It was Saturday, the day Rina was leaving for Tel Aviv. She had said her goodbyes to the team on Friday when she went to NCIS with Ziva. Now her mother sat on her bed, silent tears running down her cheeks. Tony walked into the bedroom laughing at something that Rina had said; he had come over with Rina and Ziva after work last night to go to the airport with Ziva.

"Ziva…Rina is rea…" He stopped short when he noticed the tears. He crouched in front of her "Ziva"

"What?" she asked a little too harshly. Tony looked to the floor, and back at her. "I'm sorry…I just…"

"I know…you are going to miss her, so am I" Tony said taking Ziva's hand and lifting her off the bed. Just as she moved into his embrace Rina walked in.

"Oh Sorry…I didn't mean…" Rina stuttered.

"Its Okay…she's crying" Tony said gesturing to her mother. She smiled and moved forward.

"Ima…I will see you again…please do not cry. You are going make me cry" with that her tears flowed freely. Ziva got of Tony's embrace and hugged her daughter.

"Erm…ladies, we are going to be late if we don't get going. You can put on the water works in the car." He said trying to lighten the mood. Rina moved out of her Ziva's embrace to hug Tony. Catching him off guard, Ziva wiped her tears with the ends of her sleeves and smiled.

"I am going to miss you too Tony" She mumbled into his chest, he awkwardly hugged her back.

"Me too Rina…me too Rina, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here right now, with your mum." He said, Rina moved of his hug and smiled.

"I am glad that you are there for her" Rina said.

Tony smiled "I really think we should do rest of the good-byes and water works at the airport though" he said using his index finger to tap his watch.

A good twenty five minutes later they arrived at the airport; Tony parked his car at a parking spot before running to the machine to get a parking ticket. When he walked back he saw Ziva and Rina get out the car smiling, that's a good sign he thought. He displayed the ticket before walking around to get the bags form Ziva's hand. She stared at him.

"I can carry it Tony"

"I know…but…I'd like to be a gentleman and help you ladies" he putting on his boyish grin

"Let me rephrase that 'I will carry it' Tony"

"Fine…c'mon Rina" he said leading Rina towards the airport "Did I do something to piss her off?" he whispered to Rina as they had a head start.

"Nope…she is on her monthlies…her hormones are imbalanced right now" she looked at Tony as she said those words, he was turning red. He looked back at her, the blush still visible on his face.

"Thanks for that" he said smiling at her.

"You are always welcome Tony" Rina grinned. Ziva caught up to them soon after. "Hey Ima, Tony thinks you are mad at him…but erm…I explained your situation" she said winking at her. Ziva laughed.

"Great mother and daughter have ganged up on me. Fabulous" Tony said. He felt Ziva's hand take his and smiled.

They entered the airport, Rina walked forward saying that she would check in and meet them at the café and they went their ways. The partners sat at the café waiting for Rina to arrive.

"Ziva…I'm sure you'll see her again" Tony said as he noticed a thoughtful expression etched on her face.

"I know…It's not that. She is seeing someone called Jacob. She is in love with him, but he had not once said that he loved her…but she says that his actions show that he loves her. I am worried."

"You think he's got an ulterior motive" Ziva nodded. "Have they…"

"No" she knew what the question would be.

"What are you going to do?" Tony asked as he nibbled on his croissant.

"Nothing, I am not going to tell her how to do something Tony. I told her that misjudgement can lead to harm, but I do not know how that will help" she said before taking a sip from her tea.

"If she is anything like her mother…I'm sure she'll kick his ass before he tries to get into her pants" Ziva laughed.

From the distance Rina saw her mother laugh and smiled. She was glad that she was leaving her mother in good hands. She reached them and took a seat next to Tony.

"What is so funny?" Rina asked as she took the croissant form Tony's hand, which earned a 'hey' from Tony.

"Just telling Tony about anatomy of the women's body" she smirked and looked to Tony, whose face was yet again turning red.

"You guys love doing that to me don't you" Tony said accusingly.

"Yes" mother and daughter said together and laughed, their laughter was cut short when they heard the announcement 'Flight AA521 to Tel Aviv is now boarding'

"That's my calling" Rina said as he smiled at her mother. Rina was leaving and there was nothing Ziva could do right now.

"Right…erm. Shall we?" Tony asked; Ziva nodded. He took her hands in his and gave a hand to Rina; to which she smiled before taking it. "Two beautiful women in my life, what more can a man ask for?" the mentioned 'women' laughed.

Ziva stood next to Tony as Rina waved goodbye and disappeared through the gates. She held Tony's hand and stood still, making no effort to move. She didn't know when she would see her daughter again, she really wanted to have Rina beside her at this very moment, but she knew that was impossible. She remembered the day when she had to leave for a mission in the UK, and how easily she had said good bye to her daughter.

*Flashback*

"Rina, I have to go away for a while…you are going to have to stay with Saba" she said looking at her 9 year old daughter.

"Can't I come with you" Rina asked

"I am sorry…you cannot" she said smiling at her

"But you only came back recently" Ziva had been on another undercover operation in Spain, and had come back only a month ago.

"I'm sorry, I have to go" with that Ziva had left to go speak to her father about taking care of Rina, whilst she did her job.

*End*

She was brought forward in time by the voice of her lover.

"Hey…Ziva, she said she'll call you when she lands." Tony said wiping the tears with his thumb. "Let's go home". Ziva smiled as she walked with him to the car.

It had been two weeks since Rina had left. After talking to Rina, they lay curled on the couch, hand in hand, legs intertwined. Watching 'The Notebook'; well more like playing in the background. Tony peppered kisses on her neck; this usually led to sex.

