Yes I'm very bad at updating but I have an unhealthy obsession with pretty little liars and it took over my life! But this chapter is bad and the next chapter will be dramatic and I will include more Tiva romance in the next chapter. Anyway drop a review and tell me what you thought! If you've been reading this story then thank you so so so much! Anyway hope you are all enjoying this it was my first attempt at a NCIS fanfic. I have no idea how many chapters this is gonna end up at probably 20 chapters or something!
Ziva woke up that morning and as she rolled over and looked at Tony's sleeping face she was filled with sadness. Today was the day she would have to say goodbye to Tony.
She would have loved to come back to NCIS or ask Tony to come to Israel. She would have done anything just to see him every day.
But if course she knew these weren't practical. How could they be. Tony had his life and she had hers.
But if course there was an ache inside her. An ache so powerful it felt like part of her was missing. It was because Tali wasn't there. She loved Tony and Tali more than life itself.
Ziva pushed this out if her mind as she began to get dressed that morning. She pulled on her running clothes and grabbing her iPod left the house.
When she returned Tony was sitting up in bed. He smiled as she came in. She felt her heart breaking. She had to tell him the realistic option.
"Listen Tony we need to talk." Why was it so hard to say those words?
Tony shrugged "Yeah anything!"
"We can't be together." She could now feel her heart breaking, splintering into a million tiny pieces.
Tonys face fell. "Why not?"
The answer was so simple, so obvious but it hurt to say it "Because you are in Dc and I am in Israel."
Tony reached forward to grab her arm. "Listen Ziva you could come to DC with me."
Ziva jumped back like she had been burned. Why couldn't he understand. She would give up her life in Israel in a heartbeat but she had to be realistic. It would be hard to get a job in DC and Ziva was defenitley not a stay at home mum.
She shook her head slowly. "Tony that isn't practical. I have twins to think about."
Tony looked angry. "And Talis a little girl without her mum."
Ziva was furious. How did he think that she didn't care about Tali. She had been her life until the terriorists had ruined everything.
"Tony leave it NOW!" Giving him a withering look she left the room.
In a rage she stormed down to breakfast. Jenny and Gibbs were sitting at the Tavel and both looked up as she came in.
She glared at them, daring them to challenge her. Jenny rolled her eyes and turned back to her conversation with Gibbs.
She grabbed an apple and bit into it. Gibbs broke the silence by saying "Our flight leaves today."
Ziva nodded "ok." She saw that Gibbs had expected more of a fight but right now she didn't care. All she wanted to do was get in a plane to Israel. Back home. Back to normality.
She pulled out her phone and didn't bother looking up when Ducky entered the room. He started talking to Jenny and Gibbs all of them reflecting on a mission years ago.
Ziva finished her apple an got up. She had woken up early that morning. It meant that now it was time for the twins feed.
She dreaded heading upstairs and into the room where Tony was bound to be. As she had it luck was on her side.
When she went up Tony was in the bathroom. He was probably botching about her to McGee Ziva thought ruefully. She had messed up big time.
Tony was perfect for her. But they wanted different things.
Ziva stood at the window watching as the chauffeur drive the NCIS team away to the airport. Her flight to Israel was a night flight. It meant that the twins might sleep in the plane as it was a private one.
When she watched them drive away Ziva couldn't help but feel she had made the biggest mistake if her life.
