Tony's surprise Part 1
This is my first NCIS fanfic, this is my version on how the show would end with Ziva returning to D.C with a huge surprise for everyone especially Tony. I hope you guys enjoy it and please kindly review. The story is all mine and I only borrowed the amazing cast. Please read and kindly review.
The plane descended and Ziva looked out the window; the lights to fasten their seat belt lit up. Suddenly she felt anxious. It had been 4 years since she been in Washington. She smiled at the precious little girl sleeping next to her. She brought the seat to the upright position. The flight attendants took their seats as the plane flew through the clouds and the Washington monuments became clear.
The plane touched down and came to a sudden stop. She took a deep breath as all of the passengers waited for clearance to leave the plane. Ziva stayed seated, she knew it would be a while before she could get off the plane; she had to awaken the little girl seated next to her.
Within the hour she had her luggage and held the little girls hand as she made her way through customs. She looked ahead of the crowd wondering if Abby was on the other side waiting for her.
She was thankful when she finally made it through the gates. She smiled when she saw Abby waving. She was the same, wearing her hair in pig tails and her usual wardrobe something only Abby could pull off.
Ziva reached her and both women embraced. As Abby pulled away she saw tears in Ziva's eyes. "Hey don't cry, it's really good to see you."
"I know Abby, they're happy tears." Abby turned her attention to the little beautiful girl standing next to her. She kneeled to her eye level, the little girl was beautiful, she had auburn colored hair with light blonde streaks that hugged her hair perfectly and her eyes were so captivating. A shade of blue mixed with gray. "Hi I'm aunt Abby." She got down to the little girls eye level.
The little girl smiled. "Hi Aunt Abby." Her eyes glistened with happiness as she hugged Aunt Abby. "You are a very beautiful little girl." Abby turned her attention to Ziva.
"I have your room ready."
"I don't want to impose."
Abby narrowed her eyes. "Are you kidding me, I've been on countdown since the day you told me you were coming back to the states."
"And I told you I wasn't sure if it was going to be a permanent move."
"I hope it is Ziva things haven't been the same since you left."
"Thanks Abby but I'm sure Gibbs wouldn't stop all of the cases that come in on a weekly base because I wasn't here anymore."
"But we all missed you so much."
"I know Abby and thank you for not telling anyone I was coming back."
Abby's eyes widen. "Do you realize how hard that was? Gibbs knows something is up, I had to tell him I would show him the surprise this evening, so we have to stop by and so you can say hello."
Ziva looked at her watch. "It's after 6, I'm sure Gibbs is still at NCIS."
"There wasn't much to do this week, and Ducky is the only one there getting things ready for me…" Abby stopped before continuing. "You know how certain cases require more of Ducky's attention and Tony has been busy wondering if he should.." She down cast her look. Ziva noticed. "Ab's I didn't expect him to wait for me."
"He wasn't himself when he came back without you; I think he was afraid of moving on."
"I never asked him to wait; he knew why I had to stay behind." Ziva sighed. "But now I realize I had to come back."
Abby looked closely as Ziva struggled to continue her sentence. "It's obvious you moved on, did you marry?"
Ziva let out a small laugh. "No I had to take care of so many things my father had left undone. I never thought losing him would affect me the way it did."
Abby hugged her. "Let's go, I can't wait for Gibbs to see you."
Ziva smiled and tighten her grip on the little girl's hand and they trailed behind Abby. It was almost 7:30 when Abby stopped in front of Gibbs home. Ziva smiled and sighed. "I missed everyone so much."
Abby exited the car and walked over to let the Ziva and the little girl out of the car. She opened the door and finally asked. "She's your daughter? I know we've kept in touch and but you didn't tell me about her, and I assume she's why you're back?"
Abby stopped when Ziva looked away; trying to be strong as she responded. "Yes this is my daughter."
"I knew it; I see a lot of you in her. I love her eyes, the color is so unusual."
"I know everyone asks if she wears contacts, she's so young for those." They finally reached the door. "It's always unlocked, let me go and see where Gibbs is."
Ziva smiled. "I believe he can be found in the basement."
Abby opened the door and they heard noise coming from the basement. She smiled looking back at Ziva. "We know Gibbs so well."
Abby took a few steps ahead and signaled Ziva to sit on the sofa. She did as told and as Abby made her way downstairs she could feel her heart racing, and thought it was going to leap out of her chest. Her daughter looked up at her. "Mommy why are we here?"
"We're here to see Gibbs, remember I've shown you his pictures?"
She nodded. Suddenly the door opened and Ziva immediately stood up. Her eyes lit at the sight of Gibbs. He smiled and wiped his eyes as they embraced; no words were necessary to reveal how he felt. He held her. "Ziver this is the best surprise." Abby was all smiles. "I knew you'd love it Gibbs."
