Chapter 10

"Unforgettable"

"Unforgettable, that's what you are/unforgettable, though near or far/like a song of love that clings to me/how the thought of you does things to me/never before has someone been more/unforgettable, in every way/and forevermore/that's how you'll stay/that's why darling it's incredible/that someone so unforgettable/thinks that I am unforgettable too."~Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole

Tony opened the door to Natalie's room; she was still sleeping peacefully in her bed. He walked over to her and sat down on the bed, brushing her long hair out of her face. She stirred slightly, looking like she was in the process of waking up. He was about to make one of the biggest decisions of his life and he wanted Natalie to be a part of that.

He smiled as she unconsciously snuggled up to his arm and grabbed it in her own. He loved to see her little hand in his, it reminded him of how much she had grown but also of how little she still was. Tony remembered the day he found out he was going to be a father, he honestly wasn't too thrilled. Back then he was still chasing loose women and running from anything that tied him down, the thought of having to take care of a baby absolutely terrified him.

Then, he found out the baby was going to be a girl, this scared him even more. At least with a boy he would have been able to play sports and teach him how to charm women, but a little girl? He honestly had no idea how he was going to manage.

He agreed with Natalie's mother that they were not going to be together, they would share custody and try to work together sometimes, but other than that they were on their own.

The day Natalie was born something in Tony changed, he had been the first person to hold her and picking up that little girl in his arms had felt so right. She had looked up into his eyes, and at that moment Tony realized there was nothing in the world he wouldn't do for his little girl. Her tiny fingers gripped his hand so tightly and he wanted nothing more than to hold her forever and protect her from anything and everything that ever threatened her.

He had been the one to name her, Natalie's mother had always tried to distance herself somewhat from the pregnancy and Tony had been the one to suggest her name, he liked it because it sounded pretty but also sophisticated. Also Natalie Wood had been one of his favorite actresses, but really the name just seemed to fit his beautiful little girl perfectly.

When Natalie's mother had left right before Natalie's second birthday, it had been hard but they had made it through and personally Tony thought they were much better off without the unnecessary drama she brought. He knew it was selfish, but he liked not having to share Natalie.

Tony was woken from his memory as Natalie stirred and began to open her eyes.

"Hey Peanut." He said, smiling down at her.

"Hi Daddy." Natalie said, sleepily.

He gave her a minute to stretch out before she fully woke up, Ziva had woken up early to go do something with Abby so Tony and Natalie had the day to themselves and Tony had the perfect plan.

"So, Ziva's with Abby. I thought you and I could carry out a secret mission." Tony said.

Natalie sat up quickly, "what kind?" She asked excitedly, her eyes lighting up as she spoke.

Tony pulled out a magazine from behind him and set it down in front of Natalie. "This kind."

Natalie squealed in excitement, "Daddy you are going to buy Ziva a ring!!" She said, barely able to contain her excitement.

Tony laughed, "Yep, I'm gonna ask Ziva to marry me, but before I can do that I need to get her a beautiful ring and I thought you could help me with that. " He said to Natalie.

"Oohh ooh yes I want to help!" She said, quickly jumping out of her bed.

"Okay okay Peanut, calm down!" Tony said putting his hands on her shoulders so she settled down. "Alright, now you have to promise me something."

Natalie nodded her head, "Okay?"

"You cannot tell Ziva anything about this. I won't be able to ask her for another week or two and I want her to be surprised, so you, Miss Cannot Tell A Lie, need to keep your mouth shut until you see this ring on Ziva's finger. Capisce?" Tony said.

Natalie laughed as she responded with "Capisce."

"Okay, lets eat some breakfast and get ready to leave. Sound good?" Tony asked as he bent down so Natalie could climb onto his back.

She giggled and hopped onto his back as he said, "Ready for take off? Destination, the kitchen!"

