So much had changed in a year. Ziva still could not believe the things she had seen and done over the last year, but 90% of the time, we cannot undo our mistakes. She had discussed it at length with her father and had decided to return to D.C. It was time to tell Tony and everyone else about their daughter, Tali. Well, it was really past time, but the young woman had been afraid of telling him for many reasons, though the main one being that she had not wanted him to feel trapped and like he had to be with her. She still felt that way now, but refused to let herself chicken out any longer.
Tali was with a babysitter/school teacher, and a bodyguard that Ziva trusted, and paid to look after her daughter. The man who looked after her daughter for her, was a good friend that she had known for a long time, most of her life. And with the exception of Tony, McGee and Gibbs, there was no one she trusted to watch her daughter more. After having spent the morning
with her daughter, it was now time to face Tony and the others at NCIS. She held her head high and stepped off the elevator, as she walked through the room and over to her old desk.
She could feel their eyes burning into her, and shook off the feeling of doubt that suddenly plagued her. The young woman took a few breaths to soothe her nerves, squared her shoulders and decided it was time to face the music. There was no use putting it off any longer. With a distracted greeting to McGee, she walked over and stood in front of Tony's desk until he gave her his attention. "We need to talk, Tony." They had not talked much or at all really, since they had slept together. "And before you come up with some excuse about a date you have, no, this cannot wait."

Over the past three weeks, four United States Navy sailors have died suspiciously of heart attacks. These men were young, in impeccable health, and Dr. Mallard ruled the deaths a murder because he and Dr. Palmer found small, microscopic points of injection in the skin. Someone had killed these men and tried to make it look like natural causes. There was only one thing the four sailors had in common: a BDSM club called Temptations. In the news, they kept it on the down low. The reports still said that they died from natural causes. On the inside, they were going to infiltrate the club. Derek Morgan was taking the lead on the deep cover. The male had been with the team over five years. After his time finished with the BAU, he joined NCIS. It was a position with better pay and less work hours since they did not travel as much as the BAU did.
A few years ago, he started dating a NSA analyst named Ellie Bishop. His girlfriend was selected to replace Agent Ziva David when she left NCIS. For the past year, Derek and Ellie have worked closely together. Their relationship at work was strong and they helped each other thoroughly. They did not let anything interfere with their work so Gibbs and Vance had both been okay with the arrangement. There were exceptions to every rule. This was one of them.
Sitting in a conference room now, Ellie and Derek were alone. They were given the report where the assignment was described. They would infiltrate the club together. They would go as a couple looking to learn about BDSM. Derek would be a sailor on leave and Ellie would be his fiance just like she really was. They would not tell these people at the club they are NCIS. Looking at Ellie across the table, he sat the folder down. What do you think, babe? It might not be so bad after all. They did enjoy a good deal of bondage in their life so this would be a chance to have business and pleasure. Besides, they would have to play along to get to know everyone here at the club. They would get the chance to enjoy themselves and he hoped Ellie was looking forward to that like he was.
It started out like a typical day. Agent Anthony DiNozzo was busy working on some old paperwork he let pile up. Last night, he had yet another unsuccessful date which McGee kept prying about. Brock and Ellie were taken inside a conference room to work on some undercover assignment together so the team was down a couple people. He expected Gibbs to come by at any time to say they needed to grab their gear, but he had not shown yet. Instead, while looking at McGee typing away on his computer, Tony saw a familiar face enter the squad room. Quickly, he grabbed his phone and pretended to have a conversation when Ziva arrived. McGee was the first to greet her and he was even smiling. Ziva? What are you doing here? Its nice to see you again. He commented, a little hesitant at first.
Ever since Ziva left, Tony had been pissed at her. She did not say anything to him or anyone else. She had to say something to Gibbs, he figured, but other than that, it was radio silence. Putting down the phone, Tonys nostrils flared up slightly. A date? Me? Come on. Im not as desperate as you remember. I might have settled down now. He commented but clearly it was his sarcastic, playful tone. It did not stay that way for long. He grew to an accusatory tone.
Are you really doing this? You dont talk to me for almost a year. You show up one random day at work and Im supposed to do what? Drop everything for you, Ziva? Tony had been deeply hurt by what she did. He could never understand what happened. He knew they slept together but he did not think that had anything to do with her departure. Where have you been? What have you been doing? Why should I give you even one minute of my time, Agent David? You just disappeared without a word. What gives?

A smirk came to Ellie's lips as she eyed her boyfriend. "I think that I'm going to have to keep reminding you that we're undercover, and not to enjoy the club and the BDSM too much.." She teased him. Her relationship with Derek was one of the best parts of her life. The blonde loved being with him and working with him at NCIS. It was nice to finally be able to have a normal relationship where she could talk about her day, and not have to keep things classified because of the NSA. She had hated keeping things from her friends and family through the years.
But anyway, that was in the past now. The blonde smiled at her boyfriend a few moments later. "Derek, when we're doing this, you're going to need to also remember to keep your temper under control. We're going to see and hear things that are horrible, and we won't be able to do anything about those situations without blowing our cover. I want you to keep in mind, that if we come across anything or anyone doing something they shouldn't, we'll nail their asses once the case is over. And you can take that for whatever meaning you want.." She said and then smirked at him once more.
Ziva wanted to say that she was surprised by Tony's reaction to her reappearance in his life. But the truth was, there was no way she could be. They both had many scars, and had been hurt a lot. And she had been the one to hurt him the most, even though he did not know it yet. The young woman smiled at McGee and then said, "It is good to see you too, McGee. As for why I am here. I got my job back, and Gibbs said I can start today." After she had hugged Tim, her eyes went back to Tony. She could see it all on his face, though she knew that he was trying to hide it.
The hurt, the anger, the betrayal he had felt about her leaving. Unfortunately, that was only going to get worse once she told him the truth about all of it. Ziva watched as Tony put down the phone and made a sarcastic remark, which she tuned out since it was of no importance in the moment. His next words had her straightening her spine and getting defensive. "I do not know what you think I am doing. I just need to talk to you, without one of your... what is the word..? Hookups, getting in the way." She said and then used air quotes at the word hookups.
"As for the fact that I did not talk to you for almost a year, there is a reason for that. It was for your protection, and my own. As for the rest of your statement, I never said that you had to drop everything, Tony. All I said was that we need to talk, and it is true, and serious. As for where I have been. I returned to Israel and went back to work for the Mossad. It was dangerous and I did not want to involve you, but unfortunately it is much too late for that." Ziva really hated the idea of telling him about their daughter like this, but she was starting to feel like she had no choice.
The young woman took a calming breath, reached into her pocket for her wallet and pulled it out, along with a picture of Tali. She saved her wallet a moment later, and set down the picture on Tony's desk. "I left because of my daughter, Tali DiNozzo. Our daughter.. I named her after my sister. I worked for the Mossad and was captured and tortured a few months ago. I almost died, and when I woke up in that hospital in Israel, I knew it was time for me to face my fears. So, here I am."

Keeping a clear head is what Im best at. Derek was not worried. There was a time to play while they were undercover. It was not a bad thing at all. Besides, he could definitely enjoy himself with Ellie. There was no problem with him figuring out when to cool it. After they finished reading through the file, Derek thought they were ready to get started. Well, I guess its time we go home, change into something nice for the club. Our mission begins tonight. It was a fancy club. He could have Ellie in a nice dress and tied up? That was a dream come true.
Standing from the desk, he reached to take Ellies hand. They were walking out of the room together, down the stairs and to the elevator. When they were alone, his arms wrapped around her neck and he pressed a kiss to her head. Sure, this was not all leisure but he was taking advantage of this. We do have to build a relationship with these people so we will have to play the part. Dont be too analytical at first. Just go with the flow. Let loose for a bit. Once we know some people here, once we are regulars, we can find out information. Derek spoke, knowing that she might be too focused on the case facts and not just building a relationship here. This was a long-term assignment after all.
It was difficult to believe that Ziva was given her job back just like that. Tony did not understand why Gibbs or Vance would let that happen so easily, but it did. This might get awkward. How could he continue like nothing happened? What was Gibbs thinking? It was unwise to ever question the wise Leroy Jethro Gibbs but Tonys mind was honestly spinning right now. The young man almost chuckled when she talked about hookups. It was nice to have their playful banter. It almost felt like things were the same, though he knew they were not the same. Nothing was ever the same. Tony felt upset at himself for even letting him think that way. Nonetheless, he just tried to turn off his brain and just react to whatever Ziva had to say to him. He could not imagine what she might start with, though. He was sure as hell not prepared for the truth.
One thing he hated was hearing Ziva kept him out of the dark because it was for his protection. Were they not partners? Were they not a team? How could she ever think that keeping him out of the loop of things was a good idea? How could she do this? Tony bit his tongue and held his words, though. It was difficult to let Ziva say everything, but he did. A picture was sat down on his desk followed by a few words that took Tony by surprise. His daughter. Ziva nearly died. Captured a tortured.
Woah hold on a second cowgirl Thats not funny to joke like that. A joke. It had to be a joke, right. Even McGee thought it was a joke until they saw the look on Zivas face. It was no funny business here. Looking deep into the womans eyes, he suddenly felt time slow and come to a halt. Not knowing what else to do, he suddenly reached down to grab Zivas hand. There were so many emotions running through his mind right now so he just pulled her from the squad room and into the elevator.
Inside, he quickly pressed the emergency stop button like Gibbs did whenever he wanted to speak privately. Turning to Ziva, with tears almost brimming his eyes, he needed an explanation. Do you want to tell me this again? Maybe explain it slowly? You mean to tell me that I have a daughter? We have a child? Youre telling me now? I dont even know how to react Ziva. Shed some more light, please. This has to be a joke. I hardly can believe you right now.

Ellie laughed. "I think that I might need to take you out to the shooting range and pop that ego of yours.." She teased Derek a few moments later. The blonde nodded a few moments later, and slid the file across the table to him. She got up from her chair and stood beside the table and waited for him to do the same. A smile came to her lips when he took her hand, and within moments they walked out of the room together. A sigh of relief left her when he wrapped his arms around her when they were alone and he kissed her head. "I've never trusted anyone as much as I trust you."
"Not just as my boyfriend, but as my partner here. You've got my back, and I've got yours. It's a relief to know that." She nodded when Derek spoke about them building a relationship with the people at the club, and told her not to be analytical and to go with the flow. "I'll do my best. I know, it's just easier said than done.." The blonde said when he told her to let loose. "We'll make it work. We're a good balance for each other. If I screw up, I know that I can count on you to bail me out. And vice versa." Before long they had exited the building and were headed for their cars.
Ziva didn't crack a smile when Tony told her not to joke about their daughter. "I would never joke about these things. This is a serious conversation, Tony." She watched as he looked deep into her eyes and knew that he was seeing the truth of her words. She had to admit to being surprised when he grabbed her hand, dragged her out of the squad room and into the elevator. But once that happened, she was no longer surprised. When he pressed the emergency stop button like Gibbs usually did, the young woman expected it. This was the best place for them to talk in private.
She listened to what Tony had to say, and when she figured he was done, she finally began to speak once more. "I thought I was doing what was best for both of us at the time. We had been spending so much time together, and it was not a good idea at the time. I did not want to admit it, but I was developing strong feelings for you. Feelings that I did not want to have. And then we slept together, and my feelings went from attraction to love. And when I realized that I was in love with you, I did not know what to do. A few weeks after we slept together, I found out that I was pregnant with Tali."
"My feelings for you had become full fledged love, and I did not know what to do. You enjoy the company of many women, and no one faults you for that. But I did not want to be responsible for ruining your life or making you miserable. You had a carefree bachelor life, and you seemed to enjoy it. You had made it pretty clear over the years that you liked a variety of women. So, when I found out about Tali, I knew immediately that I did not want to trap you in a relationship with me. I hated the idea of Tali and I being your obligation and I still do. So, I left and went back to Israel."
"I started to raise her there, and then I was captured and tortured, and I thought I was going to die, and almost did. I was stabbed, beaten, cut, and shot. The last thing I remember about when I was captured, was the sight of him as he stepped forward with some kind of electrical thing in his hand, and then the door flew open, and I passed out. The next thing I know, three days later I woke up in a hospital. I called my friend Shani, who is a teacher, and my best friend Tamir, and asked them to look after Tali for me. I also asked Tamir to be Tali's bodyguard, and he agreed."

Thankfully, the ride home did not take long. Upon their arrival, Derek had a bounce in his step. The male even bought a few outfits for their undercover assignment. Dropping his bags by the door, the agent led Ellie to their bedroom and went right into the closet. There was a navy blue suite he thought looked nice. It was tailored and he looked great wearing the suite. While waiting for Ellie to get into her outfit, Derek changed clothes, shaved, and made himself rather presentable. Derek dressed and grabbed his phone, keys, and wallet. The male waited until the blonde showed herself to him. A smile was on his face and he whistled at her.
Mm, look at my sexy fiance. I might have to spend my time fending off the other guys at the club. The male chuckled, his hands resting on her hips as he leaned in for a kiss. Their lips touched together for a few seconds and he squeezed her waist. I love you. Lets jump into this feet first. I am excited. I always dreamed of doing something like this. Besides, weve used this in the bedroom since forever ago. This will be interesting to take it to a new level. Derek murmured, pulling back from the kiss so their hands could lock together, walking bak out to the car.
How could Tony DiNozzo process this right now? It did not help that men in his family struggled with emotions. His father, his grandfather, and Tony they were not good at this thing. What the hell did he do? What the hell did he say? This was so random and so strange she just showed up to work one day and told Tony in a natural voice that they had a child together. He did not get it. He did not understand. It was impossible to process. Why did Agent Gibbs not tell him or anyone else about Ziva working on taking the job back? Why did Ziva not call Tony beforehand? He had so many questions but he wondered if those were even answers he wanted. It could end poorly either way. The male was bothered by so much right now. He tried to listen to everything Ziva said in a neutral way. Before Tony reacted, he figured it was best to hear all the facts first. That was important.
So let me get this straight. You fell in love with me and then you got pregnant but you ran away? That doesnt make sense, Ziva. If you fell in love, why did you leave? Was Ziva that terrified of love? Was Ziva that scared of having a love life? Was she that afraid of being his? Did she not think he was fit to be a father or her lover? More than a lover? Fuck, this was making his head spinning right now. How could this have happened? How was he so reckless? Even though Tony never liked kids, if this was his own child, he wanted to be there.
You cant read my mind, Ziva. Youre wrong. Do you know why I did have been with so many women? I am afraid of committing to something because I am afraid I will fail. I dont want to die old and alone with nothing but one night stands in my past. Plus, I care about you too, Ziva. I wanted you to be mine but I never thought I would have the chance. I guess I should not fault you for not speaking up because I did not either, but I can say that I did not run away.
That part did frustrate Tony. She ran away. She did not try to address the issue. Things had not been well for her though. She was tortured yet she talked about it like it was not a big deal. God, Tony was pissed, he was sad, he was upset, but eh could not feel too angry with Ziva. Not knowing what else to do, he wrapped his arms around Ziva and pulled her into a hug.

Ellie took her time getting dressed and watched as Derek pulled out clothes and showered, shaved, and redressed. She finished dressing and turned him when he whistled at her, laughing. "I'm sure you will. Gotta make sure that no one sweeps me off my feet." The blonde smiled when he rested his hands on her hips and then kissed her. She was happy to stand on her tiptoes to kiss him back, as he squeezed her waist. "I love you, too, Derek." The young woman nodded at his words, able to see clearly on his face that he was telling the truth. He reallywasexcited to do this.
The blonde happily held his hand as they ended the kiss, and then headed back out to the car. "We also need to keep in mind that we might get some funny looks. We don't know how people in this BDSM culture feel about interracial relationships. It could turn out to be like Mississippi or something, so we need to be aware of each other and our surroundings at all times, just to be on the safe side." The two of them got into the car a few moments later, and she moved into the passenger seat and buckled up as Derek drove to the club. "We're gonna need a safeword or some kind of distress signal."
Ziva sighed softly, as she listened to Tony speak. "You are right. But I think I am not explaining this right. I fell in love with you after we slept together. Then, a few weeks later, I found out that I was pregnant and so I ran away," She admitted to him. "It makes plenty of sense, Tony. You scare the hell out of me." The young woman told him seriously. "I have had relationships before. Friendships, and romantic relationships. But none of those people could do the one thing that you could do, which would be to hurt me so bad I could not recover. You are not the only one with relationship issues."
"I had so much going through my mind, and all I knew was that I needed to get away and figure things out." She stopped talking once more and listened as he started to speak once more. "Neither one of us are good at the emotional side of things and instead of dealing with it, I left. I am sorry," Ziva said softly, and when Tony stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her, she willingly went into his arms, wrapping her own around him tightly. "I missed you every single day," The young woman admitted. "And just so you know, Tali knows who you are. I show her pictures of you and us every day. I talk to her about you all the time."

Agreeing with Ellie, Derek and his fianc decided on a safe word. If she or Derek spoke the word, they both knew to escape as quickly as they could. Holding her hand while they drove, the happy couple arrived to the club within the hour. During their time working undercover, they would stay in an apartment near the club. It was already set up with everything they wanted and needed in the apartment. As he parked in the lot, Derek admired the outside. BDSM clubs like this gave the lifestyle a bad name. It was not something so dark and sinister even though many thought it was. The club was dimly lit outside and the lot was full. As they exited the car, Derek held Ellies hand as they approached the entrance.
Music could be heard from outside of the club. When they entered, Derek held Ellies hand as they moved through the front where some security was stationed. Entering the actual club area, Derek felt like he was in heaven. There were cuffs, gags, blindfolds, floggers, and other things all around. There were private rooms for couples that wanted to have some fun. There were stages where some performing happened. Some were dressed up all in the latex and leather gear but Derek never was interested in that. Others looked to enjoy the lighter side as Derek and Ellie were not the only ones dressed normally. Wow where should we start? He asked with a chuckle just before a woman was approaching them. Derek realized that she was the owner of this place they had researched her before entering undercover. This was one of the suspects but now she had a smile on her face, ready to welcome the new faces she saw.
I missed you too, Ziva. Tony admitted after pulling back from the hug. Looking deep into the womans eyes, the young man frowned while looking deep into her eyes. I can relate. You are not good with emotions. Neither am I. I can forgive you for that, Ziva. I want to. But do you know what Im having a tough time with right now? You kept my child from me. My flesh. My blood. Believe it or not, I would want to be there for the birth of my daughter. You kept that from me. You took that from me. Its not fair, Ziva. Ive been living my life the past year without even knowing I have a kid. How could you do that? It shouldnt matter about how you feel about me or vice versa. This is a kid were talking about. Do you think it makes up for that by showing her pictures of me?
Tony shook his head and his it was throbbing. You know for a fact that she is mine, Ziva? If she is, I want to be in her life. I MUST be in her life. I dont care if we cant fix thing between us. I do care, but if we cant, you will not keep me out of her life anymore Ziva. I will make sure of that. Tony had secretly wanted kids at one point but he did not picture it happening quite like this.

