Later that night when Ziva and I were in bed she lay with her head on my chest and asked
"What did your father tell you? When I walked in you two looked comfortable and happy to be together." I smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"I am happy he's here. We talked about all sorts of stuff" I told her, she turned toward me when I didn't offer anymore details and scowled
"Come on Tony we promised no more secrets" she said.
"He told me that he was in love again. That it felt like it did when he was married to mum and that he wanted her to meet me. I said it was alright for her to come with him to Sky's party tomorrow and so she is. I'm happy for him Ziva the way he was talking about her was like the way he used to talk with mum. He also told me that there getting married at the beginning of the New Year and he asked me to be his best man" I told her giving her the key points to our conversation.
"I'm glad you and your father are getting along Tony, I know that its taken you along time but hopefully it will be good for both of you having her in your life. I mean it will be good for Sky as well having her grandparents as well as our family" she said smiling, I knew there was a hidden message there that she wasn't saying, it was about her father and how he couldn't be here for such events in her life. I held her close and kissed her head again knowing how much it pained her to talk about things like this.
"I know Zi" I whispered as she settled down for sleep in my arms.
I woke the next morning early, I showered and walked out into the kitchen to find my father cooking breakfast
"Morning Junior" dad greeted
"Morning dad how are you this morning?" I asked as I made my way toward the coffee perculator to brew some coffee only to find that it had already been brewed, so I grabbed a mug from the cupboard and poured myself a drink.
"I'm fine son and you?" he asked
"Oh I'm great" I said with the cheesiest smile on my face. Ziva had woken up again with a nightmare or well thats what she claimed it was andhad seduced me again, not caring about my father being just down the hall or the fact that Sky was atill asleep. So I had woken to find Ziva still fast asleep, so I let her be, another two days and she would be coming to work with us.
"I know that look Anthony" dad said with a smirk on his face. I just laughed and he did too. When we finally stopped he looked toward me and asked
"Does Sky eat normal food, like bacon and eggs?" dad asked
"Yea she loves eggs and bacon" I told him just as I heard the cries of Sky waking up. I quickly smiled at my father placing my mug down and rushed toward Sky's bedroom, I didn't want her waking up Ziva.
"Happy birthday my little princess" I said smotthering her in kissess as he giggled. When I finally stopped she leant against my shoulder and said
"Daddy, wuv ew" she said, with a smile I kissed her head and said
"I love you too my baby" hugging her tightly as I made my way out to the kitchen, today I wanted her to eat in her pjs as I wasn't going to get her dressed into her present until we'd eaten. Ziva was now up and in her dressing gown, she was sat at the table hair a mess rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"She learnt how to say I love you" I said excitedly, Ziva jumped up and made her way toward the two of us, her smile could light a house it was so bright.
"I love you Sky" Ziva said as she held her arms out, Sky who had never shied away from Ziva before, did so this time and hid her face in my shoulder but said
"I wuv ew" to Ziva who leant over and kissed her on the head and then leant up and pressed a kiss to my lips.
"You guys are so adorable" dad praised, I smiled at him and he smiled back. I sat Sky down in her high chair and then put her breakfast in front of her, watching her like a hawk, especially after the previous days mess. When Sky was finished Ziva vanished to Sky's bedroom where we had stored Sky's birthday presents in the top of her cuboard. She returned a little while later with two lovely wrapped presents. She placed them down in front of Sky and as soon as they were down in front of her she ripped the paper and revealed the two presents. Ziva had brought her a new pair of shoes, stockings, a denim skirt and top. She gasped when she saw the dress that Abby had helped me find.
"Its adorable Tony how did you find this?" she asked
"Well Abby and had gone shopping earlier this week and we were walking around this baby shop when we spotted it at the same time and said it would look amazing on her" I told Ziva and dad who were both astounded that I'd managed to find something so adorable.
"Go put her in it Tony" Ziva said shooing us away, so I grabbed Sky and the dress as well as her new shoes and made our way back into her bedroom.
"She looks so cute" dad gushed as I carried Sky back into the room.
"I think she looks beautiful" I announced as I smiled down at my little girl. I felt Ziva's arms wrap around my waist and heard her say "She looks so pretty" Ziva said in awe. Sky looked at Ziva and smiled before looking up to me and asked
"Pwetty daddy?" I smiled and said
"Of course you are princess" I said and Ziva smiled at the nickname I had given her. Dad smiled at us and made his prescenes known again announcing that he was going out to get a present and to pick up Sally before returning later on that afternoon. So we sat down in the lounge and put a movie on, it was The Little Mermaid and both Ziva and Sky sat entrenched by the film. I loved watching the two of them together it made me so happy to see the two of them enjoying things together, it made me smile and remember what I was planning to do in less than a months time.
It wasn't long before the others turned up Ziva had set up food for us all to eat and there were a couple of lollies for Sky as it was a special occasion. McGee and Abby turned up first and Abby instantly ran towards Sky and picked her up for a hug, the whole time Tim and I looked on with happy smiles, Ziva made her way over and the three of them starte discussing different events that were going on in our lives, I had already told the two of them that my father was here and moving back to DC with his fiancee and McGee was shocke to know that I was actually excited to meet her. Gibbs, arrived with Breena, Palmer and Ducky about ten minutes later and they all entered and hugged us all, the table we had set aside for Sky's presents had turned into a massive mountain of presents. Dad and Sally were the last to arrive and when they did the room fell silent. I got up from my seat and put Sky in Ziva's lap before moving toward dad, I hugged him before turning to hug Sally, I smiled as she hugged me back
"Its such a pleasure to meet you Sally" I said with a smile
"Its so nice to meet you too Tony, your father has told me so much about you, Gibbs, McGee, Abby, Ziva, Palmer, Ducky, Breena and I heard about little Sky this morning and she certainly is such a little cutie" she said still holding onto my waist.
"I've heard so much about you already, I'm so happy dad has you" I told her dragging them further into the room.
