When Akiva, Aliyah and Vulcanica came to visit the next day they were met by the site of Ziva sitting in her mother's lap by the piano listening to her mother play it. Smiling Rivka took Ziva's hands and helped her play a few notes before she took over to complete the song. Smiling Ziva watched how her mother's fingers glided over the notes while she softly sang into ZIva's ear. Smiling brightly Ziva saw Akiva and the others in the door and said "Akiva come listen, Ima's really good" beckoning her over as Rivka stopped singing saying "Hi guys" as she continued playing. Smiling Akiva said "Hi Rivka, you play?" motioning to the piano as she, Aliyah and Vulcanica sat down on the couches that surrounded the piano.

Smiling Rivka said "a small hobby" before she smiled fondly when Ziva said "Ima's really good" proudly still watching her mother's fingers before saying "Hi Vulcanica" glancing at the dragon as Aliyah gasped saying "what, no greeting for me?" which made everyone chuckle as Ziva said "Hi Aliyah" smiling brightly at the man before she returned her attention to Rivka's hands. Smiling Aliyah asked "Zevy, can you play?" motioning to the piano. Shaking her head Ziva said "No, I just like listening to Ima play" leaning back into her mother's chest with a big, bright smile on her face.

Aliyah was about to say something when a scowling Ari walked into the room asking "Ima do I have to go?" displeasure evident in his voice as he straightened the black tie of his black Armani suit. Smiling sadly Rivka nodded saying "Yes, you look very handsome" fondly. Smiling Aliyah asked "where are you going?" motioning to his suit, white shirt and shined black shoes. Sighing Ari said "Abba is going to a ceremonial thing and I am the lucky bastar…" "Ari" "the lucky one that has to accompany him as member of the David Family" monotony as he motioned to his suit with a fake smile on his face. Chuckling Aliyah said "well Ari think of the free food" "I get free food here, at home Aliyah, doesn't it work like that at your house?" Ari said raising a suggestive eyebrow at Aliyah who just smirked while Rivka sighed.

When Akiva and Aliyah walked into the manor the next day they were met by Eli sitting in the living room reading but no Ziva which prompted Aliyah to say "Good afternoon my lord" making Eli look up from his book saying "please Aliyah, call me Eli, good afternoon Akiva" as he stood up from his seat to greet them properly. Nodding respectfully Akiva said "good afternoon Eli, is Ziva sleeping?" glancing around for the little girl before she and Aliyah looked up at Eli when he said "No, she's in the study, this way" motioning to the hall politely. Reaching the study moments later they were met by the site of a bored Ziva, laying in her father's chair with her legs hanging over the side while she stared at the ceiling like a dead person which made Akiva and Aliyah smirk in amusement. Sighing Eli walked up to his daughter asking "have you been studying Ziva?" looking at his daughter questioningly.

Sighing in boredom Ziva looked at her father saying "Abba this is boring" "did you study?" "Yes, can I go play now?" Ziva asked looking questioningly at her father, who raised an eyebrow saying "Okay answer one question, what are the four most common and rarest dragons, according to the book?" which made Ziva sigh in boredom as she rolled off the chair saying "well the most common dragon is the fire dragon, 40% of the manor population has one, then you get the earth with 20% of the population and the water and wind share with a recurrence rate of 10%, the four rarest dragons only occur every few generations and they are the light, dark, Iron and ice dragons, can I go now?" the boredom evident in her voice as she stared blankly at her father.

Smiling proudly Eli patted Ziva's head, which made her frown at him, saying "well done, you may go" proudly and half expected Ziva to run from the room like a bat out of hell but raised an eyebrow when Ziva crossed her arms over her chest while she stared at him. Sighing Eli shook his head saying "how much?" "20" Ziva said holding out her hand to her father while Akiva and Aliyah tried not to laugh at the scene in front of them. Placing the money in Ziva's hand Eli said "Okay, go play" motioning to the door with his head as Ziva placed the money in her pocket saying "see ya later Abba" before she ran for the door where Akiva and Aliyah stood laughter written all over their faces.

