"Ziva I would like you to meet one off the most important people in my life, my Granma Elizabeth DiNozzo" said tony "Granma this is Ziva"

"Nice to meet you Mrs. DiNozzo" Ziva said sweetly.

Elizabeth DiNozzo just stood there for a few minutes just looking Ziva up and down but to Ziva it felt like hours. Elizabeth reached out and grabbed Ziva's hands, she turned her around a few times, Ziva not sure what was happening sent a pleading look to tony who was just smirking at her.

"Perfect" said Elizabeth "welcome to the family Ziva" she smiled giving Ziva a kiss on each cheek.

"Thank you" said Ziva.

Mrs. DiNozzo smiled and walked back to the kitchen.

"Sorry she does that to everyone" said tony before Ziva could say anything.

"Okay" said Ziva a little unsure as to what just happened.

"You are the 1st girl I have brought back here that she has actually liked" smiled tony.

"I am not sure about that" said Ziva looking to where Mrs. DiNozzo had gone.

"Oh you are, all the other girls have just got a nod of her head, you got a perfect and a kiss on both cheeks" said tony "she loves you zi" "just like I do" thought tony.

"Oh "said Ziva.

"Come on" said tony rapping an arm around her "let's go and join the others"

Tony and Ziva walked up to the rest of the family, they were having a BBQ in the garden and there was a table full of all kinds of pastas, pizzas , dips and everything else you could think off, Ziva had not seen anything like it. They joined in on the conversations that were going on around them, taking the time to joined in with everyone, they finally sat down to eat about an hour later, the meal as delicious, everyone had a wonderful time laughing and sharing stories that were never to be repeated outside off the family.

Mrs. DiNozzo got up to clean the table "I will help you" said Ziva standing up collecting some plates.

"No, no my dear" said Mrs. DiNozzo in a kind voice "you just sit there and enjoy yourself, Tony will help me, wont you Tony"

"Yea Granma" said tony rolling his eyes.

"What is she like" asked Mrs. DiNozzo once they got out of ear shot.

"I wouldn't know where to start" smiled tony "she is amazing, kind, caring, strong in more ways than one, I have lost count how many times she has saved my life and she can kick my arse any day of the week" laughed tony.

"You really love her don't you" asked Mrs. DiNozzo.

"More than I thought was possible" said tony in a soft voice looking out the window to where Ziva was laughing with his family "you loved her after 2 minutes" commented tony thinking back to when he introduced them.

"I knew I liked her after she said hello" smiled Mrs. DiNozzo.

"She has that affect on people" smiled tony.

"She loves you too" said Mrs. DiNozzo.

"I don't know about that" said tony in a sad voice.

"oh she does, she has come all this way with you just to meet your family" said Mrs. DiNozzo "you might of brought other girls here but no of them has ever said two words to any of us , look at her she is talking and laughing with all your family and playing with the kids"

Tony looked out the window to where Ziva was, she was playing with Ellen and Daniel before heading back to the adults, and they caught each other's eyes and smiled at each other.

"Have you asked her yet" asked Mrs. Dinozzo watching tony and Ziva both communicate with their eyes.

"Have I asked her what" asked tony not taking his eyes of Ziva.

"To marry you"

Tony snapped his eyes back to look at his Granma "what, urm n no I haven't"

"Good" said Mrs. DiNozzo.

"Good, I thought you liked her" said tony confusion showing in his voice.

"I am not too late then" she said looking in a cupboard. She pulled out a velvet box and handed it to tony.

"I love you Granma, but I don't think this is legal" joked tony opening the box to find a 14ct whit gold diamond ring.

"it was your mothers" started Mrs. DiNozzo "she give it to me on her death bed, her last wish was for to give it to you when you had found your sole mate, someone who could love you as much as she did, the one that could keep you on your toes and kick your arse when you got out of line"

"Oh she knows how to do that" smiled tony putting the ring in his pocket while hugging his Granma "thank you" said tony giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't wait too long, you the only one not to have given me some great grandkids'" smiled Mrs. DiNozzo.

They both finished up what they were doing and went to join the rest of them outside. Tony walked straight over to Ziva rapping his arms around her, he felt her relax straight away and lean into him, he smiled to his self "I wonder if she is right" thought tony think about what his Granma said.

"What did I miss" asked tony giving Ziva a kiss on the cheek.

"We have been swapping stories" smiled Ziva "I have been hearing all about you as a baby and a teenager" laughed Ziva.

"Oh god" groaned tony burring his head in to her shoulder, Ziva just laughed and stroked his head trying to comfort him.

"We have also shown Ziva all your baby photos" laughed one of his aunties.

Tony just groaned again in Ziva shoulder.

"It's okay my little hairy butt" smiled Ziva "they were not that bad"

"Little hairy butt" laughed all his aunts.

"Okay I think it's time to leave" said tony tugging Ziva away.

"Do we have to I am having a good time" asked Ziva tilting her head and giving the look that always melted tony to a pile of goo.

"No we don't" tony said leaning down and kissing her.

"Awe" said all the girls, reminding tony and Ziva of Abby.

They spent the rest of the night playing games and laughing with all the family.
