Ziva was sitting on the couch an hour later with a smiling Rob in her lap, playing with her hands while Michael sat next to them in Teresa's lap, watching TV. Smiling Ziva kissed Rob's head before turning to Teresa asking "where's Ivan?" looking questioningly at Teresa who smiled saying "his helping Akiva in the kitchen" as she motioned in the direction of the kitchen. Nodding Ziva asked "do you mind if he comes with me tonight?" as she tussled Michael's hair. Shaking her head Teresa said "No just bring him back before midnight please?" smiling fondly at the woman who nodded saying "Sur…" "Ziva!" Levi called running up to her with a bright smile on his face. Smiling Ziva placed Rob on the couch before standing up just in time as Levi enveloped her in a bone crushing hug saying "I missed ya Ziva" the happiness evident in his voice.
Smiling Ziva hugged him back saying "I missed you too, little man, how's the training?" before smiling fondly at the boy as he said "Good, I'm going to kick some as…" "Levi!" "Sorry momma" Levi called smiling sheepishly at Ziva who just shook her head in fake disappointment, making Levi chuckle as he playfully nudged her. Smiling Ziva asked "think you can take me little man?" flicking his forehead playfully, frowning Levi covered his forehead saying "in my sleep old lady" as he looked at Ziva from underneath his hands. Gasping at being called old Ziva slapped Levi's shoulder saying "Oh you're on, let's do this, little man" as she ripped off her sweater, playfully glaring at Levi who smirked ripping off his shirt saying "bring it sister" as he walked to the back door.
Smirking Ziva turned to Michael and Rob asking "want to come watch, guys its going to be good" as she herself walked to the back door, smiling when the two small boys squealed following her out into the backyard while Teresa smiled following them to keep an eye on this scene.
Walking onto the backyard porch Teresa saw Ziva standing opposite Levi, both having smirks, while Rob and Michael happily sat on the ground a few feet away from them, happily cheering them on as Ziva and Levi stepped a part only to re-engage when Levi launched at Ziva with a punch which she easily dodged.
Throwing a punch Ziva watched as Levi ducked under it before throwing a leg swipe that she easily dodged by jumping over it before grabbing Levi's fist when he threw punch at her chest, using it as center point Ziva swung her legs around aiming a kick at Levi's head which he easily blocked with a smile before frowning when Ziva changed direction mid air to leg swipe him, a move he just manage to dodge before ripping his hand free and retreating a few feet away from her while Rob and Michael continued cheering.
Smirking Ziva got back into her fighting stance saying "show me what momma taught you, little man!" as she beckoned him over with her head. Smirking Levi clapped his hands together saying "Iron amour!" before his skin suddenly turned a dark gray, frowning when she didn't recognize the technique Ziva asked "is that new?!" turning serious as she looked questioningly at Levi. Nodding Levi got into his fighting stance saying "yeah momma taught it to me" "that can't be, I know all of momma's techniques" "well not this one momma only completed it last year, it's really new" Levi said proudly which caused Ziva to smile saying "okay, let see how I do, come at me for real okay?!" getting a nod Ziva said "boys go to Teresa" not looking at them.
When the boys were clear Ziva said "let's go, little man" as her face turned blank, her face the picture of seriousness. Nodding Levi launched at her with a punch with his right arm, seeing this she made to grab it when Levi suddenly disappeared only to appear above her to aim a kick to her that she managed to dodge but not altogether and it struck her shoulder. Moving out of the way Ziva made to strike him when he disappeared again only to reappear behind her, this time landing a kick to her back. Tumbling away Ziva landed on her feet, facing Levi as he disappeared again, this time appearing to her left then to her right and finally in front of her as he leg swiped Ziva to the ground.
Standing up slowly Ziva watched as Levi zapped around her at a speed she was barely able to see. Standing up straight Ziva closed her eyes saying "light, see" softly before opening her eyes to reveal it golden as she glanced around following Levi's movements more easily but still struggling. Smirking Levi zapped around Ziva making hand signs before stopping behind Ziva saying "Fire dragon!" making flames in the form of a roaring dragon appear out of the ground, around Ziva's feet. Sighing Ziva formed a hand sign saying "water wall!" as she swirled in a circle as a water orb appeared around her as she stared at Levi's stunned expression with a smirk on her face before standing up again as Levi disappeared again.
