Family First

Seing Senior

Soon they realized they had to call Tony's father. He should know Ziva was alive too.

"Hey Jr. how's that sweet granddaughter of mine?" Senior asked.

"She's going good dad. Happy little girl." Tony said.

"That's good. Are you back in the states?" His dad asked him.

"Yeah I've been back for almost a month. I should've called but I was busy with building a house. Why don't you come see it." Tony suggested.

"Well Jr that sounds like a great idea. I can't wake to see little Tali again." Senior said happily.

"Alright dad I'll send the address. See you later." Tony said ending the phone call.

"He'll be here around dinner time." Tony said, looking at his watch, it was only eleven now.

"Okay." Ziva said softly.

Tali sat in her high chair with a tired face.

"Looks like some one is ready for a nap." Tony said with a smile.

Ziva smiled and picked her up. She washed her face and laid her down for a nap.

"So what are mommy and daddy going to do while the baby is sleeping?" Tony asked wrapping his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Ziva smiled and placed her hands on top of his.

"I do not know about you but I could use a shower." She said turning to where she was facing him.

"Hmm. A shower sounds nice." He said kissing her cheek.

"Join me?" She asked. Tony smiled.

"You don't even have to ask." He said kissing her lips softly.

"We have a little while before she wakes up." Ziva said, playing with a lock of her dark curly hair.

Tony smiled and followed her into the bathroom. She pulled her sweater over hear head as Tony's eyes roamed her smooth tanned skin.

"See something you like Tony?" Ziva smirked.

"Yes." He said pulling his shirt off.

Ziva slid her bottoms down and turned on the water. The room quickly fogging up. Tony picked her up and walked into the hot water.

The warm water cascaded down their bodies.

"You really like the water hot." Tony commented.

"Stop talking." Ziva said with a forceful kiss.

They continued like this. Expressing their love for one another, and barely having enough time to get any normal shower activities done.

Ziva had a towel wrapped tightly around her and she made her way gracefully up the stairs to Tali's room.

She smiled when she saw the small child still snuggled up in her blankets fast asleep.

"She awake?" Tony asked softly.

"No." Ziva said closing the door.

"That's surprising." Tony said with a smirk.

"Shut up!" Ziva said.

"I'm only saying you were pretty loud." Tony said humorously throwing his hands up.

"Do not wake her up do to your childish  antics." Ziva said patting his cheek then walking to their room.

"So what should we cook tonight?" Tony asked.

"Is there any dish your father favors?" Ziva asked walking into the closet.

"He likes pasta." Tony said.

"We can make pasta with that cheese garlic bread Tali loves." Ziva said softly.

"That sounds perfect." He said kissing her on the cheek.

Once they were dressed the watched a movie waiting on Tali to wake up. Once she did they began to cook dinner.

Around six they heard a hesitant knock on the door. Tony smiled a little and went to open the door.

"Hey Jr." Senior said giving Tony a big hug.

"Hi Dad." Tony said patting his back.

"So where's Tali?" Senior asked not seeing the little girl around.

"Upstairs in her room." Tony said.

"Where's your room?" He asked.

Tony pointed to the slight open door to the left.

"Why'd you put her so far away from you?" Senior asked confused.

"We though it would be best. And there's a baby monitor if we don't hear her, do you want a tour?" Tony said casually.

"Sure." Senior said.

"Well this is the master bedroom. It's got a walk in closet a bathroom with a spa area." Tony said showing him around.

"Son tell me you haven't gotten another woman in your life? Her mother just died." Senior said noticing he kept saying we and he saw women's clothes in the closet.

"Don't worry Dad." Tony said leading him up the stairs.

"It sure looks like I should. You're going to confuse the poor child." Senior said frowning.

"Just come see Tali." Tony said opening the door. Tali smiled and ran over to him.

"Ganpa." She said hugging his leg.

"Tony do not confuse her." Senior said picking Tali up. "Hello princess." He said.

"Can't confuse her when it's her mother." Tony said as Ziva walked to his side.

"Son that's not funny." Senior said with his back away from them.

"Hello Mr. DiNozzo." Ziva said softly.

Tony's father froze and turned around slowly.

"She's? You're alive!" He said hugging her tightly.

"I am." Ziva said softly.