They had breakfast and got ready for their day, the pulled up to the mall and walked in. There it was Tiffany & Co., the mothership of engagement rings. Natalie grabbed his hand and dragged him into the store. They walked around to the back area of the store where Tony saw the engagement rings, there were so many of them and they were all beautiful. This was going to be difficult.

Tony and Natalie were looking at the displays when a woman came over to help them.

"Good morning sir, are you looking for an engagement ring?" She asked Tony.

Tony looked up, "Yeah, I am. I'm a bit lost here though."

"Well I would love to help you." She said, with a smile that made Tony feel a little better, hopefully she dealt with clueless men all the time.

"Do you know what kind of cut your fiancée likes?" She asked Tony.

"See she the only jewelry she really ever wears is a necklace. She's very simple when it comes to jewelry, so nothing too flashy." He said.

"Well we have many different cuts, round, princess, emerald, lucida, pear, oval, marquise, cushion, and heart." She said, pointing out each cut in the displays.

"Well we can definitely cut out heart, pear, and marquise, she wouldn't like those. I don't think she would like the circular ones either." Tony said, studying the cuts carefully.

"Okay, so then here we have princess, lucida, emerald, and cushion." She said as she pulled a couple rows of each cut out and put them on the table.

"Okay, these look like Ziva." Tony said as he pulled Natalie up into his arms so she could get a better look too.

"Ziva is your fiancées name, I've never heard that name before, its lovely." The saleswoman said, smiling at Tony and Natalie.

Tony smiled back, "Yeah the name suits the girl." He said studying the rings carefully, "Which do you like best, Peanut?" He asked Natalie.

"I like these." Natalie said, pointing at the emerald cut and adding, "I don't think she'll like it if you buy her the princess ones because she doesn't like it when you call her princess."

Tony and the saleswoman both laughed. "I think you might be right about that, Peanut." Tony said.

"You've got a very smart little girl there." The saleswoman said, smiling at Natalie.

Tony and Natalie preceded to pick out a beautiful emerald cut diamond for Ziva with two baguette diamonds on the sides, it was lovely, simple yet stunning, just like Ziva.

After getting the ring sized and everything sorted out, Tony and Natalie made their way outside. "How about we get us some hot chocolate, Peanut?" Tony asked, it was a rather nice day out so he wanted to take advantage of the sun and take Natalie for a little walk while he talked to her.

Natalie got her favorite peppermint hot chocolate and Tony got his coffee and they walked around the park chatting for a little bit about Natalie's school. Tony then sat down on a bench and pulled Natalie up to his side.

"So, I have never asked you this Peanut, but how do you feel about this whole situation? Are you okay?" Tony asked, looking intently at the little girl snuggled up to his side.

"Yes Daddy, I'm happy. I want Ziva to be my Mom so bad." Natalie said.

Tony smiled, "I'm glad. You're not upset that you're gonna have to share your dear old Dad with someone else?" Tony asked.

Natalie laughed, "No Daddy, Ziva makes you happy and she makes me happy. I like sharing you with her."

Tony hugged Natalie and kissed her forehead.

"Are you excited to get married Daddy?" Natalie asked, looking up at him.

Tony smiled, "Yeah, I am. I am really excited."

"How do you know that you want to marry someone?" Natalie asked.

"Well, you get this feeling. Like when you are around that person all you can do is smile and you just want to be with them forever. It feels like butterflies are in your stomach and are making you so happy that you feel like you could fly and every moment with that person gets better and better." Tony said.

"Will I ever find someone that gives me butterflies?" Natalie asked, looking up at Tony.

"Of course you will, someday when you are ready, you are going to meet a wonderful boy who treats you with respect and loves you and you will get married one day." Tony told her. "But you shouldn't think about that now. You have a long way till then and you have a lot to learn. You only get this kind of love once kiddo."

Natalie smiled and hugged Tony, "Thanks Daddy."

"Alright Peanut, how about we get going? I think you need some lunch." Tony said, as he stood up. Natalie followed suit and grabbed his hand and they walked together to the car.
