December 2016

For the second time in his life, Anthony DiNozzo Junior stood in the doorway of his bedroom, watching his wife cradle their daughter. It might be a different doorway to a different bedroom, in a different house, and his wife was cradling their second daughter, but Tony could not believe how lucky and blessed he had become.

Ziva looked up and saw Tony watching her.

'Is that food?' she asked. Tony smiled and walked over to Ziva with the plate of food. It was almost 2pm and Ziva hadn't eaten since the early hours of morning. He kissed the top of her head as he sat down next to her.

'I called Abby. She and Tali are on their way.'

'Last chance to change our minds about the name' said Ziva, picking up some fruit off the plate.

'No' said Tony. 'It's perfect.'

They leaned back against the pillows, watching the newest member of their family. After having such a smooth birth with Tali, Ziva wanted to have another homebirth. As with Tali, they did not know the sex of the baby before it was born, and discovering it was a girl had been wonderful. Ziva was overjoyed that Tali was going to have a little sister. Tali had gone to Abby's for a girls' night whilst Ziva was in labour. Senior was out of town for a few more days, and Tony and Ziva didn't want Tali to be scared or confused as to what was happening.

Their vacation in Israel and Europe was the exact thing that Tony and Ziva needed. They spent a few days in Tel Aviv with Schmeil and then a week in Haifa with Aunt Nettie. After that, they flew to Berlin for a week, and then drove to Paris. Tony had wanted to do a road trip for a while, and so they drove the ten hours between the two cities, Tali in the back. They stayed in Paris for another week, showing Tali all the sights. Ziva had inherited an off-the-books safe house from Eli, meaning that they always had somewhere to stay.

28th June was Tali's second birthday. Abby helped organise a teddy bear (or any toy friend) picnic, held again at the Yards Park. Obviously, Tali had a much better idea what was going on, and loved running around the park with her friends.

Tony and Ziva announced Ziva's pregnancy at Ducky's Fourth of July party, not wanting to steal Tali's birthday thunder. Ziva was fifteen weeks pregnant then. Tali ran over to her Papa and couldn't help but show off her new t-shirt that said Big Sister across it. Everyone, was of course thrilled with the news. Especially Senior. He was going to have another grandchild!

They moved into their new house, in Alexandria, in September, having placed a successful offer in July. Whilst they had been in Israel and Europe, Team Gibbs had repaired Tony and Ziva's apartment. But given what had happened there in May, and the baby due in December, they couldn't stay there for very long. Tali was in need of more space as well. Tali was also going to be a flower girl at Tim and Delilah's wedding.

The house had four bedrooms; the master for Tony and Ziva, one for Tali, one for her sister and a guest room, in case Nettie came for a visit, which she threatened to do on more than one occasion. Downstairs there was a kitchen that Ziva fell in love with the second she saw it, a big family room that Tony said was perfect for movie nights, and a large garden, big enough for the climbing frame that Tali had commissioned Gibbs to build. The house also had a basement, which had recently been renovated to have its own entrance.

Tony and Ziva had big plans for the basement.

The basement was now the office for Bean and Bug Photography. Named after the nicknames they had given their daughters when Ziva was pregnant, Tony and Ziva decided to set up their own studio. They discussed it at length whilst on vacation. They specifically looked for a house that could accommodate a small studio space. Ziva had gained more clients since shooting her first wedding with Bob the photographer, and she decided to leave Education Restart after three years and become a full-time professional photographer.

After a bit of painting and the addition of furniture, equipment and blackout blinds, the basement made the perfect studio. Ziva had decided that she was going to focus on family portraits, events, and wedding photography, as well as offer her services to charities, NGOs and military personnel (currently serving and former) at a reduced rate. Ziva had a few shoots before the baby arrived, and from March 2017, had at least two bookings a month, not to mention five weddings over summer 2017. Before her maternity leave, Ziva had started to train Tony as her second shooter for larger events. Ziva would be the photographer, Tony would do the admin and look after their girls as well.

