T rating

Well, guys we're coming to the end, this is the penultimate chapter... *cue tears*. Your reviews have been brilliant a special thanks to those who have reviewed for every chapter... you know who you are... I have a few ideas for more fics but lets get this one out of the way first lol.

Summary: Ziva hates American weather and Gibbs tries to show his dear Israeli what good can come out of the four seasons. They grow closer and Ziva realises maybe the American weather isn't that bad, as long as you have an attractive, blue-eyed Marine Sniper by your side.

Chapter Seven: Summer

Ziva sat at the kitchen table smiling and humming to herself, while cleaning her gun. Gibbs came down the stairs in his boxers and smiled at the sight in front of him. He grinned when he picked up the mug of steaming hot coffee Ziva had made for him. He kissed her hair.

'' Morning.''

'' Good morning Jethro.'' said Ziva, happily. Gibbs sat opposite her.

'' Why are you so happy?''

'' There are many reasons Jethro.'' sang Ziva.

''I'm hoping last night was one.'' hinted Gibbs, Ziva flashed him one of her rare brilliant smiles.

'' Yes... of course last night is one of my reasons.''

'' Just one?''

'' Do you know what today is, Jethro?'' asked Ziva, looking up. Gibbs' brow frowned while he concentrated.

'' Saturday?'' Ziva tutted.

'' Yes it is Saturday. What else is it?'' pressed Ziva.

'' July the first?''

'' Yes. Jethro, it is Summer! Finally! It is my element! Goodbye Autumn, goodbye Winter, goodbye Spring, hello Summer!'' exclaimed Ziva, her smile still on my face. Gibbs shook his head in amusement.

'' Is that all you're excited about? Summer?'' said Gibbs, sitting down opposite Ziva. She looked at him, a mischevious sparkle twinkling in her eye.

'' The heat, the sun and warmth are my element, Tony's reign and jokes are over, I am going to get him back for the half year he tormented me.'' she declared. Gibbs shook his head then looked at her.

'' What do you have in mind?'' she grinned.

'' Now that, my dear Jethro, would be telling.'' she said, before resuming cleaning her weapon. Gibbs chuckled.

'' Oh, which reminds me, on the fourth it's-''

'' Independence Day, no?'' said Ziva, without looking up. Gibbs frowned in disbelief.

'' You know it?''

'' The day in which America liberated itself from the United Kingdom.''

'' How did you know that?'' Ziva looked up at him with a grin on her face.

'' It is all Abby has been talking about for the past week, Ducky has pulled me to the side to explain it to me... several times. And I overheard Jenny booking another hotel for a party, which we will attend together.'' Gibbs chuckled and stood to re-fill his cup of coffee, then he sat back down.

'' So, my sweetheart, what are we doing today?'' Ziva looked at him.

'' I am thinking... beach.'' she grinned. Gibbs returned it.

'' You pack up the towels and my sunscreen and I'll do up a picnic.'' said Gibbs, Ziva nodded and got up and kissed him, then disappeared.

'' Gotta love Israeli's and bikini's.'' said Gibbs to himself.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

'' What are you doing today Probie?'' asked Tony, outside McGee's apartment door with Abby beside him.

'' Come on McGee, it's a nice day.'' she called through the keyhole.

'' Open up Probie or do I have to kick the door in?'' A few rattles of a keychain and the door opening soon answered his question. A red puffy eyed McGee looked at them.

'' Hayfever McGee, really?'' said Tony.

'' Go away.''

'' Come on McGee, there's no plants or grass at the beach.'' said Abby, swinging out of his arm.

'' Yeah, come on McGoo.''

'' I can't, look at me.'' Tony pulled a revolted face.

'' I have hay fever meds.'' said Abby in a sing-song voice.

'' Fine... where are we going?''

'' The beach, weren't you listening?'' pouted Abby.

'' Yeah, let me go grab a towel.'' said McGee.

