Alright, I know I said Friday or Saturday, this was longer than I expected, and I didn't plan to do some of the things I did in this chapter. So...Enjoy.
The Wedding (Part II)
"Because, I said I do the day I met you, and every time I say I love you. And I love you so much." Ziva finished and Tony let out a sigh of relief, "Don't do that to me sweet cheeks." He murmured before Ziva smiled. "Then, by the authority granted by the State of Virginia I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You can, you know. Do what you do best. You may kiss your bride."
Tony grinned before he cupped her cheeks and pulled her closer to him, and Tony pressed his lips to hers and passion filled Ziva's mouth as she wrapped my arms around his neck. All flower girls and ring bearers held up a giant sign that said in big black letters, 'APPLAUSE IS REQUIRED IF YOU WANT FOOD.' Everybody laughed at this causing Ziva to pull away and look at the sign, "Tony." She mumbled and he chuckled. "I'm still got some tricks up my sleeve." He murmured against her neck and she smirked at him before walking down the aisle, joined by him, this time.
"Alright, so party's down on the pier, we'll lead you down there." Jenny explained as he gestured down toward the water. All the guests agreed and followed them down, while Ziva lead Tony into her hotel room. She pushed him down on to the bed and gently climbed on top of him and kissed him. "We're married now." She murmured and he grasped her waist. "Yeah, but shouldn't we be like outside…with the guests? Or something." Tony asked and Ziva playfully glared down at him, "It is tradition that a newly wedded Jewish couple spend a few moments alone together."
"You're lying." Tony sneered. "I am not. I would never lie." Ziva said defensively. "Sweet cheeks, you always lie." Tony said and Ziva rolled her eyes. "What if I told you I was contracting?" Tony raised his eyebrows, "Then I would say you're lying." He said arrogantly.
She took his hand and placed it on her stomach, "What about now?" she asked. "I don't feel anything from the normal kick." He said simply. She slowly slid his hand onto her thigh, "How 'bout now?" she murmured seductively and he grinned, "Maybe." She lowered his hand lower, "Hmmm?" she purred. "Something's definitely wrong; let the doctor check you out." He said huskily before he pulled down to kiss him.
At the sound of the door handle turning Ziva pulled away, "Ssshhh." Somebody whispered and Ziva sat up. "Are you sure there's nobody here?" A familiar voice mumbled and Tony sat up also. "Yeah, Jenny and Abby lead all the people down to the reception and I'm pretty sure Tony and Ziva are-," "Right here." Ziva finished and Ashley along with Matt looked up at her. "What are you guys doing here? Matt asked cautiously. "Oh, about the same thing you two were about to do." Tony said, stretching before Ziva hit him. "It is tradition that a newly married Jewish couple, get a few minutes in private." Ziva said as she glared at Tony. "Oh." Ashley said quietly. "But," Ziva said as she stood up and smoothed her dress.
"That is over now." She said simply as Tony stood up. "I think there's some protection in drawer." Tony called over his shoulder before he pulled door closed.
Eli's POV
I watched my daughter laugh with this Anthony DiNozzo, person. As much as it sickened me, seeing her laugh and smile, made the pain go away. Sure, she could never work again for Mossad is she had a child, but that it is out of my hands. I saw Annika run over to her, she seemed to have better acceptance of her than her new step mother. And again that is out of my hands, I want my daughter back, but I may be afraid that it is too far gone.
Ziva's POV
"Whoa! Cool, can we go by the water?" Hunter said as he looked over at the dock. "I don't know, you may get your-." Hunter stopped me when he pulled off his pants to expose his blue and white board shorts, he tore off his jacket and shirt before he handed them to his mother and gave me a firm smirk, "How about now?" I rolled my eyes before Tony threw him off the pier.
"Oo! Oo! Let me go! Let me go!" All the children seemed to scream and I could do was laugh. "What are you laughing at sweet cheeks? That's gonna be us in a few years." Tony murmured in my ear and I pushed him lightly, "Three, if you lucky." I insisted and he shrugged, "I was think we should just double that."
I rolled my eyes before the patters of feet leaping off the dock heard and a number of splashes. "Oh goodness." I said as I saw the boys being overtaken by the girls.
"Come on!" Tony shouted and starting making fighting motions with his hands. "I'm not allowed to hit girls!" Hunter gasped before went back under. "That doesn't apply here!" he shouted and I glanced back and saw every parent raise their eyebrows. "Alright, Maybe a little." Tony admitted before the boys climbed out and took off on the grass.
"Well, running is better than beating!" Tony called after them. "Hush, this is gonna be fun." Carly whispered as they climbed up on the dock before heading in different directions. "They're toast aren't they?" Tony asked. "Oh yes," I hissed. "Burnt toast."
