When the women got back from shopping it was about 4:00 in the afternoon. Ziva, Abby, and Shannon carried their bags into their rooms with Kelly at their heels. She and Shannon went into Gibbs' room and she put the bags on the floor while Kelly ran straight into her father's arms.
"Hey princess" Gibbs greeted his daughter hugging her warmly. "Did you have fun shopping?" Shannon walked over and sat on the bad next to Gibbs.
"Yeah! Wanna see?" She asked her father as she broke free of his grasp and ran across the room to get her stuff. "Look!"
Gibbs wrapped his arm around Shannon's shoulders as they watched Kelly show Gibbs what they bought. She had picked out one blue and one pink dress, a few skirts, a few tank tops and shirts, a pair of sandals, and a pair of jeans. Finally she pulled out a pink suitcase with little white skulls dotted all over it. "This is for the airplane! Abby helped me get it!"
Gibbs laughed as he pulled Kelly onto his lap. "You like Abby huh?"
She nodded. "I do. I like Aunt Ziva and Uncle Tony and McGee too." He saw her smile fade and a frown begin to take its place.
"What's the matter Kelly?" Shannon asked her, stroking her cheek softly.
She twirled her long brown hair in her hands before she looked up at Gibbs.
"When we go home, are they gonna leave?"
He smiled and shook his head. "No baby. See, these people are my team at work. That means I see them every single day, so now we are really good friends. They're like another part of our family, okay? They love you, they're not going anywhere."
She smiled. "I love them too." She snuggled into her Dad's chest, and the three of them simply sat there together, on the bed, savoring the memory. They were finally together again.
Abby walked into her and McGee's room and put her two bags down before plopping onto the bed where McGee lay, smiling at her. She wrapped her arm around his chest and he pulled her closer to him.
"So what'd you buy?"
"Just some more clothes. And a dress."
"A dress?"
She nodded against his chest. "Yup. I figured sooner or later I'd be going out somewhere, so we all got a dress in advance. Even Kelly."
He smiled. They just lay there for a few moments before McGee spoke up. "You know, you're really good with Kelly."
"Thanks."
McGee wasn't sure how to ask Abby this, but he knew he wanted to. So he just went for it before he could chicken out. "Watching you with her...what would you think about having kids of our own someday?"
Abby turned her head to look at him directly and smiled. "I want to. Not now, really, but…in the future."
"What do you think they'd be like?"
"They'd be super smart. Between the both of us, like, Einstein level genius."
McGee laughed. "Probably."
"And maybe they'd have my dark hair, with your nose."
"My nose?"
Abby giggled. "Yeah. It's cute. And your height. If they're boys."
He kissed Abby on the forehead. "Maybe Abs, maybe."
Ziva snuck into their room without making a sound. Slowly she put her single bag down and crept up behind Tony, who was staring out a window with his back to her. When she reached him she wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed his neck.
"And hello to you too." Tony smiled and turned to face her. "How was shopping?"
Ziva smiled and kissed him lovingly. "Mhm, it was alright. I missed you though."
He grinned and puller her closer to him. "Did you now?" He asked while he kissed down her throat to her collarbone, eliciting a small moan from her.
"Yeah."
He smirked. "So what'd you buy?" He looked at her and saw her smirk in response.
"Oh, something." She vaguely answered him as she leaned forward to kiss down his neck.
He groaned. "What something?"
She ran her hands down to the hem and traced her hand back up under his shirt. "Something you will like."
"Really?"
She nodded as she leaned forward to kiss him again. When they broke apart she smirked at him and walked over to the bag, pulling out a single box. "See for yourself."
He took the box from her and sat down on the bed with her standing in front him, watching his reaction. He opened the box and pulled out first some lacy black lingerie. She saw him grin. "There is more."
He set that aside and pulled out a black dress. It had thin shoulder straps and showed just the right amount of cleavage, he could tell. He held it up to her and saw that, although it reached down to the floor, it had a slit down the right side of the dress that started at her upper thigh.
"Wow. It looks sexy even without you in it." She grinned and pushed him down onto the bed, climbing next to him and wrapping an arm around his waist.
"So you like it, yes?"
"Oh yeah. Good choice, good choice." She smiled and they lay down silently for a few minutes before he spoke up again. "You know, you're really good with her. Kelly, I mean."
