Safe Haven: Chapter Ten

Tony's POV

Chava shifts in my arms after a while and turns her face up to mine. Her blue eyes smile up at me and bring an enormous smile onto my lips. She called me poppi. It blows my mind to think that someone would call me dad. I never thought in a million years that I'd be called dad. But, this fifteen year old in my arms chose me, chose ME, to be called her poppi and it is the most amazing feeling ever.

"You should probably go back to sleep. Or at least go back down to my room. We don't want to have Mum waking up with neither one of us there."

"Why don't you come down too. You are going to need some more sleep, Chava. We don't need you getting sick." I peer down at her concerned. She just shakes her head a bit and laughs.

"I already know what is going to happen if I go to bed again, poppi. If you want to wake up to screaming and a fever stricken girl repeatedly, take me down stairs. But I don't think that's what you want because I know that I don't want it." She smiles softly at me and pushes away from me a little bit.

"Go. I will be fine. And if I go back to bed, I have an air mattress, a pillow, and some blankets. Plus, I need to rehearse for tomorrow anyways. I have a performance at the White House for an international convention or something like that. I also have to translate for some German President or their secretary. So I need to catch up on that."

I look at her with wide eyes, astonished.

"Wait. You are going to the INCA to perform and translate. We are going there tomorrow for a protection detail. The FBI, CIA, and NCIS all have to protect one person but no one knows who it is. We still have to protect the leaders and everyone else, of course, but they will have their own PDs. They said that this lady is one of the most important people in the room. All we know until we get there is that she's not a leader." I see her bite her lip as if she is debating to tell me something or not to. She looks up at me with a guilty-ish look on her face.

"I have to tell you something but you need to promise that you won't freak out. Okay?"

I nod my head to prod her on.

"I am the one who you have to protect. I am going to be one of the most important people there. I know a lot about the UNs plans because I have translated for everyone of those countries. A terrorist group could come and take me. If they get me to break, they know every war plan, every move, every strategy, every weakness of the United Nations. It has happened before. The PD wasn't protecting me and a terrorist cell got in and kidnapped me. Nothing happened, of course. The guys were caught a day later but still."

I stare at her with my mouth agape. How much has this girl been through in her lifetime? Abuse, Kidnapping. What's next? Near-death experience? Now she has to go to some convention to translate and perform, all while she knows that she is risking her life to do this.

"Avi...*" She interrupts me.

"I know. I will be careful. It will be okay. Now go get some sleep. I will be fine. Oh and when Ziva wakes up bring her up here again. I need to fill you guys in. You could also get your team. They could probably help."

"How did you know that I am in a team?"

"You said we have to protect someone not I and I am guessing you are NCIS because people tend to list where they work or their hobbies last. At least, that's what I gather. Am I correct?"

Flabbergasted, I just nod quietly. She chuckled and shoved me a bit.

"Go. Mum will be up soon. It is about five and when I was 'asleep' she would wake up about now and talk to me. And I have a feeling she won't like waking up alone."

She stands up slowly, pulls me up, and leads me to the door. I turn around before I step down and plant a kiss on her forehead.

"I'll be back up in a bit. Don't go too hard on yourself." I pull her into a hug and head down the stairs with a smile on my face.

Chava's POV

I watch as Tony glides down staircase. A smile appears on my face as I turn around and head back to the piano. Now what I tell you next might make you jump to conclusions. Conclusions that might make you think that I am crazy. I guess I am but still, just hear me out. When I was younger and the Millers left me home alone, I would daydream for hours on end. There would always be two people in my daydreams. The younger one's name was Tali and the older one was Rivika. They would help me color or read me books or sing me lullabies in Hebrew. This happened before I was abused

A little while after the abuse, I started seeing more people in my daydreams. The first person who came said that her name was Kate. She was the only one for about a week. Then a man named Ari came. They talked to me and encouraged me. After Mr. Miller was done abusing me, they came and got my mind off of it. We had a lot of fun together and even though I know they aren't real, I still think that they should be together. They are just too cute! (I am a huge romantic at heart!)

Anywho, more and more people started coming. Kate, Ari, Paula, he Frog (I don't know his actual name), Jenny, a guy named Agent Langer, Michele, Mike, Cade, Lavin, Eli, and Jackie are the nicer ones. They listen to me when I played the piano, violin, guitar, and when I sing. They help me with my dancing and with learning new languages. I think you get the gist of it. There were also bad people. They didn't start coming until I was maybe eight. Michael, Saleem, and Cobb were the worst ones. When they come into my dreams, Tali, Kate, and the others all jump up and form a bubble around me. Usually, Tali and Kate sit down with me and group hug me. Right then I will snap out of it and "wake up", so to speak, from my daydream.

Well, now that you know that, you can probably guess that I am having a daydream right now. Tali and Kate are sitting by the make-up area and changing room. They are the only two that help me get ready for performances. The sunrise is shining behind them and they have big smiles plastered on their faces.

"Hi baby girl."

"Hello Kate. Hello Tali." Tali turns to Kate with a mischievous smile.

"Kate? Are you thinking what I am thinking?"

"Totally!" They both look at me and scream in unison.

"MAKEOVER!"

I shake my head, walk over to where they are, and put myself entirely at their mercy.

"Do your worst to me."

A.N. I loved all of these reviews that I have gotten! You guys totally-otally ROCK MY SOCKS OFF! So thank you! I thought this was a good place to stop but I might be able to post this and another one tonight yet! I hope you guys like them! Here is a preview for the next chapter!

*Avi is pronounced ae-ve

Tony's POV

I walk into to Chava's room to see the sun rising through the window. Ziva is still where I left her, curled up and snuggled in a blanket on the bed. The light from the window shines onto her hair, making it sparkle and shimmer. On her face is a small, soft smile that makes her face glow. I head over to her, bend down, and kiss her forehead.

"Ziva. It's time to get up."

Her eyes open up to look at my face. Her smile gets a little bigger when she sees me. Her hands come up to wrap around my neck and pull me down for a kiss.
