"It took me three hours to put her down! Yes she's asleep now. No, I don't think their will be any more problems. She kept worrying that the 'bad man' will come back and hurt me again. I know. I told her that that would not happen, but she wouldn't believe me. Yes, we had to play the song. Several times actually. I think I'm going to break that CD. Yeah I know. Hold on Jen, someone's at my door. If they wake her up, I swear to god…" Ziva trailed off as she opened the door and saw Tony standing on her door step.
"Tony! What are you doing here?" She looked down at the phone that was resting on her shoulder. "Can I call you back Jen? Toda. Shalom."
She turned her attention back to her partner standing on her door step, and repeated the question.
"What are you doing here?"
Tony shifted his weight from one foot to the other.
"I wanted to see how you were doing."
"I'm fine."
There was an awkward silence between the two.
"That's good." He said, "Can I come in?"
Ziva hesitated for a moment before stepping back and opening the door wider.
"Thanks Zee-vah."
"Your welcome To-ny."
Once they were both situated comfortably on the couch, Ziva asked again.
"Why are you really here? We both know that you wouldn't come all the way over here just to see if I was ok."
"Well, you're my partner Officer David, and I did come here to check up on you." Tony said, flashing her one of his best smiles.
"Really?" Ziva asked skeptically.
"Really."
"Well now you've seen me and seen that I am in fact fine, so you can go back to doing whatever it is you do on Friday nights." She said hurriedly.
"Ziva I…" But he was cut off by a cry.
Ziva growled and hissed "Stay right there!" at him as she got up off the couch and went into the hallway and into the first door on the right.
Tony DiNozzo was a curious man, but when Ziva David hissed at him and told to "stay" he did what he was told. Usually. He had already stood up and was making his way over to the hall, when he heard whimpering.
He instinctively crept towards the slightly ajar door and peeked inside.
