Hello everyone. This is the final chapter. If you do not appreciate Tiva then well deal with it or do not figure out who she chooses because it is not as it seems or maybe it is . Just read the chapter.

Spoilers: Same

Everyone was dead silent waiting for Ziva's answer. She looked around the room at all of them. "I choose," she repeated, "NCIS."

"What!" Gibbs and Eli said together. Abby's eye grew big and suddenly Ziva could not look at them. She turned and fled to the room. Once she was out in the hall she looked for somewhere to go and noticed the elevator at the end of the hall.

Back inside the room Tony turned on Gibbs and Abby. "What was that for?" He demanded.

"I was just surprised that she choose NCIS." Abby said meekly.

Tony glared at them again then turned and followed Ziva out of the room. He looked around the empty hall just in time to catch sight of her disappearing into the elevator. "Ziva wait," he called desperately. He managed to catch up to her and slip into the elevator just before the doors closed. "What's up?"

She did not answer him. Her eyes were sparkling with tears and for once she was not hiding her emotions. He walked forward and wrapped his arms around her. Ziva laid her head against his chest and her tears began to fall. Tony gently stroked her hair until she stopped crying. "Sorry," she said as she pulled away and wiped her face on the back of her hand.

"For what?" Tony asked a little confused

"For falling apart." She sat down on the elevator floor.

"Ziva, you are only human. If someone has to be sorry it is you father for making you make that choice." He sat down next to her.

"I knew that someday I was going to have to make that choice, but I always thought it would be easy. I was born Mossad and I love Israel."

"Then why did you choose NCIS?"

"Because I love the people. Israel is my homeland nothing will ever change that, but my family is in DC. I lost all ties to people in Israel when Ari went to Hamas. NCIS is my family now. Abby and McGee are like siblings. Ducky is like a grandfather. Gibbs is the father I never had. Jenny was like the mother I never knew." Tears started to form in Ziva's eyes again but she wiped them away. "Why am I falling apart, Tony?"

"Because you were asked to choose between two places that you loved and you know that whatever you choose there is no going back. It does not help that you have just been held hostage by your brother and NCIS saved you while your father left you to die."

"Wow way to sum the last forty-eight hours in two sentences." They sat in silence for a while then Ziva spoke again. "Why did you save me?"

"What?" Tony said surprised, "How can you ask that?"

"How can you not ask yourself that? I was completely horrible to you after Michael died. I probably deserved to die."

"Ziva," he looked at her a little worried. "It was only natural I killed someone you cared about." There was a pause. "Did you love him?"

"Did you love Jeanne?"

"I had grown close to her and I cared about her deeply but I was not in love with her."

"It was the same with Michael. I could not love him because I was in love with someone else."

"Who?" Tony asked his heart sinking.

"You." He looked at her and smiled. He leaned over and kissed her.

"You ready to go back in there?" He asked when they broke apart. She nodded and they flipped the emergency switch back on. As they walked down the hall Tony slipped his arm around her waist. They reached the door to the director's office, and, with a glance at Tony, Ziva pushed the door open.

Everyone looked up with the pair entered. Abby grinned, "pay up McGee." McGee groaned and handed her a twenty-dollar bill. Gibbs and Ducky both looked up at them with a small smile. Eli David went white with rage.

"Get your hand of my daughter."

"No," Tony said with a glance at Ziva who nodded at him.

"I forbid-" He began, but Ziva cut him off

"I don't really think that anyone in this room cares about what you forbid. We are our own people and make our own choices."

"You are my agent and my daughter."

"I thought I made it quiet clear that I was no longer your agent and I am not entirely sure I ever was your daughter." Eli opened his mouth to speak but Ziva cut him off again. "There is nothing you can say to make me stay. You made your choice years ago, and no amount of words can change thirty years of actions."

"You can't walk away from Mossad."

"You can't stop me." Her voice was just as calm as his.

"Actually I can order you terminated."

"Fine, shoot me." She kept her face blank as her father lift a gun from his desk, but she felt Tony tense beside her. The gun was pointed straight at her face.

"Eli, sometimes it takes more love to let someone go then to hold them back." Gibbs said. Eli nodded and put the gun back on the desk.

"Shalom, Ziva," He said quietly.

"Shalom, Papa," She said then she turned and left the room with the rest of the team followed.

"He could have shot you." Tony said as he replaced his arm around Ziva's waist.

"He would not have." Ziva said simply, "No matter how much he hated what I had done he could not shoot me." Tony looked confused.

"When you are a father you will understand." Gibbs said looking at Ziva. "You know that what I said to him was true Ziva."

"Yea, boss. I know." She said. "I have always known that he loved me in his own way." She paused then added. "Thank you all for everything."

"There was no way we were leaving you out there. You are family."

"You know that reminds me of a quote." Everybody looked at Tony who continued, "Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten."

So it is over. Sniff. I could have done this whole thing where Director David shoot Tony, or Ziva, or himself but I did not. I like it just the way it is. This is my first completed multi-chapter fic so even if you have not reviewed any other chapter. Review this one. Please.
