A/N: OMG I was flipping channels and saw Jeanne Benoit (the actress who played her) on the show Trauma and guess what? She was a doctor! Go figure hahahahaha!!! Anyways I have been so inspired by all the reviews and alerts that I have received the last couple chapters I have written the next six chapters already. So if the reviews keep coming the chapters will keep getting posted!! LOL I really love your guys feedback and ideas!! So let me know what you all are thinking! Because if I like an idea I'll add it in somewhere.
It had been two months since Tony had seen Ziva in person. They talked on the phone or via web cam every night but it wasn't the same. He missed holding her in his arms and her sleeping next to him. He had started running and working out even more than before. He went out less too.
This had been a fairly slow week and it was Thursday already. They didn't have any big cases. They also weren't the team on call this weekend. He had already talked to the man in charge here in Rota and if nothing big happened today then Tony was on the red eye to DC. He hadn't told Ziva he was coming because he wanted to surprise her. And for once he really didn't want anything bad to happen. He had booked his flight for after his phone call with Ziva. He didn't want her to suspect anything. So as the day neared to an end he sighed with relief and headed to his apartment to pack.
She called right on time and they talked for an hour before he told her that he had a long day and was tired. She sounded disappointed but understood. He promised himself to make it up to her after hearing her disappointment. After they hung up he went to the airport and was on the flight to DC.
Back in DC
Ziva had just hung up with Tony. She didn't know why she was disappointed. She understood him being tired. It was almost 0130 there. She had just had a bad day and wanted to hear his voice. She took a long bath before crawling into her bed. Hoping tomorrow she would actually get a chance to talk to him on the web cam and see his face. She missed his face. It had been nearly two weeks since they had been able to talk over web cam. Most of the time they talked over the phone because she was still at work and it was late for him when she got off.
The next morning she sat at her desk working on her paper work. It was nearing 1100 and she had gotten into a groove. She had her ear buds in so she didn't hear the elevator ding. Mcgee had noticed Tony walking in and was about to say something but Tony stopped him by putting his finger to his lips shushing him. Mcgee nodded and looked over at Ziva who was still working on her paperwork.
Tony walked up and smiled when he noticed how focused she was. He just stood in front of her desk waiting for her to notice him.
Ziva finally noticed someone in her peripheral vision standing in front of her desk annoyingly. Thinking it was Mcgee asking if she was okay again for the hundredth time in the last two months. She looked up glaring but quickly changed her expression when she noticed it was her long distance boyfriend. She smiled and tore the ear buds out of her ears and rushed around her desk jumping into his waiting arms.
Gibbs looked over at them and rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing here, Tony?" She asked disbelievingly.
"Came to see my favorite girl." He said smilingly. She stood on her tip toes and kissed him softly.
"I am very glad you did. How long are you staying?" She asked with her arms still wrapped around his neck. His were resting comfortably on her hips.
"I fly out late Sunday night. But I just had to see you. I missed you." He said honestly. Just as she was about to respond the elevator dinged and out came Abby.
"TONNNNNNYYYYY!!!!!" She came running in. Ziva quickly pulled away and stepped out of her way to avoid being crushed by Abby. Because she was in bone crushing hug mode. Ziva heard Tony grunt as Abby ran into him and she laughed.
"Hey Abs. Can't breathe sweetheart." He said straining to get that out.
"Sorry." She said pulling back. "I am just so excited you are here. Why are you here? How long are you here for? Are you back for good? I would so love it! Your desk is still open and I kept your mighty mouse stapler and American pie mug. I also…."
"Woah Abs. I'm just here for the weekend to see Ziva mostly. And you of course. But mostly Ziva." He said smiling at her.
"AW! That is so cute! You flew across the ocean just to come and see her! How sweet is that? Okay well you have to do lunch with me today. And then you can disappear with Ziva for the weekend and I promise I won't bother you." She said winking at him.
He laughed and looked to Ziva who was laughing also. He slipped his hand into hers. "Okay Abs. Deal."
"YAY!! Can Timmy come too? I know you two have sort of made up at least when you called me you asked how he was."
"Yeah Probie is more than welcome to come."
"YAY!! Oh it is now 1130 we should go now!! Bye Gibbs be back in an hour!" With that Abby pulled the younger three agents to the elevator.
Gibbs just shook his head. It wouldn't have mattered if he had said no not a single one of them would have listened. He was getting sick of how Dinozzo was getting preference over him. Especially with his girls. Yes he considered them his girls. Abby and Ziva were like daughters to him. And Jen was mad at him as well. He went up to try and talk to Jenny. He did not like having her mad at him and he really wanted to know what he could do to fix his relationship with Abby and Ziva.
