JFYI: (Just for your info) Aimee's nursery photo is on my profile so check it out!
Fire Happy
Abby and Delilah finally decided on a perfect shade of yellow, a little lighter than a shade of gold for Aimee's room.
"It's gonna be sunshine-tastic." Delilah said as they walked out of the store, hand-in-hand of the couple swinging back and forth, as happy as could be.
Tony had carried Delilah, who had fallen asleep as soon as they got into the car, inside the house, her little arms wrapped tightly around his neck. "Here, let me take her." Eden said as she tried to take Delilah from him. "No, no, I got it. I'll just go put her in our bed." He said quietly and Eden stepped back and let him walk up the stairs and toward his bedroom.
"Where's Tony?" McGee grunted as he dragged paint cans into the house. "He just took Lyla up to their room." Lyla explained and McGee rolled his eyes before Ziva brushed in past him. "McGee, I would help you but Tony will not let me."
McGee looked up at her, "Course." "The lady's right McGee. She needs to take it easy." Tony said as he slowly walked down the stairs, "Are you gonna help us Tony?" He asked and Tony sighed, "How heavy can it be?" McGee smiled and handed him a can. "Oh Jesus." Tony muttered as he nearly dropped the can. Ziva covered her mouth with her hand to conceal her laugh.
"Yeah, laugh now sweet cheeks." Tony hissed as he and McGee tried to climb up the stairs. Gibbs looked at the two and then shook his head, "It's paint not a women's suitcase." He called and Eden and Ziva raised their eyebrows, "Normal Women." He clarified and they both nodded, "Good."
"Um, do we have to get all this furniture out of here?" McGee called and Ziva sighed before walking with Gibbs, Abby, and Eden up to the nursery. "What?" Abby asked.
McGee pointed to the crib, "Do we have to take all of this out?" Ziva nodded, "I do not want paint on the furniture." Ziva said and Tony groaned. "Can't we just put covers over them?" McGee asked. Ziva smiles, "Unless you want me to kill you." McGee rolled his eyes and sighed before he and Tony attempted to lift the crib. "I do not think it will fit through the door like that." Ziva teased before she joined Eden in answering the front door.
"Any idea who it could be?" Eden asked. Ziva shrugged, "It could a variety of people. It could be-." She stopped sudden when she heard the sound of the lock being picked. She glanced up, she knew it wasn't her team, Abby and Gibbs was upstairs, so she had no idea who it could be. She gestured herself and Eden against the wall by the door.
Eden bent down and slowly pulled her knife from the holder on her ankle. "Nice." Ziva muttered before slowly the door opened and she pressed the bud of the gun to Matt's head. "Matthew!" Ziva shouted and he raised his hands in defeat. "Hey, Hey, I was just-."
"About to get yourself killed?" Eden asked as she replaced her knife and Ziva slid her gun back into the end table drawer. "Okay, Okay, I probably should have waited longer but…we got names!" He said excitedly. Eden raised her eyebrows, "We?"
"Remember? Blonde. Victoria." Ziva said and Eden whistled. "Your brother? A victoria?" Ziva nodded. Matt shruged, "I never did understand girl talk." Ziva looked outside to her front yard, "So where is Ms. Ashley?"
"Um, she had to finish her last class before she came here."
"Oh yeah, because you already finished yours." Ziva teases. "I'm 24, what can I say. School wasn't that hard." Matt said and Eden furrows her eyebrows, "Oh yeah you did skip like 2 grades."
Matt grinned, "David blood runs strong!"
"Hey, we're painting up there you wanna come help?" she asked and he shrugged. "You can borrow some of Tony's clothes." Eden added. "All right." They all climbed upstairs before Ziva handed him some of Tony's old clothes, which he quickly changed into.
Gibbs handed Matt a paint brush and he started a wall with McGee and Abby. "So why yellow again?" he asked. Ziva shrugged, "So many nurseries are pink and purple, plus Tony said no to orange."
Tony looked over at her, "Yeah, but now I fear I might be blinded."
"Can I help?" Delilah groggily asked and Gibbs smiles before he hoisted her up and helped him paint a long stroke. Ziva looked at them continuously finally realizing something; Delilah kinda looked like Kelly. Almost an exact match. The hair and the eyes, probably even the personality. She decided not to say anything, for now.
