"I’m hoooome…" he trails off in a low voice when he catches the sight in front of him.
"Why the sad face little man" he says in his baby voice as his eyes goes to Ziva again and he sees her lazy smile.
"Our little Tateleh has been fuzzy all night. He could sense his Daddy’s absence so I decided that I did not mind if bath time would be a little earlier today. Now that Daddy is home maybe we could both finally get some sleep, hmm my little Caleb?" she said as she kissed their baby son’s head.
Tony had by now moved to sit on the side of the couch and Caleb started whimpering after his father while holding his arms out, his fingers moving panicky. “Here we go little man” Tony whispered as he took him into his lap, letting out a sigh; he was getting as attached to the little man as Caleb felt attached to him.
Caleb presses his lips to his fathers cheek and makes a mwah sound. A few minutes pasted with Tony kissing every inch of his little man, blowing bubbles on his little stomach making him giggle and when he finally turns to Ziva, she has fallen asleep, a little smile on her lips.
He puts a hand in her short hair and kisses her forehead. Then stands up and covers his wife, hoping she at least gets a few hours of sleep until Caleb needs his milk.
He walks around with Caleb until the little man has fallen asleep. Then he puts him in his little crib from Gibbs, and he heads to the kitchen as he strips down to his t-shirt and puts on sweats; his shower can wait a little.
