Chapter 7- The Aftermath:

McGee's POV:

Smoke rose from the ground around the battlefield, the sight of the dead laying around us all as the ambulance lights flashed before us all, Ziva was sat next to me with a sad smile as the paramedics cleaned the cut on her head, she clutched an ice pack to her cheek as I kept my eyes locked on her like a damn love sick puppy 'somebody save me' great now I was thinking of the Smallville theme song 'damn Erica Durance played a hot Lois Lane' there I go again, the geek inside me was slowly coming back to life.

"How you feeling McGee?" she whispered softly into my ear.

"I feel… great" which was strange because we have all gone through hell together and yet Ziva made me feel calm and happy, I must be losing my marbles but I didn't care, it wasn't long till Gibbs discharged me to go home which I gladly obeyed heading over to my car and opening the door when a cough drew my attention, I turned slowly and came face to face with Ziva who was standing in front of me with a smile on her face and I gave her a smile in return. I unlocked the passenger side door and she got in comfortably placing her seatbelt on as I drove away from the battered remains of Ncis.

Ziva never gave me a chance to react when we came to my apartment, as soon as the door was opened she was on me in seconds, her hands grasping my hair as her lips were on mine, I kissed back with everything I have as I carried her to the bed slowly in my arms before laying the goddess before me, she gave me a smirk and I returned it before pulling her back into another passionate kiss. My hands roamed up her top and her hands were on my belt, I reached over and turned the light off instantly and the room became hotter as well as our bodies as that night we came together 'no pun intended' for the first time, it was the first time I felt alive for a long time.

As the nights past Ziva had spent every night with me in my bed which I had no arguments too, I'd have to be fucking stupid to argue, I walked around work with a big grin on my face that made Gibbs want to shoot me.

Abby was cheerful that I was happy at least and jenny and Gibbs had been acting weird to me, they had both been walking round with huge grins on their faces and sometimes their clothes were dishevelled, I didn't need to be a genius to figure it.

Ziva had disbanded her crew a few weeks afterwards, it was a hard decision for her, they was her family, i still remember the conversation we had.

"Ziva… you don't need to do that" I said softly as she was combing through her cell phone for the members number.

"McGee… enough!" she warned me in that tone that sent a chill down my spine.

"They are your family" I implored her

"It's time to move on" her argument slowly getting lost on me.

I tried to argue and I threw my hands up in surrender and stalked to my bedroom, truth was that I didn't want her to give up her family, in fact I wanted nothing more but to join her but she wouldn't listen, in the end I went along with her idea, I had heard later on that Gibbs and Jenny were leaving Ncis for a new job, Gibbs gave me one last smile before leaving with Jenny from Ncis one last time, Director Vance had taken over from Jenny but he was a fair guy, in fact he was pretty cool.

I had discussed it with Ziva who agreed and I went to Vance and handed him my resignation which he accepted but told me the door was always open whenever I wanted to come back and I smiled giving him a nod before leaving his office, the desk clear out went slowly as I looked around the bullpen, so many happy memories here but it was over for me now, it was time to start something new.

Me and Ziva attended the memorial for the fallen agents and marines that were killed in the battle with Mossad, Gibbs read his speech speaking like a marine who attended to salute the fallen and the Ncis agents attended too, me and Ziva left with the weight of our dead off our shoulders, I needed to do something before we went home, I purchased a laptop a month afterwards and began to work on my book.

2 years after me and Ziva were married; life so far was getting better by the second, Gibbs and Jenny were married a few months before, life was freaking awesome.

"Come on Ziva… you can do it" I encouraged her

"Shut the hell up Timothy, or I swear I will smash your fucking face in!" she screamed loud at me.

I lowered my head as she screamed loud "OH SHIT!" she bellowed as she pushed.

She was now giving birth to our first child, in the end though we were going to have a shock… twins.

"Nearly there Mrs McGee" the midwife told my wife cheerfully and I smiled.

After one last push she had given birth to a beautiful baby boy, I smiled bright and a tear ran down my cheek but then Ziva was screaming again and I looked to the midwife worried and he smiled "ok here comes the other one" I tightened my grip on her hand and she smiled to me with love in her eyes "Oh Timothy" she whimpered and pecked me on the lips before she pushed hard again, screaming her lungs out and there it was, another baby, a beautiful baby girl.

"Oh my…" Ziva whispered to herself as she took the babies in her arms and cradled them.

Congratulations" the midwife said with a big smile before leaving us both.

"We are going to need a name for them" I took a seat clutching her hand in mine and looked at the beautiful babies before us and she smiled as tears ran down her cheek "I have names for them" she informed me slowly.

"Oh yeah" I narrowed my eyes curiously to her.

"Tony and Kate" she whispered and giggled happily as tears fell down my cheek and I sniffed softly and wiped my tears slowly "it's perfect" and I kissed her softly and she replied with her own kiss.

"Next one we can name after your father" I whispered into her ears and she shook her head "hell no, these 2 are enough for me, you want next time then you get on the bed and give birth" I laughed softly shaking my head as she giggled handing me baby Tony, somewhere up there Tony must have been smiling, in the end it was all worth it, the love of my life was with me, I had a family and a job, in the end that's all I needed in this world, and it's all we will ever need.