She smiled as she intertwined her fingers with his. "Thank you. I do not really know where that came from, really. I just kind of…" She trailed off.
"It came naturally to you. Even though you didn't have all that experience most other woman have, you're just naturally maternal."
She smiled. "I guess so."
"It was beautiful, you know. I think you're not giving yourself enough credit. You're going to be a wonderful mother."
She stopped playing with their hands and looked up at him, her eyes serious. "You really think so? You are not just…saying that?"
He smiled and kissed her cheek. "No, Zi. I really mean it. Watching you with her, it made me want to see that side of you every day."
She smiled up at him. "I…I want that too, I think. I am still terrified, but it was really nice. I just do not want to rush it."
He smiled. "Me neither, me neither."
They stayed there for a while. Soon they heard a knock on the door. Groaning Ziva got up and opened it to find Abby and Kelly smiling broadly.
"We need to eat!" Kelly exclaimed as she ran into the room past Ziva and jumped onto the bed, snuggling up to Tony. "Uncle Tony wake up!" He groaned and pulled her closer to him.
"No…" He said, trying to hide a smile from his face. Kelly smiled and started poking him in the stomach.
Tony's eyes shot open and he grinned. "That's it!" He shot up and started tickling Kelly lightly. She laughed and squirmed underneath him. After a minute he stopped and smiled at her.
"I woke him up Aunt Abby!"
Abby grinned as she made her way into the room with a smiling Ziva behind her.
"I see." She turned to address Tony and Ziva. "Chinese or pizza? We're getting takeout."
"Pizza." They both said, smiling at each other. Abby grinned. "I'm going to go order. Gibbs and Shannon were going to pick it up and McGee's in the shower. Can you two watch Kelly for a while?"
"Sure." Tony said turning to Kelly. "Wanna watch TV?" She nodded and as Tony reached over to grab the remote, Abby left the room and Ziva sat down next to Tony on the bed, with Kelly sitting on a chair in front of the TV in the corner of the room.
"Oh, and Tony?" Abby poked her head in the room and grinned. "Keep your actions g-rated."
He mocked a frown. "Who, me?" Ziva grinned at him as Abby left to order the pizza. Kelly watched TV while Ziva snuggled into Tony's chest. He absentmindedly ran his arm down Ziva's side. She stifled a moan as she leaned up to whisper in Tony's ear.
"Not now Tony. I know we have not gotten a chance to yet, but I promise you it will be worth it." She ran her hand down his chest, bypassing his groin and stopping at his thigh. He groaned and sat up, pulling Ziva up with him. She smirked and got up to sit next to Kelly.
"What are you watching?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean?" Tony asked as he got up and went to sit on the other side of Kelly.
"I don't know what I want to watch."
"Let me tell you a secret." Ziva smiled and Kelly leaned in closer to her. Ziva whispered in her ear and Kelly grinned.
"Let's watch a movie." Kelly looked up and grinned at Tony.
"I love movies! Did she tell you that?" He pointed an accusing finger at Ziva.
Kelly shook her head. "No."
"Are you sure?"
She smiled. "Yes I'm sure."
"Alright." Tony smiled and took the remote, switching through channels.
"Stop." Kelly ordered, putting her hand on Tony's.
"Cinderella." Ziva said with a smile. "One of my favorites." Kelly smiled and cuddled up next to her, with Tony's arm around the both of them. They stayed like that until Gibbs came in. He saw the three of them snuggle up like that, and he was so happy. He started to sneak up behind them. Ziva, sensing someone there, turned her head slightly and smiled when she saw Gibbs. He reached the sofa and surprised Kelly.
"Daddy!" She smiled and jumped around the sofa to him.
"The food's here. Let's go eat." Tony and Ziva smiled and followed Gibbs and Kelly out of the room to their room. There they ate and McGee told them that they had a flight back at 0800.
"Really McDawn? We couldn't have a later one?" Tony asked, annoyed.
McGee shook his head. "Nope. Unless you want to risk getting stuck at an airport again." Tony groaned.
"So we will wake up early." Abby said solemnly.
"Very. Early." Ziva groaned. "I usually get up early, but that is extreme.
The only person excited was Kelly. "I wanna go on the plane now!" Everybody laughed. They finished eating and went to bed early to get ready to go home.
