A New Life for Tony and Ziva Chapter 1: Finding Ziva, a ncis fanfic

FINDING ZIVA;

There were a few spelling mistakes, and some errors that someone pointed out. Re did it and Reposted.

Tuesday May 17th 2016:

Tony DiNozzo entered his apartment where he found his dad and daughter eating. Setting down his box from the office, he removed his tie as he made his way to the table, gently giving Tali a kiss on the head, and sitting down to join them on a meal of Kugel, a meal that Tony has specially made for his daughter to enjoy. He had also enjoyed it himself when Ziva showed him how to make it years ago.

Anthony: What are you going to do now Son?

Tony: Take care of things here and then head to Israel to see if I can find anything about Ziva and Tali, then after that we'll be heading to France. I would love it if you came along Dad.

Anthony: Yes I would, thank you Tony. What are you going to do with this apartment? And will we ever come back?

Tony: I own this building, I can do whatever I want to it. I don't pay rent on this apartment, it's mine until I say otherwise. Tim has been looking for a place for Delilah and himself, I can easily transform this building into a wheelchair accessible building, with an apartment specially made for them. I'll call Tim and invite them for lunch tomorrow. Be right back.

While Tony called Tim and set up a lunch date for tomorrow, he answered the door, and accepted a parcel. Closing the door, he sat returned to the table, put the package next to him, hung up the phone and sat down.

Tony: Tomorrow at noon. Now what is this package?

Anthony: Looks like a letter or something?

Tony opened the envelope and retrieved a carefully folded letter addressed to him. Reading it quickly, he scanned to see who wrote it and what they wanted. Stopping at the end, he inhaled and breathed out slowly as he started over reading it a second time correctly. Then he folded the letter, and handed it over to his dad to read. After his dad read it, he put it back in the envelope and asked questions that Tony already knew the answers to.

Anthony: Is that real? Is this from her? What the hell is going on here?

Tony: That letter is written by Ziva, she is alive. For some reason she faked her death, and made sure that her…our daughter would arrive safely to me. She knew she was in danger and made sure that there was a way to safety. The letter states that there are clues that she left everywhere that would lead me to her, lead me to the answers to every single question I have. This is unbelievable.

Anthony: Where do we start?

Tony: Israel.

Anthony: And when do we leave?

Tony: In two days.

After a relaxing evening in front of the television watching Disney movies in Hebrew, the DiNozzo household went to bed for a good night sleep. Anthony was the first one up at 5:00 am, after checking his son and granddaughter, he went into the kitchen and started breakfast. Tony came in when the coffee was fully brewed, and smiled as he watched his dad make them coffee, and Italian Omelettes. Sharing breakfast as the sun rose, father and son talked about their trip, Tali, Ziva, and Tonys mother. After showering and getting dressed in a simple pair of jeans, dark green t-shirt, and runners, Tony woke Tali at 9:00 am and got her ready for the day. The family left at 11:00 and headed to meet Timmy and Delilah at a pizza place near their work. Upon arriving, Anthony got them a table in a corner where they will have privacy, while Tony got a highchair for Tali. As soon as they were settled, Tim and Delilah arrived. After ordering, Tony dove right into what this lunch meeting was all about.

Tony: Tim I know you've been searching for the right place for you and Delilah, and I have a solution to your problem. I own the building that I live in, and my apartment is already paid for, and will stay that way for as long as I want. We can renovate the entire building for Delilah, and reconstruct an entire floor into your custom made apartment for the both of you. With a blue plan in hand, I can get everything done for you for free, and in a couple of months or as long as it takes, you can move into your very own apartment.

Tim: Will we have to pay rent?

Tony: No, just the utilities, and whatever else you pay for such as groceries.

Delilah: That's a wonderful idea Tony. Thank you.

Tony: It's no problem. I'll get everything started, and you guys can oversee everything, while Tali, Dad, and I leave for a trip to Israel, France, and maybe other places. A summer of enjoying the sights. I'll be in touch by phone, and computer if you need me for anything.

Delilah: When are you leaving?