"Not tonight Tony" Ziva said.

"Can't I kiss you without having an ulterior motive" he mumbled into her neck.

"I'm sorry"

"It's okay" Tony said. "Are you okay?" he was sure that she was feeling a little down since talking to Rina. She was quiet for a moment before speaking again.

"When Rina was 3, maybe 4, I would chase her around the house to get her into the bath. I was twenty, barely knew what I was doing…I would suddenly stop, frustrated at myself for not being able to catch a four year old" she stopped and laughed "I would cry…she would see this and walk back to me, take my hand and lead me to the bathroom and she would look at me expectantly, waiting for me to put her in the bath." She laughed and Tony smiled.

"Well…she's the type of girl who looks out for her mother" Tony said.

"Yes, I guess she is. Do you ever think about having your own Tony?"

"That an offer Ziva…because if it is I'll take it, I'm sure Italian and Israeli genes make good babies" he said smirking. She turned around to look at him, narrowing her eyes at him. "Okay…firstly I never thought I'd be in a relationship long enough to actually get married and have kids. But I guess that's different now" Ziva smiled triumphantly, happy with the response she got, she leaned in to kiss him softly to which he responded, the kiss soon heated up. What they forgot was that they had left the door open because it was humid in the apartment and the windows just wouldn't cut it.

McGee and Gibbs stood at the threshold watching the couple make out. Gibbs smirked, he knew it was coming but McGee's jaw hit the floor. If Gibbs hadn't rung the doorbell, one was bound to eat the other's face. Ziva detached herself from Tony and landed on the floor as soon as she saw who was at the door, Tony, who was unaware of their guest, laughed at Ziva.

"We should take it somewhere more spacey" Ziva shook her head.

"We…should…erm see to…our guests first" She said looking towards the door, where her boss and her partner were standing.

"What gue…oh boy" He said as he followed Ziva's eyes.

"Aha" Ziva said. Gibbs and McGee walked forward, smirks plastered on their face.

"Gibbs…erm…we can explain" Tony stuttered as he stood up from the couch and helped Ziva up.

"Don't care what you two decide do in your personal time, as long as you keep it personal" Gibbs said surprising all three agents.

"Oh…right. Why you guys here?" Tony asked. McGee brought forward a stack of folders, handing it over to Ziva. Her cheeks were crimson red.

"Thank you Tim" she mumbled from next to Tony. He raised his eyebrows at McGee.

"Case file reviews…was suppose to bring yours to your apartment…but I guess you just saved us a trip huh?" He said walking out to retrieve Tony's case files. Gibbs stared at the two agents.

"I will go and put the erm…kettle on" don't leave me with him Ziva Tony thought, she walked into the kitchen.

"How long Dinozzo?" Gibbs asked smiling at the agent.

"Oh…ha-ha…about a month now" Tony said.

"It's about time Dinozzo" Gibbs said as he slapped the agent, hard, on the back of the head before settling on the couch.

"Aaaarrg! What do you mean 'It's about time'?" Tony said rubbing the back of his head as McGee entered.

"Really Tony…you know as much as we do how tensed it is when you two are in the same room" the younger agent said as he settled down the files on the coffee table

"That obvious huh?"

"No it wasn't just obvious…it was written for all to read" McGee stated smiling at Tony, he realised Ziva wasn't in the room with them "Where's Ziva?"

"She turned red as a tomato before running into the kitchen" Tony said smiling.

"Shut up Tony" Ziva shouted form the kitchen making the agents laugh. Their boss and co-worker had stayed long enough to finish their coffee and for Gibbs to slap Tony one more time before leaving. 'That was for breaking rule 12' he had said, McGee snickered and followed Gibbs.

As soon as they were out the door Tony, Who made sure the door was closed, kissed Ziva and led her into the bedroom. Tony was about to unbutton her shirt when she stopped him.

"What?"

"I have this strange feeling someone is watching us Tony" Ziva said looking at the window, where the curtains were half open.

"Ziva…we are about to make love…concentrate on that" he murmured into her skin. She looked at him and smirked before finding his lips with hers.

Tony didn't know how right Ziva was. Someone, someone she knew, was watching them make love, he was not only watching he was taking pictures too; they were going to come in handy. Their week was about to take a turn for the worst, and they didn't even know it.

Tony sat at his desk flipping through a GSM magazine, trying not to fall asleep. Ziva looked at him with a worried expression.

"Tony, are you okay?"

"Huh…oh…yeah, I really should try to sleep more"

"I tried telling you that last night, but you would not listen" she said innocently. Tony grinned.

"Yeah, you were hardly irresistible in that dress Zee-Vah" Ziva snickered, McGee like usual ignored the two. They had gone on their official date last night, like always they ended up naked but to Tony's protest; Ziva wouldn't give up with the air conditioner. "Not to mention the buzzing sound of the air conditioner was no help at all".

"I have told you before, I do not like it sweaty" Ziva said checking her e-mail.

"Guys…do you mind?" McGee interrupted. Tony looked to McGee grinned before turning to look at Ziva; who had a solemn expression on her face.

"Hey…you okay?" She was starring at her computer screen, with wide eyes.

"Come over here Tony" she said her voice serious. Tony moved away from his desk and walked to Ziva's and McGee followed suit "No, McGee…stay there". Tony stood behind her desk and looked at her e-mail wide-eyed.

It was a side view showing a picture of Tony and Ziva in bed; the sheet covering their naked bodies, him on top of her, his head in the nape of her neck, Ziva's fingers digging into his shoulder, her head tilted back. Below the image was a caption that said 'I have been watching you Ziva David'