A smile came to Ellie's lips as Derek asked her where she wanted to start. "How about we have some fun with the whips, cuffs, and floggers? I'm sure that it won't take us long to get the hang of it.." She said and then chuckled softly as they took in everything and everyone around them. The blonde fell silent and discreetly nudged him, as she noticed the owner of the club walking over to them. The three of them introduced themselves and chatted for a little while. Eventually once the owner had left, she felt herself relax a little, and resumed looking around the club.
"Well? How about it? Feel like cuffing me and whipping me with the whips, floggers and more?" There was an excited look on her face and she was really starting to get into this scene. But even though she was excited, she didn't forget the reason they were there, but in all honesty, she couldn't wait to get started. She and Derek had discussed it a few times, adding more BDSM to their sex life but hadn't reached a compromise just yet. Her attention was all over the place as she took in the many different types of people all around them, and all the different things those people were doing.
"I am sorry for hurting you and keeping Tali from you, Tony. That is the last thing I ever want to do. To be honest, I was not thinking straight. I did not know what to do, so I ran. It was a cowardly thing to do, and I will spend the rest of my life regretting it and trying to make it up to you." A sad smile ghosted over Ziva's lips when Tony said that he had wanted to be there for Tali's birth. "I did not know you felt that way and I am sorry that my actions hurt both you, and our daughter. I know that it does not make up for her not knowing you, and I wish I could do it over."
"Yes, I know for a fact that Tali is your daughter. I have not slept with anyone since you and I slept together, and I was not seeing anyone else when we slept together. I do not make it a habit of having many sexual partners at once." She nodded when Tony said that he wanted to be in Tali's life. "If you want a DNA test to prove her paternity, I am willing to have that done. As for you being in her life, that is why I came back. I could not stand being away from you any longer, and I hated keeping her from you and you from her. I knew that if I wanted to be a good mother to our daughter, then I had to get over my fears and come back here to face you and everyone else."
"I have no plans to keep you out of her life. I am working on dealing with my fears, about you, about us, and about what all of it means. You can see Tali whenever you like. I will inform Shani and Tamir of this, so that there will be no issue of you having access to her. And just so that you know, Gibbs and Vance already know all of this. When I got back to DC, I had a long talk with both of them. Gibbs is actually the one who convinced me that it was a good idea to come back. He talked about losing his wife and daughter and told me not to waste time making regrets that can be easily avoided."

The owner was nice enough but looks were deceiving. Before leaving the couple, the owner brought Ellie and Derek to the side of the club where they could buy bondage gear. It was something that she did, letting a new couple choose one thing free of charge. There were so many things here but Derek settled on a leather collar and leash. Once it was chosen, Derek realized it was time to begin. They found an open, private room as the music continued around them. Once they were alone, Derek closed the door and winked at the blonde. It was a perfect idea to start with cuffs and floggers. Plus, there was a collar here.
Hold your hair out of the way, baby. Derek murmured, waiting for Ellie to comply. He used the collar, placing it around her neck. Obviously, it was not choking her and it was not too snug. The inside of it was soft anyways so it should feel nice on her skin. Inside the room, there were many toys to play with. The first thing Derek went for was a set of handcuffs. It was not like the ones they used. They were built like wrist cuffs with the leather being the same as the collar. There was a strong chain in between the two cuffs and Derek was happy to try this. Okay, give me your hands. Keep them in front for now. Derek murmured while quickly cuffing the leather around her wrists. Do you feel submissive yet? He teased while his arms snaked around her, squeezing her backside.
I believe you, Ziva. I dont know why I believe you, but I do. I believe you are sorry for hurting me and I believe that you thought you were doing the best thing you could. Even if her actions were unforgivable, Tony was going to forgive the woman. It did not matter what she did. His feelings were too strong. Why in the world did he care about her so much? She hurt him in the worst way possible. She kept something from him that she should not have. Her decisions were wrong and she made a huge mistake. She was right, she did not know how he felt because she never asked him. That was unfair to Tony. It was all too unfair and painful.
Although he wanted Ziva to show him the paternity test, he decided against it. Something told the male that she was being serious about this. Tony did not think he was the only one that hooked up often. He figured it could have been any males child but the way Ziva was acting, he believed her. Plus, he did not know she had only him as a sexual partner when they were together. Tony waited until his former partner finished speaking so he could answer her. So much had gone through his mind right now. Tony of course wished she did not wait this long, but the past was the past. It was time to focus on something more important. It was time to focus on family and being together with the woman he cared deeply about. It was time to meet his daughter. Just thinking about being a father was unnerving especially he did not have nine months to prepare himself for this. It was all so random and so quick. That combined with his emotional pain took a toll.
I want to meet Tali as soon as possible. I would like that. I would like to have you in my life again. I dont know at what length our relationship could be, but I want to be in my childs life. I missed you so much. I hate to admit feeling like this, but I do. I am happy to have you back. Please promise me you will never do something like this again. If you run away again, I swear on everything I will never forgive you.

Once they were in the room, Ellie moved her hair to the side once Derek said to do so, so that he could slip the collar around her neck. Once it was securely around her neck, she watched as he walked over and picked up a pair of handcuffs. The blonde nodded at his next words, crossed to where he stood and then held out her hands to him so that he could slip the cuffs on her. She smirked at him when he asked if she felt submissive yet. "Not yet, but then we're only just getting started." The young woman said, and loved it when he wrapped his arms around her.
"So, what should we do next? Are you going to tie me me up? Have me suck you off? Or are you going to paddle me, use both of my holes?" There was a grin on her lips as she waited to see how Derek was going to respond to her words. This was going to be hot, and the only thing that she had even the slightest hesitation about, was that they were being monitored by NCIS. Their friends and coworkers didn't know that they were into BDSM, even though it was tame compared to some of the stuff that she saw others doing here. A few moments later, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
"I promise that I will never do anything like this again. From now on, anything that happens, we will handle it together." After a few moments of silence fell between them she spoke again and said, "Since today is Friday, you should come over tonight after work. Pack some clothes and the three of us will spend the weekend together." Ziva said, figuring that the sooner he met Tali, the sooner they could start working on making things better between the two of them. "I will give Tamir and Shani the weekend off, and it will be just the three of us together, as a family."
After she spoke, she leaned over and pressed the emergency stop button, and the doors opened in front of them once more. "I know that your head is spinning. You are confused, angry, sad, happy, and many other things and I get that. But we need to focus on work right now. You can come over tonight and see her. She will probably be asleep by the time we finish up here and then get to the hotel, but you will still have the rest of the weekend to get to know her. What do you think?" Ziva asked Tony a few moments later. She just hoped things went well, whatever he decided.

I will do many things, love. Derek promised his fianc. What to do next? It was a valid question because Derek saw so many pieces of bondage equipment that he desired to use. His eyes moved from location to location until he found something extraordinary a red ball gag. Derek grabbed the smallest ball gag he could find because he wanted to prevent any drooling that was associated with larger gags. Taking the gag, he showed it to Ellie with a soft smile. She already knew about the love of gags he had but they just did not have a ball gag. Up to this point, it had been mostly cleave gags in the bedroom. This is something Ive wanted to try for a long time. He winked at the blonde, approaching her with a bounce in his step.
Whenever her mouth opened, Derek placed the gag in between her teeth. Keeping her hair out of the way, he latched the gag tightly at the base of her skull. Once it was in place, the young man locked eyes with Ellie as she was now cuffed, gagged, and collared. The leash was detached at the moment. Now, lets see you down on your knees like a good submissive girl. He ordered, his voice deep and throaty as he was becoming more turned on by the moment.
Tony felt better when Ziva promised to never do anything like this again. Words were words, though. Tony would have to watch her actions because they spoke so much louder than words. She had a habit of doing things on her own when things got tough in her life like with her father and this situation. If they were going to be in each others life, if they were going to be parents together, her business was now his business and vice versa. Sure. I will come over tonight. Just let me know where you are staying. I would like spending the weekend together. How old is she now? When did you have her? Tony asked, happy to be spending time with Ziiva and their child.
You are right. There are many things going on in my mind right now. But I want to do this. We will do this. Now, lets just get back to work and finish his day. Im honestly excited to see our little girl. Tony said with a small smile on his face as the doors opened. When they returned to the squad room, Tony walked in front of Ziva and he did not bother with looking back or making another comment though Tim was looking at the both, hoping for an explanation. Stop staring, McCurious. Nothing to see here right now.

She stood there and let Derek place the gag in her mouth, and then tie it tightly around the back of her head. When that was done, they locked eyes and the blonde smiled, well, as much as she could with the gag in her mouth. His words had her nodding and a within moments of him speaking, she dropped down to her knees on the ground. She knew that he was loving this, and couldn't wait for the fun to really get started. This was their chance to act out the things they had been discussing and fantasizing about for the longest time. She remained on her knees and looked up at him.
Ellie waited for the next command, but nothing came. She figured that Derek was taking his time and enjoying her looking like this for him. It also had the bonus of being in a sort of public setting and the blonde knew just how much this was turning him on. It was turning her on, too, but she was also impatient and wanting to get started losing clothes and having fun. Sure, they were undercover and this was a serious situation, but there was no reason that they couldn't mix their work and play just this once. The blonde remained still, her eyes locked on his and waited for his command.
"Tali is 5 months old. I had her in April. She just made 5 months yesterday."
Ziva gave him the name of the hotel where she and Tali were staying, and as they exited the elevator she said, "I left a picture of her on your desk. Keep it. I have many other pictures of her, and I will make some copies for you." They both got back to their desks and she saw the curious look that McGee gave them, and simply smiled at him. "Tony is right. There is nothing to see here." Though a small smile came to her lips as she saw Tony lift the picture of Tali off his desk and look it over. Then she turned back to the paperwork on her desk and began to fill it out.
Over the next few hours, they actually managed to spend most of the day at NCIS, which was a rare thing. Several of the other teams were sent on cases, but the hours passed quickly and still Gibbs did not show up and tell them that they had a case. Ziva was about to call it a day at the office, when Gibbs showed up 3 hours before the end of the day and told them to grab their gear. Without waiting for another word from any of the others, she jumped up, grabbed her gear, and then quickly followed the others as they left for the crime scene. It was her first case since returning to DC 2 weeks ago.

There was not another command yet. Instead, Derek removed his jacket and dropped it onto the floor behind his legs. Reaching down, Derek used his hands to slowly remove the belt from his pants. If not for the floggers and whips inside the bedroom, he would use this to spank his fiance. Instead, he just dropped the belt down as well. Next, he unzipped the zipper of his dress pants after undoing the button. Spreading his legs a bit, the dress pants and boxers fell down around his ankles. It pooled around his shoes that were quickly stepped out of. Reaching down, he guided her cuffed hands to his crotch. Her palms were against his balls as he wanted Ellie to start stroking his cock while her hands were cuffed together.
It might not be natural or easy for the woman to perform, but she could since her hands were bound in front. As she did this, Derek gripped the base of his manhood and pressed the tip against her upper lip. Having her suck him off was an amazing idea that would happen soon enough. Instead, he just wanted her to use her gagged lips to rub against his cock. Then, the head pressed into her cheek as his hands reached down to slide through her hair. Rub my cock, baby. Get me as hard as I can get. Let me hear you moan, too. I want to hear how hot you sound with a ball gag in your mouth.
Having Ziva stay at a hotel seemed wrong. Maybe he could invite Ziva and Tali to stay at his place for the weekend at least. Part of him wanted to suggest that they move in with him but he wondered if that was too quick for such a young girl. Back at his desk, the male looked down at the picture and decided to tuck it into his desk: not because he was disappointed or embarrassed, but he wanted to keep it safe. If the picture was locked in his desk, nothing could happen to it. As of now, it was the only picture of Tali he had so he wanted to make sure it was safe and make sure that nothing happened to it.
The day went by and Tony was much happier than before. He loved everything that was going on now even if there were many different emotions going through his mind. Overall, though, Tony decided that he was happy with everything that was going on. It could be much worse. Tony almost groaned when Gibbs said it was time for a case. The male went and grabbed his gear, following everyone out to the car. McGee was driving with Gibbs in the front seat. Tony sat in the back with Ziva. They were going to an alleyway outside of a bar. There was a dead marine that was in the bar hours ago but was now behind a dumpster.

Ellie watched as Derek removed his jacket and then dropped it onto the floor. Her eyes happily went to his crotch and she watched as he removed his belt and dropped it onto the floor as well. Her eyes lingered on the zipper for a little too long as he slid it down and then unbuttoned his pants. As soon as his pants and boxers fell to the ground, her eyes immediately zoomed in on his cock. When he reached out and grabbed her hands, to bring them to his crotch, she had no problem going along with what he wanted. With a few moments, her hands were at his crotch, stroking his cock.
It wasn't exactly easy given her position, but that didn't stop her from doing what Derek wanted. And her hands continued to work his cock. She watched him grip his cock at the base and press it against her gagged lips. As he started to rub his cock back and forth across the gag over her lips, she felt the head of it press against her cheek, followed by the feeling of his hands moving through her hair. His words caused her to nod and she kept working his cock, letting out soft moans as she did so, at his encouragement. Her hands started to fondle and squeeze his balls.
They arrived at the crime scene a few minutes later and all of them exited the car and moved to do their jobs. Talking to Ducky and witnesses, collecting samples to send to the lab, working the scene and reading the clues left behind. They managed to run the marine's fingerprints through CODIS and came up with a match. The next several hours were spent talking to friends and family members, and it was nearly 2 am by the time they had run down all their leads and arrested the marine's brother for killing him because a financial deal had gone sour between them.
By the time they had finished up with paperwork back at NCIS, it was 4 am. After several calls through the day to check on Tali, they were finally done for the day. They each went in their
own cars, and Ziva gave Tony the address to the hotel, and said that she would be waiting up for him, while he drove to his place to get clothes and things he would need for the weekend.
20 minutes later, she got to the hotel, thanked Shani and Tamir for taking care of Tali, and told them good night. She took a quick shower and changed into some shorts and a shirt, and
then walked over to Tali and covered her with the blanket.
Ziva leaned over the baby bed and pressed a gentle kiss to her daughter's cheek. "Tomorrow you get to meet abba. I can tell that he already loves you so much.." She whispered the words to her daughter. The young woman spent the next while just watching her daughter sleep, until there was the sound of a knock on the door. She grabbed her gun off the bedside table, just to be safe, and went to answer the door. At the sight of Tony through the peephole, she unlocked and opened the door so that he could enter. Once he had, she closed and locked the door, and then put her gun away.
Then she led him across the room to where their daughter slept. "Tony, this is Tali."

It only took a few minutes before Derek became erect. From the love he felt for Ellie to the handcuffs, ball gag, and the collar, it was impossible not to grow hard. After she had fondled his balls, Derek gently gripped her hands and stopped the blonde. Stepping back, Derek removed the tie from his neck but did not drop it onto the ground. Instead, he wanted to blindfold Ellie. When her eyes close, he wrapped the tie around her beautiful eyes and head, tying a tight knot at the back . From this point, he helped Ellie onto the bed, sitting her down onto the edge. Just stay right there, love. You look so hot like this, baby. Damn. I dont know how much longer I can go without fucking you.
With the same grin on his face, Derek turned back towards the assortment of toys. He grabbed one of the other leather cuffs. This one, however, was used for her ankles. Crouching in front of her, he quickly attached those cuffs onto her ankles as he kept the heels on her feet. Now that he was nude, Derek climbed onto the bed beside Ellie, sitting beside of her while bringing her hands to his cock. Can you act, Ellie? I am going to find out. Convince me that youre my captive, that youre trying to escape. He whispered softly into her ear, kissing down her neck eagerly.
Some cases took multiple days. Thankfully, this case did not. Even though it took him into the early hours of the morning, Tony was wide awake with anticipation. The case was over and he held the address close while also taking the picture of Tali to his home. Leaving it on his bed, Tony packed clothing and other necessities for three days at the hotel. He would probably end up breaking down and offering his place for Ziva. No child of his was going to live in a damn hotel. She was going to get a better treatment than that. Besides, a family needed to be together.
He showered and gathered his belongings before showing up to the hotel. At the door, he was not too surprised when Ziva was carrying a gun. After she put it away, the dark-haired male grinned after it was over. When he was lead into Talis room, he had to look twice. Tali did look like him a bit. A smile broke out onto his face and tears were brimming over his eyes. Not wanting to wake her but not being able to help himself, he gently leaned over to touch a kiss to her head.
After that, he pulled back and just stood there, looking at her for a good ten minutes, gently crying though he kept everything silent. After it was over, he turned back with Ziva and walked out the room, wiping his eyes.I am sorry for ever doubting you. I can feel that she is mine. Thank you so much for finally telling me. I am scared to death but I am also excited. I think this is something we can do. We have to. I want to give her a better life than I had.

Ellie paused when she felt Derek grab her hands and stop her from touching him. She watched as he stepped back and removed the tie from his neck. The blonde waited to see what he was going to do with it, and didn't have to wait long as he lifted it and stepped towards her. Getting his drift, she closed her eyes and allowed him to slip the tie around her and blindfold her. Once it was tied in a knot, she remained where she was until he helped her up from the floor and onto the bed, as he helped her to sit down. His words had her trying to smile against the gag, knowing just how much he enjoyed this.
A few moments later, she heard him moving around the room and rummaging around with the toys and more. A few moments later, the blonde felt him slip something that felt like leather around her ankles, and knew that it was leather cuffs. After that, Ellie felt the bed dip as Derek got onto the bed as well and sat down beside her. His hands covered hers and then she felt
him move her hands to his cock. She nodded at his words and then immediately pulled her hands away from his cock, as she started to pull on the bindings on her hand, as she pretended to try and escape.
Ziva stood there in silence and watched Tony's reaction to seeing their daughter for the first time. She contemplated going over to him and consoling him, but was not sure if it was a good idea or not. So, since she did not know what to do, she simply remained where she was and continued to watch him. She smiled when he leaned over Tali as she slept, and kissed their daughter's head. It was a sweet action, and she was glad to finally be able to see it happen. When he pulled back from the kiss and stood there, just watching Tali sleep, she knew how he
felt.
When he seemed to get his fill of taking in the sight of their daughter, he turned and exited the room, and Ziva followed him so that they were in the other room, and would not wake their daughter. "I do not blame you for doubting me. You would be foolish to believe me without proof. As for me finally telling you, you do not need to thank me. It was past time for the two
of you to meet." She nodded when Tony said that he was scared but also excited. "We will give her a better life. Her life is already better because both of us are with her. When she wakes
up in a few hours, she will be happy to meet her abba."