Money was not much of an issue. They continued to rent out Tony's old apartment as it brought it regular income. Ziva's inheritance from Eli had been larger than some people had thought. They had been able to put down a large deposit which meant that their mortgage was not as big as it could have been, and after putting some aside for their daughters, there was enough of Eli's money left over, and both Tony and Ziva had saved diligently as well as invested over the years.

The doorbell rang. Abby and Tali had arrived. Ziva put her new daughter in the basinet and Tony went down to get Abby and Tali.

'Dada! Is Bug here?' asked a curious Tali. Tony bent down and picked her up.

'Yes, Bug is here. Let's go see.' He led the way to the master bedroom.

'Ima!' cried Tali when she saw her mother.

'Hi Tali bean.' Tali climbed onto the bed and hugged her Ima. Tony went to the other side of the bed, Tali in the middle, and Abby perched at the foot. 'Tali, say hello to your sister.' Ziva picked up the baby from the bassinet. She didn't want Tali to see her holding the baby when she came back with Abby.

'You two make the cutest babies' said Abby, quietly as Tali kissed her sister's forehead. 'Does she have a name yet?'

Ziva and Tony looked at each other and smiled. They already had boy's name, William Anthony, from when Ziva was pregnant with Tali. They needed a new girl's name and whilst they had the perfect middle name, they had struggled for some time with the first name.

'This is Matilda' said Ziva, gently. 'Matilda Abigail.' Tony and Ziva smiled at Abby, who looked moved beyond words.

'You guys' she said, quietly, and hugged Ziva, then Tony.

'We want you to be Matilda's godmother as well' said Tony.

'Of course.' Abby sounded very happy. 'Can I hold her?' Ziva shifted Matilda out of her arms and into Abby's. Abby had decided years ago that she wasn't going to have children of her own. Her work and lab were her life. However, having nieces, nephews and godchildren was exactly Abby's style.

Abby passed Matilda back to Ziva, who placed her carefully on Tali's lap, thought supported by both parents. They had been a little concerned that Tali would be too rough with the baby. Tony handed his phone to Abby. She stood up and took a picture. That night everyone got a message from Tony and picture of the four DiNozzos.

'At 10.36 am on 12th December 2016, Ziva DiNozzo gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Matilda Abigail DiNozzo.'

As the afternoon progress, Tony and Tali stayed in the master bedroom with Ziva and Matilda. Abby went home about an hour after meeting Matilda. They face timed with Senior, who would come and meet Matilda as soon as he got back to DC. Tony's phone kept buzzing all day with messages of congratulations. Gibbs even managed to send one!

As with Tali's birth, Ziva spent her time either in bed or on the toilet, though this time she was using the ensuite bathroom attached to their bedroom, something that she had enjoyed greatly since moving in. Ziva stood in the doorway, watching Tony and the girls. Tali had not wanted to go to sleep in her room, as everyone else was staying in the master. Tali didn't want to miss out. So, Tony and Ziva agreed that she could stay with them until she fell asleep. It was now 7pm. Matilda, or Tilly as Tali called her, was in Tony's arms, and he was reading Tali a bedtime story. Gibbs had given Tali a book of fairy tales for her birthday and she loved them.

Ziva watched the three people she loved most in the world; her husband and two daughters.

Memories of talking to Dr Cranston, Kate Todd's older sister, wafted into her memory. It had been a few months after her ordeal in Somalia, and Ziva remembered explaining to Dr Cranston that she had left Mossad and moved to the US because she wanted something permanent, something that could not be taken away.

Six years later, Ziva had finally found her something permanent.

The end.

That's a wrap folks. I can't believe it's finished and over 70,000 words long! Thank you to everyone who read, favourited, followed and/ or left a review.

I chose the name Matilda after the English medieval Queen, Matilda. She was the daughter of Henry I and the mother of Henry II. Whilst she was not crowned Queen, she is considered by many to be the first ruling female monarch in English history.

Big thanks goes to: JamaicaTIVAlover, Sue Dooley, Hippiechic81, DS2010 and BohoAngel.

I do not have plans to write a sequel like this, but I have some ideas for smaller stories.
