Hey! Remember me! I'm not dead! I know, it's a miracle considering I haven't updated in so long, but here I am!! I know it's short, but I felt really bad cause I've had NO time to upload new chapters. So I thought I'd just give you this to chew on until I get out of school on June 5th.


Tristan turned to his sister and said,

"I don't think we were supposed to tell them." Skyler bit her lip.

"You know, you're probably right." Ziva shook her head.

"No...no that...that can't be possible."

"Yeah," Tony said, "Ari killed Kate and Gibbs killed Ari." Tristan and Skyler looked confused.

"What? Oh..."

"Someone got left in the dark," Skyler said to her brother. Tony looked at his two kids.

"I want someone to tell me what the hell is going on right now!"

"DiNozzo," Gibbs said, laying a hand on the younger man's shoulder, "calm down. Now, Sky, Tristan, please explain to us what the hell is going on. I saw Ari and Kate die myself."

"Actually," Tristan said, "you really didn't." Suddenly, Tony's phone rang.

"DiNozzo. Hey Heather we're fine. Yeah. We found them. No. They're fine. Ok, love you too. Bye."

"Heather," Skyler said.

"Yep. The house got too quiet so she started looking for us. Found out we weren't there and freaked out."

"Wait but wasn't her room empty when we checked it?"

"Girls have to pee sometimes McGee." McGee blushed.

"I didn't mean...um...I..." McGee just trailed off at the end.

"Wow," Tristan said.

"Guys, will you please explain to all of us how Kate and Ari are alive," Ziva asked. Skyler sighed and began telling the story. When she was done, the entire team stared at her and Tristan.

"So they only faked their deaths so that they could be with each other," Tony asked, "but that doesn't make any sense!"

"Believe me, if you knew my father it does make sense," Ziva said, "I can't believe I didn't realize it before." Gibbs looked around the room and sighed.

"When will they be back?"

"Well I don't know, Adop it's a baby, not a dentist appointment. I'm guessing Auntie Kate won't be back for a couple of days and Uncle Ari..." Before Skyler could finish her sentence, the wooden door swung open and in stepped one Ari Haswari. Ziva gasped and Tony cocked his head to one side. Now that he knew Ari didn't actually kill Kate, he was curious about the man, especially because he was related to Ziva.

"Ari," Ziva breathed.

"Ziva," the man questioned. The two just stared at each other for a minute before Ari rushed forward and pulled Ziva into a hug. He spun around with her in his arms.

"Shalom akhoti. I have missed you so much." He placed Ziva on the ground again. Ziva looked up at her brother, then reached up and slapped the back of his head.

"Ow! What was that?"

"The famous Gibbs head slap," Tony said, coming up behind Ziva. Ari looked up.

"Who are you," he asked, seeming to notice Tony, Gibbs, and McGee for the first time. Tony extended his hand.

"Anthony DiNozzo. NCIS."

"You are Anthony DiNozzo," Ari asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing. I just would have expected you to be...different. Then again, you can tell you are the children's father."

"Speaking of which, do you mind telling me why you kidnapped my son and daughter?" Ari laughed.

"I am sorry to concern you and my sister. Caitlin and I just wished to see them. After all, they are my neice and nephew."

"How did you know which two to take? There were three kids." Ari smirked.

"I saw Ziva in them." Ziva and Ari looked at each other and smiled. Ari then looked past Tony.

"Special Agent Gibbs," he said, "no hard feelings I hope." Gibbs flashed Ari his famous smirk and slapped the back of the former Mossad officer's head.

"Welcome to the family."
