My exams start this Friday and I need to study as I don't want to fail. I don't know when I will be updating again but I will try to update as soon as possible. Thank you all for reading so far. It really means a lot to me. <3

Ziva's POV

I'm four months pregnant at the moment and I'm starting to show. Next week I'll be able to find out the sex of the baby but I don't want to do it without Tony. It's been already three months since Tony disappeared. I don't know how much longer I can do this without him. I miss him more than you can imagine. Every single day there is something that reminds me of Tony, especially now with the baby. I can't even look down or hold my hand against my slowly growing belly, without thinking of Tony. The team doesn't know that Tony is the father yet. They believe that it is my secret boyfriend, who I was arguing about with Tony right before he went missing. I don't know how I am supposed to tell the team that Tony is the father. Not without Tony at least.

We always imagined that if something like this would ever happen, we would tell the team together. We would make everyone come down to Abby's lab. We would wait until everyone was seated and Tony would stand in front of the team. He would start off with saying that he has a girlfriend and that would be my cue to step forward. We would watch the look on their faces before continuing. After the news we would get crushed in hugs and everyone would say congratulations. Tony and I came up this plan about two months before it happened. We were both bored so we decided to think of ways to tell the team about us. Like when he would have proposed or like now when I would have been pregnant. We never imagined that one of us had to tell the team alone.

I'm currently sitting in Abby's lab like I always do when there's nothing for me to do. The team knows about my pregnancy by now. I mean I couldn't hide it much longer when my belly started growing. Abby's been so excited for me ever since we saw the results together. She has already dragged me to the mall to buy clothes for the baby. It took me half an hour to make her calm down and realize I don't even know the sex yet. She's still wondering who the father is though. Everyone is wondering it. I notice it when we're not working. They ask me questions and their plan is that I accidently say something about the father. I try to pretend I don't notice but make sure I don't say anything about him. My ringing phone pulls me out of thought. I grab my phone and freeze as I see the name appearing on my screen. Abby looks over my shoulder to the screen and I can feel her tense too. Tony.

Abby immediately starts her computer to track the phone. She gives me the okay sign and I pick up the phone. The only thing I hear is the familiar sound of the
heavy door closing. The same sound as back when I was stuck there too and they threw me into Tony's arms. It's silent for a couple more seconds before I hear someone softly coughing and groaning. Next I hear someone saying my name on that side of the line. A voice I would recognize everywhere. Tony's voice. I say his name and I ask him if he's okay but the only thing he can say is my name again. Then the line gets shut off. Just in time so Abby can't track it. Abby smashes her fists against her desk and I grab the first thing I see to throw it at the wall. Actually it ends against the door right before it got opened. McGee peaks in clearly thinking that he's going to get something against his head. He opens the door when he sees us and gives us our food asking what happened. Abby tells him while I just stare of into space.
