Saturday rolled around and brought with it a surreal feeling for Tony. This would be his first date since breaking things off with Zoe. He knew that he was probably rushing into things calling it a date. They were just going out for coffee and this was the first time she had asked him out. She probably just needed a friend but it was nice to have a new friend. He had kind of dropped off the Earth after Tali was killed. It was nice to be getting back on his feet again. Who knows maybe they would end up more than friends and Jonah would get a step-mother.

"Are you going out?" Ziva asked, entering Tony's room.

"Yeah" Tony replied.

"Where are you going?" Ziva asked.

"As it happens I am going out for coffee with one of the mom's from our support group." Tony replied.

"Is it ethical to date a fellow member?" Ziva asked.

"We are just friends and if we end up together we can work it out then." Tony replied.

"I don't know Tony. Stories like this rarely end well." Ziva replied.

"Mike and Molly worked out." Tony commented.

"That was a sitcom and besides over-eaters is a lot different than grieving parents." Ziva explained.

"Still they had to go above ethics. Anyway we are just friends." Tony replied.

Once again Ziva found herself overtaken by the green-eyed monster. She knew that Tony and her were not together and had not been for a long time. As far as the group knew they had been separate for a while now. They had not made any real plans to work on their romantic relationship. Gibbs wanted them to first work on their personal issues, both together and separately. Besides it was probably good for Tony to date other woman. It probably wouldn't hurt for her to date other men as well. If she could find another man willing to date somebody as broken as her.

"Ziver!" Gibbs called from downstairs.

"Yes?" Ziva called back.

"Can you do me a huge favor?" Gibbs asked.

"What?" Ziva questioned.

"McGee called me. There is a lose board on Delilah's ramp is wobbling and he can't get a hold of the landlord. I have to run out and fix it for them." Gibbs explained.

"I thought McGee could nail down a board." Ziva replied.

"He can but it might be a structural issue." Gibbs replied.

"Alright, so what do you need from me?" Ziva asked.

"Can you keep any eye on Jonah?" Gibbs asked.

"Can't Tony take him?" Ziva asked.

"No he wants it to be just Kim and him." Gibbs replied.

"So it is a date!" Ziva spat.

"No but he does need grown-up time." Gibbs replied.

"I guess you are right and I will baby-sit Jonah." Ziva replied, reluctantly.

After changing his outfit five times. Tony finally settled on a blue polo shirt and pair of nice blue jeans. He was tying his shoes when he heard the knock on the door. Seconds later he heard the door opening. Ziva was getting ready to babysit Jonah. He knew that Gibbs had opened the door. He heard somebody rushing down the staircase and unless Jonah learned how to walk in the past ten minutes. He knew that it was Ziva. He fell onto the bed and groaned. He could not believe that she was rushing down to meet his date. What was she his annoying kid sister?

"Tony! She's here!" Ziva cried.

"Be right down!" Tony called back.

Gibbs' gut was churning as soon as the door opened. There was something off about Tony's date. It wasn't his paternal anxieties. Knowing that one of his children was venturing into a new romance. No his gut was churning. Because this woman was bad news. His gut feeling was the easy part, the hard part was telling his feelings to Tony.

"Are you OK?" Ziva asked.

"Fine" Gibbs lied.

"You seem upset? Is something wrong?" Ziva asked.

"I'm fine!" Gibbs snapped.

Tony rushed down the stairs and was immediately floored. Kim wore a lovely flowing blue dress and five inch high red heels. Her hair was done and she wore red lip stick, and gold earrings. He was instantly embarrassed to be caught in his simple outfit, but it was too late to change. He came the rest of the way down the stairs and walked over to Kim. After calling a few last minutes instructions to Ziva and then made his way his car with Kim.

"So where to?" Tony asked.

"Doona's Cafe" Kim replied.

"Never heard of it." Tony replied.

"You will love it." Kim replied.

"Am I dressed for it?" Tony asked.

"Oh you're fine!" Kim replied.

"Well you are dressed up to go to a fancy restaurant." Tony observed.

"Oh this! This is nothing! Well it's something. It's just ever since I lost my Jeffery. I don't worry about special occasions anymore. Every day we are alive is a special occasion." Kim explained.

"That is very true" Tony replied.

"I know that it is not ethical to date a fellow member of the support group but you are the first to understand my pain." Kim explained.

"It is nice to have somebody I can relate to." Tony admitted.

"Are you and Ziva done then?" Kim asked.

"I don't know but this can't hurt." Tony replied.

"Well I know from my ex husband Zach. Once you are done. You should just stay done. We split up just after our son Jamie died but started dating again about a year later. We got engaged and a week before the wedding. I found out that he had never broken up with his old girlfriend. Even worse I found out because she came to my office for a pregnancy test. She was pregnant and they were going to name the baby Jeffery. Talk about insult to injury!" Kim cried.

"Wow that is terrible." Tony gasped.

"It is I miss Jamie so much." Kim sobbed.

"Wait was his name Jamie or Jeffery?" Tony asked.

"Jeffery James, we called him both." Kim replied.

"Ah" Tony replied.

"He was just four years old. He had just started school and loved it." Kim explained.

"Kim" Tony whispered.

"I'm OK" Kim replied.

"If you don't mind me asking. What happened to Jeffery?" Tony asked.

"What happened to Tali?" Kim questioned.

"She was hit by a speeding truck." Tony replied.

"It's cruel irony, that is how I lost my Jeffery." Kim explained.

"Tragic irony" Tony whispered.

A/N: Kim certainly has her hooks in Tony. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
