3 weeks later, 1st of February, DiNozzo-David Residence, 11:30 am.
Tony was going crazy, with all the planning. He just had gotten over the fact he was going to use Gibb's old ring to propose to her. He wanted to make it special, no he wanted to make it perfect. It had to be perfect. But nothing was perfect, in his eyes. He had to get some help so he called someone.
''Hello?'' The person on the other line said confused, clearly not recognizing the number.
''Felicity? You speak with Anthony DiNozzo. You remember me?'' He asked hesitantly.
''Tony? omg! It's so nice to hear from you, it's almost 20 years. how are you?'' Felicity was now excited.
''I'm great. Listen I was looking through magazines and your name popped up, and since I know you, I thought you may be able to help me'' Tony explained.
''Of course I want to help you! But with what exactly?'' She asked.
''I will explain everything to you, let's say, when we have lunch. At our old meeting place?'' Tony suggested.
''Sounds great! I see you there at 1:00 pm! Just like old times''
''Yeah just like old times. It's a date than'' Tony said excitedly.
''Uh-huh! It's a date! See you than, bye!''
''Bye Felicity'' Tony said and hung up the phone. He smiled for a second with the phone in his hand and then walked away into the kitchen, to make lunch.
Little did Tony know something. Ziva had heard the whole conversation.. well from his side ''A date? Tony has a date with a girl called Felicity? Only that name is horrible!''
She didn't know what to do. She didn't know whether to be angry, hurt or just MAD. She wanted to trust him, she really did. After all they had been through, she owed him that much. But she knew Tony was always a womanizer, but had changes so much, hasn't he? ''Why am I doubting him anyway? He loves me, he said it a thousand times. Sometimes it's even annoying!'' Ziva was completely confused. She didn't know what to do.
''Ziva!'' Tony shouted from the kitchen. ''I made lunch for you!'' Ziva shook off her thoughts and waddled over to the dining room, acting she didn't know anything.
''What did you make?'' She said (fake) happily.
''Just some sandwiches, with peanut butter and jelly. Old American sandwich'' He said and he placed the plate on the table. Then he walked towards the living room.
''Aren't you having lunch?'' Ziva asked acting confused.
''I have to go outfor a while'' Tony honestly asked.
''Huh? Where to?'' Ziva pushed him.
''I just have to pick something up for Gibbs. Nothing special'' He lied. Ziva narrowed her eyes and Tony noticed that as he put on his jacket. ''Something wrong, Sweetcheeks?'' He asked.
''No nothing, just the twins bouncing again'' Now she lied.
''Okay. I'll be back in a hour or two'' He said kissing her goodbye and grabbed his keys for the dining table. ''Bye Ziva!'' He called and Ziva heard the door slamming.

Park near NCIS HQ, 12:45 pm
Tony looked around. He was early, but he didn't mind. He watched the kids playing in the playground and couples walking hand in hand, with and without kids walking along. He loved it here. So much had happened here. He played basketball for the first time here, he met his bad friends here, he met his best friend here and he met Felicity here. Felicity was his friend as he teenager. She was the daughter of his couch and when he discovered she was living in the same neighborhood in the vacations he couldn't be any happier.
For two summers long he tried to get her to go out with him. Without luck. She was the only girl who never gave in to his charming smile, his green eyes or his way of seducing girls. Yes she made flirty comments, but it was never meant from her side. It was more sister like. After two years he accepted that she just didn't care. But the two got really close. That was until she moved away because of her first job offer, after college. They had contact the first couple of months, but when he got a job offer himself, they didn't had the time to keep contact.
He was looking through some magazines this morning, discovering, that there was a company of a new brand of clothing in DC. He recognized her name and he knew she was the right person to ask him for help. Not for clothes, but with planning the proposal. She always talked about it, to him, even though he was a man. She didn't care.
10 minutes later, a woman with long brown curly hair walked up to him. He watched her. She had a little girl attached to her hand. If he didn't know better he could have sworn it was Ziva.
''Tony?'' She called, when she was 10 meters away from him.
''Felicity!'' Tony said excited and stood up, walking towards her.
''Omg! You just look the same!'' She noticed.
''You too, but you got even more beautiful'' He said charming as always.
''See you didn't grow up either'' She teased. Tony smiled and led her the way to a picnic table and they both sat down. He looked at the little girl , who was trying to hide behind Felicity.
''And who have we here?'' Tony said, softly.
''Ooh this..'' Felicity pulled the little girl from behind her. ''Is Gina'' She said smiling.
''She's yours?'' Tony asked.
''No I just grabbed a child of the swing in the playground, I thought would be nice to show up with her. Of course she's mine!'' Felicity said sarcastically
''I know. I was just surprised. Never thought you would settle for someone'' Tony said.
''Aaaaaawwww. Did you still had your hopes up and wanted to ask me out?'' Felicity made a pouted face. Tony glared at her. She hadn't changed a bit. Only a little taller and was dressed more mature.
''Mommy? Who is this?'' Gina asked, pulling her thumb out of her mouth for those seconds.
''This is Tony. he's an old friend of mine. You can check him out if you want'' Felicity explained and Gina walked over to Tony.
Tony welcomed her with open arms and picked her up. For the first couple of minutes Gina was a little hesitant, but soon she had turned into a excited little girl and was making weird faces with Tony. She had to laugh when he pulled his ears and his togue got out.
''Never thought you would be able to let a kid smile. Last time I was around, you made a boy cry because you were trying to calm him down with candy. Who that gets done, is for my a big question mark'' Felicity laughed.
''I have grown up a bit. I have too'' Tony said, while Gina was almost asleep on his lap.
