"Sleep well mon amour," Ziva whispered as she wrapped her arm around Abby once more as well.

"Sleep well, Ziva," Abby replied in her own whisper.

"Where is she?" Ziva asked her father.

"She tried to take you from me again, I had to punish her," Eli said simply with a shrug.

"Where is she!" Ziva screamed at him.

Eli said nothing, but he lifted the remote and pressed a button on it.

What happened next, chilled Ziva to the bone.

The room was filled with screams of pain and fear, Ziva knew that those horrible screams belonged to her beloved.

Ziva ran out of the room and tried to follow the screams.

Suddenly, as she ran down the corridor, the screams stopped.

"Abby," she called even though she knew she wouldn't get a reply.

"She's gone, Ziva," Tony said as he came around the corner holding Tali in his arms.

Tali looked much more at ease in Tony's arms then she had ever been in her own.

"I tried to make her see that she belonged with me, but she struggled and ran, so I had to kill her," he said simply.

Tony set Tali on the ground and the little girl grew until she had the body of a young woman.

Her green eyes now had a glint of hatred instead of mirroring Abby's with a sparkle of joy. Her skin now look much more like Ziva's, her round face was framed by long, dark black, wild curls, she held her tall body up with attitude with her hand on her hip and she had enough height to look down at Ziva with a smug smirk.

"What are you going to do with her daddy?" Tali asked with a voice that almost matched Abby's perfectly.

The question made Ziva feel as if Tali had reached inside of her chest and squeezed her heart until it had almost popped.

"I am going to get rid of her," Tony said as he pulled out the pocket knife.

Ziva found that she could not move suddenly, it was if her body was completely frozen in place.

She watched as Tony lunged forward and buried the knife in her stomach before pulling it upward, ripping her open.

"Ziva," she heard Abby call to her, this confused her, she thought it would be a little bit later that she would start to hear her lover call for her, but this could do.

Ziva watched as Tali's eyes softened with sadness before returning to their previous ice cold hard stare.

"Ziva," she heard Abby call to her once more.

"Come on, Ziva," Abby called as she shook her sleeping lover.

Ziva groaned in her sleep, but she didn't wake.

Abby leaned down and pressed her lips to Ziva's, she moved her lips against Ziva's hoping it would wake Ziva.

"Abby?" Ziva whispered against Abby's lips.

"Abby!" Ziva yelled as she sat up with fear in her eyes as she looked around the room.

"Ziva?" Abby called her lover as she looked on with concern in her eyes.

Ziva turned to see her lover, she then lunged herself at Abby, wrapping her arms around Abby and causing Abby to fall back onto her back with Ziva on top of her.

"I thought I lost you," Ziva whispered against Abby's still slightly warm skin.

"Shhh, Ziva, I'm here its okay," Abby cooed to the woman the same way she would coo to Tali when she had a nightmare.

"Tali?" Ziva asked when she realized the little one had not started crying from Ziva's outburst.

"Tony took her upstairs, she wanted to play and run around and she can't do that down here, she could get hurt," Abby explained.

Ziva felt a tang of jealousy that her daughter was more comfortable in Tony's arms then she was in her own.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Abby asked as she felt Ziva's heart start to slow.

"No, I just want to make sure your real," Ziva whispered.

Abby turned her head, cupped Ziva's cheek and kissed Ziva tenderly, her lips moving slowly against Ziva's as their tongues danced.

"Je t'aime, Ziva," Abby whispered when she pulled back.

"Je t'aime, Abigail," Ziva whispered in return as she got off of Abby and lied on her back next to Abby.

"Ziva, this has been bugging me for a while, I just want to know, since your Tali's mother, is she automatically Jewish, or is she Catholic like me since I'm her birth mother?" Abby asked with pursed lips.

Ziva smiled, turned on her side and grabbed Abby's hand while and started fiddling with it.

"Well, you gave birth to Tail, so I believe she would be raised as Catholic or whatever you want her to be, until she is old enough to decide for herself," Ziva said as Abby turned on her side as well.

"What if I wan't her to kind of be a part of both, like no eating pork and celebrating Jewish as well as Catholic holidays?" Abby asked nervously, she never thought she would be having this conversation with Ziva.

"Its up to you, I will be learning all of her customs along with her, every year you will have a new rule for our little family, we will all just follow along," Ziva laughed.

She knew that in their family, Ziva would look like the boss, but it would be Abby in the end who had the final word, Ziva would always consult Abby if she was making a decision or if Abby wanted something done, Ziva wouldn't be able to resist her lover's wishes.

"We are like a lion pride," Abby smiled.

"How do you mean?" Ziva asked with a content smile of her own.

"You are the lion, who sits around looks pretty and when a threat is around, you protect the pride. I am the lioness, I do the work and I make the decisions and our dear Tali is the cub," Abby said as she pecked Ziva's lips.

"You description of our family is quite accurate " Ziva laughed, "But I will help you do the work."