Tony: Tomorrow.

Tim: That doesn't leave me much time to plan something.

Tony: Take all the time you need Tim. Here is the business card that you need, call them up and tell them what you want, and they will do it. The bill automatically gets sent to my account, and is paid in full immediately. All you have to do is figure out what you want, and they will help you get it done. And here are a set of keys to our building.

Tim takes the business card and keys and then puts them into his wallet. Their food arrives, and everyone starts eating. Tim's mind starts racing as one idea after another begin popping up, but he stops when Tony begins talking again.

Tony: The building has four floors, I have the top floor, no one lives on the first floor, so it can very easily be redone anyway you want to have it done for your comfort. Tim you'll be starting a new job as Gibbs second in command. I'm proud of you, and I know you'll do a fantastic job.

Tim: Thanks Tony, but no one could ever walk in your shoes, and do the job the way you've done it for the last fifteen years. You're a legend.

Tony: And now I'm passing the torch onto you. Make the job your own, don't try and pretend to be me.

Tim: I won't Tony. I'm going to miss you.

Tony: I'll be back. And I won't be away forever, anyone can reach me on my phone or on the computer at any given time. You need me call me, text me, email me. Got it.

Tim: Got it.

After talking about different subjects and enjoying their lunch, everyone went their own way that afternoon. Anthony went back to his place and packed up, moving everything to his son's place, and letting the landlord know he was leaving for good. Tony started packing for their trip to Europe, and playing with his daughter.

Later on that night after Tony fed his daughter her dinner, and got her ready for bed, father and son remained up getting ready for the biggest adventure of their lives together as a family. Anthony and Tony packed t-shirts, shorts, summer outfits, and made sure they weren't missing anything. While preparing for tomorrow they talked about how they were going to get to Beersheba in the Negev Desert of Southern Israel.

Anthony: How long does it take to get to Israel?

Tony: It's a twelve hour flight to get from WAS Airport to Tel Aviv Airport in Israel, and then from there it's a one hour drive to get to Beersheba. So we're looking at a one hour car ride to the airport, three hours at the airport before boarding, a twelve hour flight, being at their airport for another three hours before taking the hour drive to where we are ending up. A twenty hour day to get to where we want to start.

Anthony: And what are we looking for when we get there?

Tony: Answers. Ziva set up a secret clue that I can only access. Whatever I find there will take me to the next step and the next clue.

Anthony: So there is a password?

Tony: Yea, a series of tests to prove that you are indeed Tony DiNozzo. You pass, you get the information, you fail you die. Pretty simple.

Anthony: And what are the tests?

Tony: Read the letter dad. It's all in there.

Anthony picked up the letter and began to read as his son helped him understand the tests, and the missions that they were about to embark on in order to find Ziva David and all the answers to every question Tony had and so much more.

"Dear Tony by the time you get this letter I hope that our daughter is safely in your arms, and I know that you have gotten the news that I have perished in a fire. They tried to kill you and failed. They tried to kill my family and succeeded on killing my parents and siblings, but they could never, and will never kill me, and I had to make sure that our daughter never suffered the same disasters that we have. When I found out that there was a mole, I secretly worked hard to make sure that I would come out of this alive, that you would survive, and that our daughter would never be harmed. Tali was conceived in France, we started our journey in June, and she was conceived in July. I didn't tell you because I knew you would drop everything over there and be with me, be with us. I couldn't disrupt your life, I couldn't call and say what I wanted to say. And I wish I had. I'm so sorry Tony, please forgive me. Tali was born on April 14th 2014 at 4 in the morning after going through fourteen hours of labour. I've already given you my first clue, please be careful my love, and find me. I'll be waiting for you forever for your return, so that we can be reunited as a family. Love Ziva."

Anthony: Where is the clue?

Tony: It's a number.

Anthony: Okay?

Tony: Dad she's talking in code.

Anthony: And the code is?

Tony: Can't tell you, can't tell anyone yet.

Anthony: When?

Tony: When we get there I'll tell you.

