What's Rina got to say to Tony?

Rina David woke up to an empty bed at zero six hundred. She rolled around before finally deciding to get up. She walked into the living room to find her mother taking off her running shoes.

"Boker tov Ziva, still go running huh?" Rina greeted her mother in a sleepy voice.

"Boker tov. Of course; although it is much colder here than it is in Tel Aviv. How did you sleep?" she said making her way towards the bedroom

"Much better than how I sleep in Tel Aviv, but I think that has more to do with you than the country" she said as she followed her mother back to the room and jumping back into bed. Ziva smiled as she walked into the bathroom.

"Yes, I love you too" She heard Rina laugh, as she shut the door.

After shower and breakfast Ziva was getting dressed for work, with a bugging Rina in the background.

"Please, please, please let me come with you, what am I going to do sitting around here?"

"What are you going to do sitting around at NCIS?" Ziva asked as she buttoned up her shirt.

"I can get to know more about what you do, and more about the people you work with" especially a chance to talk to Tony "Beside I have not seen you in a long time Ziva, I am going to spend all the time I can with you" she said with a smile that was just too polite.

Ziva looked at her daughter with narrowed eyes, she knew her daughter well enough to say that she was up to something. "Rina David, what are you up to?"

"What? Nothing…I just want to be with my mother" she said with an innocent expression.

"Fine, but I will have an eye on you" Ziva said pointing her index finger at Rina.

"Thank you Ziva" she said as she smiled contently, as she made her way out of the room.

Ziva arrived at NCIS by 08.30, Rina in tow. They exited the elevator and made her way towards her desk.

"Good morning Tony, Morning McGee" She said as she sat at her desk.

"Morning Ziva…and Rina" McGee replied politely

"Morning Zee-Vah. Didn't know it was 'bring your daughter to work' day" Tony said nodding towards Rina.

"It is not, I do not understand how bringing my daughter to work bother's you" she said staring at him. Tony and Ziva's eye sex didn't go unnoticed by Rina.

Rina looked between the pair before smiling lightly. "Are you guys going to make out any time soon because it would not hurt get rid of all this tension in this room", Tony and Ziva looked away from each other, but the blush that crept Ziva's face was noted by Tony. The look that Ziva gave Rina was enough to send her cringing to a corner, Rina David's smile faded as she mumbled an apology to Ziva, "Slicha" and Ziva looked towards Tony.

"Sorry Agent Dinozzo" Rina mumbled.

"Oh hey…no harm done, and call me Tony" and then he added with a grin "although trying to make out with your mother, would be like trying to climb Mount Everest, a complete death wish" as soon as he said those words, Ziva David's stapler came whizzing through the air towards him. He ducked to avoid the shot. "See? What'd I tell you?"

After the short banter the agents got back to work. Rina David sat next o her mother sighing every so often, annoying Ziva, don't get her wrong she loves her daughter to the ends of the earth. But there's only so much of heavy air being let out by a person every two seconds can be taken by the Mossad Officer.

"Rina, I'm going to go and get some tea, would you like some" Ziva asked patiently.

"No, no, you go ahead" this is my only chance to talk to Tony. She smiled politely at her mother.

"Any of you want anything?" She asked referring to Tony who was busy playing on his phone and McGee working; as usual Gibbs was no where in sight.

There was a chorus of 'no thank you'. Ziva Left the bull pen to go to the local coffee shop, as soon as Ziva was out of sight, Rina made her way towards Tony's desk, she stood in front of his desk, with a smile on her face which was ever so familiar to Ziva's. Tony slowly looked up to meet her eyes.

"What?"

"Can we talk somewhere privately" she asked.

Tony narrowed his eyes at her "Why?" he asked stretching the syllables a little too longer than necessary.

"I want to talk about something. About Ziva" That reason was enough for Tony Dinozzo.

"Erm sure, come on" he led her to the snack room. McGee's eyes followed the two as they disappeared behind the Tony's desk.

Rina sat opposite Tony sipping a bottle of orange juice. She eyed him curiously before she spoke.