"Delilah this is such a pretty color." Abby said and Delilah grinned. "Thank You and you can call me Ly, like Mommy does. Or Mercedes like my dad does."
"Yeah, that reminds me, that's your Benz outside?" Matt asked and Eden turned to look at him, a snug grin on her face. "Yes."
Matt raised his eyebrows, "Could I borrow it sometime?" He asked and she chuckled. She said something to Delilah in a totally different language, "Ly? What did I tell you before?" Eden asked once she finished. "You said that, that was a one in a million thing for someone to ever borrow your car." Eden smiled, "Exactly. Nobody touches my car but me."
"And me!" Lyla piped up and Eden seemed to ponder the thought for a moment, "Maybe, when you're 27." She decided and Delilah smiled before Gibbs showed her how to make a swirl using the paint brush.
They painted for another two hours before they finally finished all four walls. "Come on. Let's let this dry and then we can put everything back." Ziva said. "Can you make lunch sweet cheeks?" Tony pleaded and Ziva sighed, "What would you like?"
Tony licked his lips and tapped his foot in thought, "Tony, I am nearly 8 month pregnant please don't piss me off." Ziva said and Tony gave her a DiNozzo grin. "How about a PB & J with some chips on the side?" Ziva nodded, "Fair enough." Eden looked over at Gibbs and Lyla as Lyla laughed when Gibbs painted a tiny unicorn. "Eden? Are you coming?" Ziva asked as she stood in the doorway.
Eden snapped her head over to Ziva and nodded, "Yeah. Course." She followed Ziva down the stairs, where Ziva attempted to walk normally, but it soon turned into waddling. Eden laughed at the sight, "Shut up!" Ziva called and Eden laughed louder. "It's too funny cause I never did it with Liles." Eden explained as they walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah, well your lucky."
"That's because you're carrying a DiNozzo baby." Eden teased as she sat at the bar. Ziva smiled over at her before taking out two slices of bread and the peanut butter jar. "Can you go ask McGee, Gibbs, and Abby if they want anything?" Ziva asked and Eden nodded before getting up and running up the stairs.
As Ziva pulled out the jelly jar from the fridge, Aimee gave her one large kick and she bit her lip from cursing. She sighed, "Aimee. That is not nice." She told her stomach. "I do not know if it will get through." Ziva turned around to see her Aunt leaning against the counter. "It was worth a shot." Ziva shrugged before going back to making the sandwich.
"My dear, my dear." Ducky hummed as he walked into the house. "Hello Ducky." Ziva called as Eden and Tony came trotting down the stairs. Ducky looked up at Ziva, "Oh yes, you too Ziva." He said before he kissed Aunt Nettie's cheek and started walking up the stairs.
Ziva stopped, Tony stopped, and Eden stopped, wondering why they had stopped. "That's gross." Tony groaned and Ziva added, "Yeah, I think my morning sickness might be coming back."
"I… don't get it." Eden said simply. Tony started wiping off his own cheek, "I feel like it's burning my cheek!" he shouted. "Why?" Ziva asked. "Because, we're family and I can feel it too!"
Ziva giggled, "Stop being silly, I was kidding."
Tony looked at her curiously, "I wasn't." Ziva gestured for him to come over to her which he obeyed he obeyed kindly. "Yes sweet cheeks?" "Stop being an ass." She murmured hoping that her Aunt would not hear, luck was not on her side. "Ziva-lah." Aunt Nettie scolded. "I know, I know." Ziva sighed before kissing Tony's chin and then back to his sandwich.
"Um, McGee and Abby were fine. And so was Gibbs." Eden reported. Ziva nodded as Tony slowly wrapped his arms around her stomach and placed his chin on her shoulder, Ziva somewhat giggled, "Tony," she warned. "I can't work like this."
Tony smiled, "Aimee's kicking." He told her and she nodded. "I can tell, she's inside me remember?"
"Well yeah, I kinda put her there." "EW!" Eden shrieked. "Sick. Sick." Aunt Nettie muttered before she took over Ziva's job and she turned to Tony. "See, look what you have done." She whispered to him and Tony smiled. "Get you all by yourself?" He quizzed before she smiled and kissed him. "Very funny." He muttered.
