Charlie's first week with the DiNozzo's was pretty rough on everyone. Tony and Ziva traded off sleeping on the bottom bunk of Charlie's bed, every night. He had met with Dr. Roshel every weekday afternoon since joining the family. With Tony and Ziva being present for every other session. Not much progress had been made but only five sessions had taken place. Dr. Roshel had shown Tony and Ziva one of Charlie's drawings. Knowing the way he had seen his family more than explained the boy's fears. Some progress had been made on the car front. Charlie would now get into a car but only if Tony or Ziva rode in back with him. At five, four and three months away from twelve. There was not much concern about Marley taking the passenger seat of the van. The next step was getting Charlie over his fears of hospitals and being around injured people. They could give him a pass on being present for the twins birth but knew he would have to face a hospital eventually. As Tony could attest it was better to get over hospital fears before one had to to into the hospital.

"Charlie's appointment is at one today. It's a one on one, so only one of us has to go." Ziva informed Tony.

"I have therapy at twelve thirty. So it's on you." Tony replied.

"Excellent" Ziva replied.

"I have a ball game at two. Who can go?" Marley asked.

"I should be done by one thirty. I can go or I can send Gibbs with a camera." Tony replied.

"Alright" Marley agreed.

According to Dr. Roshel, Charlie had a very good session. He had also rode the entire drive to the office alone in the back. Ziva decided to take him for ice-cream as a reward. She pulled into the parking lot of the Baskin-Robbins and discretely checked the balance on her card. Things were pretty rough with Tony not working and two in therapy, but Tony was about ready to return to the work force. For today she was just glad to have enough to treat both Charlie and Lily to ice-cream cones.

"What are we doing here?" Charlie asked.

"Do you like ice-cream? I want to reward you but we can do pizza if you'd rather." Ziva offered.

"Don't we have Marley's basketball game?" Charlie asked.

"Tony said he could make it and Gibbs went with the camera." Ziva explained.

"Do they have Strawberry? Charlie asked.

"I am sure they do." Ziva replied.

"That's my favorite!" Charlie cried.

Tony pulled into Marley's middle school. He had gotten out of the session just in time to make the game. He had told her that Gibbs was coming to film it. In part because he did not want to get her hopes up, but largely because he wanted to surprise her. He checked in at the office and was given his parent/guardian badge and was escorted to the gym by the resources officer. The process made him ten minutes late but he understood it was for the safety of the children.

"Tony? What are you doing here?" Gibbs asked.

"I got out in time." Tony replied.

"You didn't bail, right?" Gibbs questioned.

"No" Tony replied.

Marley's team won the game ten to eight, Tony could not help but cheer when his daughter made the winning shot. After the game, he ran over to his girl and threw his arm around her. She jumped into his arms and squealed. If Marley kept growing the way she did, he wouldn't be able to pick her up much longer.

"Oh Marley! I am so proud of you!" Tony cried.

"The other girls scored most of the shots. I only made one basket." Marley corrected.

"The winning shot." Tony reminded.

"It really isn't that huge." Marley insisted.

"Trust me it is major." Tony rebutted.

"Whatever but I still say I am part of the team." Marley replied.

"And you are but scoring the winning shot is a dream." Tony clarified.

"I suppose" Marley conceited.

"Want to stop for ice-cream?" Tony offered.

"Sure!" Marley cried.

Ziva was getting ready to leave the ice-cream shop, when Tony texted her. That he was heading to the same place. She replied that she had treated Charlie and Lily to ice-cream. They agreed to meet up but Ziva needed to get a few groceries first.

"Alright! Change of plans. We are going to the grocery store real quick! Then we are going to meet Tony and Marley here." Ziva announced.

"Do we get more ice cream?" Lily asked.

"Charlie does, you do not." Ziva replied.

"Why not?" Lily asked.

"You already had two scoops. Yours and mine." Ziva reminded.

"Oh alright" Lily sighed.

Ziva managed to get the groceries fairly quickly. She did only need three things and it turned out that Charlie was a fantastic help with Lily. After paying for everything they headed out to the car and made their way back to the ice-cream place. They made it out of the parking lot, before Ziva realized she had forgotten her wallet. Dragging the kids back out was not much fun but she didn't feel comfortable leaving them alone. Even though she had scored the closest non handicapped spot. She was standing in the customer service line, when she began to feel light headed.

"Are you OK Ziva?" Charlie asked.

"Fine just a little dizzy." Ziva assured.

The dizzy spell unnerved Tony and Ziva. They ended up skipping Marley's ice-cream and headed back home. Ziva felt a little better by the time they arrived home but still decided to lie down. She woke an hour later to make dinner. She made it to the kitchen before she began to feel dizzy again. Tony rushed to her side and caught her just before she fell.

"What happened?" Tony asked.

"I got dizzy again. It's bad this time." Ziva explained.

"That's it we are going to the hospital." Tony insisted.

"No I am fine. I am..." Ziva trailed off.

"Marley watch your siblings! Ziva's real sick! I'll call Gibbs but I want Ziva to the ER ASAP!" Tony called.
