Summary: Tony is diagnosed with leukemia and needs to rely on his family for support.
Notes: Tony has a surprise up his sleeve for Ziva. This part was already written before the baby argument so that's not resolved in this one, or the next one but the one after that. Please trust me.

Tony and Ziva were still in the process of moving into their new townhouse. They had the apartment until the end of the moth and were still unpacking whenever they could, and they still had to find time to clean the apartment. Tony had decided to surprise Ziva, after she had gone to Israel he'd put the things he had left behind in storage assuming she would come back eventually, but he never thought that it would end up like it had but he couldn't be happier about it.

He knew he wouldn't be able to rearrange the furniture himself so he'd hired some movers who were meeting him at the storage unit he'd been renting. He planned on changing some of the furniture as well as adding some since there were parts of the townhouse that seemed sparse. He wanted to be their home and a reflection of them both rather than all things that were his. He was going to bring the furniture he didn't want back to the storage unit then decide with her what they would do with everything they didn't want, thinking they would likely donate it to someone who needed it.

He didn't want Ziva to come home in the middle of what he was planning so he'd decided to enlist Abby's help, knowing that she was the only person who could pull them apart for an evening. He just hoped that both women would take the bait, he'd left a spa gift certificate on Abby's desk when he'd gone in with her to see everyone. He missed them while being off and couldn't wait to be cleared to go back to work. He picked up his phone and dialed Abby.

"Tony?" asked Abby, a little confused. "What's up buttercup?"

"I need your help with something,' he told her.

"Sounds intriguing."

He laughed. "I have a surprise for Ziva but it won't be done when she's done work."

"Mysterious. How long do you need me to stall her for?"

"Three hours, four tops."

"Is that why a spa gift certificate appeared magically on my desk this morning?"

He was still surprised he'd managed to pull that off Abby was like a ninja when it came to her lab. He was sure he'd been caught when she'd turned her music on, but he got out of the office and into the lab area fast enough to make her believe he'd come down for a hug, which she gladly gave him. He hoped that she wouldn't go into her office before he left. He had never been to a spa before so he had asked the receptionist what would be a good amount to give to two women, and hoped she'd steered him right, she had given him the stink eye the whole time he was there, and it made him wonder if he might have dated her at some point and he'd forgotten. Now that he had Ziva in his life he regretted that part of his life, but knew he wouldn't be able to change the past.

"It's very likely that's why it's there," he explained. "Is it enough for both of you?"

"Oh heck yeah Tony, you did good!" Abby assured him. "Does this surprise involve food?"

"I won't have time to cook today do you mind? Maybe you can sneak me home some sushi?"

"Good then we'll have lots of time to hang out, sweet. I can totally bring you back some grub, no worries. What are you up to?"

"Abs you know I love you but you're the last person I'd tell right now," he told her.

"Fine, whatever Tony, can I check out this surprise or will it break my brain?"

"You can see it. Ziva would shoot me if I tried something like that."

"True enough," she laughed.

"If you can't get ahold of me remind her I told her an old friend was in town today."

"You sneaky sneak!"

"Whatever I know she'll like it when she sees it I just want it to be a surprise for her. Trust me."

"I might trust you with my life but if Ziva gets mad at me for my part in this I'm blaming it all on you Mister. I've got about a million things to do right now I'll see you later."

"All right, later Abs."

He saw the moving truck he'd gotten pulling to the storage area. He was glad they were on time, he knew he had a lot of work to get done before Ziva got home, ideally late thanks to Abby. Between the three of them they loaded in the boxes which had packed and labeled over a year ago, as well as a couch, a dining room set, some chairs and couple of book cases and headed out the townhouse. When they got there they packed away his old couch, moved his small dining room set into the kitchen where it fit better, placed the chairs and bookcases in the rooms he wanted as well as bringing I the boxes before returning a few things.

Notes: All right so this part I already had written, then went into the reveal of her surprise, but then I decided I wanted to write some Abby hehe sorry for the delay on the baby talk tho.

He headed back to the townhouse glad that it had so far gone quicker than he'd expected. He unpacked a few of the boxes, mostly kitchen things as well as a bedroom set which he put in the wash and hoped he could get freshened up before she got home. Almost everything was where he wanted it but he still had work to do so she could see just how much he had taken care of her things while she'd been gone. He really hoped that she'd be happy that he'd done this for her.

Notes: Think she'll like her surprise? The next part I also added cause I wanted to write Abby. Reviews are good for the soul, let me know what you guys think.
