It was the day. Tony, Ziva, Faith and Anthony were all set. Suitcase's packed, bag's filled with teddy's, game boy's, coloring books, colored pencil's and a lot of food and water, the car gased up. The kids already sat into the car, but Tony and Ziva still stood in their doorway, unsure.

"Are you ready to go?", Tony asked, intertwining their hands.

"No", she answered honestly. "But I still think we should. Even if I'm scared."

"Gibbs?" She nodded. "Yeah, me too. But hey, we are free. If he hates us too much, we can still put up at a hotel. It'll be fine sweet cheeks. We will be fine. Okay?"

"Okay", she breathed out. Tony always managed to calm her. "Okay", she repeated, gripping his hand a little tighter. They went over to the car and climbed in.

"Okay, who wants a trip to DC?"


Hours later he pulled up in Gibbs' driveway, with a sleeping Ziva next to and two exhausted kid's behind him. He got out of the car and opened the door on Anthony's side.

"Hey buddy. Do you mind knocking at the door over there? Please take Faith with you. I need to wake mommy."

"Okay Daddy. Love you."

" I love you too.", he replied, kissing his son's and daughter's head, watching them knocking at Gibbs door. Sighing he opened the cardoor to the passenger seat, looking at his wife. "Ziva", he shook her gently. "Zi wake up we are at Gibbs'." She didn't move and he started to chuckle. "I know that you are not sleeping sweetcheeks. You just don't want to face Gibbs."

She started to giggle and opened her eyes but then she became serious again. "I am so scared.", she whispered. "I am so so scared."

Tony leaned over and captured her lips in a kiss. "I know. I am scared too. You have no idea. But we don't have a choice now. The kids are already knocking. Come on", once again he intertwined their fingers and helped his wife out of the car. They walked to Gibbs door, where he stood, the famous, always coffee drinking, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, with a cup of coffee in his hand. Anthony and Faith stood in front of him, the little girl holding her brothers hand.

Ziva stood behind him, so that Gibbs could barely see her.

"Hi boss." Awarkdly he stuck his hand out, but his former boss ignored it, so he dropped it quickly.

"Don't you want to introduce me to someone?", Gibbs asked gesturing to the two kids.

"Ahm.. yeah. Boss this is Anthony the third and this is Faith." Anthony smiled, but Faith hid behind her brother.

"She shy?" He nodded.

"Yeah. We don't know how that happened." Gibbs frowned.

"We?"

"Yeah we. My wife,..uhmm.. Ziva.., and me." He made a step to the side, making it possible for Gibbs to see her.

"Ziver." Gibbs called out, the surprise clearly evident in his voice and eyes. He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around her.

Tony watched the scene but looked away as his daughter was tugging on his leg. He knew what she wanted and picked her up, placing her on his hip. She immediately wrapped her arms around neck and nuzzled her nose into it. In just this moment Gibbs and Ziva parted and the boss slapped both of his former agents' heads.

"That's for running away. Your rooms are upstairs, the two down the hall on the right. Dinner is ready in an hour." Tony and Ziva nodded before walking up the stairs, Faith on Tonys arm ans Anthony hot on their heels. They were halfway up as Gibbs called them back. "And Dinozzos' ?"

"Yes, boss?"

"Congratulations."

Ziva sent him a happy smile. "Thank you, Gibbs. It is nice to see you again."

They disappeared, none of them hearing the muttered ''you too", from their former boss.

After the family had found their rooms (each with two separate beds, what made Tony pout) the eldest Dinozzo went upstairs again to get all the suitcases and bags. After everyone was established, the father went downstairs, joining Gibbs in the kitchen.

"Hey boss."

"I'm not your boss anymore, Dinozzo." He pointed out, pretending not to care about this fact anymore. It had been hard to find out that his senior field agent had just quit, without telling anyone except the director. That he had disappeared shortly after that, hadn't helped either.

"Yeah, about that... bos- Gibbs. I know that you will not want to hear that but... I am sorry. I'm sorry for quitting and disappearing without telling you. But Ziva was pregnant and I.. I just needed to be with her. You know what love is boss. Gibbs. Sorry, force of habit. You had Shannon and I have Ziva. I love her boss."

Once again, Gibbs ignored the words of the young (?) father.

"How long did you two break rule twelve before Ziva went to Israel?", he asked, wanting answers to the questions that were on his mind since they had arrived.

"Do you want the short version or the long one?"

Gibbs shot him a glare and he understood.

"About one and a half years. A month after Ray broke up with her I asked her out for ice cream. We kissed 2 months later and moved in with each other 6 months after that. After nearly a year we found out that she was pregnant. We didn't want to tell any of you, because we feared that we would break apart if we would say something. Then, as she was seven months along I went to Israel too. Anthony was born July 19, 2014. Another year later we heared that your father died and moved to stillwater. We found a nice house there, I am a teacher and Ziva is a Ballett teacher."

"Anthony was born at your birthday?", Gibbs asked, not completely able to handle all this.

"Yeah. Zi and I had a agreement. If he was born on my birthday, he would get my name. If not he'd have been named Levi." Tony was obviously proud of himself because of that.

"You know, Anth just asked me why you hit me and Ziva."

He chuckled. "And what did ya tell her?"

"That we were not nice to you and that we deserved it."

Gibbs smiled weakly before he turned the cooker off and called Ziva and the kids.

During dinner, the NCIS agent told them what happened at NCIS while they were gone and the family told him everything about their life.

It was just like old times again.
