Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS or the characters.
Authors Note: This will be the final chapter for Heart Song. As I have more ideas for other stories and want to put effort into them but fear not, one of the aforementioned stories will involve TIVA after the Wedding. Now, I will be including NCIS:LA characters in this chapter strictly for the reason of they had the cross over episodes and I feel like it wouldn't be an NCIS wedding without Callen, Sam, Kenzi, Deeks and Hetti.
Thank you to all who favorite and follow my stories. I am proud that people found this story worth commenting on and reading it truly makes this man smile.
Chapter 13
The wedding would start in less than 2 hours. Tony, Gibbs, McGee, Palmer, and Ducky arrived early to meet with the pastor in order to ensure that everything was perfect for the wedding. The chapel was beautiful. It had red and white roses at the altar and at the end of the aisle, while each row of seating had a beautiful arrangement of wildflowers.
"It looks amazing Tony. You and Ziva really outdid yourselves." Gibbs smiled at his senior field agent.
"Thanks, Boss. Ziva and I wanted something simple yet elegant. We want it to be a special day for everyone. You all helped support us for so long we couldn't make it just about us." Tony looked at his friends and smiled.
Today is going to be perfect. I just know it. Tony thought to himself. Today he would become whole today Ziva would become his wife.
The five men made their way to the room where they would wait until Ziva, Abby, Breena, Kenzie and Hetty got there. They spent time joking about how Tony was whipped and that they never thought he would settle down.
Tony of course got a few cheap shots in as well when he brought up McChicken and how he still couldn't ask Abby out on a date. Gibbs, Palmer and Ducky looked at both men feigning irritation when the suppressed laughter finally became overwhelming they broke into hysterics.
"Perfect way to begin my wedding day. I can't believe it in an hour I'll be a husband."
Tony sat down re-reading his vows and cried.
Abby and the rest of the Bridal part arrived at the church and made their way to the back room. Abby had picked out all of the bridesmaids dresses, they were a bright blue with black lining.
"Ziva?" Kenzi was staring at her wondering what was going on. "Ziva? What's up with you?" The member of the OSP team didn't know Ziva well but knew her well enough to understand when she was upset.
"I…I…I think I'm gonna be sick." Ziva stated as she ran to the head.
"Been sick like that often?" asked the leader of the team from Los Angeles.
"Every morning for the past month. Tony notices but doesn't say anything believes it to be nothing more than stress and I don't want to make him nervous enough to run from me. He's known for his commitment issues I wanted to take this slow. Guess now, I may have to tell him. But I'm going to wait until after the wedding." Ziva smiled sadly knowing that what she had to tell Tony was going to change the course of their future.
"OH…MY…GOD…." Abby shrieked. "YOUR PREGNANT AREN'T YOU ZIVA?"
"Abby relax the men are down the hall." Ziva put her head in her hands and began to shake. "What if he leaves me Abby? What if he can't handle me being pregnant?" All Ziva could think about what if scenarios.
"Ziva, it's Tony you are talking about the first thing he is going to do is ask if you want to go get a pregnancy test just to be sure. Then he is going to put every dime he has into taking care of you and his unborn child." Abby smiled, she knew Tony and he would be very happy to know he was going to be a father.
The wedding began the way most weddings do. The traditional waiting for Ziva to make her way up to the alter. Tony nudged Tim, "You have the rings right?"
"Of course! You really think I'd forget those?" stated Tim.
The wedding precession started with: Abby and Callen. Tony had gotten to know him and respected him and wanted him involved in the wedding. The next group to follow was Palmer and Breena. This would be perfect practice for the autopsy gremlin and his future wife. Finally, Gibbs and Ziva walked down the aisle.
"Take care of each other. Love each other. Be faithful. Be honest. And above all, stand by each other. Oh and Tony always stay true, stay the man she fell in love with." Gibbs stated after walking Ziva to Tony.
The reading of their vows took longer than expected as neither could keep their composure long enough to finish. It was an emotional wedding, but a beautiful one.
"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride."
Tony took Zivas hands and passionately kissed his new wife.
"I love you Ziva David. You have made me the happiest man alive." Tony was smiling into the kiss.
"I love you my little hairy butt." Ziva said smiling.
"Ladies and Gentlemen and I now pronounce to you for their first dance as Husband and Wife. Mr and Mrs. Anthony DiNozzo."
The song that was played at the reception for their first song was one both held dear. Your Everything by Keith Urban
The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
That I would do anything for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
What I never felt with anyone else.
I want to give back what you've given to me
And I want to witness all of your dreams
Now that you shown me who I really am
I want to be more than just your man.
Ziva and Tony danced closely. Ziva smiled at him and couldn't wait any longer she had to tell her new husband.
"Tony, I have something I need to tell you. I know it might make you run but…uh I can't not tell you after all it would be wrong to start off our marriage without telling you. For as much as I don't know how you will take it…I…" Tony's lips caught Ziva's and he smiled.
"Babe, you're rambling." Tony smiled and twirled her around once more.
"Tony, you're going to be a father. I'm pregnant." Ziva waited for the other shoe to drop, for Tony to run for the hills and say I want a divorce. Instead his eyes filled with tears.
"I'm going to be a dad?" Tony asked fighting to keep the flood gates at bay. "You mean we are going to have a baby together. We have a little baby growing in there?"
Ziva smiled and put his hand on her stomach where the baby was growing. He started crying right in the middle of the dance floor.
The reception ended, with the rest of the guests gone all that was left was the NCIS teams and their OSP counterparts. It was the way Tony and Ziva wanted it to be, they needed this, to be alone with the people they held closest.
"Guys," Tony stated. "Ziva and I have an announcement to make. We wanted to only tell you all so well…uh…Ziva and I are going to have a baby." Tony couldn't help but smile when he reached over and held his new wives hand. "I'm going to be a dad."
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs started crying. He got up and hugged his senior field agent.
"Congratulations. I'm so happy for both of you."
The NCIS teams enjoyed the final hours of relaxing tomorrow they would be back on cases and Ziva and Tony would be on their honeymoon.
9 Months Later…
"Push Ziva, remember what we learned at class." Tony held Ziva's hand as he helped her birth their first child.
"Shut up Tony! It's all your fault I'm like this!" Ziva was yelling but her eyes spoke more than her words. She loved him and soon they would be welcoming their son into the word.
"One more push Ziva, just one more." Said the doctor.
"AHHHHHH!" Ziva let out one last scream.
"Tony? Would you like to cut the cord?"
He grabbed the scissors and looked at his beautiful son, then he looked back at his wife. Smiling, he cut the cord and watched as the doctors took his infant son.
"Mr and Mrs. DiNozzo, here is your son. Have you thought of a name?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Yes. His name is Timothy Jethro DiNozzo." Stated Tony.
The nurse happily walked off to get a bracelet made for the newborn's ankle.
Okay everyone so that was the end of Heart Song. I promise I have more stories up my sleeve some will be of TJ DiNozzo and his adventures with his friends. Especially since, let's face it his parents are NCIS agents life is bound to be a little interesting.