After getting very little sleep, Anthony, Tony, and Tali were off to the airport to board their flight for the 20 hour trip to where Ziva was last seen alive. They took with them a suitcase, and a carry on each, plus a stroller for Tali. Once they arrived at the hotel, Tony immediately started setting things up, while Anthony went out and got them some food. Tali was more comfortable for the trip back because she was with her Abba. Tony and Anthony slept in one room with Tali between them that night, and when the sun rose, it dawned on a brand new journey of finding Ziva and the secrets that lie within.

May 20th 2016 at 5:00 in the morning found Tony DiNozzo getting ready for the day in Beersheba. After showering, he got dressed in a beige t-shirt, shorts and sandals. He wanted to make sure he blended in, instead of stand out. He woke his dad before heading out to get breakfast, by the time he returned Anthony was showered and dressed, and was just getting their little girl up. They ate, got Tali ready for the day, and then headed out with a carry on, and her stroller.

Their first stop was to see the farmhouse, and the land that Ziva lived on for the last two years. After a careful inspection, Tony left with his father and daughter knowing that there was nothing left to save there. The second stop had the three of them walking through a graveyard. They entered a church, and walked to the library where the clue would be. Tony sat down at a table, and asked his dad to wait for him, and left him to look after Tali for a few minutes. Tony returned with a book, sat down and started his investigation into finding the clues to what Ziva had hidden for him to find.

Anthony: A book about numbers?

Tony: The number four comes up twice and the number fourteen comes up three times.

Anthony: And that means what?

Tony: Creation - twice, Deliverance and Salvation – three times. I know where it is. Let's go.

Anthony: Where what is?

Tony: Where Ziva kept her vault of secrets from the world.

Following Tony, Anthony didn't know where they were going, but would follow his son to the end of the earth if it meant finding Ziva, and all the answers to the questions they had. They walked to a small hospital, and made their way to the basement, where old things got stored. Tony quietly walked along the hallway looking for the number 44141414. Once he found the number, he put in the code 4142014, and it opened to a small room with three small boxes of information for Tony's eyes only. Closing the door behind them, all three settled in and stared at the three small boxes that Ziva had specifically kept for Tony under lock and key.

Tony: Dad, stand guard, I'm going to put everything into this bag, and then we're leaving.

Anthony: Why aren't we staying?

Tony: The director is suspicious of me being here, and if I overstay my welcome they'll track me down and demand answers. Right now they are confirming that I'm not on a NCIS case. We need to leave Israel before they have a chance to catch up with me.

Anthony: Then where are we going next?

Tony: That's what I need to find out.

Opening the first box, Tony put three carefully made scrapbooks into his bag, in the second box he placed three journals and three dvd's into his bag, and when he opened the last box he carefully placed three files into his bag, before zipping up, and informing his dad that they were ready to go back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Anthony went out and got them lunch, and Tony asked him to pick up some more items as well, Tony thought his dad would ask questions, but did as he was told without a word. He returned half an hour later to find the bed covered with all the things they brought back, Tony's computer was on the desk, and Tali was enjoying playing on the floor.

Anthony: Looks like you've been busy son.

Tony: Never stopped working dad. The three scrapbooks were specially done by Ziva. The first one is about Tali, from the moment she was conceived to the day the fire happened. The three journals support the scrapbook, she talks in detail about her pregnancy, delivery, and her life as a Mom to Tali, telling her all about us, singing different songs, and teaching our daughter about Hebrew, Italian, French and American. Tali's birth certificate is in here, and the file is her file. Ziva made sure they were safe from harm. Tali's full name is Tali Elizabeth DiNozzo.

Anthony: She named your daughter after her dead sister and your mother, and gave Tali your last name. What about the other two scrapbooks, three dvd's, and two files?

Tony placed the first file into the scrapbook, of his daughter into his suitcase, as well as the three journals that talked about Ziva' life as a Mom, Tony grabbed some food for both him and Tali, and started feeding his daughter while Anthony sat down and ate as well as listened to his son.

