Want to Be a Part of the Family 8
It was a Saturday morning when the bell to the Dinozzo Residence rang. Tony was the only one awake at nine in the morning. Opening the door he found Ziva with a wide-awake Tali who ran in and grabbed onto her fathers leg.
"Good morning." the girl greeted.
"Good morning to you too. What are you doing here?" Tony asked.
"Didn't Marsha tell you? She wanted to watch her sister today." Ziva explained as she entered the house and shut the door.
"No she conveniently forgot to tell me about that." Tony said. What is she planning?
"Dad who was at the door?" Marsha asked coming out in her short sleeping shorts and tank top.
"Sissy!" Tali cried letting go of Tony's leg and running to her sister who promptly lifted the girl onto her hip.
"Hey kiddo." she greeted her sister with a smile before looking at her father who was giving her a condescending look.
"Am I in trouble?" she asked dubiously unaware of anything she'd done wrong.
"You didn't tell me they were coming over." Tony said.
"Thought I did. Oh well." she said with a shrug.
"Apparently you also forgot it was Family Day." Tony said.
"I didn't forget dad. I just invited the rest of our family." she said with the look that would get her anything she wanted.
"Go get changed munchkin." he said.
"Yes sir." she said setting Tali down.
"Don't call me sir."
"Then yes ma'am."
"Stop spending so much time with Abby." he yelled but she'd already shut the door to her room.
"What's a Family Day?" Ziva asked.
"You'll have to come along to find out." Tony said.
"Fine." Ziva said little did they know that with the silent challenge that they'd gotten close enough to kiss the other. Blushing Tony took a step back as Marsha came out of her room in red Bermuda cotton shorts and a white cotton t-shirt.
"We going?" she asked.
"Yeah come on." he said as he put an arm around Ziva's shoulder as the two girls raced to the elevator.
In Ziva's Car
Since her car was the only one with a car seat for Tali in it they piled in but Tony was the one driving. Ziva was grumbling about it in the passenger seat while Marsha was busy texting her friends in the back seat and entertaining Tali at the same time. After an hour or so of driving they reached an amusement park called Kings Dominion.
"What is this place?" Ziva asked getting out of the front seat to stare up at the park.
"This is Kings Dominion. Have you never heard of it?" Tony asked as he unbuckled Tali from her seat.
Once free the little girl began to run through the parking lot only to be grabbed by her sister and placed on her shoulders.
"Marsha maybe you should let Tony carry her." Ziva suggested.
"Sure. Dad you mind?" she asked.
"Not at all. Come here 2nd munchkin." he said as he lifted the girl onto his own shoulders.
"Woah I'm so high!" the girl cried.
Giggling the four made their way to the line. Once in the park they went looking for something to do. Tali soon wanted to get down from her fathers shoulders and run about. Marsha spotted something that she'd thought would be fun and asked her father about it. When he nodded his head she grabbed Tali's hand.
"Alright! Thanks dad!" Marsha said as she ran off with Tali.
"Where are they going again?" Ziva asked.
"They're going on a carousel ride Sweet cheeks." Tony said.
"Maybe I should go with them." Ziva said and tried to follow the girls.
"Ziva they're going to be going in circles for the next five minutes. They'll be fine." Tony said as he turned the woman around and led her away to go find something some grown-ups would do in a park.
"Are you sure we should leave them alone?" Ziva asked as they got farther and farther from the two kids.
"They'll be fine they're in an amusement park full of people unless someone wants to be caught they won't try anything." Tony said when someone bumped into them.
It would've just been a normal bump if it hadn't made Tony trip fall into Ziva and kiss her. As they stayed lip locked Ziva moved her arms around his neck and his wrapped around her waist. A chorus of ooooooo's was heard from behind them so they broke the kiss and turned.
There stood Marsha, Tali, all of Marsha's friends, and the rest of their NCIS team. Abby was grinning with a video camera and they both felt like dying on the spot. Gibbs walked up to them and stood there.
"Boss I-." Tony was cut off when they both got slapped over the head.
"Just keep it out of the office." he said. Cheering was heard from the peanut gallery as the pair kissed again.
Epilogue:
"Tony was this?" Ziva asked as she looked at the DVD's in hand.
"Something Marsha gave us for our Honey Moon." Tony said popping one into the player.
The screen turned on to have the screen upside down and Tali holding it.
"Tal can you please hand me that." Marsha said and the girl did as told and handed it to her sister. Marsha set it up on something and ran to her friends and lifted Tali up so she could wave at the camera.
"Hey Dad, Hi mom a.k.a Ziva." Marsha said as the chuckles in the background from her friends their little show went on for the next fifteen minutes and ended with this.
"We're just letting you know we miss you and we love ya guys. Though I know you won't listen to this but don't watch the next DVD till tomorrow." she explained.
"See ya later mommy and daddy." Tali said and the Screen went blank.
They were a real family now.
