Family First

Settled

Tony got Ziva to pick out furniture without her knowing he was actually going to buy it. It asked her what she liked and if it would look good in their apartment.

"Why do you want new furniture?" Ziva asked curiously.

"Because this stuff is old. And I chose it. I want you to pick something out, whatever you like. And I'll see what I can do." He said with a smile.

Ziva grinned and kissed him.

"I love decorating." She said excitedly.

"Okay." He said. He handed her some magazines and told her to circle the ones she wanted.

He watched as she did. He was impressed that she had really good taste.

Tony played with Tali, and made them dinner while Ziva was busy picking things out unknowingly for their new home.

"Tali want to know a secret?" Tony whispered. She smiled at him and nodded.

"Well you can't tell Ima cause it's a surprise." He told her.

"Otay." Tali said smiling.

"Well you see I'm building us a big house. And I need you to help her pick out stuff. But you have to keep it our secret okay?" Tony asked.

Tali looked up at him, not really understanding everything he just said to her.

He laughed and picked her up.

"So Ziva what would you think about a bigger place?" Tony asked casually.

"I think that would be nice eventually." She said flipping through the magazines.

"Yeah me too. Maybe when Tali is older. And I hope we will have another one so yeah." Tony said.

Ziva slowly looked over the magazine at him. She could not believe what he had just said. He wanted another baby?

"I mean if you want to I don't want to make you have another one just because it would make me happy. I'm fine with you and Tali." He said quickly thinking he said the wrong thing.

Ziva laughed. Walking over to him and kissing his lips softly.

"No Tony I want another baby too. Just not right now." She said stroking Tali's cheek.

Tony smiled happily knowing she wanted to extend their family. And that she though a bigger place would be a great idea.

"What are you and Tali going to do while I'm gone tomorrow?" Tony asked.

"I thought maybe I would take her to the park. Let her play around other children. She does not do that often." Ziva said.

"Sounds like fun." Tony said yawning.

Soon after that they all fell asleep.

The next morning Tony took the magazines that Ziva had gone through and gave them to Joey who took his bank card and bought everything Ziva circled.

Later that day when Gibbs told them to go home they headed over to the new house to help put in everything Ziva picked out.

By the time they were done it looked like a house from a fairy tale.

"Go get you family DiNozzo." Gibbs said patting his back.

Tony ran to the car excitedly and drove home.

While he was gone Gibbs brought in the last piece of furniture.

It was a beautiful hand crafted rocking horse. Painted up just the way a little girl would love. He placed it it Tali's room and smiled.  His kids had grown up.

"Tony where are we going?" Ziva asked confused.

"Just wait sweet cheeks you're going to love it." Tony said happily.

"Why do I have to be blind folded?" She asked irritated.

"Because where I'm taking you is a surprise." Tony said in a duh tone.

Once they pulled in, Tony picked Tali up out of her car seat. Then he went and opened Ziva's door and lead her by her hand.

He walked until you could see the whole front porch.

"Ready?" He asked her.

"Yes." She said.

"Welcome home Ziva. I hope you like it." Tony said slipping the blind fold off of her face.

Tears made their way into her eyes as she looked at the beautiful house.

"Tony." She said softly, her hand covering her mouth.

"This is why we've been disappearing lately. I wanted to give you everything." He said leading them around.

She saw things she had picked and smiled. He really did love her. She thought. Hell he built them a house.
