Here it is, everyone. The final chapter. I know that I'm not the greatest writer with the freshest ideas, but I'm a beginner and I'm glad that you have so patient with me (Even though my tardiness with the chapters probably annoyed most of you) I'm also glad that you all have stuck with me since the beginning. For that I'll always be grateful. Thank you all.
"We need to find this bitch and we need to find her now" Kate muttered. She had just returned from the hospital, where Ziva was put under a medically induced coma. Ziva suffered major blood loss. The night before, when Kate received Ziva's phone call, she rushed to the apartment. But it was too late. Ahmed was gone, and Ziva was on the floor, bleeding. Castle was right behind her, he saw Ziva, called 911, and ran to check on the girls. They were in their room, asleep. When he came back, Kate had Ziva's phone in her hand. "Castle," Kate said. "We got a confession from Ahmed. Ziva left her phone on and recorded everything." By then, the paramedics arrived and began wheeling an unconscious Ziva out of the loft.
"Beckett," Gates called from her office. "Where are we with Ahmed?" Beckett replied. "We have a confession, all we need is to find her." "I have a contact at Interpol, they have her in custody." Kate stared. "When did this happen? How did this happen?" Gates sighed. "They had an agent trailing her for the past month, but lost sight of her the week Ziva was attacked. They found Ahmed conferring with an associate from China in downtown Brooklyn."
"She couldn't have gone withouta fight, it seems as if it would go against her." Beckett pointed out. Gates scoffed, "She fought, alright. She managed to put another agent in the hospital." "Where is now? Can I speak to her?" Gates sighed. "Beckett, she's being sent back to Israel. They'll incarcerate her there." Beckett was fuming. She wanted to see look on hat bitch's smug face when Kate finally put her away. "I'm sorry Kate, but there's nothing I can do about it. I think it's time for you to go home and be with your girl." "Thank you sir, I will." Beckett said before leaving her office. Beckett explained everything to her team and they all went home.
Kate decided to bring the girls to see Ziva. She wouldn't know that they'd have been there, it would be nice for Tali to see her mother. It bothered Kate that Talia spent the past couple of days without her mother. Tali understood that something bad happened to her mom, and Kate couldn't do anything to soothe her. Taking the girls to see Ziva may be one thing that would help them. Castle tagged along as well. When they got to the room, Castle took Liz to the cafeteria to give Talia and her mom some space. Kate placed Tali on Ziva's hospital bed, aware of the wires surrounding her. Tali looked down at her mom, she hugged her and kissed her cheek. Ziva stirred. She opened her eyes to see her daughter, next to her, sitting and watching. Ziva started to cry. She didn't want her daughter to see her like this. It was scary to see your mother on a hospital bed, weak. She thought about the woman that put her in the hospital. She was going to pay for this once Ziva got out. She saw Kate standing near watching them with an amused expression. Kate explained what had happened with Ahmed and how she left to Israel. Kate heard someone clear their throat behind her. She turned around to see Tony standing in the doorway. "Tony!" she ran to him and hugged him. He looked up to see Ziva staring at him. "Hey Katie bear, I'm sorry. For everything." She smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "It's okay" she told him. "I'll leave you two alone, come on, Tali." Ziva held her, "No, I want her here" she croaked. Kate nodded and left, closing the door behind her.
When Ziva saw Tony, her heart leapt. It was finally time to talk about everything. It may not be the best timing but it would have to do. "Hey Tali" Tony knelt and greeted her. "Uncle Tony!" she leaned over and reached for him. He lifted her up and held her. He looked over at Ziva, who was watching them, looking content. He sat on a chair keeping Tali on his lap. "Hi" Tony said to Ziva. "Hello," she replied. "Looks like you've gotten yourself in a situation here, Ms. David." Tony told her. "Stop Tony, don't make me laugh. It hurts." He stopped and sat up straighter. "Why didn't you come with me?" he asked. "What stopped you? Was it someone else? Tali's father? You should've told me. I've spent two years thinking about what I could've done to change this. To make you stay. Turns out, it wouldn't have mattered because you didn't care. About me, about Gibbs and McGee, everyone at NCIS. How could you?" He didn't realize he was crying until he felt Tali touching his tears. "Tony, you idiot." Ziva told him. "We've worked together for almost ten years and you've thought I've never loved you? I've watched you grieve over Caitlin, I've watched you fall in love with Jeanne. You thought that I was just another bystander. It hurt. So instead I turned to my own relationships. Michael and Ray were only distractions. I loved you and only you. How dare you think that Talia is not your daughter because she is. I was scared when I found out I was pregnant. I had no idea what I was going to do about it. So I decided not to tell. It would've ruined you. So how dare you think that I never cared. Everyone at NCIS is my blood family. I always cared and I always will." Ziva was fuming. The nerve of him. Tony looked down ata now sleeping Tali in his arms. "She's mine?" he whispered and kissed her forehead. He looked up at Ziva. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I wish you told me. I would've never left. I love you. I always have and always will." He stood up and kissed her, on the lips. "I love you so much" he told her.
Kate met Castle in the cafeteria. She picked up Liz and held her. "You'll never believe who I just saw." she told Castle. "Let me guess, Tony?" he asked. "How could you have known?" she asked him. "I called him right after they rolled Ziva out of the loft. He deserved to know." Kate looked at him, "I love you."
