Sunshine

Soon a week had passed and everyone was enjoying the sun.

"Gibbs I had no idea you could tan!" Abby laughed.

"Yeah it's known to happen." He said.

"Well look at Ziva and Tali. They don't even look like the same people we came with." McGee said.

"Tan and beautiful." Tony said softly.

"Abba you tan." Tali said pointing to his light tanned arm.

"True. I didn't think that would happen." He laughed.

Tali giggled then whispered in Tony's ear, everyone watched curiously as Tony burst into a fit of laughter.

"Go tell Ima that." He said.

Tali smiled and skipped off to her mother to tell her the same thing. Ziva laughed.

"What did she say?" Ellie asked.

"She said Uncle Tim is red like a tomato." Ziva mused.

"Cause Uncle Tim doesn't tan." McGee grumbled.

"That my girl." Tony said grabbing Tali and throwing her in the air.

She giggled every time she flew up. Ziva had her eyes on her intently. She never voiced it but this scared her. The uncertainty of Tony catching her in time plagued her thoughts.

"Tony don't drop the baby." Abby said seeing Ziva's worried face before she could hide it.

"Ah Abbs I would never drop her." Tony said setting Tali down in the sand and then began to cover her legs with it.

"Tony." Ziva said her lips pressing together in a line.

"Yeah?" He said continuing.

"Why are you burying our daughter?" She asked.

"I'm making a tail for her. See." He said pointing to the poorly structured mermaid tail made of sand. Ziva tried not to laugh.

"That is cute." She said softly.

"Don't let him fool you Ziva he's really burying her." McGee joked.

"Ima. I mermaid." Tali said happily.

"I see tateleh. Abba did good." Ziva smiled.

"I go swim now?" She asked.

Ziva laughed a bit and pulled her free from the sand and carried her down to the water.

She took her out to where she could still touch and let her splash around. They played around for a bit and then Tali started yelling for Tony to come join them.

He smiled and jogged over to them splashing them with the water.

"Who would've thought they would have a kid." McGee said.

"We all knew it would happen." Gibbs said.

"Really? You knew?" Abby asked.

Gibbs sighed.

"The only reason Tali didn't happen sooner is because of me." He said.

"Because of rule 12?" Ellie asked.

"Exactly. I saw the looks. I knew how they felt. If they had asked me I would've let them. But they have too much respect for my rules to go against them." Gibbs said looking at his two agents splash around.

"Wait so Tony and Ziva would've gotten together before? I thought they only slept together the one time." McGee said.

"McGee I really don't want to talk about their personal life." Gibbs shuddered.

"Um okay." McGee said.

"What Gibbs is saying is that he doesn't want to hear about his little girls sex life." Abby giggled.

"Thanks Abbs." Gibbs said getting up and walking to the little hut to get something to eat.

"When do you think it started?" McGee asked.

"Paris. Something interesting always happens in Paris." Abby explained.

"What do you mean?" Ellie asked.

"Well them." Abby said pointing to Tony and Ziva. "And Gibbs and Jenny."

"All went undercover in Paris. Not at the same time but it happened." McGee added.

"They all came back different. We know what happened between Gibbs and Jenny. But we can only guess what happened with Tony and Ziva." Abby said.

"I don't think it would be hard to guess Abbs." McGee murmured.

"They slept together?" Ellie asked.

"For sure. They were different with each other when they came home." Abby explained.

"Did you ever asked them?" Ellie asked.

"No." Abby said as a dripping wet Tony popped down beside them with Tali in his arms.

"Ask who what?" Tony asked as Ziva sat next to him wrapping a towel around Tali.

"Oh nothing." Abby said her face flushing.

"It is obviously something Abby. What is it?" Ziva asked.

"They want to know what happened between you two in Paris." Ellie said when Abby didn't.

"Ah Paris." Tony murmured.

"I love Paris." Ziva said softly.

"So what happened?" Abby asked eyeing them suspiciously.

"Well as you two know we went undercover as a married arms dealers." Tony said.

"And?" McGee said.

"Timothy McGee you know I never kiss and tell." Tony mused.

"Yeah you do Tony." McGee said.

"Ziva what happened between you and Tony in Paris?" Abby asked.

Ziva smiled and looked at Tony, a bright red flooded her face.

"You slept together I knew it!" Abby squealed.

"That was the first time yes." Ziva sighed knowing they weren't going to stop asking until she said it.

"Seriously?" McGee asked a disgusted look on his face.

"What are y'all talking about?" Gibbs asked as he sat down with a beer and a hot dog.

"Paris." Ziva murmured.

"Ah Paris. Nice place." Gibbs said.

"Well some people wouldn't know cause they were too busy in the bedroom." Abby smirked.

Gibbs froze. Looked at Tony and Ziva's red faces and sighed.

"Don't want to know." He grumbled.
