Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS.

A/N: Thank you so much to Madame. Alexandra for letting me use her story Daughter to make this story up, you won't necessarily need to read that one to get this one but it would be a good is written in Ziva's point of view apart from the first little paragraph.

She knew how much it took him to say that. She knew what he ment.

After that interrogation Ziva knew she could never work at NCIS ever again, but she knew that was what he wanted to make her feel insecure about this she knew what he meant when he told her that she was a daughter to him but she didn't like the sound of that what if she wanted to be more then a daughter to him could she really do that to him after all. Yes she could but it would cost her a hell of a lot, she would have to leave her job which she loved especially with Tony being the annoying pain in the ass that he is, Tim being a complete show off and Abby and Ducky talking about gobbly dee gook half the time could she really leave all that. No...No she couldn't.

As I walk out of interrogation I see Jethro no Gibbs at the end of the corridor "Jethro" I call out to him crap I just called Jethro instead of boss or Gibbs I am so dead I see him turn towards me "what did you just call me Ziva" oh hell now I am dead "ummm...Jethro, Boss" as he gets right up close to me I can tell it will be the last look at him before he fires me, I feel his middle finger on my chin as he lifts my head up to look into his eyes and I can see the question he is asking me and I nod my head very slowly to answer.

I feel him move even closer to me, this is the first time apart from slapping the back of my head that he has ever dared entering my personal bubble, I look at him startled at what he is doing and as I look into his piercing blue eyes I can see what he wants to do and as we lean into eachother I hear footsteps running towarsd us, the next thing I know Jethro's arm is around my waist and he stands behindf me just as Tony turns around the corner, as he quickly stops and stares at us and the way Jethro's arm is around my waist, as Tony looks at us I feel Jethro rub his hand up and down my back, I try and remian calm and Jethro's hand is helping me to do that as I look into Tony's eyes I can see the question in them "Tony I'm really sorry, I really am, but I am going to leave NCIS and I will miss you all but I can't stay in love with Jethro and pretend that I don't have feelings for him when I do, I am so sorry" I look at him and for the first time in forever it looks like tony's going to cry "Boss don't let her do this, break rule 12 just this once for the two of you" I look at tony and then I look back at the one my life has been thrusted apoun and I must ask him for myself no for us if he could brreak that one rule.

A/N: Sorry chapter is so short but I promise the second chapter will be longer.
