Chapter 10-Family
Ziva's eyes widened as she brought her hands up to her mouth in shock. "Tony, it's . . . it's," she began to tear up," beautiful." "Ziva, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I-"She kissed him before he could finish. "Yes, Tony." He looked at her as he took the ring out of its box and slipped it on her finger. Ziva had the biggest smile on her face; bigger than Tony's. She was happy. She was with Tony. That is what made her happy.
"Ziva!" Abby yelled as her Israeli and newly engaged friend bounded off the elevator. "Abby, look!" She held out her hand. As they walked back into the forensics lab, Abby asked, "So, you said yes then?" Another couple of screams erupted from the lab as Tony arrived via the elevator. "Tony, I'm sooo happy for you; for Ziva!" "Abby . . . I. Can't. Breathe." "Oh, sorry," she said as she released the senior field agent. "Kiss!" Both Ziva and Tony shot her a look, but then Tony took Ziva into his arms and kissed her. "Tony," she pulled back," not at work." "Oh, yea, sorry." "No, don't apologize." She kissed him back. "Just, well, you know what Gibbs said." "And what did I say, Agent David?" "Nothing, Gibbs." He eyed Tony and Ziva. "I thought we were reviewing cold case files today? Abby, I hope this wasn't a social call." "No, Gibbs. Tony and Ziva wanted to ask me a question." Gibbs turned to see that he and Abby were now alone. He turned back to Abby, only to see her typing away at an email; to Tony. It read:
Tony,
I'm so happy you finally asked her! She seems happier than she ever has. Do you have a date set yet? When you do, let me know! I want to be there. If you need help with anything, I'm here to help.
Abby
"Abby, what are you doing?" She didn't realize that he was still there. Surprised, she quickly hit send and exited out of her inbox. "Nothing that concerns you, Gibbs." "If it concerns one of my agents, then it damn well concerns me!" He didn't like secrets, especially if they were being kept from him. "Gibbs, something is wrong. You never, ever yell at me." She was hurt. "Abby, I'm sorry but something is going on around here. A certain someone or someones is keeping secrets from me. His phone rang. "Yea, Duck." "Jethro, you seem bothered. Do you need to talk?" "Yea, Duck, I do. I'll be right down."
"Tony!" McGee yelled across the bullpen. "Probie." "I just wanted to say congratulations! What was her reaction? Did she like it?" Tony, glaring at McGee, stood up again, and beckoned him towards the elevator. Once the doors closed, Tony flipped the emergency stop switch. "Tony, I didn't mean-" "Yea, I know McGee, but the boss doesn't know." "Oh, god, Tony, I'm so stupid, I forgot-" "It's ok, McGoogle. I almost kissed Ziva in front of him this morning. By the way, I wanted to ask you, well, uh," he cleared his throat, "will you be my best man at our wedding?" "Yea, Tony, of course!" McGee reached for the emergency stop switch, but Tony stopped him. "McGee, I never thought I would come out and say this but, I've always thought of you as the little brother I've never had." "Really, Tony, you mean that?" "Yea, Tim, I do. And to answer your question, she was speechless and she loved it." He grinned as he flipped the switch and the elevator roared back to life.
Ziva was back at her desk when Tony and McGee reappeared from their elevator office meeting. She gave Tony a look, a look that said: I need to talk to you. "McGee, I'm going to lunch. Want me to bring you back anything?" "Just the usual, Tony, thanks!" He and Ziva headed for the elevator.
"We have to tell him." Most of their car ride had been silent. "Yea, Zee, I know. That's going to be the hard part." He paused, deep in thought. "What about your dad? I know that he hates my guts, but if you want him-" "I do not want my father to walk me down the isle let alone be there. He's screwed up my life enough and I don't want him to ruin my wedding day as well." "When we get back, do you want to tell him or do you want me to?" They had picked up McGee's coffee and were heading back when both of their phones rang. "McGee." Tony looked at Ziva. She sighed, "Abby."
"Ah, it's about time, Jethro!" Gibbs had been pondering over that email. "Ducky, I think that there is something going on around here." Ducky was just sitting at his desk, finishing some paperwork. "Why the hell is my team keeping secrets from me? Do you have anything to say to me, Duck?" "Why do you ask that Jethro? Do you think that I'm keeping secrets from you?" "Well, it seems to me that the rest of my entire damn team is, so they must have told you something!" Gibbs glared at Ducky. "I must say Jethro, you must have gotten a hunch from that famous gut of yours and now you are down here interrogating me!" "Today, I went down to see Abby and she was writing an email to Tony congratulating him about something he had finally asked 'her' and asking him if he had a date set yet. Is the 'her' that Abby was referring to, is it who I think it is, Duck? Is it Ziva?" "I'm afraid so, Jethro." "Well, then what the hell did he ask her?" Gibbs demanded. "Jethro, our dear boy Anthony, he asked her to marry him."
