Epilogue

Ziva smiled looking at her reflection in the mirror. The beautiful white dress fell off her shoulders, cascading to the floor elegantly.

Abby smiled watching her friend. "Tony's going to faint seeing you. You look absolutely gorgeous."

"Thank you Abby, but I really hope that he doesn't." Ziva laughed. It was hard to believe that a year ago they sat in front of Vance and Gibbs asking if they could date. Now, Tony and Ziva were getting married.

"Mama pretty!" Conner squealed happily from where he sat. The two year old sat contently in a chair watching his mother and Abby as they got themselves ready and the young boy.

"Thank you tateleh," Ziva smiled and picked up her son. She kissed his head and twirled with him.

Conner squealed in delight. "Mama!"

"He's so cute Ziva!" Abby laughed watching the little boy.

"What do you tell Aunt Abby, Conner?" Ziva stopped and kissed her son's head smiling.

"Thank you." Conner nodded grinning. He clapped and began to giggle as he watched the smiles on the adults' faces.

"You are very welcome buddy." Abby smiled.

"Everyone decent?" Gibbs called through the closed door.

"Nope!" Conner giggled. He clapped a hand over his mouth to stifle the giggles but that wouldn't help.

Ziva laughed tickling her son gently. "It's safe Gibbs."

Gibbs chuckled coming in. "Is Conner being a silly boy?" He walked over to his agent's son and gently tickled under his chin. More garbled giggles escaped the little boy as his grandpa tickled him.

"No!" He squealed giggling, "Mama silly!"

Ziva laughed and tickled the squirming little boy a smile on her face. "Conner! Silly boy!"

Abby laughed and lovingly kissed the happy child's head. "You silly boy Conner."

Ziva laughed and set Conner down before going to Gibbs and hugging him. "Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me." Gibbs was going to be walking Ziva down the aisle towards one very special agent DiNozzo.

"You're very welcome Zivers." Gibbs smiled and kissed her curls softly. Ziva was like his daughter and if he wasn't able to do it for Kelly he was glad Ziva was letting him take on the role. He was proud of his two agents for finally figuring everything out and now becoming a family. He was especially proud of Tony, taking on the role of dad with a child that wasn't even his own.

"How are the guys doing?" Abby asked gently setting Conner on the chair again. She helped the little boy stand to his feet and held him carefully.

"They're all ready." Gibbs smiled.

"Good." Abby handed Conner the veil. "Okay bud we're gonna put it on Mommy."

Ziva smiled and carefully knelt on the ground. She patiently waited as Conner tried to get it on.

Abby smiled and helped the little boy gently. She grabbed Ziva's bouquet and helped her stand. "You look absolutely gorgeous."

"Mama pretty!" Conner sat down again and clapped his hands together approvingly.

"You do look beautiful Zivers." Gibbs smiled watching her.

Ziva smiled taking the flowers. She kissed her son's cheek and smiled. "Thank you guys." She looked at herself once more in the mirror. She looked like a bride. One that Tony was gonna be in love with. "So are we ready?"

"Definitely!" Abby grabbed her flowers and helped Conner slide off the chair. She took his hand. "Let's go!"

Conner grinned and opened the door leading Abby out and walked with her down the aisle to his dad who waited to marry his mother.

Gibbs smiled at Ziva. "Ready?"

Ziva smiled linking her arm with his. "As much as I will be." She followed him out of the room and walked down the aisle towards her groom. Nothing could ruin the happiness she fully cherished at this moment. This moment would be one she would lock up and treasure forever.

Ziva saw McGee standing behind Tony holding Conner's hand. The smile on the young agent told her he was excited for his best friends. Ducky stood in the audience with Vance and DiNozzo Sr., smiles displayed over their faces excited for the young agents as well.

The only person Ziva didn't see was her father. This was fine with both the bride and groom. When they had told Eli he had begun a yelling match which resulted in him not coming to the wedding. Ziva wasn't going to let even him ruin her day. For once she had happiness, and her father wouldn't take that away from her.

Quickly, Ziva was being handed to Tony. She pecked Gibbs' cheek smiling.. "Thank you again." She whispered.
Gibbs smiled. "You're welcome Zivers." He went to sit with Ducky.

Tony and Ziva exchanged their vows and rings with smiles displayed across their faces. This is what they had been waiting for. What they were ready for. "You may now kiss the bride." The line was spoken and Tony didn't hesitate. He kissed his newly wedded wife smiling.

Ziva smiled and picked up their son. "Now we are officially a family."

Tony smiled wrapping an arm around her. "We always have been Zee. Huh Conner?"

"Always!" Conner grinned and snuggled into the space between his parents.

The End.
