New Story. English is not my first language hope you like it.
Ziva could hardly believe her eyes when she saw the woman in the interrogation room. It couldn't be her. She is supposed to be dead. She died 12 years ago. Who is she? It couldn't be Rivka, her Ima. All the years she thought that her father let somebody kill her because they got divorced.
Since then Rivka hated Ziva like Ziva thought. Rivka took Tali with her but not Ziva or Ari. She said that she don't want to have violent in her new home and for her it was when they would be with her.
Because her father raised them to be in Mossad. To be the perfect solider. Her mother haven't done anything to help them to get away from Mossad. She barley talked with Ziva after the divorce. And Rivka blamed Ziva for the death of Tali because Tali visited her when she died.
Ziva watched the woman behind the class. It couldn't be her mother but what if her death was a cover up and she went away from Israel? When she also ran away from her kids and she knew what Eli would do with them.

"Grab your gear" Gibbs said "We got a case". With that he went to the elevator with his team on his six. They arrived at the crime scene 15 minutes later.
The dead man was a Navy lieutenant and the witness was his wife. "DiNozzo bag and tag, McGee photos, David talk to the witness" Gibbs said. "On it boss" the three said.
Ziva wanted to go to the witness when she realised who it was. Or who she thought she was. The woman looked like Ziva's mother. But she died years ago. It couldn't be her. Maybe the woman just looks a bit like her Ima.
But when Ziva saw the woman's face she knew that it was her mother. Even if she hadn't seen her for 15 years she knew that it was her.
Ziva stopped and looked at the woman who didn't see Ziva. "Ziver?" Gibbs said as he walked to her. Ziva didn't respond so he called her again "Ziver". Now he stood next to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Ziver, what's up?"
Ziva looked at Gibbs and said "I think I know the woman"
"Who is she?" Gibbs asked calm. "And where do you know her from?"
"I think… but it can't be possible… she is supposed to be… but…"
"A real sentence Zivers" Gibbs said.
Ziva took a deep breath before she answered "She looks like my mother, but she died years ago"
"Are you sure?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes, I am" Ziva said.
"Ok" Gibbs said. "Ziva you switch with McGee" Ziva nodded and did what he said.
By Ziva and Tony
"He Zi what's up? You look upset." Tony asked her.
"The witness looks like my mother" Ziva said and looked him into the eyes.
"I thought your mother died years ago"
"Until now I thought the same" Ziva answered.
"But Ziva why are you upset then? This is wonderful you have your mother back. Do you know how lucky I would be if I got my mother back?"
"Tony it is complicated. I am not happy to have her back. That's only trouble" Ziva answered.
"Why should it be trouble?" Tony asked her still with a smile on his face.
"Because she never was a mother to me Tony" Ziva said.
"Why?"
"I told you that my parents got divorced when I was a kid right?" Ziva asked and Tony nodded.
"My mother took Tali with her because she wanted to protect her from being in Mossad. I was glad that she did but she barley talked with me or Ari after she moved away because we already had been in Mossad. And when Tali died she visited us. I was in a café with her when she died. I only survived because I was on my way to the toilet. Our mother blamed me for her death, said that it was my fault. The last time I saw her and she talked with me was at Talis funeral. "
"You should have told me that Zi. I am so sorry. But maybe everything is different now. I mean that was over 12 years ago."
Ziva took a deep breath and said "Maybe you are right"
Back at NCIS Tony and Ziva sat on their places and worked. But when they heard the familiar Bing from the elevator, they looked into the direction.
When Ziva saw who came out of it she turned around again and ignored the person who was her mother. "Ziva" she said and looked at her daughter. But Ziva ignored her.
"Ma'am" Gibbs said when he realised that Ziva didn't want to talk with her. "You have to come with me." Rivka nodded and Gibbs and she walked into the interrogation room.
"You wait here" he said and left the room.
Gibbs went to Tony and Ziva and said "You two with me."
They stood up and followed him to the interrogation room. Gibbs went in and the two took the other door to watch the interrogation from behind the glass.
"I want to see my daughter Agent…."
"Gibbs" he said. "And she would enter the room now if she wants to see you." Gibbs added and both looked at the door but Ziva wasn't coming in.
"Are you sure that you don't want to see her Zivs?" Tony asked.
"Yes I am. That must sound cold for you but…"
"No I understand you" Tony said and placed his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
"You know what the last words she said to me had been?"
"Tell me" Tony said when Ziva leaned in his touch.
