Tim wake up with Ziva still sleeping in his arm, her right arm across his waist and her right leg cross his, it's like she's hugging him like a big teddy bear, revealing a little of her underwear, he look down to see Ziva's sleeping face, can't help but think how beautiful she is, brushing a few stranded hair in her face, for the first time since he knew her, she really look like a woman in his eyes.
Not wanting to wake her up, he try to slowly take off her hands and then her legs from him, big mistake, losing her source of warm make her hug him even tighter, now her arms are circling his waist and both her legs circling his, now he's officially become Ziva's big bolster, to make thing worse, on that process, she reveals more thighs, for the sake of his sanity, he think it's better if he wake her up before she feel the change under his pants and kill him for that.
"Ziva, it's time to wake now, it's time for work" Tim whispering to her ear
She sleepily says "few more minutes" and continue sleeping, she usually wake up early, taking her morning run, but seems like the jet lag effect her more than she expected.
He patted softly at her cheek "Ziva, I'll be late for work if you don't wake up now"
"Let me sleep a little bit more" Ziva mumbling
"I can't get up if you don't" Tim says, Ziva open her eyes lazily, obviously still affected by the jet lag, and see their position, she blush so hard, Tim swear he can see steam coming up from her ears, she gets up so fast she lost her balance, Tim catch her before she fell down, holding her close to him and help her get back to her stand, she looks up to say thank you to Tim, and for a moment, their eyes locked, tehn suddenly, Tim kissed her, doesn't need more invitation, she kissed him back.
Catching their breath, they break their kisses. "Wow" Tim says, blushing, "Wow" Ziva smile, diverting her eyes to the floor, too shy to look at him.
"I better get ready to work" Tim says and rush to the bathroom, Ziva stand there for a moment when Tim suddenly get back and give her a peck on her cheek, before rushes back to the bathroom.
Ziva stands there stunned, absorbing what's happened before she then jumping up and down and screaming a silent "Yes..yes..yes..".
He step to his living room after he get dressed and ready for work, welcomed by the delicious smell of bacon, scrambled egg and a fresh brewed coffee, he head to the kitchen and found Ziva there, serving two plates of bacon with scrambled egg and two cups of coffee in the table. "Here, get some breakfast first" she says
"I could get used to this, what a man have to do to have this everyday?" Tim says teasingly
"You can make me your wife" Ziva tease back. Tim almost choked on his food
"Are you proposing to me Ziva?" He eyed her playfully, she just smile and continue her breakfast. This is a good start for the day. Tim's POV while walking to his car, driving to Navy Yard, just hope the following will also going as smooth as this morning.
Stepped out from the elevator, "Good morning guys" He greet Tony and Bishop that already seated in their desk, hearing Tim's voice, Tony jump out and suddenly hug Tim
"Probie, are you alright? You make us worried sick about you, even Abby not herself yesterday, throwing tantrum to everyone that cross her hair"
"I'm OK Tony, thanks for worried about me" Tim pat Tony's back and pull off his hug and head to his own desk, he's already 15 minutes late, thanks to the breakfast and this morning distraction. He look up to Gibbs desk, find it empty and ask Tony "Where's Gibbs?"
"Director office, been there for quite some time now" Tony inform Tim.
Sliding his seat to Tim's Tony ask him "Do you by any chance know about the DNA result of our Lt. Danny Walden? Abby's being so secretive about that, any question about that will sent her to rampage, so I've been avoid asking her about that, but Gibbs told Dr Walden that his DNA got 2 match and one of them is one of his team member, that can only be you and the other one maybe the Admiral, but if it's only that, why Abby's being so secretive about it? not that we don't guess that already, just look at the victim and our best guess is he is somehow related to you, you two are too much a like " Tony ask Tim.
Tim don't know how to answer that, so he just says "I think we need to wait for Gibbs about that" Tim booting up his computer, determined to find anything to distract Tony from that conversation. That is when the phone in Gibbs desk ring, being the one closer to the desk, Tim pick the phone up "Agent Gibbs desk" he answer the call, the answer make him turn the phone from his ear
"Timmy..OMG, it's you, are you OK? is that really you" that absolutely is Abb, even Tony can hear her scream from his desk, he shot Tim a smirk.
"Yes Abbs, it's me, I'm OK and it's really me, what's up, Gibbs not in his desk, he's up in Director office" He replied after her screaming stop.
"Well, tell him to go down here, I have something about the SOB that hit your brother, I've been waiting for him for some time now but seems like my telepathy not reach him today" she's ranting as usual.
"Ok, I'll get him" then he close the phone.
"Abby?" Tony asks. Tim just nod
"How's she?" he ask again, "Sounds as normal as Abby?" Tim replied Tony
"That's because she have heard your voice, good, so we can draw our breath now" Tony sighs,
"Abby got something about the person who hit the victim, you better inform Gibbs about that" Tim told Tony,
"Why me? you're the one who pick the phone, you told him" Tony sit there and fold his arms.
"But you are the Senior Agent, so, you told him" Tim leaning to Gibbs desk, folding his arms too.
Bishop just look at them, smiling and shake her head, they really look like brothers pushing responsibility to each other, she's still getting use to the team antics, and she sure got the most unique team in the building.
"I'll go" she said at last. Both men just smiling at her then say almost in chorus, "Good job Probie". She walking up to the Director office while rolling her eyes.
