BUT, on a happier note, I have reached 100 reviews! I love you guys =D

When they got to Abby's, Ziva knocked on the door. The young boy, who she had gathered was Abby's brother, answered the door. He smiled at them and waved before turning away, leaving the door open. Ziva glanced back at the others; Gibbs was waiting in the car outside.

She shrugged and walked in.

When they saw the scene, they all smiled. Abby was watching the TV, and her brother was sitting next to her. They were watching a movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, but in the corner of the TV there was a woman signing the words. Talia's head was in Abby's lap and she was obviously fast asleep.

"Hi guys." Abby said turning to them. She paused the movie, but didn't shift too much so she didn't wake up Talia.

"Hey Abby." Ziva smiled, "Is that your brother?"

Abby looked as Ziva gestured toward the boy.

"Yeah." She said, signing it with her hands too so her brother could understand. "His name is Julian and he is twelve."

Ziva waved at Julian, and he grinned and waved back. He signed something to Abby.

"He says you're very pretty and your little sister is very sweet." Ziva smiled warmly at the boy.

"How do I say thank you?" She asked Abby, who signed something that looked almost as if she was blowing a kiss. Ziva repeated the gesture towards Julian who signed something back.

"He says you are a quick learner." Ziva laughed.

"I think we should be getting Talia home." She said, and went to pick up Talia. When she lifted the little girl, Talia awoke.

"You didn't come and say good night!" She accused her big sister.

"I am." Ziva explained. "Now."

Now that Talia was awake, Ziva set the little girl's feet on the ground and signed 'thank you' to Abby.

"You're welcome." Abby said and signed simultaneously, and Ziva, Talia, Tony, Kate and Ari waved to her and Julian as they left her house. They walked down the steps up to the house and headed toward Gibbs' car. Ziva and Talia got into the front seat, and Kate, Ari and Tony in the back.

"Hello, Talia." Gibbs smiled at the little girl. "Did you have fun?"

"Abby is very, very nice." Talia said solemnly, looking up at the agent. He smiled back down at her.

"Are you tired?" He asked her, and she shook her head stubbornly. "Oh, I'm sure you are."

Gibbs' words proved true in the end, as when they arrived at the David's house, Talia was fast asleep on Ziva's lap. When he looked round, Kate was asleep on Ari's shoulder too. Ari shook her gently by the shoulder.

"Caitlin? Caitlin." Kate looked blearily up at him. "I have to go now."

"Okay." Kate smiled as Ari got out of the car. "Good night, Ari."

"Laila tov [1], Caitlin." Ari leaned down and kissed her forehead, before closing the door. Ziva gently lifted Talia out of the car and headed for the house. Ari unlocked the door and they slipped into the house quietly. Ziva carried Talia up to her room, and dressed the sleeping girl in her pajamas and laid her on the bed. Ari walked in and tucked Talia up.

Ziva leaned over her sleeping sister and kissed her forehead. "Laila tov, Tali. Ani ohevet otach. [2]" She stood up and embraced her brother.

"Ani ohevet otacha, Ari. [2]" She pressed her face into her big brother's shoulder. She had always felt she could trust him, and he acted more like a father sometimes. Ari kissed his sister's forehead, and gently removed a tear that was on her cheek.

"Ani ohev otach [2] achot [3]." Ari hugged Ziva tightly. It was a beautiful picture; a sleeping baby sister next to the two embracing siblings. Any photographer would have wanted to capture the moment.

"I have to go." Ziva pulled apart from her brother, tears making her eyes sparkle.

"Laila tov, Zaya." Ari stared after his sister as she descended the stairs. The door shut behind her, and he sat down on Talia's bed and stroked her hair gently, already missing his sister.

When Ziva reached the car, she sat in the back next to Kate, who had fallen asleep again, but this time on Tony's shoulder. She pressed her cheek against the cold glass of the window, and couldn't even be bothered to stop tears falling freely down her face about what she was about to do. It would rip her family apart forever.

They dropped Kate off at her home, which was a few streets away from Tony's, and then they dropped Tony off at his home. He leaned over and kissed Ziva on the lips, and wiped the tears from her face.

"I will see you bright and early tomorrow." He reminded her of what was going to happen tomorrow and she sighed as she remembered that Jenny had mentioned about the warrant for her father's arrest in the morning and the court case tomorrow.

"Good night, Tony." She smiled sadly up at him, and he walked off to his house, then turned and waved. He waved at an empty street though, Gibbs had already driven away. Tony sighed and walked into his quiet house.

"Mom? Dad?" He called out, but received no answer. Then he remembered that his mom had said she'd be away at some business conference or whatever, so she wouldn't be home. His dad would be doing what came naturally to him. Spending Tony's inheritance money on alcohol and the occasional illegal, but always expensive, substance.

He flicked off the lights as he walked through the deserted house, got ready, and then went straight to bed. That night he dreamed of Ziva, only they weren't happy dreams. Not at all.

In his dreams, or nightmares, Ziva had to leave for Israel, or died, or got kidnapped. It was a restless night for Anthony DiNozzo, with the addition of his father coming home at four in the morning, raving drunk.

Gibbs drove Ziva back to his house, and parked his car outside the garage.

"Did you have a good night?" He asked her as they walked toward the front door.

"It was fun." Ziva said. Her mind was occupied by thoughts of the next day.

"Well, I'm glad you had fun." Gibbs said, studying her as he unlocked the door. Ziva's mind seemed slightly detached from her body; her brain functioning on a different circuit. He pushed open the front door. "Jen?"

There was no answer, and Gibbs thought she must have gone to sleep already. "I'll go see how she is. Make yourself a drink if you want one."

Ziva watched as Gibbs headed up the stairs, and went up after him to get ready for bed. She was just getting changed into her pajamas when she heard Gibbs yell.

"JENNY!"
