Safe Haven: Chapter Eleven
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. My hand reaches to her face and holds it in place. We pull apart after a few minutes and I take her face in both of my hands.
"Come on. We gotta get up and call the team. Then, we have to meet Chava on the roof."
A curious expression appears on her face. I smile at her and shake my head.
"Don't ask."
I help her out of the bed and send her to the bathroom with some fresh clothes. Right then, my phone buzzes on the bedside table next to me. Picking it up, I look at the caller ID.
Gibbs.
"DiNozzo."
"Have yourself and Ziva ready for the convention by two. I know you don't want to leave Chava, but..." I cut him off.
"Yeah about that boss. You need to come to the hospital. Meet us by the reception area on Chava's floor. She's got something to tell us. Oh and can you pick up McGee and Abby."
"We will be there in ten. This had better not be bad."
He hangs up before I can say anything else. I sigh and shake my head. I head over to where my best tux is hanging up and some of my toiletries are. McGee brought the tux for me yesterday evening when everybody came to see Ava. After taking off my OSU t-shirt and putting on deodorant, I slip on a white undershirt and my white dress shirt, button it up, and tie my black tie. I then grab my black pants and suit jacket and walk into Ava's closet.
When I am all dressed, I slip out of the closet and grab my new black dress shoes. When I bend down to put them on, I hear the bathroom door open and see a pair of black strappy heels. After I am done putting on my shoes, I turn around and take her in. She is wearing a black one-shoulder dress that comes down to her is a little bit of bling on the right side by her waist. The black fabric is flowy and flares out when she spins for me. My mouth drops open and I am speechless. When she turns toward me, she has on a shy smile, her head is dropped, and she is blushing. Her hair is down and straight and she has on big diamond, hanging earrings. She has on a little mascara and some lipstick.
"Am I okay?" Her shy smile fades into a face of worry and she nervously starts smoothing down her dress, not looking up at me. I catch her face in both my hands and rest my forehead against hers.
"You look stunning." I lean down slightly and kiss her lips. "I love you."
"I love you too, Tony." I look into her eyes to see them welling up with tears. Whipping a tear away, I smile at her and take her hand.
"Come on. Let's go. We gotta go meet Gibbs, McGoo, and Abby."
Free, light-hearted laughter spills out of her mouth. An enormous smile breaks out on her face. A joyful sparkle lights up her eyes and takes my breath away.
"Okay. Let's go."
A.N. Hey guys! Okay so I thought I would get you guys some backround on the story so this is going to be a longer authors note.
First thing's first. I brought Kate, Tali , and the others in because I wanted it to be like they were helping her and protecting her for Ziva. (Since Ziva didn't know her daughter was alive and being beaten.) Kate and Tali are the main ones that will be brought up but every once in awhile there will be another one. Kate and Tali are Chava's best friends and they help her pick out clothes, makeup, and other stuff like that.
Second, there will be more songs in this fic but they won't be all the time. There will be one for Chava's performance of course. That is the next one coming up.
Thirdly, there will be more mommy/daughter moments in the next chapters, along with daddy/daughter and Tiva moments. There will also be McAbby but not as much. Just little snippets.
Fourth, I love you guys! You totally rock! Thank you for reassuring me with your awesome comments! I love all the feedback I am getting! If you have any ideas for this story review them to me. (that didn't make sense but I think you know what I am getting at :DDD haha) I will try my hardest to put them in this story or maybe they will help me with another story! :D Reviews are always welcome! Also, if you don't like something, PM me I will try to change it but it might not get there, so be prepared if it doesn't change. It doesn't mean that I am upset. :D I also may not answer back in a PM. I might just do it in a A.N. I hope that's okay! Love all of you! :DDDD
Fifth, Sorry that this was really short. I have been having some writer's block with this chapter. But the next chapter will be longer.