"We have guests." Ziva hissed and he shrugged before shouting, "We're gonna go get…some puppy food boss!" He grabbed Ziva's hand and they rushed out of the door. "I thought they didn't have a dog." Eden asked as Abby came quickly running down the stairs, "Are they gone?" she whispered and Eden looked at her curiously, "Is who gone?"
"Tony and Ziva." Eden nodded, "Yes."
Abby smiled before running to the back door and letting Palmer in, "Did you get it?" she whispered. He nodded as he carried in a large box. "Get what?" Eden asked and Abby shushed her. "GO. GO." she ushered him up the stairs. "What's going on?" Aunt Nettie asked. "It's a surprise." Abby whispered , walking toward them.
"To us too?" Aunt Nettie asked and Abby nodded. "I was just waiting for something to happen for them to get out of this house. Thank God for Ziva's horny hormones."
Eden held back a laugh, "Okay, a little TMI." She declared. "Hey, how else was I supposed to get that ultra-nursery set up there?" Eden slammed her hand on the counter, "Gotcha!"
Abby sighed, "You better not tell them." Eden nodded, "Swear."
"You're naughty." Tony murmured as he and Ziva slowly slipped into the house. "It was your idea." Ziva whispered. All the lights were off and it was unusually quiet.
"This weird." Ziva said. "No, what was weird was that se-." She held up a hand in front of his face, "Shut Up." She whispered. "Come on! Come on! Ziva!" Abby shouted as she ran down the stairs, Ziva looked at her curiously. "Abby, what's going on?" Abby handed them blind folds, "Put these on." She demanded and they both hesitantly. Abby helped them gently up the stairs along with McGee alongside.
"What's going on?" Ziva asked excitedly. She was getting giddy and Abby knew it so she decided to use it against her. "Just hush," Abby said as she steered them in front of the door. "Ready?" Abby whispered and Matt stuck his head out from the nursery and nodded, "All right." She cautiously pushed them both in, "Okay, you can take them off when I get to three okay?"
The couple nodded, "Okay…1, 2, 3!" Ziva quickly undid her blindfold and gasped, "Oh my god."
They had completely transformed the room; Gibbs had put in a window seat, a very colorful seat for that matter, Abby had finally spelled out, 'Aimee Jenesis,' across the wall above the crib Gibbs had made, a shag rug lay by the crib and the other changing table (Gibbs made), there was a new curled chair that was a light pink in the corner with 'Aimee' embroidered across the front. Tons of stuff animals were going all the walls on shelves with baby clothes hanging in the closet and swirls on the border.
"Abs, it's awesome!" Tony said in awe. "It's like…everything, I could have wanted…and more." Ziva said as she looked around. "I mean how could you…. With the swirls?"
Lyla raised her hand proudly, "I did them."
Ziva picked the small child up, "And it is a very nice indeed."
"So, you do like it?" Ashley asked and Ziva nodded. "More."
"How long have we been gone?" Tony asked and Ziva smirked over at him, "Cause it looks like this would take days." He finished.
"About four hours," Abby said casually. Tony grinned and muttered something to himself, "What was that DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked and Tony looked up at him. "I said, how about I go get some pizza for dinner?" Gibbs shrugged, "Fine with me."
They all agreed and he and Matt decided to leave for the dinner leaving the rest of them alone to admire Gibbs's handy work.
"So, uh, Matty boy, what's going on with you and your Lawyer in training self?" Tony asked as he and Matt drove along one of streets. "Um, nothing, I guess." Matt said casually as he flipped through his phone. "What you looking for? Names? " Tony asked. Matt smiled up at him, "No. We already got those picked out."
Tony raised his eyebrows, "I'm listening."
Matt shifted in his seat to face him, "So baby girl; MaKynzi Rivka and baby boy; Asher Gabriel."
Tony smiled, "I think me and Ziva looked at those names," "Just for a second." He reassured. "MaKynzi means fire…and Asher….means happy." Tony concluded and Matt nodded, "Yeah, that's what the book said."
"Dang man, that means you kid's gonna be fire happy."
Matt furrowed his eyebrows at him, "What's that mean?"
"Keep them away from matches."
Got a question; Do you think Tony and Ziva should get a dog? If so, what breed? I'm having a really hard time choosing.
And I would just like to say that all your reviews make me so happy so keep 'em coming
