Well, here is chapter 4. There will be one more chapter after this. The actual wedding! Please read AND review! Thanks!
Ziva slowly moved closer to Tony and kissed him passionately. Once they had come up for air, Ziva's reply came in a low voice.
"Yes. Yes Anthony DiNozzo, Jr. I will marry you. I truly love you." Tony stared at the woman for a moment, as if he was trying to gauge rather or not she was serious. He must have found the truth in her eyes, because he soon pulled her back into his embrace and kissed her. Then he turned to face the others in the room and said, gleefully,
"She said yes!" Immediately, the newly engaged couple was pulled into congratulatory hugs and and the kids were jumping up and down.
"This is the BEST. NEWS. EVER!", squealed Abby. When the excitement died down, Tony turned to McGee and said,
"Tim, I want you as my best man."
"I'm honored, Tony."
"Abby, will you do me the honor of standing up as my maid of honor?", Ziva said.
"Oh, Ziva, Of course I will! The honor is totally mine!", Abby replied pulling her friend into a tight hug. Once they pulled apart, Ziva walked over to Gibbs.
"Gibbs, you are the closest thing to a father I've ever known. Even more than my biological father. It would mean a great deal to me if you would give me away."
"It would be my honor, Ziver.",Gibbs said softly, kissing the Israeli on the forehead before hugging her.
"YAAAY! So where's the wedding gonna be? And when?", Abby asked. Tony and Ziva chuckled.
"Well, Abs, I just proposed like five minutes ago. We haven't talked about the details yet.", Tony said.
"But I would like it to be this summer sometime. I do not want to wait to long. We have waited long enough.",Ziva said, with a soft smile.
"Ima? Are you gonna be my real Ima now. I mean after you and Abba get married?", Tali asked, innocently. Tony and Ziva looked at each other, unsure of how to answer. Apparently they hadn't done a very good job explaining things to the little girl once Ziva had come back. Finally Tony replied,
"Sweetie, Ima was already your Ima. She brought you into this world. I am your Abba for real, too. We talked about this, remember?" Tali nodded.
"Ima carried me in her belly and you didn't know it and then I came to live with you because Ima had to hide from bad guys. Then we hid together. Now the bad guys are gone, so we can live together always."
"That's right, Motek. Always.", Ziva said, as she held back tears. Abby noticed and suggested a game to distract the little ones. She took them into the other room to play, while Ziva and Tony pulled themselves together. Everyone went home or to the places they were staying, about and hour after that.
Over the next couple of months, the wedding planning was top priority. The date had been set for June 14th. Tony and Ziva decided to have their wedding in Paris, near the Eiffel tower. Ziva chose an Alyce Paris-7000 gown. She would put her hair in a fancy clip instead of a vail. Abby flew to Paris a month before the wedding to look for a bridesmaids dress. She found one in the same brand that was perfect. it was an Alyce Paris strapless Blue Ombre dress. It even had sparkles. McGee was able to wear the tux from his own wedding.
One day, a few weeks before the wedding, Palmer got a call from Tony.
"Hey, Tony! How's the wedding planning coming? Breena, Victoria, and I can't wait to come to Paris."
"Well, Autopsy Gremlin, the wedding is what I'm calling about."
"You're still getting married aren't ya?", Palmer asked Nervously.
"Of course I am! Are you Kidding?"
"Well, then what's this about?",asked Palmer.
"Well, we need someone to officiate, and I thought since you'd done McGeeks wedding, Maybe…"
"Of course,Tony. I'd be glad to officiate. It won't take anytime at all to get recertified. You can count on me."
"Thanks, man!",Tony said. The two men talked for a few moments longer, before Palmer needed to go pick up a body. Tony smiled as he hung up. This wedding was coming together perfectly. Even Tali and Tori had roles in the wedding. They would be singing at the wedding. They skyped as often as the could with the nutty time difference and practiced together. They also each made a video of there part so they could practice together even when they couldn't Skype. Morgan and John would be the flower girl and ring bearer. At two and a half years old, Their parents and Tony and Ziva thought they could handle it. By June, everyone who was invited to the wedding, whether they admitted it or not, was beyond excited. Sure Paris, would bring back not-so-much-fun memories for Gibbs, but all in all, everyone was just glad to have the opportunity to all be together. Before they knew it, it was the day they were due to leave for Paris. The entire team plus Breena and Delilah were on edge, as they remembered what had happened to keep them from attending Palmer and Breena's wedding. This time, luckily, nothing came up at the last minute, and now they were sitting at the airport waiting to board.
"I am sure glad that Tony and Ziva's wedding isn't facing the same fate ours did.", Palmer said.
"Shhhh! You'll jinx them!", Bishop said.
"Isn't that more like something Abby would say?",Torres asked.
"Well, Abby's not here, so someone had to say it.", Bishop retorted. That caused the rest of the group to chuckle.
"Well, boss, Tony managed to be with Ziva and not break rule twelve",McGee said.
"Oh, I know they broke it at some point. I've just never been able to get proof.",Gibbs shot back. The others tried, unsuccessfully, not to laugh. They were caught, and awarded with a Gibbs glare.
"Mommy? I'm hungry.",Tori spoke up. Breena took granola bar out of her purse and handed it to her daughter. Not long after that, it was announced that their flight was boarding. Palmer scooped up his little girl and said,
"That's us. Here we go!" Tori squealed and giggled in excitement as the group headed towards the gate. In just a few hours, they would be in the city of lights enjoying family time together.
