One shots of moment relating to Tali. Each chapter is Tali at points in her life taking on milestones or simply doing cute things. The chapters DO NOT follow on necessarily. I am going to try make each chapter progress with Tali's age, for example the first chapter Tali is hours old and she will get older as chapters progress, but they do not follow a story as such. Despite each chapter being individual one shots, In my mind it is set a couple years after Ziva left Ray, instead of following the path the show gave her she falls for Tony and have Tali so both parents have been with Tali since birth. If i choose to do a chapter on Tali where she was in-fact separate from Ziva for those years like in the show then I will state it at the beginning however I have no plans for that right now.

I am open to suggestions of 'moments' if you think of something I can write. I will also be open to any age that Tali could be.

Simple cuteness.

Hope you Enjoy.

Chapter one- New Baby

Tony and Ziva sat tentatively on the couch, Tali fast asleep in Ziva's arms. The tiny bundle only a day old. Her face so peaceful as she slept. Ziva had given birth early that morning after an intense but beautiful labour. They had stayed in the hospital for most of the day while doctors and nurses checked on both Ziva and Tali, running any necessary tests and health checks. It was now six in the evening and it was now setting in that they had a new born baby.

"She's so tiny Tony"

"I know, but I still can't believe she was inside you, or that you pushed her out of you for that matter" Tony said, his face creasing slightly.

"Trust me I can't believe it either, I can barley walk let alone go to the bathroom" Ziva whined light heartedly.

"You did amazing Ziva"

Ziva smiled and rested her head on Tony's shoulder, closing her eyes for a few minutes. She was shattered, they all were but she couldn't bare to not stare at her baby. She couldn't believe she was a mother. It had seemed like such a distant thing, if at all. After Ray she had resigned herself to a single life, unwed and without children, but her upsetting break up to Ray had only brought her and Tony closer. It had developed into a wonderful love story between the two. The unresolved sexual tension that had been building for years, culminating in a wonderful night that paved the way for their future. After breaking rule twelve the two decided to keep their new relationship under the radar. Neither wanted to face the wrath of Gibbs. It had been nice just getting to explore each other without judging eyes or unnecessary opinions. What neither had realised was Gibbs was very aware his two agents were doing the horizontal dance. Maybe not at first but within the first week he picked up on the change, choosing to remain quiet until the time was right to embarrass them. McGee, completely none the wiser despite there little hints just for fun. Ducky and Jimmy were also oblivious, but then again they spent most of their time in the basement. Abby however had sensed something was up, choosing to tease the two wherever possible, trying to get information. Neither one offering anything, instead choosing to confuse the poor lab tech. In hind sight they should have guessed Gibbs knew when he told Abby to drop it, the smirk on his face had been suspicious after all.

"Ahhhrgg" Tali groaned as she began to cry.

Ziva's eyes flew open and Tony sat rigid. Both looking at the tiny bundle for a moment before realising they actually had to do something. Whenever Tali cried in the hospital a nurse had been around to aid them, now they were completely alone.

"What do you think she needs?" Ziva asked, her voice laced with panic.

As his initial reaction calmed, Tony took control and pulled Tali from Ziva, standing and rocking the little girl in his arms. Ziva was amazed at how easily Tony had taken to being a father…granted it hadn't been a full day yet but he was defiantly the calmer of the two.

"EH EH EH" Tali sobbed, her face in a knot.

"Okay rocking not working" Tony sighed. He lifted her up a little and sniffed. "She doesn't smell like she needs changing"

If Ziva hadn't been so tired and worried she might have laughed at Tony's process of elimination.

"I think she needs you Zi" Tony concluded, handing the baby back over.

Fear filled Ziva as she cradled her crying baby. She had not breast fed on her own yet. Yes the nurse had left her when Tali fed but the nurse had always been there to help Ziva out. Ziva awkwardly slid her top down and unclasped her nursing bra. Hesitantly she guided Tali to her nipple, trying to force her boob into Tali's mouth. The little girl just cried louder, her face growing redder.

"She's got your lungs" Tony muttered earning himself a deathly glare from Ziva.

"She doesn't want to latch on…what am I supposed to do?" Ziva pleaded, her own emotions trying to take over.

Tony had never seen Ziva seem so…helpless. Maybe that wasn't the right word, he certainly wasn't going to say it to her. She was just so in control usually. Yes she let her walls down around him but even that was a battle between the two, almost two years down the line of their relationship. Ziva still held her tough exterior, almost all the time. He couldn't believe a tiny baby could be her kryptonite.

"Just relax…"

"How can I relax when I can't feed our baby"

"Zi…"

"Tony"

"Just relax your shoulders" Tony urged, rubbing her upper arms hoping to calm her.

Tali still screamed her lungs out, begging to be fed.

"She's not even trying Tony" Ziva said in frustration, nothing how Tali didn't seem to search for her nipple.

Tony leant Ziva back, an arm wrapped around her, softly rubbing circles into her skin. His touch keeping Ziva's tension to a minimum. Tong gently helps Ziva re position Tali, guiding her to what she needed most. After a few moment, Tali latched on, her cries no longer piercing her parents ears.

"See, you can do it Ziva, it just takes time"

Ziva groaned in frustration that Tony seemed to be better at this than her but relaxed under his touch. Watching as Tali now happily suckled for her dinner.

"Why am I not as good at this as you?"

Tony laughed and glanced at the clock.

"Ziva, we have only had Tali in our arms for…twenty…four and a half hours" Tony said as he worked out the time. "This is going to take a while to get used to"

"But you seem so calm"

"And there will be plenty of times that your the calm one and I am panicking, we just got to help each other"

"I'm afraid Tony…I was scared when we got pregnant and then I got excited through the pregnancy but now I'm back to being scared. I hardly had a great childhood, I was never loved once my mother died, I don't have a normal family…I only have Nettie as blood family and she's not around…Im a trained killer Tony"

Ziva rambled nervously, whispering the last words as though Tali would understand that her mother had killed enough people to make her loose count.

"Ziva neither of us had good childhoods after our mothers died but that just makes me more determine the ensure Tali has the best one"

"I want that too"

"We will mess up I'm sure, but she is going to have plenty of love and sometimes that is all that's needed"

"When did you become so wise Tony DiNozzo"

Ziva's voice was sultry and smooth, her eyes wandering over Tony's face.

"Hmmm Ziva David…are you flirting with me?"

"Maybe…"

Tony leant in and kissed Ziva, their lips caressing each others, tongues sneaking past to dance and explore, a moan escaping Ziva's lips as Tony nipped softly.

"Well maybe we can continue that once Tali's asleep" Tony whispered huskily.

Despite seeing Ziva screaming until she was blue in the face, her body contorted in various positions of agony, her legs spread and his baby pushed from between them, Ziva sweaty and crying, he still found her the sexiest woman alive, maybe even more so now.

"You Mr, will have to keep dreaming…you are not going anywhere near my…woo woo for a long time. I feel like I've been cut in two down there…sex is officially off the table."

Tony chuckled and kissed her temple, squeezing her a little closer.

"I didn't mean that…we can do other things"

"You mean I can do things to you?"

"Well if you're offering?" It was a question.

Ziva rolled her eyes and kissed Tony gently.

"You should be so lucky"

The wink she gave as she spoke made Tony go weak at the knees, but he smiled happily. He didn't care about all that, he just wanted to curl up with his super ninja in his arms.

"I think someone is ready to go in her bassinet"

The two gazed at Tali, who was now out like a light. Her lips pouted slightly as she slept.

"Let's go put her down and sleep Tony, Im exhausted"

"Of course sweet-cheeks"
