Tony's POV

Jenny was the last person I thought I'd see here tonight although it doesn't surprise me at all. When she decided to leave after our trip to Los Angeles a few years back I knew part of the reason she retired was because of boss, they had a very complicated relationship. I could tell that they loved each other and they knew that too, but I guess at that time they were both too stubborn to admit it or too afraid it might not work

She greeted us all before taking a seat at the table, Gibbs sat the girls in their chairs before taking his seat beside her. We all talked for a while catching up a bit while eating dinner, I smiled watch the interactions between Tali and her mother, she titled as ziva spoke to her in Hebrew while feeding her. The sound of her laughter is the sweetest thing to me now. I never would have thought me Anthony DiNozzo would be so smitten by a little girl, my little girl and now I truly understand the meaning of unconditional love

Once dinner was done the guys all decided to have their wine and desert out in the living room while I entertained the two little girls who were running around laughing together until Tali tripped and fell, Ziva immediately went to her wiping away her tears. She had a little scrape on her knee that ziva tended to

Ziva: all better?

She pouted, so her mom tickled her until she started laughing

Ziva: that's a much better response, no more running angel, I don't want you hurting yourself

Ziva: that's a much better response, no more running angel, I don't want you hurting yourself. Do you want to play with kelev?

Tali: Yes, daddy where is my kelev?

"She called me daddy, she never calls me daddy" I said with a smile Picking up my little pumpkin

Ziva: technically she always calls you daddy, just never in English.

I sat Tali beside her mom then looked through her bag for her little stuffed dog handing it to her, she then ran off to go play with Victoria "I love that kid so much" I said "and I love her mom" I told her capturing her lips with mine

Abby: you guys are so cute together

Ziva's POV

He pecked my lips one last time before we went over to talk with the guys while Tali and Victoria ran around enjoying themselves. It felt like the time flew by so fast, we were all enjoying each other's company but it was getting late, so one by one everyone starred heading out. Tali was already fast asleep on Gibbs chest as he sat holding her while Tony picked up her toys packing them in her bag. We were about to head out when I felt the overwhelming urge to throw up. I bolted to the bathroom where I began throwing up into the toilet

I don't know how long I sat on the bathroom floor throwing up, but after a while Jenny came in

Jenny: I'm sorry, I thought everyone left already

"It's fine, I was just feeling a little............." Before I could finish my sentence I began throwing up again, she came beside my holding my hair back until I was done

Jenny: I'll made you a cup of tea to settle your stomach

"No, it's okay. I'm fine and I should get Tali home" she helped me up from the floor and after flushing the toilet I rinsed my mouth and headed back to the living room where Tony was asleep on the couch. I didn't see Gibbs and and Tali anywhere, so I went into the kitchen where I found him

Gibbs: something on your mind ziva?

"I just wanted to know where you laid Tali, we should be heading home now" I told him and he pulled out a chair for me to take a seat so I did

Gibbs: you wanna tell me what's been going on with you these past few months?

"I've been a little down, but I'm fine now" I assured him. He poured two glasses of whiskey setting one before me "I don't need a drink" I told him and we just sat there in silence for a while

Gibbs: you tell DiNozzo yet?

"He's really happy" I told him

Gibbs: and you? How do you feel about it?

"I'm happy too, this is what I want I'm just..........I'm a little afraid that I might loose this baby like the last one. I didn't know what I did wrong and that scares me because he's so happy. I don't want to take that away from him or myself" I confessed, he stood up and gave me a well needed hug

Gibbs: kid you can't blame yourself for that and no matter what happens he loves you. Don't stress yourself out worrying, just try to be happy. You deserve to be happy

"Ever since I had Tali I've been so emotional" I told him wiping away my tears

Gibbs: that happens. I laid her in my bed upstairs and she can say, so can you and DiNozzo, he's too tired to be driving and he doesn't need to get into another accident. You can take the room down the hall go get some rest kid

He kissed my forehead before I headed back into the living room to wake Tony and brought him into the bedroom with me

Tony: where's my pumpkin?

"She is sleeping will gibbs tonight" I told him while stripping down to my underwear and he did the same

Tony: tonight watching you with Tali got me thinking of a lot of things

"Like what?" I asked

Tony: like us, over the past few years we've been through a lot, but my feelings for you never changed or faded. I love this life we've made together

"So do I" I assured him, he pulled me in close and our lips met for a soft kiss that turned heated faster than we expected, we broke apart when oxygen became necessary "wow" was all I said

Tony: I'm not done with you yet

He pulled me in closer if that was even possible and and squeezed my butt making me giggle, he trailed kissed down my collar bone as I moaned out in pleasure knowing for certain that our night was far from over
