Music played through the large apartment in New York as Andy cooked breakfast the next morning, Violet sitting on a blanket in the middle of the living room. Andy looked at her playing over the kitchen counter. His apartment had a large living room/Dining room/Kitchen and one wall was completely made out of windows.

The next song that was on his I-pod began playing through the apartment and he looked up at it.

Violet's head turned towards the speakers "Auntie Bon" She said as Andy walked quickly to his I-pod to change the song. It was the recording of He, Bonnie and Cole singing at Tony and Ziva's wedding. He was sure he deleted it.

As soon as he turned it off Violet started to cry and dropped the toy that was in her hands. Andy bent down and picked her up, kissing her cheek to try and calm her.

"I know you miss your Aunt and Uncle. But we're having fun here aren't we?" Andy said walking with her until they reached the kitchen bench, where he sat the one and a half year old "And we're going out for dinner tonight with Daddy's friend"

Violet grinned and clapped her hands together as Andy continued to make breakfast.


"Ima!" Three and a half year old Bonnie yelled running up to Ziva in their house in the outer suburbs of Tel Aviv "Andy's sick"

Ziva leaned down and kissed Bonnie's forehead "I know Bon, he has a sore stomach" She said.

"He'll be ok?" Bonnie checked.

"He will be fine in a day or two" Ziva assured her "Go see how he is" She said.

Bonnie nodded and went into the living room where Cole was playing on the floor and Andy was curled up on the couch with a bucket next to him. She went to the arm of the chair and got on her toes to lean over and kiss Andy's cheek.

"No more sick" She said with a nod before getting up on the couch and sitting next to him.


Kate was lying on her back early that morning, Ari lying next to her with his head propped up on his left hand as he ran his other hand over her stomach.

He ran his fingers over the scar on the side of her ever growing stomach and sighed, remembering the loss of the child early last year. She put her hand on top of his and looked up at him with a sad smile. His fingers went up to run across the thin scar on her shoulder from when she was cut with a knife during a mission.

"I like the name Madelyn" She whispered. He leaned down and kissed her while running his fingers across her cheek.

"I do too" He murmured. She smiled up at him and yawned, covering her mouth with a smirk.

"Sorry, someone kept me up all night" She said.

"How dare they" He smirked back. She pulled his head back down to hers and chuckled as she kissed him.


Bonnie ran up behind Cole and jumped on his back as they walked through the park near their house.

"For someone as tiny as you, how can you be so heavy?" Cole asked as Bonnie put her hands on top of his head. She let out a laugh and almost fell off him.

A few feet behind them Brendan and Faith were walking with Denny in a baby carrier strapped to Brendan's chest.

"She misses Andy" Brendan said to Faith "She won't admit it, but she does"

Faith nodded and looked over at Cole and Bonnie, who were in the process of falling over "Cole misses him too"

They heard bodies hit the ground and looked over to see Cole and Bonnie laughing on the grass, Faith walked over and stood next to Cole.

"You two are worse than your brothers and sister" She said with a laugh. Cole pushed himself up on his elbows and grinned at her.

"They're two and a half, we're 19, we're allowed to be morons" He said.

Bonnie pushed herself up and stood next to Brendan, kissing Denny's head before putting her hand on Brendan's cheek and smiling at him.

Cole quickly wrapped his arms around Faiths legs and pulled her down on to the grass with him, pinning her to the ground.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and covered Denny's "There is a small child here" She said as Brendan laughed.

Cole looked up at her and poked his tongue out before helping Faith up and putting his arms around her waist.

"Like you two are any better" Cole said to Bonnie and Brendan. Bonnie gave him a look and he immediately let go of Faith's waist and ran, Bonnie right behind him, both laughing as they did.

And both knowing someone was missing.


Ziva sat down in the large armchair in the consecratory, watching as the Quads played with each other in front of her. Tony came over and sat on the arm of the large red chair, putting his arm around her shoulders and kissing her temple.

"Hey" He murmured against her temple. She turned her head and kissed him, putting an arm around his back.

Ziva's cell phone rang from the other room, so she stood, making Tony fall gracefully into the armchair and she went to go get it.

She frowned when she saw the number, but answered the phone anyway.

"Zi Zi, please do not hang up" Came Deron's voice.

Ziva sighed and looked through into the conservatory, seeing Tony lying on the floor with Nick, Dex and Isobel crawling on him while Leo sat near his head and poking it with a toy gun.

"What do you want?" She asked quietly.

"I want to see you. Please" He asked, and she could hear the sadness and desperation in his voice.

She sighed again "Where are you?" She asked.

"At the hotel that I always stay at" He said.

She hung up her cell and walked back into the conservatory, kneeling down next to Tony and the Quads.

"I am going to go see someone" She said to Tony "I will be back soon"

Tony just looked at her for a moment before nodding. Ziva kissed all the Quads goodbye before leaning down and kissing Tony quickly and disappearing out the front door.


Half an hour later Ziva stopped her car, taking a deep breath before turning off the engine and getting out and walking into the hotel.


Meanwhile, in New York there was a knock on Andy's apartment door, Violet quickly looking up as Andy bent to pick her up and settle her onto his side, grabbing her bag of things off the couch. He smiled when he opened the door of his apartment.

"Hey" He said leaning forward and kissing the person in front of him quickly.

"Hey" The person smiled back.

"Sorry, the babysitter cancelled earlier this morning" Andy said looking at Violet, who was reaching out to the person standing in front of Andy.

"Hello Vi" The person said taking Violet from Andy's arms and kissing the 1 and a half year old on the cheek "You gonna join you're Daddy and me for dinner?"

Violet giggled and kissed the person's cheek back. Andy laughed as he adjusted the baby bag on his shoulder.

"Alright, the reservation's in twenty minutes. We should leave" Andy said.

"Come on Vi!" The person said with a grin putting Violet on their shoulders "Let's go!" They said walking out the door.

"Vincent, I swear, if you drop her..." Andy warned as he locked his apartment door.

Vincent laughed "Hey, I'm a fire fighter too. I'm not going to drop her" He said taking Violet off his shoulders anyway and handing her back over to Andy as they walked down the hall.