Tony: The second scrapbook is about our journey that we took that summer, we went to Israel, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, as well as a few places in the States. It was magical, and she made a scrapbook of it. The last scrapbook is everything she wanted to keep that meant the world to her, pictures of her family, of my family, pictures of our family at NCIS, and other stuff, just random, but equally special in its own way. The two files are a mystery to me, at first glance they don't make sense, but I'll figure it out, and I haven't checked out the dvd's yet.

Anthony: And the computer?

Tony: I'm downloading the information from the dvd's onto my computer, going to check out my e-mails, and then after reviewing the dvd's I'll destroy them, and after reviewing the two files I'll destroy those as well as the letter Ziva sent me. Once I've figured out the next clue we pack and up and leave. And I'm hoping we leave tonight.

Anthony: That's why you asked me to buy those extra things. Have you always been this through with everything?

Tony: Yes dad, started that way back at the beginning when I was just a street cop, and when I climbed the ranks, I just got better at my job, and now its second nature to me.

Anthony: I'm proud of you son, and I'll help in any way I can.

Tony got up and put the two scrapbooks into his suitcase, cleaned up his daughter, and put her down for her afternoon nap, picked up the two files, and handed his dad one of them. Sitting back down, he smiled as father and son started working together to find out the second clue Ziva had left for them.

Anthony: This woman fits Ziva's description to a T, but she isn't Ziva.

Tony: And this man is a highly specialized doctor across Europe.

Anthony: Last name is Balboa.

Tony: And her husband is Dr. Balboa. They're husband and wife. Ziva found them, befriended them, and found a way to hatch a secret plan to save herself and her daughter. He helped her escape.

Anthony: And she helped Ziva through her pregnancy, birth, and raising Tali.

Tony: She sacrificed herself in order for Ziva and Tali to live. Look at where they reside.

Anthony: And that is where we are going next.

Anthony worked at destroying the two files and letter, as Tony downloaded the three dvd's onto his computer, Anthony destroyed those as well. Both father and son packed up, and with their precious one close to them still asleep, they left the hotel to make their way out of Israel and to Italy. They drove to the airport with no problems, and boarded the flight to Italy with no hassles. All three of them arrived in Italy at Midnight, they made their way to a hotel and checked in for the night. Tali never stirred, comforted and safe in the love of her Abba and Grandfather.

Tony was up at 5:00 in the morning of May 21st 2016, he poured a cup of coffee, and sat back at the desk to go through the contents of three dvd's, and check his e-mail on his computer while his dad and daughter slept. Putting on his earplugs, he played the first dvd and found a video that Ziva insisted to be made to capture the birth of Tali. The second one consisted of an interview from Ziva talking to Tony about who Dr. Charlene Balboa, and Dr. Anthony Balboa were all about, where they lived, and what they were going to do for her and their daughter. It was a plan that was set up long before it was executed. The third dvd showed proof of who set the fire, and what had happened that night.

Anthony woke at 9:00 to find his son just getting up to order breakfast and get a second cup of coffee. He saw that Tony had been up for a while, and just allowed him to think while getting a shower and getting himself ready for the day. Tony sat down and had breakfast while going through his e-mails, he sent a copy of the dvd of what actually happened in Israel off to Tim, and responded to each e-mail form everyone who wanted to know how he was doing and how Tali was. With his dad ready for the day, Tony went and had his own shower and got ready, while Anthony woke Tali, and had breakfast with her. Tony poured himself a third cup of coffee, shut down his computer, put it away, and got his daughter ready for the day.

Tony arrived at a mansion off the beaten path of Italy, no one would have been able to find it if they didn't know where to look, with his dad at his side, and his daughter in her stroller, they walked up to the door of Dr. Anthony Balboa at 11:00 that morning. Tony dressed in a smart white shirt, forest green suit, and a white and forest green striped tie with a pair of black shoes. His dad dressed in a forest green shirt, black pants, and comfortable shoes, and Tali dressed up in a forest green summer dress with white sandals. Her hair done up in white butterfly barrettes.

