Tony heard someone walking up the stairs, Ziva was asleep and he was playing with her hair. He grabbed his abandoned boxers off the ground and looked out the door, the knife he had started keeping in his room for Ziva's safety in hand. Walking into Kate's room was his dad, and his mom into Abby's. He let out a breath and climbed back into he bed with Ziva. He made sure they were both covered completely so that when his parents checked in his room, they wouldn't find what happened a couple of hours ago. Tony pulled Ziva to his chest.
He heard the door open and turned around to see his dad bend down and pick something up. He held it up. Ziva's bra. Tony's eyes went wide and is dad looked at him and smirked. Gibbs winked at him and dropped it. He walked out.
"Tony and Ziva are asleep." Tony heard his dad say to his mom. Tony let out a breath, sometimes his dad could be so cool. He felt Ziva stir and he pulled him self up on his elbow.
"Hey."
"Tony. Hi." Ziva said and kissed Tony lightly. She got up and walked to the bathroom. He heard the water start and Tony put on some sweats and a t-shirt. He walked downstairs and looked at his dad, who smirked at him again. He smiled, thanking him, and looked at him.
"Dad, can I have some money?"
"Why?"
"I want to take Ziva out somewhere special." He said. Gibbs pulled out three hundred dollar bills out of his pocket and Tony looked at him, dumbfounded. Gibbs smiled.
"Okay. Well, tell Ziva I'll be back later when she gets out of the shower." Tony said and his mom nodded. Tony slipped on his shoes and ran out the door. He climbed into his car and drove strait to the mall. There, he bought Ziva a silver heart shaped necklace. It was on sale at only a 150 dollars. On it he had inscribed:
I love you, Ziva
I'm yours forever.
Love,
Tony
He drove back home, reservations in place, and necklace in pocket. He walked into his house and into his living room. There his mom and dad were sitting in the living room putting the bandages back on Ziva's stomach and arms. Tony didn't understand how they were not healing yet, all the bruises were all still a deep purple and the cuts were still raw and red. Ziva was cringing. Tony walked over to her and kneeled at her head. He kissed her forehead. He ran his hand through her hair and as they finished bandaging, someone unlocked the door. Ari, Kate, Tim, Tali, and Abby came into the living room and started to sit down on the couches, but Jenny stopped Ari.
"You can't sit until you change clothes." Jenny said, looking at Ari's grass stained white football pants and mud covered green Under Armour shirt. Ari nodded and ran upstairs. He came back down thirty minutes later, after taking a shower, with a pair of green, red, yellow, blue, and orange plaid shorts on, a red form-fitting American Eagle t-shirt with a white long sleeve one under to hide the still purple bruises, and brown flip-flops. The red shirt showed off Ari's muscle in his torso and arms, and Kate couldn't help but stare
"Caitlin, why don't you go change and we can go out somewhere." He said and Kate nodded. Tony looked at the clock. It was five. The reservations were at seven.
"Ziva, why don't you go get ready too. I have reservations at seven. Something fancy, please." Tony said and Ziva nodded. She walked upstairs slowly.
Before Ziva and Kate came down, Tony himself changed into a black suit with a white dress shirt under it, black dress shoes, and a red tie. He also put casual clothes in the backseat of his car so him and Ziva could go to the fair after dinner. The fair was always fun.
Ziva and Kate came down in about an hour, both showered and looking very presentable. Kate had on casual clothes, but still looked very pretty wearing a pair of short (not too short) blue and white vertical striped shorts, a blue tank top under a white V-neck t-shirt, and white Old Navy flip-flops. Kate's strait hair was pulled back out of her face with a blue elastic hair band and she had on a simple, but very pretty, diamond necklace that Ari had gotten her a few days ago.
Ziva looked beautiful; she was wearing a dark purple long sleeve sweater, a knee length flowy black skirt, and black heels. Her hair was straitened and falling freely in her face. It was simple, but somehow still very elegant. Ari walked over to Ziva and hugged her and whispered in her ear so no one could hear.
"You look beautiful. He loves you and I love you too. Have fun and be careful, sister." Ari whispered. Ziva nodded.
"I love you, too Ari." She whispered back and pulled away from him. Ari walked over to Kate and Tony to Ziva.
"Ziva, I would like you to close your eyes for me." Tony said.
"Why, Tony?" Ziva asked.
"Please, just do it." Tony said and Ziva nodded. She closed her eyes and Tony pulled out the necklace. He walked behind her and pulled it onto her neck and fastened it.
"You can open your eyes." Tony whispered in her ear. She opened them and put her hand on the necklace.
"Read the back." Ziva turned I over and read the inscription. She turned around and hit him, hard on the chest.
"You're making me cry. It's going to mess up my make-up." She said. Everybody laughed and Tony grinned. He leaned down to kiss her and she put her hands on his chest. He kissed her passionately and then took her hand.
"I have an idea. How about all of us in this room meet up at the fair at about, let's say, 9:30." Tony suggested. Everybody shrugged their shoulders and agreed. After everything was settled, Tony, Ziva, Kate, and Ari all left, Ziva and Tony in Tony's car and Kate and Ari in Tim's.
(A/N: I figured I'd let you know this. Tony's car is a blue Mustang with two white racing stripes on the hood. Tim's is a red Porsche.)
