Meanwhile back at the Lab

Abby is sitting in her lab, working through some paperwork that she had put on hold while the team was looking for Ziva. While Abby's lab was usually filled with the sound of loud music it was unusually quiet when she heard the sound of high heeled shoes she turned around. She did not know the person who stood before her.

"Abby Scutio?" the tall dark haired woman asked.

"Yes," the goth answered carefully.

"My name is Louisa," she said, holding out her hand.

"From Cyber, right?" Abby asked as she raised her hand also.

"Yes, that's right," Louisa said.

"Okay, what can I do for you?" Abby asked.

"I am friends with Ziva David."

"I thought you had been transferred?" questioned Abby a bit confused.

"How did you know that?" Louisa wanted to know.

"McGee told me," Abby confirmed.

"Okay. Anyway, I was just filling in the last of my transfer forms. There was something I have to do before I leave and I need your help," Louisa told her.

"My help?" Abby was stunned.

"Abby, please do not judge me," Louisa began.

"What do you need my help with?" the Goth asked.

"I need you to give these letters to Ziva for me. It tells her that Mika is alive and well, that she was staying here all these years." Louisa began

"I don't understand." Abby said taken aback.

"Ziva had twins. You have met Kalisha, correct?" Louisa inquired.

"Yes, I didn't know about twins though," Abby said.

"Well, Ziva was told Mika was dead," but she had been with me for 1 year now. Before she stayed with my cousin, to keep her safe," reported Louisa.

"I still don't understand. Ziva thinks Mika is dead, but you have had her?" Abby asked stunned.

"Yes. Abby, please! I'm not a bad person,l" Louisa begged.

"You have kept your friends child from her?! How could you?" the scientist started to rant.

"Abby, you don't understand why I did it," Louisa tried to reason but had no luck.

"How could you even look at her in the eye after doing that, I mean, keeping her daughter from her!" Abby shouted.

"I know it's hard to understand, But, please, would you go pick her up from school? There is no-one else here," Louisa pleaded.

"I can't, Louisa, sorry." Abby turned her back to her.

"My flight leaves in 2 hours. Mika goes to Bancroft Elementary. There is no-one else, Abby," Louisa said.

Abby spun around, "Louisa, me and Ziva don't exactly get on!"

"Mika is six years old, Abby. She can't be left alone. Please, go pick her up," Louisa pleaded anew.

"Sorry, Louisa, I can't" Abby said turning her back on her again.

Louisa walked up behind Abby, placing a piece of paper down and headed out of the room, closing the door behind her. After a few minutes Abby picked up the paper and read it.

"I don't like her. Why should I help her?" Abby asked herself. "She is so annoying! Miss I'm Mossad, I have no feelings," she ranted to herself.

Another few minutes went by and she slowly realised that Mika was a six year old girl. Who had no-one to look after her, no matter how much she didn't get on with Ziva, the little girl didn't deserve to be alone. So she took the piece of paper and she left to get Mika, all be it hesitantly.

When she arrived she suddenly became very nervous. Ascending the stairs, she headed through the the door and straight to the school office. There she is greeted by a Gray haired woman, wearing a skirt that was 3 sizes to small for her in Abby's eye. She approached the desk and began talking to her.

"Hello, How can I help you?" The woman asked.

"My name is Abby Scutio," she said.

"Hello, Abby. What can I do for you?" The woman answered cheerily.

"I am here to pick up Mika David."

"Oh yes, Louis called ahead of your arrival. She said that she hoped you would come," the woman told her with a smile.

The woman then retreated out of the door and escorted Abby to Mika's class. As Abby reached the class, she looked through the glass door and noticed Mika straight away. The small girl was sitting in the middle of the class, her long brown hair like her mothers, sallow skin like Ziva but with Tony's eyes. Abby could not help but feeling guilty that she had not wanted to pick the little girl up.

"I shall go get her out," the woman said, breaking Abby's thoughts.

"Thank you."

The older woman headed into the class room and told Mika to get her bag and jacket. Mika finally walked out, holding the woman's hand.

"This is Abby. She is taking you home today," The woman told the young girl.

"Where is Auntie Louisa?" The young girl asked the woman quietly.

"She had to work late. She asked me to come get you." Abby told her.

The young girl only smiled slightly. Abby and Mika then headed back to the car. After spending only a few minutes with her Abby noticed Mika was very different from Kalisha. Mika was very shy and quiet were as Kalisha was more chatty. Mika had blue eyes were as Kalisha's eyes were brown like Ziva's.

The car journey was relatively quiet, either of them not knowing what to say. As they pulled into the NCIS car park Abby took out her cell phone and called Gibbs.

"Gibbs! You have to come to the office quick!"

"Abby, what's wrong?" Gibbs asked.

"It's a long story..." Abby replied.

"Well, Ziva and Kalisha have been hurt and there are in hospital," Gibbs informed the scientist.

"Are they okay?" Abby asked

"They will recover. We're waiting for them to come out of surgery."

"I didn't know. Ermm, let me know how they are," Abby told him a bit unsure what she should say.

"What did you want to tell me, Abs?" he asked.

"I have Mika here," she bluntly stated.

"Mika, Ziva's daughter?" asked a confused Gibbs.

"Yes, Louisa came. Big story, can you come?" she pleaded.

"I will be right over," promised the older agent.

As Gibbs entered Abby's Lab a few minutes later, he saw Abby sitting on her computer, while Mika was sitting on the floor, doing her homework. He headed straight to Abby.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked.

"I'm a little confused by this. Why would someone I don't even know come to me for help?" Abby turned her confused eyes on Gibbs.

