Ziva slept a peaceful night. The fact that the burden of her father beating her was known and that people were there for her now made her sleep easy, knowing he could never touch her again with Gibbs, Jenny and Tony by her side. She was worried that when she fell asleep she would have nightmares of her father, but she didn't. As she awoken and felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist and his breath on her neck, she realised why she didn't have nightmares. Because she was protected in the comfort of Tony being there, all night.

She moved slightly and she felt his arm tighten around her.

"Ziva" he whispered, still half asleep and then he slowly opened his eyes, squinting them as the light of the morning hit him. He took in the sight of her warmly smiling down at him when he moved his head up to look at her.

"Morning Tony" she smiled as she brought her hand softly to his cheek. He moved slightly in the bed so he was face to face with her.

"Morning beautiful" he said right before he softly kissed her lips. He pulled back slightly and her smile was brighter.

"Hmm a good morning at that" she whispered before nuzzling her face into his neck. And he giggled. Wait did he just giggle? Ziva wondered with a smile and she nuzzled her nose into his neck again and he giggled. He is giggling. She did it again and again and he started to get the hysterics.

"Ziva…Ziva stop it" he said laughing as she kept doing it. For some reason when she did that thing with her nose on his neck it made him all ticklish. She did it again.

"Ziva, I'm going to wet my pants if you keep doing that" he laughed. She stopped and looked down at him.

"Well go toilet then and come back, I will not have you wetting my bed" Ziva chuckled and he smiled as he quickly climbed out of her bed. He didn't expect it when she smacked his bottom and he turned around and looked at her.

"You're the one that stuck it in my face" she shrugged with a smile. He just chuckled and went down the hall.

When he got back Ziva was standing by her window in the room, wrapped in the sheets from the bed, watching the rain fall against her window as it continued from the night before. Tony slowly walked up behind her and brought his arms around her waist as his face went into the crook of her neck.

"You like the rain, don't you?" he mumbled against her skin. He felt her nod.

"Yes, it reminds me of when I was younger and one day it started to rain, and really rain. Ari, Tali and I all ran outside and played in the rain for hours, until our mother brought us inside because she didn't want us getting sick. And we got dry clothes and all sat by the window as my mother read us a story. I was about six at the time, it is one of my fondest memories of them" she spoke quietly and held back her tears, she was strong and she wanted the memory to be happy and not a sad one. She felt Tony hold her closer.

They stood there for a while, both just watching the rain until they both got hungry and went to get some breakfast. On the kitchen bench was a note from Jenny.

Rang the school and told them you both won't be in today, rest up today and just relax. There is some food for lunch in the fridge, Gibbs and I will be home at five, Abby and Tim should be home after school.

Mom xx

They ate breakfast and not being tied they had snuggled up on the couch in the lounge and watched movies all day. They were still in their sleeping attire and wrapt in Ziva's bed sheets on the couch when Tim and Abby had gotten home from school. Tim and Abby had walked into the lounge quietly, Abby still didn't really know what went on last night, and she had told Tim what happened and he was also worried. As soon as the two entered Ziva could see it on both their faces that they were worried. She gave a look to Tony and whispered.

"Tony" with the simple word of just his name he knew what she was thinking. He lifted her onto his lap to make room for Tim and Abby on the couch. Tim and Abby caught on and took the now spare space on the couch. Ziva took a deep breath and looked at the two worried people in front of her as she felt Tony's hand in hers and the other on her back rubbing it gently.

"Abby, Tim, last night I had some memories come back to me, and these memories are of when my father beat me when I was younger, I had a bit of a breakdown but I am ok now" she stated softly. There was silence for a moment as Abby and Tim took it all in. Then Abby softly grabbed Ziva's free hand.

"I am sorry Ziva" she stated and Ziva shook her head.

"No it is fine Abby, you do not need to apologise for what you did not do" Ziva replied.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Abby wanted to make sure she was a hundred percent; she won't have her sister being upset.

