Chapter 11- We're getting married.

Jen, Gibbs, McGee and Abby sat waiting for Tony, Ziva and Charlie to arrive. They sat talking about that they did last night to bring in the bells. When Tony, Ziva and Charlie arrived, Tony ordered two hot chocolates – one with squishy cream and marshmallows the other with just squishy cream- and a coffee for himself.

"Why are we here Tony? McGee asked when they arrived at the table.

"Ziva and I have something to tell youse." Tony said.

"We are getting married." Ziva told them. Abby screamed with joy causing everyone in the café to look at them.

Abby gave Ziva and Tony a hug as did everyone else but they didn't try to crush their bones.

"Thank you." Ziva whispered to Gibbs as they hugged.

"What for?" Gibbs had an idea what she was thanking him for.

"For telling Tony you gave him permission to marry me."

"No problem." They separated and took the seats at the table.

"Tony, why are you smirking at me? It's creepy." McGee told him.

"Apparently I'm not the only one who breaks the rules." McGee's eyes widen and Tony nodded to Charlie who was talking to Gibbs.

"Who's breaking the rules?" Abby asked and everyone else listened to the conversation.

"You." Tony blankly put it.

"No I'm not!" Abby didn't sound convincing when she said it.

"What rules?" Charlie asked blowing on her hot chocolate.

"I have a set of rules." Gibbs informed her, "What rule is Abby breaking?"

"12." Ziva said.

"What's rule #12." Charlie was getting a bit confused.

"Never date someone you work with." Tony wasn't sure if she would understand if he had said co-worker.

"McGee!" Gibbs barked.

"But you work with Ziva so doesn't that mean you broke rule #12. Does dating mean kissing?"

"Why do you ask Charlie?" Jen asked her.

"I saw you and Uncle Gibbs kissing on Christmas day and you weren't standing under mistletoe." Charlie smiled at her. Jen turned bright red.

"Does this mean everyone at this table part for Charlie had broken rule #12." Ziva asked trying not to laugh at Jen.

"I bet Jimmy and Ducky are going to be wishing they were here." Tony said causing everyone to laugh except Charlie who was still a bit lost.

"Ducky already knows." Charlie said.

"Knows what?" Tony asked.

"I told him I saw Aunt Abby and Uncle Timmy kissing in the lab and again when I saw Auntie Jen and Uncle Gibbs kissing on Christmas day."

"Are you sure you don't want to an agent Charlie?" Jen asked remembering what she said the last time Jen told her she would be a good agent.

"No, I still want to be a gambler. Grandpa saying I'm quite good at reading people and that's why I can tell what Daddy is lying."

"Where did you learn to read people?" Gibbs asked her.

"Grandpa taught me when he was teaching me how….." Charlie stopped mid-sentence realising she had said too much.

"It's alright Charlie, I know."

"You know what DiNozzo." Gibbs asked.

"That Charlie knows who to play poker and various other carded games after there was a blackout in New York and she and Callum got stuck in traffic so played cards to pass the time." Tony had eye contact with Charlie the whole it. "I also know that Charlie is quite good going by the box of sweets she keeps under her bed."

"You know how to play poker." Abby sounded a little shocked.

Charlie bit her lip not knowing if she should answer, "Yeah but I've never played for money."

***NCIS***

"Daddy, can I ask you something?" Charlie asked as he tucked her in.

"Of course you can."

"Do you think Ziva would like to be my new mommy?" She looked down at her hand and played with thumbs.

"I'm sure Ziva would be more than happy to be your mom. Would you like me to ask her?" Charlie nodded, "Charlie what made ask?"

"There's a girl in my class Lucy. She has two moms and two dads. I don't really have a mommy and I would really like one and I love Ziva like my mommy." Charlie explained softly.

"Ok. Good night, love you Princess" He kissed her on the forehead before leaving the room.

"Love you, Daddy."

He was Ziva standing beside the door but out of sight so Charlie couldn't see she was listening. Tony saw tears forming in her eyes. Tony took her hand and led her through to their bedroom since they had more privacy in there than in the living room. He sat her on the bed as he knelt in front of her. He brushed away her tears.

"Did you hear what Charlie said?" She nodded, "Then why are you crying."

"I love Charlie as if she was mine. I have thought about what it would be like if Charlie started calling me mom but then I think about Lauren. I don't want Charlie to forget her since she is her birth mom and I wouldn't feel right if she forgot Lauren."

"She won't forget Lauren because she a box of old photos and I know Callum and Ann talks about Lauren to Charlie. So she won't forget her. Charlie could ways call you ima since I have no doubt that's what the twins will call you."

"I would like that." Ziva smiled and whipped away her tears.

"Why don't you go tell her then? She won't be a sleep yet."

Ziva got up and went through to Charlie's room. When she sat in the bed Charlie opened her eyes to see who it was since Pippa was already lying at the bottom of the bed. Charlie smiled at her.

"Charlie I would happy to be your mom. I was thinking you could call me ima if you want, so you and the twins can call me the same name." Ziva explained.

"I would like that very much." Charlie hugged her new mom.

Ziva smiled at her as tears of joy trickled down her cheeks, "Good night, love you Tateleh."

"Good night, I love you Ima." Ziva kissed her in the top of her head then left the room.
