A/N: Soo, again I am not a native speake and I belive I am worse than Ziva with phrases. I take the phrases I use and ask google to translate them. So sorry if they are no the right ones to choose.

And I dont earn money with this, and all rights belong to CBS, I own nothing. But I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 3

Abby already played an hour with Fátima and Jasmine, she has shown the girls everything in her lab and now they played with Abby's hippo. She wouldn't have believed that watching two girls could be so hard and exhausting, if someone had told her before. But she already locked the girls in her heart.

Despite that, she felt relieved when she heard the door open.

"It's about time McGee" she said without looking who it was.

"Ah not as good as always I guess. Try again." Abby sprang up and turned around only to look in the eyes of the man she hated the most, she never realized that Ziva has the same eyes, and screeched.

"No, no why … that can't be … you are …" Abby stuttered. Fatima turned her head too and smiled at her father, wondering what it was that made Abby so anxious.

"It's alright Abby, that's only my dad!"

"Your dad" Abby said in disbelieve.

"Yes, her dad" another voice said. Abby felt like she was about to break down, when her once best friend took the hand of the bastard who was supposed to have killed her eight years ago.

"Kate" she whispered.

"Hello Abby" Kate smiled at the Goth. "How are you?"

"Kate he…" she looked to Ari, than saw Gibbs, McGee and Tony entered the lab too.

"Gibbs… Haswari, Kate… shoot him, Gibbs!"

"Abby what are you talking about?!" Fatima asked anxiously. Abby immediately felt guilty because she could hear the fear in the little girl's voice. And she liked Fatima and Jasmine and well, she maybe hated Ari Haswari but it seemed like he was their father and how could she possible want Gibbs to shoot a father?

"It's alright Abby. He is no threat", Gibbs said. "McGee, DiNozzo we will take the girl upstairs, I think the three have something to discuss."

Fatima looked up to her father.

"It's Ok, Mal'ach katan (little Angel). Go with them." Still suspicious Fatima left after the three Agents and her little sister.

Now there were only Ari, Kate and Abby in Abby's lab.

"Kate is that really you?" Abby asked still shocked to see two dead faces alive.

"Yes, it's really me" Abby couldn't stop herself from hugging her long lost friend.

"How is that possible, he killed you!" She pointed out to Ari.

"He didn't."

"Why did you leave me and the Team then?" Abby asked getting angry. "You left on purpose?" She asked disbelieving.

"I had to, Abby! I'm so sorry, but I had to leave."

"Did he force you to do? Oh my god, the kids. They are yours too, aren't they Kate? Did he rape you?!"

"Hey, I can hear you" Ari said angrily. "How you dare to claim that I raped her!"

"Ari, please …" Kate said, holding him back. "Abby, he would never do something as horrible as that!"

"He killed you"

"Am I hallucinating or is she standing there quite alive?" Ari asked sarcastically.

"Ari killed me to save my life, Abby. I was about to die, Hamas wanted us dead. So our only chance of staying alive was to die."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Abby asked, still not believing everything Kate said.

"Yeah, like Gibbs would have helped us. He would have shot a bullet through Ari's head before I would have got a chance to tell him the truth. And what could he have done. We would have lived the past eight years in fear, if we hadn't been dead. And so we had a chance of living and being a family."

"I'm glad you're alive, Kate" Abby finally said and hugged her again. Then she turned to Ari.

"I am sorry for what I said earlier.

"Ziva?"

"Thank you for coming" Ziva said without turning around. Malachi stood beside her and together they look over the river.

"Soo… Is it true?"

"We talked. We fight. I think it is."

"How does he look like?"

"Pretty much the same, he hardly changed. He still has his arrogant smile I sometimes wished to beat out on him. Remember?"

Malachi smiled. "Of course I remember. It's hard to forget. Besides, I now or then had the same wish."

Ziva looked over the river and both stand there quiet for a while, until Ziva suddenly spoke again.

"I thought he loved me? I thought he cared. Sometimes I thought he was the only one who cared about me."

