Chapter Seven
"Pizza?" Tony smiled as he stepped aside and let Abby in.
"You know it." Abby laughed as she headed for the kitchen and set the pizza down on the table. "Well?" Abby asked as she turned and saw Tony still standing in the living room, Shai had jumped back on the couch to watch the movie.
"What do you want to drink?" Tony asked as he put paper plates and napkins on the table.
"Water's good." Abby said as she sat at the table. "Shai, do you want pizza?"
"No." Shai said not taking his eyes off the screen causing Abby to laugh.
"How DiNozzo of you." Abby said as she looked over at Tony who set the drinks on the table.
"Shai, come eat." Tony said as he walked into the living room and paused the movie, causing Shai to narrow his eyes at Tony.
Shai pouted and got off the couch and slowly headed to the kitchen.
"Thank you." Tony said as Shai climbed up on a chair and sat on his knees, looking at Abby.
"Pepperoni or cheese?" Abby asked as she flipped the box open and smiled at Shai who just looked back at her. "Is pepperoni kosher?"
"I don't know." Tony said as he took a slice of pepperoni. "Give him cheese."
"Okay, where's the knife?" Abby asked placing a slice of Shai's plate who looked at the slice curiously.
"What knife?" Tony questioned, setting his slice down.
"Tony, you have to cut it up, he's not even two." Abby said as she took a slice for herself.
"Okay." Tony said as he got out of his chair to get a fork and knife. "Okay." Tony said sitting back at the table. "How small should I cut it?"
"I don't know, bite size." Abby said with a smile as she took a bite of her own pizza.
"Okay." Tony said as he pushed his plate to the side and took Shai's plate and cut his food up before sliding it back in front of him. "Eat up."
"So?" Abby asked with a smirk.
"So what?" Tony asked, looking up at her, but still continuing to eat.
"So, how's it going?" Abby asked dragging out the so as she nodded her head over at Shai.
"Well, he took a nap and watched half of Toy Story." Tony said grabbing another piece of pizza.
"Interesting." Abby said as they both glanced at Shai who was happily eating his pizza. "Tony, you don't have any stuff."
"What stuff?" Tony asked confused.
"Kid stuff." Abby smiled as she glanced around his apartment. "No toys, no clothes, no-."
"I get it, Abs." Tony said as he looked over at Shai. "I guess I'll have to go shopping."
"You are." Abby nodded as they fell into a content silence.
"So, anything about Ziva?" Tony questioned as he finished his third slice.
"Sorry, Tony." Abby said shaking her head in the negative. "But don't worry! No one's giving up, McGee has just about driven himself nuts trying to find something. Gibbs is well, Gibbs."
"Yeah." Tony said with a small smile. "Do you want more?" Tony asked as he took Shai's plate.
"No." Shai said shaking his head.
"Did you like it?" Abby asked as Tony cleared the trash.
"Yes." Shai said with a smile.
"I'll google and see if pepperoni's kosher." Abby laughed glancing up at Tony. "Pepperoni's your dad's favorite."
"Woy Swory?" Shai asked looking back at Tony.
"Nope, we're going shopping." Tony said with his token smile and Shai's face fell and he looked blankly back at Tony.
"Wow." Abby laughed. "That was a classic Ziva face."
"Tell me about it." Tony said as he grabbed his car keys. "Are you gonna come Abs?"
"Of course!" Abby said jumping out of her chair. "I don't think Shai's all that excited, though."
"Me neither." Tony said as he plucked Shai from the chair.
"Woy Swory." Shai whined as they headed for the door.