After a couple minutes of watching Ellie struggle, Dereks boner had reached its peak. Changing her position, the young man assisted his fianc into a position where she was sitting on her hands and knees with her ass in the air. The position made Derek smirk as he grabbed a whip from the rack inside the bedroom. Taking the flogger, he pulled the material of her dress that covered her ass up slightly against her back. Once her butt was exposed, he pulled down her panties enough so her cheeks were uncovered. You have such a sexy ass, baby. I love it so much. The male whispered as he took the whip and cracked it over her rear. This happened once, and then twice as he made sure her backside was stinging from the flogger. I will punish you like this from now on. If you break your rules, if you act like a bad girl, Im going to have you bent over while I use a flogger on your pretty ass.
With a grin, Derek slapped her ass with the whip one more time to get his point across. Standing at the edge of the bed, his legs pressed against the foot of the bed and his gigantic, throbbing sex rested in between Ellies ass cheeks. Mmm, I cant wait to fuck your ass baby. Lets see you shake it for me. Try to get me off like this. He commanded, letting his girth rest in between her cheeks.
If Tony and Ziva saw eye to eye with only one thing: it was their child. Too many times, he saw and heard about cases where the mother and father did not get along and it ruined the childs life. Much of that was accurate for his parents, too. Tony was determined to never let anything between himself and Talis mother impact his daughter. Once they were alone now, he smiled softly at Ziva. It was early in the morning hours an Tony was tired. He wanted to be wide awake when he got to see Tali and meet her for the first time. He would likely never let her go.
Alright. I can take the couch or a chair. You should stay in the bed. What are your plans now? I know you cant just stay in a hotel forever. Are you looking at any places? Tony asked curiously, also figuring it was best if they did not sleep in the same bed together. He was wondering how Ziva felt about it as he did not want to push things too far too fast so he tried to get a read on her reaction as he suggested their sleeping arrangements since there was only one bed in the hotel.

Ellie let Derek move her to her hands and knees with her ass sticking out. She watched as he grabbed a whip and then pulled her dress up her back and revealed her ass to him. A few moments later, she remained still and let him remove her panties as well. His words had her smirking and then she jumped and moaned once he smacked her on the ass with the flogger.
The first smack was quickly followed by two more, which made her flinch and moan at the same time each time. The blonde nodded when he spoke again, saying that he would punish
her like this from now on.
She was fine with that. Everything Derek was currently doing only served to turn her on and want more. He whipped her ass with the flogger once more and then set it aside. The blonde waited to see what he was going to do next and within moments Ellie felt his cock between her ass cheeks, which made her moan even louder. His words had her eagerly shaking her ass
for him, wanting to encourage him to do more than just tease and spank her, but to start fucking her now. When Derek told her to try and get him off like that, she immediately started to work her ass on his cock.
"If we do not share the bed, no one is going to sleep in it. So I guess that means we will both sleep on the couch." After speaking, she got up and got some extra blankets and pillows and set them up on the couch, before she motioned for him to sit down on the couch, and then sat down beside him. "As for my plans for now, I am looking for a house. One with a nice backyard and enough room for Tali to run around and play and swim in when she is older. I am looking for one with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a big kitchen and a big backyard. It does not need to be fancy, it only needs to fulfil the requirements I just listed."
After she spoke, Ziva reached out for the remote to the TV and turned it on, relaxing back into the couch as they talked. She kept the volume at a decent level, where it was loud enough so they could hear the TV, but not so loud that it woke up Tali. "I think that tomorrow or Sunday, you should meet Shani and Tamir. They are the ones who will be with Tali while we are at work all day every day. I trust them to look after her, and once you meet them, you will, too. Shani is a teacher, and Tamir was a police officer in Israel. They both lost their families and wanted to start over. So I asked them to join me here in DC."

We should set up some rules. The first rule is that every now and again, I will set out your clothing for the day. If you do not wear it, you will be punished. I think we could also get you a choker necklace. It is something you can wear anywhere without raising suspicion. A moan left the males mouth after saying this as her backside worked his cock. Some BDSM relationships had the dominant choosing the submissive clothing every day. Of course, Derek figured that they would work up to that. Besides, it was not like he would choose anything outrageous that she would not wear at least her lingerie. They would work on things.
And when were in the bedroom, you can start calling me Master now and again. Soon, it will be full time when were playing. Derek continued, deciding to give her a few rules tonight. It was not too many, not wanting to overwhelm her. Once his fianc understood everything, he reached down and spread open her ass cheeks wide so her rosebud was revealed. Before entering, Derek let the tip press inside of her, just penetrating her with the slightest of ease. A moan left his lips, causing the young man to lean back struggle to keep balance as this already felt better than he ever imagined or hoped for. ellie. He breathed out, slowly rolling their hips together.
That was strange. Ziva did not even offer to sleep separately. It was like she was hellbent on them sleeping on the same surface. It surprised Tony. They had not seen each other in so long but Ziva was eager to be close, it seemed. Nonetheless, he sat down on the couch since they had both planned to sleep on the couch. He listened to Ziva talk about looking for a house. She had some nice ideas and Tony knew a few places, He could help her look. As the TV was turned on, he listened to the woman speak about meeting Tamir and Shani. She was doing good for them, giving a chance to start over but there was something Tony did not sit well with.
It will be nice to have you back and nice to have Tali close, but this means that I wont come home to her every evening. He murmured softly. Why should she get to keep Tali all on her own? She kept Tali from her father, kept her a secret and did not even say anything to him about it yet she got to come home every day to her. When did Tony get to see her? Weekends? That was so unfair and he was a bit worried about that. There was not much he could do, it seemed. How often do I get her? He asked, hoping she was not going to try and keep him out more than she already had.

Ellie nodded at Derek's words, not saying anything as she was sure that he didn't want her to talk just yet. She smiled at the sound of his moans a few moments later, as she worked her ass against his cock. The blonde listened as he described how he wanted her to call him Master when they were in bed together, and nodded. Though the idea seemed like a bit much to her. She moaned softly when he reached down and spread her ass cheeks, and then she felt him rub the tip of his cock against her, slipping inside just the slightest bit. Sort of teasing her and getting her ready.
As soon as the rest of his cock entered her, she paused for a few moments to get used to the way it felt. The two of them did anal sometimes, but it wasn't a regular thing, at least not yet. Several minutes later after she had gotten used to the feeling of his cock in her ass, she moved back against him, encouraging him to keep going. His actions were slow and Ellie was pretty sure that he did it like that to drive her crazy. She wasn't one for much patience in bed. Their bodies joined and unjoined and she loved how it felt. The blonde had a feeling this was going to be her favorite assignment yet.
Ziva looked at Tony. "I was thinking to start with, that you would get to see her on the weekends. Friday morning you could pack some necessities in a bag for the weekend. We could meet up after work on Friday's and you would come over and spend the weekend with us, and this way you would get to spend time with Tali, and I can keep an eye on her. I do not handle being away from her well. When I woke up in that hospital 3 days after nearly dying, I needed to see her as soon as the doctor said I could. And since then I have struggled with being away from her."
"I will never again make the mistake of not allowing you access to our daughter. Something that you will need to keep in mind, though, is that while she knows you are her abba, she has only seen pictures of you and has not seen you in person. She may be scared at first, as she is not used to you. So do not take it personally if she is shy or afraid tomorrow. It will take some time for her to get to know you." Ziva paused for a moment and then said, "I am thinking of trying to get a house somewhere near your apartment, if you do not have a problem with that."
"I am thinking that maybe you could spend time with her for a few hours in the mornings before work during the week, so that you can see her every day, if you are amenable to that. And then like I said before, you can come over on Friday nights and we will all spend the weekend together. When she is older, we will discuss the idea of her staying at your place. But she is too young right now."

As soon as Ellie began moving her ass against his crotch, Derek took the hint. The males own hips began to thrust back-and-forth rapidly. Since they did not use anal too often, Derek was still learning exactly where Ellies sweet spots were located inside of her ass. The young man had a clue, but he was not entirely sure yet. When he started pumping his hips, Derek attacked those sensitive areas at full speed, hoping to find out more about his sweet fianc. Moans started falling from his lips as her tight rear squeezed his length. The hole was almost impassable, but that made it feel even better. He could feel himself tearing through her walls. Derek rested his hands onto Ellies ass. From this position, he could both hold her down so the wild thrusting did not throw her off balance and play with her backside all at the same time. His breathing became rapid and heavy, his head tilting back just slightly as his eyes struggled to stay open.
The pleasure was so euphoric that all he wanted was to close his eyes and focus on every sensation. Of course, he did not do that. His eyes remained wide open, watching Ellies ass shake and bounce each time he thrust forward. God, this feel so good, baby. I am going to cum all inside of your ass. He breathed out, now moving one hand up her back and into her hair, tangling and pulling rather roughly on her locks.
Tony knew he should not have expected Ziva to be different. This was his own fault for thinking foolishly. Weekends only? As a federal agent and former detective in Baltimore, DiNozzo had work experience and common knowledge that when a parent was limited to weekends only for their children, this parent was normally an addict, a prisoner, or all of the above. He wanted to scoff when Ziva said that. Sure, maybe she talked about eventually seeing her more often but seeing her every day was apparently not a good idea. Tony wondered how she was allowed to make such an executive decision. Tali was his daughter, too. She might have appeared to try and compromise with him, but Tony did not get that feeling.
Weekends, Ziva? Are you serious. I once saw a case where the father of a child was convicted of murder and after he was out of prison, he got weekends with his child. I am sorry if thats abrasive but I am far from a killer and I have a right to see my child more than three days a week. Tony was a little hurt that she thought that was good enough. Here she was rambling about how tough it was to be away from Tali. She should have thought how that would make him feel, keeping him away for as long as she did.
If anyone should be restricted to weekends, it damn sure was not Tony. Its whatever, Ziva. I dont want you to run off again. Ill try your way, then. Lets just get some sleep. Im too tired to deal with you right now. We can deal with this tomorrow. Muttering these words underneath his breath, Tony turned on his side and nestled into the couch though he did not try to sleep just yet in case Ziva actually had something to say to him but he expected her to stay quiet since she seemed to run from any issue she faced.

Ellie moaned loudly as Derek thrust in and out of her ass. She eagerly moved back against him, urging him on and on, loving how it felt for them to do this. They didn't experiment with anal often, and now that they were, she was enjoying it. The sound of his moans mixing with hers was wonderful. The blonde scrabbled to find something to hold onto as he kept pounding away at her ass, and she bit down on her lip, as he shoved himself deeper inside of her. She felt his hands on her ass a few moments later, squeezing the flesh and gripping it as he pounded away at her.
The blonde wasn't used to being held down, and her first reaction was to use her training and throw him off of her, but thankfully she didn't. Ellie had to remind herself that she was safe, and with Derek, and that she could take care of herself if it came down to it. His words were just what she needed to help her relax. And the young woman resumed pressing her ass back against him as he continued to thrust. "Fuck me, Derek. Pound my ass so hard so I can't sit for a week." The words brought a grin to her lips as she said them, knowing it would drive him crazy.
"I am sorry," Ziva told him softly, honestly. "It was not my intention to imply that you would be a bad parent to Tali. I do not think that at all. I know that you will be wonderful with her. And even without that implication, when do you plan on seeing her, Tony? I am Tali's custodial parent and I barely see her as it is. Our jobs take up a lot of our time and the only way to change that would be to leave NCIS or to not work, and neither of us can afford to do that. So, you need to tell me what you think can happen when we are both busy working during the week."
"I know that you are not satisfied with my answer, but I do not know what else to do. I am trying here, but I do not have all the answers on how to make this work. I told you that I will not keep you from seeing Tali and I meant it, Tony. I just do not know what good it would do for you to try and see her every day when she is always already in bed and asleep by the time the two of us get home from work for the day. If you have an idea, I am all eyes." She told him and then frowned slightly, not sure if she had gotten the American expression correct.

Ball gags were starting to give cleave gags a run for first place in what he liked the most. The way Ellies words sounded was so arousing and electrifying. It could only create more motivation for Derek to thrust harder against his fianc, driving his thick cock as deep inside the blonde as possible. It was easily the deepest he reached inside her ass than ever before. Moans continued falling from his lips as his mind grew hazy. It was tough to concentrate when he felt so much arousal. Ellie was bound, gagged, blindfolded, and her ass was there for the taking. Dereks fantasies were not even this hot as the real thing surpassed every imagined scenario he thought of.
A good dominant always considered pleasuring the submissive, too. It should not be one-sided. Keeping that in mind, Derek slowly slipped a hand in between Ellies legs as he fucked her from behind, As his cock continued to slide in and out of her rear with ease, the male pressed the pads of two fingers against her clitoris. He would rub circles on the flesh while sometimes sliding those same fingers into her womanhood. All Derek wanted was to make Ellie cum, too. Derek knew it would not take long for his orgasm to reach, but he wanted Ellie to have the same feeling, too.
Ears. Youre all ears, Ziva. Tony responded gruffly and laughed wryly. He was not satisfied with this, no. Ziva always had to be the one that was right, she had to be the one with the correct answer and it bothered Tony to no end. As I said, well talk about it tomorrow. But I dont see why you and Tali just couldnt move into my place. I get that you dont want to, but I think it makes sense. I want to see her each day. You want to see her each day. Thats the only logical place. Tony pointed out as he waited to hear her reaction. It could work out for the best. They both got to see their daughter. Besides, Tony thought they were still together so he had no reason to think they would not stay separately. He was just surprised Ziva did not expect that.
What about us? Does this mean were not picking up where we left off? Tony asked because he did not feel any different than last time. You said that you love me so I think we should move in together now. Well build our relationship too. Tony added as he looked into her eyes, seeing if she was on the same thought pattern as he was.

Ellie was going crazy as Derek pounded away at her. Each time he slammed in and out of her, it caused her to moan louder and louder. She was probably drawing some unwanted attention to them, but she couldn't find it in herself to care right now. The blonde resumed eagerly slamming her body back against his, trying to make both of them feel amazing. She felt it as he slipped a hand between her legs while he fucked her, and as soon as his fingers entered her, she bucked against his hand, needing and wanting so much more. Her fiance's hand and fingers were bringing her close to the edge.
She tried to force more of his hand inside of her, trying to give him plain permission without being able to speak, for him to slip his whole hand inside of her and fist her while he fucked her. It was something that they had never done before, and she was eager to try it. There was just something so stimulating and freeing about being in this club and being able to let loose and really do all the things they had thought of doing before, but had never actually done. Ellie cried in pleasure against the gag, as Derek slammed into her harder and harder, which she really enjoyed.
"Oh," Ziva said and shrugged when Tony corrected her when she had used the expression wrong. "Americans and their strange expressions.." She mumbled under her breath and then let it go. When he mentioned the idea of her and Tali moving into his apartment, the young woman shook her head. "I do not think that is wise. And not because I am trying to keep the two of you apart, but because I still want to get a house, with that big backyard for Tali and the other things I mentioned before. As for you seeing her every day maybe we can do a run trial to see how it does."
She had to admit to being surprised when Tony asked if they were picking up where they left off. "I did not know if you would want that. What about your other partners? It would be awkward if you brought your date back to your place, and Tali and I were there." The young woman paused when he resumed speaking, and when he was done, she said only one thing which would be what would decide if they should move in together. "Do you love me, Tony? And I do not mean like a friend or co-worker." Ziva was aware that she had no right to ask that after everything, but she needed to know where they stood.

Throughout their relationship, Derek always maintained his desire to keep Ellie safe. Even during sex when he desired to rough her around the bedroom, Derek made sure he held back enough to prevent harm from happening to the blonde. Tonight, he felt that she wanted him to shove his fingers even further inside of her pussy. Fisting was not something they had ever done before but Derek wanted to try it. Hell, there was hardly anything that Derek did not want to try so he gave Ellie what she wanted, slowly adding another finger into her womanhood each time until he was properly fisting her, rolling all five fingers around against her vaginal walls as his hand became coated in her juices.
While fisting her with one hand, the other was massaging her ass. Sometimes, he switched it up and started to spank the blonde, watching her hot, firm ass bounce and jiggle with each movement. Moans were falling from his lips again as his head tilted back, sliding his thick cock deeper inside of her ass. His hips were slamming wildly into her rear and it was difficult to keep Ellie still so she was not bucked off the bed. Ellie, baby, I am getting so close. Keep moaning for me. Im going to fill up your sexy ass, Ellie. Oh, God. I am getting close.
It hurt when Ziva left Tony without saying anything. It hurt even worse when Ziva turned down the chance to move in with him. Tony did have a nice backyard though. It was a nice house and he was a little upset that Ziva would turn it down. It made him wonder if she did truly love him at all. If she did, why would she not move in with him? She finally addressed the next part of his question about starting their relationship and Tony let her talk with everything she needed to say. Dont worry about other partners, Ziva. I know you think I am driven by the need to have sex with as many women as I can. Thats not true. I will not bring a date back to my place if you both were there. I havent even had a partner since you left, Ziva. I realized that no matter how hard I looked, I would never find the perfect woman because I already found her and I already knew who she is.
Tony had a less than ideal track record with women from Jeanne Benoit to E.J. Barrett and many, many others he tried to date during his time at NCIS. She asked if he loved her and the male cupped her face with one hand. I do, Ziva. I didnt realize it until you were gone. I knew that I couldnt live without you. Letting you go was impossible. I do love you, Ziva. Even if you hurt me, I still love you.

Ellie was unable to stop moaning as Derek fisted her. Each time he added a finger inside of her, it caused her to spread her legs even wider for him and encourage him to keep going. As soon as the last of his fingers entered her, she paused for a few moments to adjust to the feeling of being so full. As his hand moved in and out of her, pulling cries and moans from her, she felt his other hand massaging her ass, and bucked back against it, especially when he used that hand to spank her. "That feels good, Derek..." The blonde told him, as she let out another moan when he spanked her ass.
Each thrust from him was harder and faster, and along with him fisting her pussy, and spanking her ass, it made it difficult for her to decide on which thing she should focus on. Each time his hips slammed into her ass, she cried out for more, unable to help herself. And surprisingly, the blonde was enjoying being fisted by her man. They might have to do it more often. A grin came to her lips, as she eagerly began to move her body back and forth against his, wanting to drive Derek as crazy in love and lust as he did to her. "Harder, babe. Harder, harder.." She said, wanting a really good pounding.
"Your apartment while nice, will not hold all of comfortably. And it is not Tali-proof. So I still think that a new house is best for all of us," Ziva said softly. "I did not mean to imply that you get around.. though it used to be true.." She mumbled the last part. "I just mean that I do not want us to get in your way.." Her words trailed off as she took in the rest of what Tony had said. He cupped her face with one hand, and a smile smile came to her lips at his words. "I l-" Her words were cut off at the sound of crying coming from Tali in the bedroom. "I will get her.." She said and then went to pick up their daughter.
She carried the little girl in her arms into the living room and sat down beside Tony on the couch once more. "Tony, this is Tali.." The young woman told him, as she held their daughter close, and sang to her in Arabic as she tried to soothe the little girl. Once she had sang for a while, Ziva paused, and then glanced at Tony. "Would you like to try holding her? Tali needs to get used to her abba." After she spoke, she fell silent and waited to see what Tony wanted to do. She just really hoped that Tali did not start screaming her head off if he decided to take her into his arms.

