A few months later. It had been almost three years since Tony had died. Willow was sixteen now and Andy was 2 and a half. He could walk now. And was talking more and more every day.
Willow was sneaking back into the house on morning, at 4:15. She climbed into her window and hopped into bed after changing into pajamas.
The next morning, she sat at the breakfast table with Ziva and Andy. Ziva cleared her throat. "I've got something to tell you, Willow..."
Willow looked up with food in her mouth. "Yeah?"
Ziva took a deep breath and just spit it out. "Thomas and I are getting married. He proposed last night."
Willow nearly choked on her breakfast. "WHAT?!"
Ziva couldn't tell if she was happy or upset. "Are you okay with that?"
Willow nearly screamed. "NO!! I mean, you can't do that!!! It's barely been two years since dad died! And you're getting married!!! Mom you can't do that!!!"
Ziva was tired of it. "I can do whatever I want, thank you very much. Willow, it's been two years since... Your father died. It's time to move on. You were fine with me dating. And Thomas is a nice man. You know that."
Willow sighed. "You love him?"
Ziva nodded. "Not the way I loved your father. He will always hold a special place in my heart. But I do love Thomas. And he won't replace Tony. Not in any way. But he will be my husband."
Willow bit her lip. "Okay..."
"Okay?"
"I'm slight happy for you..."
Ziva smiled. "I see so much of your father in you."
Willow half smiled. "I gotta go. Love you mom."
She leaned down and kissed her mom's cheek and left for school. Willow walked to school, completely unprepared when she was grabbed and yanked aside. Then someone put a piece of cloth to her nose and mouth and she passed out.

Three hours later, she woke up in a room. It was in SAG. People were talking around her. Willow shot up. "What's going on!?"
Caleb was there. He had gotten to know her better as a friend. She didn't know him though. he came and sat next to her. "There's been something going on. We needed to show you. You're the only one that can do it."
Willow looked at the file they showed her and gasped. "He's the terrorist that killed three children. The one you really need to worry about. And you are simply to do the task written."
Willow looked. "I can't do that! What if he tries to kill me or my family?"
"That's where your training comes in. You were trained for a reason."
Willow gulped. "I can do it. But don't ever drug me again."
Caleb nodded and half smiled. "Okay. I'll take you back to your school. The mission begins immediately."
Willow finished her school and went home. Ziva and Thomas were making dinner around 5. Willow walked down and sat at the table.
"So, Willow, I guess you're mom told you the news?"
Willow nodded. "Yep... I'm happy for you guys," she choked out.
Thomas smiled and kissed Ziva's cheek. Willow smiled. Their 'love' was cute. She still didn't believe her mom loves Thomas. She couldn't betray Tony like that. But as she looked around, she thought of how sad the situation was...