Smiling proudly Ziva said "Hi guys" innocently which made Aliyah chuckle while Akiva just shook her head in amusement asking "what was that?" laughter evident in her voice which made Ziva smile brightly saying "money is money old lady" proudly while the others laughed.

Sitting in the living room with Ziva in his lap Aliyah asked "how did you do that Zevy?" "do what?" Ziva asked not taking her eyes off of the TV as Aliyah smiled saying "remember all those things in the book?" looking questioningly at the little girl, who shrugged saying "I don't know, I just look at it" happily. Smiling Aliyah tickled Ziva's feet, making her giggle before he asked "where's Ari and your Ima today Zevy?" fondly which made Ziva look up at him saying "Ima took Ari shopping, Ima wouldn't tell me why?" a slight frown evident on her face before she shrugged, returning her attention back to the TV.

Smiling Aliyah made to say something when Akiva came back into the room with sandwiches and Eli, who said "baby girl, you hungry?" looking questioningly at his little girl. Nodding Ziva smiled saying "Yes please Abba?" tearing her eyes away from the TV to look at her father, who smiled saying "okay" giving her a plate with a cut ham and cheese sandwich on it while Akiva sat down next to her husband with sandwiches for the both of them. Smiling her thank you Ziva climbed out of Aliyah's lap and climbed into her father's saying "thank you Abba" happily before she started eating with the others while her father kissed her head with a fond smile on his face.

Smiling an hour later Aliyah looked at the sleeping girl in her father's lap asking "my lor… Eli does Ziva have a photographic memory?" lifting his gaze to meet Eli's as he said "Yes she has but if I'm not mistaken Aliyah so do you" looking knowingly at Aliyah, who smiled shyly saying "Yes I do" proudly which made Akiva smile fondly at her husband. Stroking his little girl's back Eli said "Yes so how's her training going Akiva?" looking questioningly at Akiva, who smiled saying "Good, she's really into it" as the sound of front door being opened could be heard which made Ziva's eyes snap open moments before she completely vanished out of her father's lap which stunned the three adults into complete silence.

Smiling happily Ziva hugged her mother saying "Hi Ima, Ari" which made her brother smirk as he walked up the stairs with the bags in his hands while Rivka kissed her daughter's head saying "Hi baby girl, how are you feeling?" happily as she picked up her little girl and was about to say something when she saw three stunned expressions looking at her in disbelieve which made her frown asking "is there something on my face Eli?" making Ziva giggle as she wrapped her arms around her mother's neck while the others continued staring at them. Getting uncomfortable Rivka turned to Ziva asking "what did you do?" which made Ziva gasp saying "that's low Ima, I've been good but just ignore her she does that" pointing to Akiva while she gave her mother a disgusted look which made Rivka laugh saying "Well let's go play baby girl" heading to the stairs as Ziva laid her head down on her Ima's shoulder.

Walking up the stairs moments later Eli with Aliyah and Akiva heard the sound of Ziva's giggling coming from her room which made them go to it with confusion still written all over their faces. Reaching it they saw Rivka sitting on the floor next to Ziva and Ari with a few cards in her hands while she playfully glared at her children, who mimicked her actions, saying "draw" which made everyone show their cards. Realizing she had won made Rivka jump into the air saying "yes, cough it up guys" as she air punched dramatically making her children laugh as they gave her the money before watching as she did a little happy dance that made Ziva giggle while Ari just chuckled happily.

Smiling at the site Eli said "taking the food out of our children's mouth's are we love?" amusement evident in his voice as Rivka swirled around startled before she chuckled sheepishly while she straightened her clothes and hair while Akiva and Aliyah just looked away with smirks on their faces. Clearing her throat Rivka said "this is your fault for bribing our children into studies Eliyah" raising an eyebrow at Eli, who groaned at the use of his full name saying "I hate it when you call me that love" smirking at his wife before he and Rivka glared at Ari when he said "Oh we're scared for life and in front of guests nonetheless, do you have no shame father?" laughter evident in his voice while Ziva giggled happily.