Although they have only been at this for a short period of time, Derek found out a few things to please Ellie he did not know about before. He tried not to analyze these kinks too much as he just tried to enjoy himself as he thrust into his beautiful fianc. Moans continued falling from his lips as he kept slamming his hips into her ass. His cock rammed as deep into the blonde as possible with each movement of his hips. His fist continued circling and rub around Ellies pussy. Derek could feel her getting wetter with each passing second. Of course, that only made him feel even more aroused.
It was not longer after he felt Ellie reach her orgasm when his own climax hit. His hand had been soaked with her sweet nectar and after only a few more thrusts, the hot, sticky semen was flowing from the tip of his cock. The male breathed out her name as he filled her up to the brim, his hands squeezing her ass rather toughly. After it was over, Derek felt exhausted already and just collapsed down beside the blonde. Leaving her tied for now, he started to kiss her neck, his arms around her shoulders. Ellie, that felt so fucking good.
Ziva might have a point about his apartment not being childproof. The male thought they could just all look at a house for all three of them. There was no way in hell she was going to keep Tali from him again so if it meant moving into the same place as Ziva then so be it. He would do it and he would deal with whatever the fallout was. It might not be the smartest idea but Tony needed to see Tali. Before he could suggest that, she was running off into the room to get Tali. When the Israeli returned with their child and sat down beside him on the couch, he just watched her with a smile on his face. One look into Talis eyes and he knew for a fact that this girl was his.
There was never any room for doubt. Tony had been hoping ZIva would give Tali to him to hold. Once she did, Tony was too eager as his hands gently wrapped around Talis body. Carressing her, he had tears in his eyes again. She did not cry. Instead, she just looked at him and smiled, giggling as Tony started talking to her in a baby voice, saying how much he loved her already and that he was so happy to finally meet her.

"I should let you tie me up more often," Ellie teased breathlessly. She loved sex with Derek. He was a good man, and a good partner. In and out of bed. Time passed, and eventually he uncuffed her, and let her free. The two of them got dressed once more and then left the room to explore. Sometimes when the blonde was with her man, it was easy to forget that they
were on the job, and had to keep an eye out for anything suspicious or out of place. It was easy to get distracted from the job, sex with Derek had a way of doing that to her.
Once they had dressed once more, they left the room and walked around the establishment, taking in everything and everyone as they tried to get a feeling for it, and see if anyone stuck for all the out right reasons, or technically, all the wrong ones, given that they were looking for a killer. The young woman pushed some of her blonde hair behind her ear and made sure to stay close to Derek.
Ziva was happy to remain silent as she watched Tony and Tali together for the first time ever. The young woman was happy that their daughter didn't cry when she was carefully set in her father's waiting arms. She was enjoying this moment, as Tony played with their daughter and talked to her in a baby voice, making Tali smile and giggle playfully. It was one of the best moments of her life, and the woman was glad that she had finally managed to work up the courage to tell Tony about Tali.

Yes, you should, my love. Derek responded with a wicked grin on his face. This was easily the best sex they ever had. Sure, that did not mean he did not enjoy anything that they did before because he did. He always loved sex with Ellie. However, there was just something about having her bound, gagged, and blindfolded that was more arousing than anything he had done. As much as he would love to keep her like this all night, Derek knew that was impossible. Finally, he untied her and removed the gag before placing everything back where they belonged. Before they left, though, Derek was absolutely going to buy a few toys to take back to their hotel room.
Once out of the room and dressed, Derek brought the leash and collar with them. You know, we need to blend in here. You should probably put this on. With a grin, he placed the collar around her neck and held the leather leash in his hand. The male decided they should probably start with the owner that greeted them when they first arrived so he walked with Ellie towards one of the tables as they spied on the owner across the room to see what exactly she was up to.
This was one of the greatest moments of Tonys life. Since Ziva told him about their daughter, he wondered how he could actually react when they met. Tony was nervous up until this point. Now? He was not nervous. He was happy beyond belief and there was a huge smile on his face that would never leave. He could barely believe that this girl was his. IT did not take long before he helped his daughter fall back asleep, so once she did, Tony placed her gently back down into the crib and then walked out of the room with Ziva so they would not wake Tali up.
Unable to help himself when they walked out of the room, Tony just wrapped his arms tightly around Zivas shoulders and held her head down gently against his chest. Squeezing her tight, Tony just rested their heads against each other. He missed ZIva so much. We have a beautiful daughter, Ziva. Tony whispered, feeling all the anger and disappointment he held towards Ziva quickly fading away. It felt good to hold her again and Tony just hoped she did not mind this. They had things to deal with soon but that could wait for now all he wanted was to hold Ziva.

"I know that you definitely love the idea of putting the leash on me," Ellie teased Derek as the two of them made their way around the establishment, checking out people and seeing the kinds of things all of the club's clients were up to and keeping an eye out for anyone who could be their killer. "Don't get too carried away with your fun," The blonde teased him, unable to help herself. "While yes, we can have a bit of fun, you need to remember that that's not the main reason we're here.." She said and then whispered the words in his ear a moment later, smirking.
They continued to walk around for a bit and then met up with the owner. The two of them acted like they were a regular couple and were interested in knowing where the real fun stuff went down. They also asked the owner about her favorite things to do, and joined her at a table, sitting down and talking about different things for a little while, while continuing to check out the place and the people there.
Ziva was happy to stay quiet and watch Tony and Tali together. It was something she had wanted to have happen for a long time and it was finally happening. "I know. Tali is very beautiful, and the best thing to ever happen to me." The young woman was happy to let Tony hold her, and she was happy to be close to him after a long time that they had been apart. "I do not know what you want to happen now. You have to tell me. As we both well know I am not good at this kind of thing. I have not been in a relationship in a long time. I do not want to mess this up again."
gpt
The owner was a kind lady. She did not act like a killer but looks were deceiving. The owner questioned Derek and Ellie about their relationship and interest into BDSM. This was not part of a cover they had to develop. They could answer truthfully so Derek happily talked about meeting Ellie, their first dates, his interest in BDSM before she knew about it. It was all quite genuine and that worked well for their cause. Soon enough, Derek threw in a casual question that might help their investigation. We were nervous about this. Im sure there are plenty of people that take it too far. We were worried that might happen here in the club.
The owner assured them that while they did have troublemakers here, she kicked them out whenever possible and she ensured that it was a safe place. There could be an option that the killer was someone she kicked out they grew upset and decided to extract revenge on all the customers that go here. It would be smart to look for any military personnel that might have been booted from the club. Soon enough, the owner left them alone before Derek glanced at his fiance. How about I buy you a drink? I love getting you tipsy. Derek teased but of course it would be only one drink so they could be the opposite of impaired. Besides, it would look suspicious just sitting at the bar without a drink.
Well, neither of us have a good track record with relationships. Tony reminded Ziva. From Jeanne Benoit to EJ Barrett, Tony had not had the best of luck. He felt like things could be different with Ziva, though. When she asked him what he wanted, Tony had to think on how he could say this. The last thing he wanted was to scare Ziva away from him again so he decided to approach the topic carefully and cautiously. Thats a good question, Ziva. I have wondered that myself ever since you got back today. I dont know how you feel either so I want you to tell me, but I will be open and honest with you if you give me the same courtesy.
Pulling away from the woman, Tony walked with Ziva towards the couch so they could sit together. My feelings for you have not changed. I thought about you every day and I still feel strongly about you. I want you and Tali both in my life. I still want us to have a chance at being together, but only if I know that you wont run away and break my heart again. You did that already and Ive forgiven you, like I said, but I need to know for a fact that if we try this, you will give me your all.

Ellie was content to let Derek do most of the talking to the club owner, as she focused her attention on a few club goers in particular that had caught her eye. She wasn't sure why that was, as there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary about them. They were enjoying themselves, just like everyone else at the club. But something about them caused a prickly feeling in the back of her neck, so she just kept an eye on them. When the owner left them alone, she turned her attention back to her fianc and listened as he spoke. The blonde laughed at his words and then nodded.
"I could use a drink. On top of keeping an eye out for anything off, I'm getting eyed back by way too many men to count, and I'm definitely not a fan of that. I can also see a few couples who are pissed off that we're together. I'm assuming they're from the south and are having a conniption over our relationship. I'm sure that wherever they're from, they don't have or see many interracial relationships there. So, while you know I'll watch your back, be careful, Derek." The blonde said, as she leaned closer to speak into his ear, so that she could be heard over the music of the club.
Ziva nodded at his words. "Truer was never spoken.." She said and then made a face. "You know what I mean." The young woman fell silent as she let Tony say what he needed to say. Once she was sure that he had finished speaking, the dark haired woman wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him close. "I love you, Tony. I did not think it was possible after losing my sister. But then you made me feel things I never felt before. You made me see that there is more to life than work and fighting to stay alive. And you gave me Tali, which is the best part of my life."
"You were on my mind all the time. I dreamed about you every night and missed you more than I can ever truly express. I do not want to run away again. I just do not know how to get over being scared. Scared of letting myself love you and then losing you and Tali. That would be more than I could handle. If we do this, I promise that I will give all of myself to you. I also promise to keep being my hard headed and stubborn self, as that is what has kept Tali and I alive. If you think that you can learn to live with someone as flawed as I am, then yes, I will be with you. It is what I have wanted for so long."

The looks thrown their way were unmistakable. Despite that, Derek paid little attention to what anyone thought. However, he felt a natural desire to claim Ellie again and mark his territory from the other men. Sitting at the bar, Derek suddenly pulled Ellie to sit in his lap. One hand gripped the leash while the other hand wrapped around the blondes waist. Looking towards the bartender, Derek ordered a couple drinks. Knowing exactly which drinks Ellie preferred, Derek ordered whatever she wanted. As they waited for the drinks to arrive, Derek started peppering kisses down her neck and collarbone. Derek was thoroughly enjoying himself because there was no harm with mixing pleasure and business. This much was obvious.
What do you think so far, baby? Does anything catch your attention? See anything suspicious? Derek asked while his lips were pressed right against her ear. It just looked like he was kissing her earlobe and nipping at the flesh. In reality, he was talking about the case, wondering if Ellie had spotted anything. Meanwhile, he let that hand on her waist travel upwards so he could lightly fondle one of her breasts. His eyes were scanning the crowd now, hoping to find something useful during his search. So far, he had not seen anything suspicious but he did not think they would find anything on their first visit. This was a long-term assignment that would require many visits.
It was gloriously reinforcing when Ziva told Tony that she loved him. For a long time, Tony doubted it. How could ZIva love him if she abandoned him and kept their child from him? Sure, Ziva had her reasons but it was difficult for Tony to understand those reasons. His sweet Israeli had always struggled with emotions such as love Tony knew that so it was expected she experienced difficulty understanding or expressing the emotion properly. That was nobodys fault.
You were on my mind all the time, too. I thought about you every day as soon as I woke up. Every night, I would wish you were lying beside me on the bed. I believe that you do not want to run away again. I am scared too, honestly. This is new for me and I dont know what to do. Though we are both scared, we can be scared together. Just because we love each other and we love Tali does not mean that we will lose each other or her. Weve let that hold us back for too long. I want to be with you as well. So, does that settle it then? We will try this? No running. No hiding from each other. We will give it our all. We will be together and focus on our love and our love for our daughter. This is what I want, Ziva. Is this what you want, too?

Ellie had been finishing her first beer when she suddenly felt Derek reach out and grab one of her arms, pulling her onto his lap. She set down her beer on the bar and then watched his hand grip the leash which was around her neck, as his other hand moved to wrap around her waist. The blonde relaxed at the feel of his touch and remained silent as he ordered a few more drinks from the bartender. She chuckled as he started to kiss her neck and collarbone, squirming in his lap, as she was ticklish. "I'm loving it so far, Derek. Though I was thinking that in a little while, we'd go into one of the rooms and you'd tie me up."
"Maybe use some nipple clamps, a flogger, or a whip on me. Or any kind of toy that you'd enjoy spanking me with." A smirk was on her lips at her answer, and then she leaned forward to speak into his ear once more. "There's a couple near the door that's been eying the marine at the end of the bar. And it's not in a 'I wanna get in your pants' kind of way. They haven't done anything yet, but I have a bad feeling about them. The hair on the back of my neck is standing on end." The young woman admitted, and reached out to take one of Derek's hands into her own once more.
Ziva nodded at Tony's words. "This is what I want, too." She agreed softly. "I just worry about putting you in danger," She admitted to him. "With my father dead, many of his enemies have transferred their anger and hatred to me. You and Tali are targets. And that does not even include the enemies that I have made both back in Israel and here in the US. I want to tell Gibbs to put you and Tali in a safe house, but I know that is something you would never agree to. You are stubborn as I am." She sighed softly. "The men that tortured me are part of a terrorist cell in a large organization."
"They also killed my father and my sister. I found this out when they had captured me." She paused for a moment after speaking and then shook her head. "We should talk about something else. We should also start looking for a new place. I already have a few houses in mind. I just need to find the time to actually go and check all of them out. Maybe we should take the day off from NCIS tomorrow and spend the day together looking at houses. We can bring Tali along and I can give Tamir and Shani the day off. So it would be like a family inning. Just the three of us."
gpt
Nipple clamps and flogger. Derek could do that. After the sexual conversation ended, Ellie moved onto the job. It appeared there was a couple eyeing the Marine. Derek took a glance and found she was accurate. Nothing in their reports suggested there was a two-person team. It was possible, though. What if the woman lured the male into a room? What if something else happened? Just as Derek ordered another drink for himself and Ellie, he watched the male of the couple leave and the woman approached the Marine. She was trying to seduce him and it was appearing to work. Could this be how it was done? However, the male finally walked up to the two and the man scolded his partner and dragged her roughly off towards one of the rooms.
It appeared as a false alarm. They eyed the Marine because he was one of the lone men without anyone beside him at the bar. They just did some roleplay where he punished her for flirting with another man so that ruled out the couple. After a few more minutes just watching, Derek decided they could go back to that room now. It would look suspicious if they just sat here on the bar and did nothing. Well, babe, are you ready to go back to one of those private rooms? Derek asked with a smirk, his lips moving down her neck again.
Dont worry about putting me in danger. Youd have to be crazy if you think this was something Id let you go after alone. I will never agree to it. We will work together with Gibbs and the team and find these people. Well get through this, together. Im sorry to hear about that and we can look for a new house tomorrow. I dont think Gibbs will mind. I like the idea of us having a family day together. It is much needed. The conversation had put Tonys mind at ease. Without worrying anymore, he sighed softly and pressed a final kiss onto ZIvas head. The male was happier now and thought that everything was going to work out. No, this was not going to be easy but it sure as hell was worth it.
Looking deep into Zivas eyes, he placed both hands gently onto her face before kissing her lips. I guess we should get some rest then. In the morning, I can call into NCIS and tell Gibbs what we are doing. I know he wont mind. Gibbs was always adamant that his agents spend time with their family. Losing his own made him understand just how important family was so that was not anything Tony worried about Gibbs rejecting this idea.

Once it was clear that the couple wasn't who they were looking for, Ellie turned back to Derek, listened to what he had to say, and then smirked and nodded. "I'm ready whenever you are.." She told him. A moment later, the blonde picked up her remaining beers, downed them both, and then moved to get up from her stool. She held out a hand to him and within moments, the two of them left the bar area and headed back to the rooms to have some fun with each other. A grin was on her lips as he led her from the bar and right to the back room by tugging on her leash.
"That is easier said, Tony.." Ziva told him. She fell silent after speaking and listened to what he had to say, and nodded at him when he said that they would continue to work with Gibbs and the team. A smile came to her lips when he agreed that they could take the day off from NCIS tomorrow and start looking for a house for the three of them. She wrapped her arms around his waist when he kissed her forehead. When he placed his hands on her face and then kissed her lips, she kissed him back, the action gentle as she relaxed in his arms. "I have one thing that I must say."
"It concerns Gibs.." She explained, as they remained locked together. "I know that you and Gibbs are close, and I want us to invite him over often, once we get our new place. I do not like him being alone so much. So, I was thinking that you might invite him over for the soccerball games that play every Sunday. We would all have lunch together, and then you and Gibbs will watch the game, and Tali and I turn on a movie for her, or we will take a nap together. Does that sound okay?"
gpt
Upon entering the room, Derek detached the leash from Ellies collar. However, he left the collar around her neck and focused his attention onto the blonde. Keeping their eyes locked together, the male placed a gently hand onto her face. Okay, baby. Im going to sit here on the edge of the bed. I want you to dance for me. I want you to give me a show. Strip down until youre wearing nothing other than your collar. After giving the order, Derek turned to grab one of the clamps and a flogger. Next, Derek sat down onto the bed and waited while waiting for Ellie to start the fun for him. Derek was already getting turned on.
Even though everything was much easier said than done, Tony had confidence in himself and in Ziva. If they wanted this to work badly enough, they would find a way. He leaned into Ziva when she wrapped her arms around him. They were both relaxed when Ziva said there was something she needed to say. Gibbs and Tony were close but Tony did not know how much he would like doing this. Gibbs was just like a second father to Tony. He was more than just the boss. Thinking about everything, he figured this was a decent idea so he slowly ran his hand through her long hair.
I think youre right. They are football games, by the way. Soccer is what every other country calls football. I can ask Gibbs but I dont know if hell want that. You know Gibbs likes to do his ownt thing all the time. We can ask and see, though. Lets just take everything one step at a time. I think finding a place for us to live is the best option right now. After that, I know everything will fall into place for sure.

Ellie stood there and waited as Derek removed the leash from the collar around her neck. Once that was done and he placed a hand on her face, she smiled at him. The blonde nodded at his words a few moments later, and waited until he had sat down on the bed, before she moved a few feet away and toed off her shoes. After that, the young woman lifted her arms into the air and removed her shirt slowly and sexily, showing off her breasts, and dropped it down onto the bed beside him. From there, her hands worked the clasps of her bra until they came loose, and she removed that bit of clothing, too.
With her shirt, shoes, and bra now discarded, she walked over to him, straddled his lap and ground her body against his, as she slipped a hand behind his head and then pushed it into his cleavage. A smirk was on her lips as she kept his head there, and then shifted on his lap, and removed her pants and set them down as well. Then she quickly shimmered out of her panties. Within just a few moments, she sat on his lap in just her collar, as he had told her to be. "What do you think, handsome?" The blonde asked as she finally released her grip on his head, so that he could pull his head from her cleavage.
Ziva relaxed into Tony's touch as he ran his hand through her hair. "I agree that we should find a place of our own before we say anything to Gibbs. He can be pretty stubborn when he wants to be. But I feel like I should tell you, I am not giving down on this. Gibbs is family, and though we both have not had the best examples, I know that I will never give up on us, Tali, or the rest of our family, our team. We should also invite McGee, Abby, Ducky, Ellie and the new agent, Morgan over. We need to get the know the latter two, better. And we both know that McGee will have questions."
Once she had finished speaking, the young woman got up from the couch and got to her feet. She held out a hand for Tony and then quickly pulled him to his feet as well. "I changed my mind. Instead of both of us sleeping on the couch, we should use the bed. It will be more comfortable, and we will also be closer to Tali if she wakes up crying in the middle of the night again." A few moments later, the two of them entered the bedroom once more, and Ziva moved to lie down in the bed, and lifted the blankets and waited for Tony to join her. She hoped that she was not assuming too much.

