Summary: Tony is diagnosed with leukemia and needs to rely on his family for support.
Notes: Abby and Ziva have a good chat when they have a girls' evening. This was another part I added on the fly. I hope you'll like it the baby stuff will be resolved in the next one promise.

Ziva was surprised when she saw Abby standing in front of her desk after they had finished up a case. Ziva just wanted to get home but couldn't ignore her friend. She knew that she still had a lot to talk about with Tony, but maybe taking a small break would help her to clear her mind. Abby always had a way to put a positive spin on any situation, and she hoped that she might be able to offer some advice since she had known Tony for so long, if the opportunity presented itself.

"What is going on Abby?" Ziva asked.

"A friend gave me a gift certificate thought I'd like to share with one of my besties," she explained.

"What kind of gift certificate?"

"To the spa, I think it'll be nice for us to do something relaxing and that we've never done before."

"That sounds nice, are you sure you want to share your gift?"

"I don't think it would be well used solo, what'd you say?"

"Sure it sounds like fun. Tony mentioned an old friend was in town, so yes Abby I will go with you." She also agreed to go because she wanted to ask Abby what she thought about the argument they'd had the night before.

"Great!"

They left the office each taking their own cars, not wanting to back to the Navy Yard before they had to. Abby didn't want to suggest they drop Ziva's car off at her place in case it gave away Tony's surprise, but she had to think of a way to get to see what he had done. They looked at what the spa offered and chose pedicures as well neck and shoulder massages. They were each given a glass of wine as they waited, and as they sipped on it Ziva tried to get her mind off of what had happened, wanting to relax with her friend.

"I can hear you thinking from here, what's up?" asked Abby.

"Tony and I had an argument last night. He is not sure he wants to have children," she explained.

"And you want kids?"

"Yes, I do. I know that might surprise some people but I do, I always have."

"Just give Tony some time to think about it. He didn't say he never wanted kids did he?"

"No, he told me he did not know he told me no when I tried to force his hand, but he told me he was not sure. Perhaps I overreacted a little."

"Tell him that. I mean it's not surprising he's not sure. Tony doesn't really like kids much so he usually avoids being around them. I mean until Jimmy adopted Celeste I never saw him pick up a baby."

"Really?" Ziva asked.

"Yeah, he was so nervous the first time he held her, but I think he's learning because of her, but that doesn't mean he feels like he can do it for himself. Besides you know how he grew up, Senior wasn't a great example as to what a parent should be. He's probably just scared, and if you let him think it out he'll tell you what he really wants."

"Thank you Abby I should not have put him on the spot like that."

The both wanted a second glass of wine, but decided against it, knowing they would need to drive home. They got the pedicures first, chatting about past boyfriends and things, leaving the possibility of children on the back burner. They were both quiet through the massages, grateful for the gift, even if Ziva didn't know where it had come from. After they were done at the spa, they decided to go for sushi. They sat down and ordered.

"Should be bring some home for Tony?" Abby asked.

"He may have eaten," Ziva reasoned.

"True, but you know how he is with sushi, I've seen him eat twenty four California rolls as a snack."

Ziva laughed. "You are right we should bring him something back."

"Maybe it can be a peace offering?"

Ziva was glad that Abby had wanted to go out that day. It gave her a whole new perspective on her fight with Tony. She would be glad to get home to talk to him and hopefully they would find a solution together. The spa and meal had been a great idea and exactly what she needed after the night before. She was exhausted, hardly having slept without Tony beside her.

"I think that is a good idea. I should not have gotten so mad because he was being honest with me," she told her friend.

"You have the right to be upset about it, but I think the more time he spends with Celeste the more he'll realise he can figure it out, and be great with his own little DiNozzos," Abby explained.

"I hope you are right. I know that we are not ready for children soon, but I would like it to be a possibility in the future."

"I hope it'll happen, little podgy DiNozzo-David babies would be so adorable!"

Ziva laughed. "Tony was a very cute baby."

"I'm sure you were too Ziva. I want that it happens for both of you whenever you guys are ready. Right now I'm just happy you're home and found finally admitted that Tony was your Sweet Baboo!"

She nodded. "I do as well Abby. I am lucky he gave me another chance. What in the world is a sweet baboo?"

Abby laughed. "It's from Peanuts."

"What does a peanut have to do with it?"

"Not a peanut, Peanuts the cartoon. We may need to give you a crash course in classic North American cartoons before you settle down and have babies."

The server came back with their food, and they decided to again change subject. Enjoying having a good time together. It wasn't often they got to do it, and they hoped they would do it again; they might even invite Bishop the next time, but going just them had been nice.

"So what are you going to do when Tony comes back to work?" Abby asked.

"I have no idea," Ziva sighed. "I would like a job where I can help people. I want to do something different I am tired of being in danger and hurting other people even if it is needed."

She nodded. "Why do you think I hang out in my lab?"

"You are right, I know I will figure it out."

"I know you will too, but I'm happy that this time I still get to see you when you leave."

Ziva smiled. "I am too Abby."

The two women finished their dinner, and got an order of all of Tony's favourites before they headed home. Abby was curious about Tony had planned for her and hoped that whatever it was would also end their fight. She didn't like the idea of her friends not getting along. They went to the townhouse the couple now lived in and pulled into the driveway, Ziva still had no idea that Tony had been working all day to change their home around.

Notes: So that's my little add on. I hope you liked it. Everything will be sorted out in the next one. Let me know if you like this. Gosh Abby is fun to write.