"I am fine Abby, thank you" Ziva told her and Abby knew she was telling the truth.

"I know Gibbs, Jenny and Tony all are there for you, but Abby and I are also here too" Tim stated and Ziva smiled at him.

"Thank you too Tim" she replied and he gave her a smile.

"So what are we watching?" Abby asked, changing the subject. They had then put another movie on and all four of them watched movies on the couch. When they got home Gibbs and Jenny smiled when they saw the kids in the lounge watching movies, Abby and Tim sitting next to each other and Ziva lying in Tony's lap while they were wrapt in what looked to be most of Ziva's bed.

They all had said 'hi' and things and the kids went back to the movie while Jenny and Gibbs both cooked dinner tonight. They talked while they were in the kitchen.

"So I think Ziva is much better than she was last night?" Gibbs pointed out to his wife.

"I believe so, she looks happy again" Jenny said smiling, seeing her daughter smile again after what happened last night was a big relief. Jenny hadn't just been worried about Ziva today though, she worried about her husband too. He had got a bit personal at work today but only she knew why.

Gibbs' team had been working a case, a young navy woman had been severely beaten and killed. After working the case for a few days they had caught the murderer today, it was her father and Gibbs was in charge of the integration. Jenny knew there was going to be a problem as soon as she heard it was the father who had done it. So she went to watch the integration personally so if he did get out of hand she could calm him down. She was in the integration viewing room with two of Gibbs' agents, Zachery Williams and Dana Smith.

Gibbs sat as calmly across from the man as he could. He was a bit older than Gibbs but he was a strong man, who had easily beaten his navy daughter. Gibbs stared the man down for a long time but then he spoke.

"Why did you do it?" he pressed. The older man, Felix Hunt, the murderer, just smirked.

"Do what?" he said playing innocent. Gibbs lost his cool a bit.

"Only beat your daughter so bad you cracked five of her ribs, one pierced her lung, broke her radius and ulna bone on her right arm as she tried to defend herself from your boot, cracked her jaw and finally killed her when you smashed her head open with your bare fists, that's all" Gibbs spoke angrily and the last bit sarcastically with a icy tone.

"She deserved it" Felix simply stated, not caring at all. Gibbs slammed his hands on the desk making Felix and the three agents in the next room jump.

"NO ONE EVER HAS THE RIGHT TO BEAT THEIR DAUGHTER TO A PLUP JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK THEY DESVERE IT!" Gibbs yelled and Felix shrunk in his seat at his anger. Agent Williams turned to Jenny.

"Director is the boss alright I haven't seen him get that angry before" he asked looking seriously worried. Jenny just nodded and went into the hall to go to the integration door. She put her head in looked at Gibbs.

"Agent Gibbs, a word?" she said directing him formally. Gibbs just got out of his seat and went into the hallway and closed the door behind him.

"What Jen? You know I don't like to be interrupted in interrogation" he said still mad but it wasn't aimed at her and she knew that.

"Jethro, I know this has gotten personal for you" she said softly and placed her hand on his shoulder "But I think it will be best if one of your agents finish the integration" she said and he just nodded, knowing his wife was right, she always was when it came to him.

"Ok Jen, but I cant get that sick pig out of my head, how can he do that to his daughter, just like what that basted Eli did to Ziva. I just want to beat Eli himself for treating her like that" Gibbs said getting angry again. Jenny just kept calm.

"Jethro, I know me too. How about you go up to my office and take a break, I will get your agents onto it and be right up" he gave her a quick peck before walking off towards her office, not saying anything else. Jenny knew he was a difficult man to handle but she knew how to handle him and she loved him no matter what.

"Jen?" Gibbs asked again and she finally snapped out of her daydreaming.

"Huh?" she asked. Gibbs just chuckled; she had obviously been somewhere else.

"I said I'm not sure what would have happened if Tony wasn't here" Gibbs explained.

