Well, all good things must come to an end...and here it is - the final chapter. I'm toying with the idea of a sequel loosely based on where this one leaves off...but we'll see! Thank you again for the follows, reviews, and favs!
Ziva rocked the car seat that sat on the dining room table, cooing and fussing over the happy, smiling baby as she lightly and playfully ran a finger down Jordan's nose, "Are you going to be a good girl for Aunt Abby?"
Jordan's face puckered and she turned slightly red as Ziva turned to Tony and Abby hastily, "Oh! So are we ready Tony?"
"Just goin' over the rules with Abby...so here are the emergency numbers, and no boys over while you are babysitting!"
"But this is my house, Tony!"
"Don't care.
Ziva chuckled as Abby huffed and rolled her eyes and Tony smirked. "Can we leave now Tony?"
"We'll pick her up in the morning, Abs."
"You two don't have to pick her up early! Let us have our fun! I'll call you when it's time to come and get her."
He nodded and quickly ran over to the car seat, leaning in to peck Jordan on the head before leaving. She squirmed as his scruff touched her face, making Tony grin widely as he spoke, "Bye bye sweetheart...Daddy will see you tomorrow."
Ziva grabbed his hand and pulled him to the door, practically running for the car as Abby turned towards the car seat while she shut the door. She leaned down, lifting the baby from the seat, "Oh do I have plans for us! Oh my god! That smell! Your mommy and daddy totally knew you did that, did't they?"
Ziva turned to Tony in the car laughing lightly, "I almost feel bad about that..."
Tony laughed heartily, "So you did get a whiff of that diaper! I was wondering why you were suddenly in a rush to leave Jordan!"
"So where are we going?"
"Ladies choice. What sounds good sweet cheeks?"
She bit her lip and threw a sideways glance his direction as she spoke, "We are slightly overdressed for what I would really like."
Tony ran his hand up her thigh and under the soft material of her wrap dress, leaning towards her to plant a soft kiss on her neck. Her neck vibrated against him as she chuckled, "Perhaps I should clarify. We are overdressed for what I would like to do for dinner. Although, this has potential for after dinner."
Tony pulled away, running his hand over her cheek, his eyes smiling, "So what's for dinner Zi?"
She looked down, playing with his silk tie as she spoke, "Cheesesteaks and beer..."
Tony's hand pulled into a fist and thrust it upward as he shouted, "YES! I knew there was a reason I married you! Cheesesteaks and beer it is!"

Ziva opened the door to their house, stumbling slightly over her heels and laughing. Tony was close behind as he closed and locked the door, catching her from behind by her waist. He whispered in her ear, "I'm gonna check on Abs and Jordan real quick, and then..."
His mouth sucked at the flesh of her neck while he breathed her scent in heavily, "Please be quick."
Ziva pulled from his embrace, moving into the kitchen for a drink of water as Tony sent a text. You and Jordan good Abs?
Oh we were good...after I changed that diaper you two left me with! I'll remember that!
I'd say sorry, but then I'd be lying.
Yeah, yeah...
Tony opened the next text message to find a picture of what he was pretty certain was his daughter, "Uh Zi?"
She poked her head from around the partition, "Yes?"
"Look what Abby did to our daughter!"
Ziva ran over concerned, looking down to Tony's phone to see their daughter in a black onesie adorned with skulls and crossbones, a dog collar as a belt, a black and white bow with a skull in the center clipped into her hair, and black toe nails. "Oh my god! What did she do to our child?"
Tony closed the message, chuckling, "Well at least it looks like they're having fun..."
"Yes, you are right. Now, how about we have some fun?"
Her eyebrows wagged playfully at him as he swooped her into his arms and made his way towards the stairs.

Tony turned towards the door as a high pitched shriek filled the air, followed by tiny footsteps and an even tinier voice, "GAMPY! GAMPY!"
Jordan ran towards the door that Gibbs was walking through. A broad smile came across his face as dark, curly pigtails and pink overalls ran into his arms, "How's my best girl?"
Her tiny arms flung around his neck and her sticky popsicle lips met his cheek, "MUUUUUUAH!"
Gibbs laughed as Tony turned to him, "Hey boss, glad you could make it..."
"Thanks, DiNozzo...where's everyone?"
"Outback...Jordan and I were just getting ready to wipe the popsicle off of her face, weren't we?"
Tony took her from Gibbs' arms, playfully rubbing her face with a damp paper towel. She squirmed and backed away as best as she could as she shouted, "NO! I SAID NO!"
Tony smirked uncomfortably as he turned to Gibbs, "Heh...Just as stubborn as her mom. I thought this was supposed to stop after the terrible twos boss..."
"You got fifteen more years of this DiNozzo..."
He followed Tony outside. McGee and Palmer stood at the grill, flipping burgers and nursing beers as Abby sat between Breena and Ziva. Breena bounced her one year old son, Jimmy Junior, on her knee as Ziva rocked her three month old, Maya, in her arms. Tony ran down the stairs, chasing Jordan through the yard before leaning down behind Ziva's chair, pecking her on the cheek before gently running his hand down the back of Maya's head. Gibbs stood on the stairs, watching the scene of his family in front of him before moving down the stairs and shouting towards the grill, "You two better not burn my burger!"
