Ziva slowly awoke, she moaned softly as she stirred. She reached back, but found nothing..."Tony?"...She quietly called out, she turned, reaching further, but he was gone. She sighed, burying her face into a pillow.
She breathed in deeply, smelling him on the pillow, she raised her head smiling, she breathed in again, smelling something else..."Coffee."...Ziva recognized the smell.
Ziva climbed out of bed, grabbing an ankle length golden robe, the silk slid on her body effortlessly..."Tony?"...She called out again as she walked out of the bedroom, heading towards the kitchen.
She stepped into the kitchen.
"He left."
Ziva jumped back..."Stop doing that!"...Ziva clamored, shaking her head towards Kate, who was floating above one of Ziva's kitchen chairs.
"You might want to...ummm, your..."...Kate whistles... "Is showing."
Ziva looked down, her robe was open. She quickly closed it, tying her belt tightly..."Toda."
"What?"...Kate said, not understanding what Ziva said.
"It is Hebrew for thanks."...Ziva poured herself a cup of coffee, adding sugar and cream to it.
"You snore like a freight train, you know that, right? You really need to go to the doctor."...Kate suggested.
Ziva scoffed..."I do not snore!"
Kate rolled her eyes..."I could barely hear Tony snoring over yours. How you two sleep at all is beyond me!"
"What are you doing here? Why are you haunting me? It is very rude."...Ziva lifted her coffee, holding the cup between her palms under her nose, she closed her eyes, inhaling the coffee's aroma. She took a large sip, showing her approval with a smile.
Kate floated over to her, she moved her hand next to the coffee and tried to wave the smell towards her. She sighed deeply..."I love coffee...and I can't smell anything."
Ziva smirked, she took another drink of her coffee, she gasped, letting out a sensuous moan..."Ohhh, soooo good."...She shivered with delight.
Kate rolled her eyes again..."It's coffee, not sex."...Kate stopped..."Never mind, forgot I said that."
Ziva grinned at her.
"Don't even think about it, especially in regards to Tony."
Ziva took another drink..."You interrupted us..."
"I know, I was there, remember?"...Kate said, interrupting her again.
"What is wrong with Tony?"...Ziva asked, showing signs of getting upset.
Kate shrugged..."Umm...well, he was my partner, we did not have that kind of relationship."
Ziva turned, placing her cup on the counter, she looked back at Kate..."He is my partner, my best friend and my lover."
"Oh, God...DiNozzo and lover? I really don't think I want to know this."...Kate sighed..."Okay, what's he like in bed?"...Kate asked, curiosity getting the best of her.
"Well...hmmm, guess."...Ziva grinned, teasing Kate.
"Guess?"...Kate replied..."Guess what?"
"What kind of lover do you think he would be?"...Ziva asked.
"The sex machine?"...Kate laughed..."Considering I went out with one of his fraternity brothers, I have a good idea."
"Then why did you ask?"...Ziva wondered.
"Fine, I know nothing...how is he? Does he make your toes curl? You entire body tingle? Makes you feel dirty all over, but that really good dirty feeling...you know what I mean...right?"...Kate moved her right hand to her mouth, biting on her nails.
Ziva laughed..."For you not wanting to know, you want to know a lot."
"I thought about it, I'll admit to that...when he wasn't driving me complete insane, that is."...Kate shook her head..."He can be so immature."...Kate smiled..."Then there were times when he was brave and strong...I loved that Tony. Too bad the idiot Tony always got in the way, too much."...She chuckled.
"I know HIM well."...Ziva laughed..."He is a generous lover. My pleasure always comes before his."
"Really? I always thought Tony was a 'wham, bam, thank you, ma'am' kinda person."
"Far from it."...Ziva smiled..."Although when the time comes..."
The sound of the front door opening made Ziva stop, seconds later Tony walked into the kitchen..."Hey, you're up...me bought donuts. Heh."...He walked towards Ziva, passing through Kate, giving Ziva a kiss.
Kate shook her entire body..."That was...interesting."
"Like he was inside you, yes?"...Ziva laughed.
"Huh?"...Tony and Kate both asked, looking rather confused.
"I was just talking to Kate."...Ziva admitted to Tony.
"Kate?"...Tony moved his hands to her face, caressing her cheeks with his fingertips..."Kate Todd?"
Ziva nodded.
"Don't tell him you can see and hear me."...Kate groaned.
Ziva leaned her head to the right, looking over Tony's shoulder..."Why?"
Tony gently pushed Ziva's head back..."That ship really messed you up, baby."...He pressed his lips against Ziva's forehead.
"I can...I can hear her...I can..."
Tony grinned..."So, you're her Whoopie Goldberg, huh?"
Ziva tilted her head back, looking up at him perplexed.
"Ghost."...Kate said.
"Ohhh, I have seen that!"...Ziva exclaimed, remembering the movie..."Yes, exactly, Tony!"
Tony kissed her again..."Speaking of Whoopie, you wanna make whoopee? Heh."
Ziva leered over Tony's shoulder again, looking at Kate.
"It means to have sex."...Kate answered, she shook her head..."How long have you been in America again?"
Ziva looked at Tony and nodded with a smile..."Yes."...She kissed him.
In one motion, he tossed the box of donuts onto the counter, picking her up and stepped towards the bedroom.
"Don't use a condom!"...Kate yelled.
Ziva pulled away from kissing Tony, she squinted as she looked back at Kate.
Kate shrugged her shoulders, she tossed up her hands..."They suck?"...It was the only comment that popped into her head to say.
Kate stepped towards them, but stopped when she heard Ziva giggle. Warmth expanded through her chest again, the glowing had returned. She still didn't know what it meant. She softly sighed as thought of her having six children rushed into her head and something didn't feel right. Something was definitely different now and this feeling bothered her immensely.
"Being dead sucks."...Kate groaned.
