When I got downstairs I saw Kate and Ari putting bags of stuff on the counter. I walked up behind Kate and she smiled at me and the baby.

"How was she?"

"She was a perfect angel. I just got done feeding her and she needs to be burped.

Ari took Alecia from my arms and laid her over his shoulder in order to burp her. Kate pulled two boxes of hair dye out f the bags on the counter.

"We got Shaliev a dark brown since he is blonde and we got you a light red color in order to help hide your identities, it was Gibbs idea. We also bought some color contacts for you guys if you want them. There is blue green and a whiskey brown in there, depending on what you want."

"Thank you Kate. I guess I can go first and get all this done."

I followed Kate to the bathroom and sat on the edge of the sink while she applied the dye to my hair. As she was massaging my scalp I thought about the tiny little life growing inside of me. Was the timing the best, not at all, but I was not going to hold that against tis baby or its father. My hands absentmindedly drifted to my stomach as Kate finished. I smiled my thanks at her and she helped me apply the brown contacts since my eyes were normally green she figured it would be safer this way. Once she was done it was time for me to wash out my hair and once that was done I came out looking completely different.

" Wow Katan you look like one of Gibbs favorite people right now."

I smiled at Kate and watched as Shaliev followed Kate to have his hair done. I decided to go for a walk and went to gather Alecia's stroller from her room. I went to ask my Uncle but he walked into the room as I was getting her ready.

"Where are you going?"

"I was going on a walk to scope out the best jogging paths and figured I would take Alecia with me so she can get some fresh air. Is that alright?"

"Yes that is fine but I am going to walk with you ok? I usually go running n the morning and can show you were I usually go."

I really wanted to go alone because I needed to do some thinking but I didn't want to argue so I just nodded and followed him out of the house.

We walked for a while before he started to talk.

"How is my sister?"

"She is fine, getting ready to have another baby. A Boy. He is due any day now."

"That's good, she deserves to be happy, and Ziva was always pushed to be the perfect warrior when we were children. Eli got my mother pregnant just so he could groom himself a mole. When Rivka had Ziva Eli was angry since he was hoping for another boy but knew that girls strived for their father's approval so he used that against her. Talia was a surprise but in the end he loved her more than either Ziva or I. He treated her like daddy's little princess, he wouldn't dream of turning her into Mossad because that was his baby. I know Ziva was jealous of her since she got the love that Ziva so wanted but she would never admit it. Ziva didn't want Tali to become Mossad either so after her mother died she took it upon herself to raise Tali to be a young woman, free from Elis world of violence. Ziva loved her baby sister so much and was beyond devastated when Tali was killed. The last time I saw her cry was at Talis funeral and then she became cold. She did exactly what Eli had wanted her to do and sought out revenge against those responsible for the bomb that killed Tali. That was the first time she had killed someone and I remember when she was finished she came to my apartment and I held my baby sister as she sat there comprehending what she had just done. That was when I knew that I would never forgive Eli and that I would get revenge, not only for Tali but for the loss of the Ziva who I once played in the back yard with, my sister who I would chase around the house with a dead bug in my hands. "

I laughed at that and he smirked and looked at me.

"Ima still hates bugs."

We walked in silence for a while and then he stopped me in front of this huge lake. He pulled something out of his pocket and held it so I could see the box to my pregnancy test.

"How did you find that?"

"I was changing the bathroom trash and saw the box sitting underneath some towels."

"It was positive. I am pregnant and on the run from my grandfather and my parents are so far away and I need them here now to ask my Ima what I should do because I am scared and don't know if I am going to be a good mother."

Ari took ahold of my chin and lifted it, making me look into his eyes.

"You are going to be a wonderful mother."

"How do you know? Yoou just met me."

"You were raised by my sister, anyone who has her as their mother has a wonderful role model and I know she taught you right."

I stood there for a few seconds taking in what he said and then I engulfed him in a hug. He hugged me back and we just stood in complete silence for awhile. When I finally let go of him he smiled down at me before taking the stroller from me and started pushing it.

"Come, it is going to be dark soon and we should see what my wife and your boyfriend are doing."

I smiled and started walking behind him as we headed home.

Sorry about the long wait but here you go. I haven't been keeping up with the TV show sincew Ziva left. Am I the only one who still cries when I hear "Holding on and Letting Go" by Ross Copperman? Oh well thank you to those who keep reading this story even though I do notupdate like I should
