Tiva and Densi (Caskett) ~ Protection.

Part 22, Answers

*Ziva POV*

"Dear Ziva, Zi, Ziver, sweet cheeks and any other nick name I have ever called you. I know we aren't together for very long by now, but it feels like we've been together since the first time I met you. All the flirting, touches and looks made me fall in love with you more and more. I know it's hard for you, but I want to be with you forever and I love you with my whole heart. I want to be able to call you my wife and wake up to your face every morning and see your face before I fall asleep every night. Zi I know it's hard, but know that I will not leave you, I love you way too much to leave you and if you ever think I will, turn around and I'll be right there. So Ziva David will you do me the honor of becoming my wife, will you marry me?"

I have tears in my eyes and I can't bring a word out. I see that Tony gets a sad look in his eyes and as soon as I can I give him my answer. "Yes, yes I'll marry you Anthony Dinozzo." Tony stands up and puts the ring on my finger. I smile and put my arms around his neck and give him a passionately kiss. "I love you Tony." "I love you too sweet cheeks."

*Kensi POV*

"I don't really know what to say, so I just say what comes from my heart. I have been building up these walls for the past years since my father died and I left my mother. I never let anyone get through them, because I was afraid to get too attached and that I was going to get hurt again. Then I met you and you broke down my walls until you came to the last one and I just pushed you away, because that's what I do every time someone gets to the last wall. But you kept trying and never gave up until you were through my last wall. You're always by my side and never give up on me and I thank you for that. I know it's not the easiest with me and I know I let you wait a long time, but I just needed to get myself ready for everything again. I love you Deeks for always being there for me, for being my partner, for being patient with me and for loving me like nobody else does. I love you for who you are Marty, your irritating facts, your weird kind of humor and always explaining to me the right use of 'touché'. I love you and I hope we can make this work and you know that 'I love you' are not the three words that are getting out of my mouth fast, so know that I really mean it."

Deeks looks at me and has the biggest smile on his face what makes me smile as well and turn my head a little down, because I'm getting a little bit shy. "Why are you smiling like that?" I ask. "Because I just heard three times from the love of my life she loves me and I know it makes you smile and I just love your smile Kens." I smile and look up at him. "And there it is."

We look each other in the eyes and we get closer every second until our lips meet in a passionately kiss. It's the best kiss I ever had and I'm glad we're finally together. I finally got the courage and told Deeks how I feel. We pull away for air and I see Ziva and Tony walking towards us.

"Thank you Ziva." I scream and I can see her smile. "Your welcome Kens, you two are so cute together." Ziva says and I smile. Deeks has his arms wrapped around my waist and Tony has his arms around Ziva her waist. Ziva holds her hand up and I see a ring on her finger.

"Omg, congratulations!" I say and give each of them a hug. "If you ever hurt her, I'll find you Tony." I say and get a typical Tony reaction. "Well I should get that reaction from Gibbs not from you." He says sarcastically. I smile and give him a punch in the arm. "Hey! I thought I was your personally punching bag, are you already cheating on me." "Don't be such a baby." I say and then Deeks congratulates Ziva and Tony as well.

We grab the stuff from the beach and walk back to the house. We drink some champagne together and then go to bed.
