Ziva woke up at five a.m. to her alarm, but decided not to go run today. She didn't feel too great. She switched the alarm off and pulled her herself closer to Tony's naked form.
"Not going for your run today?" He asked groggily, still half asleep.
"No, Tony." She said, snuggling up to him. He tightened his grip around her.
"Good." He said and started snoring again. Ziva smiled and went back to sleep herself.
"Daddy! Ziva!" Marshall yelled and jumped on top of Tony and Ziva. Ziva's eyes popped open when she realized she and Tony didn't have any clothes on and there was a three year old in the room.
"Yes, Marshall?" She said, looking at Tony, who had a regretful look in his eyes. She had the same look, they knew better.
"I'm hungry." Marshall said and Ziva nodded.
"Okay. How about you go watch the Backyardigans while daddy and I get…. Ummmm changed?" Ziva said and Marshall nodded, running into the living room. Ziva stood up, Tony behind her, and wrapped a sheet around her. She pulled out a pair of shorts and one of Tony's old Ohio State t-shirts and slipped it on, while Tony just slipped on his boxers. They walked into the living room.
"What do you want to eat, Marshall?" Ziva asked.
"Pancakes!" He yelled and Ziva grinned.
"Lower your voice, please. You will wake McKenna." She said and walked towards the kitchen.
"You need help, Zee?" Tony asked before she got to the kitchen.
"Not really, but you can help if you want." She said and Tony nodded, following her. They gathered ingredients and started cooking. Half-way through someone knocked on the door.
"I got it." Tony said and kissed Ziva quickly. He walked into the living room, past Marshall, and opened the door. He saw a man with dark hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin and then nothing. The man hit him across the head, knocking him out. When Ziva heard the loud thunk of Tony hitting the ground she walked into the living room quickly. She saw the man leaning over Tony.
"What the hell are you doing?" She yelled and the man stood up and walked towards her slowly.
"Ziva, I suppose." He whispered menacingly. Ziva got into a fighting position and the man lunged towards her. She deflected his head shot towards her, but was surprised at the man's hand and foot speed, he had already thrown another punch, strait to her chest. She dodged, but then felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She hit the ground, hard, and Marshall started screaming.
Tony opened his eyes slowly. He looked around, finding Ziva in the floor.
"Ziva!" He yelled and crawled towards her. Ziva opened her eyes groggily and stared at him.
"Zee, you okay?" Tony asked and lifted her head into his lap.
"Yes, Tony." She said, then thinking of something more important than her well being.
"Tony! Where are Marshall and McKenna?" She asked frantically, sitting up quickly. Tony's eyes widened and he jumped up, running around the house, shouting their names.
"Ziva, he took them, their not here!" Tony yelled, on the verge of tears.
"Call Gibbs!" Ziva yelled. It was the only thing she could think of. Gibbs could always help when she felt she couldn't do anything.
