Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, I recently lost a close friend of mine and I have just started to feel better. Again, I don't speak French, so I am sorry if there are any mistakes.
Please read and review
Abby looked over to Ziva and saw that Ziva was looking over at her with a loving and comforting smile.
Abby smiled and leaned over and kissed her cheek before turning back to watch Palmer play with their daughter.
"Palmer?" Abby said with a caring smile.
Palmer looked up with a smile on his face as he held the glove a few inches away from his mouth.
"Yeah?" he said to Abby.
"Has she eaten yet?" Abby asked with a kind smile.
"Not yet, she won't eat when we try to feed her, I don't think she's hungry" he said with a defeated look.
Tali seemed to suddenly realize that her mother was in the room, she didn't realize that this other woman who suddenly showed up and made her mother have so many different emotions at once, was also her mother.
"Mommy," the small child cried out as she reached out with both hands for her mother, her hands closing and opening as she did so.
"Hi baby," Abby said as she let go of Ziva's hand and scooped her child up.
Tali buried her head in her mother's hair, the last time she had seen her mother, her mother had been crying and running as that strange woman chased after her.
"Mommy," she whined as her stomach growled loudly.
She was hungry, but the rest of her family didn't seem to understand that she wouldn't eat until she was with her mother again.
Abby's eyes turned to ice when she heard this and Palmer's skin paled quickly at the look Abby gave him.
"Oh yeah, she's not hungry," Abby said sarcastically with an angry voice.
"My dear Abigail, I am sure that Mr. Palmer had no idea that she was hungry," Ducky said as he walked in.
Abby's eyes softened as she thought this over, but her eyes quickly hardened once again when her daughter whined as her stomach growled once more.
"Weather he knew she was hungry or not, he should have tried to feed her more often then he did instead of distracting her with a glove," Ziva said as she walked up behind Abby and softly placed a hand on Abby's arm.
"I'm sorry, but we were talking to Abby about her kid, we weren't talking to you. Sense when do you care about Abby or her child?" Palmer said angrily.
Everyone knew that Abby had been horribly broken when Ziva left, no one knew exactly why, but they all vowed to never let anyone do that to Abby again, especially if that person was Ziva.
Ziva opened her mouth to say something, but Abby quickly interrupted her.
"That's enough you two, Ziva come on, we need to all get something to eat," Abby said whisking her daughter away toward the glass doors of the autopsy.
Ziva glared at Palmer for just one more moment, before fallowing Abby out of the autopsy.
"What would you like me to get?" Ziva asked as she caught up to Abby.
"Just let me get back to the lab and I will give you some money so that you can go out," Abby said as she patted her daughter's back and leaned forward to press the button on the elevator.
"Abby, I can pay," Ziva said as the elevator doors opened and she followed Abby inside.
"Its not up for debate Ziva, I am paying," Abby said as she watched Ziva press the button that would lead to the floor that held the lab.
"Abby," Ziva said as she leaned over and flicked the emergency 'STOP' switch.
"I have not paid for anything for either of you, allow me to pay for this small thing?" Ziva said standing in front of Abby and looking into her bright green eyes with her dark brown ones.
"Fine," Abby sighed as she finally gave in to Ziva's plea.
"Thank you," Ziva said.
She leaned forward and pecked her lover's lips before switching the switch off so that they started moving again.
Tali took her face out of her mother's hair as the elevator lights turned back on and the elevator gave a large jerking motion as it started to move again.
Both women turned their attention to their daughter.
Tali was used to her mother's eyes watching her, but she was not used to this new woman watching her with the same emotions her mother always had towards her.
Tali looked at Ziva slightly before blushing and burying her head in her mother's hair again, causing both woman to laugh.
Tali turned her head slightly so that she was peaking at Ziva, but her own black curls made covered her bright green eyes slightly.
"Hi, sweetheart," Ziva said in a soothing voice.
Tali smiled and giggled at the woman causing Ziva to smile brightly back at the small child.
Ziva saw so much of Abby in her daughter, but she saw a little of herself in Tali's curls and skin, it was lighter than her own, but it was slightly darker than Abby's pale skin.
The doors opened and Abby carried their daughter into the lab with Ziva right behind her.
Abby turned to Ziva suddenly, surprising the Mossad officer.
"Here take her," Abby said placing her daughter in Ziva's arms, surprising both the mother and child.
Both Ziva and Tali watched Abby with the same confused expression as the woman started rummaging around the lab, looking for something.
"Abby, what are you looking for," Ziva asked her lover.
"Found it," Abby said ignoring Ziva's question and reaching under her desk in the back room.
"Found what?" Ziva asked as she walked into the backroom with Tali attached to her hip.
"Her stuff," Abby said pulling the black backpack out from under her desk.
"Oh, why do you need her stuff?" Ziva asked with curiosity.
"To keep her distracted," Abby said as she walked over to a spot in the backroom that had plenty of space.
Abby took out the blanket with ducks on it and placed laid it out on the ground.
Both Tali and Ziva watched Abby work with curiosity sparkling in their eyes.
Abby then took out her laptop and turned it on at the edge of the blanket. Abby took out a movie and placed it in her laptop and brought it to the main menu screen. Abby then pulled out what looked like a thick piece of plastic, she placed it next to her laptop before once again digging in the bag. She then pulled out a small stuffed lamb, a little pillow, a little bag of dried fruit and a plastic tray.
