Chapter 6

The three of them had never been so happy to get out of a car when they
finally pulled up in front of a house seemingly in the middle of nowhere.

"Is this finally it?" Abby was very tired and would be very happy if she
never saw another car or plane in her life.

"This is the address that my father gave us." Ziva replied as she tried
to get the girls out of the car without waking them.

"What are we meant to say to them?" Abby wondered, still not getting out
of the car. "How am I meant to act around her?"

Ziva tried to make her feel better, "Abby you can act any way you want."

"Ziva's right, Abby." Ducky told the gothic woman. "Why don't you
help Ziva with the girls? That way you have an excuse for not hugging her."

His comment put the biggest smile on her face as she moved to lift the baby
closest to her. "Ok I'll take Jenny."

"Actually Abby, that's Tali." The Israeli told her with a small smile
on her face. Ziva was so glad that Abby was here. She was the
only one that could make her smile no matter what the situation.

"Ok." Abby replied before turning back to the baby. "Just you wait
until we get home. I am going to get you and your sister the cutest thing. I
saw these cute pink hippos the other day that you will just love…"

As Ducky and Ziva were watching Abby and Tali, neither of them heard the
front door of the house had open until a voice that no one had heard in 4
years called Abby's name. Two people that they had never expected to see
again stood on the front porch – Kate and Ari.

"Ducky would you mind holding Jenny for me?" Ziva asked the doctor.

"Of course." He replied as he carefully lifted Jenny from her mother's
arms leaving Ziva able to knock Ari out, with great pleasure.
