The Father and Daughter Meeting

Ziva and tony are 8 years into their marriage. They had a 5 year old girl and zivas 5 months pregnant with another baby. Zivas dad contacted her and said he was coming to town and he wanted to meet up with her. He didn't know about the kids, he knew her and tony were married but he didn't know about the kids. Ziva was nervous about meeting her dad. She left their house at 7:30 to meet her dad at 7:45. When she saw his car on the otherside of the parking lot she waddled towards the passenger side. She tried to cover up her bump when she opened the door. "Ziva!" Eli said. "Hi aba" ziva replied. They went out for a drive then ziva flinched because the baby started kicking but eli didn't know that, he didn't even know she was pregnant but she was going to tell him that night. The flinch caught eli's eye so he asked "what was that?" "What?" Ziva tried to act like nothing happened "you flinched, you never flinch, whats going on?" Eli started to get annoyed. "Nothing happened!" Ziva nearly yelled. Eli pulled the car over and he was really really annoyed. He grabbed the back of zivas neck and pulled her closer thats when he saw it, he saw her bump. "What the hell is that!!" Eli screamed in her ear as he pointed to her bump. "Yes i'm pregnant!" Ziva replied "why didn't you tell me!" Eli shouted again. "Because i didn't know whether i wanted you in their lives, i don't want them to be heart broken like i was" ziva shouted back. Eli let go of her neck. "This isn't the only one" ziva started to cry. "What!" Eli shouted again. "We had a 5 year old daughter. 3 months ago when we had an apartment. There um.....was a fire.........she was trapped.......she was burnt alive in that apartment.....i couldn't live with myself. Tony and i were heart broken. We will never get over that. She was smart, bright and funny. She was the most adorable thing ever. We always had laughs and rarely fight" ziva explained as she let tears rolling down her cheek every second. "I'm sorry" was all eli could say. "Thats it. She was your grandaughter and "i'm sorry" is all you have to say, you are sick. You didn't even ask where she is burried or "where can i put flowers", you would probably never think of it again" ziva said before getting out the car and rushing home. As she walked in the door she was still crying heavily. Tony ran out to her and she melted to the floor. Tony sat next to her and comforted her. He wasn't going to ask what happened yet.
Once ziva had calmed down a bit. Tony asked her what happened and she explained everything. "Tony my neck is killing me can you take a look please" ziva asked "yer sure honey" tony said as he got up and walked behind her. He pulled her hair out the way and he wasn't ready for what he saw. There were 4 deep wounds from eli's nails, blood running out of each one and a clump of hair missing from the bottom of her hair line. He told ziva. She couldn't beleive that her own father would do this to her. The next day they told gibbs what happened and he decided to find eli and sort it out for himself. After a nervracking 4 hours gibbs came back in with blood on his hands. Ziva shot up and grabbed his hands and said "gibbs are you ok?" "Its not my blood ziva, i punched your father a few times" gibbs announced. Ziva and tony smiled at each other. "He won't bother you again" gibbs gladly said. After a few months ziva and tony had another lovely baby girl named zoe.