''What do you mean Tony?''
''This is why I invited you here. You still fantasizing about the perfect proposal?'' Tony asked. Felicity looked a little confused.
''Yes… even thought i'm happily married. Why?'' She then asked.
''Well. I have a girlfriend, her name is Ziva''
''You finally got someone, who would go out with you? Who would do that?'' Felicity joked.
''Believe me, it took me 8 years, to realize I liked her, and to ask her out, but in the end it's all worth it''
''She is really that special?''
''She is! I love her so much, we have been through a lot in those years, and she even more, before I even met her. She's smart and independent. She is beautiful, and her accent is priceless! '' Tony's face lite up, talking about her. Felicity could tell. ''Anyways, she's pregnant now. We're having twins!''
''That is sooo wonderful!'' Felicity said and hugged him, trying not to wake up the now sleeping Gina.
''I know. And I want to ask her to marry me, but I got stressed and I thought who better to contact then the one who fantasized about proposals all her life'' Tony smiled.
Felicity smiled at him. ''I missed you, you know that? I wanna help, but first I wanna know everything you have been up to the last 20 years and about Ziva''
''I missed you too'' Tony nodded and started his whole life story. They talked for more than an hour about Baltimore and NCIS and the Giblets, especially Ziva. He even talked about his father. Felicity knew everything about that. She was there with him, when things got out of hand.
''So after you guys resigned, you and Ziva…'' Felicity teased.
Tony laughed about how she pointed her finger to him. ''Yes. She wanted to go back to Israel, but I convinced her to talk about it, at my place and we did, and all of the sudden she kissed me. She kissed me!'' Tony pointed out Ziva was first. ''And things went off, from there'' He said smiling.
''You guys are crazy!'' Felicity was blown away about all he had been through. ''It's like a Romantic story!''
''I know it felt that way for me too. And even more because we knew that our Boss..''
''Gibbs?''
''Yes, because we knew he had a rule against coworkers being together. So we kept it a secret, when we got back'' Tony finished the whole story and Felicity was even more surprised.
''I can't believe you went through all that. I never thought you would be a cop anyways''
''I know, but I love my job and I love the fact I got to meet Ziva, this way''
''She sounds like an amazing woman. I would like to meet her sometime''
''We can arrange that'' Tony smiled. They talked about the proposal for half an hour more and then Gina woke.
''Mommy, I wanna go to dada?'' She said sleepy, rubbing in her eyes.
''I know honey. We're going home'' Felicity stood up and picked Gina from Tony's lap and held her. ''I guess I will see you on valentine's day than. And I call you a soon as I have arranged it''
''Sounds like a great plan. Thanks for everything, Liz'' Tony said used her nickname. ''I owe you big time''
''I will come up with a payback'' She teased, then leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. ''Goodbye Tony''
''Bye'' He smiled. She turned and walked away. Gina who was looking over Felicity's shoulder and waved at Tony and Tony waved and smiled back.
He grabbed his keys from the picnic table and walked to his car. He still had to do groceries and looking at his watch he had to hurry. ''Shit 4:30 pm! Ziva is going to be worried if I don't go home soon!'' At the moment he thought that, his cellphone rang. ''There you have it already''
''Hi Ziva!'' He said happily.
''Anthony DiNozzo Jr.! Where the hell are you? You said you would be back in two hours, 3,5 hours ago! That would mean your 1,5 hour too late! and when I called Gibbs to ask if your staying over there, he said you weren't there!'' She shouted. Wow she was angry. First lying to her where he was going, and then again lying when he would be back.
''Ziva calm down! I'll be there in 40 minutes I promise if I'm not you can kill me, after you found me'' Tony tried to calm her down.
''You better be or you're a dead man'' She shouted and then there was a beeping sound. The phone was disconnected. Tony ran to his car and sprinted away in it. This wasn't going to be one of his best evenings….
…..
35 minutes later, DiNozzo-David Residence.
Turning the key and opening the door, Tony could feel the tension in the house. Ziva was mad at him and there wasn't anything he could think of to use as an excuse.
Ziva had heard it and ran.. well waddled as fast as she could… to the front door and met her boyfriend there. Tony looked worried seeing Ziva's angered face.
''I'm home…'' He said trying to smile.
''Where the hell have you been?'' She asked him straight away.
Tony remained silent. ''What am I supposed to say? I'm not going to ruin this. But if I don't tell something I will lose her''
''Who is Felicity?'' She than asked.
Tony was shocked. ''How dord she know that name? did she hear him on the phone?'' ''Who?'' He tried.
Ziva laughed angrily. ''Don't do that DiNozzo. I have heard you talking to her, on the phone. you know if you're gonna plan a date, with some girl behind my back, so in fact you are cheating on me. than you should be a lot quieter!'' She yelled at him.
''What! No! Ziva I'm not cheating on you! You know I would never do that! I love you, were having a kid together, two of them!'' Tony tried to calm her down. He did not expect this to be happening.
''Then where were you?'' Ziva gave him one last change.
Again Tony was silent for a minute and at second Ziva wanted to yell again, Tony spoke. ''I was with her—'' He wanted to explain everything but Ziva cut him off.
''So you admit it? Well that's a relief! I can't believe this!'' She yelled and walked away
''Ziva..'' Tony tried and followed her as she walked up the stairs.
Ziva turned to face him ''No Tony! Don't do this. I need to be alone!'' She demanded and she walked up the stairs and slammed their bedroom door. Tony was left at the bottom of the stairs looking up into nothing.
He hadn't not planned this. He could understand Ziva for acting this way. But if she just let him talk and she listened. He would've told everything. No this was really not going to be one of his best evenings…
