2 days later, 6 days until Christmas, Ari and Ziva stood in the David Mansion with Eli and Adina. Ziva had called Bonnie and explained the situation to her and asking if she, Andy and Cole could some help Tony with the Quads while bringing Denny and Violet to see their Grandfather. Seeing as Brendan, Andy, Cole and Faith were all on their Christmas break they came straight away. Ari on the other hand had spent the last night before getting on the plane to Israel with Kate. He had promised her many times that he would return in one piece for her and their daughter.

"Are both of you sure you want to do this?" Eli asked with little emotion in his voice. Ziva and Ari just nodded and Adina looked down. Ziva stepped towards her mother.

"Are you sure you want us to do this Ima?" She asked quietly.

"My daughter has never been who she was all those years ago, I believed her to be dead until a few years ago" Adina said in a sad voice. "I do not want her to hurt our family"


"Ari, you better get your ass home soon" Kate mumbled under her breath.

"What was that sweetie?" Marie asked from where she was baking in the kitchen. Kate sighed and shook her head, putting her face in her hands on the kitchen table.

"Mum, you know that I'm happy you're here, but doesn't Dad need you? At home?" Kate asked. Marie turned to her.

"Have you gotten a crib for the baby yet?" She asked with wide eyes.

Kate looked up at her "I have four months to get it" She said.

"Katie, it's better to get things early!"

Kate looked down, normally she would always get everything, no matter what occasion, weeks, even months before hand. Ever since she was a little girl. But with the baby she was constantly worried that something would happen, so she hadn't gotten anything just in case. She knew it was stupid and Ari would probably tell her that, but that didn't stop her from that voice in the back of her head.

"I know"

"Now, you'll need help once the baby arrives. I'll set up the spare bedroom and spend the first few weeks helping you" Maire said with a smile.

Kate's eyes widened.


Cole and Faith were sitting on the couch in the DiNozzo Residence watching a movie while the others were all out with the Quads, Denny and Violet. Faith was half lying on the couch and half propped up on Cole's chest. His arm was around her and their fingers were entwined on her lap.

"We should get married" He said quietly.

Faith chuckled and turned her head to kiss his chest "We should" She said.

They turned their attention back to the TV, both with smiles on their faces.


"Abby?" McGee called stepping into his and Abby's bedroom. He had just put Carmella down for her nap, and let Snow run around outside with Jethro (both dogs had decided to be best friends with each othr) and returned to find Abby gone from their bed. "Abs?" He called again. He heard a soft murmur from the en suite and quickly walked in there.

"Tim?" Abby said looking up at him with red eyes from where she was sitting on the bathroom floor.

"Abby, what's wrong?" He asked crouching down next to her.

"Every time I close my eyes all I can see is Mikel…and the house…and when he…" She began to hyperventilate. McGee sat behind her and pulled her into his chest and held into her tightly.

"You're safe Abs. I won't let him hurt you again ok?" He whispered. She just nodded against his chest. "And when you're ready, we'll…you know…" He trailed off awkwardly. Abby chuckled through her tears.

"Thank you Tim" She said kissing his cheek.


"What are you two doing here?" Tali snarled as Ari and Ziva burst into her apartment, guns raised.

"We are sorry Tali, but we have to do this" Ari said. Tali crossed her arms and looked at Ziva.

"I bet you are going to love killing me Ziva. After I slept with your husband all you wanted to do was see me dead. Now you are getting your wish" She said "You know, Hamas is much more exciting then Mossad ever was" Tali said pulling out her own gun and aiming it at Ziva. Ziva didn't even get a chance to blink when a sudden gun shot went off.

Tali fell to the floor and Ari lowered his gun. Suddenly someone walked through the front door. Ziva turned her head and saw Deron standing there staring at Tali.

"Tali?" Deron said rushing to her and putting pressure on the wound in her chest "Please do not do this Tali" He said practically hyperventilating in panic. Tali slowly opened her eyes.

"I love you" She whispered, a tear leaking from her eye.

"I love you so much Tali...I am sorry for everything...Please stay awake. Please"

Tali's breathing started to come out in short gasps and she looked up into Deron's eyes with a pained look "It...hurts" She gasped out.

"I know. But please hold on" He said, tears running down his face. He lifted her up so he had an arm wrapped around her shoulders while his other hand rested on her wound. She lifted her hand and rested it against his heart

"le'olam ahuvi" She whispered before her eyes slipped closed and her hand slipped from his chest.

"No" He said wide eyed staring down at Tali's limp form in his arms "Tali, No...no, no, no" He whispered over and over again. Ziva and Ari slipped out of the room unnoticed, the last thing they heard before they walked out of the hallway was Deron.


Later the next night Ari silently entered his and Kate's house and found her asleep on the couch. He put down his duffle bag next to the couch and crouched down next to Kate.

"Caitlin" He murmured shaking her shoulder gently. She stirred and almost knocked Ari over when she sat up quickly.

"You're back!" She said hugging him. She pulled back "Is Tali…"

"Yes" He nodded.

"Oh" She said sadly.

"Why are you asleep on the couch?" He asked sitting down next to her and pulling her into his arms.

"My mother is still here. She will not leave" She said. Ari lightly stroked her stomach and kissed her neck.

"Hmm?" He murmured against her neck.

"She's moved herself in, to help with the baby when she's born" She said, trying not to get distracted by Ari.

"I'm guessing you are not pleased with that" He said kissing the other side of her neck.

"Ari…Stop" Kate said pushing his head from her neck. He raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

She smirked and turned so her legs were draped over his "So I can kiss you properly" She whispered pressing her lips to his.


Ziva smiled as she walked into the bedroom and saw Tony asleep on his stomach in the middle of the bed, only in his boxers and the blanket on the floor. She kicked off her shoes and crawled up over him, kissing from the bottom of his back to his shoulder.

"That better be you Ziva, or someone's got some explaining to do" Tony muttered rolling over so Ziva was still straddling him. He reached his hand up and buried it in her hair, pulling her down to kiss her.

"Shalom My love" Ziva smirked pulling back from him.

"Never leave for four days again" He said pushing himself up on his elbows as Ziva sat back on his legs.

"Why?" She asked confused.

"I was stuck here, being ignored by all of my children, who were more interested in seeing their big brothers and sister" He said. Ziva chuckled and he entwined their hands and lifted her hands to kiss her fingers.

"How are Denny and Violet?" Ziva asked with a small smile, lifting their hands so she could kiss his fingers. He laughed slightly.

"They're good" He said pulling her to him again. "I love you" He said pulling her shirt off her and throwing it to the side.

After a few minutes he had Ziva moaning. Suddenly there was a banging on the door, but not one loud enough to wake the babies in the house.

"Okay, we really don't need to hear you" Bonnie laughed through the door "Try putting a pillow against the crack at the bottom of the door"

Ziva's head fell back against the pillows and she laughed, Tony leaned down and kissed her, laughing along with her while throwing a pillow towards the door.
