CHAPTER 7: THE DINOZZO'S STAY THE NIGHT...
TIM AND ABBY'S APARTMENT...
ABBY AND ZIVA...
THE KITCHEN...
"...taking it the worst, because Sarah was her mother. Tim is taking it just as hard, because she was his little sister and Meg is still trying to understand. It's been hard on us all." Abby said as she and Ziva finished the dishes.
"I thought of Sarah as a younger sister and now it seems I have lost two sisters. My sister, Tali was killed years before I came to live here." Ziva said, with a look of sadness she always had when she thought of her sister.
"How did you deal with losing your sister?" Abby asked.
"What could I do? I felt like I had lost my best friend, but I refused to let my grief get in my way and drove into whatever assignment I was on." Ziva told her and Abby gave a small smile.
"Dove, Ziva, not drove. I don't think that would work for, Tim. How are you, Tony, Lucas and Jenny dealing with it?" Abby asked.
"Jenny and Lucas are three years old, so it is sometimes hard to tell with them. Jenny has been quiet and doesn't talk about it. Tony and Lucas are so much alike...jokes and pranks." Ziva replied not mentioning how she was taking it.
Abby and Ziva sat down at the table.
"I wish things could have turned out different for Annie and that she had both of her parents. If someone had told me when I first met, Tim that I would one day we would be married, have two kids and be raising Sarah's daughter. I would have told them they escaped a mental hospital… Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm not happy about Tim and I getting back together, because I am. It's just..." Abby began.
"I know what you mean. If someone would have told me I would marry a juvenile in a mans body, I think I would have told them to jump off a tower." Ziva told her.
"Bridge, Ziva. It's jump off a bridge. If you would have done that we never would have gotten married nor have two great kids." Comes Tony's voice, Abby and Ziva looked at the doorway to see Gibbs, Ducky, Tony and Tim who held a happy Ryan in his arms.
"Listening in on a..." Abby began as Tim came over to stand beside her and she took their son from him.
"It was Tony's idea." Tim told her.
"Really? Because you don't usually go along with Tony's ideas." Abby said.
"He does sometimes." Tony said as Tim kissed Abby.
"Get a room!" Tony joked repeating what Abby had said earlier.
"It's their apartment, DiNozzo and the kids are n..." Gibbs began as Abby and Tim broke the kiss.
"Actually there is a child pre..." Tony began as Tim and Abby looked at him.
"Yeah, and he's talking." Ziva replied.
"I was referring to Ryan." Tim said standing beside Ziva.
"Has anyone notice there hasn't been a sound from Meg and Annie's room for at least half an hour?" Abby asked and then it dawned on them.
"I think it is time we check on them." Ziva said and hoped Lucas wasn't planning anything.
"I think I'm going to go ahead and head home." Gibbs said looking at the time.
"Yes, I believe you are correct, Jethro and I to need to go." Ducky said.
Everyone said good-bye to Ducky and Gibbs, and then Tony, Ziva, Abby with Ryan and Tim went to check on the kids.
Looking in the room Annie was sound asleep on her bed. Meg, Jenny and Lucas were all on Megan's bed asleep.
Ryan was the only one of the kids awake, but he was fighting it.
Looking at the clock it was 20:45, no one had known that the time had gone by so fast.
"I don't think the kids will be moved tonight. Because once Lucas and Jenny fall asleep it's hard to make them move." Tony said. "How about a slumber party?" Abby suggested.
"Abbs..." Tim began.
"What? The couch has a fold up bed and there is room for everyone." Abby said and after a few minutes, everyone agreed.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER...
TIM AND ABBY...
Abby laid beside Tim her head on his shoulder and his arm around her.
"I can't believe everything that's happened in the last few years. Sarah disappearing; finding Annie and then Sarah, us getting back together; us getting married and now having two kids. Now when just everything seems to have fallen into place...
I lose my sister." Tim said and Abby propped herself up on her elbow, putting a hand on the side of his face.
"I know how close you and Sarah were. Just don't forget you're not alone in this and Annie isn't alone in this either. You, Annie and your parents are not the only ones who miss her. Everyone on Team Gibbs thought of her as a sister, granddaughter and even though she had your parents...Gibbs thought of her as a daughter. As long as everyone remembers, Sarah...she won't be forgotten." Abby told him and Tim looked at her. "
"Thanks, Abbs." Tim told her and leaned over to give her a kiss.
A few minutes later, they fell asleep.
