She never thought in a million years that this would be happening. It started six months ago, when she received an invitation to one Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Jennifer Shepard's wedding. Automatically she presumed that there was no way in hell that she would be attending, but here she is on a plane heading for Washington D.C, also sitting next to her is Tali and next to her Ari. They were not breaking any rules; their father was letting them all go.

How did this all happened?

Why is he letting them go?

~FLASHBACK~

"Ziva, father wants so speak to you, he is in the dining room" Tali called from the bottom of the stairs.

Since the last time she was in a situation similar to this one she taught herself to not jump to any conclusions. So she just went as quickly as she could to the dining room, which on its own was strange for her father let alone wanting to speak to anyone in there rather that his office.

As she rounded the corner she saw her father in a state she had never seen him in before. She had never seen the emotions that were on his face at that very moment, pain and sadness.

Ziva chose to let her presence be known by coughing slightly.

He looked towards her. He looked as if he hadn't slept in a while.

"Father, you wanted to speak to me?" this was a lot different from the situation she found herself in before.

"Ziva" he cleared his throat. He managed to pull himself together a bit. He then pulled out a white envelope that she noticed was addressed to her after he asked her to sit down in the chair to the right if him, he was at the head of the table.

"What is that father?" she was trying to be polite and nonchalant but truth be told she couldn't get her heart to calm down, she was panicking. She always hated being in these situations, her father always made her feel on edge. They had only managed to be able to talk to each other two months after she had been taken back from Washington D.C.

"It is an invitation addressed to you and family; I took the liberty of opening it for you"

"What is the invitation for?" Ziva was so confused.

"To Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Jennifer Shepard's wedding" at that point she got a pang in her heart and her stomach flipped. "Who are these people?" he knew who these people were but he was asking his daughter who they were to her.

"I met them when I was staying in America" she couldn't look into his eyes.

"Is that all, why would they invite you to their wedding?" he wanted a truthful answer from his daughter that had drifted so far away from him that he hardly knew her anymore.

"They took me in and gave me shelter, they were like my family Aba" Ziva was slightly tearful.

There was a long silence.

"Ziva you may have noticed that I have not been quite myself lately" this made Ziva feel like an idiot, it was quite clear that something was wrong. She didn't answer so he continued "Do you remember meeting Shmeul Rubenstein? " Ziva just nodded, he and her father had been partners for just over two years, he also went to school with Ziva; he was very advanced and so flew up the rankings in Mossad and so was in a position to have a partner. "He…he" Eli David, the Eli David of Mossad stuttered "He was killed in a cross fire, he was ambush, he didn't even see it coming" Eli seemed extremely effected by this event. Ziva didn't understand why he was so affected; he had lost partners before, a countless number of times. What came next shocked her "You may go to the wedding, and take Tali and Ari with you" this was only the start "And I will pay for a house in Washington D.C for you all to live in, this will help you start your new life in America"

Ziva was speechless.

Eli recognised the confused look on her face and chose to explain "Shmeul was your age, he, he was so young, I do not want that to happen to you or any of you, I want you to be safe and the only way I can assure that is for you to not be in Mossad, to not be in Israel. I love you all so much. Please go and be safe, can you get Ari and Tali in here please"

Ziva was in shock, how could this be happening. The only thought going round her head was 'this has to be a dream' she felt like she was floating around the house, almost like she wasn't in her own body. She located Ari and Tali in the library. "Aba wants to talk to us" they got up and said nothing to one another, Tali and Ari jut followed Ziva to the dining room.

"Please sit down" he gestured to the chairs down the table.

"What is this about father?" Ari was puzzled

"Your future" that statement hit Ziva hard right in the gut, this was too close to home, she was reminded of that fateful day she ran away.

"What do you mean?" Tali chirped in.

"I wish for you to all leave Mossad and Israel, so that I know you are all safe and well. I will buy you a house in Washington D.C. you will leave in six months, that gives you all and I enough time to sort everything out, plus then also you can all attend Leroy Jethro Gibbs' and Jennifer Shepard's wedding, where Ziva you can thank them formally for all their help and I will give you a letter of thanks from me which you can give to them" Ari and Tali were confused about the wedding part of the conversation; Ziva never told them about what happened in America, it was too painful to relive.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Ziva was pulled out of her day dreams by the pilot making an announcement over the loud speaker. We will shortly be arriving at Washington D.C.

Today was the day of Jenny's and Gibbs' wedding. It was about 4 o'clock in the morning when they landed. It took them two hours to get to their new house. On the journey there, Ziva's stomach started to do back flips; they passed Tony's house, she presumed that it was still his house, he had the same car. She didn't know what their relationship will be like. Had he moved on? She knew that she would see the whole group eventually, it was inevitable.

But she didn't know it would be on that same day.
