Thank you for the reviews. I really appreciate them! So the spanking is a controversial topic which I understand. Personally I think that it would be a discipline used by these families, especially the DiNozzo-David household and Gibbs. Since it seems to make some people uncomfortable I will only use it when the kids do something very wrong but may include an occasional swat. I apologize if you disagree but the majority agreed. Also I think that Jenny and Gibbs will have one child but still don't know if it will be a girl or boy. I am leaning towards girls but let me know! I will try to write longer and more and also use different chapter names.

The DiNozzo household:

Ziva first rose at 6 o'clock to a powerful kick. Turning over she saw that Tony was still fast asleep while a lump was formed in between them. She pulled down the covers slightly revealing a snoring Ellie. Much like her mother, Ellie had this loud snore that Alex said reminded him of an elephant. This resulted in teasing from the older two siblings but once Ziva reminded them that she too snores they stopped.

Ziva sat up and swung her legs out of the covers. This caused movement from the young girl before Ziva readjusted her. She walked into the master bathroom running a shower and getting undressed, stepping into the cold water. Even though she has lived in America for years, she still preferred the cold water that she had gotten used to in Israel. Washing her hair then her body, she thought about what needed to happen today. The children have school which means she needs to get them breakfast and help with outfits. Alex needed to apologize to his teacher for his behavior yesterday, which Ziva knew would be difficult for him. Tali had softball this afternoon but her friend Ainsley would be giving her a ride and Tony would pick them up. Ellie didn't have any after school curriculums yet being too young but she had been wanting to play with her friend Kaitlyn forever so Ziva was going to try and make that happen.

Stepping out of the water and getting toweled up, Ziva went to her closet to pick out an outfit. She was working a short day supposedly but it always varied with Gibbs. Now that he had a child, he was much more understanding when it came to needing to leave but Ziva didn't want to make a habit out of it. She had left early yesterday for Alex and was hoping to make up the hours tomorrow but knew she most likely would stay late today. Tony and her were lucky now that Alex was old enough to pick up his sisters from school and then walk home together. It made these days much easier.

She checked back on her husband and youngest and then headed downstairs as quiet as possible. Approaching the kitchen she heads straight to the coffee. Her and Tony relied on it to make it through the day so she started a fresh pot. Ziva pulled out the childrens lunch boxes to double check they packed them right. Alex was missing a fruit so she added it but the girls were good. She decided that pancakes would be a good breakfast so she hurried on that.

Her head whipped around hearing footsteps but it was only her husband.

"Wow, your up early honeybuns," he yawned

She smirked, "Yes well our visitor was kicking just like her father."

"And snoring like her mother!"

Ziva replied with a smack before returning to breakfast. "Please tell Gibbs I may be a little late as I have to supervise Alex's apology. You know If I don't he just will say he did without doing it"

Her husband grabbed some batter and licked it, "Sure no problem. Speaking of Alex shouldn't he be up. It's already 7:00."

"Yes he should but you know how he is. If you want to continue with the pancakes I will wake him."

The couple switched positions and Ziva began to head upstairs. She saw the bathroom light on so that was her indication that someone was up. Lightly knocking on the bathroom door, she heard a small, "It's me, Mama." Which meant Tali was getting ready. It always amazed Ziva how perceptive her daughter was when it came to her knowing who it was. Tali once said that she could tell by how light the steps are which Tony responded with "Just like your mother, a little ninja."

Ziva continued until she reached her son's door. Cracking it open the first thing she noticed was the smell that came along with the mess. Next she saw a foot hanging out from the covers. She sat on the bed and rubbed his back. "Alex, baby, it's time to get up." A groan followed.

"Noooo, Mama. It's way too early." he rolled over and threw the pillow on his head. His mother pulled it back off along with the blankets, "Mama! What the hell?"

Shocked by the language, Ziva swatted his bottom, "Language Alex! I do not care if you are tired, you do not swear!"

He sheepishly replied, "I'm sorry, Mom." And he rolled out of bed, heading to his dresser.

"Hmm, I'll forgive you if you give your Mama a hug." Alex rolled his eyes playfully and made a big show before quickly wrapping his arms around her and dashing to the bathroom. Ziva smiled faintly hearing Alex banging on the door. It was the same routine everyday. Right when he woke up he needed to pee but his sister or somebody was almost always in the bathroom.

She left the messy teenage room and stopped in the hallway to see Alex about to kick the door down. She snapped her fingers, "Aleksandar! Just go use my bathroom before you break the door. But be quiet, Ellie is in there."

Alex laughed hearing his sisters name, "Really? Another nightmare?"

"And whose fault is it that she is having them? Because if I remember correctly, then you were the one playing the game with the guns."

Giving her a cheeky smile, He replied, "While something must be wrong with your memory because I surely don't remember that." And with that he headed to the bathroom.

Once sure her brother was gone, Tali skipped out of the bathroom, knowing exactly what happened on the other side of the door.

"Talia, really? Did you just stay in there to annoy him?" the mother questioned, already knowing the answer.

The eight year old smiled before skipping down the stairs with her mother following.

Tony seemed to have finished the pancakes because he was now heading up to get ready. Swiftly kissing his wife on the cheek and his daughter's head he continued up the stairs.

After thirty minutes, all three kids were at the table eating pancakes. Ellie was still in her PJs but everyone else was ready. Ziva did not recognize Alex's shirt, and neither did Tony, "Hey, son where'd you get that shirt.?" Tony asked.

Alex froze. "Uhm… I don't remember? Maybe it was from Auntie Abby or Jenny?"

Something was suspicious about this response but the parents just shrugged it off because Abby was always shopping.

Once the kids were done, Ellie ran upstairs to put on the dress, Ziva layed out the night before.

There were only about 15 minutes until 8:00 so Ziva started the car before herding the kids into it. Ziva didn't even notice the sad look on Tali's face.

"Mama, why are you driving us? Usually we walk," a confused Ellie asked.

"Because I need to help your brother with something at school." She evenly replied, hiding the anger at the fact she would probably run late.

This excited the little girl, "Can you come to my class too? I want to tell you all about how you are a NCIS agent! Tommy doesn't believe me because you are a girl."

"Sorry, sweetness, but I don't have enough time today, maybe when I pick you up tomorrow."

Ellie sulked but remained silent. Ziva pulled into the drop off before letting the two girls out of the car. Turning to Alex she whispered, "You better have a good apology ready and not stall. I am already late." He turned red and nodded.

Ziva grabbed his arm and pretty much dragged him to the classroom. "Ms. Phillips? My son has something to say to you." The whole class stared at the three while Ziva glared at Alex. He cleared his throat.

"I am very sorry that I was rude yesterday, It was inappropriate to react in the way even though you offended me." He added the last part with a little but of accusation.

The teacher scoffed. "You call that an apology?! That was just straight up disrespectful. No wonder he acts like a hooligan, you just let him. Bad parenting if you ask me!"

Ziva saw red, "Well luckily for you, I didn't ask you! And he received a consequence for what he did but now I am starting to reconsider! You are a old…" she paused and turned to her son, "What did you call her, Alex" he whispered back and finished her sentence,"...hag! I overlooked the fact that you implied that my son was dumb since I didn't want him to think it made his behaivor okay but now I can see that you were in the wrong! I will be talking to the principal later and if I hear you have said anything else to him then I promise you will not step foot in this school!" The teacher looked shocked and didn't recover until after Ziva told her son to sit down and behave before storming out. Alex smiled widely proud that that was his mom before high fiving RJ and turning to stare at his teacher
