Ok so I wrote this at 1am when my wifi hated me and everyone else was asleep so no one to ask for help with wifi that hates me! I hopefully make it up to all the ones that hate me in this chapter but we'll see! Anyway this is probably a really bad chapter so blame sleep deprived me! This is hard to write without wifi because all my other chapters are on my laptop at my dads house and i need to reference to them? And no wifi means no looking them up! I'm legit about to die! I neeeeeeeddddd wifi! Oh and to the guys that don't like this story. Thank you for the constructive criticism of you left some it does help me write better. Oh and Ziva does care about Tony and there is Tiva in this story?
They had driven to the large house that Jenny and Ziva were staying in earlier and now Tony had decided to head downstairs to watch a movie. Crediting it was 1am but he decided that he could just sleep late tomorrow. Earlier he had spotted an unopened multipack of Tayto (I'm Irish so yh I'm not to good at American brands sorry) He was planning to steal the Tayto, settle down in front of the TVs and if he was lucky there would be a Bond Marathon running.
But as Tony crept downstairs he realised something that would majorly wreck his plans. There was a figure curled up on the sofa already. As he came closer he realised it was Ziva. What was Ziva doing downstairs at 1am? He crept up to her and before she could object he plonked himself down on the sofa beside her.
When he saw her in the better light he realised the there was tear tracks running down her face. Ziva?Crying? No that was impossible Ziva never cried.
Tony looked at her silently asking with his eyes what was wrong? Ziva turned away for a moment before she hesitantly said "I had a nightmare." Tony looked at her before pulling her in for a hug "Zee why didn't you wake me." Ziva avoided his gaze for a moment before she said "It's just a nightmare Tony."
Her face said otherwise however and he pulled her in for a hug. As he squeezed her she let out a gasp of pain. He immediately let her go and scrutinised her carefully "Ziva is there something you're not telling me."
Ziva shook her head frantically and yet again desperately tried to avoid his gaze. Deciding he would have to find out for himself Tony pulled her shirt up so he could see her stomach.
He gasped when he saw it! It was covered in cuts and bruises. Some were in the shape of a mans fist. Tony looked up at Ziva who's eyes were swimming with tears. "Ziva how did you get these bruises." Ziva looked at him and when she spoke her voice was hesitant "Harmon he, he used to beat me."
Tony was shocked. Ziva beaten? By a man? "But Zee why did you marry him if he beat you."
Ziva swallowed and looked at Tony "It wasn't like that at the start. He used to be nice when I met him. It was only when I found out that I was pregnant with the twins. At first it was small things just shouting at me and getting angry. But then it turned into beating me over the slightest thing like getting home beyond a certain time. I was going to leave him but then i found out that I was pregnant with the twins and I felt tied to him. I couldn't raise two more children without a father. I had already decided to raise Tali without telling you and I bitterly regret it. I kept thinking that if I had told you everything would be different." Tony opened his mouth to speak but Ziva raised a hand to silence him. "He kept beating me throughout my pregnancy and I was terrified I would lose my babies." Ziva swallowed and when she continues there was obvious pain in her voice. "One day I was bleeding and I had terrible cramps. When I went to the hospital I found out I had been pregnant with triplets but I had miscarried one of them. It was horrible and I wanted to leave him badly but I still had hopes that once he saw his babies he would change." She smiled weakly "I guess I was wrong. As soon as I had the babies he began to hit me harder. He bullied me into marrying him. When we went on the mission we left the children with his mother who had no idea about any of this. As far as she was concerned we were a happily married couple. When he died I was so relieved but then I felt bad. Wives are meant to feel sad when their husbands die not relieved. That makes me a terrible person." Tony look at her disbelievingly "Ziva that didn't make you a terrible person. You're an amazing person. He was a bully." Ziva gave him a small smile in return.
Suddenly a thought came to Tony "Hang on who's looking after the twins while you're here?" Ziva laughed "I've had to bring them with me. They are up in my room." Tony looked at her hopefully "can I see them?"
Ziva rolled her eyes but led him upstairs anyway. Lying there sharing a cot were two girls. They were the spitting image of Ziva right down to her dark eyes. "That ones Ashlyn she said, and that's Jennifer indicating to each twin in turn. After a second of staring at them Tony spoke "I'm really glad they look nothing like Harmon he said indicating to the picture lying carelessly abandoned on Zivas duvet. Ziva gave him that dazzling smile of hers. "I'm glad too." It was only then that he noticed a sparkle in Zivas eyes. Their eyes met and laughing they collapsed on the bed.
Ohhh Tiva! So yeah this was to make up to everyone who hates me! Yes tho is what I wanted to happen all along. Annndddd if you review and follow my Instagram ncis_ziva_ninja I may give you a sneak peek of the next chapter which should be up sometime before next Monday! Oh and Dm if you want a sneak peek! 3