"Yes I agree, he helped her a lot" she replied and they went back to making the dinner.

Everyone had had dinner in the lounge, considering most of the house was already in there. And everyone was happy, Jenny and Gibbs were glad about that; it was like nothing had happened last night. After dinner Tim had said he was going to head home as it was a school night, he said goodnight to everyone who was now seated on the kitchen bench while Gibbs and Jenny were in the kitchen. After Tim left Abby went upstairs to do some homework.

Then Tony looked at Ziva next to him, she looked back at him, almost reading what he was about to say.

"Well I better head off too, school tomorrow and I have a house to get back to" he spoke to everyone. Ziva was sad that he was going but she knew she couldn't be with him every single minute for the rest of her life so she smiled, knowing she would see him again in the morning. Tony smiled back and then looked up at Jenny and Gibbs who were looking at him.

"Thank you Jenny, Gibbs" he stated. They both nodded at him. He then turned to Ziva. He knew her parents were right there, probably watching, but that didn't bother him; he knew it didn't bother her either.

"Night Ziva, I will see you in the morning" he said quietly before he leant forward and gave her a quick peck to the lips. After they smiled at each other and he jumped off the stool.

"Night Tony, Thank you" she replied as he smiled at her one more time before disappearing out the door with a 'see ya' aimed at everyone.

After he had gone she turned back in her seat to face her parents who were both pretending they didn't see anything, but she smiled knowing they did and they were faking it. Jenny had made her a hot chocolate and gave it to her and she and Gibbs stood across from her with their own drinks.

"So you're alright?" Gibbs asked softly. She nodded as she took a sip from her drink.

"Yes I am much better, I don't know how it happened, it sort of just happened, but I think I will be fine now" she stated calmly.

"We are both glad you are ok Ziva, you gave us such a scare last night, and we were so worried. We were both glad to see you back again when we got home" Jenny said.

"It makes me happy you were worried, he would of never cared" Ziva plainly said.

"Well you are here now with us, and you are loved by us all" Jenny reassured her, it made Ziva smile.

"Thanks Mom, Dad, for everything"

"That's ok Ziver" Gibbs replied.

"You know I don't think I thank you guys enough, you have been really easy going with Tony and I, and I want to let you know we are respectful to you guys, you know" Ziva said, trying to say that they hadn't gone behind their back, abusing the privileges they gave them. But they both seemed to get it.

"We know Ziver" Gibbs assured her. She smiled at her parents.

The next day at school in the PE changing room Tony's mate Jake had asked him if he was going to Jacob's party this weekend.

"What party?" Tony asked.

"Oh yeah you weren't at school yesterday, um Jacobs having a big party at his house cause' his parents are away. Friday night, are you gonna go? You can bring those friends of yours you hang out with, and Ziva, it's an open party" Jake explained.

"I dunno, I might do"

"Aw come on dude, you haven't been to a party in like ages! You're like the man at all the parties" Jake protested, Tony had to smile at that.

"Ok, I guess I can come" Tony decided, he would be hanging out with Ziva, so he will just ask her to come.

On the drive home to Ziva's that day they had Tim and Abby in the back, Tim's car wouldn't start this morning so they had caught a ride with him. And Abby had randomly leant forward and started talking.

"So are you going to Jacob's party this weekend?" she asked and Tony looked back at her.

"You know about Jacob's?"

"Yeah well you see, Jacob is in my IT class and we get along really well, he asked me and Timmy to come"

"So are you going?" Tony asked, amazed at the different people Jacob got along with, he was a Jock and he didn't figure him as an Abby type.

"Yeah I told Timmy we were going" she said proudly and Tim sat there not happy about it.

"I don't even like parties Abby, the last one I went to I puked everywhere, it wasn't funny" Tim stated when everyone laughed.

"It's ok Timmy, I'll look after you this time, ok. So are you going?" Abby said looking back at Tony.