He suddenly pulled away when he noticed the beautiful little girl next to Ziva. She smiled as she looked up at him. "Are you Gibbs?"
He kneeled down to her level. "I am but I'm afraid I don't know who you are."
Ziva spoke up before she could answer. "Gibbs this is my daughter Kelly."
He was quiet for several minutes. "Kelly?"
Ziva smiled. "Yes I thought it was the perfect name."
Gibbs held the little girl's hand and picked her up bringing her into a hug. "I'm grandpa Gibbs." He said so proudly, little Kelly hugged him. "I'm 3 years old." Gibbs held her and turned towards Ziva.
"Have you eaten?"
"We had something on the plane."
"I made a roast earlier, let me warm up some left overs."
Ziva held Kelly's hand and they walked towards the bathroom. Abby turned to Gibbs who was taking the containers out of the fridge.
"Gibbs did you notice anything?"
He smiled. "Ab's what's up?"
"Ziva isn't wearing a ring, and Kelly is 3 years old, it matches the date and time when Tony flew there to find her."
"Don't ask and don't question who Kelly's father is."
"Ugh..I think the father has a right to know."
"Ab's that's not for you to say, maybe Ziva married or there's someone in her life now." But deep down Gibbs knew better, and he knew he had to hear it from Ziva, she had to acknowledge it first before he'd come to any conclusions.
"I asked her Gibbs, she hasn't married or seeing anyone."
"Well you let her tell us, don't ask anything."
Abby stood her ground. "My gut never lies to me; I know Tony is that little girl's daddy. She has the blue mix eye color and that hair color isn't a coincidence."
"Whatever the answer might be, you can't say a word, Ziva will tell us and when she's ready."
"What about Zoe?"
Gibbs smiled, he knew it would be hard for Abby to just stand there and not offer any help to Ziva or Tony.
"He's moved on, and I'm sure Ziva will understand that."
"I haven't seen Tony with Zoe so who knows."
"We all know Tony how secretive Tony has been lately."
"I thought Tony was ready to propose?"
"You know I never get involved with his personal life, unless I'm asked."
"Hmmm." Abby wasn't too pleased, she wanted to know what more about little Kelly."
"Is Ziva going to be here for a while?"
"She's back and she's not sure she will stay or go back to Israel." Abby responded.
Gibbs heated the left overs and Ziva returned to the dining room area with Kelly trailing behind her. "Mommy I want the chicken bites we had on the plane."
Gibbs smiled. "I have some of those, Abby get them out of the freezer, and we'll have them ready for you to eat."
Kelly smiled shrugging her shoulders as she swayed back and forth. Ziva guided her to the nearest chair. "Sit here and your food will be ready soon."
Within minutes Gibbs heated the chicken pieces and placed them on a plate for Kelly. She began to eat. Abby served her apple juice. Ziva prepared a sandwich with the meat Gibbs placed on a plate. He watched Ziva, she kept her eyes down, avoiding eye contact with him. Abby was the one that made small talk.
After finishing her chicken pieces little Kelly was playing with a coloring book Ziva had given her and suddenly fell asleep on the chair she was sitting, Abby's phone rang. "It's Ducky; I guess he has a question regarding the latest case." She walked outside.
Gibbs turned his attention towards Ziva. "How is life in Israel?"
She sighed he could tell she was over worked and had a lot on her mind, she finally responded. "I've been very busy, my father left so many things that needed to be taken care of, and I have been working nonstop, and now that I'm finally caught up I'm ready for a break."
"I know you how you are, and I'm glad you returned, you're missed?"
She walked closer to him and hugged him, she pulled away and noticed Gibbs had aged. "I heard you were hurt and you almost died."
He smiled. "Can I assume Abby has filled you in on everything that has happened since you've been gone?"
"We've kept in touch through email, she just mentioned the important things, and I almost flew here to check on you."
Gibbs smiled and placed his arm around her shoulder. "Your daughter is beautiful."
She smiled and blushed. "Thank you, I think so."
"So you'll have to stop by at NCIS and say hello to Vance, McGee and Tony, and I know Ducky and Palmer will be very happy to see you."
"I know and I will."
"They're going to love Kelly."
"I know, she's such a blessing, I couldn't see my life without her."
Gibbs smiled. "She's a happy little girl."
"I hope it was ok to give her your daughter's name?"
"It's an honor, are you kidding me?"
"Somehow I knew you'd agree."
"Ziva did Abby tell you Tony is dating? I think it's serious."
"I understand and as I told Abby earlier today, I didn't expect him to wait for me."
