Ziva was sitting quiet watching all this happen, alot has happened over the years but she has never felt so safe and happy at the same time than she does with these people she has come to realise that these people in front of her are her real family not the ones she left back home she was brought out off the thoughts when tony handed over her present

Thank you tony

She opened it up and inside was a bottle off perfume she smiled and said it was her favourite but was a bit disappointed that was all she got after all they have been through she got him $500 of voucher for piano lessons and she got a bottle off perfume she excused herself and went for some fresh air to calm down

As soon as she left they all turned to tony

Tony what were you thinking shouted abbey that's all you got her you spent about $300 on each of us and you got Ziva a little bottle off perfume

Tony looked down not knowing what to say

Go find her DiNozzo make it right growled Gibbs

Yes boss

Tony went in search for Ziva he found her out in the garden leaning up against the wall he stepped in to her personal space putting a hand on the wall next to her head

Abbey shouted at me for not getting you a better present

It's okay tony you didn't have to get me anything but he saw the hurt and disappointment in her eyes

But I did get you something better he started I just was not sure if it was best to give it to you in front of everyone at this Ziva looked up

You didn't have to I like that perfume it's my favourite and expensive

I know but I wanted to

Tony went in to his pocked and pulled out a navy box handing it to her he kissed her cheek and Merry Christmas Ziva he whispered in her ear then went inside as he got to the door he turned and saw her face as she opened the box he smiled and he saw all the emotions cross her face then turn in to a small smile he turned back to the door and saw Abbey with her arms on her hips

Did you make it right DiNozzo snapped Abbey

I think so abs I think so

Abbey walked past him to find Ziva she found her standing in the same spot as tony found her looking at something in her hand she walked over to Ziva and caught a look at what was in her hand and let out a low whistle

Me and tony was walking past this store the other week and I saw this in most amazing star of David necklace in the window it was 18ct white gold with 1 point of a diamond in the centre I fell in love with it but it was $1300 way out off my price range I didn't even think he was paying any attention he just kept walking past

Oh Ziva its beautiful and to think we give him a hard time about not getting you anything

I can't take it...it's too much I have to talk to him with that she went inside, when she got inside everyone was getting ready to go

Abs McGee shouted time to go

Abbey came running into the house and got her things. Tony and Ziva were just standing staring at each other blue locked on brown not backing down
