CHAPTER 27: A LITTLE MORE THEN A YEAR LATER/THE END...
A LITTLE MORE THEN ONE YEAR LATER...
Four months before Abby had given birth to a baby boy and named him, Cody.
Then just a little over a month before, Ziva had given birth to a healthy baby boy. She and Tony named him, Thomas. However, they usually called him Tommy.
It was a rare day where both families, the Palmers and Ducky were all gathered at Gibbs house for a barbecue.
Cody and Tommy lay beside each other in the playpen. Occasionally Kate would go over to look in the playpen at her sleeping brother and Cousin Tommy.
At first, Kate had been jealous of her new brother and then after a few months she became the best big sister she could be at four years old.
Ziva and Abby sat beside the playpen watching the boys sleep. While Tony and Tim were across the yard near the new barbecue grill trying to help Gibbs get the food ready.
ZIVA AND ABBY...
"I can't believe it! There was a time I said I was never going to get married. Now I have Tim and two kids…I never imagined it." Abby said.
"I know when I worked for Mossad...I never really thought about getting married. It was about staying alive, and then I started to work for NCIS and met Tony. After finally getting to be with Tony, then losing the baby and him, I thought it would never happen, then I came back four years later and now look...I have finally married Tony and we have a baby boy." Ziva said.
"Are you happy now?" Abby asked.
"I couldn't be happier...I just never knew until now." Ziva told her.
"I know, I thought before I met, Tim. That I was so happy just being a Forensic Specialist. Now my life is divided between...Tim, Kate, Cody and my job." Abby replied and looked over to Tim, then to Kate.
"Remember that day that you and everyone else helped me move into my apartment? The same day Tim was tickling, Kate?" Ziva asked. "Yes, I walked over as you and Tony were talking about something." Abby replied.
"I told him about a dream that I had a lot since I lost the baby." Ziva told her. "Do you remember what the dream was about?" Abby asked a little curious.
"Tony and I had our child, but I don't know if it was a boy or girl. I never saw the child's face, but I saw Tony tickling our child. I was kind of surprised that day, because everything in my dream happened...Except it was Tim tickling Kate." Ziva finished.
TONY AND MCGEE...
"So how has life been for you and Ziva since Tommy was born?" Tim asked.
"I think I've forgotten how to sleep. How did you survive?" Tony asked. "It gets easier." Tim assured him. "I never thought this would come for me and Ziva, but you and Abby..." Tony began.
"What about me and Abby?" Tim asked. "You're first impressions of each other after talking on the phone is, she thought you sounded cute and you thought she sound the same way. Even Kate, before she died, knew." Tony told him.
"Kate guessed Abby and I would get together?" Tim asked. "Yep, both of us did. We knew you wouldn't do anything though as long as there was rule 12." Tony said.
"When rule 12 was taken away everything changed." Tim said. "I know...I almost lost Ziva. But you finally got to be with, Abby." Tony said.
"Now we have our whole family back together again. I don't know what would have happened and do not even want to think about it, if Ziva wouldn't have been in the airport that day and found, Kate." Tim told him.
"You and Abby..." Tony began. "Would have probably been torn apart and then there would have been no more team at NCIS. Abby would have left me and none of us would have been able to work together ever again." Tim told him.
"Nah, you, and Abby have always fought, and then worked things out to remain best friends. Ziva and I were different..." Tony began.
"Not that different. You two would always bicker at each other and there were times when you two couldn't seem to work together, but you always did." Tim told him. "I guess you're right, Probie." Tony replied.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER...
Gibbs called out dinner was ready and everyone gathered around the picnic tables Gibbs had built.
There was a stir, and then Cody and Tommy began to cry from the playpen.
Ziva got up to get Tommy, as Abby got Cody. Breena had an almost two-year-old Sean in her lap.
"I would like to make..." Tony began.
"No bad jokes or pranks, Tony." Abby joked and everyone laughed.
"I was going to say…I would like to make a toast to all of us finding our way home to each other...It may have been a long road, but we finally made it home." Tony said and everyone raised his or her cups.
Therefore, the night went on with eating and talking.
Only when Kate started to fall asleep in Tim's arms did the party end and everyone headed home.
They had been at Gibbs house all day and the next day was Sunday. It had now become a tradition a little more than a year ago to gather a Gibbs house every Saturday.
Gibbs and Ducky had retired at the same time about six months before, making Tony head of the team and Jimmy Palmer the new M.E.
When Tony and Ziva or Tim and Abby needed a baby sitter some of the time they turned to Gibbs, Sarah McGee had been thrilled when she found out she was going to be an aunt the first time and even more thrilled when she found out she was going to be an Aunt for a second time. She was always happy to babysit for her niece and nephew, as well as Tommy DiNozzo.
After everything that had happened, it just seemed that life just could not get any better.
THE END
