The next morning Ziva went downstairs at 5am to find Gibbs sitting in the kitchen. He smiled at her
"Good Morning, an early riser," Gibbs stated, I smiled and replied
"yeah, when I was training to become Mossad I had to get up every morning at 5 and go on a 6 mile run. ummm you and Jenny wouldn't mind if I continued to run?" Gibbs smiled
"I don't see a problem with that as long as you take safety precautions," Ziva smiled at him it was nice that he was being protective of her.
"Of course," she replied before sitting down opposite him at the table. She looked around nervously a little unsure of what to do but luckily Jenny came in.
"Good morning Jethro, Ziva," She said cheerily smiling at both of them. Gibbs gave a quiet morning and Jenny grabbed the newspaper off the table and threw it at him
"Hey," Gibbs protested smiling.
"A little bit of cheerfulness in the morning Jethro," She said before turning to Ziva and rolling her eyes. Ziva chuckled a little.
"Good morning Jenny," She smiled.
"please call me Jen. Jenny sounds so formal," Jenny said smiling at her "anyway didn't Jethro get you something to eat," She said glaring at him. Gibbs gave a weak smile before starting to read the paper.
"ohh it's okay I'm not really hungry," Ziva said she didn't usually eat too much she was very self concious about her weight and the way she looked. She was hoping that Jen would drop the issue but by the look on her face that wasn't going to happen.
"nonsense, look at you you're already I would guess underweight I'm going to be keeping an eye on you making sure you are eating properly," Jen said giving Ziva a look that made her know she was serious. Ziva looked down and started fiddling with her hands. She knew it was wrong that she wasn't eating and when she did she often puked it back up but her training for Mossad was brutal and she was often called names like fat that got to her. The names started when she was around 13 maybe a bit younger her Father would call her things like fat and ugly and they slowly tore her apart. They ruined any confidence she may have had about her image and weight. It's also when she started self harming her thighs are covered in scars she even has the word fat carved into one thigh. She was terrified about the Gibbs' finding out. Jenny looked at her suspiciously before moving over to the cupboards and getting two bowls and a variety of breakfast cereals. She lay them on the counter top before looking at Ziva.
"What kind of cereal would you like or if you prefer I could make eggs, pancakes, toast, waffles just name it," Jenny said looking at Ziva.
"Ummm crunchy nut will be fine," Ziva said giving a weak smile. She watched as Jenny poured the cereal into the bowl and got the milk from the fridge.
"Milk?" Jen asked.
"umm no thanks," Ziva replied.
"okay. Juice?" Jenny asked.
"umm water will be fine."
Jen filled the cup with water and walked over to Ziva with the cereal and water.
"I want to see that bowl empty Ziva. I mean it," Jen said giving Ziva the look again. Ziva looked down at the bowl, full to the brim with crunchy nut. She sighed a little this was going to be hard and she knew that Jenny was not going to let her away with not eating. She started to eat the cereal until the bowl was empty she looked at Jenny who gave her approval before taking the bowl and putting it in the dish washer.
"hmmm 6:30 Abby should be up soon," Jenny stated " You should probably use the bathroom if you want to Abby takes around an hour in. if you want to take a shower the towels are in the cupboard next to the bathroom and you can use Abby's soap shampoo and stuff until we get you your own." Ziva smiled at Jenny and walked up stairs. She was grateful that jenny suggested going in the shower it meant that she could puke up the cereal and put the shower on so no one would hear. She got everything ready and grabbed a pair of khaki cargo pants and a black tank top. Grabbing a towel from the cupboard she put the shower on and sat on the floor in front of the toilet. She put two fingers down her throat and started to puke up her food. When she was finished she quickly got in shower and washed her self before brushing her teeth the best she could without a tooth brush and putting on her cloths. She went back to her room and went through her drawers trying to find her hair dryer. She found it and dried her hair which took 10 minutes before reappearing down stairs dressed with her hair down in its natural curls. When she walked into the kitchen Abby, Jen and Gibbs were siting at the table. She sat down across from Abby who started telling her about the day she had planned. They were going to go to the mall where they would meet Tony and Tim and they could pick up some stuff for Ziva. She said that Tony was a jock but wasn't a really stuck up one who thinks that they are the best and Tim was a computer geek but a cool one. They were going to shop a bit for Ziva then get lunch. Ziva noticed that as soon as Abby mentioned lunch Jenny looked at Ziva.
