I'd been driving round town for the last three hours, I ran out of petrol about a half hour ago, after filling it up I drove out to the burbs, where I'd grown up. I drove by my childhood house where I'd had so many good memories, with my mum, my dad the old tree and tree house my dad and I had built when I was seven years old. I sat a couple of streets back just remembering silent tears streaming down my face. Finally deciding enough was enough I took one last detour before heading home. The cemetry where mum had been burried. Again the tears fell silently down my face, the epitaph on her tomb stone was something that I'd written to her as she lay on her death bed. As each day passes, a piece of my soul breaks, shatters as I sob the tears I never showed you. Mummy I miss your bright loving persona without you daddy and I are nothing, torn and broken.

It was true I was thirteen when I wrote that and it still hurt everyday that my mum was not here to support me through this but for now just being here would do. I didn't even notice it had started raining or that it had gottem chilly until I felt a rain coat resting on my shoulders and recognised the gentle pitter patter of the rain on the umbrella over my head.
"Your father said I might be able to find you here, just to be safe though I had McGee amd Abby track your GPS system on your car and found that you had left it a block away from your old house another thing your dad also mentioned. I walked until I found you though, suit and tie, unruly hair obviously you because I've explored your body to the fullest extent and I would be able to tell it was you from a mile away" Ziva explained as I still had my back towards her.
"Your dad also mentioned to me that he had told you about his cancer and that was probably what made you run off, was he right?" She asked.
"What do you want me to say Ziva, that I ran out on my father because I was a coward,because I was scared, he's the only family I have left Ziva, if you look in this cemetry not only will you find my mother but you will find my grandparents, aunties and uncles, the cousins that I never got to meet. Ziva I don't want to lose him, he is my father no matter what, no matter how much I dislike him sometimes having the thought that I may lose him tonight scares the crap out of me Zi. Surely you understand?" I begged trying to get her to see that this was what was freaking me out. Putting her arms around me she held me close, before reaching up and kissing me on the lips.
"Tony you have every right to be upset. But love you have to at least try to make a difference. Let him in on our baby, tell him our plan about moving in together. Spend some quality time together. Please" she begged. I nodded my head, knowing that the way things were going now I needed my dad there to be a grandfather to my child whilst he still has the chance.

It took me a couple more minutes before I managed to drag myself away from her grave; the whole time I kept my arms around Ziva's middle. We finally walked back to our cars and then I drove back to my house where Ziva had promised to meet me there in three hours when she got off work. Dad was still on the couch but this time with a bottle of diet coke in his hands.
"I'm sorry for running dad; I was scared" I confessed as I sat next to him
"I know Tony; I know, its alright to be scared" he told me holding my hand a gesture that I was going to hold close to my heart, he hadn't done something like that since I was fourteen.
"How long are you staying dad?" I asked ten minutes later.
"As long as you'll have me" he smiled.
"Well thats great; Ziva and I are about to sell our apartments and move in together" I told him straight up. He looked at me shocked
"But Tony you never said anything about you two being together, I knew you both liked each other but I asumed that was all" he said
"Its a new thing. We only started dating yesterday; its because she's pregnant" I told him truthfully
"Hang on a minute; you said that you only started dating yesterday how did you two end up getting in to each others pants?" he asked clearly confused.
"Its a long story" I said
"I have time" he answered. With a sigh I replied
"Three months ago Ziva and I went undercover as a married couple. The couple we were pretending to be had a bad person gunning for them as they were the next target, we got them out and pretended to be them. It turns out that it was one of the house staff who was the bad guy but we had to act like a married couple and do things that newly weds do when they get home from a restless day at work. I didn't find this out until yesterday that Ziva was expecting a child, as Gibbs had sent me on a undercover mission that only I was to go on. We talked last night and decided that this was the best plan; us moving in together, not only for the baby but for each other"
"Well I guess I'm happy for you two. I know you both love each other very deeply. This is great though, Tony I get to have a grandchild. I am making a vow to you and Ziva and my grandbaby, I promise to be a better man, more responsible and loving" dad pledged.
"I know you'll try dad and for me thats enough" I said hugging him again.

It was true he really did become a better man, apparently according to Tony he was going back to the way he behaved before his wife had passed away, back to when Anthony Dinozzo Senior payed attention to his son and actually made an effort to be a father to his only child. Anthony was so happy all the time it was hard to believe that he was dying of cancer

A/N: So sorry for the wait for this one guys, writers block and I haven't really had the time, sorry.
