Kate stops running, she regains her breath. "Again,who had the messed up leg?" She asks, when her boyfriend finally catches up. It had been two months after the car crash, and they had spent mostly everyday together. She had been helping him study and he helped her with therapy.
"Hey, I was taking it easy on you." She laughs "Yeah right, Navy if you're going to be top of your class you need to run more" He sighs, before wrapping his arms around her.
She smiles, "What do I get for coming in second" She smiles "Hmm, I'll have to think about that" She says causing him to smile .
"But I get this for coming in first" She says before capturing his lips, he licks her lip asking for permission which she grant with pleasure. He push her closer to him by her hips, while she ran her hands through his hair.
She pulls away for air smiling. "Now, what do you get" He smiles "Forget about me..." He was leaning back in she pulls away, causing him to sigh.
"I need to get back home we have school" He sighs.
"Tell me again, why we like high-school" She smiles "Because, It's the best years of our life so they say" He pulls her closer to him causing her to smile.
"But it's cutting into my time" She smiles before looking at her watch."Okay, I got thirty minutes. " She says before kissing him.
The kids had went to school and lets just say they all had about the same kind of day, you know the hit him with the left and come back swing with the right.
Kate walks into the livingroom to find her mother and father standing in front of the twins. "Hey, I'm going to start my homework, and I signed up for The high school program at Georgetown, In two weeks...Oh and I got into a fight but don't worry, I saw the error of my ways" She says before trying to sneak upstairs.
" Kate, come take a seat next to the other offenders." She sighs before taking a seat in between the twins, she looks from side to side.
"what you in for?" A.J sighs. "For starting a fight. you?" She sighs. "for jumping in front of a girl who a guy was using has a punching bag. you? "She asks tali who was glaring at her twin.
"For defending him" She points at A. J who rolls his eyes.
Tony sighs. "It's your first day of School, and you all got into a fight" Kate raises her hand.
"I Was defending a girl, I couldn't just stand there, and Did I mention about George town, I can graduated with a Bachelors in Computer forensics." She says smiling.
Tony and Ziva looks at each other. "what about high-school" Ziva asks, causing her daughter to smile.
"I get my diploma, but my graduation will Be at GeorgeTown" They both smile. "we are proud of you, but can you held all that work." Kate nods smiling at her father.
"Yes, I have two of the greatest tutors, who are my godparents" Tony smiles looking at Ziva who nods.
"Ninja, go ahead and start your homework, we'll talk later" Kate jumps up kissing the two on the cheek before running upstairs"Good-luck, Pouting faces" She yells before going to her room.
Tali sighs. "I already have to be in a play, and have detention for helping my brother. who I love and couldn't see this face be hit" Tali says while grabbing her brother's face he glares.
"You got two seconds to let go of my face." A.J mumbles, she release his face giving her father a wounded puppy look which was making him cave.
Ziva raises a brow."Tateleh, you're grounded for 2 week, and no television," Tali hides a smile.
"you mean no movie night marathon, It was James bond week I was so looking forward to that" She says, trying to fight off her excitement, Tony gives Ziva a pleading look, causing her to give her daughter a evil smile.
"No tateleh, you may join us, we all get that enjoyment" Tali sighs. "Worth a shot, Ima-leh can you help with My French Homework, first day of school and she want's us to understand the word buried alive, i'm serious it's a pile" Ziva smiled
"Of course, I'll be right. up..."Tony cuts her off. "I got him Zee, help our daughter get back on track," Tali rolls her eyes with a smile.
Ziva nods."A.J, I didn't teach you how to fight to start them. It was..." A.j cuts her off. "To defend myself and others, and i'm sorry, It won't happen again" She kisses his forehead before following her daughter upstairs.
Tony stares at his son before taking a seat next to him on the couch. "Why, did you start the fight, Buddy, you're the level head one. So who were you defending" A.J sighs staring at his father.
"It's your fault for letting her leave the house looking like that" Tony stares at him confused.
"they kept talking about her, and some kid say something about her so I hit him" Tony nods, finally understanding what he was talking about.
"What did he say about, Tali" A.J makes a face. " Stuff, that she was hot...on what planet is she hot" He sighs. "and just stuff, that they thought they could make her do" Tony eyes grow with rage, he looks at the stairs to make sure the close was clear.
"You followed through with the punch" A.J gives him a smile."Oh yeah, even Matt master the art of fighting when the kid's buddies jumped in. We were doing fine, but they outnumbered us, and Tali came out of nowhere and started to live up to your nickname for her." Tony gives him a weak smile.
"Buddy, I know you were defending Tali, but you can't hit every guy who thinks she pretty, but you can defend her with your mouth. Okay, not your fist unless it's the only way to protect her." A, J nods leaning back in his seat.
" She's getting older and Guys are going to be around her, but they will keep there distance now that they know you're looking out for her. Also, I have a feeling they're not going to be saying anything about her in front of you." A.J sighs.
"I know, but they still think she's pretty" Tony smiles "buddy, she is pretty, and that you can blame you mom for" A.J gives a look. "I do, but it's not her fault guys are stupid" Tony smiles
"Buddy, How did you get put on the basketball team, has a punishment weren't you signing up"A.J gives his father a smile. "I didn't let them know that...and I still have to do the play with Matt and Tali" Tony smiles.
"Buddy, I'm proud of you for standing up for her, but you and I have to learn that she can defend herself, and guys can talk but your sister is not naive. She can make the right decisions and if she needs a little help she's haves you looking out for her" A.J gives his father a smile.
" I know, you should have seen what she did to this one kid, he's not going to walk straight for weeks" Tony laughs before turning serious.
"Buddy you're still grounded, but I got your six okay" A.J nods with a sad smile. "Is it going to get easier" Tony sighs shaking his head. "No son, it's just beginning, Your a good man, you need a drink, I know I do" A.J nods getting up.
" What flavor shake Chocolate or Vanilla" A.J sighs "I need both" Tony smiles "So do I" he says walking into the kitchen.

