Tony and Kate then looked at each other, stood up at the same time and hugged again. They sat back on the couch after a moment, but this time next to the other.

"What was she like?" Tony wanted to know.

Kate smiled and told him everything he needed to know. "I'm sorry you never got the chance to meet her." she ended.

"Yeah, me too. So you probably don't know but it's worth a try...do you know who my father is?"

"No I'm sorry but I don't" he nodded. "Anyway you and Castle seem happy."

"We are. Ziva is really nice. I'm sorry to hear she went through so much."

"Yeah well everything worked out and we're both reaallyy happy now so..." he was smiling from ear to ear and she asked what made him so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay I'm gonna tell you something I'm not supposed to tell yet but you're family so Ziva will forgive me. She's pregnant. This means you're gonna be an aunt...even if we've known each other for less than a day but well..."

"Wow...that's amazing I'm so happy for you" She couldn't help but think about her own baby and how she was going to tell him. This time she hugged him and they laughed loud.

From the other room Ziva and Rick heard that so they went to check on them. They were hugging and laughing so Castle took a picture because it was so touching…and he just had to do it.

"Okay what did we miss?" Castle asked feeling a little bit left out.

Tony jumped when he felt like something was throwing a punch him and broke their embrace. He was confused. He didn't say anything but made a mental note to ask later and went behind Ziva. He protectively wrapped his arms around Ziva and put a hand on her stomach, still smiling. Ziva noticed where his hand was and saw Kate smiling at the sight of them so she had to ask, now laughing herself.

"You told her didn't you?" "I had to I'm sorry. Our baby's gonna have some blood related family I couldn't keep it to myself" Castle realized what was said. "You're pregnant? Wow that's great congratulation."

After some 'thank you's and hugs Tony was hugging Kate again and felt something like a punch, AGAIN so he went to ask. Kate felt the kick of course and knew what he was going to say.

"Okay Kate now I have to ask, did your jacket just punch

me?" Ziva was confused and Rick was smiling so Kate explained.

"Okay it's only fair. There's something I need to tell you too...or rather show you." She then put her scarf out of the way and said:

"Yes Tony you were kicked. Not by my shirt tough...by your niece." She put a hand over her stomach and smiled. Tony's jaw dropped to the floor and Ziva just smiled and hugged Kate. Tony was still in trance so Ziva slapped him in the back of the head. His reaction was immediate.

"What was that for?" "Well...Kate showed you, you were becoming an uncle and you just fell in some kind of a trance." Ziva answered laughing. "How didn't I notice? I mean I hugged you like a hundred times today and she never punched me. And it's not like your stomach is as flat as Ziva's I should've noticed...what I mean is...you're pregnant? I'm gonna be an uncle?" Kate smiled and nodded. He came towards her and hugged her again. "That's great!"

After a while Kate's phone started to ring so she took it out of her pocket when she looked at the caller ID she swore under her breath.

"What is it?" Castle asked concerned. "It's my dad I forgot to tell him I was out of town and I was supposed to go to his place for dinner tonight." she answered the phone:

"Hey dad...yeah I'm so sorry I didn't call you...no I'm not even in New York...I'm in DC...Yes Washington...WHAT? How do you know about that?...yeah I met him...okay tell me...I don't care I can hear that it's important so just tell me...WHAT? How could it be? In the letter she just told me she was his mother but she never mentioned any of what you're telling me...What do you mean you didn't even know? ...Ok I'll tell him…...yeah I'm fine...she's fine too. I'll call you tomorrow…Love you too...bye." she was so in shock the phone just slipped out of her hand and ended on the floor.

"Kate what happened, are you okay?" Castles voice was concerned and Tony and Ziva both looked concerned too. "Yeah...uhmm...I'm fine...Tony what I said earlier about not knowing who your father was...well now I know."

"What? Who is it? Do you know him?"

"Saying that I know him would be an understatement because he's my father too." Everybody's jaw dropped.

"What?" "Yeah listen I don't know much more. Apparently he also just found out in a letter my...I'm sorry...our mother wrote for him. He said I should tell you..."

"I need to go to New York" "You what?" Kate, Ziva and Rick said at the same time. "You heard me" he turned to Ziva "Are you coming with me?" he asked her."

"Of course I'm coming with you Tony. I love you more than anything. I'd never let you do that alone." he then out a light kiss on her lips and kissed the slightly showing stomach. Kate had to smile at the sight of that and Castle kissed her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Okay we're gonna go back to the hotel and then tomorrow we all book tickets to NY and we all fly there together. Alright?"

Castle suggested. They were all to shaken up by the news so they just nodded and Kate and him left the apartment to go to the hotel.

Later that night

Tony and Ziva were laying in their bed cuddled up together.

"Are you okay?" Ziva asked when Tony was being so silent.

"Yeah I'm fine it's just that...I just found out I have a sister and our child is gonna have a cousin and now we even have the same dad...it's...crazy...and were about to fly down to NY to meet him."

Ziva took his hand. "Hey it is going to be okay. I'm here for you." He kissed her softly and they drifted off to sleep.

Across town

Kate was in Ricks arms that night in bed and she was thinking about everything what happened in the last 24 hours. This is just crazy, she thought.

"What is it Kate? I can hear you thinking."

"It's just that less than two days ago I didn't even know I had a brother and now we have the same father and I'm gonna be an aunt and...this is just so crazy"

"I know but I'm here with you. It's gonna be great okay?" she nodded

"I love you"

With that they both fell asleep.
