Paris

Oh my gooosshh, it has been 10 years since  Paris happened! 01/26/07- Ten years ago. So in celebration of Tiva in Paris, here's a one shot 😉😉. I can't say if it's a classic one shot but yea.... Enjoy! And happy Tenth anniversary. PS: If you're asking, yes, we should celebrate this.

Tony's POV

"Abba.." I heard a small voice said. I got up and looked at my 2 year old daughter Tali in our bedroom holding her kalev and her Ima's scarf.

"Hey, tateleh. Can't sleep now, can we? Come on up." I invited her, and in a second she skipped her way to the bed and I set her beside me. I hugged her and wrapped the blanket around us. After a few minutes of singing lullabies, she finally fell asleep. I slept for an hour and I woke up, and she's not beside me. I carefully sat up not wanting to make some noise. And walked to the kitchen to drink some water.

"I knew you are here..." I said, she smiled. "Whatcha doin'?" I asked. She hushed, I smiled again and hugged from behind her. "So I take it as a surprise then?"

"Yes, it's for Tali. She's been a good girl this week and I would like to cook her favorite meal for breakfast." She replied, "How did she get to our room?"

"She woke up around 7 am. She couldn't sleep,  seriously, our neighbor needs to keep it down." I complained.

She laughed, "Okay tell them that in French."

I kissed her cheek and turned her to face me. "Happy Anniversary Sweet cheeks." I said and kissed her, it's been ten years since we went to Paris. I found her a month after I left NCIS here in France.

"Happy Anniversary too Mon petit pois." Ziva replied. I kissed her lips again and was forced to pull away hearing an "eww."

"Hello tateleh. Come here." Ziva said moving away from my arms and inviting Tali for a hug.

Tali hugged her Ima and kissed her cheeks, it was so amazing to see my family happy. I joined their hug and said, "My favorite girls."

After we ate breakfast, Tali fell asleep again which made me worry,  she's a two year old sleep deprived toddler. So I asked Ziva about it and she told me that Tali was awake the whole night playing her toys. Which made me smile, so Ziva and I sat on the couch and watched a movie. I didn't paid attention to the movie though, I kept my attention to Ziva.

"What's wrong Tony? " She asked

"Nothing, I'm just happy. So happy." I said

She looked at me weirdly, "What are you happy about?"

"A lot of reasons, mainly because of our family, wait no let me rephrase that, because of our own family."  I replied

"I know, I am happy too for the same reason." She smiled and kissed me.

"I've always wanted my own family, and you've made it come true, even with the whole commitment issue. I really wanted one when the time was right. When I found out about Tali, I was shocked yet happy, though I was hysterical when I found out that Tali is our daughter. I have my own family.  But I refused to believe that you were dead. And now look at us, seven months together and ten years of love. We're a happy family." I stated.

"Yes, but we are not a proper family." I heard her whisper as she stood up but I pulled her down back on top of me and looked at her eyes.

"That's why I want you to marry me." I seriously said.

Ziva looked shocked and speechless like what I was saying was unreal. "Let me rephrase that again, you are to marry your very handsome partner in crime whether you like it or not. "

"Who ever said that you can make orders?" She asked.

"Last time I checked I was senior filled agent. And you are my probi-" I was cut off by Ziva playfully hitting me.

"I was never your probie. I am your partner, I will always be your partner. Whether you like it or not." She said, which made me realize that she said yes. So I grabbed her hand that was playfully hitting me and slipped my mother's ring into her finger and pulled her into a kiss.

"I can't wait to be your lifetime partner" I said after we pulled away.

"Quick request, can we get married after 10 months?" She asked, I wondered why and she just walked to Tali's room. So I followed her and I saw her lying next to Tali, looking at her.

"Why?" I asked gently,  leaning on the doorframe.

"She would be three, after ten months." She said, not actually telling me the reason why. She's holding something back.

"Tell me, why? Is there a problem?" I pushed, she just shook her head. "C'mon tell me. I won't have second thoughts, I love you,  please tell me."

She stayed silent, and she looked away from me, "I'm sorry." She whispered. 

I was confused, sorry for what?  And I heard, sobs. I was scared I didn't know what to do. "I'm sorry Tony." She repeated

"For what?" I asked.

"I hid it from you because I was scared you wouldn't be happy about it, we aren't even a proper family yet this comes and you wouldn't allow it." She cried harder.

"Wouldn't allow what?" I asked her, I think I might know the reason why but I'm not sure. "Are you pregnant?"

She didn't nod, but her crying stopped and she looked at me, I could see her red puffy eyes. "Two weeks."

I didn't knew how to respond, I'm happy and excited we have another addition to our family. She was still looking at me waiting for an answer or a reaction, but I couldn't react, even though I'm still happy with it.  But get married after ten months?

"No." I said referring to her request, "I don't want to marry you after ten months." She looked angry and disappointed. "Why not get married sooner then?" I asked. Her gaze redirected to me, with a slight smile on her face. "So when she/he will be born,  she/he will be a proper DiNozzo, then after ten months, we discuss about on how to make Tali's last name DiNozzo."

Ziva smiled even bigger, "I thought you wouldn't allow it. That you wouldn't be happy for us." She said, I cupped her face and let her eyes meet mine. "I'm hysterical, another addition to our own family. "

"I love you..." we said in unison.

A/n: that was it, it's a shot about how I wish Tony and Tali is doing right now. I hope you liked it! Thank  you!! Happy Tenth Tiva in Paris Anniversary!! (I based this anniversary on when Jet lag was premiered in US.)