Since she was working slowly, Ellie provided Derek with a nice view of her body. It was almost teasing to the young man. After she removed the shirt, bra, and shoes from her body, Derek felt the blonde straddle his lap. Even if she had not pushed his head against her breasts, that was exactly where Derek was going. While she worked on removing her pants and panties, Derek took his time with kissing each inch of both breasts. After the kisses, he sucked lightly over each nipple before he pulled back and looked at his gorgeous fianc. Smiling at her, Derek decided to kiss her lips before answering, just wanting to feel those soft, full lips against his own.
After pulling back from the kiss, Derek just winked at Ellie. I think you are the sexiest woman alive, Eleanor. I often wonder how I get to keep you all to myself. Its almost unfair. Winking, he suddenly pulled Ellie down so she was sitting across his lap with her ass in the air. In this position, he had a perfect angle to spank her over his knee and that was exactly what Derek intended to do. Someones been a bad girl, though. Derek teased before raising his hand into the air and connecting his palm onto Ellies ass. After a spank to each cheek, he sent another to each mound of flesh with a bit more power. Mmm, I bet youre getting so wet from this, baby. I know you love being spanked.
It made Tony smile when Ziva relaxed into his touch. After all this time, she did not shy away from him. It was beautiful to see and feel. The male felt relieved that Ziva agreed they should find their own place. Gibbs was family to them just as the rest of the team was. I agree with you, Ziva. Im not saying we keep everyone out of the loop. I just think that its extremely important that we iron out things together, first. Id rather us have a good idea of where this is going before we talk to anyone else. This is about us, first. Tony reminded her before kissing her head. When she stood, Tony took her hand and joined the woman. When she suggested they use the bed, Tony nodded as he figured this was happening.
When they reached the bed, Tony saw Ziva slip in first. To get comfortable, Tony just slipped out of his shoes and quickly joined Ziva. One might think this was moving too fast. Even if they were not doing anything heavy tonight, it had been a long time since they saw each other. Why were they sleeping in the same bed and cuddling like nothing happened? Well, something did happen but Tony felt his strong connection to ZIva outweighed everything else. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around her body and squeezed her tight. Thank you so much.

Ellie moaned as Derek kissed both of her breasts. When he moved onto sucking the skin over each of her nipples, it caused her to ground her body into his, loving the way his lips and then mouth felt on her soft skin. As his lips moved off her skin and their lips joined together, she was happy to kiss him back, flicking her tongue against his as they kissed and tasted each other. When he pulled back and spoke, she smiled at him and his words. His wink caused her to smirk this time, as she answered him. "You were just in the right place at the right time, baby."
Each time Derek brought one of his hands down and spanked her ass, it made her grind her body into his some more, as her moans got louder and she enjoyed their time together. As his slaps on her ass got more forceful, she nodded at his words. "I always get wet for you, love. You know how to drive me crazy and do so all the time." She brought their lips together again, loving kissing him as their bodies ground against each other. "If we didn't have to worry about money or work, I'd never let you out of my sight or my grasp.." The blonde told him and then smirked.
Ziva turned in Tony's arms to face him. "What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you for not getting your lawyer involved in all of this. I screwed up, and you have been good enough to forgive me." She paused for a moment and then moved out of his arms and got to her feet once more. The young woman crossed the room to the bathroom, turned on the light and then said, "You need to see this. I do not want to keep things from you anymore, so you should know what you are getting into before things go any further between the two of us."
She walked into the bathroom and removed her long sleeve shirt, along with her pants and stood there in just her bra and panties. Her body was literally covered in burn marks, bruises,
stab marks and the like. "My face was not as bad, as the man that did this mainly enjoyed inflicting pain below the neck, so I was lucky that my face fully cleared up. I can not say the
same for the rest of my body. If this scares you off, you need to tell me now before I let myself care too much for you again." Ziva fell silent as she let him see her wrecked body.

After Derek pulled back from the kiss, the agent found a pair of nipple clamps and handcuffs for his fiance. Derek began by cuffing Ellies hands together. Instead of cuffing her wrists behind her back this time, Derek focused on cuffing her hands in front this time. Offering her a smile, Derek placed a quick kiss on her lips before moving further. Next, he flashed the pair of nipple clamps from the drawer of toys. Ive always thought about having these on your nipples. I cant wait to see how they look. He purred lowly before attaching the clamp to each of her nipples. The chain hung downwards, brushing against her belly.
It was so arousing to Derek. His hands reached around and cupped her breasts even with those gorgeous tits clamped already. Leaning down, he started another kiss and massaged her breasts firmly, digging his fingers into the flesh. I love you so much baby. Are you ready for me to spank your sexy ass? I might spank your tits, too. Im going to make you scream nice and loud for me. I bet I can get you wet like this, too.
Even though Ziva made the mistakes she did, Tony could not hold her completely accountable. Perhaps he could have done these things Ziva talked about. It was likely that he could have won that case as well if he tried. However, Tony did not want that. He did not want to get some legal team involved. He just wanted his daughter. He wanted Ziva, too. This way, he got both. Everyone made mistakes. Tony had made many of them in his life. There was no reason to keep Ziva out of little Talis life. It would have been unfair, unjust, and wrong. When Ziva went to the bathroom and turned on the light, he had no idea what she was talking about. What did he need to see? Waiting patiently, he heard her drop her clothing down.
When she talked about the scars on her body, Tony stood up immediately. He found it unfortunately that she thought this might make him think different of her. That was not the case. Dont worry, Ziva. This does not change anything. Im so sorry this happened to you. I want to help you heal through this. He murmured before leaning down to start kissing a few of those scars, showing that this did not push him away.

Ellie remained where she was and smirked as she watched Derek pull out some handcuffs and nipple clamps. The blonde knew that the two of them were about to have some real fun now. She stayed silent and let him cuff her wrists in front of her body, and then was happy to kiss him back when he kissed her lips. A chuckle left her lips when her fianc admitted that he had been thinking about using the nipple clamps on her for a while. Several moans of pleasure left her lips once he had slipped the nipple clamps onto her body. "Love it. That feels great, baby."
She felt the chain from the clamps brushing against her skin and grinned. The young woman glanced at Derek and knew that having her wrists cuffed and the nipple clamps on was driving him crazy. It was driving her crazy, too. Her moans got even louder once he cupped her breasts and played with them for several moments. His words had her eagerly nodding her head, as she wanted him to do all of it to her. When he began to kiss and massage her breasts, she cupped his head against her breasts enjoying the feeling. "Spank me all over, love."
The blonde leaned in close to whisper in her man's ear. "My ass, my tits, my pussy. I want you to tease me and spank me and drive both of us crazy as you make me scream the place down. We'll have to get a flogger so you can torture me with it..." Ellie said and smirked at him.
Ziva swallowed a few times as she tried to force back the tears that fought to fall. Whenever she thought that she couldn't love him more than she already did, he proved her wrong. His
words had her grabbing his hands in a grip tight enough to break bones, as she continued to fight against the tears. As soon as he leaned down and started to press kisses against her
skin, the dam broke and the tears came flooding from her eyes and down her cheeks. "You are helping by being here.." She said the words softly and they were completely true.
gpt
Gladly, Derek took the flogger and went to work. The first thing he did was walk behind his fianc. Before spanking her, Derek admired her ass, a grin playing on his lips. Did I ever comment about how fucking hot your ass is, Ellie? He asked, a wicked grin spread on his face still. They had done anal a handful of times and seeing her ass now while she was in such a vulnerable position drove the desire to explore with it again soon powerful within his mind. Until then, just using the flogger on her ass was good enough and still pleasurable all the same for the man.
Quickly, Derek snapped the black device over Ellies ass, making sure equal amounts of the flogger caught her bare skin. The sound of it hitting her backside caused a moan to leave his lips. Then, Derek spanked her with it again, and then again. Yeah, he would definitely need to buy one of these for them to use at home. The redness on her ass was already showing which could only turn the male on even more. After ensuring each cheek was equally spanked, he walked back in front of her. Okay, baby. How about you spread your legs open for me now? Its time to whip that pussy of yours.
This proved that Ziva was different. Why? Because the old Ziva would never let this emotion show in front of Tony, or anyone for that matter. It appeared that she had been holding these things inside for so long that they were now just overflowing. Thanks to Tony, he provided a safe spot for her to vent and talk about her feelings. That meant the world to Tony. When the water works began flowing, Tony kepy his arms tight around the woman. He wanted her to know that it was okay to cry and talk about her feelings. It even made him tear up a bit, thinking about the horrible things she had gone through. You will never be alone again, Ziva. Im never going to let anything bad happen to you again. He whispered into her ear, hoping she understood how genuine he was being.
human
Ellie laughed softly as she knew that he was admiring her ass for a little while before her did anything to her. Then, when she knew that he was ready to start, she wiggled and moaned
each time Derek spanked her with the flogger on her ass. The blonde loved the little sparks of pain that she felt each time he spanked her, and wanted to make sure that he continued
to do that as it felt so good. His words had her chuckling and she shook her head, because even though they had been together for a while, no, he had not yet remarked on her ass.
"You're making me crazy, Derek." She admitted as he continued. The sound of him moaning had her smirking, and knew that she wasn't the only one who was enjoying what was currently happening between the two of them. When he stopped paddling her and walked in front of her a few moments later and told her to spread her legs, the young woman wasted no time and eagerly did so. They both knew she had a pain fetish, and now they could finally have fun and explore it, together. A deep moan of pleasure left her lips when he finally brought the flogger against her pussy.
Ziva quickly wiped her eyes and cleared her throat a few times to try and stop the waterworks from continuing. "Sorry, Tony. You do not want to see, hear, or deal with this kind of thing.
It is not attractive..." Her words trailed off when he began to speak, so she remained silent and listened to what he had to say. And when he spoke, his words caused more tears to fall
faster from her eyes. "Thank you, Tony. You do not know how much it means to me, that you still love me, and are at my side." Her hands held onto him tightly as she tried to pull herself together.
gpt
Derek swore that he could see Ellies pussy dripping wet after it had been flogged. In this moment, he was understanding the extent she had for a pain fetish. No, he obviously did not intend to harm her or break bones, but he could push boundaries a little further. Next time they have sex, he could thrust a little harder. Smirking at the blonde, he whipped the flogger over her pussy again and again. Sometimes, he aimed for her clitoris, ensuring the fat part of the flogger contacted the fleshy mound. Other times, he aimed for her vagina, ensuring the whip contacted directly onto the pink skin. Stopping after a few spankings, he walked behind Ellie once more.
This time, he had something different in mind. His foot fetish had recently become known. What if he used the whip over the soles of her feet? It was a thing that Derek had seen before and while he had not been into it, the combination of this moment combined with knowing Ellies thing for pain made this perfect. With a wide smirk on his face, Derek cracked the flogger over her feet as well a couple times, finding out he enjoyed it more than he thought he would. Lets see, baby. Where should I take you this time? Are you up for me taking your ass?
I will always love you. Everyone told me that I should move on and no longer hold myself back. I couldnt, though. No woman would ever attract me because it had to be you. The things we shared were so powerful and meaningful. I didnt care if I was alone forever. Id rather be alone than without you. Please know that I mean it. You never have to worry about this fire dying out. Now, less talking and more cuddling and hugs, yes? Smiling, Tony pulled ZIva into his arms and hugged her tight. Words could help heal these wounds but hugs, kisses, and cuddles should help even more. So, Tony grew silent and let this hug tell a thousand stories to Ziva, hoping she could sense how genuine he was in this moment.
human
Ellie couldn't stop the moans that left her lips as Derek continued to spank her with the flogger. Each time it slammed against her pussy, it caused her to wiggle and moan in pleasure, as
she begged him for more, and for him to spank her with it even harder. A groan of displeasure left her when stopped a few minutes later, and walked behind her. "Baby. Don't stop. Please." The words came out as a needy whine, and she writhed and begged for more. "Spank me. Spank my pussy. Been a bad girl, and need to be punished. Only you can punish me like I need."
His next actions caused her to jump. Not in pain or alarm, but more in surprise when he brought the flogger down over her feet a few times. First, as he played with one foot and spanked it, and then he gave time to the other foot and spanked it. One look at his crotch, and she could tell that Derek was enjoying this just as much as she was enjoying it, if not more. The blonde was glad to know that her man enjoyed this, and she hoped they would continue to do this at home, after this case was solved. She started to moan again, each time the flogger hit her feet.
Ziva smiled as she listened to Tony speak. She felt her heart squeeze in her chest at his words, and she knew that she felt the same way about him. As much as she had tried to move, tried to get on with her life without him, there was no way she could do that. They loved each other and belonged together. Nothing else and no type of other life would ever do. A smile came to her lips when he finished speaking and mentioned cuddling. "I would like that, Tony.." The young woman said softly and she happily wrapped her arms around him and held him close to her.
"I know that we just agreed no talking, but I need to say this. When I am with you, I am home. It feels like everything is right in my world. Even though you can frustrate me more than anyone I ever met, it is only because I love you so much and give you that power over me." She fell silent once more after speaking, and just rested her head against his chest. "Home,"
The young woman mouthed the word and knew that for the first time in her life it was true. She was with Tony, and he was her home. The knowledge of that settled inside of her and gave
her a warm feeling.
gpt
How else could Derek punish Ellie other than using the flogger and using the nipple clamps? An idea was given to Derek of preventing the blonde of reaching an orgasm. He needed to find that peak of pleasure but not allow his fiance to topple over. With a grin, he climbed onto the bed beside her and put both hands to use. His right hand reached in between Ellies legs. His index finger and middle finger started to rub circles on her clitoris, pressing his fingers firmly into the throbbing, sensitive flesh to start simulating her. While doing that, he also leaned down to kiss her neck, attacking those sweet spots again.
His other hand still held onto the flogger and he began putting it to good use. It started with whips over her ass and then moved back down to her feet. Taking into account the multiple sources of pleasure for Ellie, Derek stopped rubbing her pussy a few seconds later right when she was teetering on the edge. Knowing where and when she would cum from their extensive experience together, Derek found it easy to pinpoint the time to stop. When he stopped, the male smirked and connected their lips one more time, sliding his tongue into her mouth as she no longer had that stimulation.
They must have shared strong feelings, then. Tony had gone through life unable to get over Ziva while thinking she must have skipped over him and started anew. Clearly, he was wrong. Tony was satisfied with the result. Even if they both spent the last few years in pain and suffering from missing one another, Tony was glad they were back together. If that pain and turmoil was necessary to get Ziva again and meet his daughter, then Tony would go through that pain he felt a million times to keep them now. His eyes opened after Ziva began talking again, listening to her every word, soaking it in.
I am glad you think this is home. I agree that home is wherever you and our daughter are. It does feel like everything is right now. It made his heart melt when she placed her head on his chest and said that word. Good night, Ziva. I love you. After that, he pressed one more kiss onto the top of her head, nuzzling his nose against her cheek before closing his eyes once more, slowly drifting off to sleep with the woman in his arms.
human
Ellie moaned loudly as she felt one of Derek's hands move between her legs and start to rub circles on her clit. She loved the feeling of his fingers working her body, and she enjoyed the feeling of his lips on her
neck as he kissed the skin there. When he added the flogger smacking her, it caused the blonde to jump and then moan in pleasure. The young woman let out a groan of displeasure as he stopped rubbing her
right before she was about to come. "You're evil, Derek Morgan.." The blonde complained, right before he kissed her lips hungrily. As soon as he slid his tongue into her mouth, she happily kissed him back.
Ziva relaxed into Tony's side. She wasn't sure how long they slept for, but eventually there was the sound of Tali crying, and so the young woman forced her eyes open and reluctantly moved away from Tony
and got up to go and check on their daughter. A few minutes later, she had their baby girl in her arms and walked over to the rocking chair, sat down and started to sing to the baby in israeli. When singing
didn't work after a while, she lifted a hand and felt Tali's forehead. A frown came to her lips as she carefully stood up with her daughter in her arms. "Tony? Can you get some clothes for me?" She asked him.
"Tali's running a fever and I think we should take her to a doctor."
gpt
Having enjoyed the torture of his sweet fianc, Derek finally decided to give Ellie what she wanted. The blonde looked so fucking hot and irresistible, so Derek finally caved in. Before doing that, however, he realized there was one more piece to add. Though she already looked perfect in the handcuffs and nipple clamps, he felt it was necessary to place another ball gag in between her pretty lips. So, Derek reached over to grab the same smaller, pink ball gag and quickly placed it into her mouth. Now, I think youre finally ready, baby. He kissed her neck again and pushed the blonde onto her hands and knees.
Crawling behind her and sitting up on his knees, Derek began by teasing her pussy entrance with the tip of his cock. Then, the male slowly slammed inside of her tight walls, tilting his head to the side once he entered. Oh, fuck. Youre so good, baby. So tight. Oh, God Derek breathed out, his hands tangling in her hair, pulling on the locks as he began to slam into her again and again, filling her up with his girth.
Tony slept well until Tali began crying. Feeling the bed shift, Tony knew that Ziva was getting up to check on their daughter. So, not allowing his girlfriend to move alone, Tony decided to sit up as well. He yawned to himself before joining the woman, entering the room. He watched as Ziva took care of their daughter by holding her and singing to her. He just sat against the door and listened to how beautiful her voice was. When nothing worked, Tony felt worried when Ziva mentioned a fever.
Though Tony was not exactly inclined about childrens health, he would have to learn, but he knew that a fever meant nothing good. So, he felt her head and agreed. Within mere minutes, Tony changed into something else before providing Ziva with something as well. Then, Tony held Tali until she could dress. Where do you take her? Or should we just take her to the ER?
human
Ellie couldn't help but slam her body back against Derek's as he rammed his cock inside of her. The action caused her to moan out loudly as he hammered away at her and made the blonde feel amazing. She loved it when he pulled on her hair, which yanked her body harshly against his. The gag that was on her lips once more, muffled the sounds that she made, but that was okay. The young woman knew that her man liked the sounds she made behind the gag. She knew that he found her moans and screams of pleasure to be hot, as they were muffled.
It didn't take Ziva long to get dressed as she didn't get fully dressed, not wanting to waste a lot of time. She simply pulled a jacket on over her night shirt and zipped it, then slipped on some pants and shoes, not caring that she wasn't wearing a real shirt or bra. The jacket she wore wa to hide that fact. Answering Tony's question she said, "We'll take her to the ER, and then do whatever they suggest from there." Several minutes later, they got into the car and she worked on trying to keep Tali calm as he drove them to the ER. She sang softly, and spoke softly to their daughter.
gpt
That was all it took. Ellies moaning, struggling, and body took Derek over the edge. The mans entire cock throbbed and pulsated inside of Ellie before the tip released, pumping his sticky semen exploded inside of the blonde. After filling her up, Derek started kissing her neck. If she had not reached an orgasm yet, Derek placed his hand in between her legs, finding her clit. Then, Derek started rubbing on the girls mound. His two fingers were pressed firmly down as his other hand remained free, tugging on the blondes hair before slapping her ass violently. The male wanted to ensure that Ellie had an orgasm just like he did.
During the next few minutes, Tony dressed himself immediately. Jumping into the drivers seat, the male drove faster than the speed limit but he drove safely. The last thing he needed was endangering himself, Tali, and Ziva. At the same time, the NCIS agent had no medical training. Hypothesizing about the etiology of Talis symptoms was dangerous for someone without training. At the same time, it was urgent. Tony wanted to get his daughter help as quickly as possible. I will drop you off at the door, okay? Jump out and take her inside. I will meet you there. It would be more efficient than Tony parking with the girls and wasting more time before they reached the emergency room. At the entrance, he stopped and waited for Ziva to take Tali inside.
human
Ellie came hard once Derek slapped her ass, pulled her hair, and worked his fingers on her clit. It didn't take her long to come all over his fingers that worked her body. The blonde fell back into the bed and laid there, a grin on her lips as she tried to catch her breath. "Once we catch our breath we should go home. We need to shower, change, and have dinner.." She said, after glancing at her phone that was on the table near the bed. "It's after midnight. And while I've enjoyed having our fun here, I prefer to be home with you, just the two of us in our own bed."
Ziva didn't waste time. As soon as they got to the ER, she quickly took Tali inside and flagged down a nurse as she made her way to the front desk, to sign her daughter in. She immediately started to describe her daughter's symptoms as she held the baby girl in one arm, and used her other hand to fill out the paperwork. "Her father's parking the car and will be here any minute. I just want to help her feel better. I can't stand listening to her crying and not being able to help her." The young woman really hoped that whatever was wrong with Tali, it wasn't anything too serious.
gpt
Agreeing with Ellie, Derek moved steadily. Removing the restraints and re-ordering everything in the private club room as it was found, Derek started to redress. Soon enough, the male was ready to go. After getting dressed, he stood and waited for Ellie to do the same. When she arrived, he held her hand, walking out towards the front. Before they left, however, he could not resist the temptation of buying a few of the bondage toys there which included nipple clamps, flogger, restraints, and gags. Who could blame him? After the purchase was made, he approached the car with Ellie by his side. Now that was the most fun undercover operation Ive ever done. He chuckled, giving her a kiss on the lips before sliding into the car.
In record time, Tony parked the car and sprinted into the emergency room. Around this time, Ziva finished the paper work. Since they took emergencies over everything else, the couple was called back within the next thirty seconds. They followed one of the nurses to the special rooms where infants were treated. Ziva was directed to place her down in a small, baby hospital bed. After that, Tony pulled Ziva to the side and stood out of the way so they could let the doctors work as his arms wrapped around the woman. All they could do now was wait and trust the doctors. It was a helpless feeling, but it was the only thing they could do.
human
Ellie laughed as they got into the car. "Whoever said mixing business and pleasure would only lead to a mess, never had the kind of job we do, which allows us to have fun and enjoy our work." She fell silent a few moments later as they buckled up and started on their way home. After a few minutes, the blonde leaned forward and turned the radio on, and then reached
out to take Derek's free hand that wasn't on the wheel, and hold it with hers, squeezing it firmly. "I love you, Derek." She said softly, and then squeezed his hand that was in hers once
more.
Ziva hated feeling helpless as she and Tony watched the doctor's and nurses help their daughter. She knew that Tali was probably terrified and wished that there was something she could do to make her little girl feel better. She hugged Tony tightly, her worry spiking the longer the doctor's took care of Tali and didn't tell them what was wrong with her. "What if it ends up being something serious? That would mean I wasn't doing a good job taking care of our daughter, and I let something happen to her." Real fear was in her eyes as she spoke, unable to take her eyes off Tali. Even as she gripped Tony tightly.
gpt
I love you, too, baby. Derek responded before they pulled into their apartment. Since this case was so close to home, they did not need to stay in a shitty hotel like the team usually did when having a layover with a case. It was nice. After parking, Derek carried all bags inside, leading the way. Why dont you get the shower ready for us? Ill put our toys away and then Ill join you. Derek was quite meticulous and organized with these things. It was important to him that everything was organized and kept neatly packed where he wanted it. The male approached the bedroom and looked in the closet, finding the box where everything was located before adding to the pile.
Tony returned the tight hug, his hands calmingly stroking through Zivas hair before moving down her back. Ziva, you should stop that right now. I dont believe it will be something serious. If it is, we will deal with it. Dont think like that, though. I also didnt realize you had the cure for every illness in the world. Its not your fault. You cant shield her from viruses or anything like that. Dont even kid yourself into thinking you can. The doctors will take care of her, Ziva. Youre an amazing mother. Im sure everything will be fine. Tony reassured the woman as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.
human
Ellie smiled as they got back to their apartment. They exited the car and went inside. A smirk came to her lips as she watched him carry all the new toys he had bought, inside of their place. She nodded when he suggested that she get a shower ready for them. "Sounds like a plan. I already can't wait to feel that hot water falling over me. It'll work out the tenseness in my back." After giving Derek a peck on the lips, she went to grab some clothes for them both and then headed into the bathroom, stripped and stepped into the shower as she turned it on hot and full blast.
Ziva sighed. "I just hate not being able to help her.." The young woman's words trailed off when the doctor gave Tali some medicine, and then gently picked her up and carried her over to them. She quickly took Tali into her arms and cuddled her, nodding as she listened to the doctor as he said they needed to give her Children's Tylenol twice a day, and to monitor her fever
and just keep it down with cool washcloths and sponge baths. "Thank you," She said softly, and then quickly and quietly carried Tali out of the room after the doctor finished speaking.
The young woman carefully shifted her daughter in her arms, and got out Tali's medical card out of her wallet, to pay for the visit. Once that was done they got back into the car, Ziva buckling Tali up. "I don't have any Children's Tylenol at the hotel. Can you stop by the pharmacy and pick some up, before we head back?"
gpt
Seconds later, Derek entered the bathroom. Our toys are safely packed into the closet, ready for use. I cant wait to see you in these things. Derek commented with a chuckle before working on stripping down beside of his fianc. It was a shame every case did not involve this. Derek honestly enjoyed it, minus the other people dying, of course. Once Derek was nude, he stepped into the shower first. When the blonde was ready next, he pulled her into the shower behind him until she was right there in front. Before making a move to actually shower, he pressed a firm kiss to her lips, wanting to feel her lips one more time before he got serious about the showering.
Thankfully, nothing appeared seriously wrong with Tali according to the doctor. Tony thanked him for the assistance and helped Ziva however he could until they reached the car. When she mentioned childrens Tylenol, he drove until they reached one of the only pharmacy stores still open at this time. Tony ran inside to buy a couple bottles so they would have plenty before returning to the drivers seat. Before moving again, he let Ziva give the pill to Tali and once that was done, Tony started driving again. When they reached his place, Tony parked outside and walked back into the house with Ziva.
They reached the bedroom, placing their daughter down again for the night. After standing beside the bed and ensuring the girl fell asleep, Tony turned his attention to Ziva. Alright, are you ready to get some sleep now? He asked, gently holding onto her hands as they watched together.
human
Ellie smiled when Derek joined her a few moments later. Before long, they were under the shower and when he kissed her, she happily kissed him back as the hot water fell over them. "Do you wanna wash my body, or do you want me to wash you first?" She asked several moments later after she pulled back from the kiss and looked up into his dark, warm eyes. The blonde loved their life together. She couldn't have asked for a better partner both personally and professionally. "Derek? I feel like I don't say it enough, but you're the best thing to ever happen
to me."
Ziva smiled at Tony, once they had given Tali some medicine and their daughter had fallen asleep. "Sleep sounds amazing," She said and then squeezed his hands, before she followed him to the bed. The young woman took off her shoes and didn't bother to change back into her night clothes, she just dropped down onto the bed and curled into Tony's side. After a few moments, she reached out for her cell phone that was on the bedside table, and sent a text to Gibbs, letting him know that Tali was sick, and that she and Tony wouldn't be in today. Then she turned back to Tony. "I am too tired to argue. Let's just sleep."
gpt
Deciding that he wanted to wash Ellies body first, Derek grabbed a wash cloth and the womans body wash. After squirting an amount onto the rag, he started to soap up her body. Listening to her talk made his heart flutter. Youre the best thing that ever happened to me as well. I love you, too. I cant wait until we finally get married. Were just a couple months out now and I cant stop thinking about it. The male murmured as he stopped washing her body long enough to press a kiss onto her lips. Their relationship was everything he ever wanted and needed. The desire to call her his wife was growing stronger each day.
At the hotel, Tony and Ziva ensured Tali had everything she needed. From her bear, to blankets, and whatever other accommodations she needed before they went to bed. It was Tony that suggested they do not sleep on the couch. When he suggested that the first time, he intended on being there alone, having no idea Ziva wanted to sleep by his side so badly she would even go to the couch with him. Now that everything was squared away, Tony and Ziva went into the bedroom of the hotel, just across from Talis room they set up inside that hotel room.
Once they curled up together, Tony wrapped his arms tightly around Ziva and peppered her faces in kisses. Tomorrow, they would look for a place together. Tony would put his place up for sale. It was a hgue step to take, especially since Ziva only now returned, but it showed how much faith he had in her. She could really screw him over by leaving again after he had sold his house and went all in on the father thing with Tali and the relationship binge with Ziva. Yet, he trusted her to do the right thing.
human
Ellie smiled as Derek grabbed her body wash and a wash cloth and after mixing the two, started to rub it over her body. Soft sighs of pleasure left her lips as she enjoyed the feeling of his hands all over her body. It didn't even have to be in a sexual way. The blonde loved everything that the two of them did together. The smile on her lips widened when he talked about their upcoming marriage. "I know what you mean. 5 months seems so far away. And I still haven't decided if I'm going to hyphenate or take your last name. Luckily there's still time to figure it out."
Ziva turned in Tony's arms so that she could face him. "You and Tali have saved my life. Saved it more times than I can count. Knowing that I have people I love and need and knowing that there's people who love and need me. It is what has kept me alive. I have found myself in lots of bad situations, and every single time, the last thing on my mind was always Tali and you.
Yes, it has taken us a long time to get where we are now, but I do not regret the path it took to get us here. All that matters is that we finally made it. Good night, Tony." She said softly.
The young agent closed her eyes and placed her hands on his, as his arms were wrapped around her.

