NCIS, A YEAR LATER
Tali, Ziva, Tony and McGee were all laughing as they got off the elevator. "I am so not telling, you have to tell." Tali pointed at Tim.
"Gibbs will kill me, well probably not as bad as he killed Tony."
Ziva smiled and looked at the two, McGee had actually asked her sister on a date and they had a wonderful time and things flourished. It had only been on their six month anniversary that McGee asked Tali to marry him and she agreed. Tony admitting having McGee as a brother-in-law would not be as bad as it could be, as she was engaged to Tony.
"Hey Zivy, double wedding." Tali looked at Ziva, "we dreamed of it as girls, we could have a double wedding."
"What's this about weddings I hear?" Gibbs came into the pen, "McGee did you ask my daughter to marry you?"
"I said yes Papa, he is better than a Mossad officer, yes?" Tali looked at Gibbs and he smiled, nodding.
"Very well, might as well give both of you away at once so I don't have to do it twice. Carry on, I'm going to get coffee."
Tali made her way to the desk that now occupied the corner opposite of McGee and beside Gibbs, as they had rearranged the bullpen.
"Excuse me," they looked up to see Vance. "Girls, I have horrible news…the Director of Mossad is coming here, he'll be here in…" the elevator pinged and instantly Ziva had Tali beside her, Tony stood beside Tali as well and McGee beside Tony.
"We go as a family or not at all." Tali looked at them and they all nodded as Eli David came into view, Amit Hadar with them and two other officers.
"Eli, why the army of Mossad officers?" Vance looked at him and he smiled.
"I am the Director of Mossad, you keep guards as well." He turned to his guards and motioned, they left and all that remained was Eli and Amit. "I see my lovely daughters are thriving…Ziva, Taliyah…come."
"Who the hell allowed that son of a bitch into this building?" They heard Gibbs as he raised his voice and came from where the stairs are located. He walked past Eli and Amit to his team and his 'daughters.' "Are you two alright?"
"Yes, you worry so." Ziva smiled, "I was trained by Mossad and you and Tali can defend herself."
"Just making sure, remember…"
"Rule 6: Never run, it's a sign of weakness, stand your ground till the end." They all spoke before finishing. "Yes we know."
Gibbs nodded, "good, now proceed." He went to his desk and sat down, allowing everything to continue.
"Ziva, Taliyah…come."
Tony whispered to Ziva and she put a hand up, "we will be fine Ahuvi, we will be…we are NCIS agents."
"McGee let her go; I'm going to love seeing this debate."
McGee looked at Tali; she placed a hand on his cheek after kissing it. "I will be fine Ahuvi, I am who I am. I was rogue for nine years, traveling through the Middle East, this will be a piece of pie."
"Cake." Tony, Ziva and McGee corrected her before she smiled, nodding.
Both women walked toward Eli, he put his arms out and they stopped short. Ziva and Tali looked at each other before talking together. "Speak!"
Eli folded his arms, "you two always did make sure it was two against one."
"In our family, those are odds of survival…however trust and faith are two that do not exist between us. You knew where the bomb would be, I went to save a boy and yet you did not discourage me." Tali looked at Eli, "but I lived and yet to everyone I was a traitor…all except our family who believed me a good compassionate child who suffered due to your misdeeds."
McGee looked at Tony, "damn she's good."
"Shut up, I want to watch this without commentary." Tony eyed the two ladies that would be their wives.
"However the Lord works as he always does, without telling us what we are to suffer for. I however know what you suffer for…murder, death and lies. Your punishment I have discovered is that your only living children are not Israeli anymore…we are American, Israeli-American NCIS agents. You lose us and our loyalty…that is your suffrage. I have a father and he has taught me more than anything you could, as he taught Zivy. We have considered it, Zivy and I have decided to disown you."
"If you disown me, you disown all that you are."
"All that we were." Ziva spoke that time, "in Somalia, in that cell where I was tortured and raped, I lost being Ziva David…I became who I am, a woman who has a soul and is kind and listens. I do not play with knives or guns anymore, I spend time with my family. I just decorated my child's nursery…I am to be a wife and a mother…and I am NCIS. I am not your daughter and I am not Mossad, I am however part of a family…not that you understand."
"You understand loyalty, death, orders…not family or love. To you love is a useless emotion but to me and Zivy," Tali turned and looked at Tony and McGee, "its family. We are Americans now and no longer part of you or Mossad…we are part of this. I am sorry to say this but…" she looked at the ground and spit at Eli's feet, "I disown you as my father, I am Taliyah Hannah Yosef bint Leroy Jethro Gibbs."
She walked away and Ziva smiled, spitting at Eli's feet. "I disown you as my father, I am Ziva Rachel Yosef bint Leroy Jethro Gibbs."
She turned away as well and went after Tali, Tony and McGee folded their arms and looked at Eli with smiles.
"Guess American women can be just as big a pain in the ass as Israeli." Tony laughed and turned, "come on Probie."
"Coming, where's Tali?" They left and Gibbs stood up, he looked at Eli and Amit.
"Leave before I escort you out personally."
Eli pointed to Gibbs, "you have done this…my only children have disowned me because of you."
"Me, you did that yourself by not saving Tali and making Ziva into a ruthless killer. Get him out of here."
