So much Tiva! The episode was so good! I give props to the writer and Cote. I honestly wonder what she thought of to make her act so upset when talking about Tali. "The love of a sibling" line really hit me. I don't know what I'd do if one of my siblings died.
Spoilers: This chapter is very Ziva centric. Oh, and speaking of Spoilers, Alex Kingston is going to be on NCIS next week! And Cote and Pauley get to be in more scenes together! Anyway, I don't own the title, Disney's Pocahantas does.
If I Never Knew You
Ziva looks at the clock on her desk. She has maybe ten minutes until Abby calls panicking over the whole family not being together. Sighing, the agent turns down the music and grabs her coat and keys. Taking one glance back to make sure she has not left anything, the agent's eyes rest on her partner's desk. Smiling she makes a mental note to thank him later.
Ever since her sister's death she has never missed a chance to go to an opera to remember her in either Mossad or NCIS. Her sister had been so carefree and loved everyone. Ziva knew she would be a star one day.
Unlocking her car, the agent smiles to herself. Maybe her sister had become a star. Not one on stage, but a guiding one. It was almost as if Tali were looking out for her sister, returning the favor of years of helping Tali grow up.
Ziva parks on the street at Gibbs' house. Knowing her time sitting in the bullpen has probably made her tear up, she checks her eyes in the car mirror. After making sure she looks presentable, she opens the car door. As she steps onto the street she realizes that Tali had been her and Tony's first serious conversation. In a way, her sister brought them together. Shaking her head as she walks up to the house, Ziva's mind wanders to all the good things her partner has done for her over the past seven years.
Still smiling, Ziva is caught off guard when Tony opens the front door.
"You made it." He says returning her smile.
"Yeah, I did." She responds softly as he lets her in the house. As she shrugs off her coat she stares at her partner. Knowing Abby will be tackling her any minute with a hug, Ziva smiles and simply says, "Toda."
"Prego." Tony replies.
