chapter and you are a new one." A small little kick hit Ziva's hand after she finished, causing her to smile, "I'm glad you agree with me."

She gave her stuffed animal a final squeeze before she flipped all the lights off and shut the door.


"Do you plan to tie me up Tony?" Ziva asked as she held up a long piece of rope. "No, it's a surprise sweet cheeks." Ziva placed her hands on her hips, "You know," she said annoyed. "I am really starting to hate these surprises." Tony came behind her and placed his firm, and strong hands on her shoulders and gently kneaded them. "Okay, how about I give you a hint?" Ziva nodded as she melted into his touch, "You'll be craving a lot of chocolate."

Ziva grinned before she turned to look at him, "Chocolate, huh?" He bobbed his head in agreement. Ziva inclined up to him until her lips finally met his, he brought his hand to run through her hair before she pulled away, "You feel that?" she whispered and bit her bottom lip, "Feel what?" Another set of kicks started again, and Tony smiled gently, "That's because she's my little ninja baby." Ziva glared at him playfully before Gibbs smacked the back of Tony's head. "Get back to work DiNozzo, the male one." Tony raised his hand, "Hey, which one?" Gibbs raised his eyebrow, "Thought that couldn't be proven yet?" Tony chuckled before he went over to help him.


"Ziva-leh, which way do you want this crib to go?" Her Aunt asked. "Um…" Ziva answered, looking at either wall. "Ziva, will you please hurry up." McGee strained as he and Jimmy tried to hold up the crib. "The…left side." She finally replied and McGee and Jimmy sighed before they set it down in corner. "Hey, where's the pretty letters?" Abby asked and Ziva shrugged, "They are useless if we do not know what the baby is."

Abby shook her head, "That's not what I was getting at." She opened one of the boxes and pulled out a group of letters.

She layed them all out on the floor, 'B A B Y D I N O Z ZO' she spelled across the floor and looked up at Ziva who shrugged, "It can always be changed." She said casually as she helped Abby and Jenny hang them on the wall. "You what," McGee hissed as he and Palmer dragged in the bookshelf, "You guys got way too much crap."

"Yeah, well, probie. This crap cost me a lot of money." Tony said as he walked into the nursery, "Aunt Nettie, Ima, you sure had a lot of time to put all this together." Ziva said and both women nodded. "Anything for you." Ziva grinned as Tony handed her the lynx. "You kinda left it in the car." She pecked his cheek, "Thank You. Now come on! Let's finish!" Ziva shouted suddenly becoming very excited. "Come on!" she cried again before she rushed out to encourage the movers, "Abby," everybody seem to say and she looked up at them with puppy dog eyes, "Look, I didn't do what you think I did." Tony crossed his arms, "Abs,"

"Okay, I just gave her like a sniff, but it's not like I gave her the whole thing."

Tony ran his hands over his face, "Great, I have a high energy, mood-swinging, emotional pregnant woman with me and I'm moving into a seven thousand square foot house. Did I break a mirror?" he muttered to himself. "Actually," her Aunt said, "I think the movers broke one of mirrors that belongs in the bathroom." "Thanks." He mumbled. Before he heard the doorbell ring,"I'll get it." Ziva shouted from downstairs before Tony and Abby hurried down the stairs. By the time they had both gotten to her, Tony snaked his arm around her waist, "Don't need to make a bad impression." He whispered as she opened the door, A man and woman both in their early thirties stood in front of them. The man had auburn colored hair that was shaggy and dropped into his hazel eyes, his skin was tanned. The woman on the other hand had lighter skin and piercing bright blue eyes, "Hi, I'm Jasper and this is my wife Zoe. We noticed you guys and decided to say Hello." Tony and Ziva nodded, "Hi, I'm Tony and this Ziva my fiancée." Both men nodded and shook hands, "It's nice to meet you guys!" Ziva said cheerfully.

"So," Ziva said as she gestured them inside. "What do you think of the neighborhood?" she asked Violet as both men left for the backyard, "It's nice, very quiet. You'll get to know everybody; we're all nice and try to help everybody out." Ziva nodded, "That's good to know but…you have met Tony before haven't you?" Violet nodded with a guilty smile on her face, "We met about a month ago when the realtor was showing him the house. He and Jasp, kinda bonded I guess over some James Bond movie." Ziva laughed. "Course." Zoe took a seat by the kitchen bar as Ziva poured herself a glass of water, "So, when are you due?"

"July 28th." Ziva replied before she took a sip.

"Can I get you something?" Violet shook her head.

"Boy or Girl?" Ziva smirked, "Tony won't tell me yet."

"Trust me a surprise is worth the wait." "You have children?" Zoe nodded, "We have a Seven Year Old, named Hunter, and a Four Year old twins named Carly and Alexa." Ziva grinned, "Three? Tony wants to have Six, that is one of the reasons he bought this house." Zoe chuckled. "Actually…it more like four." She said cautiously. Ziva stopped, with the cup in mid-air, "You haven't told him yet?" Zoe shook her head, "I couldn't think of a way how." She smirked before she reached into newly stocked fridge (courtesy of her mother and Aunt) and pulled out a can of cinnamon rolls. "One way to a man's brain is?" Ziva started, "His stomach."


