B/N: I've changed my mind on a girl...I decided on twins, a boy and girl and names are revealed within the plot line, as well as how far along she is. The episode is longer and more detailed but I've shorted in, enough to get the jest. McGee also gets some insight into the Haswari marriage as does Fornell.


Jenny Shepherd looked at the married pair before her, it was ironic that they were married and they would be undercover as married assassins...mark one for another irony as one was a former assassin himself.

"I need you both on a mission, its may actually be easy after everything you've faced. We have two assassins and they are dead, we need you to take their place before their contact find out."

Kate and Ari looked at each other and then at Jenny, "easy enough, what do we do?"

She chuckled, "until we find out more, go to the hotel and make it convincing."


Within two hours they stood in the hotel room looking around, after offering money to the bellman, Ari shut the door.

"What do you think my dear?"

Kate smiled, "nice hotel, you went a bit out of budget." She smiled and moved towards, kissing him. She whispered to him, "think of this mission as our honeymoon."

Ari chuckled and eyed her, "that is possible."


Two hours later Kate opened the door to see McGee, she smiled. "Compliments of the hotel management."

"You can put them over there." She pointed to the table and McGee picked up the flowers.

"Of course ma'am, anything else?" He began sweeping for bugs of which both knew, Ari was dressed once again and cleaning his gun while Kate stood in a robe, watching McGee.

Seeing the bed, McGee gulped knowing Kate was prude about many things and sex was one of them but by the looks of things, she hid a deeper passionate side. "Some towels."

"Shall I have the maid make the bed?"

Kate looked at Ari and chuckled, "that won't be necessary, its our honeymoon."

McGee gulped and moved on, finding the bug. "The hotel sends a complimentary cheese tray, we hope you enjoy." He pointed and both looked up, watching as McGee placed the cover over the bug.

He nodded to them and both moved to the camera, McGee gave them both ear wigs and they put in. "Gibbs, we're ready."

"I can see that, what the hell are you two playing?"

Kate shook her head, "just following the director's orders and made it convincing." The phone rang and Ari answered it.

"Yes?"

"Cell phone in the bible," Ari moved to the nightstand and removed the bible, knowing Kate was appalled by the hirer's use of the bible.

"I have it."

"Keep it with you always, you have reservations for nine at the hotel dining room. Don't be late."

Kate looked at him and he smiled after hanging up. "I hope you packed your dress my love, we have dining reservations."

She nodded, "I have one I have yet to wear, the one in Tel Aviv remember...standing outside waiting all day for our contact while I shopped."

McGee rolled his eyes, being with these two was more taxing then being asked for a polygraph and he was horrible at those.


Dinner went as planned, they sat talking till Gibbs spoke, "good eye Ari, keep it up. I want photos of everyone there."

Ari looked at Kate, "do you see anyone you know my love?"

"No one but the night is still young."

After a near find of the hirer, both retreated to their room and played Chess, calming their nerves. Eventually it was time for bed and Kate fell asleep as her head hit the pillow, Ari pulled her into his arms and kissed her neck. "I shall always love you my princess."


The next morning came fun with the FBI apparently, Ari having used scope glasses he had used at Mossad. While Fornell and Gibbs got pissed, Ari and Kate settled in with another game of Chess.

Eventually the FBI woman, Maya showed up as a maid. "I'm here to make the bed."

Kate moved the bathroom after grazing Ari's stomach with her hand, smiling. Maya shook her head and looked at Ari.

"I thought NCIS didn't like inter-office relationships?"

Ari chuckled and shook his head, sitting down with a book. "It is not an inter-office relationship, more of an inter-agency relationship as I am Mossad."

Maya moved to him, "I've been told Mossad produces great officers."

"I'm pregnant." Kate moved out and looked at Ari, "that was the doctor in Montreal, she said we're thirteen weeks."

Ari chuckled and moved past Maya to Kate, whispering in her ear. "A ploy or was the target?"

"Yes."

"I'll leave you now."

The phone rang and Kate answered it, "talk to me."

"I've been told to negotiate a price commensurate with the risk."

"I'm listening."

"A black Lincoln will be waiting out front. Make sure you're not followed."

Kate nodded, "understood."


They waited and Ari watched her as she cleaned her weapon, a habit after doing so everyday in Tel Aviv, sharing it with Ziva. "What do you think of names for a child my love, perhaps Rachel after my mother or Michael after your father."

"Jethro Todd, I like that name. After my father's middle name and my mother's maiden name." She smiled, "but for a girl, what was your aunt's name, the one from Lebanon...Hasmia, Hasmia is a good name, Hasmia Rachel."

Ari chuckled and nodded, "perfect names for perfect children." He leaned down and kissed her, touching her weapon, "you missed a spot."


They went downstairs and caught the elevator but were caught, a gun to their backs. The door opened before they could do anything.

"Not a wise choice, Mister and Mrs. Ranier. Weapons." Their weapons were taken from them and Kate eyed him.

"We do what we do best, we carry to kill. We would have come to the third floor ourselves. Three armed escorts seems a bit excessive."

He chuckled and eyed them, "our location and number in two sentences. Too bad your friends can't hear you."

The second held up a small device, "you're being jammed."

"Bring them to my room, if they resist...kill the woman."

Ari almost took a step forward but Kate's hand stopped him. They walked to the room and as soon as they were inside, they turned to the hirer. "You made only one mistake."

"No you did, by threating those who hire you and you should know, you never leave the business." He nodded, "tie them to the chair."

Kate looked at Ari, "Tel Aviv?"

"Tel Aviv."

"What do you mean 'Tel Aviv'?"

Ari chuckled and quickly kicked the hirer's gun away as Kate kicked the other's. Both quickly disarmed the two men and restrained them, holding them down. Kate finally was greatful for all the Krav Maga moves Ziva taught her and the Mossad training sessions Ari insisted on.

"You made one mistake," Ari looked at the man, "you attempted to harm my wife and child, that is your one mistake." The team busted in at that moment and Kate looked up.

"Handcuffs."

Maya and Tony threw them to the couple and they handcuffed the men, pulling them up. The hirer looked at Ari, "who are you because you are not the Raniers, they shoot not fight."

Kate chuckled and eyed him, "I'm a US federal agent and him, he's Mossad."


The hirer's face dropped as they were pulled away, Kate hugged Ari and smiled. He pulled back and looked at her, touching her arms and face. "You are not harmed, that is good...the child?"

"Baby is safe, God you worry too much." She kissed him passionately as Gibbs showed up, Fornell with him and McGee.

"Damn, when you said they were married..." Fornell looked at Gibbs, "Agent Todd, Officer Haswari good to see you both are alright."

Gibbs walked over as they separated and slapped both their heads, "I got past the marriage but this, are you insane?"

"Gibbs?"

"You're pregnant," he turned to Ari, "she's pregnant...my best agent is pregnant and I'm stuck with one agent down...my best agent. You're lucky I'm not shooting you."

Kate smiled, "if its a boy we're naming him Jethro Todd Haswari."

Gibbs eyed them and smiled, "I'd like that, you two go home and let the FBI handle this."

Gibbs left and Fornell shook his head, leaving. Ari looked at Kate and touched his head, "is that common, slapping your head?"

"Yeah but he's in a good mood so go with it, better then being shot."

Ari chuckled and nodded, "true, he is a complex man, more complex then Ziva."


A/N: I may skip a few episodes, just picking a few I like. I'm also going to have Ziva join later on b/c Ari claims his citizenship by being married to Kate, an American. We'll see how things go...but it will be slow and not as fast as my earlier updates.