Either way, Derek was thankful that Ellie was going to hyphenate or take his last name. It was important to him that she did. That might sound like a strange thing to say. After all, Ellie has the right to do whatever she wanted. Yet, Derek just adored the idea of her taking his last name. He hoped she would not hyphenate. It felt counterproductive. He wanted Ellie Morgan, not Ellie Bishop-Morgan. Still, he was thankful she was at least doing something and not just keeping her last name as it was. Talking about it made him smile as his hands continued to roam her body. By the time Derek finished, every inch of her body had been scrubbed and washed effectively. He attacked her hair last, thoroughly enjoying the sensation of running his fingers through her hair and scrubbing the scalp while giving her a massage. Soon enough, he washed out the soap and his fianc was clean. Now it was her turn to wash him off so he exchanged the cloth to her and waited for the blonde to begin. I know youre going to look so beautiful in that wedding gown. I cant wait. He murmured, still in a lovestruck state.
It was an imperfect relationship for an imperfect family. Lets be honest Tony and the DiNozzo men, in general, were never good at being perfect or being with perfect. One could argue that the flaws in this relationship were none of his own. It was not his fault Ziva kept their child away from him. It was not his fault that Ziva disappeared on him. At the same time, Tony could have fought harder for her and played less of a hardass when it came to feelings. But, one could make himself or herself sick over thinking about the past. Tony agreed that they should just forget about what they cant change and focus on what they can. Falling asleep with Ziva in his arms for the first time was enlightening. Thankfully, Tali even slept peacefully after their scare earlier in the evening. Out of all three, Tony woke up first. Even if his Ziva looked peaceful sleeping, they had a ridiculous amount of shit to get done today with only one day off. The longer they wasted, the worse it would feel. So, he decided to gently wake her with his words and lips to the cheek while calling her name.

Ellie smiled at Derek's words and then took the towel into her own hand, which she soaped up and then began to run over his body as she washed him. "I can't wait to see you all dressed up in a suit. As much as I love seeing your butt in the tight jeans you wear, I've been wanting to get you all dressed up for me, my handsome man." She moved the towel over his body, taking her time and enjoying touching him. Once they had rinsed off, dried off, changed, and then had dinner, they both settled down in bed, curled up together, and watched a movie as they fell asleep.
Ziva yawned and forced her eyes open some time later. A small smile came to her lips when she opened her eyes and saw Tony beside her. Part of it still felt like all of this was a dream and if it was, then she didn't want to wake up. But hopefully it wasn't. After he kissed her cheek and called her name softly, the young woman kissed his lips and then pulled back and smiled. "Good morning," She said softly, and then pushed the blankets off, left the bed and went to check on Tali, who was babbling and playing with her toys. "You seem to be feeling better," She said and scooped their daughter up.
After quickly changing Tali, the young agent carried her over to Tony. "Spend some time with abba while amah gets ready for the day." The young woman smiled, kissed their daughter's cheek and then handed her over to Tony. Once Tali was safely in her father's arms, Ziva exited the room and took a quick shower and dressed. 30 minutes later she finished and took their daughter back into her arms, cuddling their baby girl close, as Tony took a turn to shower and get dressed for the day. The two of them squealed and laughed as they played together and enjoyed their time together.

Sleeping peacefully, Derek woke the next morning full of energy. Since he was awake before Ellie, he decided to cook breakfast. The food consisted of whatever her favorite morning meal and drink was with a plate for himself of eggs and bacon. After the meal had been cooked, Derek returned to the bedroom and sat a plate down beside of Ellie on the nightstand. He woke her with a kiss and a light touch on her face. When her eyes opened, he waited until she had adjusted to the state of being awake as he presented her with the breakfast in bed. For a final, romantic touch, he even placed whatever her favorite flower was beside the plate.
After waking, Tony traveled into Talis room with Ziva. After ensuring their daughter was safe and sound, he took the baby in his arms and played with her for the entire half hour while Ziva prepared for the day. Time flew by. Tony realized just how much he enjoyed being a father. It was almost like Tali knew that this was her father as she was very warm and accepting of him. It brought smiles to Tonys face like never before. This was the best thing that could have ever happened to him. Like Ziva, Tony, too, thought this was a dream. And if it was, he hoped it was something he would never wake from. Never before did he see himself in a future like this, but now, he could not see himself anywhere else.
In fact, Tony was almost reluctant to let Tali out of his arms even to shower and get dressed. It took him about half the time it took Ziva before he was ready to go for the day. Clearly, Ziva had done research about what homes or apartments they might want to look at, ones that were safe for their family. Im ready to go, Ziva. Where are we going to check out first? Do you have a list of places? He asked, hoping that he could read and learn about them before they arrive.

Ellie smiled as she was woken by the man she loved. As soon as her eyes opened, she locked eyes with him and was happy to kiss him back after he kissed her and touched her face. "Good morning, Derek.." She said softly. Her smile widened at the sight of a plate piled with her favorite blueberry pancakes, and reached out for the lily that he had placed on the side of her plate. The blonde lifted the flower to smell it and then she carefully placed it down once more. "How about we share my breakfast, handsome?" After she spoke, the young agent used her knife and fork to cut up some of the pancakes, and lifted her fork with a bite to his lips.
It was cheesy, but she liked the idea of being silly and feeding him. There was something about it that felt intimate to her. "Thank you for my wake up call, breakfast, and my beautiful flower." After she spoke and he had swallowed the bite, she leaned in close and kissed him, chuckling when she pulled back after the kiss, as she had tasted the pancakes during their kiss. "I was thinking that we might go in a little late today, and just enjoy each other's company for a while. What do you think?" The blonde asked and then began to eat her pancakes. Every other bite she'd feed to Derek, after eating a bite of her own.
Ziva smiled and handed Tali back to Tony, once he had finished showering, dressed, and joined them once more. "I have a list of two dozen places that I think we should check out. They are all houses, as I do not think it would be wise for us to rent an apartment with Tali being so little. These houses are in good and safe neighborhoods, close to schools and NCIS, have plenty of kids in the neighborhood for Tali to play with when she gets a little older, and the houses are all in good shape and for sale at decent prices. So we won't be paying an arm and a leg if we can agree on one of these houses."
"The first 2 houses are all on the same street, which is Bevins Road. There's a one bedroom, one bathroom house, but it has a tiny backyard and a small kitchen. The second one is a three bedroom, two bathroom house. It has a big backyard, a decent sized kitchen, is 5 minutes away from the Elementary school, 15 minutes away from the middle school, and 20 minutes away from the high school. Also, 10 minutes away from NCIS, and 15 minutes away from the nearest hospital." After she told him about the first two houses, she packed Tali's bag with food, toys, and clothes, and they headed for her car.
Once they had Tali buckled up safely in the backseat and playing with her toys, Ziva gave Tony the addresses to the first 2 houses. And as he drove, she filled him in on some of the other houses. "There's a four bedroom, two bathroom house, with a big kitchen, big backyard, a large garage, and a built in swimming pool." She talked about a few more of the houses, and
when they arrived in the first neighborhood, scooped Tali out of her carseat and carried their daughter into the house so they could look around.

That beautiful smile from his fianc was everything Derek needed to see for a good morning. Ellies smile made him melt. It made him feel weak in the knees. The good morning kiss was passionate and full of love. Honestly, the day did not begin right unless they shared one. For the longest time, Derek had not gone without one of her kisses to start his day. Good morning, my love. The male cooed back in response as a matching smile spread across his own lips. How could he not smile? Ellie made him the happiest man in the entire world. Just watching her reaction to breakfast in bed was everything Derek needed. Not only was it thoughtful, but he could make a mean pancake. After all, what girl didnt like having their man bring them breakfast in bed? It might be clich, but Derek enjoyed doing it for Ellie.
Id love to join you. Derek responded to the notion of sharing breakfast, so he climbed into the bed beside the blonde. Grinning as the pancake was held to his lips, Derek took a bite. Many things he did were just as cheesy and silly. It might make some people sick, but their relationship had a foundation of these things. Youre welcome, babe. And yes, we can go in later today. I dont mind that. He wanted to return the gesture, so Derek grabbed her fork as well. It turned into a feeding of each other with every other bite and it was not something Derek was complaining about. This was his favorite thing in the world.
Happily, Tony took Tali from Ziva. He found that the more he held his daughter, the more difficult it was to let her go. The immense list surprised Tony. Two dozen places? That might take more than today, but every second spent on deciding a house to live was well used. After all, they needed somewhere that was safe for Tali and somewhere they could start their lives together. If someone would have told Tony last week at this time that he would be looking for a house to live in with Ziva and their child, he would have called them crazy. Everything that happened seemed surreal and unrealistic, but it was his life and he was living in this reality. He felt no more malice, only happiness. In fact, he looked forward to checking out houses today.
It was nice to hear that the price was not too high. It was not like they had a massive budget working at NCIS. Plus, knowing they were in safe places and neighborhoods with other children made Tony relax. He would love to see Tali grow up and have tons of friends to play with around the neighborhood after school. It had been like that when he was little and he felt that many children missed those opportunities today. As she explained the houses on Bevins road, he watched her get everything packed. Tony was going over the route in his head as he knew the area quite well. It would not be difficult to find.
Before leaving, Tony practically triple checked himself to ensure everything about the carseat was correct. He knew little about it, so he had done research last night when he thought about everything he needed to know to be a parent. It would take time, but he could learn. Just having a child in the car made him even drive much slower than usual for safety measures. Arriving at the first house, Tony followed Ziva towards the house. Is it an open house? Can we just go on inside? Tony asked.