"He did, Ziva. I'm very sure of that!" Malachi said seriously. "He always loved you. You were his little sister. Remember what he did, when we told him we had a relationship."

Ziva laughed.

"Yes I do, so why did he leave? He promised he would be there. He knew I needed him, I told him I couldn't lose him too. Not after Tali's death. We were about to start a normal life again, well as normal as possible but …" Ziva stopped and looked at him. "I think I would have done it Malachi, if he hadn't died. But after his death, I just … I couldn't."

"Ziva, it's about eight years. We moved on. It's Ok. You are married to another man and I have Liat…"

"Stop it Malachi" Ziva yelled. "It is not OK. Everything would have been different, if he hadn't left."

"Then you wouldn't be here! And you love it here!"

"Yeah, I do but … it broke me. His death. Isn't it enough that I already lost my full family? I just got over my father's death and now my long lost brother turns up and says hello here I am again! It is not fair!"

"Life isn't fair"

"You think I don't know that? I should know that better than everyone else! Nothing that ever happened to me was fair!" Ziva yelled angry and tears begun to wet her eyes. She began shaking and because Ziva David hates crying her face went to stone and her eyes were on no really point over the river. Malachi pulled her over to him and into a hug. At first Ziva fight him, but the Mossad Officer just grabbed her tighter.

"No, nothing was fair" he whispered. "But everything has its reason."

"Everything would be different. We would be married."

"It shouldn't be. Maybe it was good, we didn't. We were so young and you know such marriages aren't least long."

"We had dreams. It was so easy to dream then."

"Maybe it was that. We were living to fast, we never really thought about it. We just lived for the moment."

"You learn that with Mossad. Malachi? Do you sometimes wish time hadn't past? Have we missed our change of being happy?"

"I think we did. Aren't you happy Ziva?"

"Last week I would have said I am happy, but right now it is too much to be happy."

"I don't know if this really a good Idea, Caitlin? I mean, instead of Ms Scuito we really have a history?"

"Please Ari. I can't face him alone. I need you." Kate grabbed his hands and smiled at him. "And I thought you liked him."

"Oh I did. But I think he doesn't return my feelings" he grinned.

"Come on! It will be alright. I mean, he can't be worse than your sister."

"I kill you if he kills me."

"Hey, it was me who had the knife and I didn't stab you."

"The proper term is dissecting knife and I think he would have done it without hesitation."

"Let's go"

When they got into autopsy Kate had to laugh, when she heard Ducky talk to his death bodies.

"I guess some things are never changing?"

Ducky stopped immediately with his work and slowly turned around.

"Caitlin?" he said with disbelief. Then he saw Ari standing right behind her. "You?"

"Oh so you remember me, Doctor. What an honor."

"How is this possible?"

"We thought you are dead" Palmer said who couldn't believe either that Kate was here.

"Yeah, we were before Agent Gibbs thought it's about time to interrupt or quiet life." Ari said.

"And who are you?" Palmer asked.

"He is the man who shot Gerald and Kate."

"Oh yeah, how's Gerald? Can he use his arm again? I still have problems with my shoulder sometimes." Ari said.

"Yes he can. So how does it come that you two are alive?"

"We had to fake our death. We never really died, but we had to hide. Hamas was after us Ducky."

"So you actually told me the truth" he added at Ari.

"Mostly."

"Well I guess hiding Hamas isn't easy."

"Not if you are alive, than it's nearly impossible Dr. Mallard."

"You are happy Caitlin?"

Kate looked at Ari.

"Very" she smiled.

"So then, welcome Home my dear" he said and hugged her. Then he faced Ari.

"Dr. Haswari" and offered his Hand to him.

"Dr. Mallard" Ari said and took his hand.

So I hope you liked it and it was not to much Ziva/Malachi, but I like the idea of them once been a couple. And I have so many stories in my head what could have been during their time in Israel, but tell me if it gots to much.

Oh and I promise there will be more Tony/Ziva in the next chapter. I really missed it in this chapter, but at least I could write my Kate and Ari moments
