This is a bit shorter than the last chapters - but I don't want to give to much away yet ;) so sorry if this isn't as good as my last chapters. Its basically a chapter introducing a new character :D

Also, for those of you reading my other stories: they will hopefully be updated with in the next few weeks

Ziva answered the door and smiled at her old friend, "Shalom Danyyeil," she said kissing both his cheeks.

"Shalom," he replied.

"I have not seen you in so long," she gushed, "It would have to be just over six months, yes?"

"I think a little longer than that," he stated.

Ziva turned around after opening the door and allowing Danyyeil to come in, "Come, I will introduce you to my friends," she said.

Levi was in the kitchen, Tony was upstairs, McGee was still in the small room filled with weapons, and Gibbs was standing at the top of the staircase after he followed Ziva out of her room.

"That is Gibbs, my boss. Gibbs this is Danyyeil," she said. Gibbs nodded in acknowledgement and Danyyeil said hello.

She led him to the kitchen to meet her long lost brother that she never knew she had. Before going upstairs.

Tony walked back out of her room, Ziva looked at him in wonder, "What is your obsession with my room?" she asked.

"You were pretty cool as a kid," he stated. She raised an eyebrow at him, "Not that you're not cool now, in fact you're very cool. I just didn't know you back then," he said.

She shook her head and took a deep breath and changed the topic, "This is the one and only Tony DiNozzo. Tony, this is Danyyeil," she said.

Tony smiled and offered his hand to the man who shook it, "Well I'm not really the 'one and only', I'm named after my dad. I don't know you, why am I telling you that?" he said.

"Who is he?" Danyyeil asked in Hebrew.

"My partner," she said.

"Don't lie to me Ziva," he warned.

"I have been on one date with him, but you cannot say anything to anyone else," she warned back.

"You're the one with the eleven year old kid who mother left you and the kid," Tony said as realization hit him about the conversation at her mother's house a few nights before.

"The mother didn't so much leave me, as I told her too," Danyyeil defended.

"Why would you do that?" Tony asked.

"Her mother was young and had ambitions, I already had a stable career, as a reserve at the IDF and I have another job. But she was away from her family for ages at a time. She was young and the life she had started needed to be changed before she could take care of a baby," He explained, "So it wasn't as if she just left, it was mutual,"

"Oh. What was her job," he asked.

Danyyeil smiled, "Front lines in the IDF,"

"What year is Amali in?" Ziva asked.

"Six," Danyyeil replied.

"Is that your daughter's name?" Tony asked.

"Amali? Yeah," Danyyeil answered.

"What's it mean?"

"Hope," Ziva replied.

"That was quick Ziva," tony said in surprise.

"One; her mother and I were quite close, and two; I like knowing what names mean," she replied.

"What's your name mean?"

"Brilliance,"

"Figures," Tony replied.

"Does she like school?" Ziva asked.

"She doesn't not like it, but she would prefer to be doing other things. Remind you of someone?" he asked.

Ziva laughed, "Yeah, I was a little like that,"

"She's really good at it though, almost straight 'A's. She's studding English, and is extremely good, I talk to her in English at home, and she is getting really fluent. Science, maths, and a few other subjects," he told Ziva.

Before she could reply, McGee called her name, "Let's meet McGee," she said with a smile.

Tony watched as they left him, there was something in Ziva and Danyyiel's relationship that screamed 'more than friends'. He briefly wondered if that was what other people saw when they saw them together. He turned around and walked back into her room and continued to search for things that could reveal something from her mysterious past.

"What McGee?" she asked as she got to the door.

"I was wondering- who is that?" he asked.

"Danyyeil, Timothy McGee," she said.

"I was wondering what you want me to do with this,"

"I think just put everything in the boxes, I will through them later," she said.

Later, after the formalities, Ziva and Danyyeil were talking quietly on the lounge in Hebrew. No one team Gibbs knew what was being said.

Someone probably Levi had enough sense to get lunch before Tony started complaining. They sat around the small coffee table in the living room and they were talking about different things but the main topic seemed to be Danyyiel's daughter. Ziva seemed to be really interested in what he had to say.

"So, Ziva, you said you knew Amali's Mother well, how?" Tony asked.

"Yeah, friends from school. We used to see each other a fair bit, so when she disappeared off the face of the Earth I was slightly unsure of how to think. But I did help with the name and when Danyyeil needed help, I would help him,"

"Oh," he replied. There was something about them that was being kept quiet and it made tony curious.

"Where do you work Danyyeil?" Gibbs asked suddenly.

"I am a reserve for the IDF and I have a small stall at the market that I run part time with my brother," he said, "Which reminds me Ziva. I have been called back to the IDF they said they need my help on a mission,"

Gibbs and Tony both saw the brief flicker of fear cross Ziva's eyes, "When?" she asked.

"A few months. There's plenty of time," he said, "You don't have to worry about anything for a while,"

Danyyeil looked at his watch, "I am sorry, Ziva, but I have to pick Amali up from school in town, and get a few things before we go home," he said.

"Okay, I will walk you to the door," Ziva stood and he followed her to the door where they switched back to Hebrew and began talking about something before saying goodbye.

Okay, so I need some ideas for some fillers for the next few chapters to help me build up to the next 'big thing' - any and all ideas are welcome.
