"Dinozzo, David" Gibbs ordered "Directors office, NOW!"

THey hurried up to the directors office.
"Do you think they found out?" Ziva whispered in Tony's ear
"Dunno" Tony gulped

"In, Quick" Gibbs said coming up behind them and looking around as though to check if anyone saw them entering.

Jenny Shepard was sitting behind her desk, looking through a very fat file.
"Sit Down"

Tony and Ziva sat down.
"We have a top secret mission for you"
"What is it?"
"You will go undercover as a couple of weapons smugglers"
"What is our job?" Ziva asked
"You will go undercover as husband and wife, Lisa and Andrew Williams, you have a 5 year old daughter and a baby boy"
"What!"
"Here are the files, you have 3 weeks to prepare"
"one problem" Tony said raising a finger to his chin
"Yes Agent DInozzo"
"How are we supposed to pretend we have 2 kids" Tony asked "Put stuffed potato sack at the dining table?"
"No Tony, there gonna be real kids, Toby Richard's and his 5 yr. old sister lily"
"GIbbs, how are we supposed to pretend to be these kids parents, we have no experience, everyone one will see through it" Ziva argued
"thats why your taking parenting classes for a week"

Ziva and Tony both sighed, this wasn't exactly the kind of undercover assignment they had been hoping for.

"who's kids are they?" Tony asked
"Agent langers" Gibbs replied. Ziva's heart pounded, he was the agent that was killed, soon his only 2 children were going to be in hers and Tony's hands.

the next day....

"Ready Ziva"
"No" Said Ziva staring into space
"Come on Zi it can't be that bad"
"What if something happens to them?"
"Their mum will kill us" Tony said with a smile, noticing Ziva's expression he became serious "Ziva we are both highly qualified agents, they are just 2 kids. whats the worst that could happen?"
"We fail"
"Come on Ziva, can't be that bad"
"Why did we need to bring kids with us on the assignment anyway, they'll just be a nuisance"
"The arms dealer we are after lives in the area and his daughter goes to the same school as Lily will for the 2 weeks were there"
"Ok, i guess we better go"

They arrived at the family medical centre.

A whole class was sitting in rows of double desks, most of them looked a bit rough and each desk had a plastic baby doll lying on it.
"great, everyone is gonna think we are off the street and need to pass the course to get our drug addicted teens back from social services" Tony commented
"Come on Tony we have to pass"
"Why couldn't you have been partnered with McGee?"
"Because" Ziva said flirtatiously "We are more convincing"

They sat at the only empty table. A woman with her hair pulled back into a tight bun, she was wearing jeans and a black shirt.

"Alright everyone, we are going to go around the room and ask why everyone is here and what you hope to learn Today" She said smiling widely

"We'll start with you" She said pointing out the couple beside Tony and Ziva

"Well, we don't have much money, my son started doing drugs to help s get more money, we had no idea, but social services took him anyway, we'd really like to know how to get through to him"

"How about you two?" Said the woman pointing to Ziva and Tony "You aren't what we would call the typical students in our class, how old are you

"I'm 26 and Andrew is 29" Ziva replied

"We both grew up in bad back grounds, but when we left home, we flourished, we can't have kids of our own" Tony said faking a sniff "But we would like to adopt, we can't until we finish this course"

Ziva nodded and sniffed also, Tony put his arm around her and patted her on the back. The woman smiled sympathetically at them.

30 minutes later

Most of he people in the room had come for the same reason that the first couple had.

"Alright, first of all we are going to learn about the routine a baby requires"

Ziva had an notepad out and was rapidly taking notes, Tony was reclining in her chair, checking out the instructor. They each, one by one had to change the diaper of their plastic doll. Ziva and Tony found it very humiliating and by the end of the day were not in a very good mood.

"At least we know what to do with them now" Tony Said trying to be helpful
"Yes, we sure do"

Back at NCIS Gibbs and Jenny were waiting for them
"How did it go?"
"Great" they lied
"Tomorrow, we organized for you two to spend the day with Toby and Lily" Gibbs told them
"What do we do with them?" Tony asked
"Take them out, to the beach, to the park, get to know them, practice"Gibbs said
"You'll have to be convincing" Jen added

"Got the keys Lisa" SAId Tony, When they were with Lily and Toby they had to use their undercover names.
"Yes Andy they're in my bag"

The got into their station wagon the 'Williams family car'. In the back there was 2 car seats for Toby and Morgan.

They pulled up outside 21 Wilson ave, There was a tiny pink bicycle and many toys scattered in the backyard, They could see a pink playhouse in the yard.

