It was near 3:00 in the morning when Olivia finally got home. Alex was sitting on the couch with Mark in her arms and a bottle. Alex looked up.
"Hey babe. You're finally home. How'd it go tonight?" That's when Alex got a good look at Olivia's face and noticed a big bruise on her eye. "Liv what the hell happened tonight?"
"I was interviewing the perp and let's just say I hit a sore spot when I asked about his childhood."
"So he punched you?" Olivia just nodded and sat down.
"So how was your day?"
"It was ok. Sarah got invited to go see a movie with her class if we ok it. I told her I'd talk to you about it. Can we take the kids for a little while? Abby's exhausted and needs some rest."
"I have no problems with that. Where would we take them? What about Ziva?"
"Probably to the Zoo or park and I'm sure Ziva would want to stay here."
"You sure they'll get rest if it's just the two of them together?"
Olivia smirked. Alex just laughed.
The next morning Alex and Olivia got up extra early and dressed the twins. After Alex and Sarah went to school Alex wrote a quick note explaining that they had taken the twins out for the day so that Abby and Ziva could get some rest. Abby was very happy when she found out that she was able to sleep for as long as she wanted to. Ziva took the time to read things for her trial. She had been feeling much better lately and anxious to get her cast off. She also started to look at more wedding things. Wedding invitations, decorations, dresses and other random things.
Alex and Olivia decided to take the twins to the Zoo. They knew the twins were too young to understand what was going on but enjoyed walking through the zoo and looking at the different animals. They ate there then around 3:00 they decided to head back to pick up Sarah. They had had Liz go to a friend's house. Before leaving they bought the twins shirts and stuffed animals. They also decided to buy Abby and Ziva shirts even though they were sure if Ziva ever wore the shirt it would be at night or as a shirt to get dirty but they didn't care.
When they got back Abby and Ziva were in the kitchen looking at wedding magazines and laughing. Abby looked much better then she had the day before and hadn't put her hair up. Alex and Olivia gave them there presents and Abby and Ziva loved them. They were glad that they had the day of rest but still missed their twins.
