Chapter 8

"Come on Ziva. Fight it. Come back to me, Please. Come on babe, I love you, I need you, I'm nothing without you. Come on." As he continued begging her to come back to him, his voice became more and more desperate, Gibbs couldn't help but feel his pain.

"Step aside DiNozzo."

"No Boss."

"The paramedics are here, step aside." Tony looked around to see the paramedics coming up the stairs still staying close to her, he moved back slightly letting the men through. He watched as they fussed around her. In the background he could hear muffled voiced from Jethro and the paramedics. He could only assume Gibbs was filling them in on what happened, however, he couldn't make it out though of the haze, he couldn't stop staring at her. They picked her up and he followed her down the stairs. As they lifted her into the ambulance Tony stepped up but an arm blocked him, he looked at the paramedics face, then to his boss. The paramedics followed Tony's gaze and looked at Gibbs. "They're married," he stated and with that the arm lifted and Tony sat next to Ziva holding her hand and stroking her forehead. The ambulance started to move.

"She's pregnant, or she might be pregnant, did he tell you that?"

"Yes sir, he did."

"She's going to be alright, right? She'll be alright."

"She's concussed, you'll have to wait till she sees a doctor to find out anything else."

"The baby?"

"I'm sorry sir, but if she is pregnant it's too early for us to be able to tell. You'll just have to wait,"

"Wait? Come on, this is killing me."

"I can tell you her vitals are strong and the cut on her head was relatively superficial. You did the right thing by calling 911 and not trying to move her yourself, she could have spinal injuries with a fall like that."

Tony didn't respond to that, he was back to being too preoccupied by his wife lying motionless in front of him. He kissed her hand

"Come on Ziva, you're stronger then this."

Tony sat in the waiting room, hunched over. His forehead resting in his palms as he waited for any word on the condition of his… family. After all that is what Ziva was. His family, with child or not, she still meant more to him then anyone ever had, and more then anyone ever could. Finally the double doors of emergency opened and a tall man in a white coat came out. "Mr DiNozzo?" he questioned.

"Yeah, that's me. Please Doc, you gotta tell me she's alright."

"She is your wife?"

"Yeah,"

"She seems to be doing ok, no spinal injury, slight concussion, a few bumps and bruises but no permanent damage."

"Listen Doc…" Tony rubbed the back of his neck not sure how to say what he wanted to without sounding like an unsupportive husband. "There's a chance that she might be pregnant."

"There's no chance Mr DiNozzo."

"So she's not pregnant?" he asked, the depression and heartache evident in his voice.

"No, no chance, she's defiantly pregnant."

"She's pregnant? And the baby, is it alright?"

"It's early days, I'd say from the quick look I had that your wife is roughly 3 months pregnant. We can't say for sure but for now everything looks just fine."

"Thanks Doc, that's fantastic." Tony had never felt the over whelming coupling of relief and joy so strong before. "Can I go in and see her?" A nurse walked over and spoke quietly into the Doctor's ear. Tony tried to listen but with the surrounding clutter of the hospital meant he was unable to hear. Tony waited till the nurse disappeared trying to get a reading as to what was going on. "Is it Ziva? What's wrong?"

"You're going to make a good Father Mr DiNozzo, you're already extremely protective."

"Comes naturally in my line of work."

"arh yes, your both NCIS Special Agents."

"yeah, so she alright?"

"She's just waking up, I'll take you to her." With that the both disappeared behind the double doors.

"Tony?" Ziva muttered her eyes still struggling to open. Tony who was sitting next to her holding her hand was relieved to hear that sweet voice.

"Hey there. How ya doing?"

"Been better."

"Arh, come on you've been worse."

"What about the… I mean, I."

"It's alright, I told the doctor."

"What did he say?"

"He said every part of you was fine, I'm not saying if your pregnant or not. Figured you still hadn't made up your mind about us. I want to do the right thing by you Ziva, and if not pushing and that means we don't talk about what I do or don't know."

"You know though?"

"Yeah I do."

"HA!"

"Ha what?"

"Ha, I know."

"How do you know?"

"Your face, I can read you like a novel Tony."

"book Darling… and HEY!"

"potato, patarto, it's all the same. Besides, if you think it is important I do not know before I decide, it answers that question. If I wasn't pregnant, you would have told me."

"Maybe I knew you would psycho analyse me like that and so I adjusted my response accordingly."

"You are not that clever Tony."

"Hey!!! Yes I am." Ziva just glared at him till he responded. "Fine, I didn't but I could have."

"I know." Tony bowed his head took a deep breath then looked back at his wife with worry filled eyes. "You ok?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well this wasn't exactly what you expected, and… you know… with us at the moment, I don't want you to feel rushed, or pressured."

Ziva paused, she thought and considered, her eyes finally made contact with his, "I know what I have to do, what is best for everyone." She couldn't look at him any more, she averted her eyes.
