When Tony and Ziva arrived at the mall, Ziva grabbed Tony's hand and walked at a fast pace in the double doors.
"Ziva! Honey, calm down." Tony said and laughed.
"I am excited Tony." Ziva said and dragged Tony over to the jewelry store.
"I see that." Tony said and followed Ziva around the store as she looked at necklaces.
"Tony! I want this." Ziva said.
Tony looked at the white gold necklace Ziva was pointing at. It was a small solid heart with diamonds outlining the edge, a necklace that was simple but also elegant. It was just right for Ziva.
"I knew you'd pick that one." Tony said and asked the guy behind the counter to get it out.
"What are you talking about Tony?" Ziva asked him as the guy handed it to her.
"Turn it over." Tony instructed.
Engraved on the backside of the heart was this:
Happy Birthday, Baby
I love you
Yours Forever,
Tony
Tears welled up in Ziva's eyes.
"I love it Tony. How did you know I would come to THIS store and pick THIS necklace?" Ziva asked, letting her tears spill over.
Tony pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear, "I know you."
Ziva pulled away and Tony wiped away her tears with his thumb.
"May I?" Tony asked and held out his hand.
Ziva nodded and handed Tony the necklace. She turned around and Tony took off her Star of David Necklace and replaced it with the heart. Ziva placed her hand over the necklace and turned around.
"I love you, more than you know." Tony said and planted a kiss softly on her lips.
"Me too Tony." Ziva said.
"I got you something else." Tony said and pulled Ziva out of the jewelry store.
"What is it Tony?" Ziva asked as he pulled her out to the car.
"You'll see." Tony said and got into the car to drive home.
When they arrived home, Tony rushed into the apartment, his hands covering Ziva's eyes. He led her into the door and uncovered her eyes.
"Surprise!"
Ziva looked around, everybody was there. She saw EVERYBODY; Hadleigh, Marci, David, Callan, Maddy, Mike, Andrew, Olivia, Lilly, Cameron, Gibbs, Abby, McGee, Kyran, Jenny, Kelly, and most importantly, Tony, Aliyah, and Zachariah. There were presents stacked up on the coffee table and a huge cake on the dining room table.
Ziva smiled. "Toda. All of you."
"Of course Ziva. Here." Jenny said and walked up to her. Jenny handed her two plane tickets, to Rome.
"Oh my God!" Ziva said and Tony smiled, he knew nothing about this part.
"You never got a real honeymoon, so we're giving you one now. Either Gibbs and I or McGee and Abby will take care of Zachariah and Aliyah while you're gone and the plane leaves tomorrow at 12:00." Jenny said and handed Ziva the tickets. Ziva put them in the table drawer beside her.
"Thank you Jen!" Tony said and pulled her into a hug that could rival Abby's.
"Tony! Let me go, I can't breath." Jen said.
"Sorry." Tony said and let his director and friend go.
"It's okay. Now Ziva open the rest of your presents." Jenny said.
Ziva opened the rest of the presents, which included a very high quality set of throwing knives from none other than Hadleigh and of course Cameron and her parents, two picture frames; one containing a picture of her, Aliyah, Zach, Tony, Kelly, Kyran, and the NCIS team; and the other containing a picture of her, Tony, and Tony's family, and many other items.
After Ziva had opened presents and everyone ate cake, they all left except for Abby, McGee, Kyran, Jenny, Gibbs, and Kelly.
"Okay." Abby started. "Jen and Gibbs are going to have Zach and Aliyah for the first 4 days you're gone, and Tim and I will have them for the other three. So, we all have diapers at our own houses, but we need clothes, bottles, and a play pen for them to sleep in."
"Okay. Come with us." Ziva said and handed Tony Zach as well as Aliyah, when he stood up. They followed her into the bedroom.
"Honey, you can put them in their cribs." Ziva said to Tony and went to the closet and grabbed six good outfits and four pairs of pajamas for each of her babies and put that in one of the many black baby bags they had. She handed it to Jenny.
"Hold this for a second while I get more clothes for Jen and Gibbs." She said.
Ziva then grabbed five outfits and three pairs of pajamas for each kid, and again put them in a black bag, and handed it to McGee.
Before Ziva walked out she grabbed two extra black bags that were insulated to keep things cool and looked towards Gibbs and Abby and told them, "You can put Kelly and Kyran in that play pen over there while they sleep."
"Thank you Ziva." Gibbs said and laid Kelly down.
"Yeah, sure, now all of you come on." She said and rushed to the kitchen, Ziva wanted to get them and the babies out of here so that her and Tony could pack and get ready.
"Bit impatient are we?" McGee asked.
"Yes McGee." Ziva said and opened the refridgerator. She grabbed a gallon of the sterile baby water for each couple and then grabbed the two things of formula powder that the doctors said she could switch Aliyah and Zachariah to a few days ago. Breast feeding was too hard with her job. She opened up both of the insulated bags and put the water and formula in there. She then grabbed bottles out of the cabinet and put some in each bag.
"Okay, we all set?" Tony asked after Ziva zipped up the bags and handed one to McGee and one to Jenny. He was just as impatient as her.
"We just need the play pen." Abby said and laughed.
Tony and Ziva helped get everything to the cars and then as soon as the apartment door was shut, Ziva jumped on Tony and wrapped her legs around his waist. She smiled at him and laid her forehead on his.
"I see you're excited." Tony said.
"Yes, Tony. It is a week with you, alone." She said and kissed him passionately. Tony backed her up against a wall and then thought better.
Tony pulled away and Ziva frowned, "We have to pack or we won't get to do this for the next week."
"Well, we would, but, not in Rome." Ziva said and jumped off Tony's waist, a bit disappointed because he was right.
"Everything's always better in Rome." Tony said and led her to the bedroom to pack.
"I suppose it is." Ziva said and smiled.
