It was just over an hour when Tony began to stir. Jethro was at his side instantly.
"Tony?"
"Yeah? Why am I on your couch?"
"You fell asleep in the front yard. We thought you would rest better here."
"Was so damn tired."
Jethro watched Tony stretch the best he could with the soreness of the amniocentesis. "How do you feel now?"
"Better. At least like I can keep my eyes from shutting on their own. I don't want to but I think I need to sleep this weekend."
"That's fine. How else do you feel?"
"I should eat, well I should eat both ways."
"Ziva should be here any time. Tim said he would make sure she got over here."
"I am here. How are you feeling?"
"Better. I uh I'm a little hungry."
Holding out her hand Ziva said, "Come with me." She had a small smile.
"I'll make some lunch." Gibbs said heading towards the kitchen.
"This is killing him isn't it?" Tony asked.
"No Tony it is not. But it does not make him happy."
"Yeah come on, before my headache shows up."
"I wish it could be him Tony."
"I know Z, it's okay."
"Are you up to our usual or would you prefer a different position?"
"No I think you on top will be best, I don't think bending will work very well for me for a few days."
"Then I shall come to you."
Over the year Tony had found the position that worked best for everyone. For Ziva it was him lying on his back and her riding him, Abby preferred to be on her side him behind her, Tim honestly preferred to be on his back and looking up at Tony. That one still made Tony smile. Jimmy had found that when they actually had sex to taken from behind in a clichéd kind of way.
Since the first night when he was with Jethro, they had always made love face to face with Jethro taking him.
"Will you be okay for lunch?" Ziva asked.
"Um Jimmy and I have ways, it will be alright."
Ziva nodded as she folded her shirt and laid it on the chair. Turning she stilled Tony's hands and finished unbuttoning his shirt. Then continued on to his loose fitting jeans. Once they were removed, Ziva kissed the bandage and laid a light hand on his stomach.
"Z…" Tony's voice dropped several octaves.
"Shush…I am saying hello to my niece or nephew."
Tony stilled and tried not to cry.
"You will be a wonderful father Tony. You worry too much not to be. You will make sure they have the best childhood they can because yours was not." Ziva kissed Tony's cheek and gently guided his towards the bed. "Now let me feed you so that you and little one can stay healthy."
Tony nodded and Ziva smiled. Settling over Tony's hips Ziva kissed him. Lifting up she held Tony's cock up and sand down onto it. Both of them moaned and Tony whimpered.
"This alright?"
"Yeah muscles are sore. Come here."
Ziva leaned to Tony's right keeping her weight off of his tender left side. "Take more today Tony. It will help you heal from the test."
Tony wanted to say no but knew she would argue with him. He only nodded and sank his teeth into her neck when they came.
Tony drank several mouthfuls and felt everything slip away. The fatigue, mild ache in his neck and even the tenderness of his side lessened. Even the mild heartburn he had been feeling since waking up was gone.
Releasing Ziva's neck she sighed and slid to his side curling up around him. "Better?"
"Yes. Not as uncomfortable as before."
"Good. I'm going to take a little bit of a nap." With that Ziva fell asleep in Tony's arms.
Tony shifted a little so he could watch her sleep. Looking up when he heard the door open, he gave a small smile when he saw Jethro.
"I think the stress is getting to everyone Jet. We all seem run down."
Gibbs curled up behind Tony and watched Ziva sleep.
"Do think maybe I should give everyone a vacation for a couple days?" Tony asked. They had been his meals for months. Maybe for a few days he should take a few new lovers. He hated the idea but he was sure everyone needed a break.
"We are good Tony."
"No Jet I'm serious. You five are the only ones who remember that I'm even there. I think we should ask the enclave about that. I had forgotten that."
"Huh yeah I had to. Never thought about it at all really."
"Might be because you knew about it before hand? It's the only thing I can work out."
"Could be."
"I know you don't want me drinking from strangers Jethro. But with all this stress I want to just for the weekend. Let everyone catch up on sleep and blood."
"No I understand it. Michele said they had people at the enclave. Maybe there is one of the …the polywhats its."
"Polycythemia." Tony offered the missing word.
"Yeah."
"I can ask. At least we would know they are safe and willing up front." Tony felt Jethro nodded behind him.
Tony laid his head down and was snuggled into Ziva as Jethro got comfortable behind him. Within minutes they all were asleep.
