At NCIS the next day, the team got a hit on the suspects. Grabbing their gear, they headed out to apprehend them. When they got to the scene, they spotted the girls instantly. McGee, who was with his nephew, came walking by the suspects.

"Hi," Emma said stooping down to the boy's height, "What is your name?"

"Stephan."

"Well Stephan, have you seen my little boy? He's about as tall as you with brown hair and has on a blue and white striped shirt and blue jeans and his name is Jordan."

"No I haven't."

"Do you want to help me find him?"

"Okay." The boy replied hesitantly. She was about to take the boy's hand when she heard someone behind her say, "NCIS! Emma Gaines you are under arrest for the kidnapping of three Navy officer's children." She put her hands behind her back and looked at her accomplice and put her head down.

An hour later McGee sat in the interrogation room with Emma. In the other room, Tony and Ziva were watching.

"This woman is nuts." Tony said as he listened to the woman tell what had happened. "She's never going to make it in jail." Ziva looked at him.

"You can't be that hard on her Tony. What would you do if you had a child and they died?"

"Move on."

"It's not that easy Tony." Tony looked at her. Her expression was one of sorrow and anger.

"Tali?"

"I'll go pick up Leah and J." Ziva said and then she left the room.

When Ziva pulled up to the children's school, she realized she was early. She leaned her head on the steering wheel and cried. She hadn't cried like this in years, and it felt good to her. Once the children got out of school, she dried her tears and was about to open the door when she heard familiar voices scream, "Uncle DiNozzo!"

"Tony!" Ziva said when she got out of her car, "What are you doing here? I thought I told you I was picking them up?"

"I figured you needed time alone after what happened today, so I decided to take them somewhere and eat or something." Noticing they were starting to cause a scene, she reluctantly agreed.

Ziva got back into her car and drove off. She could see why Tony was doing this for her, but she wished he wouldn't. Twenty minutes later, she was sitting on her bed with a photo album. In the album she saw pictures of her, Tali, and Ari, they were all smiling and laughing. She stared at the photos for what seemed like ages, when she was stirred by someone, "Ziva, Ziva."

Review you guys, this is the second to last chapter.
