Olivia Joins the Clan

Abby lay alone in the hospital bed, the doctors had finished checking her out and had finally left her by herself. Just as her thoughts began to settle the door slid open and Elliott Stabler slipped into the room.

"Ms. Scuito, are you able to answer a few questions?"

"I guess, do you know when my family will arrive? Where is Ziva?"

"Agent David is filling out paperwork and contacting your family, she'll be with us soon" Soothed Elliott

As Abby gave her statement Ziva was on the phone trying to soothe her wives as they raced to the hospital. Having assured Jade that all paperwork was completed (so nothing could delay her from reaching Abby) and convinced Jen that Abby was protected (so she wouldn't have to yell at anyone before seeing Abby) Ziva hung up the phone and sat heavily in the E.R. to await the two forceful women.

Elliott was just reading back Abby's statement to ensure he had it correct when he heard female voices being raised just outside of the door.

"I'm sorry Ma'am but I can only let immediate family members in the room" He herd his partner say

"What part of SHE IS OUR WIFE do you not understand?" Jade's voice could be clearly heard through the door

"Truthfully? All of it" Olivia replied

"Ziva… shoot her"

"Jenny!" Ziva and Jade exclaimed

"She is our wife dammit and I want to see her now, if Ziva shooting her gets that done then I'm fine with it"

"Detective Benson, I swear to you that Abby is married to each of us and I would be happy to explain it to you as soon as we are able to check on her" Ziva attempted to keep the peace

"Fine… but both myself and Detective Stabler are staying in the room"

"Agreed" three voices stated in unison

Elliott turned to Abby and had just enough time to not the expression of relief and anticipation before the door opened and she was engulfed by a redhead, a blonde and a brunette.

"Abby" Jade exclaimed as she made a thorough physical investigation of her wife's body.

"Jade honey, she is fine just hold her ok darling?" Ziva explained as she stopped Jade's hands from their dancing inspection.

"Oh Ok" Jade hopped up on the bed and gentled pulled Abby to her until she was settled against her. Jenny climbed up on the other side as Ziva sat on the end of the bed with her hand on Abby's legs.

"Tell us what happened Ma Petit Fleur" Ziva said gently but firmly. Abby glanced at Ziva as Olivia stepped forward to intervene. Elliott stopped her and drew her back against the wall to observe as Ziva expertly pried every detail from Abby until she had cried herself to sleep in Jade's arms.

"Ziva was that strictly necessary?"

"Yes Jenny, she needed to get it out and we needed to hear it so there would never be anything between us" Jenny, Jade and Ziva exchanged a meaningful glance.

"I'm going to find some coffee" Jen stated "Tea, Jade?"

"Yes please, I'm going to stay here and hold her" Jade replied

"Nothing for me…I will guard them" Ziva stated

"If you don't mind I think I'll join you for that coffee" Elliot queried

The three women jumped having forgotten the two detectives were in the room with them.

"Of course, you must be Detective Stabler?" Jen responded

"Yes, my partner Detective Benson will stay here for extra security…. Coffee Liv?"

Olivia was startled out of her reverie as she watched Jade care so completely for Abby. "What?... Oh coffee… yes. Thanks El"

Jenny and Elliot set off in search of beverages as Ziva and Olivia settled just inside the doorway to keep watch.

Olivia snapped her phone shut. "Elsays the café is closed, he and Jenny are headed to the nearest Starbucks"

"Acceptable" Ziva responded softly so as not to disturb Jade and Abby who were sleeping peacefully.

"May I ask you something?" Olivia queried

"You may ask…" Ziva replied, implying that she might not answer

"How did you know what to say to Abby? What she needed?"

Ziva sighed heavily.

"You don't have to answer you know"

" I will answer you, to repay your kindness and understanding for our situation but it must wait until your partner and Jenny are back to watch over Abby. Acceptable?"

"Yes" Olivia and Ziva settled in to await the return of their partners.

"I don't care Jethro, the man is dead, Abby is safe and if anymore family show up they will throw us all out. Just wait until tomorrow"

Ziva and Olivia heard the phone snap shut as Elliott and Jenny walked back through the door

"Gibbs is being a pain?" Ziva questioned

"He, Tony, Ducky, McGee, hell even Palmer want to come down here and form a wall of flesh around Abby. Thankfully I talked them out of it. They will be here first thing in the morning though. … I got you a black Chai by the way. I figured Jade would be asleep or you two could share." Jenny shrugged

"Thank You" Ziva accepted the tea "will you and detective Stabler watch over them?" Ziva nodded towards the bed. "I promised Detective Benson I would explain some things to her privately"

"Of course" Jenny agreed unholstering her gun and settling herself in Ziva's recently vacated chair.

Ziva and Olivia found a nearby empty room, Ziva had settled on the bed with Olivia taking the nearby chair. Both of them were relaxed but alert, a natural state for them both.