"She would have her reason, Abs," Gibbs said, giving her a kiss on the head.

The Gray-haired agent then went over to Mika.

"Hey, he greeted the small child as he sat down.

Mika moved slightly to look at Gibbs.

"My name is Gibbs," he quietly said.

"I'm Mika," she finally replied.

"What you doing?" he asked.

"Reading," she curtly answered.

"Well, I'm going to go over to talk to Abby, just over there, okay?" he told her after a few minutes of silence.

"Ima works here, doesn't she?" Mika asked him,

"Yes, sweetie, she does," Gibbs said, sitting down again.

"Can I see her, please?" Mika questioned as she put her book down.

Gibbs didn't replied but got up again. He went over to Abby.

"I will take it from here, Abs. I will take her to Ziva."

"Be careful, Gibbs. Remember she was told she was," Abby started only to get interrupted by Gibbs, as he put finger on her lips.

"I know, Abby. Don't worry." he reassured, placing a kiss on her cheek.

Gibbs walked back to Mika. He crouched down to her level, not wanting to startle or frighten the shy and wary little girl. He held out his hand for her to take, which she did after a few moments of hesitation. He brought Mika out of the lab and sat her down on his seat in the bullpen.

"Mika, I have to tell you something," he began.

"What's wrong?" She asked worriedly.

"Everything will be okay, but I have to tell you that your mum and sister are in hospital. They were quite badly hurt," he gently informed the girl.

"I want to see them, please," Mika said slightly teary.

"I will take you to them right now," he lightly patted her head.

The two of them then made their way to the hospital to visit Ziva and Kalisha.

At the hospital

"I want to see Kalisha, I am fine!" Ziva demanded.

"You have to have surgery on that leg," her nurse said.

"I want my daughter, now!" Ziva told the nurse again.

"I assure you, after surgery, I will take you straight to her," the nurse told her as she administered some sleeping drug into the Israeli's IV.

Some time later

When Gibbs and Mika arrived at the hospital, Ziva was still sedated and Kalishawas not yet out of theatre, so they were told to wait in a little private room for news.

"How did you know your mum worked with NCIS?" the agent asked the little girl beside him carefully.

"Auntie Louisa told me" She told him.

"What else has she told you," Gibbs asked.

"Not much, she told me that my mum, loves me and wanted me safe" Mika said.

Gibbs put his arm around the young girl and she rested her head on his chest.

A little while later

When Ziva got out of surgery, she was put into the same room as Kalisha, who was still asleep. Ziva also still quite drugged from her operation, struggled to get into an upright position so she could see her daughter.

The nurse on duty saw that Ziva had awoken and went to get Gibbs and to fill him in.

While sitting in the waiting room Gibbs noticed Mika was getting tired. As the nurse came and informed

them about Ziva's condition, he asked Mika to wait in the room a moment until he had talked to her mother.

Inside her dimly lit room, Ziva suddenly heard an unfamiliar noise.

"Who is there?" the Israeli asked, becoming fully alert.

"It's me, Gibbs," the team leader said as he stepped out the shadows.

He walked closer to her and sat down on the seat next to her.

"How is she?" He asked looking at Kalisha.

"She will recover well. Thank you for asking." she told him.

"How are you?" he continued.

"I will be fine. I want to get out of here stupid hospital," Ziva grumbled, not taking her eyes away from Kalisha.

"You have to stay here to get well, Ziva," Gibbs smirked at his agent.

"I am fine! I only care about my daughter," she mumbled quietly.

"I was talking to her the other day. She told me she had a twin," he gently said.

He was going to continue speaking, but his eyes fell upon Ziva's eyes who had now became very distant.

He continued carefully, "It must have been hard."

"You know how if feels Gibbs," she replied quietly.

"That I do, Ziva." His thoughts momentarily with his wife and daughter.

Knowing that Ziva, like himself, didn't liked it when people beat around the bush, as they say, he told her straight away, "Mika wasn't with Tali. Your sister brought her to Louisathat day."

Ziva only sat there, too, shocked to reply. When her breathing became ragged. Gibbs became worried.

"Ziva, breath," he urged, having moved to the bed, he gently stroked her arm, "Come on, David. Don't hyperventilate on me."

"She can't be alive," Ziva said, finally being able to speak.

"She is Ziva, she is here," he told her.

"She is dead, Gibbs," she stated as she turned her attention back to Kalisha.

"Ziva," the Gray-haired agent said gently, seeing that this news was too much for her to take in. When she didn't react he spoke more sharply, "David!" which got her attention.

"There is a small girl out there, who looks remarkably like you and Kalisha," he told her more softly, trying to make her understand.

Ziva just kept shaking her head. Silent tears making their way down her cheek and dropping on to her hospital gown and blanket.

"She wants to meet you," Gibbs started again as he made his way to the door.

A few seconds later

A small girl entered shyly the room, not daring to go near her mother yet. Mika took notice of the room. She could see her sister lying on the bed in the far corner. She then noticed a large hand gently urging her further into the room, as she looked up, she saw Gibbs smiling reassuring down at her.

"Go," he mouthed, leaning on the door as he watched as Mika carefully and slowly approached her mother's bed.

Ziva and Mika looked at each other warily. Tears were forming in both of their eyes. It took a few moments for the Israeli to realise that she was not seeing things, her daughter was actually there. She gave her a small smile. Seeing this, Mika suddenly ran and leaped onto her mother's bed, straight into Ziva's arms. The Mossad officer wrapped her arms around her daughter's tiny frame and pulled her as close to her as possible.
