Please enjoy reading! :)

"Ziva, really, we don't have to do this, if you don't want to", Tony said as they rounded the corner to the restaurant that night. "Tony, seriously, I love your dad!", she declared, chuckling.

He stopped and looked at her. "What?", she asked, confused by his actions. "I hope you love someone else more", he murmured in a low voice, but with a hint of a smile in it.

She took a step closer to him, their chests touching. "Well, I do not know. I really love your dad", she teased. He growled: "Ziva." "Yes?", she asked innocently. Without another word he crushed his lips to hers, earning a soft gasp from her.

She melted into his arms, her body pressing against his and her arms going around his neck. He pulled her closer until she was standing on her tiptoes, almost lifted off the ground.

Suddenly someone cleared his throat next to them and they jumped apart. "Dad!", Tony exclaimed. "Sorry, Junior. I should have probably left you at it", his dad said, winking. Ziva chuckled.

"It is fine", she stated. She slipped her hand into Tony's and interlocked their fingers. "So, you two lovebirds ready to go?", Senior asked. They both nodded and made their way to the restaurant.

"So, a week, huh?", Senior asked sometime after the main course was through. They nodded. "That's good for you! Especially now that you don't have your jobs anymore..it's good to have something or rather someone to hold onto", Senior stated.

"And your son is the best someone I could have asked for", Ziva said, smiling lovingly at Tony. Senior smiled brightly. "It's good to have you in the family, Ziva", he said. Tony's eyes widened.

"Dad, we're not..", he started but his dad cut him off: "I am well aware that you're not married yet, son. I was merely saying that I like having Ziva around." Ziva smiled warmly at him.

"Thank you. That means a lot", she said. And she meant it. With all her heart. It felt incredibly good to hear him say that. Family. She'd lost her father earlier this year, the last person left of her family.

And when Gibbs had been arrested and they'd resigned..well she'd lost her other family as well. Gibbs had always been like a father to her. And now it was just weird to have nobody there.

She felt kind of empty even. But hearing Senior say that..it made her feel so loved, so welcome. It was amazing. She felt Tony squeeze her hand under the table and smiled up at him. Yeah, she was definitely happy to be a part of this family.

And honestly..she couldn't wait for the day she'd official become a DiNozzo. "Do you live together already?", Senior asked. Tony grinned. "Just in the process of unpacking her things", he announced happily and Ziva squeezed his hand.

A big grin spread across Senior's face. "That sounds nice", he stated. They both smiled. After a moment of silence Senior spoke up again: "So, what are you gonna do in the future? I mean about your unemployment?"

Tony sighed. "Not sure, yet. We'll see", he said simply. There wasn't much to say after all. Senior just nodded. He knew better than to push the subject. It was obvious that neither his son nor Ziva wanted to talk about it. So, he simply started to make some small talk, talk about lighter subjects.

After dinner they went to Tony's place. Senior had it all planned out. He'd insisted to take a cab from his son's place. When they arrived, Senior turned to Ziva. "Ziva, dear, would you mind if I went for a little walk with my son?", he asked.

She shook her head. "Of course not. Take your time!", she agreed. She squeezed Tony's hand and then leaned up to kiss his lips softly. "I will be right here waiting", she whispered against his lips and she smiled softly.

He waved as he walked down the corridor with his dad. He wondered what this was gonna be about. Ziva looked after them, smiling softly. She really hoped Tony would be able to fix things with his dad.

She closed the door behind her and couldn't quite help the grin that broke out on her face. God, it felt good to do this. It was such a domestic thing, really. And in all honesty, she loved it.