He as usual didn't bother knocking and just walked in. She looked up and glared at him. "Come on in Gibbs. What can I do for you?" She asked annoyed.
"Did you know Dinozzo just left with my entire team for lunch?" He asked clearly just as annoyed.
"I had heard he was coming in for the weekend. And it is lunch time plus your team is not currently on an active case so I don't see what the problem is. It's not as if he is interrupting you in anyway."
"Abby and Ziva still refuse to talk to me Jen. He is causing problems for me with my team. That's what he is doing. His spitefulness is causing problems." He said angrily.
"His spitefulness? Or yours? Your upset that he took that promotion after you came back in and took back your job as team leader. You thought that he would just continue to be your little whipping boy for the rest of his career. That you could continue to treat him as if he was insignificant. If Abby and Ziva refuse to talk to you it's because they both care for Tony and did not appreciate the way you treated him. Ziva admitted to him and apologized for the way she treated him, as did Tim. But because you see apologies as a sign of weakness you refuse. Even though you were wrong. If you want to fix this situation Jethro find a way to make this up to him. Otherwise those women will never talk to you ever again." She was practically yelling by the end.
He just stared at her in disbelief. He knew she was right. But didn't know how to make it up to Tony. He just stormed out of her office and back down to the bullpen. He needed to do something to show Tony that he was proud of him. Maybe if he forgave him then he would come back and the girls wouldn't be mad anymore.
The crew came in chatting happily. All stopped short seeing Gibbs sitting there. Abby said farewell and went back down to her lab. Gibbs noticed Tony was no longer with them. "Where's Dinozzo?" Gibbs grunted.
"He went back to Ziva's. He didn't want to bother us at work." Mcgee offered knowing Ziva wouldn't answer.
"Ziva go home." Gibbs said. He thought maybe if he gave her the rest of the day off maybe she would soften up towards him.
She looked at skeptically. Gibbs stood up and walked to her desk taking all her files from her and splitting half with Mcgee. She looked shock. "Go. I won't say it again."
"Thank you?" She said questioningly shooting Mcgee a look that said what the hell? Mcgee just shrugged and shooed her away. She walked quickly to the elevator and jumped in pushing the button closed still half expecting him to change his mind.
She drove a little faster than normal to get to her apartment. She bounded up the stairs and unlocked her door. She smiled when she saw the shocked look on Tony's face.
"How did you escape the warden?" Tony teased wrapping his arms around her waist.
"He told me to leave." He looked at her questioningly. "I know I was confused as well, but then he took all my files and split them between himself and Mcgee and told me to go. So I did. I was not going to argue with him on this one." She leaned up and kissed him passionately.
It did not take them long to end up in her bedroom. A couple hours later she collapsed exhausted on top of him and did not move. As she rested on his chest he rubbed random patterns on her back. Once she caught her breath she slid to his side but still maintained contact with him. She laced her fingers with his across his chest. Both completely content at last. Soon they were fast asleep.
They locked themselves in her apartment for the whole weekend. Not leaving for anything. It was Sunday afternoon and they were laying in bed wrapped up in each other. His flight left in a couple of hours. There moment was ruined with the sound of her phone ringing. She rolled out of his embrace slightly and grabbed her phone off the nightstand. Tony took the opportunity to roll over on top of her and kiss down her neck. She didn't bother to check the caller ID before she answered because he was distracting her.
"David." She said breathlessly.
"Ziva, It is your father. Have I called at a bad time?" He asked questioningly.
Her eyes widened and she pushed Tony off of her sitting up and pulling the sheet with her she walked across the room. Tony looked hurt and confused and then worried as she said "No, Papa. I was just going for a run." She lied. She hoped he bought it.
"Always training. That is my girl." He said.
"Yes. So is there a reason for this call father?" She asked sweetly. She didn't want him to think she was annoyed at the interruption on the time with boyfriend.
"Yes Ziva dear, I need you to meet me in Rota on Tuesday. I have already informed Director Shepard of your departure. You leave on Monday at 0700." He explained.
"May I ask why father?" She shot Tony a worried look and he got of the bed and slipped his boxers on before crossing to her and rubbing her arm.
"I will explain when you arrive. See you Tuesday dear. Shalom."
"Shalom papa." They hung up.
"What's wrong babe?"
"It looks like I am meeting my father in Rota on Tuesday." She said nervously.
"Why?" He was suddenly very worried.
"He said he would explain when I arrived."
He pulled her into a hug trying to comfort her. Both thinking he found out about them. Which would be bad. He could send her back to Tel Aviv and never let him see her again. They hoped that was not the case.
