Family First (NCIS)

Chapter 14. Decisions

Tony's POV

I woke up at seven in the morning with my ninja snuggled up on my chest, we were both still naked and a smile formed on my face as I thought back to last night's events.

I had to be to work this morning and didn't want to wake my sleeping ninja so I gently laid her on the pillow beside, but that still ended up waking her from her sleep

Ziva: morning already?

"Yes sweet cheeks, but you could sleep in if you want. I'll pick you and Tali up on my lunch break and take the two of you home" I told her getting out of the bed

Ziva: no, it's okay. Tali and I have got some shopping to do so we should get an early start. Could you grab my bag from the car? I need a shower and I always keep a change of clothes for Tali and me on hand and I picked up your dry cleaning it's in the trunk

"I don't know what I'd do without you" I told her kissing her cheek. I got dressed and headed out to our car where I got her bag and my suit, when I returned inside the house Tali was at the table with Jenny and the boss who fed her cereal

Tali: daddy where did you go?

"I didn't go anywhere" I told her

Tali: I didn't find you anywhere and I didn't see my Ima. Where did she go?

"Just a few days ago I barely understood a word you said, now your saying everything" I told her and she giggled "I see you made a new friend" I continued and she smiled

Tali: yes, her is coming home with us so we can play with my toys

"Well you two can work that out later, eat your breakfast so I can give you a bath" I told Tali

Jenny: I already gave her a bath. She just needs a change of clothes. You can go ahead and get ready for work, we're fine here just leave her things for me to dress her

I left her bag for jenny and headed into the shower with Ziva wrapping my arms around her from behind. I kissed along the sides of her neck earning a pleasure filled moan from my ninja

Ziva: Tony

She turned to face me and I picked her up, her legs were wrapped around my waist as I held her up against the wall nipping at her sweet spot on her neck as she moaned out in pleasure wrapping her legs around my waist, her moans became louder so I used my fee hand to cover her mouth while I pleasured her over and over again up against the shower walls

We both stood there for a while letting the warm water run down our bodies as we tried evening out our breathing "that's a good start to the day" I told her as we got out of the shower

Ziva: I wish it didn't have to end there, but we're finishing this when you get home tonight

"I'm looking forward to that" I told her. After getting dressed we both headed into the living room where Tali sat on the bosses lap while Jenny sat beside them watching as they got lost in conversation

Ziva: she seems to be really getting along with them

Jenny: I almost didn't see you there. Good morning Ziva

Ziva: good morning. Tatelah  your abba tells me you've made a new friend.

Tali: her is coming play with kelev and me

Ziva: that sounds like lots of fun, we have to take Abba to work first, are you ready to go?

Gibbs: he can ride with me

"Bye pumpkin" I gave Tali a kiss on the forehead then kissed ziva's cheek before heading out with the boss for what I expected to be a silent ride to the office

Gibbs: DiNozzo I'm glad the job didn't stop you from having a personal life. You did good for yourself and your about to become a dad all over again

"Yeah, I remember a time when the thought of kids freaked me out, but it's different once you actually get to experience being a parent. I love my little girl with everything in me and I'll love the next little DiNozzo just the same" I told him

Gibbs: you shouldn't hold off on asking her, she loves you and she's happy with this new life she has with you

I knew he was referring to my upcoming proposal plans, a few weeks ago I bought an engagement ring but I just don't know how to ask her. I know she's happy with me, but I don't want to make her feel like I'm rushing her into this relationship

Gibbs: your over thinking this, she's happy with you, this is the kind of life she wants to have and your the only person she wants to have it with

The remainder of the car ride was silent. I took in everything he said to me ansnhe was right. I don't want to waste anymore time when it comes to Ziva and me. I bought this ring because she's who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I made up my mind to ask her sometime this week

When we arrived in the bullpen together we met McGee and Bishop already seated at their desks, after greeting them we did the same. Boss seems happy he's been smiling more and the person behind that is our former red haired director Jenny Shepard, I know rule 12 had to do with her, they didn't work out in the past, but they seem to be working out pretty well now. Happiness is meant for everyone and I'm glad he found his

I opened my desk drawer taking out the little black box I left there a week ago, I opened the box taking out the engagement ring looking down on it

Ellie: that's a really beautiful ring, when are you planning on asking her?

I looked up to bishop who stood over my desk "I was just thinking and I think I'll just go for it. She's the only person I see myself being happy with, so I think I'm ready" I told her

Ellie: I think so too

I had a lot of thinking to do. I've never been so great when it came to matters of the heart, but letting ziva get away from me is one mistake I'll never repeat. I had my mind made up to ask her the next time I saw her, this is what I want and I'm gonna go for it
