Sorry! I'm having an incredible case of writer's block with this story. So if anyone wants to suggest something in their reviews that would be great.
Ziva looked between Tony and the girl.
"No. She can't be. My sister is..."
"Dead, I know. But she's actually not."
"Tony..."
"See Tony? I told you she would not believe you."
"Tali," Tony barked.
"Jeez. Calm down a bit will you? I am just stating the facts. I can not believe you Ziva. You were my idol when I was younger. I worshiped the ground you walked on! And to know you...you killed Ari..." Ziva could see the girl was close to tears. She looked between the girl and her partner again. She couldn't see any signs that either of them were lying, but she just couldn't believe it was Tali. She couldn't accept that she'd had nightmares for years for nothing. This had to be some cruel joke Tony was playing on her. Ziva turned to the girl.
"However much he's paying you I'll double it if you come clean and tell me this is a joke." Ziva noticed the girl's face fall. Then something clicked, and she realized that she could very well be her sister.
"Tali," Ziva said softly. Tali's eyes snapped up to her sister.
"Yes, it's me." Ziva hugged her sister and then let her go.
"What happened? They told me you were dead."
"Well, obviously that's not the case."
"I can see that." Tali sighed.
"I was in love. It could not work out if things stayed the way they were, so I faked my death."
"But...the suicide bomber..."
"...Did not actually blow himself up. We got everyone out of the building before we blew it up. No one was hurt. The shop owner was moving in a couple of days anyway." Ziva stood there with her mouth open, then shook her head.
"Who was it you were in love with?" Tali sighed and looked back at Tony. Ziva's eyes widened. Her little sister was not sleeping with her man.
Woah Ziva, she thought, since when did he become yours?
"Tony? Tony is the man you fell in love with?" Tali's eyes widened and she made a face of disgust.
"No! Not Tony! Ew! I so did not need that image in my head, akhoti! Thank you! Ah!"
"Hey," Tony said.
"Then who is it," Ziva asked, "who are you in love with?" Tali looked to Tony again, who nodded his head.
"I am in love with a man named Daniel, Daniel DiNozzo." Ziva turned to look at Tony.
"DiNozzo."
"Yeah. She's in love with my cousin."
"Your cousin?"
"Well, he's technically not my cousin. Someone left him on my uncle's doorstep when he was just a baby. He's been living there ever since."
"Wow," Ziva whispered.
"I am sorry I had to hurt you, einayim, but it was the only way I could think of to be with the man I love." Ziva nodded.
"I understand." I wish I could be with the man I love, but unfortunately he doesn't love me back. Ziva tried not to look at Tony. She turned her attention to Tali.
"So, akhoti, do you have a place to stay?" Tali shook her head.
"No. I was hoping...well I mean...could I stay with you?" Ziva looked into her sister's eyes and saw the sixteen year old girl she had thought she lost. Ziva smiled.
"Of course. Tony, when you see Gibbs tell him I'm taking the rest of the day off." Tony opened and closed his mouth a few times.
"Wait," he said, scribbling something on a piece of paper and leaving it on Gibbs's desk, "I'm coming with you!" Tali smirked as she saw the look Tony and Ziva exchange.
They're so in love.
Yeah...I don't really know what happened. I just wanted to update for you guys. So please please please give me some ideas. Cause I'm writing garbage right now...