About two hours later Ziva woke to find Tony curled into Jethro and Jethro's leg tangled into both her and Tony's legs. She smiled at the couple. They looked so peaceful. Sitting up she stretched and walked to the bathroom to clean up.
Returning to the bedroom she found Jethro awake and rubbing Tony's arm. "He seems restless all the sudden."
Ziva sat back down on the bed and joined Gibbs in trying to calm their lover. Before too long Tony sat up with a short scream.
Jethro pulled Tony into his arms. "Shush its alright we're here. Its okay."
"Oh god. That's been…wow its been a while since I had that nightmare." Tony was shaking and shivering.
Pulling the comforter up around Tony, Ziva sat behind him offering as much warmth as she could. His skin was ice cold.
"I dreamt of," swallowing Tony tried to finish. "I dreamt about Jeffery White and Sergeant Atlas."
"You're here and safe Tony." Ziva whispered rubbing her hands up and down his arms trying to warm them.
"I know. It shows up sometimes. It's been almost a year since I had it last. I guess it was time." Tony shivered once more and said, "I'm going to go take a shower. It's the only think that will warm me up now." Kissing first Jethro then Ziva, Tony climbed out from between them. Turning back towards them he wrapped their arms around each other. "I'll be out in a few. You're both cold to."
Once the shower started Jethro laid back on the bed. Ziva curled up around him. "He told me about that nightmare once."
Ziva listened as Gibbs told her about Tony being trapped in the sewers and then eight months later being chained to the serial killer turned thief.
She had heard pieces of the stories over the years but never the full story.
"He wants to ask the enclave about using their donors for the weekend."
Ziva sat up quickly looking towards the bathroom. "No Gibbs, No."
"No Ziver, he right we could all use a weekend off. We are all stressed with the pregnancy, the move, Vance and well just six months of feeding him."
Sighing Ziva understood. "Yes I suppose it would be a good idea. Will you be alright?"
Jethro shrugged. "I'll be fine."
"If I don't get to use that word you don't either." Tony said from the door, towel around his waist.
Jethro shrugged, "I'll deal with it."
"I promise I will be here as soon as I can and do whatever you want to do."
"I just want you home for bed." Jethro said pulling Tony down onto the bed, kissing his forehead.
"How do you feel?"
Tony shrugged. "Better. Side is mildly tender." He pointed to the puncture wound from the test, or what should have been the spot. "All healed."
"What about on the inside?" Ziva asked.
"Good I guess. Rugrat isn't trying to drive me nuts at the moment. I had some pretty bad heartburn earlier but it's gone."
"Did you mention it to Ducky?" Jethro asked.
"No if I get it again I will."
Ziva picked up Gibbs's hand and set it on Tony's stomach, and placed her hand next to his.
Jethro raised an eyebrow, but didn't speak.
"I wanted to hug rugrat goodbye but did not want to without Daddy."
Jethro smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Goodbye Ziva. Will you tell the others not to worry for a few days?"
She nodded, taking her clothes and entering the bathroom to get dressed.
"You told her?"
"I mentioned it. Neither of us likes the idea but we can accept it."
Tony grinned as Jet's hand started to move in circles on his still flat stomach.
"Wonder when rugrat will be big enough to make themselves known?"
"Just have to wait and see on that one. When do you want to call Michele?"
"In a bit. Let's go pick up some stuff from the apartment and take them out to the house."
"What do you want to take?"
"Clothes I suppose and a few boxes that I have tucked that I never unpacked."
"Why are you keeping things you haven't unpacked in over a decade?"
"Their things from my mom. I don't need them but I won't get rid of them."
Jethro nodded in understanding.
"Plus a few things from schools and…"
"No I get it its fine. Do you want to take any of your movies over?"
"No boxes." Tony said.
"There are a few places we could pick up boxes on the way." Jethro offered.
"Naw it's alright. Think I might just hire a company to pack it all up and put it in a truck then we can just unload it into the garage."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I'm not sure how much moving I should be doing." Tony said with a shrug. "If I pay someone then I'm only moving it once and at a pace I can set."
Jethro smiled. "Alright, we'll get your clothes. Why don't we take my truck and your car? We can put the dresser in the truck and your closet in the car. We can bring some of it over here till we get the house set up."
Tony nodded and sat up. Guess I should get dressed. It will take a little while and I still need to make sure it will be okay with Michele."
