"Jethro honey, I've been thinking. We need to tell our parents. Before someone slips up and tells them. They'll be very hurt and upset if they found out we told the team first."

"I know, what do you want to? Call them? Your dad will have a heart attack."

"Look, are you still off work next week?"

"Yeah, we going home?" He asks with hope in his eyes.

"Together as a family." I confirm.

"We're gonna shock a lot of people." Jethro's laughing wholeheartedly with me.

"Since when have we cared what other people think of us?"

"True!"

The team are coming over this afternoon for a pool party. Jethro, in his infinite wisdom decided that we shouldn't tell them. I should just wear a bikini and let them work it out themselves. But I reasoned we can't do that because DiNozzo will be salivating everywhere. The girls are so excited because Abby will be there and promised to teach them how to do a duck dive.

Ducky arrived first well ahead of time bringing Abby and Tim with him.

"How are you feeling so far?" Ducky asked while Abs, Tim, Jethro and the twins are outside playing. I'm in the kitchen preparing a light salad for lunch to go with the slow cooked baked potatoes and steaks we've had cooking for the last 10 hours.

"Great. Mostly. We are telling today. You don't have to act surprised."

"Tim and Abigail already suspect something. DiNozzo's still got no clue." Ducky picks up a knife and chopping board and begins cutting up vegetables for my salad.

"Well, sadly I'm sure even agent DiNozzo can figure it out." I pull my kaftan tight across my stomach. "I'm showing already. Have been for the last 2 weeks."

"Oh Katherine, you're pregnant. Of course, you'll show eventually. Didn't you show with the twins?"

"Not this early Ducky. I keep asking George is there only one baby in there. But there is. It's just a big baby."

"How far along?"

"13 weeks on Monday. We are off to Stillwater to tell our parents and for the summer block party."

"Sounds exciting. You're supposed to be taking it easy though."

"Oh I will be. This is my vacation."

"Hey, Tony's here." He announced himself just as I walked out onto the deck. He must have come in through the side gate.

"Jethro, come on lunch is ready."

"Yum Katherine, I'm famished." Tim says smiling.

"I thought we were ordering pizzas." Jethro is menacing a look at me.

"I thought I'd make it a healthy lunch. I didn't even do much. The steaks and potatoes on slow cook, that you will serve! And a salad which Ducky made most of."

"Relax Jethro she isn't an invalid." Ducky warned.

"She's pregnant Ducky!" The team just gasped! "She's supposed to be taking it easy."

"I'm sure that Dr. Borelli will agree with me, she can maintain doing any and all activities she was before she got pregnant but not increase. Slow cooking and a salad is ok. Look, I know you love her and the baby. But relax a bit Jethro"

"Umm, what baby?" DiNozzo's asking looking around.

"The one in Mommy's tummy" Lucy supplied.

"You're pregnant?!" Tony asked gobsmacked.

"Yeah right, just friends!" Abs added. "You owe my $50 Tony. Pay up sweet cheeks!"

"You're not surprised abs?" Jethro asked.

"Nah, me and Timmy have known for over a month! We accidentally overheard you and Ducky talking about it one day. Figured you'd tell us all soon. Kat, don't stress babe! You look great, glowing even."

"Thanks Abs."

Jethro POV

Telling the team, obviously didn't go according to plan. But it was received well. Everyone was wrapped in news. Let's just hope it's as well received back home as it was here.

After an eventful games night the twins fell asleep on the sofa and I carried Zoe while Ducky carried Lucy to bed. Abby, Tim and Tony left and Ducky left shortly after.

"Look Kat, I'm sorry about the way I acted. I'm know I'm overprotective."

"And overbearing..but I love you."

" I love you too." I kissed her. Laying her down into the sofa. "Come on Kat, upstairs to the bedroom."

The next day we set out for Stillwater.

A/n: I promise to update sooner. Reviews pleeeeease?! I need motivation.
