Chapter 48 – True Love Never Will Flow Smooth
"Tony… I can not do this anymore. Make it stop." Ziva pleaded,
"I can't."
"Tony, if you do not make it stop-"
"Ziva you promised Abby you'd come. Did you honestly expect to go to a pregnancy aqua-aerobics class and not be surrounded by cheerful, hormonal, pregnant women?"
Ziva glared, "Are you calling me hormonal?"
Tony laughed, "Everyone's hormonal at some stage."
Ziva went back to her pleading, "Tony why can't we leave? I do not like it here. My swimsuit does not fit, the water is freezing, and everyone keeps touching my stomach, and fussing over names and dates."
Tony smiled, "We can buy you a new swimsuit, I know the water is freezing, and pregnant women like to compare experiences."
"Well I do not."
Tony rolled his eyes.
Abby beckoned them over.
"Isn't this so much fun?!" She exclaimed, grinning broadly,
"Seeing you, Kate and Ziva in a swimming pool is, yea." Grinned Tony, Ziva elbowed him,
Kate walked over and sat down, "Are you going to do this every week Abby?"
"I would love too, but with Gibbs I doubt I'll be able to."
Kate nodded and turned to Tony, "Having fun?"
Tony smiled, "I would have more fun if you were wearing the two-piece I bought you."
Kate frowned then remembered, "You mean the bottoms and hat you bought from Puerto Rico years ago?" Tony grinned, "Tony, I lost the bottoms when we went to the Bahamas for that long weekend."
"Yea you did." Tony smirked,
Ziva rolled her eyes, "Can we have one conversation that does not refer to sex?"
"Probably," thought Tony, "If Trina was involved in the conversation. But without her I can't promise anything."
Kate, Ziva and Abby rolled their eyes.
"Ziva," Said Abby, "I want you and Tony to meet someone, come on!"
Abby pulled Tony and Ziva over to a heavily pregnant woman,
"Heather this is Tony and Ziva, guys this is Heather."
Heather gave a big warm smile and shook hands with Tony and Ziva, "Abby told me everything about you two, so sweet, so precious, just over five months along, won't be long and you'll have a sweet little baby in your arms."
Tony and Ziva looked at each other then back at Heather,
"Abby told me you're expecting a girl, have a name picked out? A due date? What about her room? Pink? Purple? I saw the most adorable fairy mobile just the other day, it was just precious, I was tempted to buy it then and there, but my daughter is seven and the rest are boys, including this one," Heather pointed to her stomach, then looked at Tony and Ziva expectantly.
"We have not decided a name." said Ziva, "Perhaps Paula."
"Or Tali." said Tony,
Ziva looked at Tony with raised eyebrows, "What? Did I say it wrong?" He asked,
"You remember my sister's name?"
"Hey! I'm not completely useless."
"Of course not, how else did I get pregnant?" Smirked Ziva,
"See Heather?" Murmured Abby, "I told you they still flirt and banter constantly."
"Are you all ready for the big arrival?" Heather asked Ziva,
Ziva was saved answering by her cell phone ringing in her backpack she bent down and retrieved the ringing phone.
"David." She answered
"Mum?"
"Yes Trina?"
"Ducky just called, he wanted to know if I could stay with him on Saturday, he said I can stay for the night if I want."
"Do you want to go?"
"Yea."
"And you want to stay the night?"
"Yea."
Ziva turned to Tony, "Trina would like to stay with Ducky on Saturday night."
"Oh?"
"You do not mind driving her?"
"Course I'll take her."
Ziva put the phone back to her ear, "Yes you can go."
"Cool! Thanks Mum."
"Shalom."
"Shalom."
Ziva hung up and looked at Abby questioningly. Abby was grinning knowingly, a laugh caught in her throat.
"What?"
"Sending the kids away on Valentine's Day?" smirked Abby,
"When is Valentine's Day?"
"Saturday."
"Is it?"
"Yes!" exclaimed Abby, "How can you forget Valentine's Day?"
