The underlined words are ASL (American Sign Language) the words in italics are another language (English written but not said) which I will specify. This is set in season 7 of NCIS after they rescued Ziva and she's a full agent. Also, set in seasons 3-4 of Criminal Minds. Disclaimer I do not own criminal minds or NCIS.

Dave closed the door behind the two of them as they walked into his office.

Emily sat down next to him on his couch, "sorry I flipped out on there."

"You had every right to."

"Yeah but now I'm embarrassed because I did it in front of everyone." Emily pulled her legs to her chest and got comfortable.

"And by everyone you mean...?"

"The NCIS team."

Rossi gave her a sympathetic look, "you know just because you're starting fresh doesn't mean that your past will leave you."

"I know I just wish I could forget it all. You guys were my family and then everything changed. It all happened so fast."

"Kid, I know the past can hurt but you can either run from it or learn from it. Don't let the BAU's mistakes bring you down. You are one hell of an agent and NCIS is lucky to now have you." Rossi smiled at her, "just know we will always be here for you."

"Thanks, dad." Emily talked the last bit to him in Italian.

"Why do you always call me that?"

"What? Dad?," Rossi nodded at her question, "well I guess my father was never there for me but in some ways you were. You are a father to me Rossi and nothing will ever change that."

"Good because I don't think I would survive losing you again."

Both of the agents stood up and hugged each other, Emily let a few tears slip as did Rossi, "I love you dad."

"I love you too kiddo." Rossi pulled away and smiled at the younger one.

"Okay," Emily let out a breath and cleaned her face. "Let's go, I don't want anyone to kill each other in there."

"You're right, I bet you can cut the tension with a knife." Rossi chuckled.

The duo walked back to the conference room, it looked as if no one had moved an inch, Emily cleared her throat, "okay um. I'm sorry it had to be this way but we have to get going now."

Nobody said a word as they left the room, "I'm sorry Emily." Ziva said as they all stood in the middle of the bullpen.

"Why? You all did nothing wrong, the opposite actually. Thank you all for being here for me." Emily smiled as she looked from one agent to all the rest.

"Well, you do know what our team motto is right?" Tony asked.

"How could we forget?" Gibbs rolled his eyes jokingly.

"Are we going to do this everyday now?" McGee asked.

"Only on special occasions. Oh, and when we solve cases!" Tony explained.

"Such fun." Ziva had a straight face but if you correctly read her you could see the amusement in her features.

"I've only been with you guys for a few days and it already feels like I'm the happiest I've been in a while. Thank you all so much for taking me in not only as an agent but as a family member too." Emily said tear-eyed.

"Well it has been a while since our family has felt like family so, thank you Emily for making our family whole again." Ziva thanked Emily.

Emily gave Ziva a huge smile as she wrapped her arms around the woman, "I have a feeling this is the start of a great friendship." Emily whispered into the ear of Ziva.

"I agree." Ziva whispered back in Hebrew.

Emily and Ziva held onto each other's sides as they can apart from the hug, "I really love you all already."

"And we love you Em," McGee replied happily.

"GROUP HUG!!" Tony yelled as loud as he could.

They all crowded each other as they came together in a sloppy hug, "team NCIS," Gibbs whispered.

"Team NCIS." Tim whispered.

"Team NCIS." Tony whispered.

"Team NCIS." Ziva whispered.

"Team NCIS." Emily whispered.

The BAU agents had watched the entire interaction within the windows of the conference room, "we fucked up." Morgan said what they were all thinking.

"Yeah, we did." Garcia was sad that her friend couldn't even find comfort within the team.

"Took you all long enough to realize." Rossi said walking out and into his office.

After leaving FBI headquarters Gibbs and his team headed straight to his house to get settled in.

"Thank you for letting me stay here Jethro, i really appreciate it." Emily smiled.

"We're a team, it's what we do. Is it okay if you and Ziva share a room, and a bed?" He asked.

"We shared a couch last night, pretty sure we got this handled." Ziva joked.

"Yes we do!"

"I'll just go ahead and put these up there," Tony grunted as he hauled their bags up the stairs.

"Thank you Tony!!" Emily yelled after him.

"You're not welcome!"

Emily rolled her eyes and sat down on the edge of the couch next to Ziva, "I have the biggest headache on earth!"

"Maybe you should go to the doctors," McGee suggested.

"It's just part of the concussion, it's no biggie," Emily downplayed.

"Here," Gibbs handed Emily two pills and a glass of water, "Ibuprofen."

"Thank you!" Emily took the two pills and relaxed.

"So how will the bullpen look, like with a new desk?" Tim asked.

"Well since Emily and Ziva are both liaisons their desks will be connected at the front, we will take down the wall of the single cubicle. Tim's desk will be across from Tony's, where Ziva's is now." Gibbs explained planning it out in his head.

"That sounds nice, not to much of a change."

"I'm just happy I won't be the only woman on the field team anymore," Ziva smiled.

"Yesss!!" Emily praised, "I cant wait to start working! I'm so excited!"

Emily laid down on the couch, she put her head next to Ziva's lap and got comfy.

"Oh no no no no no if you're going to sleep there is a bed upstairs." Gibbs scolded.

"Okay, okay," Emily stood up and reached for Ziva's hand, "you coming with precious?"

Ziva smiled at Emily's flirting and took Emily's hand, "why yes, of course!"

The two girls walked up the stairs and closed the door to their room. The men admired their relationship and went back to their own business.

A/N- The desks are set up how they were when Quinn was there. So Tony stays where his desk is, Tim is where Bishop is, and Ziva and Emily's desks are Quinn's and Torres'.