Dr. Anthony Balboa personally answered the door, and escorted his guests in. After closing the door, he wasn't surprised that Tony found him so quickly. He led his guests to the living room where they could sit down and chat.

Balboa: Coffee?

All three men poured themselves a cup of coffee, Tony got Tali her baba of juice, and got her lunch from the compartment he kept under her stroller, where all of her things were kept when they were on the road. Tony divided his attention between Dr. Balboa and his daughter.

Balboa: Ziva told me you were smart, but I had no idea she wasn't exaggerating on how quick you can pick up clues, and put them together, find people quicker than the average person. You truly are amazing Tony. And Ziva did an amazing job of making sure that she got out of that house as quickly as she did. My wife sacrificed herself because she wanted to make sure that Ziva lived. I transported Ziva in the dead of night to here, where I took care of her. She suffered first degree burns, smoke inhalation, and her hair was burned off completely. With a round of my trusted staff we took care Ziva here, she healed, and rested here before I could give her a clean bill of health.

Tony: Where is Ziva now?

Balboa: Did you receive those documents from the three boxes?

Tony: Three scrapbooks, three journals, three dvd's, and three files. We packed the scrapbooks and journals, downloaded the dvd's then destroyed them, and we kept Tali's file, read yours and your wife's, then burned them.

Balboa: And the letter she sent you?

Tony: Memorized it and burned it. You're dancing around my question doc. Where is Ziva?

Balboa: Ziva arrived here in the early hours of May 11th, we treated her injuries, and she spent ten days healing. Ziva told me that the answer to your question is in the letter she sent you. The clues are all in there. Ziva asked me to drop her off at the train station for the six and half hour trip to France. I dropped her off at nine this morning. She should be arriving in Paris, France at about four this afternoon, if there aren't any delays.

Tony: Why didn't she stay here and wait for me?

Balboa: You sent McGee the video of the fire right?

Tony: Yes.

Balboa: Ziva told me that she had to stay ahead of who wants her dead, and you have to stay one step behind the person who wants her dead. I didn't understand it, but she insisted that you would understand what she was talking about.

Tony: We took care of it, she's safe now. And I resigned from NCIS in order to find her. I want us to be a family.

Balboa: Then what are you waiting for Tony? Go see Ziva.

Tony: Don't tell anyone about this, if anyone asks deny everything you just told me, or you'll wind up dead. Thank you for taking care of my family.

Dr. Balboa: You're welcome Tony.

Tony, Anthony, and Tali left the house and returned to the hotel. Once there Anthony wondered what was next for them, were they going to go directly to France, or did his son have another plan? His son spoke first.

Tony: We're going to fly back home, take care of the apartment, ship everything to Paris, France and then we'll be off to live a new life there as one happy family.

Anthony: Where in Paris are you sending everything to?

Tony opened up the scrapbook that chronicled their trip together that summer, and pointed out a picture of them at a hotel, and told his dad that everything will be shipped to this address.

Tony: Ziva would know what to do once everything gets there. We had a plan, and if it was executed Ziva would know that we're safe or coming home to her. If it was never executed then she would know that we are all still in danger or I was never coming back.

Anthony: You two are brilliant.

Tony: Soulmates Dad.

Anthony: Definitely.

Tony: Let's pack up and head home dad. Twelve hour flight home from here, three hours in an airport in both locations, that's six hours in an airport. We'll be home in twenty hours.

May 22nd 2016 at 9:00 am. The three of them arrive at Tony's apartment, Tony puts his daughter down to sleep a little bit more while his dad puts their suitcases in the room, and start making them something to eat, and brew them some coffee. Tony's phone rang as he entered the kitchen, and when he saw it was McGee, he picked it up immediately.

Tony: Hey Tim how are you?

Tim: Where are you Tony?

Tony: At my apartment, we just got back this morning.

Tim: I'm on my way to you.

Tony: Can't talk on the phone?

Tim: Not about this. See you in twenty.

Tony: See you then Tim.

