Chapter 18 – Mama David is a Mama Bear

Tony DiNozzo had always been a confident man, a man who was actually quite hard to intimidate and feared very few people. Leroy Jethro Gibbs was one of those people, but only when e was angry at Tony which was not all that often. The other person was his crazy partner, however that was when they first started working together, now he didn't find himself that scared of the Israeli woman. So naturally he did not see any reason to be fearful of the petite elder David woman. Bi mistake.

Rivka David was what her name suggested: A David. She may be divorced from her ex-husband but she still knew how to be what he and Mossad made her. Scary as hell!

She and Tony stepped into the office of Abby's lab and the moment the door sealed shut behind them the false sweetness she wore fell from her features and she let her true emotions shine through. Tony caught sight of the truly terrifying expression on Rivka's face and all previous sense of confidence fled from his being.

"Mr DiNozzo I am aware of exactly what you did to my daughter and I am here to tell you right now, you harm her and no one will ever find you. You may have gotten Ziva's forgiveness for your stupid actions however you have not gotten mine nor have you earned my approval to date my daughter"

Tony stammered unintelligible syllables trying to defend himself but he could not get any words out of his mouth.

"I may not work for Mossad anymore however the training never leaves a person nor do the contacts we gain. Mr DiNozzo you cause Ziva anymore harm in any shape, way or form and I will personally make sure you never take another breath. She is my only living child and I'll be damned before I let anything remotely upsetting happen to her. I will watch every move you make and I will not leave until you have either proven I can trust you with Ziva and Zaria or until you have shown me more evidence that I cannot leave them here with you" With her rant over Rivka turned to leave the office and Tony blindly followed, the colour drained form his face.

When they stepped out of the office Ziva took note of Tony's now colourless face and the satisfied expression on her mother's. Abby, McGee and Gibbs also spotted both looks. Abby's mouth formed on 'O' shape, McGee stifled a laugh that threatened to come out and Gibbs smirked at the Senior Field agent. It's not everyday a person renders Anthony DiNozzo speechless.

"Mother what did you do?" Ziva all but shrieked at the elder David woman, who in return turned to face her daughter and flash a smug smile at her.

"What any parent would do to the man who had hurt their child: Warned him what would happen if he did it again. And now Mr DiNozzo and I have an... understanding, right Mr DiNozzo?"

Tony gulped loudly and furiously nodded his head. Gibbs saw the his senior agent and decided it was time to take some pity on the guy and so he whistled to gain everyone's attention.

"Hey! Don't any of you have work to do? Let's go before we get a case!" He marched out of the lab after kissing Abby's cheek goodbye and his agents quickly stumbled to follow in behind him.

"We will talk about this when we get home" Ziva firmly told her mother, who was still standing with her arms across her chest and the smug smile still spread across her face.

"Okay Ziva" Rivka spoke as her daughter left the lab.

"So Ms David, you staying here with me?" Abby asked in her usual cheery voice.

"Call me Rivka dear and ken, I think I will"

When the team arrived in the bull-pen they had not sat down for thirty seconds before Gibbs' phone rang and he ordered them to grab their gear. And they all sprang into action without a second thought, their days were pretty routine by now and they all knew what to do and how to do it pretty well.

Stepping into the elevator Ziva turned to Tony, worry in he eyes and asked.

"Tony what did she do?" Knowing who and what Ziva was referring to Tony went with the smart choice for once in his life and kept his mouth shut not wanting to cause trouble for himself or between the two David women. Gibbs read his longest agent's face and stepped in for him.

"Leave him alone Ziva, she's your mother you should know"

A/N: A very short update but alas I will admit I wasn't sure whether to continue the story after Ziva confirmed that her mother is in fact dead in season 9, But then decided if some people have her sister Thalia alive in their stories then why can't I have Rivka? xxx