He took a deep breath. "Does he know?"
She finally made eye contact with him. "Know what?"
"Ziva you can't hide Kelly forever, the moment I saw her I knew who her father is."
"It's that obvious?"
"She has his eyes with a mixture of your eye color and that hair, no one can have that combination, I know she's his daughter."
She felt she needed to explain.
"Gibbs after he left, a few weeks later I started to feel sick, I was nauseas in the mornings, I couldn't hold anything down, and the smell of coffee made me so sick." She paused briefly. "And now I can't enjoy a cup of coffee like I use too."
"Why didn't you call him?"
"And have him leave the job he loves and lives for? I couldn't leave Israel Gibbs; you should have seen the mess my father left behind, there was so much to organize and before I knew it I was weeks away from having her." Ziva's eyes filled with tears and finally made eye contact with Gibbs. "You don't know how many times I tried to pick up the phone and tell him we were having a daughter."
"I think he would have been thrilled, he had a hard time functioning after he came back from Israel, I guess when he realized he was in love with you, you decided to stay there."
She walked a few steps away and crossed her arms. "Our first night together was amazing, it felt so right, when I found out I was pregnant I wasn't at all surprised, I knew our first time together meant everything to me and I know it did to Tony as well."
Gibbs sighed. "What a surprise for Tony?"
Her smile was small. "I love him Gibbs but I don't want to get in the way of his happiness, Abby mentioned in the emails that he was dating again and I assume things have gotten serious?"
"But he needs to know he has a daughter."
Abby walked back in. "Ziva I have to get back to my lab." She turned towards Gibbs. "Palmer and Ducky found new evidence and they need me to analyze it right now, I tried walking them through the process just now, but it's not working."
"Do I need to come in?"
"No wait until morning, can you take Ziva to my place?"
Ziva turned quickly. "No I can get a hotel; I knew you'd be busy Ab's."
Gibbs stopped her. "I have an extra room, and it has enough room for you and Kelly."
"I didn't come back to impose on any of you!"
"You're not imposing, you're family remember?"
She smiled hugging Gibbs tighter than when she first arrived. "I missed all of you so much."
Gibbs kissed her forehead and walked to pick up Kelly from the chair. He turned towards Ziva. "Go with Abby and get your bags."
She did as told trailing behind Abby. "Thank you for picking us up?"
Abby smiled. "As soon as I'm done I will come and get you both."
"Thanks Abby, take your time."
Ziva made her way to the upstairs bedroom and walked in as Gibbs was placing Kelly into bed after removing her shoes.
"Thanks Gibbs, we had a long two days."
"I know, why don't you go and take a warm bath, I'll sit here and stay with her just in case she wakes up."
Ziva smiled. She opened her suitcase and took out what she needed to take a much needed warm bath. It was midnight by the time she was getting into bed with her daughter. She smiled as she watched how soundly she slept. She placed a soft kiss on her forehead and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
The following morning Ziva woke up early and changed into a comfortable top pairing it with black leggings, she place her hair into a pony tail and wearing very little make-up. She turned to see if Kelly was still asleep. She walked out of the room and went downstairs.
Gibbs was getting ready to leave and was drinking a cup of coffee while going through the morning paper.
He smiled when he noticed Ziva. "I made fresh coffee."
"I can't have it anymore."
"Why don't you try my coffee? I remember you loved it."
"Your coffee was always very strong. I think I will just have juice, as soon as Kelly gets up I know she'll want pancakes."
"Really? My daughter use to love pancakes."
Ziva bit her lower lip. "Ugh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to.." He stopped her. "Nonsense, I think it's perfect."
Ziva headed to the sofa to get her bag where she kept Kelly's things. The door suddenly opened and Tony walked in. He saw Gibbs at the table.
"Hey boss did you hear Abby pulled an all nighter? I knew there was more to that case and that Marine's ex-wife has something to do with it, I'm sure she's guilty."
He noticed Gibbs was just staring at him without saying a word and somehow felt there was some else was in the room. He turned and his eyes widen and his breathing suddenly stopped.
"Ziva… you're here?"
All of a sudden noise coming from the stairs made things a bit more shocking for Tony, the cutest little auburn blonde girl came down the stairs taking one step one at a time. She smiled when she saw Tony and caught sight of Ziva.
"Mommy I'm hungry."
Tony turned towards Ziva who had not been able to move since he walked in…"Mommy?" He questioned and turned towards Gibbs who shrugged his shoulders. He patted him on the back. "Morning Tony." Was all Gibbs could say.
Wow! I'm getting ready to post this and I hear Michael Weatherly is leaving NCIS after this season!
