Author's Note: This is the sequel for Violation Wow, and yes, this is really OOC/AU, but I think it works. It'll be a multi. Enjoy!

"Ziva. David. She's Mossad." Gibbs had said, and immediately Kate had gone into one of her moments, she visualized events from the not so distant past. She was staring at Ziva as Gibbs continued to talk about the newest member of the team, "Kate? Kate!" he called her, to get her attention and waited on her eyes to flick from Ziva to his face.
She did just that and blushed a little as she looked to Gibbs. Kate swallowed and she bit her lip a little, "Mossad?" she questioned. Someone else in her past was Mossad; Ari her mind whispered as she felt her cheeks flush again, just thinking of him.
"Yes, Mossad. It's Israeli." Ziva then chipped herself into the conversation between boss and teammate.
"I know…" Kate answered a little too quickly and she flicked her gaze downwards then.
"I am a control officer for the suspected terrorist NCIS had encountered in the autopsy lab a year ago. His name is Ari Haswari, and I am under strict orders to bring him back to Israel alive." Ziva looked to Kate and she narrowed her eyes at the other female on the team, "But until then, I am working with NCIS to help locate him and return him back into Mossad custody as safely and quickly as possible."
"Of course." Gibbs then jumped into the conversation, obviously reading something was going on between the women he worked with, "We will work accordingly with you and Mossad, but remember, the case load NCIS has always happens to be priority, Ziva."
"Yes, Gibbs." she nodded and then looked to Kate a little.
She knows…Kate was telling herself as she glanced briefly to Ziva, 'She knows about Ari and I. Shit.' Kate swallowed and gently smiled to Gibbs, nodding as to agree with his comment, "Has there been any new word on Haswari's whereabouts, Gibbs?" she questioned, just to be involved in the team talk.
"Nothing yet, Kate." Gibbs looked to her and shook his head, sighing harshly.
Kate turned back to look at Ziva and she saw that the Israeli was glaring at her, now Kate did not like this new teammate the NCIS team had acquired for them. She frowned and cleared her throat to try and get Ziva to break from her reverie, but to no avail. 'She definitely knows…oh my God, Tony! He cannot find out from her! I only hope she hasn't said anything to him. Wait, does she even know we're together? Surely not…but what if…?'
"Kate? Kate?" Tony's voice broke through her thoughts and she looked up at him, "You wanna go out for lunch today?" he asked her and smiled to her, reaching forwards to touch her hand, "we can bring Dana too."
Kate smiled and nodded to Tony, "I'd love to, Tony."
'Dammit, I should've said 'baby'…!' she cursed herself and then smiled to him, "Obviously we need somewhere that's baby friendly and somewhere that will allow us to heat up one of her feeds…" she smiled to him before moving to her desk, at the same time that Ziva moved to the same desk.
- "This is my desk…"
- "This is my desk…"
Both women spoke up at the same time and glared at each other. Tony quickly averted his gaze but Gibbs watched the two, he wanted to know if he would have to send Ziva packing back home or make Kate take extra maternity leave. Neither he wanted to do as both women had become somewhat of an asset to him in their different ways; Kate because she had her profiling knowledge, she could handle Tony and she was a working mother, Gibbs always admired mothers who could go out to earn the bacon while there was someone to look after their children and then in the evening be the full time mother after working hours. And Ziva because she had Mossad agent training, she was deadly with even the most innocent weapons, she had told him personally five of the seventeen ways she could possibly kill him with a paper clip.
"No, this desk is mine, Agent Todd." Ziva told Kate and nodded, looking to Tony and then to Gibbs, "I was assigned to this desk almost a month ago."
"I've been on this team for almost two years now, and this has always been my desk, and now I'm back from my maternity leave, you're going to have to find a new desk." Kate told Ziva, slightly more forceful than the Mossad officer had spoken to her.
- "Gibbs."
- "Gibbs."
They both looked to him and Kate raised her brows, waiting for him to side with her since she'd been on the team longer than Ziva had been in the country on her Mossad Israeli business with Ari.
"Kate, I'm sorry I've gotta dash, I'm meeting with the Director of the FBI and with Fornell, you're on your own…get Tony or Tim to mediate between you…" he told her, calling over his shoulder, a sly yet amused smile creeping across his lips as he saw how Kate's expression changed and at how Tony slumped further down in his seat at his desk.
As soon as Gibbs had left the Bullpen, Kate turned to look at Ziva and both of them glared even heavier at each other as they eyed the seat at the desk. Kate felt her eye twitching as if she were in a Western movie and was about to have a shoot out with Ziva for the honor of the desk that was hers in the first place. She was not amused in the slightest at the current predicament she found herself in with her lover's control officer. Kate watched as Ziva looked over her husband and she swallowed a little, watching how Ziva looked over Tony. She bit her lip and she held her tongue before she smiled falsely, "You know, why don't you sit?" she said to the Israeli.
"No, you should sit." Ziva said back to Kate, and gestured the chair, "You are just getting back to work after so long away from the office, your feet must be getting sore by now."
Kate glared at Ziva momentarily before she sighed harshly and then said again, "No, you sit, you're a guest…" she smirked, knowing she had probably just won one over Ziva, "I can just as easily sit with my husband, Tony, or even on him…" she smirked even more, especially when Tony perked up at the sound of Kate's suggestion.
Ziva shook her head in disbelief before she gave in and thought that Kate had caved under the pressure and was not one for confrontation, she had noticed the crucifix around her neck and presumed that of her, however as soon as Kate had said Tony was her husband, Ziva's face had dropped. Ziva had not imagined Kate to end up married to a man such as Tony; immature, childish, handsome, arrogant, and everything else that came with Tony what she had saw over the last month. So, she rounded the desk she had been assigned upon arrival with the team last month and she pulled out the chair, sitting down, the chair flew backwards and Zivva tumbled off it and onto the floor.
Kate and Tony both burst into fits of laughter, Tony even stood up and he called out to Ziva who was still on the floor, "So, Porce-swine, how's the floor?" he asked her and shook his head, looking to Kate who was also still laughing at Ziva's misfortune.