While the children were… 'playing' I suppose, we got to talk to most of the adults at the reception, and I made sure to avoid my father, as good as possible. "So, who do you think invited him?" I whispered as we accepted some of the gifts. "Well, let's think this through," Tony said matter-a-factly, "You have a mother do you not?" He asked and I nodded, "I do."
He pushed his nose and snorted, "And an Aunt, no?" I nodded again, "Well," He hiked up his pants. "I think those two are the main suspects, being they won't shut up!" He whispered the end fiercly and I tried to subside a laugh. "Tony, that is not nice to say about your in-laws." I said gently as I set one of the presents down and hugged him. "Promise no more teasing me about the baby's sex." I asked and he sighed, "But it's so much fun." He chuckled.
"No, it is not." A voice said from behind us, and Tony spun around to where my Aunt was standing behind us. "I-I was just kidding." Tony said nervously. "It is alright, this time." She smiled before she hugged us, "Now, let's eat."
Tony grinned and I patted his stomach, "No comment." I simply said before he let me go and rushed toward the food, "I invited your father." My Aunt said after a while and my mouth dropped a little, "Why?" I asked as the angry started boiling inside me. 'No Ziva, she's just a frail old women.' One voice said inside me. 'Forget old woman, your father is here! At your wedding! You have every right to pissed!' The other said, I suppose this was my conscience finally kicking in.
"I wanted him to see how happy you were without him, without Mossad." She explained and I sighed. 'Frail old women, what'd I tell you?' I wanted to pop those little things that supposedly appear on your shoulder. "I suppose you are…right." I muttered and she raised her eyebrows, "A stubborn child like you, Ziva? Admitting defeat?" She whistled, "I am shocked."
I rolled my eyes before I pulled her into a hug, a tight one, at least as tight as my stomach would let it go, "Ziva, do me one thing." She murmured. I looked at her, "Yes?" "Don't name the baby Netanya, I really don't like my name." I grinned, "I will make sure that name is not on the list." I said before Tony pulled me away and tried to have me eat something, when he glanced up and smiled deviously, "Well, well, well, look what the sex god drug in." I turned in my seat to see Matt and Ashley walking hand in hand, with guilty smiles on their faces, and their shoes in their hands.
"Do I even want to ask?" Tony asked and Matt shook his head. "Do I want to go back to my hotel room?" I asked and Ashley shook her head. Tony and I looked at each other before we looked at them, "Eww!" We screeched and they laughed.
"How do you think that got here?" I glanced down at my stomach before I pointed at Ashley, "Questo sara il sou essere pochi, giorni , se voi, due non lo staccaro."
Matt and Ashley fused their eyebrows together, "She said; That will be her in a few days if you two do not knock it off."
We all froze, I could tell he was standing behind us, and I didn't want to turn around, "He-Hey Dad." Matt said nervously and rubbed the back of his neck, Ashley looked at him and then back over our heads. "Ziva." I bit my lip before I turned around, He had his hands in his pockets and he had a look of...anything, and everything.
"Could I...speak to you?" He glanced between everybody, "Alone."
Tony stood up, "Didn't you hear the ceremony? We're one, so if you talk to her, you talk to me." My father gave a slight shrug before he beckoned us to follow, we walked side-by-side on the edges on the grass, letting the water graze our...more like my feet, not saying anything, drifting farther and farther from the wedding party, and I was afriad that he was planning to murder us or something.
"I suppose you would like an apology ." He said, breaking the silence. I turned to him, "I wanted an apology a long time ago." He looked at me, "So what do you want now?"
"I want…I want my childhood back! I want to be able to be a kid, and not be afraid of what you will think!" I hissed as tears burned my eyelids. "And you suppose a child will bring your youth back?" He asked and I shook my head, "My child. Is my child, I won't disapprove of everything he does," Tony coughed something and I looked over at him, "What?" I asked and his eyes glazed over. "You said, he, but it's not a he." I lightly shook my head before turning back to my father, "Tony, you said you would not do that anymore."
"I'm serious." I turned again to look at him and he smiled, "No James Bond?" I asked and nodded, "No James Bond, babe." I wrapped my arms around his neck, "I don't even know what that means!" I cried into his shirt and he grinned.
"Congradulations." Eli said gruffly and I turned to look at him, Tony's arms still draping across my neck. "Thank You." I said quietly. He smiled gently before reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear, I pulled back instantly, into Tony's embrace. "I am sure…Aimee will happy to have somebody like you." I could tell he was having problems saying it, he turned to walk away when I croaked, "All I want, is the father who use to make me laugh and smile. Is he there?"
He looked at me before saying, "I do not know, I wish he were here now though, he would love to see his daughter's wedding." I took a deep breath before detaching myself from Tony, "Zi." He whispered and I glanced back at him, "I have too." Was all I said before he understood, I hoped. "Why can't he be here?" I murmured. "Because, his job. It takes him, away…from his family."
