Charlotte watched with a smile on her face as Tony said goodbye to Ziva. Whenever Ziva use to be around Tony always had a look on his face that was truly happy. Tony closed the door and turned around.

"Dad…you should tell her" Charlotte said with a smirk.

"Tell her what?" Tony asked walking towards the kitchen with Charlotte walking behind him.

"Please, you've got to be kidding me. You are obviously in love with Ziva." She said jumping up and sitting on the bench.

Tony sighed "It's too complicated Charlotte"

Charlotte rolled her eyes "Dad. You really should tell her. She's leaving soon. Do you really want to miss your chance?"

"You are more like your mother everyday" Tony said with a sad smile.

"I miss her" She said with a frown. Tony walked over and hugged her.

"I know Bond…"


"Dad! Ziva's here!" Charlotte called through the apartment the next afternoon. Ziva gave her a small smile as she walked through the door. Carlos ran out of the kitchen and grinned at Ziva.

"Hello Mummy" He said. Ziva smiled at him and Tony walked into the room with a sad smile.

"Have you talked to Gibbs?" He asked. Ziva sighed.

"Yes. He is trying to get us back. But it may take a while" She said. They looked at each other for a few moments and Charlotte rolled her eyes.

"Hey Sinatra. We'll go down to the park, how about that?" Charlotte said to Carlos. He grinned as she picked him up and put him on her back.

"We'll be back in like, an hour" She said giving a smirk to Tony. Who glared at her. She grinned as she and Carlos went out the door.

"I cannot believe you call him Sinatra" Ziva said as the two made their way to the couch. Tony laughed.

"Yeah well. I have a daughter called Bond" He said with a smile. They both sat down on the couch.

"Charlotte is a very smart girl" Ziva said.

"Yeah…Kate would be proud of her" Tony smiled slightly.

When Tony was 21 he met Kate at a bar when he was there with his friends. Like Carlos, Charlotte is the product of a one night stand. He and Kate became friends when she found out she was pregnant and he was with her through out the pregnancy. When Charlotte was born Kate moved back to New York and Tony would only see her during holidays when he travelled over there. When Kate had joined NCIS when Charlotte was 11 Tony was able to see her more often. He and Kate hand managed to keep her a secret from their co-workers throughout her time at NCIS. When Kate had been killed Charlotte permanently moved in with Tony. Charlotte took Kate's death very hard and began obsessing with things to keep her mind off it. But, over the years she had manage to break that habit and only obsess with TV shows and not things like obsessively cleaning the apartment.

"Tony…I am leaving in three days" Ziva said finally. Tony's eyes widened.

"No! You can't leave…Gibbs will get us back in time" He said.

Ziva smiled sadly "I have faith in him Tony. But I do not think my father will allow me to return" She said.

"Why?"

"He may not be able to trust NCIS…but do not worry, I will stay in contact" She said.

Tony grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him on the couch.

"Tony what are you doing?" She asked, though her voice was barely a whisper. He leaned forward and kissed her temple, then he moved down to kiss her cheek, he placed light kisses down her jaw until he was staring into her eyes and his lips hovering over hers.

"I want you to stay" He whispered. Ziva closed her eyes, her hands resting on Tony's shoulder and chest.

"I am sorry Tony…" She whispered back. He ran his hand through her hair as they stared at each other. He was about to lean forward and close the gap when Ziva's phone began to rang. She quickly sat back from Tony and answered it.

"Shalom?"

"Ziva" came the voice of her father.

"Papa" She said. Tony raised an eyebrow.

"There has been a change of plan"

"What is it?"

"You will be flying to Tel Aviv tomorrow morning. There is a mission I need you to go on, you will be briefed the next morning"

Ziva sighed "Alright. I will see you then"

"Shalom"

"Shalom"

She put her phone down and turned to Tony.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I will be leaving in the morning" She said sadly.

"Ziva…please stay"

"I cannot do that Tony! You have to understand that when I go back, I will most likely be killed on a mission. Tell Carlos that his mother loves him…Goodbye Tony" She said while getting up and quickly making her way to the door. Tony sat in a stunned silence until Charlotte and Carlos came home.

"Dad…Where's Ziva?" Charlotte asked after Carlos went to his room to play.

"She's going back to Israel in the morning" He said in a low voice. Charlotte flopped onto the couch. "Graceful" Tony commented. He got a glare.

"So I'm guessing you're going to the airport in the morning then?" She asked.

"What?" Tony asked.

Charlotte rolled her eyes and sat up more "Come on. You are clearly in love with her; you got to tell her before she leaves. And if you don't go to the airport tomorrow, then I will personally kick your ass all the way there"

Tony looked at his daughter "How did I get a daughter like you?"

"Well Dad, when a man and a woman have too much booze…"


The next morning Tony found himself at Washington International Airport waiting for Ziva to show up. He had been there since 5am because he didn't know what time her flight was. And now, at 9:00am he saw Ziva walk through the entrance.

With Abby, McGee and Gibbs with her.

Tony turned around and gave Charlotte a look.

"Well, how was I supposed to know they were going to be here?" She said as Carlos jumped of the seat and onto her back. She was wearing one of her favourite t-shirts, which said 'We Want Huddy Make Out Scenes'.

Tony sighed and walked towards Ziva.

"Tony! What are you doing here?" She asked. Abby smirked at McGee and he rolled his eyes.

"I wanted to say goodbye" He said "And ah, the kids wanted to say bye as well" He added.

"They're here!?" Abby asked excitedly. Gibbs gave her a look and she calmed down.

Tony turned around and gave a nod to Charlotte. She walked over to them with Carlos hanging onto her back.

"Hi. I'm Charlotte" She smiled. McGee, Abby and Gibbs smiled at her. "And this monkey is Carlos" She said managing to pull Carlos off her back.

"Daddy…" Carlos said turning to Tony "Where's Mummy going?"

Three sets of eyes widened.

Tony winced and bent down to Carlos's level "Buddy, Mummy's going away for a while"

Carlos frowned "Why?"

Tony looked up at Ziva, deliberately ignoring Gibbs, Abby and McGee.

"Because she has to work overseas" He said. Carlos turned to look at Ziva.

"Will you come home soon?" He asked. Ziva smiled slightly and put down her bags and bent down.

"I will try Carlos" She said. Carlos nodded and ran over to Charlotte.

Twenty minutes later Ziva had said goodbye to Gibbs, Abby and McGee, who had all asked her many questions about her and Carlos. She stepped up to Tony and gave him a smile.

"I know Gibbs will get me home soon" She said stepping forward and hugging him. He hugged back harder and whispered in her ear.

"Be safe"

"I will Tony" She said leaning back. Tony didn't remove his arms from around her waist; instead he pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. She looked up at him as he leaned forward and captured her lips with his. Not even caring it was in front of everyone. After a while Charlotte rolled her eyes.

"Now come on, there's a three year old here" She said.

Tony and Ziva broke apart and smiled at each other.

"Come home soon" He whispered. She leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"I will do my best"

Tony watched sadly as Ziva walked through the gate, he turned around to come face to face with Abby, McGee and Gibbs.

"I can explain"
