Chapter 11 - Who?,What? When? Zaria!

It had been one week since the team had arrested Adam Yased for attacking Ziva and things had pretty much settled down for the team. Director Vance hadn't given the team too many cases to work and the ones they did get were wrapped up quickly. The team was currently all sat at their desks in the Bull-pen doing paperwork, which was being done at a rapid speed. The lack of cases meant less paperwork and the guys figured out if they did it quickly after a case they could relax.

Gibbs, who'd finished his paperwork, looked across to Zaria who smiled and nodded in Gibbs direction. At the nod Gibbs got up from his desk and got in the elevator.

Tony and McGee noticed their boss leaving and carefully watched him as he disappeared.

"Wonder where he's going?" McGee spoke up

"Dunno Probie me too. Do you know anything mini-Z?" Tony turned his gaze on the girl who looked away.

"Nope"

Tony and McGee shared a look and both nodded in agreement. They logged onto their email accounts.

VerySpecialAgentDiNozzo:You think she knows something Probie?

TimMcGee: Yup, she knows something. Did you see her and Boss smile and then she nodded so Gibbs got up and left. She definitely knows something.

VerySpecialAgentDiNozzo: Well spotted Mcnosey. So where do you think he went?

TimMcGee: You're being just as nosey DiNosey. And No idea. You?

Tony was about to type a reply until he heard a Ping and Gibbs walked back into the Bull-pen with Abby and Ducky in tow.

Tony quickly emailed McGee one last message.

VerySpecialAgentDiNozzo: Guess that answers where he went.

McGee looked over at Tony who just smiled.

As soon as Abby was out of the elevator she went up to McGee's desk and began a confused babble.

"Hi Timmy, why did Gibbs bring us up here? He wouldn't tell us anything just came down to my lab and told me to come up to the Bull-pen with him and then dragged me with him to get Ducky. No offence Ducky."

Ducky smiled warmly at Abby, she was like his family and he loved her generally positive outlook at life.

"None taken Abigail and I would also like to know why you needed us to come up here Jethro" He turned around to look at Gibbs who just gave his half smile.

"Can't tell you yet Duck, you all have to wait and see"

Every person besides Gibbs and Zaria looked puzzled. What were they all waiting for exactly?

Tony wanted to know what was going on, he was suspicious as he knew Zaria was in on it all and thought it might be another prank, but then he remembered Gibbs knew what it was as well so that was ruled out. Eventually he ran out of ideas and wanted to know why Zaria was in on it all.

"Why does Zaria get to know about it boss?" He sounded like a jealous child but he couldn't care less.

"What? Zaria knows about it?" The group response came.

"Zaria gets to know about it because it was her idea and it sounded like a good one to me. So shut up and wait for your surprise"

The team looked chided except Ducky but then again he never did. He just looked inquisitive about the whole thing.

Agent Carlson had been sat back at this point and had been keeping her head low since the whole desk incident. She only spoke when she had to and that was during a case. However after witnessing the discussion the team were having she decided to get involved.

"What surprise Agent Gibbs?"

The whole team spun around to face Agent Carlson..

"Well it wouldn't be a surprise if we told you all would it Macey!" Zaria snapped.

"That's Special Agent Carlson to you, you little-" Agent Carlson was cut off by another voice from behind the team.

"Little what exactly Agent Carlson?"

The team knew that voice well and all mouths dropped open from hearing it in the Bull-pen again, they turned and shouted

"ZIVA!"

"Shalom everyone. Now Agent Carlson what were about to say regarding Zaria?" Ziva's voice went from friendly to cold in the blink of an eye or in this case in a breath.

"Nothing Officer David" Agent Carlson still remained stood with the team though.

"Ziva oh my god when did you get out of hospital?" Abby was bouncing in her place.

"Last Friday Abby. I've been home for a week and I was going to call you all instead of turn up here without you all knowing I was out, however Zaria thought this was a much more... fun way to tell you all." Ziva gave a light laugh at her daughter's antics. The team all thought it was a fun way to find out as well and laughed at the girl's plan. Except one member

"A WEEK! YOU'VE BEEN OUT OF HOSPITAL FOR A WEEK AND DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL US. I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T FEEL UP TO HAVING VISITOR AND ALL THIS TIME IT WAS JUST A JOKE!" Tony was seething that Ziva thought this was funny.

The team stood dumbfounded at Tony's outburst, they thought he'd see the amusing side. But Tony wasn't done yet.

"AND YOU! YOU'VE SEEN HOW WORRIED I'VE BEEN ALL WEEK AND YET YOU STILL DIDN'T THINK HEY LETS PUT THE GUY OUT OF HIS MISERY."

Zaria was nearly in tears. She didn't think that Tony would get mad at her, she thought he'd think it was mischievous and sneaky. Not cruel. Ziva noticed the look in her daughter's eyes and instantly switched into defensive mother mode.

"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO HER LIKE THAT! IT WAS JUST A WAY FOR ME TO REST UP BEFORE SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN! IF ANYTHING IT WAS HER WAY OF LETTING ME HEAL UP A BIT MORE AND GIVE YOU ALL A SURPRISE" At the end Ziva let out a groan as she was still aching and sore, shouting didn't help.

Tony just glared and stomped off to his desk. The rest of the team just stood in shock at Tony's attitude. After a few more light hugs and exchanges the team quickly dispersed again. Ziva sat back at her desk with Zaria sitting on top of it, both were laughing at Ziva's tale of how she had met Agent Carlson.

