The DiNozzo Seven being reduced to the DiNozzo six was hands down the most unfortunate and painful media coverage the DiNozzo family would receive. For months they were on the receiving end of at times unwanted sympathy and curiosity. They knew that people meant well but it didn't make the hugs, tears, and questions any easier. Many people wondered how the family could possibly go on after losing a second son and the answer was because they had to. Tony and Ziva had three other little ones to worry over and three older children who still needed their parents. The older DiNozzo children all had families and careers of their own to worry over and the younger children were just that. Children and they needed to be kids. The mourned for Liam but they also knew that Gavriella was right. Liam would not want them to be sad for too long. So they mourned but they also carried on with their lives. The DiNozzo six were still reported on every birthday and major accomplishment. As the now six grew to teens they grew irritated with the attention but also knew they would appreciate the stories when grew older. Especially the ones featuring Liam. Even though many of the family's milestones were covered so many other amazing things happened to them over the years.

Six months after Liam's death Nate and Dustin renewed their wedding vows. Nate told Sean that he was very special to him but he was only a young romance. They would always be first loves but it was time to move on. Sean understood and ended up marrying a man named Paul a year later. Nate and Sean adopted two more children. A two year old girl named Beverly and a newborn boy named Marcus.

One year and five months after Liam's death Eliana married Taylor. Jared ended up dying of an overdose not long after Liam died. Eliana and Ziva attended the funeral but they did not subject Destiny to it. After the wedding Taylor adopted Destiny and Eliana adopted Cooper. They went on to have two more children. An adopted thirteen year old named Marcia and a biological son named Ocean. Over the years they took in several foster children over the years. Some were older some were younger. Some were normal others were special needs. Some were from America others were from abroad.

Two years, three months, and nine days Holly gave birth to her fourth and final child. A healthy and happy little girl whom they called Abigail Ziva. Chris and her originally planned on starting to try right away but then both were given amazing opportunities at work and opted to put off trying for a while. They had three other children who were older and didn't need them as much. So it's not like they were putting their careers first. Chris went on to become the head of cyber programs at NCIS and Holly ended up becoming Principal of the special needs school in Alexandria.

Each of the surviving DiNozzo Seven became happy and successful adults. Rory wasn't one of the seven but he was happy and successful too. He married a woman named Beth and had four children of his own. He was a software engineer at Quantico. Destiny the eldest of the seven married a man named Joe and with him had two children. She was a stay at home mom but she did teach dance after her youngest started school. Noah was not one of the seven either but like Rory he was important to the story. He married a woman named Dawn and together they had five children. He was the head of Cold Case at NCIS. Timothy married a woman named Angela and together they had one child. He was a lawyer. Katelyn married a man named Stan and together they had four children. She like her mother and grandmother became a teacher. Jack married a woman named Claire and together they had a set of twins. He took after his grandpa Gibbs and had a carpentry business. Talia married a man named Barry and together they had six children. She went on to become an accountant. Gavriella married a man named Lorne like Liam he had Cerebral Palsy but he only had a mild case. Able to walk with the aide of crutches. Together they had three children. Two biological and one adopted who like his father and uncle had CP. Gavriella followed through with her wish and did become a doctor a pediatric cardiologist.

Gibbs died ten years after Liam's death in the most Gibbs way possible. He was working on his final boat. The one that he would finally be dubbed "The Shannon". When he began to feel bad and knew that he was suffering a heart attack. He grabbed a picture of Shannon and Kelly, the flask that had saved his life, poured his best bourbon into the flask, climbed into the boat, took his last drink, hugged his family one last time, and died peacefully.

Tony was a very old man when he died at the age of one hundred years old. Ziva and him were married for fifty-five amazing years when he died. With modern medicine and advances in science. Living to a hundred was not the feat it once was but for somebody like Tony. It was a truly amazing accomplishment. For a man who had buried a wife and two sons, been shot, blown up, and battled the plague. Living to old age at all was a miracle. At his retirement party fifteen years ago Dr. Pitt had confessed that he was always prepared to have to tell Tony that he was dying. Tony's death was exactly how you would want it to be. He curled up in bed with Ziva and never woke up.

Ziva David was now an old woman in her nineties. She sat in the chair and looked straight ahead at the camera. She was not ready to give this interview. She had just buried her Tony the previous afternoon and quite frankly she did not want to go on. Still their story truly was amazing. So she took one last deep breath and began to speak.

"Fifty six years ago I was a teacher at a mostly Navy School near Quantico Naval Base. When one day one of my students needed a the help of a woman. She was the son of a widower and well eventually mother nature makes her appearance."

"That was a piece recorded by Ziva David-DiNozzo this morning. Her husband of fifty-five years died five days ago. He went peacefully in his sleep. His funeral was yesterday and today three hours after this piece was reordered. Ziva died in the home of one of her daughter's. We are told it was natural and are thrilled at the prospect of her being back with the love of her life. Rest well Tony and Ziva and thanks for the amazing stories over the past five decades." The reporter spoke after the interview was completed.
