Laughing a month later with her friends while Aliyah chased them around the backyard Ziva watched as Ivan jumped onto Aliyah's back yelling "Dog pile!" happily which made Aliyah gulp as everyone except Akiva, Tali and Phillip attacked him yelling "Dog pile!" happily. Trying to get away Aliyah called "ho…" but was cut off when he fell to the ground as the kids piled onto him with bright and happy smiles on their faces. Smiling fondly Akiva watched as Ziva and Ivan proudly sat at the top of the pile with evil smirks on their faces while Aliyah playfully glared at them, trying to escape saying "when I get out of here, Zevy" playfully which made Ziva chuckle before she jumped off and kneeled down next to Aliyah.
Frowning slightly Akiva watched as a smirking Ziva whispered into Aliyah's ear which made him look at her as a smirk broke out onto his face while Ziva stood up and whispered something into everyone's ears, making them smirk as they quickly climbed off of a still smirking Aliyah. Starting to feel uncomfortable because of the smirking man and kids that was staring at her Akiva made to say something when a smirking Ziva called "Dog pile!" pointing at her which made her eyes widened saying "don't you dare…!" but trailed off when the group tackled her to the ground in a dog pile with big, bright smiles on their faces.
Gasping slightly Akiva laid under the pile of kids looking up at the sky as a smirking Ziva appeared above her saying "are you alright, Akiva, your face is kind of red?" amusement evident in her voice while the others chuckled at Akiva's glare. Ziva was still chuckling when a smirk appeared on Akiva's face which made Ziva stop chuckling saying "Oh shit…" "Ziva's it!" a smirking Akiva called which made everyone jump off her and head for Ziva, who chuckled nervously saying "shit" before she side stepped Ivan and started running which made everyone chase her around the yard while Akiva, Tali, Jane and Phillip chuckled at the site.
Panting slightly Ziva ducked under Sarah only to be tripped by Aliyah, who smirked yelling "Dog pile!" happily as they all jumped onto Ziva, who just disappeared under the mass of body parts. Everyone was still chuckling when "Ziva?" which made everyone turn to a panicked Shabel, who was looking frantically at closed eyed Ziva. Frowning Akiva and the others quickly headed to the scene where the kids and Aliyah was huddling around Ziva with concern evident on their faces before they stepped aside so that Akiva could look at their friend. Akiva was about to check if Ziva was unconscious when she saw a smirk tugging at the corner of Ziva's mouth which made her sigh which made Aliyah ask "is she okay honey, is she going…" "Physic!" Ziva said sitting up with a smirk on her face which made everyone sigh in relieve before Ivan growled saying "stupid" head slapping Ziva before everyone followed suit and slapped Ziva, who sighed saying "joy killers" glaring at a smirking Akiva.
Standing up Akiva held out her hand to Ziva asking "who's hungry?" which made everyone nod eagerly while Ziva took Akiva's hand to help her stand up properly before Aliyah called "last one in get's the least!" happily. Hearing this made everyone rush to the house, almost throwing fists as they quickly descended the stairs to the house while Akiva and Aliyah chuckled happily.
Sitting at the table happily with Ziva leaning into his side while they eat Ivan smiled as ZIva and Shabel smirked at each other while they glared at each other before Ziva pulled a face which made Shabel laugh as Ziva smiled smugly saying "cough it up Bell" holding her hand out to him. Chuckling Shabel shook his head saying "Fine" playfully glaring at Ziva as he gave her a candy bar which made Akiva raise an eyebrow while Ziva and Shabel kept smirking at each other before they glared at Nathan, who smirked saying "wow love birds, we're eating here, you know" teasingly while the others laughed. Smirking Aliyah asked "Oh Zevy is this your little boyfriend" before adding "Now young man, we have rules in this house…" but was interrupted when Ivan fake coughed saying "pervert" under his breath which made ALiyah glare at him while the other's chuckled.
Smirking Ziva took Shabel's hand over the table saying "love they got us" dramatically which made the other's chuckle at Aliyah's stunned expression while Shabel kissed Ziva's hand saying "my apologies my lady" gaining a playful glare from Ziva, who winked at him before leaning back into her chair asking "Aliyah what's wrong?" looking questioningly at the man with a smirk on her lips. Sniffling slight Aliyah turned to his wife saying "Honey our little girl has grown up, she's leaving the nest" dramatically which made everyone chuckle until Akiva hugged him dramatically saying "I know" sniffling slightly while the others laughed at their antics.
Sighing happily looked at Tali and Phillip, who were lost in their own world, before she turned to Gimil saying "Gimil I think your brother has the hot's for my sister" which made Gimil chuckle saying "dream on you pervert" amusement evident in his voice as he looked at the two toddlers while Ziva gasped saying "I'm not sitting next you at their wedding Gimil" teasingly. Chuckling Gimil said "I don't want to sit next to you either, you smell" "take that back" Ziva said adamantly as she glared at the smirking boy, who shrugged saying "Oh kitty got claws" mockingly which made Ziva smirk saying "Oh you have no idea just ask Ivan" stunning Aliyah and Akiva while the others chuckled as Gimil said "Oh you freaking pervert" breathlessly.
Sighing in contentment Ziva slumped down on the living room next to Ivan and Tali saying "I'm tired now" happily as Ivan wrapped his arm around her shoulders saying "Yeah, I'm wiped" while Ziva pulled Tali to her saying "Hi Natalia, did you enjoy yourself today?" looking questioningly at her little sister, who smiled tiredly saying "Yes Zi…" which made Ziva smile saying "she's wiped too" as Tali snuggled into her lap. Smiling at the site from his position at the kitchen table Aliyah turned to Akiva as she said "Ali do you know what tomorrow is?" looking questioningly and sadly at her husband while she did the dishes. Sighing sadly Aliyah said "Yes tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Ziva's mother's death, honey" as he glanced at the children in the living room while Akiva sighed saying "Yes so…" "How is she going to be tomorrow, she was happy today honey?" "I know and I don't know how she's going to be tomorrow but I think we should keep an eye on her, just in case okay?" "Okay, what about school, we can't keep an eye on her there?" "I know but we'll determine that tomorrow love, okay?" Akiva said sadly as she placed her cloth neatly on the counter before she and Aliyah joined Ziva and the others in the living room.
