That night the whole family gathered around in the living room for movie night. They debated over which movie they were gonna watch.

After ten minutes of arguing, Francesca picked The Titanic.

All the boys and Ziva groaned as she put it in.

Ziva whispered into Tony's ear. "How long is this movie?"

"3 and half hours."

"Damn. I'm guessing we can't sneak out?"

"Not a chance."

Half way through the movie, Ziva started drifting off. She really hated chick flicks. She snuggled into Tony more.

Tony rubbed Ziva's back.

After what seemed like a movie that seemed to be getting longer as it progressed ended, everyone went upstairs to their rooms.

Once the door was closed, Ziva started bickering about the movie.

"I swear Tony if you ever make me watch a chick flick again I will shoot you."

"Noted."

They both layed on the bed.

"Let's see if my bastard of a father shows up on the last day again."

Ziva didn't respond. She wanted to get his mind off his father.

She flipped over and straddled Tony.

"Zee-vah, what are you doing?"

Ziva didn't answer. Instead she started sucking on his neck.

"Z."

"Shut up Tony and make love to me."

Tony flipped them over and kissed Ziva roughly


At 11:30 that same night Tony and Ziva lay cuddling under the blankets.

"Tony?"

"Yea?"

"Why do you hate your father so much?"

"It's complicated."

"Tony. People only say it's complicated when they don't want to talk about it. Now, tell me."

"Other then the fact he sent me to boarding school and practically disowned me when I told him I wanted to be a cop? I guess it's just the fact that he's never been supportive. Plus, he marries women younger than me."

"Oh. I had no idea he did such a thing."

"But, it's not as bad as your father raising you to be a killer."

"No, but it's still a horrible thing."


Early the next morning, Christiana walked into Tony and Ziva's room. She climbed up on the bed and started poking Tony's side.

"Ziva. Stop." He said all groggy.

"I'm not doing anything."

Tony sat up and Christiana giggled.

"Christiana, what are you doing in here?"

"Mama told me to warn you that Uncle Anthony is here."

"Oh. Joy. Thank you, Christiana."

"Welcome!"

Christiana jumped off the bed and exited the room, making sure to shut the door after her.

Tony layed back down.

"I'm going back to bed."

Ziva put her arm over his torso.

"Gonna sleep until we have to leave?"

"That's not a bad idea."

"Tony. At least say hello. You don't have to have a full on conversation. Just a simple hello."

"Fine. Can I still go back to bed?"

"Yes. Because I am tired and sore and we have to go to work tomorrow."

"Don't remind me."

After about five minutes the two of them had drifted back to sleep.


Tony awoke again at 11- an hour before they have to leave. He sat up and saw Ziva packing her stuff.

"Hey."

"Morning."

"Sleep well?"

"Very." She stood and opened a different drawer. "You?"

"Good."

He got out of bed and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"It's gonna suck not being able to do this whenever we want."

He started kissing and sucking on her neck.

"Tony, stop."

He started going down to her shoulder.

"Anthony. I will hurt you."

Tony quickly backed away.

"I thought so."

They both finished packing their stuff and brought it out to their car.

Once they walked back inside they headed for the deck hand in hand.

"Good morning, sleepy heads." Francesca greeted them.

"Good morning." They both greeted.

Tony's father had tensed when he saw him.

"Hello, Junior."

"Hi Dad." Tony replied to him then turned to face Francesca and Alessandra. "We have to get going. We have work in the morning."

Everybody stood-except Senior- and started hugging them good bye. There were a few 'Come back next year's and 'It was great meeting/seeing you's spoken.

"Bye Ziva. I miss you." Elisabetta said and hugged her.

Ziva hugged her back. "I'll miss you, too, Elisabetta."

After all the good byes were said Tony and Ziva got into the car and started the drive back to Washington, D.C.


The next chapter isn't really a chapter. It's extremely short and it's basically just back story stuff.

BTW I am extremely sorry I haven't uploaded recently. I had a lot of homework this week since I am in band and I had to miss some of my classes then had to do all that work for homework and have it done the next day cause my teachers are cruel. I'm definitely posting the last two chapters of this story tonight so stay tuned! :)
