Date Night:
"Come On!" Abby said as she sat on the floor of Aimee's nursery, while Ziva breastfed the baby. "Abby it is too soon." Ziva said with a sigh and Abby gave her a glare, "It's been like 3 months!"
"3 months, 19 days, and 17 hours." Ziva explained and Abby sighed. "You don't have to stay out all night, just for like a couple of hours." Abby said as Ziva detached the baby from her and set her on her shoulder and burped her gently, "I don't wanna leave her." Ziva murmured, before a glint flashed in her eye, "No, you cannot take her with you."
Ziva sighed, "Abby I wanna see you have a baby and then have somebody else take her away from you." Abby sighed, "It's not like I'm a stranger or something."
Ziva exhaled, "Fine. But only for two hours." Abby grinned and clapped, "Well, come on. We gotta go get you something to wear."
Ziva rolled her eyes, "If you can get her dressed then, I guess we can go to the mall."
Abby held out her arms, "Give me baby."
Ziva rolled her eyes handing Aimee to Abby and straightening herself up and then stood up, "It is almost seventy degrees outside. Do not pick something that she will start to fuss in." Ziva explained and Abby sashayed her hand at her, "She's my goddaughter, I know what to do."
"Okay." Ziva replied before walking out. Abby set Aimee on her back and tickled her sides, "Okay Aimee, what do you want to wear today?" Aimee responded by blowing spit bubbles, Abby sighed before picking the baby up and walked over to her closet. "See Mommy will get mad if I put you in black today," Abby murmured as she pulled down a bright, sky blue one-piece with a big brown puppy dog on the front.
"You're gonna be so pretty when you grow up." Abby said as she unbuttoned her pajamas. "Do you need a diaper change?" Abby asked as she pulled the tabs off the diaper, Abby gagged before waving a hand by her face.
"Okay, yes you do."
Abby walked over to where the DiNozzo's kept the diapers, she opened the drawer, and felt air. "Um, Ziva, where are the diapers?" Abby called.
"In the drawer, where we always keep them." Ziva called back.
"Um, there's none here."
Ziva walked into the nursery, and looked in the drawer, "Check the closet." She directed as she tried to keep Aimee distracted. "None there." Ziva bit her lip, "I'm gonna kill Tony," she muttered under her breath before kissing Aimee's stomach. "Sorry for mommy's bad language."
Ziva looked over at Tony, "We have a rule, whoever is the last person to change the diaper, has to buy more diapers. Obviously Tony can't remember that."
Abby licked her lips, "So, what now?"
Ziva pulled her cell phone from her pocket, "I'm calling Tony."
"What's he gonna do?" Ziva shrugged, "I don't know, but I have the right to yell at him. Right Aimee?" Aimee giggled at her mother before Tony picked up on the other line. "Yes? What's wrong?" He asked.
"We have a rule." Ziva said simply. "We have a lot of rules." He replied. "Who got up and changed Aimee last night?" Ziva asked. "Um, Me." He said unsurely. "Right, so shouldn't have you bought diapers last night?"
"Well if you knew we didn't have any diapers then you should have bought some." Tony said. Ziva rolled her eyes, "I just found out."
Tony sighed, "So there are no diapers in the drawer?"
"No."
"There are no diapers in the closet?"
"No."
"There are no diapers in the basement?"
Ziva furrowed her eyebrows, "What do you mean, basement?"
"The basement, the downstairs." Tony explained. "This house has a basement?" Ziva asked curiously. "Um, yeah. That's where all the extra stuff went." Tony said. Ziva looked at Abby before swaddling Aimee up and while still on the phone clutched the baby to her chest and walked down the stairs, toward the supposed basement.
The walls were a light grey, and the carpet was the kind that slipped through your toes. He added a pool table, and a flat screen TV, and recliners and lounging chairs. But there was a back room filled with neatly organized baby supplies including a whole wall filled with diapers.
"Whoa." Abby murmured. "Yep, had Matt hook him me up." Tony said simply. "So, did you find the diapers?" Tony asked smugly. Ziva rolled her eyes before snapping the lid shut.
Abby walked over and grabbed a couple of packages before she and Ziva headed upstairs, "That's gonna be a perfect place for her to learn how to crawl." Abby said and Ziva nodded, "I can tell she has been down there before, she did not freak out."
