Soon it was Thanksgiving, Kate was seven months pregnant and after two long months she was finally flying to DC with her father and Rick.

Tony and Ziva were waiting at the airport. When Tony saw Kate he ran towards her and gave her a hug. "Wow, you got big." He said looking at her belly.

"I missed you too" Kate said glaring at him and then laughing along with the three others. Ziva also smacked him to the back of the head, but he didn't feel the need to comment it. After that he hugged his father and shook hands with Rick.

"Anyway...come on let's get to our place." Ziva suggested and they all went there except for Jim who was tired and went to the hotel, promising to meet them the next day. It was thanksgiving after all.

They were all sitting on the couch talking when Tony asked.

"So did you already think of names?" "Yes we have. You?"

"We have too. What do you say...we share only middle names?!" Kate and Rick nodded and Kate told their middle name first. "Johanna" Tony and Kate smiled at each other. "Haley" "It's beautiful" Rick said.

"Yours too. So for the names we picked something Hebrew so I guess you're gonna have to wait to find out ours and we wait to find out yours. Unless you have a Hebrew or Arabic name in mind, in that case we're open for suggestions." They all laughed. After a while Ziva said:

"No seriously we have no idea what we're going to name the baby if it's a boy."

"You have really no idea?" Kate asked.

"No. Well when I was younger I always knew the middle name I would give my son if I had one but that is never going to happen." She said the last part like a whisper.

"Really? What was it?" Rick asked. He could see it wasn't really something she badly wanted to talk about, but he just couldn't help himself.

"Ari but..." When he heard the name Tony interrupted her. "No. Not happening. Never. Not over my dead body." Kate and Rick were a little taken aback by his reaction but hadn't the time to say anything about it.

"I know Tony and I don't want it either. That's why I never told you about this." Ziva sighed. "Hey Zi I'm sorry it's just that...well you know." "I know Tony and like I said; if we have a son I don't want to name him after Ari. He was great when we were kids but I'll hate what he has become forever."

Tony kissed her gently and they turned back to Kate and Rick who had confusion written all over the face. Tony looked at Ziva and she just nodded.

"Okay, remember when I told you my old partner was shot to the head?" They both nodded so he continued, "Well she was shot by Ziva's half-brother Ari."

"God that's awful I'm so sorry Ziva." Kate said ,"What happened to him?" Ziva was going to answere, but Tony was already doing it. "Gibbs shot him in his basement when Ari came to kill him." "Not exactly" Ziva joined in looking down.

"What do you mean 'not exactly'? Gibbs told us that. We thought you might have been there too as you were his control officer but Gibbs and his report told us otherwise." When he saw the guilty look on her face he added -still calm-, "what aren't you telling me Ziva?" "Gibbs lied to protect me from my father."

"You mean you were there?" she nodded, "what could you're father have done? It's not like you shot him yourself. If that was the case, I would understand why he lied, but…"

"Well I'm glad you understand then, because I was the one who killed my brother." Ziva said standing up. Tony's jaw dropped. He wasn't expecting that. He always suspected there was more to the story than they were letting on, but that!

He stood up and wrapped a now crying Ziva in his arms.

"I'm so sorry Zi."

Once she calmed down they got back to the couch.

"I'm sorry about that" She apologized. "It's okay...really!...Anyway I can't wait to hear your baby's name." Kate said changing the subject.

"So what are we doing today?" Rick asked.

"Well...we don't have to, but what do you think we go to NCIS?" Tony suggested. "Tony, nobody's there today. It's thanksgiving tomorrow"

"Ziva, Ziva, Ziva...don't tell me you never did this!?" "Did what?" "Well, every year team Gibbs, -minus you apparently and Gibbs obviously- which means Probie, Abby, Me and Kate, when she was still alive, go to NCIS and talk and have some fun. So what do you think?" he asked with a mischievous grin.

"I'm in." Castle said. Kate laughed. "Really Castle? YOU are in to do something stupid? I'd have never guessed...actually come to think of it I could use a little fun. I'm in if you are Ziva!?"

"Okay you're right my little hairy but. I could use a little entertainment, too." "Ohh I so love you sweetckeeks" Tony kissed her. Now Kate was confused.

"Do I really wanna know why you called him 'My little hairy but'?"

"In my first year with the team we had to go undercover as a married couple. Since then, on occasions, he calls me 'sweet cheeks' and I call him 'my little hairy but'." "Okay"

"Right. Now let's go we only have 'til eight o'clock tomorrow."

"Tony two of us are pregnant. We're not staying up all night!"

"I never said that Ziva. You know I'll never let you and our kid stay up all night." Tony said that with a soft voice.

"That was sweet" Castle said. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think that too." Ziva knew better. "Anyway let's go"

"Wait then why did you say we had until eight o'clock if we don't stay up all night." "Because we're actually going to get some sleep...look, every time we do this at midnight we do a little campfire with mattresses in the middle of the bullpen. But...we have to get outa there at eight" "Why?" Castle asked intrigued.

"Because, for some reason, the director spends thanksgiving in her office every year. We know that because every year we see her car parked in the parking lot. When we leave after a while she goes out and goes to her office. We never asked why because we weren't supposed to be there. Now let's go!" They all took a few things and left.

Hope you liked it. I'm not going to update it before Christmas. Maybe a little before New Year. So, Merry Christmas...!
