"Hhmmm," suddenly they heard a moan.

"Gibbs?" "Jethro?" "Boss?" all three asked at the same time. Scanning the room they found him leaning against the wall with his back up weapon resting in his hands.

"Gibbs are you all right?" McGee questioned as he and Jenny looked over the rest of his body, checking for more injury's other then his head wound while DiNozzo checked on Ziva.

"Did I get the bastard?" He asked as he pressed his palm to his temple in an attempt to ease the pounding in his head.

"You shot him boss?" Tony smiled but his expression changed to one of concern as he noticed Gibbs' eyes darting around the room.

"Ahelia? Where is Ahelia?" He ordered as he tried to stand. McGee, Jenny and Tony looked at each other in shock, they had forgotten all about the little girl.

A little whimper drew their attention back to where Ziva was still lying in her unconscious state, blissfully unaware of the danger that had only moments ago surrounded her.

"Ahelia?" Gibbs whispered. Grasping the railing of the hospital bed with one hand, he carefully lowered himself down to the floor to look at the little girl. "It's all over sweet heart, you can come out now," he murmured softly as he held out a hand to the cowering little girl under her mothers bed.

LEVEL 5 ZIVA'S ROOM

"I'll go and get a doctor," McGee stated as he hurried out of the room.

"Are you ok honey?" Jenny murmured as she checked the trembling little girl resting in Gibbs' arms.

"Ada is my ima . . . . " Ahelia started to cry again as she pressed herself closer into his embrace.

"No baby ima is just sleeping at the moment, ok?" he whispered as he stroked her back.

"Ah excuse me sir," a nurse made herself known at the door, "I need to stitch up that head wound of yours and then we want to take you down to X-ray," she stated.

"I'm not going anywhere until I know how Ziva is doing!" he grunted as the nursed pressed the cut on his head rather roughly.

"Go Jethro, the quicker you get down there and they check you over the quicker you can get back here to be with Ziva," she raised her hand when he was about to protest. "That was an order not a suggestion. I'll look after Ahelia, now go!"

He sighed, "You go with Auntie Jenny ok, I'll be right back," he said gently as he kissed her cheek before passing her over.

20 minutes later Gibbs was back up in Ziva's room and she was starting to stir so the others left to give them some privacy.

"Gibbs," she choked out.

"Hey Zee I'm here," he said as he smiled down at her. "How do you feel?"

"I am fine," she stated before looking around the room, the heart monitor that was still attached to her started to beep loud and fast as she grew more and more panicked, "Ahelia where is she," she yelled as she tried to get out of bed.

"Whoa, Ziva, Ahelia is fine, I'll go and get her she is with Ducky and Jenny at the moment."

WAITING ROOM

"What do you think is taking Gibbs so long, He's been in there for an hour, I want to see Ziva too!" huffed Abey as she paced back and forth.

"They have a lot to talk about my dear, just give it a few more minutes then we will go and see them," Ducky murmured as he grabbed her by the shoulders to halt her movements, "If you don't stop pacing you will wear a hole in the floor."

10 minutes later Abey was still walking around the waiting room, "Did you know that it is exactly 21.3 feet in width and 27.9 feet in length, I'm mean come on why not just make it 21 x 28, what is with the extra .9 and .3," she stated quickly.

"How man Caf pow's have you had today Abey?" questioned Tony as they all watched her measure out the room again.

"About 8, why?" she stated as her head whipped around and glared at him.

"Well you look and act like what a chipmunk on speed would be like," he retorted back.

"Oh and you know what a chipmunk on speed looks like?" Her voice raised an octave higher.

"Ok, I think we have given them long enough let's go," Jenny pipped up hopping to ease the tension between the two.

ZIVA'S ROOM

When they made it to Ziva's room it was still in darkness, quietly they all proceeded in. Abey being the first in suddenly stopped causing the others to walk into her back.

"Abey don't just stop like that!" complained Tony.

