A/N: Sorry about the no updates! Yesterday and today me and Adiver [April] had a 24 hour straight NCIS marathon!!! Yaaaay!


Ziva looked at the girl. This was her sister? Her... half-sister.

"Shalom." She smiled at the girl, trying not to seem hostile. The girl already seemed scared of her. "Sh'mee Ziva. Ani shelax achot."

Penina took a seat next to Ziva.

"Boker tov, achot." She whispered. Ziva smiled encouragingly at her. It couldn't be easy to be shipped back to Israel from England without any prior notice as your father, mother, aunt and the rest of your family has been slaughtered. And then to also find that you have a sister that you never knew about.

"Bevokasha, Ziva. Achot lo. Chaverot anaxnu. Ken?" Ziva asked, and the girl nodded solemnly.

"Ken... Lama... Aba... Lama, Ziva, lama?" Ziva closed her eyes and bowed her head.

"Lo yadua ayadin. Mitz'ta'er." Ziva apologized. Penina stood up and walked over until she was standing in front of Ziva.

"Hatuxal la׳azor lee, be׳vakasha?" Penina begged, and Ziva stared into the deep brown eyes which were identical in color to hers.

"Ken." Ziva stood up. "Thank you for your time, Mr Naven. Goodbye. Penina, would you like to stay with your sister for a while?"

"Ken!" Penina smiled.

"We cleared up all the financial stuff and the family issues. Then we came back here. And here we are! Reporting for duty." Ziva smiled.

"Mezzas." The waiter announced, brandishing plates. "Maanek? Grape leaves?"

The plates were handed about until everyone had the right starters.

"So... Ziva... Penny is your only family left?" Ziva frowned, and blinked to stop the tears.

"Yes." She whispered. Tony patted her knee gently under table.

"She is your sister?" Abby asked. Ziva sighed.

"She is my... daughter. I... adopted her as my daughter." Ziva admitted, blushing slightly.

"Ziva's a mom!" Tony exclaimed, and Ziva glared daggers at him.

"Can I be a godmother?" Abby asked excitedly. Ziva laughed.

"I have already chosen godparents, Abby." Abby's face fell. "For godmothers, Director Shepard and Abby Scuito, and for godfathers Gibbs and McGee."

Tony hid his disappointment at not being on the list. Ziva obviously didn't think he was good enough... responsible enough... Well, he sort of wasn't.

"Single mom." Ziva chuckled.

"Who would you want as your dad, Penny?" Abby asked Penina, who thought for a moment. She shrugged.

"Tony would be an awesome dad." She grinned. Tony's eyes widened.

"Me? A father? No way!" He gasped. Him, as a father? Could you imagine all the catastrophes?

"Why not? Anyway, you would gte to marry Ziva too." Penny grinned impishly, as Ziva and Tony both flushed bright scarlet.

"DiNozzo, you have been recommended." Gibbs chuckled. Penina had caught onto the state of affairs very quickly.

Throughout dinner, conversation surrounded the subject of Ziva and Penina. As dinner drew to a close, conversation began to slow down.

"So, Zee, what are you doing later?" Tony asked.

"I don't know. Going home... Reading... That is about it really." Ziva admitted. Tony smiled.

"I was wondering if you wanted to have some drinks... or something, to celebrate you being back home." Ziva smiled at the suggestion.

"I would love to! But what about Penny?" She asked. She totally had not got used to being a mom. Especially to a teenage girl.

"She's fourteen, Zee." Tony pointed out and Ziva chuckled.

"Oh, yeah. I guess. I'm not really used to all of this." She admitted.

"So, you're coming over tonight?" Penny butted in.

"Uh, yeah." Tony replied. "I think. If it's okay with Zee."

"Ziva? Can Tony come over?" Penina asked, and Ziva chuckled.

"Yes, Tony can come over. New best friend, Penny?" She grinned.

"Totally. My best friend is my sister's boyfriend." Penina grinned and Ziva's mouth widened into a round 'o' shape.

"Penny!"

Ziva drove home with Penny in the passenger seat, and Tony tailed them from behind. They drew up in front of Ziva's apartment. Penny opened the passenger door and wandered up to the door.

Ziva followed her and unlocked it. She could feel the slight pressure of Tony's hand resting gently on her hip. She smiled.