'' And trunks! We love you Probie, but not that much.'' said Tony. Abby giggled.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

After rolling out the blanket, Gibbs settled, ready for an afternoon of relaxation. Ziva looked at him, her eyes narrowed, Gibbs couldn't help but whistle out at the sight before him. Ziva had wore a black bikini, the top half had two knots as did the bottom half.

'' What?''

'' You look great in a bikini, Zi.'' Ziva blushed.

'' You do not look bad in trunks either, my marine.'' Gibbs grinned and pulled her down so she was on top of him. He rolled so he was on top, straddling her. He bent down and kissed her.

'' Get off of me.'' giggled Ziva.

'' Or what?''

'' I will scream.''

'' And that's supposed to make me get off of you?''

'' Jethro...'' giggled Ziva, before he assualted her lips with his own. When he stopped he looked at her, smiles on both of their faces.

'' I want to go into the water.'' Gibbs grinned at her.

'' Oh, do you now?'' said Gibbs, standing up and then picking her up bridal style. He walked down into the water so the water was lapping at his feet. He looked at her and grinned.

'' Jethro, you drop me I swear to God...'' Gibbs carried on walking into the water until it reached his hips.

'' Jethro... If I am going down I am taking you with me...'' warned Ziva. Jethro grinned and threw her. She hit the water creating a splash, that sprayed Gibbs. She appeared, glaring at Gibbs, who bit back a laugh.

'' Jethro...''

'' Zi, before you go there, just remember I love you and I think you're incredibly beautiful, especially when you're pissed.'' said Gibbs, she growled and launched herself on top of him, sending them both under the water. The re-emerged breathing heavily, both soaked, he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him and they kissed deeply.

'' Great, now we're both wet.'' said Gibbs, pretending to be annoyed. Ziva kissed him again.

'' Some of us, more ways than one, yes?'' said Ziva before swimming off. Gibbs grinned at what she was implying and swam after her.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

'' Ah, the beach, home of cute girls, volleyball and very bad sunburn.'' said Tony proudly. The three walked down to a part of the beach that wasn't very crowded and they settled.

'' Oh, I called Ducky and the Director, they'll be here soon.'' said Abby, rubbing sunblock into her skin.

'' What about Boss and Ziva?'' asked McGee, Tony shot up.

'' See... Boss and Ziva, told you they were seeing each other.'' said Tony.

'' Tony, I only said their names, it's completely different.'' argued McGee, before looking at Abby and smiling.

'' Have you noticed whenever we get a day off, Boss and Ziva disappear. Heck, have you noticed we are getting loads more days off.'' said Tony, arguing back. Abby looked out at the ocean to see a couple playing tonsil tennis.

'' Wow! Look at them.'' she said, hoping it would distract the arguement. Tony and McGee looked to where she was pointing. Tony wolf-whistled quietly.

'' She has a nice body.'' said Tony. McGee squinted, then frowned.

'' Isn't that Ziva?'' They all squinted and at that point the woman turned and it WAS Ziva.

'' Oh my God!'' exclaimed Abby and Tony in unison.

'' Who she with?'' questioned McGee, all three of them were too busy looking they didn't notice the Director and Ducky walking over to them.

'' Well, well, well, nice to see you care about us geting here.'' huffed Jenny before dropping her stuff on the mat. When none of them answered she glared.

'' Hello?'' Abby, McGee and Tony turned and looked at her.

'' Sorry... Director, ma'am... I mean Jenny.'' stumbled Abby. Jenny shook her head and Ducky smiled an amused smile.

'' What were you three looking at anyway?'' asked Jenny, standing between Tony and Abby. McGee pointed at Ziva and her partner playing tonsil tennis.

'' Tell us if that's Ziva, because we think it is.'' said Tony. Ducky and Jenny squinted.

'' Ooh, wonder who that guy is, he looks good enough.'' said Jenny.

'' It is Ziva. I wonder who he is.'' mused Ducky aloud.

'' Let's ask her.'' said McGee. The other four looked at him.

'' Are you insane Probie?''

