Chapter 13 – Little Piggy Comes Home

Ziva woke the next morning held in Tony's comfortable embrace, her head resting on his chest. She opened her eyes and sighed in happiness; she loved this. She lifted her head and could just make out the clock; 5:30am. She pushed herself up on her arms then fell against Tony's chest as his arms pulled her to him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Asked Tony, his eyes still closed.

"For a run."

"Na-uh, you're staying with me."

"Tony, I need to go for a run."

"Nope."

"Tony…" Whined Ziva before she suddenly rolled herself out of his arms and sat on the opposite side of the bed, "Ha ha!" She said in triumph,

"Oh no you don't!" Tony grabbed her by the waist, pushed her on the bed and straddled her, tickling her sides. "This little piggy went to market, this little piggy went home. This little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none. This little piggy went 'whee whee whee whee' all the way home."

"Ahh!" Squealed Ziva; laughing "Tony! Stop it! Ahh!"

"What's in it for me, huh?"

"Anything! Ahh! Tony! I'll do anything! Ahh!" Laughed Ziva; squealing and squirming.

Tickling; her only weakness.

He stopped and raised an eyebrow, "Anything?"

"Anything you want." Whispered Ziva seductively,

Tony thought (being careful to keep Ziva pinned to the bed) then had an idea, "Move in with me."

Ziva's breath caught in her throat, "What?" She whispered,

"Move in with me, Zee."

"I- I- I do not know what to say… Tony… Of course. Yes. I will move in with you!" She pulled him down and kissed him deeply, rolling over so she was on top. She pulled back for breath then jumped up and started to walk to the en suite.

"Coming?" She asked as she pulled her over large NCIS shirt over her head.

Tony tripped over himself in his rush to follow her.

Twenty-five pleasurable minutes later, Ziva stepped out of the shower and rushed to dress (jogging shorts and a singlet). She ran down the stairs and into the kitchen where she grabbed a pear and her backpack then rushed out the door.

Kate and Ziva jogged steadily for an hour and a half before they stopped and walked into a small breakfast bar. They ordered and soon started to eat.

"So you never got to tell me what you do." Said Kate,

"I-" Ziva was cut off by her phone, "Shalom?" She answered

"Ziva, change of plan, say you have to do an errand come here, it doesn't matter if someone call you by your real name or you show you work her unless you're not in the building. Bring her to my office, Cynthia knows you're coming."

"Yes, ok."

"Thank you, Ziva. Bye.

"Bye." She hung up, "I have to run an errand after this. Seems Tony forgot, I reminded him, but he doesn't listen. I'll have to go by my apartment."

"Ok, do uh… do you want me to come?" Asked Kate hesitantly as she looked at the remains of her breakfast.

"If you would like to." Said Ziva,

They paid and walked the short distance to Ziva's apartment, once inside Ziva and Kate walked into the kitchen.

"I'll be right back." Ziva walked into the living room and quickly grabbed all the photos from the mantle above her fake fireplace and hid them under the couch, the only one remaining was of her and Tony laughing and kissing, taken one morning in bed. Ziva grabbed a case report she needed to hand in and shoved it in her backpack then joined Kate in the kitchen.

"We will have to drive."

"Ok."

Ziva drove sanely, obeying the speed limit; she didn't want to scare Kate away. They went the back way to NCIS, parking in the staff parking structure.

Kate started to get worried when she realised where they were even more so when they walked into the building and the Ziva showed the guard her badge and ID.

"What about her?" Asked the man,

"She's with me, George."

"Ok, Officer David, go through."

Kate's eyes widened. Officer David? This was not good.

Ziva pretended everything was fine, she walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the bullpen. She could tell Kate was scared, she would be too, if she was in Kate's situation.

Ziva walked to Gibbs desk where she put the case report, she turned and saw Tony had pinned up her bikini photos from LA on his wall divider. She sighed and took a pen and paper wrote a few words then replaced the photos with it. She picked up the photos and walked to her own desk, where she unlocked a drawer and dropped them, careful to lock it again after.

Kate stared at Ziva. Did she work here?

Ziva could feel Kate's eyes on her, but ignored them; she just took the lead and walked up the stairs to Jenny's office.

"Ziva, I was just about to call you again." Said Jenny, before noticing Kate. She stood and extended an arm, "Jennifer Shepard, Director of NCIS."

"Nice to meet you." Said Kate,

"It's nice to finally meet you to Kate."

Kate froze. This was all too weird. They had discovered her. She had one day left and her cover was blown!

"You're very lucky Kate, one more day and we wouldn't ever have met. Ziva's done a good job; she's a very good Agent."

"Officer." Corrected Ziva.

"Of course."

"Why am I here?" Asked Kate, authority in her voice.

"Well, I was under the impression you are here because I ordered Officer David to bring you here."

"And why did you order for me?"

Jenny laughed, Gibbs was right; Kate was a damn good agent. "To offer you a job of course." Kate just stared at her incredulously, "To offer you your old position. To give you the chance to be Special Agent Caitlin Todd again. To work with Gibbs, McGee, and DiNozzo. Gibbs does have quite a full team, but I don't see why one more could hurt, though your old desk is in use."

"She could use the desk I was to use before I convinced Gibbs to let me use her old one." Suggested Ziva,

"Well then it's settled." Said Jenny before turning to Kate, "Unless you don't want to of course."

"I- I- …Of- I- Thank you!" Kate was beaming, "Thank you so much director! You have no idea how much this means to me!"

Jenny chuckled, "You can start tomorrow; I've already filled out the paper work."

So Kate's back! yay. Well i have some good news for you all; Chapter 14 is already written! And if i get 10 reviews in the next, hmmm, 2 hours (from different people) then i'll post it today! If not then i'll wait until i've written chapter 15, then post it...
