Just a moment in time
It was almost three o'clock in the morning, there was not a sound around her, besides the rhythmic breathing of her husband asleep on their bed.
She could watch him sleep for hours, he always looked like a little boy immerse in some incredible dream when he slept. Ziva smiled to herself, she was so much in love with him, that sometimes it actually scared her.
She stood from the recliner chair she had been sitting on, and stepped out of the bedroom without making a sound, turning to look at him she smiled sweetly before closing the door.
Ziva walked slowly to the next room and paused at the door, her beautiful chocolate eyes fixed on the small figure inside a white wooden crib, she could hear soft cooing sounds coming from inside and her heart just melted.
The nursery was enveloped in shadows, which were gently broken by a night light shedding its tender yellowish light over the beautiful face of her daughter.
She got next to the crib and smiled as she leaned forward to pick up the small bundle. Ziva cradled her baby girl with loving arms and sat on a rocking chair next to the now empty crib; very carefully she nestled the baby on one arm while she unbuttoned her white night gown.
She never thought she could love some one so much; tears appeared in her amazing eyes as baby Adrianna started nursing.
Adrianna DiNozzo, her beloved daughter, Anthony DiNozzo's perfect little angel. It still seemed like a dream, all of it.
Ziva let the memories wash over her…
Tony finally gathering the courage to tell her he loved her, their engagement party at NCIS headquarters, it had just seem right, they were their real family after all.
Their wedding, with McGee as the overly nervous best man and a very Goth- looking Abby as her maid of honor, those wedding pictures were priceless.
The moment she told him, he was going to be a father and Tony's face when he held Adrianna for the very first time. They had been still inside the delivery room, his eyes had shinned with tears and she had never loved him more than in that moment.
She turned down to look at her daughter; she was a miniature version of herself, with Tony's beautiful eyes, this little human being was a part of them both, she only wished there was a way to frame this particular moment in time.
Ziva felt complete, it was something she thought, was never going to happen again, not after loosing Tali, not after killing Ari, not after Jenny's death, but Adrianna, at 3 months of age had managed to do exactly that, she had somehow made her whole again and it was incredible.
A flash of light startled her, almost making her jump.
Tony was looking at her, reclining against the door frame, a digital camera in his hand, his hair was all messy and he was wearing only his pajama bottoms, Ziva couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you doing up Tony?" She asked between laughs.
"Capturing for posterity, the most amazing scene on Earth."
"Is that so Tony?" Ziva asked looking at her daughter while she continued to nurse happily.
"Of course It is. A crazy Mossad ninja woman and the most perfect angel, what can be more beautiful than that?" He said walking towards her and kissing his daughter on the head. "I love you Ziva" he added kissing her lips softly.
"I love you too Anthony DiNozzo, more than you'll ever know" she said adoringly.
For Ziva David, it truly was, the most perfect moment in time.
El FIN.