Once they had finished off the pancakes, Ellie brought everything into the kitchen and made quick work of cleaning the dishes and saving them. Then she returned to their bedroom and Derek, and laid down beside him once more. "Derek, I think we should talk about the wedding. We need to start making plans and getting things ready. The next few months are going
to fly by. I want to make sure that we invite all of our friends and family. I have a cousin in Virginia that I want to reach out to. We haven't spoken in a long time and I want to change
that."
"We need to figure out when we're having the wedding, who we want to be in our wedding parties, what kind of church or other location we want to get married in. I need to pick my
Maid of Honor, and you need to pick your Best Man. We need to make sure to invite the team, and you might consider inviting your old teammates. We need to figure out where we're
having the reception at, we need to look into getting a D.J., flowers, all of that. We still have a lot to do. We also need to make sure your mother and sisters are coming, and my mother,
too." She sighed softly.
"I might have to go to Virginia and track down my cousin. All I know is that she lives there, but not where. I tried to look her up by using the database at NCIS, but McGee said that her personal information is blocked by some Detective named LaMontagne. So, on Friday, I'll take the weekend and following week off, fly the 3 hours and 40 mins to Virginia and try to track
her down in person. We had a falling out years ago. She lost her sister and we haven't talked since. I never got to tell her how sorry I was for missing the funeral. I've been a crappy cousin and friend, but I want to change that now."
Ziva nodded. "It is an open house," She confirmed as they walked inside a few moments later. "Luckily, all of them are. I made sure of that before I considered putting them on the list of
ones we were to look at I didn't want us going in blind. This way we can check them all out and see if we like any of them." After the young woman spoke, she fell silent and they walked
into the house and started to check it out. A smile was on her lips as they walked around the house and took everything in. Tali had to be distracted a little, so she handed their daughter
her favorite stuffed bear, and the baby girl settled down once more.

After the meal, Derek followed his fiance into the kitchen. While she washed the dishes, he waited to dry the dishes and put them back where they belonged. Returning to the bedroom, Derek cuddled up beside Ellie again, his body relaxing into the mattress. Ellie suggested they talk about the wedding. She mentioned something about a cousin, a story that Derek had never heard before. Of course, baby. We can talk about whatever you want. They had almost everything figured out already. They were missing a couple minute details about the whole ceremony. The location and date had already been set. The biggest objective to complete involved wedding invitations, best man, bridesmaids, and the flowers. Well, Ive been thinking about this. I thought about asking Gibbs to be my best man. Derek had worked for NCIS for a long time, now. Gibbs was basically a father figure to him.
Derek wished his own father could be here for this, but he lost his life when Derek was young. Gibbs had played an important role in his adult life once he started working for NCIS. He owed that man so much and it only seemed right to have him as his best man. Either him or Tony were both valid choices. He was close to both men, but obviously in different ways. While Gibbs was like a father figure, Tony was basically his best friend (outside of Ellie, of course). It was not the easiest of decisions, but he could not go wrong with either selection.
Listening to Ellie suggest flying to Virginia to find her cousin was an interesting take. With his eyebrows raised, Derek gave her a hug. Youre not a terrible friend or terrible cousin. Do you want me to come with you? Derek would obviously travel with her if she wanted. All she needed to do was ask. On the other hand, it sounded like one of those things one might need to do alone, but Derek was putting it out there just to be safe.
Tony agreed with Ziva. They needed to find open houses. They needed to physically explore each option before making decisions. Walking beside Ziva, Tony could check the facial expression on the woman and figure what she thought about it. Tony kept an eye on Tali as she played with the stuffed bear. They explored the entire place and Tony thought it was great. When they finished and were walking out together, Tony glanced towards Ziva. What did you think about this place? I thought it was nice. I like the location, too. I know this is just our first house but this one is at the top of my list already. Well see what the others look like, though.

Ellie nodded when Derek asked if she wanted him to go with her. "Yes. I want you there, if you don't mind. I know that I'm going to need your support and you could also probably be a buffer between the two of us if we find her and she and I don't get along." A small chuckle left her lips and she moved away from Derek, crossed their bedroom and pulled down a box from the closet. The blonde removed a picture and held it out to him. "This is my cousin,Jenny. We used to be best friend's when we were kids. But it's been years since I've seen or spoken to her."
"I wanna change that now. Ineedto change it. I can't keep going knowing that she's out there and I don't know anything about her life. So, I need to go and find her. And I really want you to come with me. Jenny and I are both stubborn, but I know that you could knock some sense into us. I just don't know where to start. I guess that I should contact that Detective LaMontagne and see what he knows about her. Maybe he can even put me in touch with Jenny." After she spoke, the blonde hugged Derek back. "I really want you to meet her. I think you guys could be good friends."
Ziva laughed softly as they exited the house together. Tali was still in her father's arms as she played with her bear. "Is that your way of asking me to end the search and we'll just get this house?" The words were said teasingly, and as they got back into the car, she changed Tali, fed her, and then they exited the car and went into the next house. "Let's look at a few more and then make a top 5 list. From there, we'll discuss why we like those better than the others, and we'll go from there." Before long, they walked into the second house and repeated their actions of checking it out.

Derek was more than happy to travel with Ellie. If it meant helping her amend one of her relationships with a family member, then Derek approved. He watched his fiance move across the room and find some old picture. He assumed it was a picture of her cousin, but he did not anticipate knowing her. The male glanced at the picture and did a double take. Perhaps he was only seeing things. He only confirmed what he once expected when she mentioned the detectives name. Hugging Ellie back, he double checked the photo. The last thing he wanted was to tell Ellie that he knew where to find her when he had her mistaken for someone else. Yet, Derek was certain of it now. This was the Jennifer Jareau that he knew. It had to be.
Actually, babe Ive already met with her. Derek responded. Ive worked with her at the BAU. This looks like her. Jennifer Jareau. That detective you mentioned, that is her husband. They have two kids, too. Derek explained while offering a smile. I can make this process so much easier. Im still in contact with some of my old team. Let me call JJ for you and you can talk to her or I can set up to meet her and Will and the kids and you can surprise her there in person. It is up to you, Ellie.
The day was full of searching houses and ranking each house. While Tony found something attractive about every house, some were better than the others. His favorite houses were mostly the homes with the best proximity to work, school, and anything else they might need. When they returned to the hotel after the long day of searching, Tali was all but passed out asleep. She looked tired. Lets talk about them and rank them when I get back. You start writing down whatever you need and Ill put Tali in her bed. So, Tony did exactly that before returning to Ziva, joining her on the couch as he was ready to look at the notes she created.

"I still want you to come with me. I'd feel a lot better with you by my side," Ellie admitted softly. "I haven't seen Jenny---" She cut herself off. "I mean Jennifer, in years. Not since Rosaline died. And anyway, this will give you an excuse to see your old friends and teammates." A smile came to her lips when Derek explained that Jennifer was married to the Detective who had sealed her files from public record, and that they had two children. "I'm glad that she's happy, and I hope she wants to see me." She paused for a moment and then said, "Derek, will you reach out to Jennifer's husband and see if you think he thinks she'd be agreeable to seeing us? Well, to seeing me? I don't want to force my presence on her if she doesn't want to see me."
Ziva smiled as she watched Tony carry Tali to bed. And when he returned a few minutes later, she had written down the top five houses that she liked, and why. The young agent had a items in a list under each house she had listed, and handed the paper and pen over to Tony so that he could do the same. "Once we've both written down our favorites, we can compare them and any ones we have in common, we can narrow it down if there's more than one." The smile on her lips remained as she watched him write, and realized that this truly was where she was meant to be.

Squeezing Ellies hand, Derek laced their fingers together before pressing a kiss onto her lips. Of course, baby. Ill make the call immediately. Ill let him know you want to see Jenny again. Just stay right here and relax, my love. Pressing a kiss onto her lips again, Derek slipped from the bed and removed his cell phone. Will LaMontagnes phone number was still saved, so he called it immediately. After a few rings, the detective answered the phone. After some chitchat and catching up, Derek revealed that the Ellie he was marrying was in fact a cousin of JJs. Will sat down and talked to the blonde about Ellie wanting to speak with her. JJ seemed quite pleased with the idea, so Derek said that he would tell Ellie and he would text Will a time when they want to meet together. It would be like a double date.
Writing down the names of the houses, Tony realized they shared two homes in common. So, he drew lines through all the houses that were not shared. When they had the final two, Tony went over why he liked each house and why he would prefer each one. They continued to share lists and Tony was honestly happy with either selection. What do you think, Ziva? Does one stand out more to you than the other? Tony questioned inquisitively. It was a tough choice, but both had desirable locations and builds. He was somewhat leaning towards the cheaper one for obvious reasons, but it did not mean he overlooked the other already.

Ellie smiled and then squeezed Derek's hand back, happy to lace their fingers together when he started to do so. When he leaned in and kissed her, the blonde slipped her tongue into his mouth as they kissed, and pouted, though the pout quickly went away when he started to speak. They kissed once more after he spoke, and she nodded and remained silent as she listened
to him talk to her cousin's husband, Will. She could hear Will talking to someone on the other end and guessed that it was her cousin, though the other person's voice was muffled on the other end of the line.
A few minutes later, once the two men had hung up, she moved closer to Derek and kissed him once more, then pulled back. "Thank you for doing that. And thank you for agreeing to come with me. I feel better now that I know I'm not just going to walk up to some strangers. On the bright side, you'll get to see all of your friends again."
Ziva looked at the lists once more and then pointed to the cheaper house. "This one. While it's a little cheaper than the other house, it also has a bigger back yard, and I want that for Tali. I want us to put a swimming pool in for her in a few years when she's older and wants to be able to go swimming. What do you think?" She asked and then looked up from the paper and over at Tony as she waited for him to answer. A small smile was on her lips as they tried to decide which of the final two houses on their lists that they liked the best and could reasonably afford.
gpt
You dont need to thank me, baby. Im happy to set it up and go with you. After all, I would like to see these people again. We went through a lot back when I was in the BAU. And it seems like JJ is excited to meet you. Or, Jenny at least, we called her JJ. Ive never heard anyone call her Jenny until now. Derek mused, thinking it was adorable that Ellie had a name for her cousin that nobody else really used. Anyways, Will said they will be home all day tomorrow, so we can meet them at their home. How does that sound?
After explaining to her what was told to him, Derek reached down and firmly squeezed Ellies hands, pulling them against his chest as he stole another kiss from the corner of her lips. It made him happy to know that he could help make Ellie feel so good and excited about seeing her family. It also made Derek happy to see some of his old team again as he had not done the best job in keeping in contact like he wanted.
Tony agreed with Ziva on the house. Not only was it cheaper, but the backyard was huge. It could be perfect for a swimming pool. They would not have to worry about traveling too far to have fun in the Summer. Plus, it would be a cool hangout spot for Tali and her friends during the Summer as well. I think thats a great idea, honestly. I think a pool would be perfect, too. She and her friends will probably love that. I like the neighborhood, too. It is the lowest rate of crime out of everything we looked at and school is just five minutes away. This is the house that Id choose. Tony responded with a smile on his face.
human
Ellie smiled and then stood on her tiptoes and pressed a sweet kiss to his lips, before pulling back. "It sounds amazing, and I have you to thank for bringing my cousin back into my life. I can't explain how much this means to me, Derek.." She said softly, completely serious, and then let out a strangled laugh. "Damn you. You're so sweet that it's gonna make me cry. In a good way," The blonde quickly explained. The young woman wrapped her arms around his waist and then rested her head against his chest. "I'm so glad that you joined NCIS, or I might never have met you."
"And that would be horrible. I don't want to ever think about my life without you in it."
Ziva paused for a moment and then reached out and took Tony's hands into hers and physically turned him to face her. "I need to be completely honest before we do this thing. I did not tell you about Tali because I did not think you would be pleased. I know you do not want to revisit this, but I need to get everything in, so that we have nothing else between us. I hurt you by keeping Tali away from you, and I am sorry for that. I thought that I was protecting both of you, and even myself.." She admitted quietly. "I did not think you were ready to be serious and be a father."
"That was not fair to you, though it was one of the reasons why I kept Tali a secret. I did not think you would be a good influence on her. You were immature, had multiple partner's on a regular basis, and I... was afraid that you might one day realize how amazing she is and take her away.." The last part was said in a whisper and was something she hadn't told anyone.
She was good at shoving her fears down deep and burying them so that no one else knew they were there. But it was harder to hide her feelings and fears when it came to their daughter.

While hugging Ellie, Derek pressed his lips onto the blondes temple and responded, I disagree. I like to think, even if I never joined NCIS, our paths would have crossed. All I know is that I love you and I truly believe we were meant to be together forever. Whether we work together or not does not matter. We would have met. Im confident of that. Smiling, his arms pulled her tighter against his body. Derek never believed in the soulmate concept until ellie Bishop. Therefore, he did believe they would have met somehow. But I am glad this is how we met. I love working with you. I know people say couples shouldnt work at the same place, but this has been incredible. He continued hugging her, knowing how important it was to see her cousin, so he wanted to give the blonde all the support and love he could.
The conversation turned serious and Tony faced Ziva. Indeed, while he did not wish to revisit the concept, he understood this was important to Ziva. So, he tried to be a good man and listen, but it was almost sickening. He knew Ziva meant no harm, but she caused it. Saying that he was not ready to be a father was probably the single most insulting thing she had ever told him. She had no right to judge it. Indeed, it was not fair. He did not understand what she meant about him taking her away, but nonetheless, he tried to formulate a response with Ziva.
Let me be honest, I am unhappy with you because of what you did. You have no right to determine whether I am ready to be a father or not. You dont get to do that and just keep my daughter away from me. I find it hypocritical that you think I would take her away, when in reality, thats exactly what you did. Well have to work on this. I forgive you, but Ive never been hurt so badly in my life. I want us to be a happy family and I believe you when you say this wont ever happen again. But that doesnt change what did happen. If you ever pull something like that again, you know there will not be another chance, right? Dont you ever take my daughter away from me again. I am more ready for this than you could possibly fathom.

Ellie smiled as the two of them continued to hug. "You're such a romantic," She teased, and then laughed and kissed him. "It's one of my favorite things about you." The blonde was happy to snuggle in closer when her man pulled her tighter against his chest. "I'm glad that we met this way, too. This way we're with someone who understands the demands on our time that our job makes. I'm so lucky that you get me, not just about work. But that you also love me, and it doesn't hurt that you and my cousin are already good friends. Trust me, that little extra bit is a huge plus."
The blonde leaned closer and kissed his lips sweetly. Several minutes later she pulled away so that they could breathe. "Why don't we start packing, and I'll give Gibbs and Vance a call and let them know that we'll be gone for a few days?" A smile came to her lips after she said this. "I can't wait to see you interact with your best friends, especially Spencer and Penelope," She said, and laughed softly. "From what you told me Penelope's a unique and beautiful person, and I definitely can't wait to meet her. Meet all of them." A few moments later, the blonde pulled away and went to start packing.
"Tony," Ziva said softly. "I do not want to fight or argue. I can not say that I will not mess up again, because I am sure that I will. Big time. I have a feeling that it is inevitable. The only thing that I can and will promise, is that I will do whatever is takes to take care of our daughter and keep her safe. And that I will always be honest with you even if I do not want to, and even if you do not like what I have to say. I can not promise that I will not take Tali and leave if I feel the situation calls for it. If someone threatens Tali, you, or me, I will get her out of here so fast your head will spin."
"You can be angry all you like, but I will not apologize for doing what I feel is best for our daughter. If that hurts you, I am sorry for that. But I will not ever be sorry for doing anything that keeps Tali alive and safe. She is the best part of me, and I will never feel bad for doing what I feel is right protecting her. I am sure you do not like hearing that, but I will not lie about it. I love you, Tony. I have for a long time. But I also love Tali. And unlike you, she can not take care of herself or protect herself. So, my duty is always to her, first and foremost. If you can not understand that or like that, then we will have a problem."

It had been a long time since Derek saw Ellie this happy. She was a very optimistic person, but there was something extra in her smile and voice tonight. That, in turn, made Derek fell excited as well. So, watching her with a smile on his face, Derek pushed himself off the bed and started to pack. He did not bring too much. He basically took whatever he had in his go-bag during his days at the BAU. They would need the essentials but they would not need too much. Derek finally finished dressing and packing, now sitting around and waiting for Ellie to finish as well. Their conversation still made him smile widely as he could not get enough of being with Ellie.
Do you know why you two stopped talking? he finally decided to ask. Did something happen between you two? Or did you two just kinda grow apart? maybe it was not his business and she had every right to tell him that, but Derek wanted to know. He figured they just naturally grew apart as that happened sometimes without either trying to distance themselves. Derek wanted a little background, but it could not have been anything bad because both Ellie and JJ were excited to see each other again it seemed. That much made Derek happy to hear and know.
Tony scoffed. Ziva might not want to fight or argue, but how could she say something so ridiculous and not expect blowback? Are you kidding me, Ziva? Youre not sorry for keeping her away from me. Obviously, you made the wrong choice. You know damn well I will make a great father. Otherwise, you wouldnt be here. If you take her away from me again, I swear to god you will be sorry. I could march right down to the child services tomorrow if I want and tell them that you took my child away from me, did not tell me she existed, and kept her for such a long time in a dangerous place. You said there were people after you. Im sure theyd be more than happy to strip you from any custody, but Im not doing that. Youre ridiculous. You do not know everything, Ziva. Youre so full of yourself sometimes. Shes my daughter too. You do NOT get to make every decision on your own.
Now, Tony was getting pissed off. You really dont see how this was fucked up, do you? Youre so fucking blind. Ill move on from this, but you need to apologize to me first. You owe me that much. Tony knew he would have leverage too. Anyone that heard this story would obviously award Tony custody if he tried. But, again, Tony was not going to do that. If Ziva tried to leave and take Tali again, he would find her, he would search to the ends of the Earth. The entire world isnt all about you, Ziva. You should think about someone else for once in a while.

