"I can't believe we're doing this…" Ziva whispered as she stood in front of a judge, holdings hand from the dark haired man who stood across from her.

"Hey, you don't have to agree to do this, " Anthony Dinozzo started to say before he was interrupted.

"No, I want to do this. I'm just shocked at the fact that you do" she smirked before the Judge began to go through his routine of marrying couples at the court house.

The whole time the judge spoke, Ziva could feel her heart thumping through her chest. She felt like she could throw up at any moment because this, this was the rest of her life. She held onto Tony's hand a little tighter and he squeezed her palm to reassure her.

"Now, Anthony Dinozzo Jr, if you would like to say your vows please do that now" the Judge spoke.

Tony cleared his throat and began to talk, "I've never been the guy who wanted this, at all. I never wanted the same woman next to me for more than a week. I never liked the idea of being that cheesy, whipped boyfriend who would do anything for a woman just because, " He chuckled and noticed the scared look on Ziva's face, "But, all that changed as soon as this foreign woman walked into the NCIS headquarters nine years ago. God, I still remember the scent of your shea butter and coconut lotion when you walked by my desk. Then, you purred your name out and god, I was a mess right then. You had this look in your eyes, fierce and mysterious. I just remember wanting to know more about you, wanting to actually get to know you because within three seconds of standing in front of my desk, you drove me insane. You were the first woman to ever challenge me and somehow, in the beginning you never fell for my Dinozzo charm, " they both laughed, "I ended up getting to know you, we became closer and we spent so many nights together watching movies and just cuddling on the couch. Things went awry when you came back with Michael though and I was so jealous. God, all these years I could never stand the idea of another man holding you. I have been so deeply in love with you since you showed up, your brunette hair all wild and that tan bandana on your head. Still, every time I see you now my heart skips a beat like it's the first time we're meeting again. I'm so happy that you're standing here with me right now, Zee. You're beautiful. There's honestly no one else that's ever made me feel like this and you're the only woman who I ever want to spend the rest of my life with and have little ninja, Dinozzo's running around. I can't wait to begin our lives together, our forever… I promise to always keep you safe and happy. Without Ziva David, there is no Anthony Dinozzo." he smiled at her and looked back up at the judge.

Tears welled up in Ziva's eyes as the Judge nodded for her to begin her vows "In a million years, I could never of imagined standing here, waiting to be married. I was never going to get that option if I had stayed in Mossad. I am thankful that I came to D.C nine years ago to find my brother and instead, found you. No, I did not fall for you in the first moments of our meeting. I thought you were some disgusting, pig-headed playboy who had no plans of ever staying with a woman for 25/7"

"24/7, babe" Tony corrected her.

"24/7," Ziva murmured while rolling her eyes "and you always fix my English which drives me crazy, but adorable at the same time because it shows you care. You have always cared… you have always had my back and I cannot thank you enough for being my rock these past nine years. I do not know what my life would be like without you. You truly have saved me, from my past and everything that I had become because of it. I never pictured having a normal life where I would be so in love with a man that it actually hurt to be away from him. You saved me and you were my hero in Somalia, even when I had hated your guts and hoped you got hit by a bus" she laughed, "You are my hero and you will always be. I promise to return all the happiness and love you have given me these past years and show you that I can also be your hero, Anthony, if you let me" she smiled at him.

"Alright," the Judge began "If you have nothing else to say, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" he clapped his hands together.

Tony grinned widely at Ziva, cupping her face in his hands and placing a passionate kiss on her lips. They both smiled into the kiss as their lips moved in unison at a promise at what would be forever, their forever. Soon enough, they pulled away figuring they could celebrate later and signed the marriage papers that the judge gave them before running out of the court house hand in hand.

Tony opened the door of his new red mustang for Ziva, kissing her hand as she got in "Mrs. Dinozzo," he smirked and shut the door, jogging around to the driver's side feeling like he just won the lottery.

"Baby! We did it!" He cheered as the mustang's engine roared and he grabbed onto her hand again, holding it tightly.

"We're married," Ziva smiled, tears in her eyes at how unbelievably happy she felt in this moment.

Tony leaned over before pulling away, sealing another kiss to her mouth "Now, let's go get some celebratory dinner milady"

Ziva rolled her eyes, "Food is always on your mind, Mr. Dinozzo"

"Well, not always" he raised his eyebrows suggestively at her.

"Pig," she hit him playfully.

"Ow!" Tony pretended to hurt as he drove down the road. "We've been married for five minutes are you're already beating me!"

Ziva giggled, looking out the passenger door mirror, seeing cans and confetti flying behind the car "Tony, we have garbage stuck to the car"

Tony laughed, "It's not garbage babe, it's our Just Married sign." He smiled at her confused look, "When couples get married, when they drive away there's always a sign on the car that says "Just Married" and there's confetti and cans to make noise. It's a celebration,"

Ziva kept staring at the mirror, smiling "I want pizza,"

"Christ, you are the love my life" Tony smiled, lifting her palm up to kiss it again.
