Yes, Ziva is still Mossad (or technically was Mossad, but whatever). I'm just saying that she and Ari weren't related, she and Jenny didn't work together, and she came to NCIS before Jenny.
The next morning, Gibbs and Jenny arrived to work together to find a situation that they did not want to deal with.
It was an all out war in the MCRT section of the bullpen. Ziva stood with her teeth bared, aiming pens, paper clips, and anything else she could find at Kate, who was holding her own against the trained assassin, throwing back her own office supplies. Tony was futilely attempting to break the two women up. Tim and Abby were watching helplessly, both secretly rooting for Kate, with Ellie standing nearby rooting for Ziva.
"Ziva, knock it off!" Tony yelled once more, exasperated. Ziva turned on her now ex-boyfriend, eyes blazing.
"We broke up two weeks ago Tony! And you have the audacity to parade your girlfriend around as if my feelings do not even matter!" she shrieked angrily. As the two bosses got closer, they could see the reason for the war outbreak.
A hickey on Kate's neck could clearly be seen, and the woman's lipstick could be seen on Tony's mouth. Gibbs sighed harshly and pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes. Jenny put a hand on his arm, effectively calming him down. The both of them stormed into the bullpen and stepped between the two women's desks.
"Stop. Now." Gibbs growled. Both women slowly put their projectiles down, staying silent.
"Explain." he snapped as Jenny slid her hand into his in another successful attempt at calming him down. "Ziva, go." The Israeli took a deep breath and launched into her story.
"I came in, and the two of them were acting like teenagers! She was sitting on his desk, and they were kissing, and he kissed her neck, and she ended up with that!" she finished by harshly jabbing her finger on Kate's hickey. Kate smacked her hand, hard, glaring at the other woman. Ziva growled but was stopped by Gibbs.
"Kate, go." he ordered.
"We didn't get to spend any time together yesterday because he worked late! He said he didn't want to wake me, so we agreed to meet here early this morning to spend some time together before everyone got here, and yeah, we made out a little. But we're lovers, it's not a big deal. She went psychotic when she walked in, and she started throwing pens at me!" the brunette cried. Ziva attempted to lunge for Kate but was caught by Gibbs.
"Stop it!" he barked. "Both of you, go home now!" Both women then packed up their stuff, about to head to the elevator. However, Tony stopped Kate by wrapping his arms around her chest gently from behind.
"Wait until she's gone." he whispered, kissing her earlobe gently. She nodded, placing her hands on his arms. Ziva glared at them before storming out of the bullpen. Once they were sure she was gone, Tony kissed Kate softly before sending her on her way as well.
"All of you get to work. We'll all sit down and resolve this once they've both cooled down." Gibbs said, finality in his tone. The rest nodded and went about their work as their boss shared a look with Jenny, who was ascending the stairs to the catwalk. She gave him a reassuring look, and that got him through the rest of the day.
*Kate's apartment that night*
Tony used his key to open the door, smiling when he saw his girlfriend curled up and asleep on her couch. The book she'd been reading was lying in a heap on the floor, indicating that she had been reading when she fell asleep. He picked the book up and placed it on the coffee table before gently covering her with a blanket and sitting down in an armchair. After about half an hour, he heard a soft moan and looked over just in time to see Kate's brown eyes blinking open.
"Tony?" she asked, still half asleep.
"Yeah Katie, I'm here." he smiled. She sat up rubbing her eyes, the blanket falling into her lap. Her hair was messy, her makeup was gone, and she was dressed in her pajamas (an old Baltimore P.D. shirt of his and a pair of black shorts), but to him she'd never looked more beautiful.
"How long have you been here?" she questioned.
"Bout half an hour." he answered. Her eyes widened.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" she demanded. He laughed lightly at the cute, annoyed expression her face before getting up and kissing her forehead.
"Because you looked so peaceful, and you needed the rest." he answered. "Now, how about dinner?" She nodded slowly, acknowledging that he was right about her needing the rest.
"What are we having?" He grinned. To surprise her, he'd gone out and gotten dinner from a place she loved but couldn't afford on a regular basis. When he pulled the bag out from the fridge, she gasped, covering her mouth.
"You got dinner from Olive Garden?" she whispered. He nodded.
"Chicken and gnocchi soup. Your favorite." he elaborated. He barely had time to put the bag down before she had jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him passionately.
"I love you so much." she breathed, leaning her forehead against his.
"I love you too." he replied, kissing her gently.
Sorry it's so short. I just wanted to get something up and also touch on Ziva's feelings on the new relationship. And yes, I know Olive Garden is not as fancy as other places, and not that expensive to some, but I love Olive Garden, and I was too lazy to look up fancy restaurants.