Ellie paused for a moment in the middle of packing, and turned to face him. "When Rosaline committed suicide, Sandy and my mother, and Jennifer and I had a nasty falling out. My mother and I were unable to make it to the funeral. I was in college and unable to get away. My mother was out of town at the time, and didn't find out until it was too late. When we all did finally talk, their grief did the talking, and the more we tried to get through to them, the more they pushed us away. After that, Jennifer just shut down. She went back and forth between being depressed and being angry, for several years. The more I tried to talk to her, the more she pulled away."
"Sandy was struggling to cope with losing a daughter, when Mitchell, her husband and Jennifer and Rosaline's father, died from a heart attack a year after Rosaline died. Rosaline was 17 when she died, Jennifer was 13, and I was 19. Jennifer was never the same after losing her sister and father at such a young age." The blonde sighed softly, and then continued. "I don't know if my cousin ever told you or anyone else this, but she was the one who found Rosaline. At 13 years old, Jennifer found her sister's body. Rosaline had hung herself in her bedroom. She tied a rope around a beam in the ceiling, tied some of the rope around her neck, stood on a chair, and then kicked it away."
The blonde looked away for a moment, wiped her eyes and then turned back to him. "The day that Rosaline died, she had called me and left a message for me on my answering machine. I got back from my classes early that evening and saw a missed call from my mother. I called her back and found out about Rosaline. Then I checked my answering machine. When I heard my cousin's voice, I recorded it and have held onto the copy, updating the device it's on every few years so that I can always have a copy. I haven't told Jennifer about it. Or my mother, or Sandy. I don't want to add to their pain. I've been struggling for years trying to decide what to do."
"In the message, Rosaline talked about how she was afraid to be herself. They lived in a small town, and you know how that goes. She had been depressed, and was on medication. She had spent the last 3 years of her life trying to figure herself out. She was having trouble coming to grips with being being gay. She could barely say the word lesbian, and had tried different things to change how she felt, but nothing helped. Rosaline said
that she had started seeing a therapist, tried going to church and looking for guidance, had tried to ignore her feelings, but it didn't work. She didn't want to be a lesbian, and have that cause trouble for her family."
"The town they lived in was very religious and not accepting of anyone who was gay or a lesbian. And so the only thing she felt that she could do to keep the people in their community from causing trouble, was to simply remove herself from their lives. Sandy, Mitchell, Jennifer, and my mother and I, didn't share those feelings. We loved Rosaline no matter what. And I just don't know how to tell Sandy, Jennifer and my mother about the tape. She talked about other things, but that was the reason she died and the reason my whole family fell apart. Nothing was ever the same after losing my cousin. To this day, Jennifer refuses to talk about Rosaline."
"Sandy called me one night three years ago. She had gone to visit Jennifer for a few days and they had had an argument. She had been looking through an old family photo album and came across a picture of Rosaline
and Jennifer from when they were younger. She had talked about Rosaline to someone. When Jennifer found out, she got upset. And really, that's the end of that. My cousin refuses to talk about her sister to anyone.
She always did prefer to keep her emotions close to the vest, put on a brave face and act like nothing bothered her. She did it when Rosaline and her father died. She's still doing it now. It doesn't take a profiler to see
it. Just someone who knows her."
Ziva gave him a sad smile. "I know that it is not about me, Tony. It never has been and never will be. It is about Tali. It is about you. It was once about my father and following his orders. I have come to accept these
things. I had to make many hard decisions when I decided to come back. I had to decide if I was ready to kill my father or not. And I was and I did. I had to decide if I felt you were ready to be a parent to Tali. I had
to decide if I was strong enough to face you and put my heart in your hands. My father is dead because he was a threat to you and our daughter. He wanted revenge for you killing Michael. And he wanted revenge
for when I saved Gibbs and killed Ari."
"I have the blood of my brother and father on my hands. So maybe you are right when you talk about calling child services. Maybe I am not fit to be a mother. But whatever you think about me, I am and aways will
be Tali's mother. And I have and always will, do whatever it takes to protect her, you, and our team. Even if you disagree with my methods. I am a trained killer. You know this, so I do not understand why you would expect me to be any different. Yes, I am sorry that you got hurt with all of this. However the truth is, you have no idea what is going on. So, until you are calmer, I will get out of your way." She turned around and left
the room, going to get her gun out of her bag.
Ziva returned to the living room and looked at Tony. "Tali is still asleep. I will be back in a few hours. I have something that I need to do. I have my cell phone if you or Tali need anything." After she spoke, the young woman walked out and headed for her car. A few minutes later, she drove off. A little while later, she pulled up at the gun range and from there spent the next two hours there, shooting targets as tears silently fell from
her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Everything was a mess and she had no idea how to fix things.

Rosaline. It was not a name often mentioned, but Derek heard JJ mention it before. She never went in-depth about her sisters suicide, but only covered it briefly. It always made him feel sorry for JJ and her family. If he could have prevented it, he would. JJ was young when it happened. No girl should have to deal with her sister committing suicide like that. Either way, Derek knew it rattled JJ to the bone. Around the team, she could not even talk about it without nearly collapsing emotionally. Derek could somewhat understand. Although he has never been around anyone that committed suicide in his family or friends, he could not imagine what she was going through. It seemed that it tore Ellie and JJ apart. Death did that sometimes everyone coped differently and it was a very emotional time.
The male had also known about her fathers death. Yes, she told the team about it a few years after she joined. She had trouble talking about it, but every day of the year on the anniversary of either death, she got really sad and it was hurting everyone to watch her suffer. Eventually, she told us what was plaguing her mind. That was so horrible and Im sorry that you had to go through that, Ellie. It must have been tough on Ellie as well. She lost two cousins: one to death, another to the sadness and anger that overcame her when her sister died. Derek could see why she wanted to see JJ again so badly.
Clearly, the situation impacted Ellie as well, almost bringing her to tears. He could not imagine how it felt, especially to JJ. She had never divulged the information that she had been the one to find Rosaline in the state she was in. That was definitely a lifetime scar and it made him feel even worse, thinking about the situation. It surprised him to learn more information, that Rosaline was a lesbian and she struggled to accept it and feared what her friends and family would think. Derek could not imagine being so confused and worried about oneself to the point where he would fear what others thought about him enough to the point where he would take his own life. It must have been a miserable place and it was a terrible burden for anyone to carry through life.
The images in Dereks mind were disturbing. Listening to Ellie talk made him finally wrap his arms tightly around her. Obviously, this was business with her own family and he did not have a right to make his own suggestions about how she should handle the situation, but he doubted Ellie would tell him that she was confused about what to do if she did not expect him to listen and help her out. So, stroking his hands through her hair, Derek started talking. Honestly, this is a touchy subject. I know you know this already. In my opinion, I do think you need to tell Rosalines family about the tape. Let them listen to it. They probably have no idea why Rosaline took her life, and they cannot rest because of it. Perhaps having answers would bring closure. It does not sound like anyone had any closure, honestly. Perhaps you get JJ to open up about her sister. Building up those emotions is not good for anyone. I talked to Will many times before, especially when JJ hit her low points. He told me that she had told him everything, but he never went into any detail out of respect for her. So it is good that she can talk to someone, but maybe she needs to talk with those that knew Rosaline. Im not an expert on grief or anything, but remembering her life and trying to make sense of it would be good for everyone. Of course, it is entirely up to you. I wont push one way or the other. Thats what I think is best. I will support you either way. I will love you and keep you in my arms no matter what. Clearly, Ellie had a need for his support and love, so he was going to offer it. Even if she decided against what he thought was best, he would not argue with her. He would just support her and keep her happy. That was all Derek wanted after all. At least she was going to talk with JJ. That was important in mending their relationship together.
Forgive and forget. It should have been simple. It was one of the golden rules of human interaction. Yet, Tony was having trouble with it. All he wanted was a sincere apology from Ziva about what happened. Instead, she offered him nothing. She might have said that she was sorry, but it did not feel like she meant it. She always had to be the right one, she knew everything and nobody could tell her different. She was so stubborn. It sounded like Ziva was still trying to make out like he was the bad guy here. Tony had done literally nothing wrong. Just because Ziva thought he would not be a good father, that he was not ready for a family, she took the child away from him. How selfish was that? Ziva said it was not about her, but it was. If she truly wanted what was best for Tali, then she would have let her meet her father. It was such bullshit. Yet, Ziva stormed out like she was the one that was being hurt here. It was so infuriating. At that point, Tony was not sure this was going to work out. Again, she could not promise him that she would threaten to leave and take Tali with her again.
He tried to push the thoughts away. It did not work well, though. He could not sleep. He tried to get some rest, but it was not working. In the end, he just stayed away and stayed on the couch, turning the TV on lowly so he did not wake Tali. He would likely be awake when Ziva returned, if she did. Tony half-wondered if she was going to run away again. It seemed like that was what Ziva was good at when things got tough. She just ran away and pretended like that would solve everything. Tony almost regretted giving her a chance. Maybe it was in his best interest to try and get custody. Ziva was so unstable, it seemed. He did not want Tali being hurt. That might be a conversation they would have in the morning. He tried to brush it off, not wanting to deal with this shit anymore tonight. Either way, Tony finally fell asleep after another hour or two, just sitting on the couch and drifting away into a restless sleep to the point where he might as well have stayed awake.

Ellie nodded as she listened to Derek speak and when he fished, she spoke softly. "It's never been about keeping this from JJ and Sandy. It's about not wanting to make their pain worse. You're right with everything that you've said. This could help them work through their grief. I'm just afraid of losing them again. JJ and I haven't spoken or seen each other in years, and
now we're finally trying to be a family again. What if this blows up in my face?" She moved away from him, and then got up after speaking. The blonde crossed the room and walked into
the closet.
She pulled several things out of an old purse of hers. In her hands was now an old hand held tape recorder, a CD, a flash-drive and a floppy disk. "On all of these devices, I have my cousin's message saved. Like I said, I have constantly updated the device it was stored on all these years. My old answering machine is stored in a box on the top shelf. I know you once asked why I keep the answering machine, and I never answered you. This is why." Once she spoke, she packed all of the items into the bag with her clothes that they were taking to see JJ and her family.
When everything was packed, she walked back over to Derek and hugged him. "I love you, and thank you for trying to comfort me."
Ziva returned 2 1/2 hours later, after spending time at the shooting range, where she had a small breakdown and then forced herself to pull herself back together. Now wasn't the time to deal with pain and regret. Instead, it was time to pay for her sins and she had many of them. The young woman was silent as she picked the lock and then let herself back inside. She closed and locked the door once more without a single sound, put her gun away, covered a sleeping Tony with a blanket, checked on a still sleeping Tali, and then sighed softly as she walked into the bathroom and left the door open a crack.
From there, she removed her shoes, and then slowly washed her face. The young woman stared into the mirror silently as she looked at the person she was now. It was much different from the woman she had hoped to be, when she was a kid growing up. But the loss of her siblings, and so much more had hardened her. And she wasn't good at apologizing or asking anyone for forgiveness. The truth was, she was used to doing what needed to be done, no matter if it was wrong or right. And then something her father had told her as a teenager rang in her ears.
Her father used to say that sorry was bullshit. But she had never asked him what to do when you were actually sorry. Ziva sighed softly, reached out for the towel and dried her face a few moments later. Then she grabbed her shoes and carried them into the bedroom. She crossed the room and pulled out some papers and a pen and spent the next two hours filling out the paperwork, and adding some extra information to it. Once that was done, she carried the papers out to the living room and set them down on the coffee table so that they would be the
first thing Tony saw when he woke up.
One set of papers acknowledged the fact that Tony was Tali's father and said that in the event of something happening to her, he would get full custody of their daughter without question.
The other set of papers had been harder to sign, but she had managed to do it, even though it hurt more than she had thought it would. The second set of papers relinquished her custody
of Tali and transferred it to Tony. She was not good at apologizing, but maybe this would say what she had trouble saying.

While returning the hug, Derek decided to offer a response. I know there is no guarantee that it wont blow up in your face. There is a risk in admitting the truth. I believe that when you do the right thing, everything will just fall into place. Id put my trust and faith into that. Besides, I still do think that your cousin deserves to know and hear about this information. Im sure shell understand that you wanted to protect her all these years. At the end of the day, I know she will still love you and everything will work out the way you want it. I just have a good feeling about it. I would trust my gut here. After growing silent, Derek continued hugging his fiance. Once he released the blonde, Derek quickly gathered his own bags and his own items to carry on the trip. Soon enough, they were both ready to leave.
Do you want to drive? Or do you want me to drive? The agent asked while walking out of the house, slightly in front of Ellie. He remembered the way and he could remember where JJ lived since she and Will often had the team over for events. When I was at the BAU, each team member hosted events at their homes. I remember how to find her and Wills house. Reaching the car, Derek placed their bags into the backseat, packing it tight. Depending on how Ellie answered, he slipped into the complying seat of the car, based on whatever Ellie desired.
Often, after fights, it was not uncommon to feel remorse or regret about something that was said. Tony was experiencing it firsthand. At some point after Ziva returned, he woke up. The sound of running water and quiet movement told him that Ziva had joined him again. Immediately, he started to feel the regret about things he said to Ziva. Yet, he figured it was an issue they could talk about in the morning. Perhaps he needed to sleep on the problem before he lost his temper again. Although Tony believed he was in the right, there were better ways to get his point across. The route he chose was dangerous and immature.
It was not until a couple hours later when he woke again after dozing back to sleep once he decided to put the conversation off until the morning. His eyes opened and he could see Ziva moving around in front of him, placing something on the table. He was unsure of what was going on, but he rubbed his face gently. Hey He whispered in a coarse, grotesque manner. Although Tony had been asleep, he did not rest. He might have been sleeping, but it felt like he was awake for the past five or six hours.
On all levels, he was struggling to find comfort. Now looking at the woman, he finally decided to sit up and stretch out his body. After stretching out his limbs, Tony yawned and sat upright onto the edge of the couch. Whats this? He questioned, glancing down at two separate documents. The first one he picked up and glanced over named him and recognized him as Talis father. It would mean that he would have custody of Tali as well, not just Ziva, legally. That warmed his heart. After all, that was exactly what he wanted. He just wanted to be acknowledged as her father, to have all the rights that any other father would have in a normal situation.
So, he smiled. But that smile faltered when he glanced at the next one. Ziva, what are you thinking? He asked softly, glancing at the document. Suddenly, he ripped the document naming him the sole legal guardian and full custody rights in half. That was not the point. Ziva, will you sit down, please? I promise I wont get upset this time. I dont want you to give Tali up. I just wanted you to acknowledge me as her father and guardian, too. You did that now. Thats all I could ask for.

Ellie smiled slightly at Derek as he put their bags in the back of the car. "I want you to drive, please. I'm too nervous to get behind the wheel. And it's not a good idea to drive when you're nervous. You know, after we spend some time with Jenny and Will, maybe I could eventually meet the rest of your old team. I love hearing you talk about Reid, Penelope, Emily, Hotch, and Rossi. I know that they're like your family. And besides, I bet they've got somegreatstories they could tell me about you and what you were like over the years," She teased him and laughed.
Ziva nodded as she listened to Tony speak, and took a seat when he asked her to do so. "I am not good at apologizing. This is my way of doing that. I hate that I hurt you, Tony. I... I... I am... sorry." She forced the word out, and even though it was just a word and shouldn't have been so hard to say, it was. Because she wasn't used to saying it. She hadn't been taught to apologize for something. Her world growing up was vastly different from what it was today. The young woman could only hope that he accepted her apology, as bad as she knew it was.

Of course, whatever you want. This can be a little mini-vacation for us. Smiling, Derek shared another kiss with Ellie and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. After the kiss, Derek departed from the blonde and walked towards the drivers side. As the trip began, Derek gave Ellie full control of the radio (like he always does) and explained to her where around the Quantico area that her cousin and Will lived. The drive would not take forever, but it was still a nice little trip. Im excited for this. I think this will be great for everyone. After all, I know my old team has wanted to meet my fiance for a while now. I talk about you all the time to them.
I know and I am sorry, too. I believe I had valid reasoning for my reaction, but I handled it poorly. I dont want to lose you again and I didnt mean to push you back away. I think were at a better understanding now. I want to share custody with you, Ziva. I dont want to take her from you. Youre her parent as well. Thats what I wanted from the beginning, I wasnt sure how to ask for it. I didnt know what youd do if I asked for such a commitment like that. Tony sighed and placed a hand over her leg. Are you okay, now? Do you want to talk about anything?
human
Ellie blushed as she listened to him talk. "I really can't wait to meet your friends, your team. Though from everything that you've told me so far, they're more like family. Just like Tony, Gibbs, and McGee are. I don't know Ziva very well, but Tim told me that Ziva returned because she and Tony have a daughter, and she wanted them to get to know each other. I'll admit, I've never pictures Tony as a family man, but from what Tim and Gibbs have said, if anyone is as stubborn as Tony and can make it work with him, it's Ziva. So, I wish them luck, and after all of this with Jenny is done, we'll have to get to know Ziva, too."
Ziva looked into his eyes. "I am fine. No. No more talking, at least for right now. I do not want to say something that might mess up this fragile peace between us. Can we just, be together? Sometimes words mess things up. Especially when a person tries to fill silences and just spits out whatever is in their head. Just hold me, Tony. Please. That is all I want right now. All I need." After she spoke, the young woman fell silent, and waited to see if Tony was going to do as she had asked. She had missed the feeling of having him in her arms, and of his arms around her.
gpt
During the trip, Derek basically did not release Ellies hand. There was nothing better than the stroll along the highway during their trip while holding her hand, fingers lacing together. At stopping points, he made sure to at least steal a kiss from her hand or cheek. Of course, Derek was always a more touchy, feely kind of guy, so this was probably not a surprise since they had been together for so long. They were finally getting close, only about ten minutes away from her cousins house. Have you thought about what you want to say yet? Derek asked, wondering if she would want him to lead everything until she had something in mind, or if she had a plan already.
Agreeing with ZIva, Tony simply held his arms around her body. Talking had gotten to them to this point in the first place. Again, although Tony had been hurt by what Ziva said and thought about him, he was able to forgive her. He hoped she could forgive him for reacting so poorly, but any father would react the same if he gave a damn about his child. Clearly, Tony did care. He knew what the general idea of him and fatherhood consisted of though. Not many could see him here. Those that did could not see him doing well. Unluckily for them, Tony knew he could prove everyone wrong and show Ziva that he was going to be a great father.
human
Ellie shook her head at his question. "I have no idea. Something along the lines of, 'I'm sorry for being so stupid and not reaching out earlier.' " She said and then shrugged her shoulders. "I don't really know. All I do know is that my head is spinning with all kind of scenarios of what could happen and what could go wrong. The smallest thing could mess this up and I'm afraid of that happening. It's taken me this long to find my cousin again, and I can't stand the thought of losing Jenny again." She sighed softly and pulled over. "It might be best if you take over driving for a while."
Ziva wrapped her own arms around Tony, as they sat there together on the couch. "I look forward to getting to know you, Tony. The real you. The one that you have kept locked up and to yourself for all of these years. It will just take us some time to come to grips with everything that we have found out about each other in the last few weeks. Perhaps it would be best if we took some time to reconsider what we thought we knew about each other. This way we won't let our own expectations get in the way of what's really happening. Does that make sense?"
gpt
Listening to Ellie speak, Derek attempted to think of what he could say to help his fianc. Dont worry about messing up, Ellie. Dont be afraid of saying the wrong thing. Just say what comes to your heart, what you think would be the best thing to say. Tell her the truth, how you really feel. I think thats what it comes down to. Agreeing with Ellie, Derek switched over and took the wheel, driving them the remainder of the way. Soon enough, they reached the house that was shared between Ellies cousin and Will. So, when they arrived, Derek parked into an open space along the driveway and looked towards the blonde. ready? He asked, offering a sincere smile.
I look forward to getting to know you as well and I look forward to revealing myself to you. I have kept a lot hidden away, but these past few weeks have opened my eyes. I think what you say makes perfect sense. It is almost like starting again, in a way, but were already so far into something here. It was something they could both benefit from. Ziva would not have this misconception of him being a shitty father and he would not look at her like she was just waiting for an excuse to run. After deciding this, Tony simply just sat there and held Ziva, letting the feeling of her body just sink into his arms.
human
Ellie chuckled nervously. "Definitely not. But it's way too late to get cold feet." She took a few moments to get her breathing under control, and once the blonde was sure that she wouldn't throw up, slipped one of her hands into Derek's and followed him up the porch. She stood on her tiptoes and pressed the doorbell, then stood back and waited for the door to open. Part of
her hoped that it would be Jenny who answered, but the other part of her hoped that it would be her cousin's husband, which would allow her a few more moments to pull herself together.
Ziva looked up so that she met Tony's eyes. "We both have a lot of preconceived notions about each other. Maybe we should try to ignore those and just focus on the person who is right in front of us. I am willing to give it a try if you are. You mean so much to me, Tony. I do not want to do or say something that will make you leave. I am.. I am hard to be around, I know this. But I will try to do better, for Tali and for you. Please do not let me go.." She told him softly, and as they held onto each other, the young woman simply rested her head against his shoulder.
