The Greatest Gift and Honor
Sometimes, on her bad days, Ziva wishes she could have grown up with Gibbs instead of Eli, but it takes a bullet to her shoulder for her to ever say it aloud.
"You're going to be okay," Gibbs tells her, holding her hand in the ambulance.
That only makes her wish it more- Eli would never have reassured her like that, even when she was little.
"I wish you'd been my father, Gibbs," she says, involuntarily, then freezes.
But Gibbs leans over to kiss her temple. "Me, too," he replies. "But I'm still that proud of you, Ziver."
She smiles.
THE END