"So you, Jenny and Jade are all married to Abby?" Olivia began by expressing her puzzlement

"Legally no, but otherwise yes. It's called polyamory. It means multiple loves. We all love each other, we all live together and sleep together. Jade runs our home and the rest of us support her. There is still room for more lovers but we all have to be in agreement before another individual is added." Ziva paused "Jade is the primary love for each of us though Jenny and Abby do pursue a secondary relationship."

Olivia shook her head. "I think I'll have to put that on the back burner to study up on later, in the meantime will you answer my other question?"

" I was raped when I was captured by enemies in South Africa last year, I Was held captive for 7 months, just long enough to conceive a child and then lose it because of the torture" Ziva took a deep breath "I am stronger than Abby but I still struggle. I wasn't able to fully confide in my wives, they know generally what happened but I will not burden them with specifics"

Olivia wa quiet while she absorbed this information. "would you tell me?" she asked quietly

"To what purpose?"

"It would relieve you without burdening your family. I hear these stories everyday, it isn't a burden for me, its my job."

Ziva looked startled "I'm not sure I can"

Olivia pulled her chair close to the bed in front of Ziva. She gently reached for Ziva's hand and clasped it firmly; "Just start at the beginning and I will ask questions the way you did with Abby"

Ziva nodded, took a deep breath and began her story

*Author's note – for this portion I was inspired by the story "Ziva's Captivity" by maigonokaze I have no affiliation with this author and make no claim to their work nor do I wish to claim any credit but this story inspired this portion and provided and excellent way for me to have Olivia and Ziva connect within this story. Thank You*

Olivia held Ziva as she sobbed, mourning the loss of her child, the subsequent loss of her fertility and the violation of her mind and body. She felt she understood the dynamic between this woman and her wives and coworkers, how deeply she felt for them. Olivia found she was jealous, she longed for what this woman had but lacked the courage to reach for it. As she awed over this inner revelation, thanks to the woman in her arms, Olivia was perturbed to find herself face to face with Ziva's blonde wife.

"What did you do?" Jade demanded

"I listened…" Olivia responded "Abby's statement brought up some issues for Ziva"

Jade's face softened as she reached a hand up to stroke Ziva's hair. "Oh my love, I wish you could talk to us, though I'm glad you found someone to confide in" Jade glance appreciatively at Olivia as Ziva turned in her lap to reach for Jade.

Ziva's sobbing started anew as she wrapped her arms around her wife, Jade began to stroke her hair as she continued to sit on Olivia's lap with Oivia's arm wrapped securely around her waist.

As Ziva's sobbing slowed to a halt Olivia reached behind her for a box of tissues. Ziva raised her head to look at Jade. Jade bent down to bestow a mostly chaste kiss that conveyed all the affection she felt for the woman seated below her. As Jade pulled away from the kiss Ziva pulled her back for a more passionate exchange.

Olivia froze 'Shit! What do I do now?' she thought 'they're practically making out in my lap' Soon though Liv became so engrossed in their kiss she began to feel her lips tingle and her panties got wet. Ziva and Jade only came up for air when they felt Olivia shift below them

"oops" Jade grinned guiltily "Forgot you were there, sorry"

"I don't think we have to apologize my love" Ziva replied

"Well of course we do…"Jade began, then she noticed the hungry look Olivia was giving her lips "if only to apologize for not including her" Jade finished softly

Ziva rose to clean herself up but Olivia was so entranced with Jade she didn't notice. Jade stepped forward to straddle Olivia's legs before lowering herself into Olivia's lap. She watched as Olivia's breath hitched and her tongue snaked out to moisten her lips. Leaning forward Jade whispered "Do you want this?" unable to verbalize a response Olivia simply nodded briefly before Jade captured her lips with her own.

Olivia moaned and deepened the kiss until Jade realized she was kissing the police officer who was investigating her wife's rape. Jade pulled away with a murmured "wow". Olivia whimpered and tried to follow her lips before catching herself and sitting back to breathe.

Jade studied Olivia's face for a second before reaching for Ziva to assist her off of the detective's lap. Taking a deep breath Jade stated "I originally came to find Ziva because our beloved is asking for her; though the make out session was a nice touch." Jade winked at Olivia before turning to Ziva so they could tidy each other up. Olivia sat stunned for a moment before copying the two women and eventually following them out of the door

Upon returning to Abby's room they discovered Jenny had arranged for cots to be placed next to Abby's bed so they could all sleep there.

Abby was released from hospital from hospital almost a week later. Her rapist had done some internal damage that had required specialized treatment. When she returned home she found that Olivia hadn't left Jade's side. It was quickly agreed that Olivia could stay.

"What are you some kind of succubus?" Abby joked

"if that's what it takes to protect my family then I'll gladly become one" Jade grinned

And so life continued with their ever increasing family….
