Just as I promised.
I don't think I need a warning for this...
. Z is for Ziva .
He watched her carefully, with full interest as she brushed her palm over yellow buds that bounced upright at the gesture. Her hair cascaded in coffee waves, drawing him in and he would go to her. He would wrap his arms around her and sit with her as she cradles their young child in her arms but he knows she needs this moment, this moment to be with her father and their daughter.
His tongue falls across his lips, seeking moisture that has long since dispelled in the summer heat. Momentarily, his gaze diverts to the sunny cloudless sky above, watching as a few crows circle overhead before hazel irises fall back to his wife. He can hear her soft voice, breathing out into the thick air no doubt talking to their daughter or perhaps the deceased.
Tony bounces on the balls of his feet watching perfection as she runs a hand over the tombstone, before letting it fall back against the infant's cheek; his ears pick up one word, the only word he needs: "Saba". His Hebrew is far from perfect, but he knows the meaning and it is enough to curve the corners of his mouth.
The oak tree branches high above sway in the passing of a gentle breeze as he shifts his position to lean against it.
Both of his girls are perfect, far more wonderful than anything he could have ever imagined.
He doesn't know what he did to deserve them; but he is so thankful he did it because not only does he have a gorgeous daughter who will in no doubt supply him with many years of good memories, but he also has the woman who has stuck by his side through so many turns of events. A woman who will never leave him and will love him even when he can't remember their story. He has the woman who was always within reach but never within hold.
Two lives have finally became one and he could never express into words how thankful he is that his life became one with Ziva.
And that's a wrap! Hopefully that didn't disappoint you too much. I wasn't exactly sure of how I wanted it to end, so sorry if you thought it could have been better. This will NOT be my last Tiva story, so just stay tuned! I thank you all so much for reading this story, it means a lot that people actually enjoyed it even when I was pretty certain it was the worse thing known to man...Thank you once again and have a magnificent day!
