Going Home

"So we are flying back to DC?" Tony asked her for the millionth time.

"Yes Tony I said I was ready to go home." Ziva said softly.

"They still don't know you're alive. Don't you think that's a phone call they deserve?" Tony asked her.

"I think it would be best to do it in person Tony." Ziva said packing up the rest of their stuff.

"Be prepared for tears yelling and more tears." Tony told her.

"I know Tony." Ziva murmured.

He walked up to her and squeezed her hand.

"I'm not walking away from you this time okay?" He said looking into her eyes.

She nodded. Not sure what to say. She had feared as soon as they got there that he would take Tali and leave her stranded with people who were surly mad at her.

"Stop thinking about it. Okay? Cause I just got you back. No way in hell am I letting you go again." He said pulling her into a hug.

"They are going to be mad at me Tony." Ziva said softly.

"Why don't you go get her ready and I'll get our stuff in the car." He said planting a quick but soft kiss on her lips.

They had agreed to take things slowly, but they also agreed that they wanted to be together.

She got Tali ready and they all piled into the car. Heading to to airport. All ready to be home.
