HEY GUYS, I'M INCREDIBLY SORRY ABOUT THE LAPSE IN UPDATES. I GOT WRITER'S BLOCK, AND JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO UPDATING. JUST SO YOU KNOW, OVER THE SUMMER I UPDATED ALMOST EVERY NIGHT, BUT NOW I'M SWAMPED WITH HOMEWORK AND CHEERLEADING, SO I WON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO UPDATE DURING THE WEEK. YOU CAN EXPECT UPDATES ON SATURDAYS AND/OR SUNDAYS. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO'S STUCK WITH THIS FROM THE BEGINNING. I 3 YOU GUYS!

DON'T OWN IT.

Lunch had gone by with few problems. Tony and Ziva now knew that their daughter hated mashed potatoes. She had thrown them at Eli.

"I'm serious, Ziva. I think it's time that we buy a house." Tony looked dead serious.

"You're right." She sighed. "Just- just not too far from here, okay?" Tony's face softened at her request, at the vulnerability that she allowed him to see.

"Your father really means this much to you?"

"Yes."

"The only reason I'm suggesting we move is because we need more space. And, now just hear me out, okay? Your father isn't well-liked at all. If someone wants to kill him, and they choose to blow up his apartment, like they tried with you, we could all get hurt." Tony said, no anger in his tone, no resentment- just pure concern.

"That makes sense. Do you want to start looking now?"

"Somebody's a little excited, isn't she?"

"Is that a yes or a no?"

"It's a maybe. Let's just discuss what we want."

"Agoo!" Vittoria announced her presence.

"Hey, Honey!" Tony cooed.

"I want a medium-sized house with a big yard, and a pool." Ziva declared.

"So, like 3 bedrooms. I was thinking 4, in case we have 3 kids."

"That is fine, too." She replied.

"Wait, are you saying fine to 3 kids, or the 4 bedrooms." Tony asked.

"I suppose if we have bedrooms, we could have 3 children."

"So it's a maybe!" Tony's eyes lit up.

"We'll just play it be mouth."

"Ear, Z, not mouth."

"Whatever. Yes, I suppose we could start looking."

"Great!"

I KNOW THIS IS EXTREMEL SHORT. I JUST WANTED TO GET THIS UP BECAUSE I FEEL BAD I HAVEN'T UPDATED. I'M GOING TO TRY TO UPDATE AGAIN TONIGHT, AND I'LL TRY TO UPDATE MY OTHER FICS, TOO, AS WELL AS TOMORROW. PLEASE REVIEW.