Closing his phone, Tony reaches for his cup of coffee and takes a long drink as he processes what had happened in the last few days. Eleven days ago the world presumed that Ziva David was dead, and now he had proof that she was alive and well, living and waiting for them in Paris, France. Does he tell Tim the truth, or does he continue to pretend that she is dead and move on with his life with his daughter without anyone knowing the truth? There is nothing for him here anymore, but over there she is waiting for them to return to her. With the world knowing that they were alive, they remained targets throughout their lives, and when one was found dead, no one hunted for her, and when he resigned no one stopped him. And if he told a soul they would be hunted for the rest of their lives, their daughter would be in more danger then they were combined, and that vicious cycle would never end, and he needed to end it now, once and for all for their daughter.

Tony: Dad, Tim is coming by to talk about that dvd I sent him about the events of the fire. I need you to promise me to never tell a soul that Ziva is alive. I'm going to tell Tim that I found evidence that Ziva had perished, and now I'm going to pack up my life here and move to Paris, France with Tali to start a brand new life with her and you.

Anthony: Why don't you want anyone to know, I would think they would be thrilled that she is alive?

Tony: We were targets all our lives, and when Ziva was pronounced dead, no one searched for her to make sure that she was truly dead, and when I resigned, no one stopped me from leaving. We are free now, and if we suddenly announce to the world that Ziva is alive, we will never have a normal life, and neither will our daughter. And we want our daughter to have the kind of life we never had.

Anthony: I understand son. I won't say a word. Let's start packing up. I'll start with my things.

Tony: Thanks Dad.

Anthony: Tony would it be alright if I went to Italy instead, I want to visit relatives.

Tony: You can go anywhere you want Dad.

Anthony: Thanks Son.

Anthony went and started packing up and shipping his things to a relative in Italy, while Tony stayed in the living room waiting for Tim. It didn't take long for Tim to arrive, and pretty soon they hugged, and said hello to each other. Once Tony offered Tim a cup of coffee, they sat down at the kitchen table and talked.

Tim: I received your video, and with some extensive research we found out that Ziva David perished in the fire, and with the evidence you found, it concluded that Oli was right.

Tony: I know Tim. I'm going to pack up everything that I want to take with me to Paris, and give the rest to anyone who wants it, the building will be transferred into your name and you'll be the sole owner of this building, you get to do whatever you want to this place. Smash it and start brand new if you want.

Tim: Really?

Tony: I love France, heck I love Europe. I want to give my daughter everything I never got, that Ziva never got. I was thinking of throwing a goodbye party here tomorrow, can you tell everyone to be here tomorrow afternoon, I'll be going through the stuff I don't want and anyone who wants it can have it, and the rest will go to charity.

Tim: I can do that Tony. I'm going to miss you.

Tony: I'll always be reachable by phone and computer Tim. How is work so far?

Tim: It's doing great. I had no idea how hard your job really was. It's empowering.

Tony: You'll do fine Tim. I know you will.

Tim: Thanks Tony. I got to go, I'm meeting Delilah for lunch.

Tony: Thanks for stopping by Tim, see you tomorrow afternoon.

Tim: See you then.

Once Tim left, Tony started packing up his apartment, sorting things into two piles, the things he wanted, and the things he didn't want. Everything that he wanted got shipped to the address in Paris, France, and the things he didn't want remained where they were so that when everyone came tomorrow afternoon, they could pick what they wanted with no hassles. Tony and Anthony worked at packing up the apartment all day and through the night, while also taking care of Tali. She watched all her favourite shows and movies in Hebrew, and she loved being with her Abba and Grandfather. To her it was pajama day with two of her favourite people.

Both Father and Son were still busy packing when the sun rose and announced a brand new day to them. Monday, May 23rd 2016 has arrived. Tomorrow would be the two week anniversary of Ziva's death, and Tony is hoping that he will be able to celebrate their freedom with the only woman he ever loved and the mother of his child. They finally finished at 7:00 that morning, and could finally close a chapter and open another on their lives. Tony and Anthony went into the kitchen, Tony put on a fresh pot of coffee on, while Anthony started cooking breakfast. When they both sat down to eat, they ate in silence each lost in their own thoughts.

