Ziva was amazed by how easy it was to care for baby Jason. Of course it was challenging to have a baby. That went without saying but compared to John. Compared to all the care that John had needed as an infant and through his entire life. Jason crying and needing constant care. Was a breeze compared to eight years of feeding tubes and alarms. Still she had her worries. Every cry had the chance of being from serious pain. He was developing slow but he had been born months premature. According to the doctors he was doing great but the fear was there. The fear would never go away.

Tony loved having a baby in the house. He missed having babies around. After losing his third child. He just didn't picture babies being around. Carson and Gavriella were so small back then that grandchildren were the farthest thing from his mind. Now he had a grandchild who may one day be his step-son. Ziva and him were still too new to really think that far in advance. Tonight they were having their first real date.

"So where are you guys going?" Gavriella asked.

"Just to a local cafe and a movie. Simple but we can easily leave if Juliana needs us." Tony replied.

"So Juliana is in charge of both of us?" Gavriella asked.

"Yes but feel free to help her with Jason. A newborn is a lot of work." Tony replied.

"Can I? He's so little." Gavriella observed.

"I don't want you handling him alone unless it is an emergency but you are more than welcome to help out." Tony explained.

"Do you think I could start babysitting?" Gavriella asked.

"Lets see how tonight goes first. Then we will talk after your next birthday." Tony replied.

Even though they had been together for months now and had been on several informal dates. Ziva was still nervous. This was not only her first serious date with Tony. It was her first serious date since Daniel. Over two decades had passed since she went on a real first date. Two decades had passed since she had been considering marriage. She never dreamed she would be wondering about marrying another man. She had always figured she would have Daniel forever or until they were old. After he died so young. She figured that she would just be alone. She figured that she just needed John and Juliana by her side.

"Are you nervous?" Juliana asked.

"Extremely" Ziva replied.

"You can cancel if you want." Juliana offered.

"I don't want to cancel. I want to go." Ziva insisted.

"You don't need a man." Juliana reminded.

"I know but I like Tony. I want to date him." Ziva insisted.

Tony and Ziva left around six. They were planning on arriving back around ten in the evening. That way Juliana would not have to be up all night. It was a Friday evening but Juliana had to work the next morning. Carson was working that evening and would not be back until eleven. It was just the girls and Jason. The couple was nervous about the entire situation but was more than ready to officially begin their relationship.

"I can't believe this is finally happening." Ziva said.

"I never thought we would get here. It seemed like every time we tried to have a date something would come up." Tony replied.

"Well here we finally are." Ziva replied.

Tony pulled into the cafe. He climbed out of the car and opened the door for Ziva. She exited and they walked inside together. Tony started to pull the chair out for Ziva but she had already seated by the time he got around. He took the seat across from her. A waitress came and took their drink orders. Tony ordered a coffee with cream and sugar and Ziva ordered a lemonade. The drinks were brought a few minutes later and then took their food orders. Tony ordered chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Ziva ordered a Cobb Salad.

"You like everything?" Tony asked.

"It's delicious" Ziva replied.

"Sorry it isn't fancier." Tony apologized.

"Tony this is fine. I am just glad that we are together." Ziva assured.

"I wish I could do better. I considered going to the Adams House but there is somebody I do not want to see there. Actually most nicer restaurants." Tony explained.

"Who can you be that afraid of?" Ziva questioned.

"My father" Tony replied.

"That scumbag is still alive?" Ziva questioned.

"Unfortunately" Tony sighed.

The movie Tony and Ziva ended up seeing was Wonder Woman. It was at a small theater downtown. That tended to show indie films and old black and whites, but every once in a while they would show a major movie. Wonder Woman just happened to be one of those movies. Even though it had just premiered at that theater. Tony and Ziva felt awkwardly out of place. The other occupants were teenagers and college age students. The only other older than twenty-five. Were a group of five woman who had to be over eighty. None of that mattered. Tony and Ziva were just enjoying each other. Despite having just eaten they split a bucket of popcorn. Tony had a coke and Ziva had a root beer. Despite falling closer to the elderly ladies in the back. The movie made them feel young again. The story was good but it was not the plot. It was just being together. They laughed and held each other close. They even made out a little bit. All too soon the movie ended and they were back to reality. As they were walking out of the theater. Ziva saw a woman and a man pushing a boy in a wheelchair. The boy looked almost identical to John. Ziva fell to the ground sobbing. Tony took a seat beside her and placed his arm around her.

"It's OK" Tony whispered.

"I miss him. I pretend to be strong but I miss him." Ziva sobbed.

"I know. Now come on let's get you to a cleaner place to cry." Tony replied, picking Ziva up and carrying her to the car. This was not the ideal way to end the first date but none of that mattered. He was just glad to have her.
