Ziva was washing up dinner plates when she felt Tony's finger brush against her arm. He pushed her long curls off her neck and shoulder and started to plant little kisses along her neck and shoulder.

'I take it the girls are in bed?' she said, smiling. Tony chuckled.

'Just checked on them. Both are practically fast asleep.'

Ziva turned around to face Tony, resting her arms on his shoulders, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss.

The attraction between Tony and Ziva that was there when they first met fifteen years ago still existed. As their relationship grew deeper and stronger, so did their love and attraction for each other.

The kiss broke, both enjoying the closeness they usually didn't get when Tali and Tilly were awake.

'Let me finish the washing up and I will meet you upstairs' said Ziva. Tony moaned in her ear, Ziva taking that as a yes. She turned around, back to the sink. Tony carried on kissing her neck. 'Tony, the more you do that, the longer it will take me to finish washing up.'

Tony pulled away, and reluctantly went upstairs to wait for his wife.

He did not have to wait long. Less than ten minutes later, Ziva closed the door.

'You are so beautiful, Ziva. I love you more and more every day' whispered Tony.

'I love you too, Tony' replied Ziva. 'You are an incredible man, Tony. You make me want to be a better person, a better wife.' They kissed passionately again, as they fell into bed, naked.


'Do you remember the first time we made love?' asked Tony, afterwards. They were sitting up in bed. Tony's arm was draped over Ziva's shoulders, their fingers interlocked tightly.

'Paris, or your apartment?' asked Ziva. Tony chuckled and kissed the top of Ziva's head.

'My apartment, though I'm glad you remember Paris.' Ziva chuckled.

'I will always remember Paris' she said quietly, gazing up at Tony. 'It meant a lot to me. Still does.'

Tony pulled Ziva towards him, kissing her temple again. So much had changed since that trip to Paris. The first time they had crossed the line, even if it didn't led to an actual relationship, it was a memory they both held dearly.

'What about our first time?' asked Ziva.

'Just thinking about it' said Tony. 'The way you threw yourself at me.'

Ziva shifted forward.

'Threw myself at you?'

'You kissed me first' said Tony.

'I seem to recall it was you who took undressed me. Rather quickly, I might add' retorted Ziva.

Tony grinned, raising his eyebrows, and making Ziva laugh in the process. She leaned forward and kissed her husband passionately. So much of their lives now evolved around children, work and household things. When they got the chance to be lovers (which was actually more frequent than one might think), Tony and Ziva relished it. They had known each other for fifteen years, and yet for the majority of that time they had been colleagues and friends. Apart from Paris 2011.

Paris 2011 had been a turning point for both of them, but for Ziva more. Tony reckoned he had never seen her so excited when they were given the assignment. They spent more time in an airport or on a plane than in Paris, but it had been too long since Ziva had been excited about anything.

In the months since her rescue, Ziva had rebuilt relationships with friends and colleagues, but the idea of dating and sex somewhat terrified her. Callie had been a good sounding board. She reminded Ziva that everything was in her power, and if she didn't feel like she was ready, that was fine.

In the hotel in Paris, and after a couple of glasses of wine, the walls Tony and Ziva had created came down a little and they ended up sleeping together. Ziva had heard Tony boast about his abilities in bed numerous times in the squad room, but the way he made her feel that night, after experiencing so many terrible things, made Ziva feel more like a woman than ever before. She had a positive sex experience with someone she trust implicitly and began to trust herself within that area of her life again.

Back in the present, Ziva kissed Tony, her now husband passionately.

'Thank you' she whispered.

'What for?' asked Tony.

'Everything' replied Ziva. 'You are an incredible man, Anthony DiNozzo, and I am very lucky to call you my husband.'


The next morning, Tony woke up to find Ziva curled up against him. After six years of sharing a bed together, they didn't always wake up like this, but it was nice when it happened. Last night, Tony and Ziva poured their hearts out to each other, reminding themselves why they loved each other so much, why they were attracted to the other so much.

Tony softly stroked Ziva's arm, and she started to stir.

'Morning sweetcheeks' said Tony softly in Ziva's ear. Ziva giggled quietly.

'Good morning.' She rolled over to face Tony. 'Last night was fun.'

'Yes it was. We should do it more often.' Ziva laughed again.

'We do it pretty often' she pointed out.

'True' said Tony. 'But I think we can do more.'

He leaned forward and their lips met again. Hands started to roam and Ziva was just about to move her leg over Tony when their bedroom door opened.

'Ima, Daddy.' Tilly came running in before climbing onto their bed.

Tony and Ziva sprung apart, pulling the bedcovers up a little.

'School!' cried Tilly, bouncing up and down a little on her knees. Tali and Tilly had finally been given a return to school date, which was a couple of days ago. Both of them had been so excited, especially Tilly who had started getting up far earlier than was necessary.

'Do you want breakfast?' asked Ziva.

'Yeah, breakfast' said Tilly, still bouncing. Ziva got out of bed, put on her robe and took Tilly downstairs.

Tony flopped back down in bed. Watching his wife and their youngest daughter, Tony couldn't help but think how lucky he was.


Thanks for reading. I hope you liked it.

I wasn't planning this chapter but when I started writing it, I really enjoyed it. It's shorter than normal, doesn't really do anything to the plot, is purely a filler chapter but just a bit of fun. I love writing Moments 3 and other domesticated Tiva, but I do miss writing stories about when Tony and Ziva realise their feelings, or finally get together. The chapter I had originally planned will be next.

Stay safe and see you soon :)