Ziva rang the doorbell and they waited nervously on the porch.
"you must be Lisa and Andrew" Said Langers 'wife' winking at them. SHe was fairly young, she had wavy golden hair and was wearing jeans and a top
"yes, hello" Said Ziva putting her hand out
"I'm Stacey" She replied shaking Ziva's hand

"Are you Lisa and Andwew" Said a little girl with curly brown hair
"Yeah, whats your name?" Tony said
"Morgan" SHe replied "But i don't fink your real names are Lisa and Andwew, you don't look like a Lisa, your too pretty and you Don't look like an andrew, your lot pretty enough"

Ziva giggled
"She got you there Tony"
"Yeah you look like a Tony" SHe said, then turned to Ziva "whats your real Name?"
"Ziva"
"Thats a pretty name"
"Thank you, so is morgan"
"thanks, Mummy told me all about both of you" She replied "Me and Toby are going on holiday with you for 2 weeks and were gonna pretend that your our mummy and daddy for a special mission, cause your sorta like spy's, from spy kids"
"Whats that?" Ziva asked dumbfound
"A classic children spy flick" Tony replied
"She's very bright" Her her mum said
"i can see that" Said Ziva with a smile
"Would you like to meet Toby, he's just inside"

Tony and Ziva walked inside and saw a sweet baby boy sitting in a highchair. His mum lifted him out and he smiled at the 2 visitors.
"Would you like to hold him?"

Neither of them did, they were both afraid they'd drop him but they couldn't really refuse. Ziva put her arms out for the gurgling 6 month old. Ziva held him from under the armpits and smiled as he looked curiously at her face and tugged at a lock of hair coming down over her face. Then she passed him to Tony who almost dropped him the second he touched him. He re-adjusted him in his arms and played with his small hands,
"He's very sweet" Ziva complimented

Stacey just smiled
"He looks more and more like Brent every day"

A tear ran down her cheek but she quickly wiped it away.

"So what are you planning to do?" Stacey asked
"Well we were going to go to the playground and then the beach, then maybe the cinema, have a bit of a picnic at the zoo, we have a big day planned"
"Sounds great, Morgan will love it, she doesn't have many friends and she doesn't get out allot"
"Don't worry Stacey, we will take good care of them"
"thank you"

Tony carried toby to the car and Ziva held Morgan's Hand. Stacey gave them a bag full of stuff like some formula, a bottle, sandwiches, changes of clothes for both kids and spare diapers, which thanks to the parenting class Tony and ZIva were experts on changing.

"Where are we going first?"
"Where do you wanna go first?"
"Maybe the park"
"the park it is then" Replied Dinozzo steering out of the street and into the city.

When they arrived at the park Morgan ran off to the play equipment and Ziva went after her leaving dinozzo 'holding the baby'.

Morgan had a great time and gulped Down a sand which and a juice box.
"Where are we going now"
"Maybe the beach" Ziva suggested "have you ever been to the beach before?"
"Never" Morgan replied excitedly

They arrived at the beach and Ziva changed into her bikini, Tony into board shorts. Ziva looked through the bag and found some swimmers for Morgan.
"here put these on Morgan, then you can go for a swim"

She put them on and Ziva carried her down to the sand where Tony was standing in his board shorts waiting to go into the water. They swapped over, Ziva took Toby and sat on a towel under the umbrella and Tony took Morgan into the water.
"Be careful Andrew, she's never been to the beach before"


Ziva sat Toby up and pulled out a book Abby had got her ' parenting for dummies'

She flicked through to the babies section

most babies enjoy being bounced up and down they also enjoy lying on the tummies. Ziva played with Toby for a while then lay him down on the towel. She could see morgan standing on Tony's shoulders out in the water and the waves crashing around them. Eventually they came back in and dried themselves.

"Hey zi.. Lisa, where to next"
"Maybe we should stop and grab some lunch"
"Sounds good to me, uh i heard there's a good italian restaurant around"
"I also heard there was a nice Family friendly cafe nearby"

Ziva pushed the pram with Toby inside and Tony held Morgan's hand while they crossed the road to a little beachside cafe.

