After being told about the get together for Jenny by Ziva; Tali was being dropped off at the airport by Jaxson for her flight to DC. Since Tali was only going to be in DC for a quick two days, she only brought a carry on suitcase with her purse. As Tali was getting her boarding pass from one of the many self serve check in stations at the airport, Tali was noticed by one of the airport staff.

"Back again?"

"Yes, I am. Just racking up those frequent flyer miles." Tali answered with a smile.

"Where are you off to now?"

"Washington DC."

"Okay, well enjoy your time there."

The airport staff member continued on with their day as Tali made her way to the security check point. Once she was through the security check point, Tali stopped on her way to her terminal to get a cup of coffee while she waited to board the plane and she grabbed a burrito from one of the Mexican fast food places in the airport. Tali took a quick picture of her coffee and her burrito

Tali had captioned the picture say that she had supplies to get through the next few hours and had sent it to Jaxson.

That's my girl.

While waiting to board the plane, Tali nursed her coffee and played a few games on her phone. It wasn't long after she had finished a task in one of her games that the row that Tali was in on the plane was able to board. A few minutes after getting to her seat and getting situated, Tali was joined by an elderly woman.

"Looks like we'll flying to DC together."

"Yes it does." Tali replied.

"So what has you heading to our nation's capital today, if you don't mind me asking?"

In that moment before she answered the elderly woman, Tali tried to figure out how she would tell the sweet old lady next to her that Jenny and Gibbs who were not only family friends but also family, just got engaged and Tali was going to DC for a celebratory get together.

"Two family friends just recently got engaged…" Tali started to say.

"Oh that's so sweet."

"Yes it is, I am going to DC for a little celebratory get together for the bride to be."

"Well enjoy yourself while you're there."

The flight went by quickly as did the remainder of the coffee and the burrito Tali had gotten. After she had disembarked from the plane, Tali pulled her phone out. First off, Tali had sent a message to Jaxson to tell him that she had landed in DC. The second message was sent off to her ride that was waiting for her.

"How was your flight?" Jenny asked.

"Good, let me see that ring!"

Jenny obliged.

"Jethro has good taste." Tali commented.

"He's had practice."

"Only some…"Tali said cheekily.

Jenny laughed as the two of them got into the car after Tali's carry on suitcase had been loaded into the back of the car.

"I'm happy that you convinced your mother to all Jack and Ellie to join us." Jenny said.

"I am too, it just didn't seem right to exclude them because they don't have wedding bands or engagement rings on their hands."

"Agreed."

"Technically speaking, Ellie was married and almost engaged." Tali said.

"Yeah, now Nick just has to step up."

Tali laughed.

"What's so funny?" Jenny asked as they came to a traffic light.

"You just reminded me of when Mom told Nick to man up and tell Ellie how he felt about her."

Jenny then recalled seeing those moments play out when she was on the other side.

"I remember that, that was entertaining."

Tali nodded.

In that moment, Jenny read the look on Tali's face and she knew what the young woman was thinking.

"You know don't you?" Jenny questioned.

"I know a lot of things, Jen."

"Don't act like your father, Tali. You know what I am talking about."

"Yes I know."

"How? Did she tell you? Or was it Leon or Jethro that told you?"

"I figured it out, much like Faith had all those years ago. My parents are agents, Jen; remember…"

Jenny nodded as took a turn down one of the many DC streets.

"My heart goes out to Jack whenever it crosses my mind."

"Mine too." Jenny said.

"Then my maternal side comes out; I pray that nothing like that ever happens to my girls."

"I've been doing the same when it comes to Annie." Jenny admitted.

Shortly after that, Jenny dropped Tali off at the Addams House Hotel and told her that she would be back in a few hours to take Tali to the get together.

"Can I help you?" the concierge asked.

"Ah yes, I am checking in…"

"And what's the name for the reservation?"

"Tali Cruz."

"I have a Tali DiNozzo-David-Cruz listed."

"That's me."

The concierge did what he had to do to check Tali in.

"Would you happen to be related to Anthony DiNozzo?" the concierge asked.

"Senior or Junior?" Tali asked.

"Ah…Anthony DiNozzo Sr."

"Yeah, he was my grandfather. Anthony DiNozzo Jr. is my father."

"Well then, welcome to the Addams House. Enjoy your stay here."

With that, Tali took the room key from the concierge and made her way to the elevators. Once inside the elevator and it had started to make it's way to the floor that Tali's room resided on, Tali took a moment to herself.

"Always a regular here; huh Grandpa?" Tali said.

It's the best of the best, kid.


A/N1: I hope that the last line of this chapter emanates Senior with the gravatase that Robert Wagner brings to the role, I was desperately trying to find a line that would do that since it just seemed to be the perfect way to end the chapter.

A/N2: With long work days coming up since I am considered to be one of the many "essential" employees for my job, it will be a while before I update again and I know that many of you are likely at home during this uncertain time that we are in now. I also know that you all look forward to new chapters, just hang in there and bear with me in between postings. I will post again as soon as I can.
