Ziva stood their gawking at her daughter eyes wide.
"Shalom Ziva" she said with a big grin plastered on her face. They had always been more life best friends than mother and daughter. Ziva had told Rina when she was 4, to call her by name; she hadn't been ready for the whole 'mum' part of life. But right now Ziva just stood their looking at her daughter. Gibbs moved around the pair and went to his desk and focused on computer screen and other agents stood their and watched the interaction with small smiles on their faces. Let's see mama Ziva in action Tony thought.
"Rina, what are you doing here? Ziva said pulling her towards her desk.
"Aww…it's so nice to see you too" Rina replied her voice dripping with sarcasm. Ziva heard Tony snicker and noticed that her co-workers were watching her.
"Don't you people have some work to do?" Ziva said, as she stared at Tony and McGee. A stare that clearly said 'clear off or die', they stumbled to their desks and pretended to do their work whilst listening to their conversation.
Ziva turned back to her daughter, her features softening and a small smile playing at her lips. "You know I am happy to see you. Why did you not call me before? I would have picked you up"
"Where is the element of surprise in that? Besides I wanted to be with you on my 17th birthday" Rina said with an answering smile. Ziva looked at her daughter and smiled. Seventeen already, it felt like it was yesterday that she held her in arms as a baby. Ziva smiled sadly at her daughter. She took Rina's hands in hers and turned towards her co-workers, gaining their attention.
"Tony. McGee. Gibbs, this is my daughter Rina" she said gesturing to the teenager beside her. They all smiled at her in response. Rina had gathered that Gibbs was the older gentleman.
"Hmm…thought she'd be a lot younger" Tony commented.
Rina narrowed her eyes at him before asking "Do I look like an aging old woman to you?" Ziva, McGee and Gibbs smirked. One more enemy to add to the list thought Tony.
"Ha-ha…what I meant was I thought you would be somewhere around 10 or 11" Rina just 'hmphed' in response. Suddenly the all too familiar clanking and thudding of boots were heard.
"Where is she? Where is she? Where is she?" Abby stopped dead in her tracks when she saw mother and daughter standing hand to hand at Ziva's desk. Her face brightened, and looked to McGee. "Tim you were right, she is Clone Ziva" Ziva looked towards McGee with raised eyebrows. He flushed under her questioning gaze. Abby walked towards Rina and hugged her, taking Rina by surprise.
"Hi, Abby Scuito, Forensic extraordinaire" she said with a huge smile.
"Rina David, Mossad apprentice" she said with a smile. Ziva just shook her head, she had told her father Rina would choose the life she wanted and that will not be going into Mossad. Her father had said that "I would like a granddaughter who is alive and well at her 25th birthday Ziva" and had agreed with Ziva. But Rina always liked to see herself as part of the Mossad family, even though she had no part in it and she liked to call herself the 'Mossad Apprentice'. Ziva did some Mossad training with Rina, just in case, to protect herself. Mossad bought a lot of enemies; Rina would not be ransom doll for them.
"Ziva why didn't you tell us she was coming, we could have had a welcome party" Abby asked as she turned to look at Ziva.
"I did not know she was coming either Abby, apparently she was trying to catch me off security" Ziva said.
Tony responded immediately "off-guard". Ziva dismissed him with a roll of eyes.
Rina dropped her mother's hand and slid her arms around Ziva's waist and laid her head on her shoulder and Ziva's arms came around Rina's shoulder and pecked her forehead. Rina smiled in response. Abby had a smile that clearly said 'Aww' (A/N: I loved writing this bit)
Ziva realised that her daughter must be tired from travelling Tel Aviv. "Gibbs, may I take the day off? Rina is tired, besides I'd like to get her settled in".
"Go" Gibbs gestured with his hand.
"Man of a few words. I like" Rina said with a wink. Gibbs smirked at her response. The two male agents and forensic scientist looked at her as if she had grown an extra head.
"MA?" Ziva said with shock. (A/N: Ma=What? I think)
Uh-oh "Slicha" she said guiltily. (A/N: Slicha=Sorry)
Ziva just looked her daughter before smiling at her etiquette. "Come on, Let us go. I will see you guys tomorrow". She walked out the embrace and took the suitcases by their handles, Rina walking ahead of her.
"Do you want me to get those" Tony asked. Ziva smiled and replied.
"I have got it. Thank you" She walked into the elevators, where Rina was waiting for her. Tony sat back on his chair as the elevator doors closed.
He had known Ziva was a mother, but had never seen her in mother 'mood'. Tony had a strangely happy feeling that he was about to see more of it, and that he was going to like it. Abby returned to her lab, and all three agents went back to their work. What neither of them knew was that life was going to change for two very special agents.
