Hi guys! It's Kyla here! Just to let you know this fan fiction is for mollygibbs101, for our Christmas fanfic exchange! She will know why I used the name April. Also I don't own N.C.I.S. (I wish). Also motak means sweetness.
Ziva Gibbs woke up and 3:30 am Christmas morning. She quietly shook her husband Jethro awake. Jethro turned to her and said Ziva why are you waking me up this early.
"You know what today is right?" she responded.
"Of course I know what today is, it's Christmas."
"Well that's why I woke you up, we have to put April's presents under the tree."
'This early though?"
"Yes, so she is still asleep, it is the magic of Santa Claus."
"Ok, let's go."
They got up of the bed, got the presents out of their closet and carried them downstairs. They got downstairs without making a sound. They quickly put all the presents under the tree and took the cookies and milk their daughter laid out for Santa. They ate and drank it all and then headed back up stairs.
While heading upstairs Ziva tripped. Jethro quickly caught her before she could make any noise.
'Thanks for catching me."
'Any time love."
The went back upstairs and laid back down. They snuggled together and quickly fell asleep for about three hours. At about 6:45 Ziva felt a tugging on her nightshirt. She looked down and saw her little daughter April.
"Mommy, mommy Santa came Santa came!" she exclaimed.
"Ok, let's go downstairs."
They went downstairs together just to find that Jethro was already waiting there for them.
"Can I open the presents now please?" April begged.
"Yes, go ahead motak."
April all but ripped the presents open, while Ziva sat with Jethro on the couch. The couple happily watched their daughter open and love all the presents they had given to her. At that moment Jethro knew that waking up at 3:30am wasn't so bad if you got this result.