"Shh," she whispered as she flashed them all a smile, "look."

Gibbs was lying beside Ziva with Ahelia in between the pair fast asleep, all blissfully unaware of the group of on lookers. "Ah, that explains why they were taking so long, well come on all let's leave them be, we can come back tomorrow and visit," murmured Ducky, Abey was about to complain so he put his hand over her mouth. "Tomorrow Abigail," he stressed as he pushed them all back out of the room.

Taking one last glance at the sleeping family he smiled before following the bickering group down the hall.

12 MONTHS LATER
GIBBS' HOUSE

Ziva had just finished cleaning the kitchen when her body buckled over in pain, panting she grabbed hold of the table, her knuckles turned white as she attempted to breathe through the stabbing clenching pain. When it had eased she headed slowly towards the basement doors, pausing on the landing of the stairs she took in the sight before her.

Gibbs was fast asleep on the couch with Ahelia sleeping on his chest. Carefully she made her way down and shook his shoulder, "Jethro? Jethro honey?"

"Yeah," he murmured his response as he stood and placed the sleeping child back down. "Are you ok?" he questioned when he saw the pain in her eyes.

Shaking her head she called out in pain, "Ahhhh."

"Ziva," he helped her to sit on the couch, "Is it time?" he questioned as he gently rubbed his large hands over her swollen abdomen.

"Y-yes I-it is," she panted out before moaning.

The normally in control Special Agent was a little more than flustered at the appending arrival of the new baby, his new baby.

"What do I do?" he questioned as he started to pace back and forth. This would be his 2nd biological child but he wasn't their when Shannon had Kelly. He couldn't help but feel a little out of his depth.

"Call Ducky and Jenny," she murmured when the pain had subsided. She had insisted that Ducky delivered the baby as she wanted someone that she new and trusted, and Jenny was to watch Ahelia for them.

Gibbs nodded dumbly as he went to make the appropriate phone calls. Ziva pointed upstairs and whispered to him, "bathroom," she wanted a hot bath to help alleviate the pain. Ever so carefully she waddled up to the second floor.

"Ziva?" Gibbs questioned as he checked on her a half an hour later, "How are you feeling?"

"I am fine, this little one wants out though," she sighed as his well trained and rough hands started to massage her lower back.

"Where is Ahelia?" she moaned.

"Everyone is here, and I put Ahelia in her room as she is still sleeping."

"Everyone?" she grunted.

"Jenny called Abey and then she called DiNozzo and McGee, when I questioned them they all said that they wanted to be here when their niece or nephew was born, I couldn't exactly throw them out, they are family. Don't you want them here?"

"Yes I want them here, it's just a little over whelming that is all, as I had to do this all by myself last time," she murmured.

"Your not alone anymore hun," he smiled at her before giving her a loving kiss.

"Good evening my dear," Ducky greeted the pair, "let's see how things are going shell we?" he said as he snapped on a pair of gloves.

LOUNGE ROOM
GIBBS' HOUSE

"Maybe I should see if they are all right," Abey grumbled as she took a sip of her caf pow.

"If they wern't allright we would know, now sit Abs!" Tony stated as he roughly pulled her back to sit on the couch.

"Then maybe I should check on Ahelia," Abey stated as she went to rise from the chair.

"Abs your making me nervous," McGee huffed as he reached for her hand and made her sit a little more gracefully then what Tony had done previously.

Abey was about to retort a reply when a high pitched wailing brought all their attention to the stairs.

"That was it, I'm an auntie, I'm an auntie, I have a niece or a nephew, oh I'm an auntie," Abey sung as she danced around the room.

"Gibbs?" Jenny stated as they all watched the proud new father walk down the stairs carrying a tiny bundle in his arms.

"What did you name it?" Abey squealed.

"Kaylen Elias," he looked at the bundle in his arms before looking at the group before him, and when he spoke his voice shook with that of amazement.

"I have a son!"
