'Agent Gibbs, Meet your new team'
"Sir, I can't. I refuse to become an agent afloat" Tony said stepping up in front of Vance. McGee, Gibbs and Ziva all stared at him.
"Agent DiNozzo. This is a direct order. Unless you can give me a good reason as to why you can't, then you have no choice" Vance said. Tony stood strong in front of him.
"I can't leave my kids" He said. Ziva and McGee looked at each other while Gibbs glared at Tony.
"I wasn't aware you had kids Agent DiNozzo" Vance said not believing him "How old are they?"
"15 and 3" Tony said. Vance nodded.
"Very well. You will be transferred to Agent Blake's team"
"DINOZZO!" Gibbs bellowed as they all walked into the Bullpen. Tony turned.
"Boss listen-"
"Why did you keep them a secret?" Gibbs asked angrily.
"So they'd be safe" Tony said looking away from Gibbs and over to Ziva, who was quietly packing her things from her desk into a box, avoiding eye contact with him.
McGee walked up to him "What are their names?" He asked. Tony smiled slightly.
"Charlotte's 15…I was 22 when she was born. He mother was killed a while ago and she's been living with me since then…then I have Carlos…He's 3 and looks so much like his mother…she couldn't handle a kid and gave him to me when he was born" Tony explained quickly looking at Ziva, who looked away quickly.
"How did you-" McGee was cut off by Tony.
"Charlotte takes care of Carlos when I'm not home" He said. Abby came running into the room.
"Is it true?! You have kids?" She asked wide eyed. Tony sighed and pulled his wallet out of his back pocket and handed her a picture. McGee and Gibbs looked at the picture over her shoulder.
It showed a teenager standing at a park that had Tony's smile, long dark brown hair that went just past her shoulders, green eyes, she was wearing a black t-shirt that said 'Read Less, More TV' and wearing jeans. Clinging to her leg was a little boy with the same colour hair and the same smile, but the little boy had slightly olive skin.
"They're beautiful Tony!" Abby said handing him back the photo, tears running down her cheeks. Ziva stepped up to Tony.
"I will miss you Tony" she whispered. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her.
"Come say goodbye to Carlos tonight" He whispered into her ear. She sighed and shook her head.
"Tony, you know I can not. It is not safe for him to know me"
"Please?" He whispered letting her go. She sighed.
"I will try…"
"Bond?" Tony called out as he entered his apartment. Charlotte walked out from the lounge room. Ever since she was born Tony had called her Bond, as he and Charlotte's mother thought they were going to have a boy and were going to call her James.
"Hey Dad…you ok?" She asked sadly.
"We got split up" He said and Charlotte's jaw dropped "McGee's going to Cyber Crimes…I'm headed to a new team and Ziva's…She's going back to Israel"
Charlotte looked angry "That dick!" She said. Tony laughed slightly.
"Yeah he is…Where's Carlos? Ziva might be coming by later" Tony said. At that moment Carlos ran into the room and wrapped his little arms around Tony's legs.
"Daddy!" Carlos said happily. Tony picked him up and put him on his shoulders. They walked into the lounge room and Tony put Carlos on the couch. The doorbell rang and Charlotte looked at Tony.
"I'll get it" She said getting up and walking to the door.
"Hey Ziva, long time no see" Charlotte smiled as she opened the door.
Ziva smiled slightly back "Shalom Charlotte"
Tony walked into the entrance slowly from the lounge room with Carlos hiding behind him. When Tony stopped Carlos peaked out from behind Tony's legs.
"Are you my mummy?" He asked innocently. Ziva and Charlotte looked at Tony. He kneeled down so he was eye level with Carlos.
"Why do you think that Buddy?" He asked. Carlos turned around and ran down the hallway to his room. Tony looked up at Charlotte and she shrugged. Charlotte was about to go find Carlos when he came running out clutching a picture. He handed it to Tony.
It showed Tony with his arms around a pregnant Ziva.
"Carlos. Where did you get this?" Tony asked, still holding the picture.
"I fownd it in your draw" Carlos said softly, afraid he was in trouble. Tony looked up at Ziva with pleading eyes. She sighed and kneeled down next to him with a slight smile on her face.
"Yes Carlos. I am your mother" She said. Carlos just looked at her.
"Why haven't I met you before?" He asked.
"Because it was safer that you did not know me" She said.
"Don't you love me?" He asked with tears running down his cheeks. Ziva looked at Tony with a heart broken expression on her face. She turned back to Carlos and reached a hand out to him. What she didn't expect was when Carlos jumped into her arms and hugged her tightly. Tony stood up and stood next to Charlotte, who had a small smile on her face. When Carlos let go of Ziva's neck he yawned.
"I think it's time for bed Buddy" Tony said picking him up.
"But I want to stay here with Mummy" He said, his eyes drooping.
"Sorry Carlos, but you gotta sleep" Tony said. Charlotte stepped over and took Carlos from Tony.
"I'll put him to bed and I'll hang out in my room and surf the net. Night Dad" She said kissing his cheek. "Night Ziva" She smiled and disappeared down the hall.
"So…when do you leave?" Tony asked as they walked into the lounge room and sat on the couch.
"A week. I have to sort out my apartment and ship my things back to Tel Aviv" She said. Tony nodded and they sat in a silence.
Tony laughed slightly "Do you remember when you were pregnant and you kept asking me for pickles and ice cream?" He said. Ziva groaned at the memory.
"He is a sweet boy" She said with a slight smile.
"Yeah…A one night stand turned out pretty good, didn't it" He said. Ziva threw a pillow at him.
Not long after Ziva had joined NCIS she and Tony had gone out after a hard case. They got drunk and ended up sleeping together. The next morning Ziva met Charlotte, who was just 12 at the time. Tony and Ziva decided it was best that they never talked of that night. But a month later Ziva came to the apartment saying that she was pregnant. They had become close friends, but never anything more, even though both started falling in love with the other. When Ziva was 4 months pregnant and starting to show, she went away for 3 months of the pregnancy and returned for the remaining 2. She stayed with Tony and Charlotte until Carlos was born (Everyone at NCIS Thought she was still away) and she left Carlos with Tony and pretended it never happened.
"You have to stay Ziva" Tony said turning to face her better on the couch.
"I can not Tony. I have been ordered back to Mossad. I do not have a choice" She said sadly "I really should be going" She said standing up. Tony quickly stood with her.
"Please…stay" He said. She looked down.
"I will try and come by tomorrow…I have to go to the Embassy. So maybe tomorrow afternoon, yes?" She said.
"Yeah. Carlos will like that" Tony smiled as they walked to the door.
Ziva turned to him "Goodbye Tony" She said leaning up and kissing on the cheek and stepping away. He caught her hand and pulled her to him. He leaned down and kissed her cheek, very close to her mouth. The kiss lingered for longer then necessary, and then he let her hand go.
"Goodbye Ziva"
I'll update as soon as I can!