Giggling Ziva climbed into Ari's lap and whispered something into his ear which made him laugh while the others looked at them questioningly. Settling down in her brother's lap Ziva listened as Rivka asked "what was that?" accusingly while the others continued staring at them. Wrapping his arms around his sister's waist so she wouldn't fall Ari said "need to know Ima but it wasn't about you or Abba" smirking at Akiva and Aliyah with a glint in his eyes as he picked Ziva up before walking past Akiva, who was frowning, and Aliyah, who was just shaking his head, saying "we're going playing Ima" while he set Ziva on his shoulders.

Sighing Rivka looked at Akiva saying "I'm sorry Akiva…" "No need it's okay, I'm just worried about what Ziva said" Akiva said making the others chuckle slightly before Rivka said "we're bound to find out from Scarisca, they tell him everything" "Yes love but he won't split on them" Eli said making Rivka nod apprehensively saying "yes, perhaps it's better we don't know what Ziva said" to herself before she looked at Akiva asking "are you guys staying for dinner Akiva?" looking expectantly at the younger woman. Smiling Akiva nodded saying "yes, if you don't min…" "not at all Akiva" Rivka said kindly as they left Ziva's room to go to the living room.

They we still sitting in the living room when Scarisca came into the room with Ziva on his shoulders and Ari at his side while they happily chuckled. Standing up Rivka looked at her daughter on her dragon's shoulders asking "baby girl want to take a nap?" as Scarisca took Ziva off of his shoulders and gave her to her mother saying "she's wiped" fondly while Ziva snuggled into her mother's chest. Smiling Ari jumped onto his couch with a sigh of contentment before he wrapped his arm over his eyes as Aliyah said "so buddy what did Zevy tell you earlier?" expectancy evident in his voice. Chuckling Ari closed his eyes saying "that is something you're gonna have to ask her Aliyah" amusement evident in his voice as Aliyah sighed saying "why so secretive buddy, I won't tell" "I'm not worried about you Aliyah, your wife on the other hand, I'm not so sure about" Ari said blinding pointing at the woman in question which made Aliyah ask "why?" "I don't know her" Ari said lazily as he looked at Akiva from beneath his hand. Frowning Aliyah said "of course you know her, she's my wife" "Yes I also know Lucy at school that doesn't mean I go tell her my secrets Aliyah" Ari said still staring at Akiva, who was staring back now, while Aliyah nodded saying "understandable but Akiva's pretty good with secrets Ari, as silent as the grave" dramatically making Ari chuckle slightly before he sat up staring at Akiva saying "I'll be in my room" and leaving as he continued staring at Akiva on his way to the door.

Sighing Akiva looked at the sleeping girl in her Ima's lap as Rivka smiled at her sadly saying "I'm sorry about that Akiva, Ari…" "it's fine Rivka but I wanted to asked, did Ziva have any training before we started?" Akiva asked looking questioningly at the older woman, who shook her head saying "No but Ari showed her a few things, how's the training going?" expectantly. Nodding Akiva said "it's good but did Ari teach her vanish?" questioningly while she, Aliyah and Eli looked questioningly at her. After pursing her lips in thought for a few moments Rivka glanced at her dragon before saying "no he showed it to her a few times but I don't think he taught her that why, is she having a hard time…" "Not at all she's very dedicated to the training but I just want to know Ziva's current skill level so that I don't waste time on things she already knows" Akiva said logically.

Nodding Rivka said "Um, I know she can do a few fire techniques and…" "Ziva can throw knives and shoot a…" "what?" Rivka called in disbelieve as she glared at her dragon, who shrugged saying "I didn't teach her that, Eli d…" "what?" "traitor" Eli hissed at the dragon before he turned to his scowling wife saying "I didn't teach her anything, she just likes playing with them, that's all" slightly defensively. Sighing Rivka looked down at her sleeping daughter saying "well Ziva never did like dolls" softly to herself as she stroked her daughter's hair soothingly.
