Okay I know you guys have waited long for this chapter, sorry for that. Just I was in a slight dip with school, and vid making and writing. But to make it up to you a rather long chapter, at least for my doing.

Chapter 11 He Really Fell Down

The next morning, she went to the hospital. When she walked in, she saw Tony rubbing Ziva's hand. For all those years she had been wrong. He was not the skirt chaser she held him for. He probably did it to not have to talk about Emma or Ziva. Now she thought of it was kind of sad, had he each time she mocked him because of his dates, thought of Ziva?

"Hey" She whispered, when she walked to him, trying to be soft when she noticed that Ziva was still asleep.

Tony looked up from Ziva "Hey"

"Gibbs asked me to talk to you; I'll wait till Ziva wakes up"

"am mmke" Ziva mumbled

Tony laughed "Maybe you want to open those pretty eyes of yours." He told her

She did and he said "Good morning honey"

Ziva smiled and tried to hit him "I told you when you fell for me not to call me that, ever again."

Now it was Kate who laughed "What?" Tony asked

"It just sounds weird Tony. I know you as the skirt chaser, Big D, always a new girl each night, not as a guy who falls in love for a girl"

"Oh he really fell down" Ziva said as brightly as she could after just waking up.

Tony mumbled some sort of thanks to Ziva, Kate asked further "How fell down?"

"Well we ran into each other he tried to impress me and he slipped over a bit of ice"

When Tony thought about that moment he had a smile on his face that had been his best fall down ever.

Sadly Kate got quickly to the point. "Gibbs has asked me to talk to you, about Emma. He wants to know everything, mostly how she was…..taken" Kate did not dare to speak the words but Tony and Ziva understood.

Ziva began to speak "We had been in Israel, to visit my father. The director of Mossad"

As she said this Kate's eyes grew big for a moment, but only a moment. Let's just say that she had heard stories

"He was not able to visit us, he had been there on the day Emma was born, right after he had seen her he was forced back to Israel for his work but he was there. He wanted to see his granddaughter again so we went. We had been there for two weeks; we came back in my father's jet"

Tony took over "We just stepped out of the plane, I was showing Emma a photo of us trying to get her to talk, the airplane had left already when a dark van came, I do not remember how many came out but this one guy he walked to Ziva who holding Emma" Memories of that day flashed through both of their minds.

They told the whole thing until the point where the man was holding a gun to Ziva, Gibbs came just in to check on Tony and Ziva and to see how they were holding up "He said to me: "that you will suffer the way that I did" he said something about his daughter and" Ziva began to breathe harder and faster like she was hyperventilating, or rather her lungs were crying out for oxygen.

"Zeev, what's wrong?" Tony asked worried

"I cannot remember what he said Tony. What if what he said is the key to finding Emma" Ziva said her tone angry but it was all directed at herself.

"Shhhh, Zi, you will remember if it is important" Tony promised Ziva. He noticed that she was not herself now, probably still because of the antibiotic she had gotten yesterday, he thought.

Tony exchanged a look with Kate, who nodded and left. When she walked out the door she bumped into Gibbs.

"How is she holding up?" Gibbs asked

"Strong" Was all Kate said before she left.

Gibbs stayed for a very short while, he looked through the window, and he knew that Ziva could go home today, he was glad the secret was out. Now they could help, even if Tony and Ziva had almost given up hope.

When Kate arrived back she saw that no one was in the bullpen, so she took the elevator down to Abby's lab. And she was right there they both were, McGee and Abby. Both working on finding the daughter of their friends.

"Did you find anything?" Kate asked, which made McGee and Abby turn around.

Abby typed something and McGee started to speak.

"Not much, the only thing we found was, Emmanuella Dinozzo, born 7th of June. And then on the 16th of May she disappears from the face of the earth"

"Yep, that's what Ziva and Tony told me" Kate said "what else you got?"

"I told you it was the only thing we found, we are still trying to get the tapes from the airport, seeing if anything was missed by Mossad, but getting the tapes is the hard part. Mossad does not like sending things over mail they will be here next week, delivered by a Mossad officer."

Shortly after that McGee left, and Abby turned to Kate. Kate noticed that Abby was on the verge of tears.

"What is the matter Abby?" She asked

"You remember when we had our girl night?" Kate nodded "You also remember how Tony reacted, and how Ziva was after we asked her if she wanted to have children?" Kate began to see where this was going "What if we hurt them really bad then, what if"

"Abby, we did not know, and I know Ziva and Tony understand that" She hugged Abby since she saw it was needed.

At that same moment, the hospital discharged Ziva she was free to go home. Tony signed the papers and listened to the doctor, who told him that Ziva was not allowed to be alone for at least the first three days, and that she should be woken every two hours when she slept. Then he and Ziva walked to his car. When they arrived home, Tony put in a movie and sat down besides Ziva. When the movie was finished Ziva had fallen asleep, Tony decided to let her sleep while he cooked. When he was just finished Ziva had woken from the smell. They ate their meal in silence.

After dinner, Ziva had fallen asleep on the couch again; the medicine had just begun to work out. Tony saw it as a time to quickly take a shower and change. He had just put on some clean clothes when he heard Ziva screaming. As fast as he could he run downstairs, he saw she was still sleeping, well more likely having a nightmare so he woke her. When she opened her eyes, she shot up and grabbed hold of Tony. Tony tried to calm her, when she had calmed down she let go of Tony but the tears were not from her eyes.

"What's wrong Zi?" Tony asked.

"I remembered"

"Remembered what?"

"What I could not remember, what he told me, well not so much what he told me but why he took her. I remember the reason why he took Emma from us Tony."

What do you think?
