Tony got out of a cab in front of a small cafe and pulled out his daughter, grunting as he did, "Ahhhh, you're getting so big."
Tali started to laugh, "Aba."
Tony smiled at his baby girl, "Hungry?"
Tali nodded, "Pizza!"
"Heh." Tony rubbed his nose against Tali's, "I'm sure they make great pizza in Paris, but we're not here for that."
Tali smiled at her father as he carried her to a small table, setting her down in one of the chair. He sat next to her and held his arm out, making sure she was steady in the chair, "Do you know what this place is, Tali?"
Tali didn't say a word, she just kept smiling at her daddy.
"This is where me and your Ima ate when we were in Paris together, we had wine and some cheese and some bread and she complained about all the pictures I was taking, but I couldn't help it, this was Paris, the city of light, the city of love and your Ima was so beautiful and I loved her so very much and I still do."
"You better." A voice called out from behind.
"Ima!" Tali excitedly exclaim.
"Awww, motek." Ziva lifted her daughter, giving her a huge hug and whispered something in her ear in Hebrew.
"You're late." Tony said.
Ziva extend her hand to Tony's face, caressing it, "I am so sorry, Tony. I..."
Tony stood up, "Shhh, no." He lifted his hand to Ziva's face, "No more sadness, only happiness."
Ziva's hand slid into the back of Tony's hair and she tilted her head up and kissed him sweetly on the lips.
"Ima." Tali called out again and Ziva broke their kiss to look at her.
"Ken?" Ziva smiled at her daughter.
"Daddy." Tali pointed at Tony.
Ziva nodded, tears in her eyes, "Yes."
"Heh. I think she wants me to hold her." Tony smiled, taking his daughter from Ziva.
Ziva's tears intensified.
With one hand, Tony held his daughter tightly, her little head laying against his shoulder. With his other hand, he embraced Ziva, pulling her into his side, squeezing her around the waist. He buried his face into the side of her neck, "How much for some Hebrew lessons?"
Ziva snorted, letting out a laugh and lifted her hands to his face, kissing him passionately, "You can pay me in sex." She happily answered.