"Happy birthday little one" Her mother kisses her forehead causing Kate to smile. "Thank you, So can I open a present please" She asks with pleading eyes, that causing her mother to shake her head while her father just caves. " Okay, One Gift" Kate smiles.
"Yes!" She yells, Tony smiles before throwing her a set of keys, that was giving him a heart attack, she's been driving, but ever since the accident he has became more protective, and more concerned.
Ziva made him see the light that she needed a car, and that she has been doing so much that she deserved it.
Kate looks at the keys that looks like her father's Camaro except it had a black strap across it. "Daddy, is this what I think it's to" Tony nods smiling. Kate runs over hugging the two, before running outside.
"I'll take that, she like's it. I'm going to make breakfast, why don't you go for a drive with her" Tony gives a weak smile.
"She doesn't want me to go, she's probably going to Alex's" Tony says a little depress, She gives him a smile before kissing his cheek.
"life might surprise you" She says, before going over to the stove when Kate pops her head in. "It's amazing, Thank you guys so much...Daddy are you coming" Tony just stares at her shock.
"Okay, if you don't want to" She says backing out slowly, He smiles before running. "Wait for me Ninja," Kate laughs "J,B waits for no one" She shouts, Ziva giggles 'god help the twins,' She thinks to herself before returning to her task.

"Don't forget about me" Tony smiles "Who can forget about you, I'm going to check on your mom, Be careful" Kate smiles while A.J jumps in the front seat.
"We'll be right back. "Kate says, while her sibling bulked up.
The team came over a little later like they did every year, plus her boyfriend and his parents, They were talking for a while before kate gives alex a little nod to the kitchen, he gets up and follows her cue. Her father was getting up when Ziva places a hand on his thigh, giving it a few pats. Telling him to stay put.
Kate smiles before pulling her boyfriend outside the snow falling down around them. "Roadrunner its freezing" She raises something green above them causing him to smile. She leans in kissing him on the lips.

"Hmm, So what makes you think I'll wait for you?" She asks with a mocking tone causing him to smile before leaning in capturing her lips, his hands moved to her cheek. She wraps her arms around his neck deepening the kiss, he leans her down against the snow sending chilies through her body.

"I know, and I told you I like her, she is more obedient they you" She teases causing everyone to laugh.
A few months later...

"She's my goddaughter, Sorry, I didn't get her sooner I was in the middle of chemistry exam" She says, while her father places the little bundle in her arms, she smiles at the little girl who was looking up at her.
She felt butterflies in her stomach, remembers a image of a little girl. She will see her again, but right now she was holding her goddaughter who was a little bundle of Joy. She knew one day it would be her turn in welcoming her daughter in the world, and that she would get everything she wanted.
She kisses the little girl on the cheek, Ziva smiled watching the way she was with the baby, while Tony does the same a sad smile accompanied his face, knowing soon or later, hopefully more later than sooner. He would have to come to terms that she wasn't little anymore.
"What's, her name" She asks, while kissing her hand, rocking her back and forth , humming a lullaby that her mother used to sing to her. "Samantha Amelia Palmer" she smiles, at the name her Aunt provide her.
