Thanks for the reviews! Also, thank- you carlacipo for your help with the "normal" three- year old thing, although it may be a little much. Anyway, here's your next chapter!

Ziva stepped into the bull pen to see McGee at his desk. The agent looked up from his computer to see Hanah run toward him.

"'Gee!" The child exclaimed. McGee smiled as he hugged the three- year- old.

"Hey Hanah! I see you got a cast." McGee said nodding to the child's arm. Hanah nodded before saying, "It's pink!"

"I can see that!" McGee replied as the child told him about how she broke her arm. Ziva stood by her desk watching McGee interact with Hanah. In all her years as a Mossad and NCIS agent, she never dreamed she would be married to her partner and that her co- workers would be her family. More than that, she could not believe she was a mother. The agent smiled knowing she would never trade her life for anything.

"Whatcha thinkin about Sweetcheeks?" Tony asked Ziva as he came up behind her.

"Life." Ziva replied simply. "We are very lucky Tony." She added.

"I know." Tony responded with full understanding. He kissed her head before going back to his desk. An hour later, Gibbs got a call and told everyone to gear up. The agents nodded before Ziva took Hanah down to the lab to stay with Abby.

"Why here?" Hanah asked Ziva when they got off the elevator.

"You are going to stay with Abby while we catch a bad guy." Ziva told her.

"I not go with you?" Hanah questioned.

"No tateleh. It is too dangerous." Ziva explained as they made it to the door of Abby's lab.

"I wanna go wit you." Hanah protested. Ziva bent down to look at Hanah.

"You cannot tateleh." Ziva told her.

"Zi what's taking so long? Gibbs—" Tony started once the elevator doors opened. He was cut off by a loud scream.

"No!" Hanah yelled. "I go with you!" Tony was taken aback by the child's sudden outburst, but Ziva sighed realizing the stubbornness in the David blood had not skipped a generation.

"Hanah, you need to stay with Aunt Abby." Ziva replied sternly.

"We need to do our work." Tony said hoping to reason with the child. When he saw the angry look on the child's face he looked at his wife. Ziva tried not to say anything knowing from her experience with Tali that reasoning with a three- year- old was never going to work.

"No!" Hanah said again stomping her foot for emphasis. Abby had come to the door by this time after hearing the child's scream. She was about to intervene when she got an opposed look from Ziva. Going back to her post, Abby watched the agents. The child was still screaming about not leaving.

"Srefah!" Ziva sternly said to the child. Hanah's glare softened a little knowing she was in trouble. Her temper however was still in full swing and could not be stopped. Suddenly, Ziva was pushed back a little by the child. Stunned, the agent got up.

"You deal with her." Ziva whispered icily in Tony's ear, tears coming to her eyes as she went toward the elevator. Tony stared at the child before bending down to look at her.

"That was not very nice." Tony told the girl who was now only crying. "You could have hurt her." Hanah did not respond. Tony looked at Abby.

"Now, you are going to go in time- out for that Hanah. Abby will watch you and when I call her, you can get out okay?" He told her. "Do you understand?" Hanah nodded before turning toward Abby who took her into the lab. Tony watched as Abby put Hanah in a corner. Sighing, the agent pushed the button for the elevator to find it quickly opening and revealing a crying Ziva. Tony looked at her.

"What?" Tony asked as he took Ziva in his arms.

"Why would she push me?" Ziva asked her husband as she tried to wipe away a tear.

"She was angry Zi." Tony told her.

"I know, but I do not think I would have ever done that to my mother. Why-" Ziva stopped, her brain unable to form a sentence. Tony squeezed her hand.

"If it helps, I gave her to time- out." Tony said. Ziva smirked.

"I would have been spanked if I had done that." Ziva replied.

"So would I." Tony responded. The agents stepped out of the elevator before Tony said, "I told Abby I'd call her when she could get out."

"Okay." Ziva said.

"Come on, we better go before Gibbs yells at us worse than he already will." Tony said as he led the way to their car.

Srefah- Stop
