Roughly 436 minutes later, the two David's were sleeping and DiNozzo was sitting in the armchair popping popcorn into his mouth, watching the credits roll.

He averted his gaze over to the loveseat where Ziva and Sam were asleep. Chuckling to himself, he pulled out his cell phone and snapped a picture.

Ziva stirred.

"Good afternoon Sleeping Beauty." He whispered.

"Good afternoon Prince Charming." She whispered back.

They smiled at each other for several seconds before Sam stirred. Ziva held her breath as her daughter settled back into her deep slumber. She stood up, picked the little girl up off the couch and headed down the hallway. Tony stood up and followed, just to see her struggling to open the door.

"Here, let me help you." He opened Sam's bedroom door.

"Thanks."

"Sure thing."

He watched as his partner laid her little girl in her bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. She brushed the stray hairs out of her eyes and kissed her forehead. She silently walked back over to him and closed the door.

"Can I get you anything? Coffee? Water?"

"I don't know. Are you going to have anything?" He asked.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to get some coffee." She said as she walked back into the kitchen.

"How come I've never seen Sam before?" Tony asked, accepting the cup Ziva gave him.

"Jen always had her."

"So when I was coming over?"
"She was at Jen's. Yup."

"Where does she go…?"

"When I'm at work?"

"Yeah."

"She stays with Naomi, Jenny's housekeeper."

"Oh. Ok."

"Yeah."

"Does Gibbs know about Sam?"

"NO! And he doesn't need to know, ok?"

"Ok, ok. I won't say anything the next time I see him."

"Good. Thanks."

"Yup."

There was silence between the two for several moments.

"Hey do you want to stay for…" Ziva began, but was cut off by Tony's cell phone ringing.

"DiNozzo." He said answering. "Yup, I got it. Yeah. I'll be there in 10. See you then Boss."

Tony flipped his phone shut and sighed.

"Case?" Ziva asked, disappointed.

"Yeah." He answered her, just as disappointed.

He grabbed his coat from the back of the armchair in the living room and headed towards the front door.

"Hey Tony?" Ziva called after him.

"Yeah Zee-vah?"

"If you want, when Gibbs lets you go, maybe you can come back here? I'm making pasta for dinner tonight. Maybe you'd like to join us?"

Tony studied her facial futures for a moment, then said, "Sure. I guess I'll see you when I see you Officer David."

Ziva smiled. "Likewise Agent DiNozzo."

A/N: Sorry it's so short, I needed to stop her before I start a new scenario. You know the drill. (That button is begging to be pushed.) Lol. CA. OH! Scenes are on tonight! I'm gonna tape them on my camera, anyone who wants a copy, e-mail me and I'll e-mail them to you.