Abby placed the stuffed lamb on the blanket next to the little pillow, she then placed the plastic tray on the blanket on the side of the pillow and poured some of the dried fruit on the tray.
Abby turned on her knees and held her hands out, indicating that she wanted Ziva to hand Tali to her. Ziva got down on her knees and handed Tali to her mother. Abby placed Tali in the middle of all of the stuff, she quickly pressed the play button, she then placed the piece of plastic over her laptop's keyboard, it fit perfectly and Abby tried to move it around a little to make sure it wouldn't move.
"There," she said as she leaned sat back on her feet, "That should keep her long enough for you to get her some food," Abby said watching as Tali watched the movie and ate some of the dried fruit.
Ziva leaned over and wrapped her arms around Abby before pecking her lips.
"I will be back soon, is there something you prefer me to get her?" Ziva asked as she leaned back, but kept her arms wrapped around Abby.
"Some burritos would be nice," Abby said looking down with a slight blush.
"What is wrong love?" Ziva asked as she lifted Abby's chin so that she would look at her.
"I am not used to people buying things for me, especially not food, I have started eating differently, its not exactly what you would call healthy," Abby said with a blush.
"Shush," Ziva said tapping Abby's nose lightly with her index finger.
"I love you no matter what you eat?" she said rubbing her nose against Abby's affectionately.
Abby was touched by the action, Ziva wasn't one to show her affections easily, but yet she had just given her lover an eskimo kiss.
Abby's own stomach let out a growl and she quickly looked to the clock on her desk.
"Twelve-thirty? How has it already been three and a half hours?"
"Time jumps when you are with those you love, yes?" Ziva said with a charming smile.
Abby laughed at Ziva's small mistake, but quickly stopped when she saw Ziva's confused and slightly hurt look.
"Time flies, not time jumps, but it was still sweet," Abby said as she leaned forward and pecked her lover's lips.
Ziva smiled and chased after Abby's lips when Abby pulled away, but Abby quickly stopped her.
"Not in front of Tali," she whispered.
"Your right I should not act this way in front of her," Ziva said with apologetic eyes.
"Its alright, now go get some food for your family," Abby said playfully and gently pushing Ziva.
Ziva smiled leaned back a bit.
"What kind of burritos do you want me to get?" she asked.
"Just get her a bean and cheese one," Abby said with a wave of her hand.
"And for you Ma reine?" Ziva asked kissing Abby's hand.
"The same, will you eat with us?" Abby asked with a smile.
"Yes, I will be eating with you, what do you want to drink?" Ziva asked as she pressed her lips to the back of Abby's hand once more.
"Anything you pick will be fine for me, I have milk juice in the cooler for Tali, I always have it here for her," Abby said with a smile.
They sat in comfortable silence for a few moments, until Abby's growling stomach broke the silence.
"I must go, my love," Ziva said as she started to get up, but she was quickly stopped and pulled back down by Abby.
"Promise you'll comeback this time?" Abby asked with her brow furrowed with slight worry.
"Je vous reviendrai toujours," Ziva said looking into Abby's eyes, before pecking her lips and leaving.
Ziva had told the truth, she returned as quickly as she could, she had skipped going to the bullpen and she went straight to Abby's lab.
"Hello my love," Ziva said sitting down with the bag fool of food and pecking Abby's lips.
"Hi," Abby replied.
She had moved Tali and her stuff closer to the wall so that she could charge the laptop if she needed to and Abby was now sitting against the wall.
"I got what you asked for," Ziva said handing her the bag.
Abby took the bag and got Tali situated with her food, movie and juice before returning to Ziva.
Abby stopped for a moment to look at Ziva.
"What is it?" Ziva asked with confusion.
Abby reached forward an tugged at the leather jacket Ziva had put on before she left.
"Take this off," Abby said as she sat back on her feet once more.
Ziva did as was asked of her and waited for Abby's next command.
"Relax, lean back," Abby said softly pushing Ziva back and guiding her back until she was sitting on her butt, with her legs in front of her and she was leaning against the wall.
Abby crawled over and did the same, except she took Ziva's arm and guided it over her shoulders so that she could hold it with one hand as she leaned on Ziva.
Ziva smiled and kissed the top of Abby's head before turning her head to the movie playing on the laptop.
"What are we watching?" she whispered.
"Horton Hears a Who, she loves it, I have to thank Tony for buying it later," Abby said smiling up at Ziva.
Ziva leaned down and kissed Abby softly, Abby allowed the kiss as long as Ziva didn't try to deepen it, they were quickly interrupted by a loud growl from Abby's stomach, Abby pulled back, but she didn't open her eyes.
"Sorry," she whispered.
"Don't be sorry love, I should be sorry, I have fed my child, but not my lover, I am not properly providing for my family," she joked grabbing the bag and emptying the contents.
Abby smiled when she saw that Ziva hadn't gotten a salad like most girls, instead she had gotten a burrito as well.
"I couldn't let you eat unhealthy alone now could I?" Ziva laughed.
"Although you could have picked something much worse," Ziva said as she took a bite of her food and looked forward at the movie.