Ziva set Aimee down on the changing table, again, and Abby gave her the diaper. "Does she always freak out in new places?"
Ziva shrugged, "Sometimes."
She fixed her baby up again before handing her over to Abby, "Do I still have to get dressed?" Ziva asked and Abby nodded, "Trust me, it'll be fun."
"We're off to find your mommy a dress!" Abby said excitedly as they walked through the mall. "Something that will make him drool yes?" Ziva said and Abby nodded, "Even better."
As they walked into a store, Ziva checked on Aimee once more, who was still sleeping soundly from their car ride. "What about this one?" Abby asked as she held up a cherry red dress. "Um, I don't know." Ziva said hesitantly. Abby set it back down before walking over to another rack, "So, has your doctor like given you the A-OK?" Abby asked and Ziva looked over at her, "For what?"
"You know."
Ziva raised her eyebrows, "Oh…um, no, not yet. She thinks maybe a little longer." Abby smirked, "You know, when you lie, you scrunch up your face."
Ziva rolled her eyes and picked up her daughter and rocked her gently, "She may have said, I am ready, but I do not feel like it." She said quietly. Abby rubbed her shoulder, "That's fine."
Ziva held Aimee tight, "If I had a choice, I wouldn't go back to be being the old me."
Abby smiled, "You like being a mom." Ziva nodded, "I wouldn't change it for the world."
"Excuse me," a sales clerk said as she walked over to them. "Can I help you?" she asked. "Um, yeah, you see," Abby said as she started to explain. "She just had a baby, so you know it's time for her and her husband, to you know have 'date night,' so she needs something special."
The sales clerk nodded, "I see, what's her name?" Ziva smiled, "Aimee."
"Well, Ms. Aimee, I think I can find your mom something wonderful for your dad. I'm Linda by the way." She explained before turning on her heels and gestured for her to follow. Ziva set Aimee back in the stroller before following Abby and Linda, "So do you have a specific color?" Linda asked and Ziva shook her head. "Black may be best." Abby suggested and Ziva smirked, "And what is that supposed to mean?"
Abby smiled at her before she and Linda flipped through more black dress, while Ziva sat down on a bench, gently rocking the stroller.
"You don't want mommy to go on a date with daddy do you?" Aimee yawned and looked blankly at her mother. "I'll take that as a no." Ziva said with a grin, she rested her chin on the cup holder and gently rubbed Aimee's soft, curly, brown hair. "Say, I have mommy's hair."
Aimee giggled and smiled, "What? It's true." Ziva said. "Okay, what about this one?" Abby asked as she held a short black dress. "It is very pretty." Ziva decided.
"Rarely does she say that." Abby whispered to Linda, who stifled a laugh. Abby handed her the dress, "Try it on." She insisted and Ziva sighed before letting Abby watch Aimee and Linda direct her to the dressing room.
"Aimee, do you think you could convince mommy to go on a date with daddy?" Abby whispered and Aimee reached up for her pigtails. "No, not my ponytails, date and mommy."
Aimee ignored her and started blowing spit bubbles, Abby sighed and looked around the mall, why they had a lingerie store next to and ice cream shop, she had no idea. "This world is very weird." She muttered to herself as she watched a blonde walk in, and flip through some pieces, she looked strangely familiar.
It couldn't have been Ashley, she and Matt had gone to Connecticut to visit her parents. Who else was blonde…"Oh my God." Abby said, finally realizing who it exactly was. "Okay, what do you think?" Ziva asked as she stepped out.
It was like a perfect match. Not in one place was it not perfect, "Oh my gosh, you have to get it." Linda said and Ziva looked at Abby for approval, she nodded, "Yeah, totally, it fits you like a-."
"A glove yes?" Abby smiled,
"See, Marrying a DiNozzo is a good thing."
He checked the clock. 7: 00. It was time. Time for, 'You Only Live Twice,' with Sean Connery. She snuggled closer to him as they lay on the couch; Aimee was sound asleep in the baby swing which laid right next to them. Ziva's new dress, thrown to the side. "See," he murmured. "We don't need to go out and have like a fancy dinner, and have wine."
"Even if it would be nice." Ziva said. "We're not just Tony and Ziva anymore." Ziva nodded, "We're Tony, Ziva and Aimee."
"And I would want it any other way."
