Ziva knew she had hurt Gibbs by calling him dad instead of daddy, but she was hurt to the way Gibbs had reacted reminded her so much of Abba, he was always getting mad at her she drifted off to sleep.
Dream sequence …...
"ZIVA, GET HERE NOW"
"Abba?" Ziva mumbled
"YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME, SHE ALMOST DROWNED YOU ALMOST KILLED YOUR BABY SISTER, WHERE WERE YOU"
"I'm sorry Abba I was at the market with Ari"
"YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BORN, GO TO BED NO SUPPER"
"Abba I'm sorry" she sobbed, her father just struck her across the cheek. But the dream twisted and her father's face transformed into Gibbs
"Your a disappointment, I'm disappointed in you"
"It was and accident I'm sorry, it was an accccciiiiiddddeeeennnttt"
"I'm sorry Daddy, it was an accident I didn't mean hurt Abby or Tali I didn't mean it I won't do it again, I promise"
Gibbs woke to the sound of his child, being distressed. I ran along the hallway and looked into Ziva's room to find her tossing and turning, clearly what ever she was dreaming about was upsetting her.
"I'm sorry Daddy" when Gibbs heard that his heart broke he was the one that caused his little girl pain, if it had been anyone else he would have killed them, he'd kill for all his children if someone hurt them bad enough.
"Ladybug, wake up for daddy its just a dream, I promise baby-girl its just a dream"
"I'm sorry Abba, I know I didn't protect Tali, I will protect Abby though I promise Daddy, I Promise"
"Ladybug you don't need to protect her, your only a child and I know Abby told us you hurt her but we know it was an accident, we know, lets just forget this ever happened please" Gibbs cradled Ziva to his chest,
"That's not going to happen" Ziva mumbled
Gibbs went back through beside his wife and quickly drifted to sleep.
Ziva got out of her bed and decided to get back at Abby, she remembered a prank her and Ari, had pulled on a nanny they hated, so she got a tin of green paint and mixed it was a bleach solution, Abby's beautiful red hair was going to be no longer, she sneaked into her younger siblings room and slowly poured the mixture all over Abby's head before creeping back to bed.
Jenny woke up to Gibbs gently kissing her neck
"Come on sleepy head, we need to get our children up"
"OK you get the older ones and I'll get Abs"
Jenny wondered along the hall to Abby's room and opened the door
"JETHRO" Jenny shouted when she saw that her youngest daughter's hair was bright green
"What Jen, what's wrong, Oh my" Gibbs sucked in air when he saw his child's beautiful red hair was now a deep ugly green.
"Tony, Ziva here now" Gibbs shouted.
"Tony why did you do this, is this some kind of joke"
"Dad, it wasn't me, I loved Abs' hair, you know that" he looked over at his little sister who was sobbing
"Ziva, did you do this" Gibbs intense stare made Ziva smirk
"Yeah Daddy, I did, she needed to be taught a lesson and I gave her one"
"Ziva?" Jenny gasped.
"I can't believe you Ziva I really can't, I'm so upset with you right now" Jen said
"I will go get some hair dye she can't go round like that"
"Yeah, you'll have to get black as its the only colour that will go over the green, take Ziva with you, I just can't look at her right now I'm so angry"
"Sure Jen be back soon"
"Its OK Abs, mamma's here, Abs why you smiling" Jen truly was confused by her child.
"I always wanted black hair mama, I loved my red hair but I always wanted black.
"You're some girl, princess some girl, let's go bathe you to get some of the paint out before Daddy and Zee get back"
"Jen, we got it where back, where are use"
"Bathroom Jethro"
"OK"
"Daddy I'm gonna have black hair just like grandpa used to hair"
"Yeah baby, let's get rid of this green, the colour doesn't really suit you"
Ziva decided to go sit by the pool in the back yard, she knew it was wrong what she'd done but in her eyes Abby deserved it,
"Zee, what you doing?" Tony asked from behind her
"Thinking" she replied
"What about?" Tony sat down beside the small Israeli girl
"We used to have a pool like this in Tel Aviv ….." Tony was about to speak when Ziva continued
"My little sister Tali, almost drowned one day when I went into town with Ari, my big brother, the nanny we had was supposed to look after her but she was busy with a boy and Tali almost drowned until Abba pulled her out, but he was so mad a me he shouted at me like Daddy did and told me I was a disappointment when I said I was sorry and he struck me whereas Daddy shock me and it gave me nightmare's about Abba and Tali" Ziva sobbed Tony pulled Ziva into a bone crushing hug, whilst saying "Dad's nothing like that Zee, I promise"
"You guys want to come see Abs' new hair she loves it, what's wrong Ladybug?"
"Nothing" she mumbled before walking toward the house Gibbs shot Tony a look that said spill.
"When you grabbed her and shook her last night when Abby was hurt you reminded her of Abba, which I think is her father"
"And?" Gibbs was slightly confused
"When she lived in Tel Aviv her sister almost drowned her dad blamed her and when she said she was sorry he hit her, it brought back bad memories for her, she wasn't scared of you, she was scared you were like her other dad"
"If that good for nothing son of a bitch was still alive, I would hunt him down and kill him, I wish there was a way of bringing him back just to kill him again, no one hurts my babies no one"
"I know dad I tried to tell Zee that"
By this point they had reached the house and saw a heart warming sight Abby and Ziva hugging each other.
"Jen, what's going on?" Gibbs whispered.
"It was so funny, Zee apologised and Abby pulled her into a hug and thanked her for her new black hair, she loved it" Jen laughed Gibbs just raised his eyebrow and laughed
Abby ran over to Gibbs and threw herself at him, "Thanks Daddy for my new sister"
"Your welcome princess, come here Ladybug, group hug with ma two favourite girls"
"Well I'm offended, Tony your my favourite boy" Jen smirked
"Your my favourite in a different way Jen" Gibbs smirked and winked at her.
"ewwww" all three children shouted and the adults just laughed. Maybe there little family was finally coming together as a unit, they all loved and cared for each other life was bliss but there was someone lurking in the blackness of the night that the family where not prepared for.
