Chapter six
A/N: Megan am I to understand that you've been abused or in an abusive relationship or do you know someone with experience? Well I assure you I am fully aware of what an abusive relationship entails. I was changed schools in the fifth grade due to extreme bullying (I was hospitalised by my bully) and given a student a year older than me as a guide, he abused me physically and sexually for six years (primary into high-school) before he slipped up and threatened to kill me with a police officer right behind him. I am fully aware of the tolls abuse takes on people, I have two brothers and more uncles that I can count (my dad is the youngest of 13 children and my mother is youngest of 8) no I would not wish anything on them but you need to remember that this is FICTION we are writing on FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. It may not be your ideal and I get that but why continue reading?
A/N: I don't like writing long chapters because I think it tells too much of the story at once making the fic shorter.
A/N: the show isn't mine
Ziva was just heading home from her appointment with Aliyah after her last day on half days, good, she was getting bored of not doing anything real but she knew she had to stick it out and go slow she didn't want to end up where she was, she didn't like that place. Ali said to her that going back was a good idea as was telling the team, she had even asked if she could meet the team so Ziva had sent a message to Tony asking if it was okay if she brought Ali with her to team drinks and they'd all agreed, so they finished their session early and headed home to get ready.
Ziva had picked her favourite green dress, his favourite green dress, that green dress, the one from when they went undercovers. She was waiting for Tony to get home so that they could leave, paired with her favourite black heels she'd just finished fixing her hair when arms wrapped around her. She'd only been home a month but she was getting used to Tony sneaking up behind her for cuddles when she wasn't paying attention, either he's been spending too much time with Gibbs or she was losing her touch at the kisses he was placing on her neck she decided that she didn't care which it was. For the first time in just about ever she was actually happy. "You look beautiful baby" he whispered into the crook of her neck before placing one last kiss on the crook of her neck and moving away to get ready himself.
Ten minutes later they were heading out the door to meet up with Ali and the others, Ziva had sent her a message earlier telling her where to meet the team, "end of week drinks" had, thanks to a particularly talkative suspect had turned into "end of case drinks." The drive to their bar was a quiet one but not uncomfortable, Tony held Ziva's hand until they arrived where he only let go to get out and open her door for her before taking her hand again and walking into the bar together. Abby wrapped her arms around them both at full speed as soon as they were through the door, laughing at her antics they walked with her back to the group and Ali was already there talking with Ducky. "Hello Ziva how was your afternoon?" Ali asked as soon as she spotted Ziva, "it was good, I did some reading and cleaned up a bit at home, someone," Ziva replied looking pointedly at Tony "does not know how to put his clothes away when he gets home." Laughing and giving Ziva a small kiss Tony answered his girlfriend with "well if I clean up after myself what are you going to be doing in the afternoon when you get bored of reading?" shaking her head with a smile Ziva looked up with a cheeky smile at her boyfriend saying as sweetly as possible "I'll be working in the afternoons Tony" causing the whole group to laugh the couple.
By the time they were all ready to leave Ziva hugged Ali goodbye with a whispered agreement to meet on Monday, everyone parted ways but it seemed Abby had decided to go home with Ziva and Tony, they didn't mind though at least she wasn't going home with that creeper who was grinding against her when she was out on the dance floor. Gibbs had even needed to get involved, the girl may not be able to handle her alcohol but just about everyone knew come tomorrow she'll be fine.
The next morning Tony woke up alone in bed, which wasn't unusual not really. He got up and wondered towards the kitchen where the girls where already up and eating breakfast, with a peck on the cheek for Abby and a kiss for Ziva, Tony reached for the coffee pot. "Gibbs sent Abby and I a text message this morning, we have the weekend off" Ziva said over the top of her tea "we were thinking of going shopping now that Ziva has her car back, do you wanna come?" Abby put in. "only if I get to drive and I don't have to hold your handbags." Both girls gave a mischievous laugh and he knew he'd have their bags by the end of the day.
After breakfast they got ready and headed towards Abby's so she could change her clothes. Half an hour later they arrived at the mall and the first things the girls did was pass Tony their handbags so that they could try on some clothes. Shaking his head he resigned himself to his fate, it's all part of being the boyfriend he mumbled to himself he knew he'd be carrying their bags before he even mentioned it, just like he knew that despite Ziva's insistence against it even a few empty threats to cut it up he'd put all hers and Abby's stuff on his card.
As lunchtime rolled around his predictions came true. He didn't mind playing pack mule especially when he can see her having fun and smiling. "Hey baby, do we wanna head for food? I'm getting a little hungry bub, and I'm sure you and Abby are as well." Tony called out as Ziva and Abby looked in a window of a shop. "In a minute Tony, come look at this it is adorable." Tony paused for a second 'adorable? What the heck are they looking at?' he thought to himself, confused and bemused at to what his girlfriend and little sister were looking at he made his way over to the window they were looking through and realised that they were looking into a pet store window at a rather cute (not that he'd admit it) puppy. "Can we go in and look Tony can we?" Abby asked eagerly nodding at her he followed the two inside the store.
Picking up some food for Kate he walked around the store finding Abby and Ziva cuddling the tiny little puppy they'd been looking at through the window, it was a cute puppy and Ziva looked beautiful laughing at the tiny thing licking her face, Tony turned to the owner "what is the adoption price on the pup?" he asked, the owner looked up towards the women "there is none, the little thing wondered into the alley behind my apartment the other night, filthy and abandoned, I only just got him eating this morning. You want him treat him good." Nodding at the man Tony asked him to get the stuff they'll need for the little doggy before walking over to the girls.
"Hey baby, I think this little guy needs a name" Tony said scratching the dog behind the ears "a name Tony, why are we naming him?" Ziva questioned confusedly, "because we just adopted him" Tony answered with a smile, "now c'mon do we wanna eat here or take this one home?" he said wrapping his arms around Ziva who cuddled in before replying "home I think, what about you baby boy you want to see your new home?" the three took a lick to Ziva's cheek as a yes, so grabbing the stuff from the owner and the rest of their bags they headed home with an excited little puppy in tow.