"Table for 4 please" Tony asked
"Would you like a high chair?" the waiter replied
"Yes please" ZIva told her

They went to the table and Tony strapped Toby into the highchair.
"Do we have anything to feed him?" Tony asked

Ziva chucked him a small container of pureed fruit and a spoon.
"What would you like morgan?" Ziva asked
"Pancakes"
"a whole plate?" Ziva replied "Maybe we will go halves"

"1 large pancakes?"the waitress said coming over to the table
"Here" Ziva said taking the plate and putting it down between Her and Morgan

Tony was struggling to get the food into Toby's mouth and Morgan was on the verge of a tantrum.
"But I'm not hungry, i want to go to the Zoooooo!!!" She cried
"Morgan, you have to eat or else you won't have any energy for the zoo" Ziva reasoned
"But I'm NOT HUNGRY!!!" she replied bashing her fists on the table"
"Morgan" Ziva warned

"hey Ziva, lets swap" Tony said passing the container and spoon to Ziva and turning to face Morgan
"Morgan, were not leaving until you finish your lunch ok?"
"But i don't Waant toooo"
"Well you have to, at least eat one pancake, then we'll go"
"So i have to?" MOrgan pleaded
"Yes, why wouldn't you want a pancake?" Tony said bewildered " Anyway, if your gonna be naughty we'll just take you back home to your mum and take Toby to the Zoo"
"No!" MOrgan said " I'll be good"
"Promise?" Tony asked her holding out his pinky
"promise!" she agreed shaking his pinky

Ziva had successfully fed Toby the container of pureed fruit and eaten her share of the pancakes. Morgan gulped down 2 pancakes.
"Done" SHe announced "can we go to the zoo now?"

Th got into the car and ZIva zoomed off in the direction of Washington DC Zoo.

"do you think they'll have Zebras?" Morgan asked
"Yes" Ziva replied annoyed, this was about the 10th time Morgan had asked about a certain animal being at the Zoo "I think they will have almost all the animals you can think of at the zoo, ok Morgan"
"Ok" she replied quietly

the pulled into the Zoo car park and Ziva helped Morgan out of the car, She gripped tightly to Ziva's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Are you ok morgan?" ZIva asked looking down at the little girl
"I'm afraid i'll get lost in the big zoo"
"oh ok"
"don't you like me holding your hand?"
"No no of course not" She replied seeing the little girls hurt face

They paid for their tickets and Tony pushed the stroller with Toby inside down the winding path. they looked at heaps of animals Morgan's favorite was the giraffe. The Zoo-keeper was there feeding the Giraffes when they walked past and let them feed the giraffe closest to them some celery.

"Did you see that!" Morgan exclaimed "Mummy, Daddy, take a picture"

Ziva winced at being called mummy.
"Aren't i apposed to call you mummy"
"Yes morgan, its ok I'm just not used to it" ZIva replied "thats all"

Tony got out his phone and took a picture of Ziva and morgan feeding the giraffe.

They took a break and sat on the grass outside the meerkat enclosure.
"Hey Morgan wanna ice-cream?" Tony asked
"Yeah!"
"Tony, I'm not sure, she has already eaten allot of junk food today"
"SOme on sourpuss, have some fun?" Tony pleaded
"Fine, i will have a rainbow paddle-pop" Ziva agreed

Ton went and bought the ice-creams and Ziva stayed with the two kids. the day wasn't going as badly as she thought it would have.
"Here you are milady" Dinozzo said passing the paddle pop to Ziva, then he gave a little tub of ice-cream to Morgan
"Tony, do you tihnk we should feed Toby his bottle, he hasn't had anything to drink since we picked him up?"
"Yeah probably"
"i will go and see of the canteen has any hotwater to mix some formula"

Ziva came back 10 minutes later, holding a bottle full of warm milk.
"Catch!" She shouted flinging the bottle at dinozzo who caught it with ease. He fed the bottle to Toby, two women came over.
"OH he's so adorable, is he yours" They cooed
"Yes" Ziva replied putting her arm over Tony's shoulder and looking down at Little Toby
"how old"
"6 months" Tony replied
"you 2 are so lucky, he's such a dear little baby"

Tony and Ziva smiled at the women. They went back to their own families and Tony looked at his watch.
"We better head off its almost 5, your mum will be wondering where you are"

They stopped off at the souvenir shop on the way to the car and they bought Toby a little cap and a soft little Gorilla and Morgan a stuffed giraffe and some coloured pencils with bouncy zoo animals on the top.

