Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS that credit belongs to Don Bellisario and CBS and here in Australia Network Ten. I only own the things you don't recognise.

AN: ok so about this fic. Um Gibbs has retired but he still features. Its Tony's team now. There is a new member called Seth Morgan – he's a tad evil. Ziva and Tony are married and have a child, so the Ziva in this fic isn't the usual Crazy Mossad chick we see, as she has mellowed abit since having a daughter. Enjoy. Also read Moscow Man. Tell me what you think about it. Enjoy.

It was early morning in DC. 06:30am to be exact and Tony was asleep, peacefully sleeping.

4years earlier:

"Do you take Ziva to be your lawful wedded wife?" the minister asked Tony.

"I do" replied Tony.

"And do you Ziva; take Anthony to be your lawful wedded husband?"

"I do" replied a happy Ziva.

The minister closed his bible and smiled at Tony and Ziva "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride"

Tony turned and smiled at Ziva, she smiled back. Tony lent in and kissed her. The wedding day was fantastic. Tony couldn't have asked for a better day. Both he and Ziva had decided to have an outside wedding. Everyone had been invited, including Leon Vance and Mike Franks. Gibbs gave Ziva away, with McGee as Tony's best man and Abby as Ziva's bridesmaid. Ziva looked stunning in a white strapless dress while Tony looked handsome in a black suit, white shirt and a sliver tie.

2yrs after the wedding:

"Come on Zi, almost there" said Tony as he encouraged his wife.

"Congratulations. Tony, Ziva you have a beautiful baby girl" the doctor informed them. "Tony would you like to cut the cord?"

Tony nodded and was handed a pair of scissors, after that was don't the baby was cleaned, wrapped and given to Ziva.

"She's beautiful"

"What are we going to call her?" Tony asked.

"Tali Eve DiNozzo"

"Perfect"

NCIS had changed. Leon Vance was still Director. McGee and Abby were dating. Ducky had retired and now Jimmy Palmer was head Medical Examiner and Gibbs had also retired. It was now Tony's team and they had a new member – Seth Morgan who had transferred from Hawaii. No one really knew what his story was. Not even Vance and Seth, well Seth was secretive. He didn't really open up to anyone and he knew how to get on people's bad side.

PRESENT:

Little Tali DiNozzo crept into her parent's room with her mother looking on from the bedroom door. Tali climbed onto the bed and looked at her mother and then to her sleeping father, then she began to jump on the bed.

"Wake up daddy, daddy wake up" she cried as she jumped.

Tony groggily woke up and saw Tali jumping up and down, before she had time o notice her father was awake, Tony grabbed her legs and Tali fell down on the bed where she was now being tickled.

"Mummy, help me" she asked Ziva as she laughed. "MUMMY!"

Ziva came into the room and jumped on the bed, grabbing Tony's arms and pinning them down above his head. "Quick Tali get him"

Tali jumped on Tony's stomach and began to tickle Tony. Tony began to laugh. After the laughing and tickling had stopped Tony went to the shower and Ziva got breakfast ready.

"So what time did you wake up this morning?" asked Tony as he sat down at the table.

"3am, she had a dream about a M-O-N-S-T-E-R" answered Ziva as she spelt the last word out, not wanting to freak their daughter out anymore, if she said the word. "I honestly can not believe you did not hear her. I swear Tony, what 2yr old watches 'Return of the Headless Horseman"

"I thought it was a good idea at the time" Tony answered with a smirk.

"Next time" replied Ziva. "You deal with it"

08:30:

Ziva and Tony entered the bullpen late. Vance who was coming down the stairs saw them enter and he headed towards Tony's desk "Everything OK with Tali?"

"Sorry we are late. Tali did not want to go to day care today. She had a bete noire" Ziva explained.

Vance nodded "I remember when my kids were little, not only did they have nightmares but also bed wetting"

Tony rolled his eyes he didn't really want to hear about Vance's kids "Well we better get some work done" he told him.

Seth looked up from his desk "Ahhh....Special Agent David. Glad you arrived at work"

"Thankyou for your concern Special Agent Morgan. It is noted"

"I'm so over this paperwork" stated McGee a couple of hours later. "Why don't we have a case?"

"Over it?" you've only been doing it for half an hour. Try doing it for two" Seth said to McGee.

"Well, whose fault's that?"

"Shut it McNerd" replied Seth rather angrily.

"Hey knock it off. It's McGee"

"Both of you put a shoe in it" suggested Ziva who was getting tired of Seth trying to start arguments with everyone.

"Sock, in it Ziva" replied McGee, correcting her.

"Whatever. Just stop arguing"

"Can I go get a coffee" asked Seth as he threw his pen down a couple of minutes later.

"Have you finished your paperwork" asked Tony getting up from his own desk and walking over to Seth's

"Almost"

"You know what Morgan? Just go" replied an exasperated Tony.

"Thanks Boss" Seth replied happily.

"Why'd you let him go?" asked McGee as he watched Seth walk into the elevator and doors close behind him.

"Did you really want to listen to him complain?" asked Tony in all seriousness.

"He is worse than you" Ziva told Tony.

McGee smirked at the comment "he actually finished?"

Tony lifted up what Seth had been doing for the past 2hrs. In that time he had written a paragraph and had just been scribbling on a piece of paper.

"Defiantly worse that you" Ziva commented upon seeing what Seth had done.

AN: Unless there is a movie out there called "The return of the Headless horseman" the creator owns it, but if not. Its mine. You now know what you have to do. Green button, anyone?