"You threatened her? Ima you shouldn't do that! You always tell me not to threaten people!" Zaria said in between her giggles.

"Yes and you should not threaten people tatelah however I couldn't let her say things like that about you. You are a lot of things neshomeleh, you are girly, messy, nosey, persistent and sometimes you say too much but you are not an ignorant brat"

Zaria pulled her mother into a loose hug and was over-joyed when Ziva pulled her in tighter. Tony had been watching the exchange and he stormed off somewhere.

"Ima why is Tony so angry with me? I didn't mean to upset him or anybody for that matter." Zaria was sincerely sad that Tony was not speaking to her and it showed in her voice and posture.

"I don't know love, but I will find out" Ziva kissed the top of Zaria's head and then headed out to find Tony and get the truth from him.

Corridor outside Abby's lab

Tony was leaning against the wall trying to collect his thoughts, he had over-reacted he just couldn't believe Ziva and Gibbs went along with Zaria's idea. Surely they knew he'd be upset, especially Ziva. She knew he was trying to show her how much he loved her, so why had she purposefully made it impossible for him to not see her or speak to her for a week? Did she not want to be with him anymore? 'That must be it, she hasn't spoken to me or wanted to see me and still hasn't even shown any hint suggesting she still cares. Fine if that's how she feels then I give up'.

"Agent DiNozzo, what's wrong?" Agent Carlson was now stood in front of Tony looking at him with a small smile.

"I'm fine just annoyed that Zaria, Ziva and Gibbs did that, that's all" He gave her a DiNozzo grin in hopes that she'd leave him alone. She didn't. In fact she leant forward even more and Tony caught the message she was sending.

"I think there's more to it but if you don't wanna talk about it there is another way to relax" Her lips curled at the corners.

'Well Ziva doesn't seem interested anymore' With that thought he closed the distance between them and captured her in a kiss she happily returned.

They were both too wrapped up in the kiss to notice anything around them as it quickly grew more needy. However this also meant that they failed to hear Zaria come down the corridor until she screamed.

"TONY!"

Tony and Agent Carlson broke the kiss but not quickly enough that Abby, who had run out from her lab at hearing Zaria scream 'Tony', didn't see enough to know what the pair had just been doing. And Abby was certainly not happy.

"Tony how could you do that? Why did you kiss her? Last I checked you loved Ziva and yet I catch you kissing her!" Abby had never shouted at Tony and it left her and Tony surprised at her anger.

Tony was about to say something when he heard a sob come from the other end of the corridor. He turned to face the person and looked straight into the eyes of Ziva David.

The four people stood staring at Ziva, who was trying to hold in her sob however she couldn't stop the tears that escaped and ran down her cheeks. She had rounded the corner, after hearing Zaria shout out Tony's name, at the same time Abby had burst from her lab and so she had seen just as much as Abby and knew perfectly what had happened and to say she was upset or distraught was an understatement: She was completely heartbroken. Tony stepped away from Agent Carlson after seeing Ziva and he was bowled over at seeing the tears on Ziva's cheeks. He tried to say something but couldn't and Ziva took one last look at Tony before she broke out into a sprint and ran away from the scene.

"Ima!" Zaria called after Ziva "How could you Tony? You knew she loved you she told you herself and you just do this!" Tony took a deep breath ready to explain himself but just as he was going to speak Zaria cut him off "Don't bother explaining anything, you hurt Ima Tony! For no reason! And right now I don't want to be around you because right now I hate you so much" Zaria whispered and then she took off chasing after Ziva.

Tony looked on the verge of tears after what Zaria had said and didn't think he could take much more but Agent Carlson didn't look impressed.

"You love her? You love Ziva? Why the hell do you love her? She kept her own kid from you and yet you tell her you love her! She murdered her own brother for Christ's sake!"

At this point Abby stepped in.

"Don't you dare insult Ziva or call her a murderer. She saved Gibbs' life that night and you cannot pass judgement on anyone Macey Carlson. Any one could love Ziva once they know her. She fun, crazy, smart, beautiful and a freakin' ninja to us. You've been here for like two weeks and in none of that time has Ziva been here and the two occasions you have met her you insulted Zaria so of course she wasn't gonna be nice with you. Now because of you she's heartbroken and you stand here yelling at Tony not even ashamed of what you've done-"Abby's rant was interrupted however by a gruff voice.

"Enough Abs, get back to work. I want a word with these two" Gibbs blue eyes were focused on the people in front of him like a missile locked onto it's target. Abby nodded and went back to her lab.

"Boss I..." Tony stammered.

"I don't wanna hear it DiNozzo, right now the only thing I wanna know is why I just had a frantic Zaria run into the Bull-pen trying to find Ziva after she apparently ran out of the building after seeing you two making out down here"

Neither agent answered Gibbs.

"Agent Carlson, the director asked to see after I'd finished speaking with you and seeing as how you aren't talking I'm done speaking with you" Agent Carlson nodded and made her way to the director's office. When she was gone Gibbs glowered at Tony who refused to meet his Boss's eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING DINOZZO?"

A/N: Please don't hate me ! I just thought Tony would definitely think she wasn't interested if she willing spent a week away from him especially as she kinda did reject him in a sense earlier on in the story. Throw in a blonde and Tony's bound to screw up. It's Tony.
Review please xx Love Nathalie :D
