As soon as Ziva and Rina had arrived at her flat, Rina had zoned out on her mother's couch. Ziva walked into the bedroom and retrieved an afghan and spread it over her daughter's and she pecked her cheek before walking into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

She couldn't believe that her daughter, once a baby girl, was now going to be seventeen. She thought about how she had gotten into this position in the first place.

*Flashback*

"Let loose Ziva, Live a little" Maya said, they were on their lunch break. "It would not hurt for you to miss training for once"

"I do not know Maya…Papa was very strict when he said I could not go…he might get very angry if I sneak out" replied the sixteen year old Ziva. Maya was having her sixteenth birthday party at local renting hall. Almost half the school was invited. Ziva had asked her father if she could go, but he had told that she had training that day and she shouldn't miss it.

"At least you will think about it" Maya asked hopefully.

"Okay"

Ziva was very angry with her father; he had said no again when she had asked him. She had told him that it was her best friend's birthday party; he had merely said there will be more birthdays for Maya.

She was going to have her way no matter what. She wore a dark green dress that was just below her knee, her hair hanging down in curls, and a pair of black sandals. She walked to the backyard, looking around to make sure there was no one there, watching her. She went out the backyard gate, onto a road that connected to the main road. She walked steadily towards the high street, turning left and right before she reached the party. It had already started; she entered and was welcomed with a warm hug from her friend.

"Thank you so much for coming Ziva" Maya said, thinking that she will have to thank Mr. David for allowing Ziva to come to the party, clearly not knowing that Ziva had sneaked out. Ziva couldn't remember the last time she had so much fun, although she was pretty sure the alcohol was snuggled in. What she was not expecting was for her to get drunk?

She had met a boy at the party, Michael, he was handsome, they had talked all night and she had gotten drunk. What she hadn't known was that Michael was known for his playboy ways. Michael had sneakily taken Ziva to a secluded corner before slowly kissing her, she responded without hesitation, she had even giggled. That was all she could remember, before waking up in her bedroom. Her father stood in front of her, eyes dark with anger.

"I told you not to go…and yet you disobey me…if you do that in Mossad you risk your own life…Maya called me, telling me that you are drunk and to come and collect you…I hope you have learnt your lesson" he said as he angrily before walking away.

Ziva was almost 3 weeks late, she was never late. She was now starting to worry that something had happened that night at the party. She had to find Michael. In school later that day, she had confronted him and he had asked if she had enjoyed it last time and wanted more. She stood there shocked as he walked away with a smile. She had gone straight to the pharmacist to buy a pregnancy test.

When she had gotten home that day and gotten two positive results, she sat on her bed crying. She didn't want to become mother, not now. She had to tell her father, he was eventually going to find out. She stood outside his office nervously; she made her hand into a fist before knocking.

"Enter" she hear her father's voice form the other side.

"Shalom Papa" she said as she entered.

"Shalom Ziva, how was your training"

"It went well" she took a deep breath before she continued "I have something to tell you. I am pregnant papa" Eli stopped what he was doing, he was furious. He had dismissed her immediately with harsh words, she ran to her room with tears streaming her face.

She did not come out of her room for tow days, not for breakfast, not for lunch nor dinner. The maids would walk in with her meal, they would return to collect the still full plates. That day Eli David had walked in with her breakfast. He set the breakfast on the table beside her and sat facing her.

"It is not good for the baby if you do not eat" he said, completely surprising her. "I know I was harsh, but I think that is a reaction every father would have. Do you not agree?" Ziva just sat their staring him. "Doctor Levy will be here later to see that you are okay and that everything is fine" he got up to leave before Ziva reached for his hand.

"Papa, I do not think I'm ready" she said hesitantly.

"You are not yekiri. But it has happened and you must accept that" he said kissing her forehead.

And nine months later she held a beautiful girl in her arms, she whispered Rina David in her ears before handing little Rina to her grandfather, who accepted his granddaughter with a smile that Ziva had never seen before.

*End of Flashback*

Ziva smiled at the memory before glancing at the clock. It was 7.30pm; she walked over to the couch to see Rina waking up. She smiled and walked towards her.

"What time is it Ziva?" Rina said with a sleepy voice.

"It is just a little after half seven. Why don't you wash up and we will have dinner" Rina nodded, Ziva smiled and said "Second door to your right". Rina returned minutes later to the kitchen.

Over dinner Rina had asked about McGee, Gibbs, Abby and Tony. She had told Rina how McGee is the computer genius and takes a lot of crap from Tony. Gibbs is the boss, who's looks say more than words and pointing out that like Rina had said 'he was a man of few words'. She also stated that he drank more coffee than necessary and had a signature slap, which she demonstrated on Rina. Abby was the happiest Goth she would see with a really bad caffeine addiction. When talking about Tony, what Ziva hadn't realised was that she had a distant look in her eyes, and a small smile. This is exactly what she told her daughter.

"He is annoying, really annoying and immature. Every situation in life he'll compare to a movie, his number in movie collection is more than his age. He is funny, even in the worst situation he'll lighten the mood. Even though he is annoying, it is the type that you'll miss. He is someone you hate and love at the sane time, not to mention the fact that he is very…" she had stopped short, when she realised what she was about to say to her daughter, who was now grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Handsome, hot, sexy, smart…" she was about to continue when Ziva head slapped her. "Hey…would you quit that" Rina had gathered enough t say that her mother was in love with her partner.

After dinner, Ziva had showed her to the guest bedroom saying that she could sleep in there, but Rina had insisted she sleep with her mother just for a day. They had sat on the couch talking about how Ziva's father was and what Rina had been up to since she returned to America 3 years ago.

It was just after 10.00pm when Rina and Ziva lay in bed. Rina had whispered "I missed you Ima" and Ziva had whispered back "I missed you too" with a kiss to her forehead. Their breaths evened as sleep took over mother and daughter.