"Hey Zi," Tony called as he and Jasper re-entered the house. The women were nowhere to be seen but there were two envelopes lying on the counter, one was marked, 'Jasper.' And the other was, 'Tony.' Both men hesitantly picked them but stopped when they sniffed the air, "You smell that?" Jasper asked and Tony nodded. "Smells like…" They both opened the oven and lying on the center rack was a raw cinnamon bun. "What?" Jasper asked, confusion running through his head.

"Maybe we should open the letters and it'll make more sense." Tony suggested and he agreed. They both tore open the envelopes and pulled out the letters. Both were hand written and completely different. "Jasper," he started reading aloud. "I expect you to find the little treat we left you in oven, and I know you probably don't understand, but baby…we got a bun in the oven!" He finished, his face, losing all color.

"Wait, Wait," Tony said anxiously as he tried to read mine, "Let's see if Ziva's agreeing to have more kids." He fumbled with the letter as he started to read, "Tony, make sure Jasper doesn't faint. Ziva." He set the letter down and turned around where the two women were leaning against the bar, their cheeks, leaning on top of their fists smirking at them both, "Jasp," Violet murmured. "Are you okay; you look like you lost five shades of color?"

Jasper nodded before he squawked, "This a joke?" Zoe shook her head, "Nope." He hugged her tightly and kissed her head, "You're evil, you know?" Jasper said through laughs and she nodded. "It's fun to have surprises." "See! I say the same thing but Ziva won't believe me." Tony piped in and they all couldn't help but laugh. "Hey Tony, why don't you go show Ziva what we made for her?" Ziva raised her eyebrows, "What did you make me?" Tony grabbed her hand, "You'll-." He stopped when Ziva glared at him. "Just come on." He said before he dragged her outside. "When I was little, I lived one this huge acre with all these trees and I remember there was this one tree that me and my mom use to go to all the time." "Why?" He stopped as the came in to be in front of a simple swing.

They had used the rope from the car to tie on the tree and a plank of wood as the seat, "But you know, it's no fun by yourself." He suggested before he glanced down at Ziva who had tears dripping down off her cheeks, "Hey, why are you crying?" Tony asked as he pulled her into his arms. "I have no idea!" she sobbed and he chuckled, "You want another hint?" he asked in an attempt to cheer her up. She shook her head, "No, because I want…whatever is given to me." Tony rested his chin on top of her head, "Something tells me that you'll like this surprise."


"Aaahhh." Ziva hummed as she sunk in her warm, bubbly, bath. The baby started 'tapping a drum beat' as Tony would say as the warm water ran over her body. "You will just not let me have this calming spree will you?" When another kick touched her hand she took that as a no, and sighed before she started to recall where everything was before she forgot. They hadn't finished everything today like the kitchen, and some of the bed and bathrooms. The nursery wasn't completely done; the crib, the bookshelf, and the ottoman had been placed around the room like before.

But they had to place Gibbs's handmade dresser somewhere to tie it all in, in the end all they had to, for that room, was paint it a color they agreed on.

She soaked in the hot tub style tub for a little while longer, (more the 45 minutes longer) before she wrapped a towel around herself and climbed out. She left her hair down because she knew he liked her hair that way, she borrowed one of Tony's shirts from his suitcase and loose lounging shorts before she walked downstairs. Her mother was washing the dishes and her Aunt was reading a book, while watching Maddie play in the playpen. She loved the living room, it all fit together. The gray steel sofa and brown cushions go with the coffee table that Tony had his feet resting on. The Plasma TV hung on the wall across from the couch and Tony's movies were scattered everywhere on the floor below, because he was waiting to put the shelves on tomorrow. "Hi." She murmured as she snuggled into him, he draped his arm tight around her, "Hey, how was your bath?" She shrugged, "Relaxing, but you should have joined me." Her voice dropped to whisper and he grinned, he kissed her damp head.

Ziva glanced over at Matt and Ashley who were lounging on the 'love seat' as Tony wasn't allowed to call it anything else. Both twenty year olds looked as if they were about to fall asleep, Ashley had wrapped her arms tightly around Matt's chest and tucked her feet up under her. "Twenty Bucks says she's knocked up by next year." Ziva laughed, "I'll take that bet." Aunt Nettie sighed annoyed as she set the book down, "What is wrong Aunt Nettie?" Ziva asked.

"This book, I have been reading it for the past one hundred and fifty-seven pages and still a new chapter has yet to come!" Ziva smiled weakly before Tony pulled her closer to him. "Do you know what this?" she asked and he looked down at her. "What? Magnum P.I.?" Ziva shook her head, "This is a new chapter," He furrowed his eyebrows at her, "What chapter?"

"In Life."
