At ten p.m., after Tony and Ziva had officially adopted Aliyah, Gibbs sent everybody home for the weekend.
"Tony, we do not have a car seat for Aliyah." Ziva said when they entered the bullpen to get their bags.
"I'll go home and get Tali's then come back and get you three." Tony said and laid Zach down in his car seat.
"Okay. Can you also put up the crib?" Ziva asked.
"Yes, I'll try and hurry." Tony said and kissed Ziva and his kids goodbye.
"Where's DiNozzo going?" Gibbs asked when he saw Tony walk into the elevator.
"To get Aliyah a car seat and put up the crib." Ziva said.
Gibbs put down Kelly's car seat and sighed. "If he couldn't do it the first time, he can't do it this time."
"What are you talking about Gibbs?" Ziva asked.
"When Tony was putting up the cribs the day you and Jen were out, he had to call me to help him." Gibbs said.
Ziva laughed, "Can you go help him, Gibbs? Please." Ziva asked.
Gibbs looked at Jenny. "Go honey. I'll be fine here with Ziva and the babies." She said and nodded.
"Okay. Bye Jen. Bye Ziva." Gibbs said and ran to the elevator.
"Bye!" Jen and Ziva yelled after him.
It was midnight by the time Gibbs and Tony got back.
"What took so long?" Ziva said when Tony handed her the car seat.
"DiNozzo here, had things all screwed up." Gibbs lied. What Gibbs and Tony actually did was paint Aliyah's name on the wall between Zachariah and Tali as a birthday surprise for Ziva.
"I am not surprised." Ziva said and looked at Tony.
"Hey!" Tony said, offended.
Gibbs intervened in the ranting that was about to ensue and said, "Ziva, Tony, you haven't had a night to yourself for a while. I was thinking that Jenny and I would take Aliyah and Zach for the rest of the night and the weekend for your birthday tomorrow." Gibbs said.
"Okay…. But, I forgot all about my birthday." Ziva said.
"See. You're over worked." Gibbs said and picked up Aliyah and Zach's car seats.
"Yes she is." Tony said and grabbed Ziva's hand.
"I do not know, Tony." Ziva said.
"Come on, honey. Don't complain, just take the offer and come on!" Tony whined.
"Fine. But, you don't have any bottles for them." Ziva said to Jenny while Tony dragged her to the elevator, with Gibbs, Jenny, and the kids behind them.
"You stored enough here to last years, we already have some of them now. We have the clothes you stored too, and we have diapers at home." Gibbs said.
"Fine!" Ziva said, trying to forget her separation issues as they walked to there car and parted ways with Gibbs, Jenny, Kelly, and most importantly, her kids.
"Happy birthday Ziva." Gibbs yelled after her. Ziva didn't say anything, to lost in her own thoughts.
"Honey, it will be okay." Tony said firmly and opened the passenger door for her.
"I know." She said and sighed.
"Okay. Now let's get home." Tony said and walked around the car and got in.
When Ziva and Tony walked into the apartment, Tony immediately covered Ziva's eyes.
"Tony, what are you doing?" Ziva asked.
"I have a surprise for you." Tony said.
Tony took Ziva to the babies' room and uncovered her eyes.
"Do you like it?" Tony asked.
Ziva turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love it Tony."
"Good." Tony said and Ziva crushed her lips to him. The kiss deepened and Tony picked Ziva up and carried her to the bedroom.