'' She'll kill us.'' said Abby and Jenny at the same time. Ziva and her 'mystery' partner got out of the water where they settled on their mat, keeping their backs to the rest of the team, several yards up the beach.

'' I really want to go over there now.'' said Abby, as they heard Ziva laugh. Ziva straddled her partners hips and bent down to kiss him. Abby couldn't contain herself any more.

'' ZIVA!!!'' yelled Abby, waving her hands. Ziva looked up and stared in shock.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Straddling Gibbs and bending down to kiss him, was heaven, in Ziva's eyes. Their lips locked and Ziva froze when she heard someone who strangely sounded like Abby, yell her name. She looked up and her jaw dropped.

'' Oh, mierda.'' she cursed as she saw Abby, Tony, Jenny, Ducky and McGee looking at her with great interest. Gibbs had enough sense to stay down.

'' Who is it?''

'' Everybody.''

'' Great... DiNozzo's going to have a field day.'' said Gibbs sarcastically.

'' It is not funny.''

'' Hey Zee!! Who's the lucky guy?'' called Jenny.

'' They don't recognise me... that's great, now I'm really hurt.'' said Gibbs. Ziva would have laughed if she wasn't wishing the world would swallow her up.

'' Take the stuff, just leave my cell and phone, you can leave without being seen, yes?'' Gibbs pulled her down.

'' Are you ashamed of me?''

'' No!''

'' Then what's the problem?'' he asked.

'' I am not ready.'' she whispered, looking at him.

'' Oh and you think I am?'' Ziva looked at him.

'' What if they hate us? Jenny-''

'' If they aren't happy for us, they aren't our friends. Jenny is a good person, she'll understand.'' soothed Gibbs.

'' God! This is worse than getting blown up.'' said Ziva.

'' Come on, we'll do it together, like we've always done.'' Ziva stood up and held out her hand.

'' Come on... Partner.'' grinned Ziva, waving at her friend to come over. They all ran down the beach... well Ducky was walking. They reached Ziva, then Gibbs turned around. Jenny and Abby screamed, McGee grinned while Ducky patted Gibbs on the shoulder. Tony was a different story all together.

'' Yeah!!! I frikkin' knew it!!! I'm a genius!!! I knew it!!!'' he yelled, jumping in the air and punching the air. Once he calmed down, he looked at Gibbs and Ziva. Gibbs left Ziva and advanced on Tony.

'' Er... Boss?''

'' You kissed her DiNozzo.''

'' Oh! About that Boss...'' said Tony, backing away. Jenny punched Ziva on the arm.

'' What was that for?''

'' For not telling me, I'm your best friend, you could have mentioned something.'' growled Jenny. Ziva blushed. After Gibbs had finished headslapping Tony he walked back over to Ziva and wrapped his arm around her waist.

'' How long?''

'' Since Autumn.'' said Gibbs, he and Ziva sharing a proud smile. Tony opened his mouth to say something stupid but Gibbs beat him to it.

'' DiNozzo, you rag on Ziva about us, I promise it won't be your head that hurts.'' Tony gulped and kept his mouth shut. Ducky smiled.

'' As we all know Ziva doesn't have any brothers to fight her corner, I'd like to say Jethro, you hurt her and you'll be sorry.'' said Ducky.

'' Yeah, Boss, you'll be sorry.'' agreed McGee, Tony nodded his agreement aswell.

'' That really is not necessary.'' said Ziva. Gibbs looked at Ziva, giving her a longing look.

'' Now if you all don't mind, Ziva and I were planning on spending the day alone.'' said Gibbs. The team ''oohed'', while Tony wolf whistled. Gibbs glared while Ziva blushed.

Gibbs and Ziva grabbed their belongings and left, they were halfway up the beach when Tony yelled-

'' Use protection, Boss!'' earning him some strange looks from other people.

'' I'm so glad they're together,'' said Abby. They all looked at Tony, after he made a funny noise.

'' What?''

'' I knew it... feel free to call me God.''