Smirking Levi continued zapping around before stopping suddenly when he saw Ziva making weird hand movements' moments before the orb of water surrounding her developed arms and started chasing him as Ziva continued making hand signs. Levi was about to attack Ziva from behind moments later when one of the water arms caught his upper body, making Ziva saying "expend!" as she held out her hand in Levi's direction, when she was done Ziva released her water ball stared at Levi as he just stood there.
Looking questioningly at Ziva Levi asked "what did you do?" trying to move his arms but not having much success. Walking up to him Ziva said "water erodes metal, Levi" before placing her hand on his chest saying "it's a very good technique and I guarantee your victory, little man" before flicking his forehead and saying "reseed Iron amour" making Levi's skin turn back to its original color as Levi's stiff form relaxed while he asked "you think I'll win?" "Absolutely, little man" ZIva said tussling his hair as her eyes turn back as well. Smiling proudly Levi allowed Ziva to wrap her arm around his shoulders saying "I landed a hit, didn't I?" a smug smile on his face.
Chuckling Ziva said "yes you did, little m…" "You two done?" swirling to the voice they saw Akiva and Ivan standing next to Teresa and the boys, with smirks on their faces. Smiling proudly Levi ran to the others saying "did you see that, I landed a hit on Ziva?!" proudly. Smiling proudly Akiva patted his head saying "that tournament is yours for sure" before watching as Rob and Michael descended on him saying how awesome and cool he was while Ziva, Ivan and Teresa watched on with fond smiles on their faces.
Glancing at her watch Akiva said "dinner time, come on guys" before laughing when Ziva, Ivan and Levi almost threw punches on their way to the kitchen while Teresa picked Rob and Michael up and walking into the door Akiva was holding open for her.
Ziva and the others were chuckling as they watched Rob and Michael bicker with Levi when Ivan kicked her foot with a certain expression on his face. Seeing this expression caused Ziva to clear her throat saying "excuse me" before standing up and following Ivan out onto the front porch while the rest stared on behind them with confusion evident on their faces. Leaning against the door next to Ivan Ziva asked "what's wrong?" as she stared out in front of her, sighing Ivan said "Ziva we have a problem"
"What is it?"
"Sarah's father is causing trouble and he is being…"
"Ivan spit it out"
"He is attending meetings and is attacking momma"
"What did she do about this?"
"Nothing he is a head, she cannot do anything"
"What did you do?"
"I can't do anything either, he is still a head, we've tried everything Sarah even asked him to leave he won't and only…"
"Only the head can do something, what did he say to momma?"
"He called her your little pet and that she was a spineless bitch who just bent over and takes it because she is a pussy, I wanted to rip his fucking face off but you know momma"
"Yes I do, when did this start?"
"About a month ago, he just started attending and would insult Sarah in front of us all and humiliate her so momma stood up for her and so he started with her and he just hasn't stopped we've done everything…"
"It's okay, I'll handle it tomorrow at the meeting and Ivan what do we do when people insult our mother?"
"Kick their asses"
"Kick their asses, it's time to kick some ass" Ziva said patting Ivan's shoulder as he smirked back at her before following her back into the house where the others stared at them questioningly. Stopping in her tracks Ziva turned slightly to Ivan who stood next to her saying "they're staring at us again" "yes what should we do?" "I don't know, ignore it?" "that doesn't work, it's creeping me out" "yes and momma is getting a look again" "yes and we didn't even drink this time" "I know… oh by the way I asked for you and Teresa said we could go" Ziva said subtly making a drinking motion, nodding Ivan winked saying "Nice, when do you want to go?" "Around 8?" "Sure where do you want to go" "I'm not telling you here" "why not?" "Really?" Ziva asked subtly motioning to Akiva who was glaring at them, nodding Ivan smiled at Akiva waving before saying "you know if she keeps scowling like that, her face is going to stay like that" as he pointed at Akiva, nodding Ziva said "yes, momma that's not a pretty look" shaking her head disappointedly while Akiva rolled her eyes as the others laughed silently.
Smiling Ivan and Ziva walked up to her, kissed her cheek before saying "we still love you, momma" before sitting down on their previous spots as Akiva just shook her head saying "eat your food" a small smile on her face.
