It's hard sometimes, to keep secrets from those we love, adore, cherish. It doesn't matter how very much we believe it is the right thing – it is still hard. Families should not keep secrets, so why are they? Because they know that if they didn't then the consequences may be terrible. They are a family, the two of them, but all of them. Sometimes though, it seems as if keeping the secret is just too hard, would it be so hard to be honest, true. It isn't like it is a new thing; it's been going on for 3 and ½ years.

It's is hard, when he was under over, pretending to love Jeanne and she was home missing him. It was hard when she was in Israel and he was agent afloat. It was hard after Jenny's death, but it just made them stronger. Like a fairy tale they have fought the battles, and she is his Cinderella like he's her prince Charming. They go together like strawberries and cream yet act like chalk and cheese. They are different in person but the same at heart. They work together. But when one gets hurt their secret is the hardest to hide.

Tonight they sit at their desks; they smile across the room, and talk over IM. The case was long, the hours murderous but they caught the culprit. Now both want to go home but know its late. Tonight though, a secret has to be revealed before suspicion is arised. IT's time to tell the person they see as a brother, a sister and a father. IT's time to let their secret be shared and hidden no more.

Life had bends like a road; it had traffic lights to slow you down, and speed limits to restrict. Yet every now and again there is that country stretch where you decide what happens. They work hard, keep the petrol tank filled and the oil topped up. They was away the dirt, meant the groans and keep going on. Today's the day they reveal the country world, the secret.

"Go home, get some sleep." Says Gibbs.

It's now or never. The time has come and they won't run. They stood up hand in hand, smiled on faces. Abby's at Tim's desk beaming away at the hands. They smile both nervous, exited but worried. IT could tear them apart, but it'll make them stronger no matter what.

"We have some news." says Tony.

Gibbs looks up, a smirk on his face. The lovers exchange a look. It reminds him and how decades ago he had someone who could read him like that, who with words weren't needed. They smiled and laughed and lived life to the full.

"I'm pregnant, we're having a little girl." Says Ziva, a smile on her face, a hand on her stomach. Smiles and congratulations ring out, laughs are shared along with memories. They smile and congratulate each other.

Their fairytale started a new chapter, with family and support. This was their tale; they weren't magic, just ordinary people, in an ordinary world living a life no one would have guessed. A mossad Ninja, and a rich mans son. Two different worlds collided, and what they produced was a fairytale, a story, a child that no one would ever forget…
