Cambiano I Suonatori Ma La Musica è Sempre Quella.

Cambiano i suonatori ma la musica è sempre quella.
English translation: The melody's changed but the song remains the same.

Ziva sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her left hand. Tony was in the shower and Ziva could hear the sound of the water running. The light from the bedside table cast a glow, making the engagement ring on her finger sparkle. Underneath the engagement ring, her wedding band cast a band of warmth around her finger.

It had been two years since they had broken the news to the team that they were getting married, one year since their wedding, and six months since Gibbs had finally accepted that they were together. She smiled at the thought of all the things that had changed at NCIS since then.

A few months after Tony and Ziva had announced their engagement; McGee and Abby had revealed that they had been seeing each other and that Abby was pregnant. They now had a one and a half year old little girl who they named Levana Caitlin. They had gotten married after Levana was born and made Tony and Ziva her godparents.

Ducky had retired after his mother had died. Palmer graduated from medical school and had taken Ducky's position but the elder doctor still visited on occasion and was still invited to all of the family parties.

Soon after Gibbs had accepted Tony and Ziva, he had begun to make more frequent trips up to the Director's office. He'd return hours later with lipstick on his collar and his hair all mussed.

"So you get to play hanky-panky with Jen but we can't have a serious relationship?" Tony asked.

"Hanky-panky?" I asked.

Both of them had gotten slapped.

There were some things that hadn't changed though. The bantering and the bickering had actually gotten worse. Not only were they furled by sexual tension, but also by the pressures of being husband and wife.

"Nice shirt ya got there, Zee-vah," Tony said.

"If you hadn't broken the washing machine then I'd be wearing something more suitable for work," I snapped back.

"Hey, it wasn't my idea," Tony retorted.

"Actually, it was your idea, which you got after watching that stupid movie," I said.

"Well, you didn't try to stop me after I suggested it," Tony said.

Ziva just smiled in remembrance and placed her hands on her still flat stomach. She had suspected a few weeks ago that she was pregnant and she had visited the doctor, who confirmed. Tony didn't know yet, but she was planning on telling him that night.

Ziva heard the water shut off and headed into the bathroom and saw Tony getting out of the shower with a towel around his waist.

"Tony, there's something I need to tell you," Ziva said.

One Year Later…

Ziva arrived at the bullpen with AJ in tow. She wasn't supposed to have him at work, but Sarah McGee had called at six that morning saying that she was sick. Tony arrived a few minutes behind Ziva.

"Why don't you take him down to Abby?" Tony asked, kissing Ziva on the forehead.

"Don't bother, Sarah was supposed to watch Levana too, so we have her here today," McGee said, walking into the bullpen. Just then the elevator dinged and a frantic Abby and a babbling Levana stepped out.

"Daddy," Levana squealed when she saw McGee. She held out her arms and McGee hoisted her onto his hip.

"Hey baby," McGee said as Levana kissed him on the cheek. "Abs?"

"I need to go pick up Ducky and take him to his doctor's appointment," Abby said. "So you need to watch Levi until I get back."

"Hey calm down! How many Caf-Pows did you have?" McGee asked.

"This many!" Levana shrieked as she held up her hand, displaying all five fingers.

"ABBY!" McGee said scolding.

"I was thirsty!" Abby said defending herself. McGee groaned.

"Fine, I'll watch her, just try not to take too long, okay?" McGee said. Abby smiled and gave her husband and gave her daughter a kiss.

"Thank you, Timmy. You be good for Daddy, Levi, okay?" Abby said, placing her forehead against Levi's, causing the little girl to giggle.

"Ok Mommy," Levi said, her green eyes flashing mischievously. Ziva smiled as she watched this encounter between her co-workers.

"Gentle, Levi, gentle. He's a baby," Ziva heard McGee coo and looked over to see Levi looking curiously at AJ.

"Do you want to hold him?" Ziva asked her niece and Levi nodded vigorously. Ziva stood up and McGee placed Levi on Ziva's chair. Ziva unbuckled AJ from his car seat and placed him gently in Levi's arms while McGee squatted beneath her, making sure that she didn't drop him. Ziva pulled her phone out of her pocket and snapped a picture.

Years later, that picture was put on display at Levi's and AJ's wedding.

In case you didn't catch that, Levi is short for Levana. Please review, Cable Addict and I appreciate it greatly!