"So Dinozzo, Ziva" The director said
"Yes"
"you will go undercover as Lisa and Andrew williams, you Have 2 children, Toby, who is 6 months old and Morgan who is 5, she will be attending the Same school as the arms dealers daughter"
"Won't it be dangerous for Morgan?"
"No, it shouldn't be, tony, you will be the arms dealers new business partner whom he has never met before, Ziva you work at a cafe by the beach, after you pic up Morgan from school during the week"
Tony and Ziva nodded
"So what next?" Tony asked
"Morgan and Toby are waiting downstairs, with Abby, and their mother"
"What!, i thought we were heading to the house tomorrow morning?"
"you are, but your going there together, otherwise it'd look suspicious, your taking them both back to Ziva's apartment for the night, then first light your heading to your new home"

Tony and Ziva headed back down to the bullpen. McGee was busily working away at his computer.
"watcha doing probie?"
McGee muttered something about photoshopping family photos.
"what was that McGee?" Ziva replied, moving closer to the plasma screen where there was a photo of her lying in a hospital bed nursing a tiny newborn abby and Tony was beside with his arm around her.
"well, i have to take some of the Langer families photo's and photoshop you guys in"

Ziva cringed, looking over McGee's shoulder to a picture of a heavily pregnant Stacey Langer , who's face had now been removed and McGee was using Ziva's to replace it.

"come on Lisa, lets get the kids"

Ziva poked her tongue out at him and swung her bag over her shoulder, then headed for the elevator. Tony jogged to catch up with her. When they got down to Abby's Lab, Stacey was holding Toby, looking comprehensively at Abby who was holding Morgan (who was wearing a huge pair of safety goggles and a lab coat) up to see many jars of evidence including blood smears, fingers etc.
"Abbs, are you sure thats appropriate?" Tony asked, taking morgan from her.
"Its just scientific research"
"sure" Ziva added, walking over to Stacey
"Hi Lisa" She said, winking
"Hello" ZIva replied "how are you?"
"good, a bit nervous, but i don't know why, you guys are the best in the business"
"Maybe at criminal investigation and body guarding and all that stuff our job entails, i'm just to so sure were gonna be the best parents"
"Ziva, don't scare the poor woman, were gonna be great parents!" tony smiled
"He's right, i have faith in both of you"
"thank you, that means allot"

Ziva picked up a large doufle bag on the ground and took the hand of Morgan. Stacey passed Toby off to Tony. SHe kissed her daughter goodbye and then waved as Tony and ZIva took them out to the car-park where they piled into their new 'family' car.

"Whats for dinner?" Morgan asked after a long silence
"umm, dunno, we hadn't really thought about it, whadda you like?"
"I like pasta"
"then pasta it is, what do you think Lisa?"
"Sounds good, but your cooking, i can't do pasta"
"ok then, we better pop into the shop and get some supplies"

Ziva parked the car out the back of woolworths (sorry i'm australian, don't know any american supermarkets).

"Morgan, come here!" ZIva called out as morgan was about to leap out onto the road. She leant forward and put her hand on her shoulder.
"be careful, you have to hold some-ones hand when you cross the road, ok?"
"ok" Morgan replied quietly. Tony grinned.
"what?" Ziva replied haughtily

Tony put Toby into the seat at the top of the trolley and Ziva held Morgan's hand as they walked down the isles.

When they got back to Ziva's apartment Tony got into the kitchen and started making spaghetti Bolognese, while Ziva showed Morgan into her spare room and put Toby in a small portable crib that Gibbs had dropped off earlier in the day.

"you can leave your stuff in here" Ziva told morgan "you don't need to unpack cause were leaving tomorrow to live in our new house"
"kay" Replied morgan
"why don't you come out into the lounge and i'll put the tv on?" Ziva suggested
"Can i put my Pj's on"
"Sure"

Ziva helped her put on her pj's then carried her into the lounge room

Toby began to cry

"Hey Tony, i'll get toby, can you put a movie on for Morgan?"
"Sure

Ziva picked up Toby something smelt bad.
"Tony i think he needs his diaper changed"
"Well can't you, I'm cooking dinner"

After a few unsuccessful attempts Ziva finally got a clean diaper onto the wriggling infant. SHe dressed him in a pale yellow onesie because it was sweltering hot.

They ate their dinner then Ziva took Morgan into the spare room to read a story and tony stayed in the lounge feeding toby his bottle.

"can you speak other languages Ziva?" Morgan asked, getting under the sheets
"Yes, 8 languages"
"Can you tell me a story in another language"
"Um, ok sure" Ziva replied, she told Morgan a story he grew up hearing in israel, then sung a hebrew lullaby her mother had taught her to pass onto her own children

Once the 2 kids were sound asleep, Tony and Ziva went to bed. They fell asleep, tony with his arms wrapped around Ziva.

Ziva woke late at night with a small face looking up at her
"Ziva, i had a bad dream!"
"Are you ok?"
"i'm scared, can i sleep with you"
"uh, ok honey, hop in"

Ziva gave her a hug and sung softly to her as she fell asleep. I could get used to this Ziva thought as the small body beside her slept peacefully