"Easily." Said Tony and Ziva at the same time,
* * *
On Valentine's Day the team were to work for the morning only. Ziva, Tony and Kate sat in the bullpen talking about Abby and McGee when McGee himself stepped out of the elevator.
A comment Kate had just started, stopped and she drank deeply from her water bottle. Ziva walked over to Tony and sat on his desk placing his hands over her stomach and just as she did so their unborn daughter moved.
McGee smiled at the sweet moment between Tony and Ziva then head to his desk. He placed his backpack down and sat in his chair switching on his computer when he noticed something on his keyboard; a small wrapped gift. Frowning he opened the package, inside was a small doll with blonde hair in pigtails and a sweet smile. Her shirt was pink with red lettering, 'Happy Valentine's Day'. The strangest thing about the doll however was he legs. They were plastic Chicken drumsticks.
"Uh… guys?"
"Yea McValentine?"
"Who put this here?"
"It was here before any of us arrived." Said Kate,
"Could have been Agent Peters," Said Tony, "I know he swings your way."
"For the last time Tony, I am not gay."
"You can deny it all you want, but it doesn't change the fact you're hiding in a closet."
"Tony, I'm not gay!"
"Yes you are."
"No he's not." said Abby as she walked in holding a bunch of red roses, "Definitely not gay." She seemed to think back on a memory and sighed, "No question about it."
She walked to Ziva, "Happy Valentine's Day guys! Here you go." She gave Ziva a rose, then gave one to Tony, Tim and Kate. "Is Gibbs up with Jenny?"
"Probably."
"Ok!" And she walked towards the catwalk.
Gibbs walked into the bullpen a few minutes later holding an empty coffee cup and a single red rose.
"New necklace, Ziva?" He asked as he walked past,
Ziva grinned and touched the small silver 'Z' that hung from her new necklace.
"A Valentine's Day gift." She told him, her eyes sparkling,
* * *
Later that day Ducky walked into the bullpen.
"Ah, good, you're still here." He said, "I'm about to go home and I thought I might pick Catryn up on the way."
Ziva and Tony looked up. "It is not too much trouble?" Asked Ziva,
"Not at all my dear."
"Thanks Ducky," Grinned Tony,
Twenty minutes later, Ziva finished up her work and started shutting her computer, their shift was over.
"Are you ready to go home, Tony?"
"Uhhh…"
"You haven't finished your reports for the week have you?"
"No."
Ziva sighed, "How long will you be?"
"A few hours?" guessed Tony,
Ziva sighed again, "Ok. I will see you at home." She grabbed her back pack then walked to Tony and kissed him lovingly.
"Bye Sweet Cheeks."
Ziva laughed, "Bye Tony."
"No crazy driving, 'kay Zee?"
Ziva rolled her eyes, "Ok." She kissed him again, "I love you."
"Love you too."
* * *
When Ziva got home, she decided to clean. Ziva had always liked cleaning; when she was younger she would clean with her mother as her mother sang. After her mother's death Ziva would be the one singing and Tali would be the one helping.
As Ziva walked around the house her beautiful voice singing lullabies in Hebrew to her unborn child, she thought of her family. Of Her father, her mother, her aunt and uncle, her brother, her sister, her child. Her aunt Nettie was the closest thing she had to a replacement mother. She was so unlike her brother, always telling him not to sacrifice his children.
Ziva smiled as she thought back to that phone call she had with her aunt, and how Tony and pretended to be her aggressive husband. She laughed when she recalled explaining Tony's out burst to her aunt later, and Nettie replying she approved of Tony and he was obviously perfect for Ziva and she should marry him.
How right Nettie was.
* * *
Tony got home two hours later then he promised.
"Ziva?" He called as he walked in, "Sorry I'm late!"
He walked through the house trying to find Ziva.
"Zee?"
He walked up the stairs and opened the door to their bedroom. He saw Ziva fast asleep on their bed, dressed in new black lacy lingerie specially designed for pregnant women.
Tony sighed and changed into night wear. Then slipped into bed and pulled the covers over him and Ziva, wrapping an arm around her and kissing her cheek.
When Ziva woke the next morning, she and Tony were on opposite ends of the bed, facing away from each other.
