The next day, Ziva walked in to Ellie's hospital room with Tali and found Ellie talking to Tony.

"Ziva, hi. I was just checking on Ellie, she's a brave little girl," Tony said.

"I'm not a little girl, I'm 13!" Ellie protested.

"Sorry Ellie, brave big girl, but it doesn't have the same ring to it does it?" Tony replied.

"Guess not" Ellie giggled.

"So you know what? I'm gonna go, feel better soon Ellie, bye Ziva," Tony said, he kissed Ellie on the cheek, then walked out.

"So, how's your arm? They have put a cast on it now, yes?" Ziva asked.

"Ziva, when are you just going to admit you like him?" Ellie asked.

"Great, so now I'm getting relationship advice from my 13 year old daughter." Ziva laughed. "Look Ellie, it's complicated, and we work together and if Gibbs ever found out, one of us could lose our jobs, I'd be risking too much,"

"Tony is a good guy Ziva, he wouldn't let that happen. Besides, he really likes you, and he's good with me and Tali, so what's the problem?" Ellie shouted.

"Ellie, I need to figure that out myself first and until I do figure it out, we need another conversation." Ziva finished.

" Alright then. So that was Jamie Adler hmm?" Ellie asked.

"Oh god, I completely forgot about that, Ellie, I'm so sorry that ever happened, I promise that nothing like that will ever happen to you again," She said and hugged her daughter.

"It's ok Ziva, I'm fine, besides, after last night I think I have proved I can take care of myself, guess mossad will have me in no time,"Ellie joked.

"No Ellie, don't you get it? the whole reason I took this job at NCIS was so you and Tali wouldn't have to go through that like I did. I put my life on the line everyday, and while I'm careful, there's still a pretty good chance that I might not be here one day, I can't ever let that happen to you or your sister," Ziva said, she was trying to fight back the tears, but they won the fight. She started to cry and Ellie wrapped her good arm around Ziva.

"Thankyou ima," Ellie whispered.


Gibbs walked into Jen's office unannounced, yet again.

"He likes her Jen," Gibbs yelled.

"You'll need to give me a little bit more information for that to make sense, Jethro." Jen said calmly.

"DiNozzo, he likes Ziva." Gibbs said.

"Wow your eyesight must be getting really bad if you haven't seen that before now," Jen said.

"This is going to affect them, and how they do their job. Either they stop dating, or I need one of them transferred." Gibbs told her.

"Well I'm not going to do that Jethro and those two aren't going to stop seeing each other because you say so." Jen said.

"No Jen, they're going to stop seeing each other because of rule 12!" Gibbs said.

"Leave them alone Jethro, do not interfere, I mean it. You know as well as I do that some rules are meant to be broken."


Later that night, Tony sat in his apartment watching a movie. He heard a knock at the door, he grabbed his wallet and went over to the door.

"Ok how much do I owe you?" Tony said looking through his wallet for money. He looked up and noticed it was Ziva.

"You're not the Chinese," Tony said.

"No I'm not, can I come in though?" Ziva asked.

"Of course," Tony replied. He stepped to the side to allow her in.

"So what's up?" Tony asked as he shut the door, when he turned around he was slammed back into the door as Ziva kissed him. After a few seconds, they broke the kiss and took in the air.

"I want to give this a try Tony, on one condition." Ziva told him.

"Anything," he replied.

"The girls will come first and they will not get hurt," Ziva said.

"Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way," he replied. They smiled and he kissed her again.

A few minutes later they were sitting on the sofa watching the rest of the movie. For once in his life, Tony wasn't really paying attention the TV screen, he was too busy watching her.

" Ziva, if we're going to make this work, we can't rush into it, we have to take it slowly." Tony said.

"Sounds good to me." Ziva replied.

"A step at a time right?" Tony said.

"A step at a time." She agreed.

THE END
