"Morning" Tony mumbled against Ziva's bare shoulder, Ziva stretched and rolled over, kissing him lightly.
"Good morning"
Tony pulled her closer to him and began kissing her neck when a loud scream came from the kitchen.
Tony and Ziva ran out to see what had happened. When they reached the kitchen they found Charlotte sitting at the table, her arms crossed and a bowl of cereal on her head. Carlos was standing on the chair next to her giggling.
Ziva smiled slightly and played with the bottom of Tony's shirt, she had slipped it on when she and Tony had run out. He was only in boxers.
It had been 3 months since Charlotte had been stabbed. Things were going well now, Ziva had moved in with Tony and the children and sold her old apartment. They were going strong and very much in love. Carlos was so happy to have his mother living with him.
But there was one problem.
They still hadn't told Eli.
He knew Ziva was with Tony, but he didn't know she had a child with him. They hadn't spoken much since Shahar, but today he was coming for a visit.
"Come on" Tony said taking Ziva's hand and tugging her back into the bedroom.
"Tony, my father is arriving today" She said as Tony pinned her to the door and started kissing her neck.
"Hmm" He mumbled.
"Tony" She tired, but he didn't stop. She put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him off "We have to get ready"
Tony frowned at her then nodded. He went to turn away but Ziva wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him into a heated kiss.
When they broke apart Tony rested his forehead against Ziva's.
"I love you" He said in a low voice.
"I love you too Tony" She whispered back. She let go of him and turned him around "Get dressed" she smirked walking around him, leaving him pouting at her back.
"Shalom Papa" Ziva smiled as Eli walked up to her in the airport.
"Shalom Ziva. I am sorry to hear about what happened with Shahar. Did he hurt you at all?" Eli asked. Ziva shook her head.
"Stitches. It was nothing" She said. Eli turned to look at Tony, who was standing next to Ziva trying to stay calm.
"This must be Agent DiNozzo" Eli said shaking Tony's hand.
"Call me Tony" Tony said with a charming smile. Eli rose his eyebrow and looked at Ziva, who smiled slightly.
"You will be staying at our apartment, Yes Papa?" Ziva asked as the three walked out of the airport. Eli nodded and they got into the very nice car. Which Tony had grinned at when he saw it.
"Papa" Ziva said after 15 minutes of silence "There is one thing you should know. Tony has two children"
Eli turned to Tony "How old?" He asked.
"Charlotte's almost 16 and Carlos is almost 4" Tony said with a smile. Eli smiled back and nodded.
"Ok Sinatra" Charlotte said to Carlos kneeling down to his level "Now, do you remember what we talked about when Eli's here?"
"No calling Mummy, Mummy until she says it's ok to" He said proudly. Charlotte kissed his cheek.
"Good, now monkey, climb up" She said turning around and letting Carlos climb onto her back.
A few minutes later Charlotte was standing in the kitchen with Carlos hanging off her back making him a sandwich when she heard the front door opened.
"Bond? Sinatra?" Tony called out. Charlotte and Carlos walked out of the kitchen and walked up to them.
"Papa, this is Charlotte and Carlos" Ziva said. Eli looked at Carlos and then back at Ziva.
"Is there something you have not told me about Ziva?" Eli asked in Hebrew. Ziva looked down then ushered Eli into the lounge room away from .
"I am sorry I did not tell you" Ziva said. Eli crossed his arms.
"You neglected to mention to me you had a son?" Eli yelled in Hebrew "Out of wedlock and to an American?" He continued.
"Father! I had Carlos almost four years ago and gave him to Tony. Because of Mossad I gave up my son, and I now have him back and you cannot take me away from that" She said angrily. Eli glared at her for a moment before he turned around.
"Where are you going?" Ziva asked.
"To NCIS. I am requesting that you come back to Mossad" He said walking past Tony and out the front door.
"What was that about?" Tony asked a few minutes later walking into the lounge room where Ziva was standing.
"I think I may be going back to Mossad" She said in a low voice. Tony's eyes widened and he put his hands on her arms.
Charlotte picked Carlos up again and walked him into his room, giving Tony and Ziva some privacy.
"He can't do this. I won't let him" Tony said putting his arms around her waist and pulling her into him, resting his forehead against the top of her head. She sighed.
"I will have no choice Tony" She said leaning up and kissing him lightly he tightened his hold on her and kissed her more deaply. Suddenly her phone rang.
Tony watched as Ziva's face fell "Yes Director" She sighed hanging up. She looked back at Tony "Can you help me pack?" She asked quietly.
"They can't do this! We can take the kids and run away! Franks seems to like Mexico. Maybe we could go there?" Tony asked. Ziva placed her hand on his cheek.
"You are beautiful Tony" She said looking into Tony's pleading eyes "But I have no choice. I will come back soon. I promise" She said kissing him again and walking away. Tony watched as Ziva disappeared into their bedroom without a backwards glance.
"I love you" Tony whispered again holding Ziva close as they stood in the middle of the airport. Eli stood a few feet away with his arms crossed.
"I love you too" Ziva said bringing his head down for a rather passionate kiss.
She let go of him and hugged the Team and Charlotte, then bending down to Carlos.
"Mummy…why are you going again?" He asked in a small voice.
"I have to work" She said. Carlos nodded.
"But I just got you…" He said tears running down his cheeks.
Ziva pulled him into her arms and he clung to her neck "I love you Mummy" He said kissing her cheek.
"I love you too Carlos. Here" She said pulling an envelope out of her pocket and handing it to him "When you get home asked Charlotte to read this to you" She said kissing his forehead and standing up. She turned to Tony and kissed him one last time before walking to her father. The two of them walked through the date and disappeared from their sight.
"Daddy" Carlos said tugging on Tony's pants, his other hand clutching the letter. "Will Mummy come home soon?" He asked.
Tony sighed and looked down at him "I don't know Sinatra…I really hope so"
Charlotte stepped up next to Tony "You can't always get what you want" She said. Tony turned to her and she smiled slightly. "Yes, I know it's from House, but it seemed fitting"
Tony kissed the top of her head "Thanks Bond"
"Ziva will find a way to come home" She said picking Carlos up.
"Hmm" Tony mumbled as he watched the plane carrying Ziva fly further and further away.
She had to come home.
But what if she didn't?
Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But heres the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is ... everything.
Anyone want a sequal?
By the way, It may not be up for a month, as I signed up for the NaNoWriMo (If you don't know what it is, google it :D)
So yes. Please review! tell me what you think of this fic!