After eating, they cleaned up and went through the apartment one last time before waking Tali up. Tony had his suitcase packed with his clothes, her clothes, the scrapbooks, journals, his computer, and a travel size case full of DVD's of both music and movies for the trip. Next to his suitcase laid Anthony's suitcase that was packed with his own clothes, and other bathroom things that he would need while traveling.

After getting Tali ready for the day, and himself ready for the day, Tony included the bathroom stuff into his suitcase, and closed it shut, ready to roll out at a moment's notice. Anthony got himself ready for the day before joining his son and granddaughter in the living room. They were watching a Hebrew Cartoon that is one of Tali's favourites. Standing there with his suitcase at his side, he looked younger dressed in a simple pair of brown pants with a white shirt. Tony looked up, and realized that it was time for his dad to go. Both Tali and Tony said their goodbyes, and when Tony closed the door after his dad left, he wondered if they would continue having a close relationship in Europe. Shaking his head, he headed back to the couch to join his daughter watching cartoons together.

Dressed in forest green pants, white shirt, and a pair of black shoes, Tony was ready for his guests, the table was set with different kinds of food on it, and his daughter was dressed to impress in a forest green dress with white butterfly pattern, and wearing a pair of white sandals, with her hair loose, she looked a lot like her mother. Tony and Tali had lunch watching cartoons before the party. The doorbell rang at exactly 1:00 that afternoon, and when Tony opened the door everyone came in and made themselves comfortable. After serving everyone their refreshments, Tony started.

Tony: I need a fresh start, and since I love France so much, and a lot of other places in Europe, I want to give Tali an experience that is different than mine or Ziva's. After confirming her death, I went ahead and started packing up here and sending everything that I want to France, where I will now reside with my daughter. Everything that is left over is for you, and what you don't want you can donate it to charity. Tim I have the forms for you to sign, and the building is legally yours.

Tim stood up, signed the forms, and took the keys from Tony. After tucking them away, he thanked Tony again and then sat down next to Delilah. Everyone sat there stunned into silence after what Tony had said, and it took them time to process it all.

Tony: I have a flight booked for seven tonight, we leave here at three, in order to make it to the airport for four. It's an eight hour flight to France, and then arriving there at three am, our time, we will have another three hours in an airport before we even head to the hotel, by then it'll be seven am our time, and 1:00 in the afternoon over there, and both Tali and I will be exhausted with all the time differences, and jetleg, and traveling. There is a six hour time difference between us and Paris, France.

Abby: Tony we're going to miss you. I didn't realize you were moving so far away, and now that you've talked about your reasons, I'm happy for you and Tali. I wish you both the very best.

Abby hugged Tony, and then went to the table to get some food. Everyone followed her in saying goodbye to Tony, and then getting themselves something to eat. Everyone watched as Tony went to the Piano and began playing a song, and as he started singing everyone just enjoyed the music.

When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

After playing them a song, Tony went and got their suitcase, lifted his daughter into his arms and left the apartment to start a brand new life. Boarding the 7:00 pm flight to Paris, France, Tali slept the entire way, while Tony rocked her in his arms. The plane landed in Paris at 9:00 am their time, and Tali was just starting to wake up after sleeping the entire way in her Abba's arms, and Tony had ended up falling asleep as well. Both rested, Tony carried his daughter off the plane, and went to pick up his suitcase. After going through everything, and getting some food into them, Tony hailed a cab, and headed to the hotel. Arriving there, he knew there was a surprise waiting for them in the hotel room.

Walking through the door of the hotel room with Tali in his left arm, and the suitcase at his side, he was paid more attention to making sure the suitcase and Tali got into the room safely before he focused on who else was in the room with them. And when he looked up, his eyes shone, his smile was only for her, and as she walked towards them, Tali reached out, and so did Tony. She embraced them as they all cried tears of joy. Breaking apart just enough, Tony bent down and kissed her deeply and passionately before they all sat down.

Ziva: Welcome home Tony.

Tony: Will you marry me?

Ziva: Yes.