"It does not always have to be like that." I told him and he looked at me. "You have Annika now, she is probably everything you could have wanted, maybe more. There is no going back for my childhood, but for hers, you can keep. You can change." He nodded before he ran his hand over my cheek, "But if I had one wish right now," I said tearfully, "It would be to have the father who loves me, more than anything in the world. I have a husband, a mother, an Aunt, and I'm pretty sure my baby girl is going to love me too. You're the only one missing." I murmured. "The only piece missing is you."
His hand dropped down to my shoulder and for a brief second I thought he was going to shake me, but he hugged me, he hugged me. It felt so different, since he hadn't don't it in a long time, but I felt better with the fact that his arms were around me once more.
Nobody's POV
"Ziva! Tony! Ziva!" All the children started scream as they ran toward them with Hunter lagging behind. Ziva looked away from her father to look at the children, "What?" she asked them and bent down. "Hunter taught us a song!" Carly said eagarly and Hunter shook his head, "No I didn't!" He defended. "What is it?" Ziva asked. "Hold on, I wanna get this on camera." Tony said before he pulled his camera phone and it started, "Ashley and Matt sitting in a tree; K-I-S-S-I-N-G; First comes the unprotected sex baby! Then comes the spontaneous pregnancy! Maybe there is marriage; hopefully they buy a baby carriage." They ended it with a light kick of the grass and a sad shrug.
Ziva and Tony busted out laughing and Eli stood there speechless, looking up at her father, beaming, "Did you like it Daddy?" she asked hopefully. "You taught them this?" Tony asked Hunter. "No...Well maybe I made up some of the words."
"Well, that explains a lot, they don't rhyme." Tony joked and Hunter shrugged, "Is my name Seuss?"
"Come on; let's go show Ashley and Matt!" Alexa said and beckoned them to follow her, which they did with Hunter trying to stop them again. "She defiantly not me." Ziva said and Eli chuckled. "Definitely. But let us get back to your wedding." He suggested and Ziva nodded as Tony wrapped his arm tighter around her, "So where did this new manly man appear?" Ziva whispered in Tony's ear.
"Do you want sensitive or manly? Make up your mind." Tony said and Ziva laughed. "I am having your baby, your baby girl." She emphasized with a huge grin. "You really wanted a girl didn't you?" Ziva nodded, "And what if it were a boy?" He asked. Ziva patted his cheek, "Let's not think about it." She said before running over to Jenny and Abby to tell them the news.
Tony smiled as he heard the women's squeals and Eli glanced at him, "My daughter loves you very much, I can see it in her eyes, and by the way she acts. She has not smiled this much since Tali's death." "I glad to make her smile." Tony said.
"I am truly sorry for what happened months back, it was foolishly, I thought I was doing the best for my daughter, when I was only destroying what she loved." Tony looked at the ground, "How would you feel today if that baby had died, inside her?" He let slip. "I would not want to live myself, if I had killed her child. I could not; I would have to for Annika's sake, but if there were no her…" Tony sighed.
"Apology…pending." He finally said and He smiled gently at him. "Pending?" Tony held out his hand, "Putting stuff like this is easier to put pass than other things." Eli nodded before grasping Tony's hand and shook it gently.
"Excuse me, but I kinda wanna go dance with my wife." Tony said, excusing himself. "May I have this dance?" Tony asked once he made his way over to Ziva, "Yes, you may." Ziva accepted as he led her toward the center.
Please Don't Go
'Let's run away, from these lies." Tony whispered against her ear as they lightly swayed and moved on the beat. 'Back to yesterday, safe tonight.' Ziva grinned as she looked up at him. 'I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock. I'm trying to keep you in my head, but if not. We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked. Yeah, you got me begging, begging Baby please don't go!' He spun her as he completed the last line and she let out a small giggle, "Ziva David? Giggling?" He let out a gasp, "I'm shocked."
"She did not." Ziva said and Tony glanced around. "Uh, we're the only ones here, on this dance…thing."
"I am not Ziva David anymore; I'm Mrs. Ziva Elaina David-DiNozzo." Tony chuckled, "Course you are." "Oh, my god!" Ziva and Tony heard Matthew shout, "Who taught them that song?"
Ziva tried to hide her laughter in Tony's chest, "Hey!' Tony called over to him. "We're family now. That's we do; get on each other's nerves."
Alright, so now they're officially married, and we now know IT'S A GIRL! Now, I didn't plan on telling you then and there but it's kind of a spur of the moment thing. And did you see, how I encorporated my name in there? That was a spur too, now I'm not gonna do a Honeymoon one because...1.)I don't know if I can write that many chapter, 2.) ...
Also, I have decided their will be a sequel. I'll work on it, hopefully soon.
But I need ideas for this story! Give me something, I have some that I'm working on. Let's just hope I can finish them in time.
Can I get the meter to 185? Please?
Tell me what you think,
