"This is it." Tony said.

The door opened to reveal a woman in her mid-fifties.

"Tony! It's so good to see you!" She exclaimed and engulfed Tony into a hug.

"It's good to see you to Aunt Francesca." Tony said as she let go of him.

"And who's this?" She questioned.

"Aunt Francesca this is my girlfriend Ziva. Ziva this is my wonderful Aunt Francesca."

Francesca took Ziva into a hug. "It's so nice to meet you!"

"It's nice to meet you, too. Tony has told me so much about you." Ziva replied.

"Come in. Everyone will be so glad you came!"

They walked into the grand entrance of the house. Francesca led them to the rest of the family that sat out back on the deck.

"Look who's here!" Francesca exclaimed once in hearing distance of the others.

Everyone looked up when they walked outside. There was a chorus of "Tony's" called out.

"Hey." Tony replied to them.

"Have a seat." Francesca told them and returned to what she was doing prior to their arrival.

Tony sat down and Ziva sat on his lap.

Tony started going around telling Ziva everyone's names. "That's my Grandma Alessandra, Grandpa Alfredo. That's Uncle Carlo, he is married to Aunt Francesca. Daniela and Giulianna are their daughters. Daniela is married to Fabio and they have two kids. Penelope is 11 and Rocco is 9. Giulianna is married to Lorenzo, they have three kids. Rosa is 8, Salvatore is 6, and Valentino is 4. Uncle Emilio and Aunt Cecilia have 3 kids- Lucianna, Matteo, and Nadia. Lucianna and Leonardo are married and have 12 year old twins- Vivianna and Veronica. Matteo and Maddlena have one daughter Cristiana, who's 3. Nadia and Paolo have a two year old daughter, Elisabetta."

"Isn't it strange the oldest of each couple is a girl?" Ziva whispered in his ear.

"DiNozzo gene. Didn't work on my father or me though. We are the only two."

"Anthony." Alfredo called out.

"Yes Grandpa?"

"What is your girlfriend's name?"

"Ziva." He stated.

"What ethnicity are you?" Alessandra asked bluntly.

"Israeli." Ziva answered.

That spurred a lot of questions from the family.

About an hour and a half after their arrival, Francesca called them all inside for lunch.

As the family settled around the table the first question was asked.

"So, where did you guys meet?" Vivianna one of the twelve year old twins asked.

"At work a year and a half ago." Tony answered.

"How long have you been dating?" Veronica the other twin asked.

"Eight months." Ziva answered this time.

"Why'd you take so long Tony?" Matteo joked with him.

Tony was glad he asked. "Well, you see our boss has these rules that we live by…"

Tony was cut off by nine year old Rocco. "What are they?" He asked.

"Well, there are technically two rule number ones and two rule number threes, but the first rule is 'Never let suspects sit together' or 'Never screw over your partner."

"Rule # 2- Always wear gloves at a crime scene." Ziva joined in.

"Rule # 3- Never be unreachable or Don't believe what you're told. Double check."

"Rule # 4- Best way to keep a secret? Keep it to yourself. Second best? Tell one other person if you must. There is no third best."

"Rule # 6- Never apologize- it's a sign of weakness."

"Rule # 7- Always be specific when you lie."

"Rule # 8- Never take anything for granted."

"Rule # 9- Never go anywhere without a knife."

"Rule # 10- Never get personally involved in a case."

"Rule # 11- When the job is done, walk away."

"Rule # 12- Never date a co-worker."

"Rule # 13- Never ever involve lawyers."

They continued telling all of the rules. Neither realized how many there actually was.

The adults couldn't imagine writing or memorizing all those rules.

"Do you follow rule # 9 out of work?" Penelope asked.

"Of course." The two said in unison.

As you all know there are some rules that have not been spoken. That is why there is no 5 above. Thanks for reading. I will try to upload soon. I have this huge English project and I still have yet to get a new laptop so I'm stuck using the family computer.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it! :D
