When Ziva and her siblings managed to reach their home via taxi, Ziva did something she hardly ever let herself do; she cried and not just a few stray tears. She felt as if she had been ripped apart in front of everyone she had ever met. She didn't want Tali and Ari to think she was weak, so she locked herself in her bedroom after complaining of a headache.

Ziva had been in her room for well over an hour. She was sitting on the floor leaning against her bed. She had changed into a pair of cargo trousers and a top; she had also fixed her hair in a high ponytail. She had managed to stop crying. 'Why am I so upset? I didn't think he would not have moved on, did I? How do I move on?' Ziva's thoughts were interrupted by Tali speaking through the door.

"Ziva, are you feeling any better? Can I get you anything? We were going to order some take out if you were feeling up to it. Well?" Tali is always so caring. Ziva smiled at this. She got up checked herself in the mirror and decided she looked okay enough to open the door. "Are you okay? I didn't wake you did I?"

"No; I was just reading" she lied, what else could she say?

"Are you hungry? We didn't get to eat a lot at the wedding; and I have heard Ari's stomach rumbling for the last half an hour" Tali giggled.

"Then we best get some food in him" Ziva said as she motioned for them to go downstairs. They went into the kitchen were Ari was pouring some cola for himself and Tali.

"Ah, Ziva, I am glad you are feeling better. Would you like a drink?"

"Please" she nodded and sat down at the kitchen table.

"So what take out are you in the mood for?" Tali directed the question to Ari.

Ari handed around the drinks and joined his sisters at the table. "I have read about a diner around here; we could go and get something and bring it back?" he suggested.

Ziva's heart rate picked up, she knew exactly which diner he was referring to; it was the diner where she had first seen everyone. Could she really go back there, especially in the state she is in at the moment?

"Or not" Tali suggested as she saw Ziva's face turns to stone and lose all colour.

As Ziva heard Tali she was snapped out of her thoughts "No, no you, we can go if you want" she wanted to be strong or at least just look strong. "How would we get there?"

"Oh, yeah, while you were upstairs the car father ordered was delivered" Ari explained with a huge grin.

"When is your motor bike getting here?" Ziva enquired; she knew Ari could hardly live without his bike.

"Tomorrow morning with everything else, by the way early tomorrow morning Amit Hadar is coming from the Israeli embassy to show us everything in the house, father says it is quite special" Ari informed his younger sister. They had met Mossad officer Amit Hadar of a few occasions; Ziva never fully trusted him.

"Shall we go to get dinner than, I am starving" Tali piped in with a smile.

"Yes, Ziva?"

"Yes of course" Ziva gave a false confident smile.

"Good, let's go" Ari said grabbing the car keys; Ari really wanted to test the car out on the D.C's streets.

In a matter of minutes; because of Ari's driving they had arrived at the diner. Ziva wouldn't admit it but she was nervous; what if she saw someone she knew?

They got out the car and strolled over to the diner doors. For Ziva every second felt like ten. She wanted out of there and she wanted out now.

As they walked through the doors Ziva did a quick scan of the room, she seemed to be okay. The three Israelis went over to the counter and order three cheeseburgers and fries to go. When they collected their order and paid they made their way back to the doors.

Someone caught Ziva's eye; Jimmy. He was sat in the booth nearest the door; that is why she hadn't seen him when they entered.

It was too late to run he had seen her. He smiled at her. She looked towards Ari and Tali who told her they would meet her at the car.

She went over to Jimmy where he was sitting with Breena.

"Hey Gin … sorry Ziva; force of habit. What are you doing here" he knew the answer was obvious but he had to start a conversation.

"We were just getting some food. You did not get a lot of food at the wedding either?" she smiled gesturing to the food in front of them.

"No, Tony seemed to eat the whole buffet" he joked but then realised his mistake when a hint of pain at the mention of his name that appeared on Ziva's face. "Look how about tomorrow you and I and Kate if you want, meet up and get some coffee, just to talk and catch up?" Jimmy offered "I mean if that is okay with Breena" he looked towards his girlfriend, she nodded.

"I would like that very much, thank you Jimmy. Is the afternoon okay for you, what about Kate?" Ziva now had a genuine smile plastered on her face.

"Yeah, I spoke to her earlier, do you want to meet at one o'clock at Kate's house, we could have lunch out?"

"That would be perfect, I will see you tomorrow and let you get back to your food, good bye Jimmy, Breena, and once again it was nice meeting you" she smiled at the couple and walked away.

As she got into the car Ari started the engine.

"What happened?" Tali asked intrigued as she noticed the smile on her sister's face.

"I am going to meet up with Kate and Jimmy tomorrow for lunch"

"That is good, ready to go the food is getting cold" Ari reported dryly from the front seat.

"You are just hungry Ari and you get moody when you are hungry" Tali teased this caused Ari to smile.

The siblings had finished their food and had moved into the lounge.

"Have you two had a proper good look around the house?"

"Ari did, but he won't tell me what he found" Tali stated whilst crossing her arms over her chest in a joking manner.

"I want it to be a surprise" Ari stated with a small, sly smirk. Ziva just threw a pillow at his head, it would have hit him if he hadn't have moved.

"Ziva you should not throw things" Ari informed once again with that smile. The next thing Ziva knew a pillow had just smacked her in the side of the head. She look towards the direction that the pillow came and saw Ari staring at her full on grinning.

"I thought you said we shouldn't throw things" Ziva smirked.

"No, you misunderstood, I said you shouldn't throw things; you are not a very good shot."

"I'll show you who is not a very good shot" Ziva jumped up on the sofa and grabbed the pillow he just threw at her. Ari jumped up and grabbed another pillow. It was a standoff. Ari faked about to throw the pillow which fooled Ziva into throwing hers at him, it would have hit him in the stomach but he moved his pillow down to deflect it. Now Ari had two pillows and Ziva had none. Tali just sat and watched; she did not want to get involved in a pillow fight with two trained assassins. Ziva went to run but Ari sandwiched her between the two pillows he possessed.

Ziva screamed "Ari, let me go"

After a few seconds of trying to get free Ari released Ziva and she sat back down breathless and tired. She couldn't help thinking that, this is how life is supposed to be; fun and relaxed.

Just gone one o'clock in the morning the three exhausted Israelis made their way to bed. It had been a long day, and an even longer day was on its was, of moving everything that they bought with them from Israel into their house, a meeting with Hadar and Ziva having lunch with Kate and Jimmy. In a matter of seconds the house was quiet and they were all asleep.