"Yeah I told Jake I was going to go, I was gonna ask Ziva if she wanted to come" he said looking over at her. She smiled at him.

"I would love too" she replied, and then Tony looked back at Abby.

"Yep I'm going" he smirked.

"Awesome! This is going to be so much fun!" Abby said over excited.

The rest of the week had gone pretty quick, just normally classes at school with not much happening, and now it was Friday after school, Tony and Ziva walked back to his car after Auto and jumped in as they headed to her house.

"So I haven't even asked you this all week and I don't even know, have you even been to a party before?" he suddenly asked, remembering what he was thinking about last night while he lay in his bed. She smirked.

"Yes I have been to quite a few, I know Eli was strict, but…every time he had business overseas and left me at home alone I would always go out with my friends, a lot of the time it was parties, they are quite popular with our age in Israel" she smirked and he was shocked because he actually thought she was going to say no.

"Oh really? So your not a good little girl after all" he smirked, she slapped him on the arm playfully.

"Just like you are not the good little boy I bet with the parties you have been to" she shot back at him with a smirk.

"Touché, so what were these Israel parties like then?" he asked very intrigued.

"Well there is drinking, a lot of drinking, dancing, crazy people doing crazy things, I would say much the same as America from what I have heard"

"I would say it sounds much the same" he confirmed and they laughed.

Abby and Tim were at the house when they got there. Gibbs and Jenny would be home late tonight or not at all as they were stuck on a busy case at the moment and so everyone was just going to crash here after the party. They had asked if everyone could stay tonight and Gibbs had said it was alright with him as long as they all behaved. And Gibbs had made it clear to Ziva and Abby when they asked if they could go to the party that, they behave themselves and not get so drunk they passed out or something like that, he also made it clear to look after each other.

Now Tony and Tim were downstairs getting ready for the party while the girls were upstairs. Tony had showered first and put on some dark jeans and he was looking for his t-shirt, he had no idea where he had put it. So while Tim showered he was walking around topless looking for it. Little did he know Abby had stolen it and hid it in Ziva's room. Abby and Ziva had both showered and were getting dressed in Ziva's room when there was a knock on her door. They both quickly slipped their clothes on before they let whoever it was in. Ziva went to the door and opened it. She saw Tony and could help but stare, she always did when she got to see him shirtless with those godly toned muscles on his arms and chest. He smirked when he saw her checking him out. She snapped out of it when she saw that smirk.

"Where is your shirt?" she asked acting as though she hadn't been staring.

"Well that's why I came up here, I dunno, I can't find it" he said slightly puzzled on how he lost his shirt he had ten minutes ago.

"Isn't it that over there" Abby suddenly said and Tony walked in the room to find it on her desk chair.

"Yeah, how did it get up here?" he asked looking at Ziva.

"What?" she asked.

"You just wanted to see me shirtless so you stole it" he smirked at her.

"I did not" she protested. He gave her a quick kiss.

"Sure" he said sarcastically with a grin. "You can just ask next time" he stated, she just rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Well I'll go see if Tim's ready, be right back ladies" and as soon as Tony left Abby started laughing and Ziva turned to her.

"It was you!" Ziva pointed at her, and then she started to laugh with Abby about it.

Tim was ready. He was wearing some jeans and a green t-shirt. Tony was wearing jeans and a grey t-shirt with some football logo on it. Abby was wearing a cute black dress and Ziva was wearing some tight jeans and a low cut black t-shirt. They all got into Tony's car and he drove off towards Jacob's house. When they pulled up just a bit down from the house (because there were so many cars) they jumped out and walked down the road to his house. When they saw it they saw just how many people were there, there were lots; from outside they could see the house was crowed.

The four of them headed up the path towards the house, so they could join the party and have some fun!

Ok so I stopped it here so the next chapter can be the party haha I have some interesting ideas for that so just you wait.

So let me know what you thought of this chapter and I will promise you the party chapter tomorrow ;)

Hundan.
