Here you are, third chapter of the night!!
It had been two years since the Mitch incident. Two years since Tony got shot twice. Two years since Ziva endured heartbreak twice, but it had only been a year and a half since he proposed, a year since they had been married, and a year since they had become parents.
"Daddy!" A beautiful girl ran up to one Anthony DiNozzo, grabbing his pant legs, wanting to be picked up.
"Hey, Sophie! How's my little girl?" He picked up his daughter and twirled her around, making an adorable and infectious laugh escape her lips. "Did you leave Mommy behind?" he asked when he stopped spinning her.
"No." she said, shaking her hair and making her brown pigtails shake. "Mommy fell behind!"
"Mommy was left behind to carry Alissa. Abby had to work and did not want her to be in the lab with all of the chemicals so now I am babystanding." Tony laughed and then shifted his daughter on his hip so he could kiss Ziva.
"Eeew!" he smiled against her lips when he heard his daughter. "You guys promised! Not while I'm here!" They broke apart and Ziva rubbed her daughter's hair.
"We're sorry, Sophie. No more promise breaking." Tony said, holding up his hand to show he meant it. Sophie smiled and then snapped her head up when she heard the elevator ding.
"Gampa!" she screeched, loud enough to rival Abby, and began to wiggle, trying to get down to go see Gibbs.
"Okay, okay." Tony put her down and she began to run toward Gibbs who crouched down to her height. "You'd think he'd be mad at being call old enough to be her grandad." Tony whispered to Ziva who laughed and snuggled into Tony's arms, carefully minding the baby in her own. They admired their little girl as Gibbs sat on the floor of the bullpen crosslegged, and began to feircly tickle the her in his arms. She shrieked in delight, causing Jenny to walk out of her office, a pair of toddlers, a girl and a boy, walking out with her.
"Jethro, what is all this noise?" she said, laughter in her voice as she rested a gentl hand on her pregnant belly. "Ahh, now I see, torturing the young one!" They all laughed as she made her way down the stairs, the Gibblets following closely.
"Just because we decided to stick with one for now, doesn't mean you can pick on ours." Tony told her, trying to hold back his laughter. His daughter's laugh had always been as infectious as his. Jenny waved his commment away, ignoring the fact that her and Jethro loved having babies in the house so much.
"Gamma!" Gibbs had stopped tickling her by now and she got up and ran to Jenny almost knocking her down with the force of the hug she put on her legs.
"Sophie, say hello to your cousins as well." Sopie looked back to acknowledge her mother and stuck out her tongue at her.
"I was about to, Mommy." She noticed the look on her father's face, the slightly raised eyebrow that she took as her warning that she had done something wrong. "Sorry Mommy."she mumbled getting a laugh from everyone around them. "Hi Danny, hi Anne." she said to her 'cousins'. She was imediately tackled in a hug by the older pair, which turned into a small wrestling match with the three.
"I always did say she got Ziva's...spunk." Jenny said, causing Ziva to smile triumphantly. Tony had been saying that his daughters fighting 'skill' was all his. He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, Mommy wins."
"Always." Ziva said proudly before leaning in to kiss her husband again, stopping him from continueing his argument. He whrapped an arm around her, minding the baby on her hip who started to wake up at that exact moment. Tony groaned into the kiss and broke apart.
"Time to call Abby up."
"No need, I'll take her." McGee came walking over and took the baby out of Ziva's arms. "Thanks for watching her Ziva."
"It was no problem, Tim." She moved to sit on the floor with the children and smiled happily when Tony joined her, sitting behind her with his arms around her waist. He placed a kiss on the back of her neck before resting his chin on her shoulder.
"How was the doctor?"he whispered into her ear. She had been to her anual physical that morning, before she came to work.
"Well, we may not be able to catch up to Jenny and Jethro anytime soon, but we are not far behind." she turned her head towards him and he spun her slightly in his lap.
"Really?" he asked quietly, thinking he hadn't heard right. She smiled and nodded, a tear falling down her cheek. He laughed and kissed her, falling back on the floor and pulling her with him. He felt small hands on his arm and broke away to look at his daughter.
"Are you okay Daddy?"she asked and Tony smiled.
"That depends, do you want to be an older sister?" she cocked her head slightly and then smiled.
"YEAH!" she yelled and then awkwardly hugged her parents. Gibbs and Jenny looked at them with smiles.
"See, DiNozzos, you're catching up!" They all laughed again when the elevator opened and Abby came walking out, her platforms replaced with a pair of black flats with skulls on them, a bright red binder clutched to her chest.
"I finished it!! The picture album of all the couples, I finished it!! I'm still working on the kids' one though."she showed them all the binder full of photos, one of the first was Ziva asleep in Tony's arms on his hospital bed. They all looked through some of them before Ziva looked up.
"Abby, you may have to add in a new part in the kids binder." Abby's head snapped up, and her eyes grew big.
"Oh my gosh, are you serious?" she asked, her voice raising in pitch as she spoke. Ziva nodded and Abby screamed, causing everyone to cover their ears.
"Yay! Another NCIS baby!" They all smiled and Tony took the distraction of Abby arriving to kiss his wife again, strangley finding having been shot the first time to be not that bad. Without he may not be kissing the love of his life, pregnant with another of his children as his first daughter tackled them along with a pair of Gibblets followed close behind, attacking the parents that were closest to the ground. Definately worth it, he thought, happier than ever.
Not my best, I have to say, but my cousin wouldn't let me put out the chapter I had written where Tony dies and Ziva kills herself because she can't live without him. I hope you like it though. That's the end, no more left, but that doesn't mean you can't review!!
