Epilogue
Roughly one year later…
Ziva stood in the kitchen icing a cake. The cake was two layers and had blue icing. On the top there was a picture of a teddy bear and a big number one. Ziva smiled as she paused to look at the window at the backyard. Tony as outside with Chaim, chasing him, the puppy that Ziva and Tony had gotten Chaim was chasing Tony, nipping his heels. Ziva smiled and reflected on the past year.
Two months after their undercover sting, Tony and Ziva got married. It was a small ceremony, with only the NCIS family attending. Afterwards, Abby and McGee, who had gotten married a month before Tony and Ziva, watched Chaim while Tony and Ziva went on a short honeymoon. Gibbs and Jenny were still together, taking it one day at a time.
Today was Chaim's birthday and Ziva had planned a small party. Just then, the doorbell rang and Ziva put down the pastry bag and went to the front door to answer it. Standing on the stoop were Abby, McGee, Gibbs, and Jenny.
"Hi," Ziva said as she stepped aside and let them into the house. As Jenny walked by she handed Ziva a covered casserole dish.
"Where are the boys?" Abby asked.
"In the back yard with Dexter," Ziva said, earning her confused glances from all four of her coworkers. Ziva just smiled as the doorbell rang again, and this time, Ducky and Palmer were on the stoop.
"Hi, Ducky," Ziva said, kissing Ducky on the cheek.
"Hello, my dear," Ducky said.
"Everyone is out back," Ziva said. Ducky and Palmer headed out, and Ziva followed them. She stood in the doorway and watched her family. Gibbs had joined Tony in chasing Chaim, while Jenny and Abby were engaged in a conversation. McGee, Ducky, and Palmer just sat and watched Gibb, Tony and Chaim. Tony noticed her watching and jogged over to where she was standing. Tony slipped his arm around her waist and surveyed the scene. Then he leaned over so his mouth was level with Ziva's ear.
"I love you," Tony whispered.
"I love you too," Ziva said. "Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, how would you feel about another child?" Tony stared dumbfounded at Ziva for a moment.
"You mean," Tony said, trailing off. Ziva just smiled and shook her head. Tony whooped loudly. "I'm going to be a dad again!" This statement caused everyone to look up and stare. It was Abby who finally broke the silence by running over to Ziva and hugging her fiercely.
"Congratulations," Abby squealed. Everyone except Gibbs and Jenny immediately surrounded Ziva and Tony. Gibbs wrapped his arm around Jenny's waist, and they smiled at the picture of their family.
