A/N: Thank you for the reviews! I apologize for my snippiness in the last note. I just wanted to make sure that someone is reading it and enjoying it. Anyway, here's chapter 4.
Once outside the office, Ziva turned to Destiny.
"Stay here," she commanded.
Destiny nodded as Ziva went into the office and shut the door behind her. Destiny listened in. Eli hung up his phone and looked up at Ziva.
"You told Michael to stay in D.C. with me, why?" Ziva asked.
Eli crossed his arms.
"That is none of your concern," he replied in an authoritative tone.
"I have made it my concern," Ziva commented.
"Do not question me Ziva," said Eli.
Ziva stepped to the desk.
"Was any of it real?" she asked.
Eli looked at her.
"Does it matter?" he asked, "Michael is gone. You must move on."
"It is no longer about him," Ziva said.
"Agent DiNozzo," Eli stated.
"I need to know if he was right," Ziva said.
Eli smirked and said, "He was jealous."
Ziva knitted her brows.
"Even if that were true, it does not make him wrong, now answer me," Ziva commanded, "Was it real?"
Eli looked past her and replied, "I don't know. Perhaps."
"Why was I not told the details of his mission? Why was I excluded?" Ziva asked.
"Because, Ziva, I do not know who you answer to anymore, NCIS or Mossad," Eli replied getting angry.
"What is it you expect from me?" Ziva snapped angrily.
"I expect your loyalty to me, and only me! You want to know Michael's assignment? Make this your Aliyah. You return to me, to us! You finish what Michael started!" Eli replied smacking his hand on his desk.
Ziva stared at him.
Outside the door, Destiny listened hard to hear what she was going to say. That was when Eli spoke again.
"I have noticed a little one following you and Agent Gibbs. Who is she?" he asked.
Destiny's ear pricked as she heard that. Ziva went to the door and Destiny stepped back as Ziva opened it. Ziva waved her in.
"Is this the little one you speak of?" Ziva asked as Destiny walked in.
Eli nodded. Destiny looked from Eli to Ziva. She could see some resemblance.
"She is my goddaughter," Ziva replied.
Eli looked at his daughter confused. Destiny looked back to Eli.
"She was Jenny Shepard's daughter. I have helped raise her since she was young. Agent Gibbs is her father," Ziva replied.
"Does she have a name?" he asked.
Ziva looked down at her. Destiny looked up at Ziva and back to Eli.
"My name is Destiny. And you're Director David and Ziva's father," Destiny said.
Eli smirked at her.
"Yes, I am. Nice to meet you, Destiny," Eli said.
Looking back to Ziva he said, "Very observant little one."
Destiny wrinkled her nose. Ziva nudged her knowing that Destiny was going to say something unpleasant to her father. Destiny looked up to Ziva and nodded. Eli watched them.
"What?" he asked.
Destiny looked back to Eli as did Ziva.
"She was telling me to be nice," Destiny said sweetly.
"About what?" Eli asked.
Destiny opened her mouth to speak, but Ziva answered, "Nothing. I need to take her back to her father so that they can get ready to leave."
Destiny raised a brow at Ziva. She knew that something was off. Eli nodded. Ziva took Destiny's hand and led her out.
After walking back down the steps, they ran into Gibbs. Destiny stood behind Ziva a bit.
"Don't try to hide," he growled.
Destiny walked around Ziva and up to her father.
"You will stay with me, do you understand?" he said in a low tone.
Destiny knew that he was very angry with her. She nodded.
"I will leave you two alone," Ziva said, "They are readying the vehicles to take everyone to the airport."
Gibbs nodded. He took Destiny's hand and led her to their room. He shut the door and Destiny turned to face her very angry father.
"I have told you about running off, especially without permission! Why did you disobey me?" he shouted.
Destiny felt the tears coming. She averted her eyes, willing herself not to cry.
"Ziva needed me," she said softly.
Gibbs look softened a bit.
"That is still not an excuse. When Tony or McGee disobeys my orders, what do they get?" he asked.
Destiny still wouldn't look at him and she stayed silent.
"Look at me, young lady, and you better answer me," he growled.
She looked at him as the tears fell down her cheeks.
"They…get… head-slapped," she murmured.
"Right. So what are you going to get? What do you think you deserve?" he asked.
She looked down again and he walked over and made her look at him by putting a finger under her chin and lifting her face up. He knelt down.
"I deserve to be punished, that you should spank me," she whispered.
Gibbs nodded. He got up and walked over to the chair. He sat down and crooked his finger for her to come over. She walked over hesitantly. He bent her over his knee and started smacking her bottom. He gave her 8 good swats and stopped. He stood her up and looked straight at her. She looked at him as she sobbed.
"You had me worried that something might've happened to you," he said in a low tone.
She sobbed again.
"I'm…sorry…daddy," she gasped out.
He wrapped his arms around his little girl.
"You're forgiven, but don't scare me like that again," he replied.
She nodded and sniffled.
"Now, we've gotta go. The plane will be leaving in a bit," he said.
She nodded and wiggled out of his hold. She gathered her stuff together and Gibbs did the same. They were ready and down in the SUVs in a matter of minutes.
