The DiNozzo Family

“What was the first movie we saw together when we were first together?” Ziva asked.
“Before the girls and before we got married?” Tony asked from the kitchen.
“Ah yeah.”
“I believe it was one of the Duke’s movies.” Tony said as he came into the living room with two wine glasses with a bit of champagne poured for both him and Ziva.
“What’s this for?” Ziva asked.
“For us having some time to ourselves before Hannah and Leah come home from the movies.”
“Its like we’re in that hotel room again.” Ziva said as she took a sip of the champagne while Tony put a DVD in for them to watch.
“Except we’re not undercover pretending to be married assassins, McProbie isn’t pretending to be waiter and we have twin seventeen year old daughters.”
“Well yeah there’s that Tony and then there’s the fact that you aren’t flashing Jenny like did back then.” Ziva said as Tony sat down on the couch and she settled into him.
“Seventeen years and we’re still a good fit.” Tony said.
“Thank God, Gibbs created rule fifty-one.” Ziva said as she kissed Tony.
“When did you tell the girls they had to be back by?”
“I told them to be back by 11pm.”
The previews ended and the movie began to play. Tony had put in one of the Duke’s movies, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. Ziva knew that he had put in the movie they had first watched together before the opening credits played.
An hour or so later the front door of the DiNozzo household opened and the twins came in. Tony stopped the movie so they could talk with the girls.
“Hey mom; I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what was Bubbie David and Aunt Tali like?” What is Grandpa Eli like?” Leah asked.
“Well your Grandma and Aunt were….” Ziva began to tear up.
Ziva still missed her mother and sister, even after all these years. Within minutes of Leah’s question, Ziva ran to her and Tony’s room completely distraught.
“Don’t worry girls, its not you. She just misses them.” Tony said as he went to his wife.
“You had to ask mom about her family?” Hannah said reprimanding her twin once their father was out of the room.
“Sorry, I was curious.”
“I know, but you should know by now that Grandpa Eli is dead to mom just like the rest of her immediate family.”
While Tony comforted Ziva, Ziva’s cell phone rang. It was Eli calling to tell her that he was going to be in Washington for little while and wanted to see everyone. After awhile Tony was able to get Ziva out of their bedroom. Ziva managed to tell Hannah and Leah about their Grandmother and Aunt. She even told them that they would get to spend some time with Eli when he came to visit.
