Chapter 20 – Plot Turn

Ziva returned home and walked quickly to the bedroom where she opened her backpack and shoved the brown paper bag inside.

"Where the hell have you been?" Tony stood in the door way,

"I was running an errand." Said Ziva; trying to hide the brown bag that stuck out from her backpack.

"What errand? What's in that bag?"

Ziva thought as she walked right up to Tony, her face an inch from his, though there was nothing sexual or romantic about it. She was threatening him, telling him to back off.

"Nothing that concerns you."

Tony pressed his forehead to Ziva's and pushed like two bulls preparing to fight.

"Tell me next time. You just disappeared. I don't like that." He was eerily calm,

"It never bothered you before." Defended Ziva, Tony just stared in to her eyes, "Why so jealous?" She mocked before realisation hit her, "You thought- you thought- ergh!"

"I thought what Ziva?" He asked, still calm,

"Tony it was three years ago!"

"What was three years ago?"

"You acted differently all day! You haven't touched me since the pantry! God Tony it's like you think I'll run off and sleep with him again!"

"I don't mind if you slept with Gibbs. You were drunk and it was a long time ago. I understand Ziva."

"Then you won't mind," Whispered Ziva seductively as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "If I do this." And she pulled his lips to hers and kissed him deeply, Tony pulled back.

"Ziva…" He warned, but Ziva ignored him. She pushed him down on their bed and pulled her shirt off then straddled him, bending down to kiss him. "Ziva… Ziva stop."

Having proven her point Ziva stood and glared, "Seeing as I disgust you so much, I'll do you a favour and sleep at my place." She grabbed her shirt and backpack then stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

"Shalom; this is Officer Ziva David, I am not home at this moment, please leave a message. BEEP!"

"Zee, it's me; Tony… Uhh, I just wanna say I'm sorry about last night… And well, you're right, I spose I was a little disgusted, but uhh… If you accept my past with Kate, I accept your past with Gibbs… I love you, my ninja. God I love you so much. Come over tonight, come home… Please ba-BEEP! Message deleted."

Ziva picked up her phone, it was lunch time, she'd just come back from a jog (having missed her early morning jog today and yesterday) she dialled the familiar number of Tony's house and held the phone between her ear and shoulder.

"DiNozzo."

"Tony… I'm sorry Tony."

"Zee?"

"I love you, my little hairy butt."

"I love you, my crazy ninja."

Ziva chuckled, "I'm packing."

"How's it going?"

"Slowly; someone has been holding me hostage at their house for two weeks." She joked,

"Just getting used to living in the same house as my fabulous girlfriend," Defended Tony, "I can't help it if I can't get enough of you."

Ziva laughed, "Of course."

"You gonna come over tonight?"

"I'll try, I want to pack some more. I should go now. Shalom, Tony."

"Shalom."

Ziva hung up and eyed the brown paper bag that sat on her kitchen table. It was going to be a long day.

* * *

It was Monday morning and Tony sat at his desk, bored out of his mind. He looked up as the elevator dinged; Ziva stepped out carrying a paper bag and her back pack. As she neared her desk Tony spoke.

"Zee, where were you last night? I thought you were gonna come over."

Ziva chuckled, "I said I might come over, and I was planning too but I fell asleep packing." She dumped her backpack on the ground next to her desk then opened a drawer and dropped the paper bag inside.

"What's in the bag, Zee-Vah?"

Ziva chuckled again, "Wouldn't you like to know."

Tony pouted,

"You're pathetic, Tony." Commented Kate "Like that's ever worked." Ziva walked over and gave Tony a peck on the cheek before turning to walk over to her desk, Tony smacking her butt on the way.

SMACK

"Ow; hey Boss, what was that for?"

"What have I told you about sexual harassment?"

SMACK

"What?!" Asked Ziva indignantly, rubbing her head.

"Thought I told you to keep it out of the office."

* * *

The morning dragged on, and Ziva managed to finish her latest case report. With nothing to do she headed down to visit Abby; she knew Kate was already down there. Tony watched her as she opened her draw and took out the brown paper bag and headed towards the elevator.

Her nerves bubbled inside her as she stood in the elevator, and she sighed in relief when the doors opened and she walked out to Abby's lab.

"Abby?"

"Hey Ziva! Ohhh, what's in the bag?"

"That is why I came down here." Said Ziva hesitantly, "I need a favour…from both of you."

"What is it?" Asked Kate,

Ziva didn't say anything, just tipped the bag upside-down on the evidence table, eight pregnancy tests fell out.

"Oh."

"OH MY GOD, ZIVA!" Squealed Abby,

Ziva just stared at Abby solemnly. "This is not good news Abby."

"Oh…"

"And you want us to…?"

Ziva looked at the table. There were two brands, four of each. Ziva grabbed one of each and passed them to Kate, then passed one of each to Abby.

"Make sure they are not faulty."

"Ok!" Said Abby cheerfully,

"I don't know, there's no point for me too, I haven't had sex in years." Said Kate,

"Exactly Kate!" Said Abby, "If you get a positive we'll know they're faulty, come on! It'll be fun!"

"Ok I'll do it, but your sense of fun is completely whacked out."

* * *

Abby, Kate, and Ziva sat against the wall of the bathroom, waiting impatiently for a minute to pass.

Kate sat crying in Catherine Smith's new bathroom. She had no one to turn to. She couldn't do this alone. She couldn't. She knew she would have to though.

Wiping her eyes Kate looked down to the white stick in her hand and held her breath as she moved her finger out of the way.

Negative.

"It'll be ok Ziva. No matter what, it'll be okay." Kate looked at the two tests in her hands, "It's time. Neg and… minus."

Ziva took a breath and looked at her four tests. "Pos, pos, plus, and plus… I'm- I'm pregnant…"

"Ziva you are not that woman! You will not ruin your life by started a family that will fall apart beneath your feet! You will never be the woman to bear a child, never, even if I have to force it from you!" Eli David's voice yelled,

"Papa!"

"Enough! Get out of my sight!"

"Abby?" Kate's voice brought Ziva out of her memories, "Abby?"

"Abby, what is wrong?"

Abby stared at her tests, ignoring Kate and Ziva.

She was pregnant…
