Family First

Vacation?

A couple weeks after the scary Halloween incident everyone decided to take a two week vacation.

"We could all go together. It would be so much fun!" Abby said excitedly.

"I do not know Abby." Ziva said biting her lip while she thought about it.

It would be nice to get out of the house for a little while. Get some sun where it was actually warm.

"We could go somewhere where there is a beach?" Abby asked.

"If it involves Ziva and the beach and a bikini I'm in." Tony said excitedly earning a sharp smack to the back of his head.

"Ow!" He complained. As Gibbs walked to his desk smirking.

"Thank you Gibbs." Ziva said humorously.

"Anytime kid." He said sipping his coffee.

"Now Abby how long are you wanting to be gone? I know we aren't the only team in this agency but we are the best." McGee rambled.

"Just a couple of weeks. Everyone here could relax a little." Abby said.

"Sure. It's not like I have to accommodate for Jake anymore." Ellie said bitterly. And then wished she hadn't.

"Well Tali has never been to the beach." Ziva reasoned.

"Yay! Tiva is in. Come on Timmy come." Abby begged.

"Fine Abbs. I don't have anything other than work planned anyways." McGee said with a small smile.

"Gibbs?" Abby asked putting on her best puppy dog face.

"Nah Abbs I think I'm good. Y'all have fun though." He said gruffly.

"But Gibbs it's not a family vacation without you. I already got Ducky and Jimmy coming. And Jimmy is bringing Brena and Victoria." Abby whined.

Ziva laughed to herself as she saw Abby was losing the battle so she sent Tali over to ask him.

Tali walked over to him and pulled on his pant leg so he would pick her up.

"Hey kiddo." Gibbs said.

She motioned him forward with her finger and he leaned towards her so she could whisper in his ear.

A smile played at his lips at what she said.

"Fine Abby I'll come." Gibbs said not being able to resist the small child begging him to come.

"Yay! Just figure out where we want to go and I'll book the flight and all that." She yelled excitedly running off to her lab.

Tali slid out of Gibbs's lap and ran over to Ziva telling her happily that Gibbs was going to go with them in Hebrew.

Ziva smiled.

"What all did you say to him?" Ziva asked her.

"I says Grampa pwease come wid us." She said. Ziva smiled. No wonder Gibbs was smiling.

Ziva smiled and kissed her head. Taking note that they needed to practice the pronunciation of her English.

"How about Hawaii?" McGee asked.

"That's a good idea McGee." Tony said.

"You ever been to Hawaii Ziva?" McGee questioned.

"Once when I was very young." She replied.

"Well I bet Tali would love it. And we can make sandcastles." Tony said excitedly.

"I don't know who's more excited. Abby or Tony." McGee said laughing.

"I think it is a tie." Ziva mused.

"Hey I get to teach my kid how to make sandcastles. And I get to have my very sexy lady walk on the beach with me." Tony said happily.

Ziva's eyes widened at his words. She cheeks grew hot as she noticed Gibbs glance at Tony.

"DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked.

"Yeah boss?" Tony replied.

"Shut up." Gibbs said annoyed.

"What is sexy?" Tali asked curiously.

McGee couldn't contain his laughter. Ziva sent Tony a dirty look.

"How about you go ask Abba." Ziva said sending her off to Tony.

"What is sexy Abba?" Tali asked innocently.

"Uh. Well uh. You see it's how grown ups say someone it pretty or handsome." Tony fumbled around with his words.

"Oh." Tali said, her eyebrows pulled together as she was deep in thought.

"Yeah." Tony said.

"So you fink Ima is pretty?" Tali asked.

"I do. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life." Tony told her. Ziva smiled.

"I emailed Abby the location. She says we leave tomorrow so we need to go home and pack. Like now." McGee said.

"Go home." Gibbs said to them. Tony smiled and ran at Tali. Swooping her up in his arms and throwing her in the air.

Squeals of delight came from the small child as Ziva gritted her teeth. She hated when he threw her. It gave her an anxious feeling.

"We need to get her a swimsuit." Ziva said softly as the walked to the elevator.

"Off the the store we go." Tony said happily.

"Which is better once piece or a two piece." Ziva asked.

"For her we can get both. You know so one can be in the wash and she can still have another one." Tony explained.

Ziva smiled. They bought Tali a couple swimsuits and headed home to make dinner and pack.

"Hawaii. You'll fit right in sweet cheeks. All tan and beautiful." Tony said.

Ziva rolled her eyes and tossed his travel kit to him.
