She smiled. She stepped of the plain and a stewardess smiled politely at her, "Shalom miss." She said in Hebrew,

"Shalom." Said Ziva,

She walked down the corridor towards her gate and followed the signs to the luggage conveyable. She waited five minutes before she saw her small suitcase; she grabbed it and turned around. She grinned broadly at what she saw.

"Michael!" She yelled running towards him, she dropped her bag at their feet and placed her hand on his shoulders, jumping into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, she kissed him all over his face; not caring if she got him in the cheeks, nose, eyes, or lips.

Michael grinned, chuckling, "Shalom Ziva."

Ziva pressed the side of her face to his and whispered, her lips brushing against his ear, "Shalom Michael." She sighed and buried her face in his neck, smiling.

Michael kissed the top of her head. "I missed you, Ziva David."

"And I missed you, Michael Rivkin."

"Home?"

"Yes."

When they arrived at Michael's place Ziva went to the bedroom and changed into just a singlet and fresh underwear then brushed her teeth, Michael walked up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his head on her shoulder.

"Ready for bed?" He whispered,

Ziva nodded, and he picked her up, carrying her to the bedroom and placing her on the bed.

"Goodnight Michael." She yawned

That night Michael held Ziva in his arms and she let down her guard, relaxing before falling into a dreamless sleep.

"Goodnight, Ziva." He whispered before kissing her forehead.
