We slept for long hours, when I woke up, it was already night and the house was partly cleaned so I decided to finish their work. I was finishing when the phone rang, the twins didn't wake up and I didn't answer it, I'm afraid of who it could be... a voice message played
"Tali or Kai... I'm already coming home, is there anything you would want? Like... I don't know... any specific food?"
It was so good to hear his voice again, really good! I took Tali's phone on the center table and unlocked it with a 'ninja technic' I learned a few years ago, I sent Tony a few messages
Tali-We want chicken and potatoes
Tony- Idk where I can find it cooked and not take too long
Tali- I'll cook
Tony-Since when you cook?
Tali- Trust me, you will have a big surprise tonight
Tony-I fear those words... please don't burn the house down
Tali- I'm afraid of it too
I blocked the cellphone again letting it where I found, I saw they were waking up
"Ima..."
Kai called me getting up slowly
"I'm here"
"What are you doing?"
"Just cleaning"
"Is Aba home?"
"No, but he will be here soon"
"How you know?"
"He left a voice message"
"Voicemail, you mean"
Tali got up yawning
"Ima, you won't leave... will you?"
"Do not worry, I will stay here. Tony deserves an explanation"
"What you will do when Aba is here?"
Kai was worried I could tell by her expression she fear losing her mother once again
"I have no idea..."
I smiled
They were telling me how Abby is with the baby, her hugs, how Gibbs is nice and Ducky is a good storyteller... I was almost forgetting what was about to come but, we heard the door been unlocked, we all got up really fast
"Are you skyping someone? Because I could hear you laughing from out-"
He finally looked us, he didn't move for a couple seconds
"Side..."
He took the chicken and the potatoes to the kitchen
"Girls, go up stairs"
I said squeezing my fingers nervously
They did as told but I could sense them trying to see what was going on
"How..."
He said not sure of the question
"Tony, I am sorry"
He laughed, my heart was about to explode
TONY'S POV
"You disappear for 12 years leaving behind your, our daughters behind and don't even bothered to tell me I was having a baby OR even two...Of course you are sorry!"
I began crying at the instant she said sorry
"Tony-"
"You left your daughters without a huge part of themselves, I couldn't explain Tali because I didn't know what really happened, neither to Kaida because I didn't know she existed!"
I saw her full water eyes holding on, she doesn't want to brake her walls down
"And, you left me taking all I had. I believed you were dead for more than a decade... Part of me died with you Ziva, my life was never the same. Tali was the only reason I kept living"
"Tony..."
"I-"
"TONY!"
I shut my mouth slowly
"You have no idea how hard it was for me. I had to leave both, I saw them been rescued from my father's farm house and been taken away from me, I saw Kaida been trained to be like me, only I know what happened between Mossad's four walls, I hated myself for that and still do. I saw Tali after her seven years old, sometimes I saw her with seven and then she was already eleven, my life have been hell since that day, the only people who care about me thought I was dead and kept their lives without me, they had to. Do you know how that feels? Cry every single night and just pray for God if he have to take any of you to please, take me in place, walk around fearing my own shadow"
The last time I saw her crying that much, her father was dying in her arms, I cried a lot too
"You know Ziva, after all that years... Feelings and panic attacks I've been through, I am still happy because I love you, I love you Ziva."
She jumped in my arms, I held her tight to make sure I was really feeling her, she finally broke down and I was able to feel her crying
"It's okay sweet cheeks, I'm not letting them hurt you again"
Whoever 'they' are...
"I love you too Tony"
We looked to each other's eyes, I could see the suffer that was following her, she saw my broken soul, it felt good... I pulled her near me and grabbing her amazing   curly hair  & neck and after those fifteen years, we finally
FINALLY
Kissed again. Feel her is priceless... The twins ran downstairs to crush us in a family hug, they were crying a lot too
"Finally"
Tali said breathing relieving all that fear
"Our family is here"
Kai smiled
"And we are never leaving again"
Ziva kissed their heads
"I love you, girls of my life"
It was funny how they all smiled looking the same, they have so much from Zi and she gave so much from them! I just love seen them three anywhere I look
"I think you should call the team for an explanation, I'll start dinner"
Zi left to the kitchen been followed by Tali
"Call McGee"
Kai told me giving the phone
"Abby will have baby too soon"
"Good point foreigner!"
She giggled
"Hey Mcsexy, I have something important to show you, yeah... Now! Bring Abby and make sure to stand behind her so she won't fall if she faint... Okay, see you"
I hang on
"Now, boss"
'What Tony?'
"Important family reunion, and when I say family I mean, no one is missing this time! Bring Jimmy and Ducky too please"
Ziva smirked bringing the wine glass to us
