Once Tali had fallen asleep Ziva laid her in the bed. Tucking the blanket around her.
"Ziva." Tony said softly.
"I know you are mad Tony you have every right to be. I should not have kept her from you. I am so sorry." She started.
"Stop." Tony said putting his hands on her hips.
"But." She started but he shushed her again.
"All I care about is that you are alive. We can talk about that later." He said hugging her.
He hugged her as if she would disappear at any moment.
"Tony." She said softly.
He just hugged her tears falling down his face.
"Tony you are hurting me." She said wiggling at little.
"Sorry." He said loosening his grip on her.
"Please let me explain?" She asked.
He pulled her over to the couch and nodded.
"I left, you know why I left. But once I found out about Tali you were already gone. I did not want to interrupt your life more than I already had. And I was afraid to tell you. I knew of your discomfort around children so I decided not to tell you." She started.
"I get that. But Ziva if you had told me you were pregnant. I would have been there for you." Tony said softly.
"I regretted not telling you every day. Watching her grow. Seeing things that I knew you would have loved to see. I wanted to tell you. I just did not know how to." Ziva mumbled.
"Well we are all together now." Tony said taking her hand.
"Yes we are." She said happily. He pulled her into a hug and she sighed contently.
She had missed the feeling of being in his arms.
