Hey. I'm so sorry I haven't updated sooner. School started again...Argghh...so it'll probably be a few days before I update again.

This one is shorter, but I hope it's better than the last one anyway.

Thanksgiving went by quickly and Rick and Kate were back in New York. Tony and Ziva were coming for Christmas. It was now November.

Kate was sitting at her desk, bored. Castle, who was sitting on the chair next to the desk, playing angry birds, was also getting bored. They didn't have a case and, surprisingly, no paperwork, but they still had to stay at the office. She couldn't even go and see Lanie. Gates wanted them at their desks, even though she knew they had absolutely nothing to do.

Kate was watching Castle, trying to come up with something to do. When she saw his face lit up she asked, "Got an idea on what to do on an ohh so interesting day?"

"As a matter of fact I do. How about we call Tony and Ziva. If they don't have a case we could talk for a while." "That's actually a great idea" She picked up the phone and dialed the number.

At NCIS they didn't have a case either. They didn't even have paperwork to do, which was surprising. Just like in New York this didn't mean they could go home and do nothing. Instead the team had to stay at WORK and do NOTHING. Ziva was drawing circles on her stomach with her finger, Tony was looking for 'something' in his drawer, like he said, McGee was playing some geek game with Abby in her lab and Gibbs, well he was in the director's office doing god only knows what.

Tony suddenly had an idea of what to do. "Hey Zi!" "What?" she said looking up, hopefully he had found something to do. "Come here." She sighed and walked to his desk with her chair.

"How about we call Kate, maybe she doesn't have a case either."

"Okay. It is certainly better than anything I've done for the past hours." "Great!" he exclaimed and grabbed his phone just when it began ringing.

"Damn, I hope we don't have a case." "Can't you see the callers ID?" "No. It's broken." "Figures. Okay pick it up." He picked up the phone with an amused tone.

"Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, how may I help you?" Ziva rolled her eyes and he just smiled. On the other side of the phone he heard someone laughing and then replying,

"Hello Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. Detective Katherine Beckett on the phone."

When Tony heard her voice he put her on speaker since him and Ziva were the only ones in the squad room.

"Hey Kate. I was just about to call you. Don't you have work to do?" he asked with a grinn.

"No. We don't have any case and no paperwork. I've stared at my stomach for the past three hours. What about you?" Tony chuckled.

"Ahh same here. No case. No paperwork. No Probie to annoy and Ziva's been drawing circles on her stomach for the past hours so we thought we'd call you but well you beat us on that. How's it going?"

"Aside of the fact that we are all bored out of our minds, things are great. So how are you Ziva?"

"I'm fine. The little one is growing and growing every day and kicking me on every occasion. What about you?" Kate chuckled.

"I'm fine. I'll be more than happy to see my little girl when she finally shows up." They all smiled and Kate and Rick put a hand on Kate's stomach and Tony and Ziva on hers.

"Yes well you have about a month left. I still have to wait two and a half."

"So still coming for Christmas?" Castle asked even though he knew the answer. They had promised not to miss it, unless something happened. It was Tony's first christmas with Kate and Jim and he wouldn't miss it.

"Of course we're coming. Jenny gave us two weeks off. For some strange reason Gibbs agreed." They all laughed at that.

"Really DiNozzo? Why do you think that is?" Gibbs asked from behind Tony's desk. Nobody had noticed him or Jenny 'til now. "Uhhh..." He slapped Tony on the back of the head and walked away saying they were going out for coffee.

"Was that Gibbs?" Kate asked with a laugh. "Yes" Ziva said trying to hold back laughter. "So anyway we're still coming for Christmas and I hope my niece shows up when I'm in town. I want to know her from the very first day." Tony said with a soft voice.

"Awwww..." The three others said. "Ohh shut up. I'm not being cute." "You said it!" Castle laughed. They talked for a while longer and then got off the phone going back to whatever interesting things they were doing.

Next chapter will be their first Christmas together. Kind of.

Please Review, so I'll know if it's still good or just crap. LoL