"Do you ever get any work done, because for the past three hours all I saw was you swearing at your phone?"

"Ha-ha, I thought you said we are talking about your mum"

"Oh, we will"

"Okay"

"You care about Ziva do you not, I mean as soon as I said 'about Ziva', you were all for talking privately?" Rina said with an unreadable expression. Tony was taken by the question.

"Yes, she is my partner after all. My turn to ask you a question, Why do you call her Ziva" Tony asked looking at her.

"Is that not her name?"

"I know…but don't you call her 'mum' or a Hebrew substitution for that"

Rina smiled before answering "She wants me to call her Ziva, at times we are more like friends than mother and daughter. You are probably wondering why? As you know she had me when she was 16, she wasn't ready to become a mother and I guess if I did call her 'ima' it would make things seem surreal. Besides she is Mossad, they don't expect to have families"

"Sounds like the Ziva I know" Tony said with a smile.

"One thing I know is that I have not seen Ziva so happy in a long time. Every time we spoke on the phone she does not shut up about how annoying and immature you are, how much you make her laugh and how…she's going to kill me for telling you this…but I know for a fact that my mother is in love with you Tony and I can tell that you love her too. What is stopping you?"

Tony laughed nervously before adding "Rina I think you are reading too much into a phone conversation, besides I'm not the type of man your mother needs. She needs someone who is committed and I'm…wow! I can't believe that I'm actually sitting here and talking to a sixteen year old about my relationship with her mother"

"But Tony you make her happy, can't you see that? After her last relationship with that bastard, she deserves happiness. She has been through enough. It won't hurt to try, and I know that she is waiting for you to make that first move"

"What bastard?" concern in his voice.

"It's not my place to tell"

"Oh really…it's your place to tell me all the rest"

"Listen Tony, Ima is the sort of woman who is independent but that does not mean she has to be alone. Last night I asked her about everyone in the team and when she was telling me about you, she got a distant look in her eyes and a smile that I've never seen before. It was a smile of content. Please Tony; it would not hurt to try"

Tony's expression was serious; he was deep in thought. He looked at her face, a sad expression etched. "If I had known it'd take a sixteen year old girl to talk me into a relationship, I would have done that the first time I saw your mother."

Rina laughed, "Do not be silly Tony; she would have kicked your sorry ass if you had tried to flirt with her"

"How does that change now Rina?"

"…because she has got to know you better and shares the same feelings as you" she smiled, happy with her answer.

"Okay, those are all fine and dandy, but do me a favour" Tony said with a smirk.

"What?"

"PLEAE use contractions" Tony said emphasising the word 'please'

"What are contractions?" Rina asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"You know what, forget I said anything" Tony said as he stood up from his seat.

"Okay…but do NOT forget anything I said" she said as he followed him back to the squad room.

Ziva David was back within 20 minutes, and had not seen her daughter and Tony since.

"McGee, do you know where Rina is?" Ziva asked a tinge of concern evident in her voice.

"I saw her leave with…" McGee was interrupted by the laughter coming from behind Tony's desk. Rina and Tony walked into the squad room his arms around her shoulder and laughing about something which seamed really funny, and stopped short when they realised the occupants of squad room were staring at them.

"What?" they said at once.

"Where have you been Rina? I come back to an empty chair beside me"

"Oh…I was just with Tony" Rina said.

"What were you doing with Tony?" a full on suspicion evident in her voice.

"We were just talking about…stuff…" Tony just stood there with a knowing smirk.

"Rina David, I know when you are lying and you are lying now"

"I am NOT" Rina said innocently "Okay, I'm having uhm boyfriend troubles and…erm who better to ask than a man, Yes?" Ziva David was not convinced; she'll have to threaten it out of Tony because, as far as Ziva knew Rina didn't have a boyfriend and if she did Rina would've told her. Ziva smiled thinly at her daughter before her eyes landed on Tony's face. Time to threaten someone.

There will be 'bonding' with other characters. Abby, McGee, and Gibbs and not to forget Ducky along the way….Please review… I'm not getting enough reviews. It's making me think people don't like my stories…
