When they arrived home Tony unlocked the door and they both walked in taking off their coats and shoes before putting them in their place. They had recently bought their own house after being together a couple of months. They had managed to keep their relationship a secret from their NCIS family but they didn't think they would be able to much longer.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" Tony asked she sat down on the sofa.

"Just some tea please," she answered

"You sure you don't want anything to eat?"

"Yes. I am sure." She looked at him with a small smile that he knew she was putting on to try and stop him worrying but he still did.

While the water was boiling he poked his head around the door and asked if she wanted to watch a movie.

"Why not," she replied getting of the sofa and choosing a DVD of the shelf. After picking a film she put it in the DVD player and the film started just as Tony walked through the door with her tea and his coffee and he put them both on the coffee table.

Half way through the film they had both finished their drinks and Tony was sat on one side of the sofa with Ziva in her pyjamas against his chest and her feet up across the seat. His arm had been around her until all of a sudden she sat up straight and turned to him. "What are we going to tell Gibbs and McGee and Abby and the director. I said I would explain what was happening but how am I going to tell her. And every one else, what will they say…" she could have carried on but Tony stopped her. She would have gotten her self upset again.

"Zi, don't worry about it. You're Tired. You were up earlier than normal this morning and you hardly slept last night. Why don't we just go to bed, we can finish the film another day," he said softly.

"Okay," she replied and he turned the TV and film off then walked over to ziva who wrapped her arms round his neck before being carried upstairs.

He was glad she had put her pyjamas on because she was already asleep before he put her on the bed. He changed then climbed in to bed. She curled up into his chest and wrapped his arm around her waist. Within seconds, they were both fast asleep.

Next morning ziva woke up to the smell of coffee in the air. She got up and walked down stairs to find Tony dressed and by the look of him showered. He was sat at the table finishing his first slice of toast, a cup of coffee next to him.

"Good morning," he said. "Did you sleep well?"

"Surprisingly yes. I was so worn down I couldn't keep my eyes open."

Tony chuckled, "worn out Zi, not worn down ."

She laughed, "oh."

Tony picked up his second piece of toast but before he took a bite ziva had taken it out of his hand and was on her way up stairs.

"Hey!" he shouted but the only reply was her laughing. He liked to see her happy.

About half an hour later she walked down stairs dressed, her hair still damp from washing it.

"Did you enjoy my toast?" Tony asked

"Yes actually, it was very nice."

"well, I'm glad you liked it," he replied while picking up his car keys.

"Ready?"

"Yes." Tony kissed her softly then they got into their separate cars and set off. Because of ziva's mad driving she got to work about 10 minutes before so people didn't get suspicious of their relationship. They liked it when just the two of them knew.

"Good morning, Gibbs," Ziva said once she entered the bullpen.

"Good morning, Ziver." She was hoping he wouldn't say anything about her and Tony leaving early yesterday and to her surprise, he didn't. She suspected the director had something to do with it.

She sat down and turned on her computer. After checking her emails Tony came through the doors of the elevator and sat down behind his desk before smiling at Ziva that went unnoticed by Gibbs but not by Jenny who was stood on the stairs leading up to her office.

About an hour later they still had no leads so ziva headed towards the break room. When she got there she sent Tony a message telling him to meet her there. She bought a chocolate bar then Tony came in.

"you okay?"

"Yes, I am fine but I was wondering if it would be okay with you if we invited McGee, Jenny, Gibbs, Ducky, and Abby to our house for dinner this weekend so we could tell them about us and what I have. I would invite palmer but he is visiting his parents."

"yeah sure but isn't it a bit early. I mean we only found out yesterday."

"I know but I do not to keep this a secret. What if something happens and they find out through someone else. I want to be the one to tell them."

"Okay," Tony said and they went to ask them about dinner on Saturday.