"She said that it was my fault that Tail died and that she is never going to forgive me as long as she lives and that it should have been me and not her who died" Ziva said and closed her eyes.
Tony took her in his arms and said "Hey I am sure she didn't mean it like that. She was just upset and when she sees you now. When she sees what a wonderful person what a beautiful, strong woman you turned into she would be proud of you and happy to see you"
Ziva smiled and said "Thank you Tony." She looked into his eyes and he said "That what friends are for my ninja"
"I want to see Ziva now" Rivka said again.
"She is behind the glass and you see that she don't want to see you so answer my questions now."
"Did you husband have enemies?"
"No but he argued with someone he knows. His name is Paul… Paul Simmons"
"DiNozzo, Ziver" Gibbs said and the two knew what they have to do.
They went back to their desks to check Paul Simmons background.
After a while Gibbs came back down with Rivka who needed to go to toilet.
They saw Tony leaning on Ziva's desk while he was talking with her. They had their typical eye conversation when Tony felt a hand on the back of his head and Gibbs said "Back to work"
"On it Boss" Tony said and went back to his desk while Ziva grinned.
"Ziva" Rivka said again and Ziva stopped smiling and said "I am by Abby" and walked to the elevator and got in.
"Why isn't she talking with me Agent Gibbs?" Rivka asked.
"You know her better then I. She needs time. Give it to her" he said.
"Are she and Agent DiNozzo…?"
Gibbs grinned and said "No, they are just partners and friends there is nothing more between them."
Rivka was back in the interrogation room when Ziva entered the bullpen again.
"Ziver" Gibbs said when she sat down. "Are you sure you do not want to talk with her?"
"Yes Gibb I am" Ziva said and was back in her old ice cold Mossad stadium. No emotions on her face or in her voice which he hated.
"She thinks you hate her" Gibbs said.
"She is right I hate her" Ziva said.
"Ziver she is your mother" Gibbs said. "Go and talk with her"
"Gibbs I do not want to talk with her" Ziva said.
One hour later Gibbs said to them that they could go home.
In the elevator Tony said "He Zivs I understand if you are not in the mood for our weekly movie night today"
"Tony we are doing our movie night like always what happened today isn't going to destroy our movie night." Ziva said and smiled.
"That's good. I come in two hours. You do not need to cook I bring pizza with me" Tony said and both walked to their cars and got in.
Two hour later Tony stood in front of Ziva's door with a pizza and a movie in the one hand and in the other one a six pack with beer because when he was the last time by Ziva he drank the last bottle beer.
He knocked at the door and Ziva opened it with a smile on her face which Tony returned. "Hey" she said while Tony entered her flat.
"Hi missed me?" Tony said with his typical Tony grin.
"How couldn't I miss you?" Ziva joked.
Tony sat down on the sofa and said "What do you want to watch? I have the classic from Alfred Hitchcock Psycho, James Bond casino royal, the one with Daniel Craig and the first Indiana Jones movie with Harrison Ford. I thought something classical would be perfect for today."
But just now he realised what an idiot he is. Psycho? Really DiNozzo the perfect movie now when Ziva's mother is back.
"Maybe we could watch Indiana Jones because we have already seen the James Bond movie" Ziva said while she sat down next to Tony.
"Ziva, Ziva, Ziva what should I do with you? We have seen a James Bond movie with Sean Connery that's a different person. How could you?"
"Come on Tony. Just put the movie in and shut up" Ziva said and rolled her eyes.
"Did you just… roll your eyes to me?" Tony said.
"Tony" Ziva hissed.
"Calm down bossy I will put the movie in" Tony said and grinned while he walked to the DVD-player.
Suddenly he felt something hit his back and he turned around and saw a grinning Ziva on the sofa and when he looked down a pillow in front of him.
"Ziva David did you just throw a pillow at me?" Tony asked.
"Yes I did and the next time you laugh at me it will not be a pillow" Ziva said with a smile on her face.
"Oww poor Ziva" Tony said and picked up the pillow but in the same moment another hit him at his head.
"Hey!" he said "Stop Ninja and my head is Gibbs territory you know that and stop messing my hair. Do you know how long it took me to style them?"
"Hmm let me guess" Ziva said. "A minute? I mean look at them" she said and pointed at his hair.
"They are so messy" she added.
Bad for her that Tony now had two pillows and threw one at her with an offended face. But then he had to laugh because of the face Ziva made. Soon there was a pillow fight and when Tony landed on Ziva and both fell down at the floor they had to laugh.