Gibbs is briefing Vance about Abby's DNA search of their last victims that hit 2 matches, Tim's and his and telling him about how he found out about his relationship with Tim, little briefing about how he and Tim's mother met each other, skipping most of things that he think people don't need to know, and he assure him that whatever his relationship with Tim, that won't effecting their works, and yes, Tim already knew about this.
After long discussion, Vance agreed to let them continue this case and let Tim stay in Gibbs team. Gibbs just head to the door when Bishop came in, announcing that Abby got something important about the case and demand him to his lab right now. He walk out, take a quick glance downstairs to check if Tim had arrived yet, feel relieved when he found him there, working diligently in his desk, before he head down to Abby's lab.
Abby pulled up fingerprints from the victims collar, seems like after run him over, the culprit come back and pull him up by grabbing his collar, and smashed his head to the asphalt again, and there's a stands of fiber, likely from a shoelace in his shirt, this might means that the culprit kick him afterward, so, this is definitely a murder, not just a hit and run, seems like the lieutenant really pissed off somebody, and the fingerprints hit a match of an ex-criminal, Gary Dailey, released two month ago, from robbery and murder. The lieutenant pick up a really wrong guy to pissed up.
Tony and Bishop take the culprit picture to the bar again, asking the bar owner if he recognized him, and he says yes, the lieutenant and that man bump to each other and resulting in poured the man's drink off his shirt and the lieutenant refuse to apologize to him, they argue for some times there, not wanting any incidents the owner decide to throw the man off the bar when he seems to getting harsh, while the lieutenant still keep his calm, after that the man seems left and not seeing him again after that. When they ask him why he not saying anything about this accident before, he just says that he don't see that relevant, the man had left the bar for an hour before the lieutenant left.
Having enough evidence to get the warrant, they raid the culprit house, and in his car parked beside his house, they found a trace of Lt. Danny Walden's blood in the car's bumper, and after 15 minutes with Gibbs, the culprit give his full confession. Saying he never seen anyone as arrogant as the victim, acting almighty with his Navy uniform and all, and he really humiliated him by making him being thrown out that bar, and he should pay for that, so wait till he come out of the bar, hit him with his car, after seeing no one witness the hit, he come back to checking on him, saw that he's not dead yet, he grab his collar and saying his curse to him, the Lieutenant still manage to curse back, so in anger, he smash him to the asphalt few more times and kicked him, claimed that he deserve that.
Confession time:
After wrapping up the murder case, Gibbs ask his whole team to go down to Autopsy and wait for him there after office hour.
When Tony, Tim and Bishop step in the autopsy room, Ducky, Palmer and Abby already there, but Gibbs not there yet.
As the most curious one, Tony asks if they have any idea why Gibbs ask them to wait for him here? Ducky says nothing, Tony shift his eyes to Abby, Abby just look at the floor and says "I think we need to wait for Gibbs to explain"
"Explain about what Abbs?" Tony become curiouser by her answer, obviously Abby know something about this. Abby just make a zipped lips code, stating she won't say anything anymore, that's when Gibbs step in the autopsy room.
Seeing all of his team and friends already there, Gibbs take a deep breath, then begin his announcement.
"I called you all here because I, we have something to tell you guys" Gibbs motioned to Tim, asking him to come closer to him, Tony, Bishop and Palmer look at Tim curiously for that, while Ducky and Abby just remain calm.
Gibbs already consult with Ducky about this earlier, even before he head up to tell Vance, it's Ducky that suggest him to use his autopsy room for this event.
Gibbs put his hand on Tim's shoulder, Tim just look down to the floor, Gibbs squeeze his shoulder a little before continue his announcement "Timothy is my son"
The whole room became quiet, that's expected as the impact of the news, breaking the silence, Gibbs continue his story. "As most of you have known, Lt. Danny Walden's DNA hit 2 match in out database, that was Tim's and mine, and to ease your curiosity, specially yours Tony, I knew Tim's mother long before I married Shannon, and before anyone even guess, it was not just one night stand thing, I was really loved her, it was a very difficult circumstances that tear us apart, and take her away from me without I even know that she was pregnant by that time, and I just found out about this about a month ago, but I will assure you all, that this would not change anything in our working relationship, We'll keep things strictly professional on works, and I have make that sure with Vance this morning too"
The room reminds silent, then Abby be the one who break the spell. "Congratulation" then she run to hug Gibbs
Gibbs whispering "Thank you Abbs" to her ears, she know what's that thanks for and she just smile, then she turn to hug Tim and whispering "Thank you for giving Gibbs chance Timmy"
"Thank you Abbs" he replied when he return her hug, then the other copied her acts and they too one by one congratulate them.
Tim offer to drive Gibbs home that night because his car still in evidence garage, it got some bullet holes and broken glass from the earlier ambush at Gary's house. They drive in silence till they reach Gibbs house.
Before Gibbs step out of the car, Tim says "Thank you for being there for me Gibbs, I really appreciate that".
Gibbs smile and says "That's what's a father do, son" then he step out, waving to Tim and head back to his house.
Hearing Gibbs say that, something in Tim's heart warmed up, he step out from his car, and shout toward Gibbs. "I'll pick you up tomorrow, Dad".
Gibbs turn back and see Tim standing there, smiling at him, something in his heart warm up, he called him dad, so he smile back to to Tim and says, "6.30 sharp son, or else we'll be late for work" Tim get back to his car, blow his car horn and wave to him, leaving him there still with smile in his face, knowing he had won his son's heart.
