Holding Out For A Hero?
By A Fanfiction Angel
Sort of a sequel to Just Another Conquest (my other fic), set approximately three weeks later. According to me, Judgement Day never happened, well at least Jenny isn't dead and is still the Director of NCIS (I dislike Vance big time). Established Tiva, Jibbs and McAbby, even though there wasn't any mention of Jenny or Jibbs in JAC.
Disclaimer: DROP THE GUNS NCIS, OR BERT GETS IT! Just kidding. I would never try to blackmail NCIS...or I would...but not with Bert. I might try with Tony's Might Mouse Stapler though...So no. I don't own NCIS or any of the characters Donald Bellisario does.
Chapter 1
Pillow talk
Ziva David's eyes flickered wide open for the first time that day. The sun wasn't quite up yet but it wasn't completely dark outside either. Dawn. Perfect. She lifted her head from her pillow for a second to check the time on the clock.
5:45.
Time to get up, Ziva thought, her mind still slightly drowsy. She was still a little unfamiliar with this house that she had moved into last week on demand of her boyfriend who insisted it saved on cost and as Abby pointed out; an excellent example of carpooling while reducing pollution... She had claimed the side of the bed that wasn't facing the wall so she didn't have to climb over her lover to get out of bed.
Quietly lifting the blankets she bent her legs and heaved herself up. A hand suddenly shot out and pulled her back down to the bed.
"Mm…don't get up yet Sweetcheeks, he mumbled. "Spend more time in bed with me." His eyes were still closed but he moved closer to her, one hand still on her arm and the other clutching her closer around her waist pulling her closer to his body.
"Tony… it's 5:46; I need to go for my morning run." Ziva reasoned.
Tony's hand then snaked its way from her arm towards her chest while the arm around her waist went lower…
"Tony…" Ziva growled pushing his hand away gently as she gingerly stepped off the bed. "What is it with men and sex?" she cried as she took off her nightie and started putting on her shorts and jogging bra.
Tony stared at Ziva's naked body the whole time as she undressed and put on her running gear. "Sweetcheeks you look so hot you should just jog naked all the time." His eyes were half open as he laid on his front but his head was slightly turned in the direction of his partner.
Ziva didn't know if he had lost his brain overnight or was sleep talking. But then she didn't think you could possibly sleep talk with your eyes wide open.
"Stop ogling at me."
"I'm not."
Clearly he was.
"Are so"
"Are not"
"Are so"
"Are not"
"You are hopeless Tony, how did you survive for all those months before we got together?" Ziva asked with an incredulous look on her face.
His eyes had snapped shut again and he had his face on Ziva's pillow inhaling her scent. "The internet Ziva…is full of interesting things," mumbled Tony.
She rolled her eyes at him even though he wasn't looking.
"Bye my little hairy butt!"
"Hey I shaved!" Tony's shouted indignantly but Ziva was already out the door.

Guys will always be guys, Ziva thought. No matter what woman they were with and what situation they were placed in. It reminded her of this quote she once read in a shop. What was it again? Ah that's right, "see, the problem is that God gave men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time." That is so true, Ziva thought.

45 mins later
"Jubilees Timothy McGee! It's 6:30 already! Get up! Up up and away!" Abby shouted in Timmy's ear, waving her hands and jumping excitedly. Unlike her boyfriend, Abby was very much a morning person.
McGee groaned, he hated mornings, especially Mondays. "Abby how about you come back into the coffin with me?" McGee said almost seductively. If McGee was capable of seductiveness that is. Abby almost burst open in happiness as she did a mental happy dance. Her little boy was growing up!
"Oh McGee…" she sighed, sliding down to snuggle up next to her best friend, her lover, her soulmate, contently. "Timmy…why is there a rock pushing against…oh! Oh…McGee!" Abby screamed, half amused, half outraged.
Hopeless, she thought. A one track mind.

5 mins later
"Jethro I'm heading off now. I've got an early meeting with SecNav from one of the cases from the Minor Response team." Jenny Shepherd called from the top of the stairs to the basement.
Gibbs looked up from his boat and smiled at her, she was so beautiful with that blazing red hair even though it was still short from that dreadful haircut she had all that time ago, her bright green eyes…
"Jethro? What are you thinking about?" She started heading down the stairs now.
"You…" Gibbs murmured softly into her ear, his breath tickling her. He started trailing kisses from her neck, biting gently here and there.
"Jethro." Her voice lowered an octave, slightly threatening. "I need to go now." Her voice emphasizing on the words 'need' and 'now'.
Leeroy Jethro Gibbs moaned gently in annoyance. He had always taken a dislike to SecNav but now they were taking away his personal time with Jenny as well? "You still got time Jen, stay a little while longer." His fingers trailed up to her blouse, undoing the top button. "You can get SecNav to come to me if they have any problems…"
Jenny swatted his hand away from her collar, gave Jethro a quick teasing kiss on the lips before heading out the door. "Remember to buy some more milk on your way home…low fat!"
Gibbs grunted to himself in reply and shifted uncomfortably in his pants.

"Argghhh!" Ziva groaned in frustration, running her fingers through her long hair.
"Problems with Tony?" Abby asked curiously hugging Bert with a fart.
Ziva scowled. "Men." She muttered.
Abby nodded understandingly, her face contemplative. "Sex, sex and oh what's that? More sex." She sighed, placing a kiss on Bert's forehead lovingly.
The Director suddenly walked through the door into Abby's lab. She had been doing that a lot recently, dropping into her forensic scientist's lab for a chat.
"That would be at least classified a yellow light." She teased. "Talking about sexual matter in front of a co-worker."
"It's Tony, he is always so…" Ziva paused searching for the right word as she grabbed a chair and sat down.
"Horny?" Abby offered with a grin.
Jenny laughed and the other two girls joined in.
Ziva then looked thoughtful, her eyes were slightly narrowed.
"Penny for your thoughts Ziva?" Jenny asked.
"Celibacy" she finally admitted twirling a strand of her loose hair around her finger nonchalantly.
"Celibacy?!" The two of them echoed, confused as hell.
"Yeah…celibacy!…" Abby smiled deviously. She started getting excited, making Bert fart several more times.
"One week." Jenny smirked.
"Two." Ziva said, fingering her hair absentmindedly.
"One…month" Abby grinned evilly.
"Ouch." Ziva pursed her lips thinking wistfully of all the things she could do to torment Tony during that period of time. Little did she know Abby and Jenny were thinking very much the same things as her. They all nodded. One month.

"So you're basically condemning us to a whole freaking month of celibacy!" Tony's voice getting louder and louder with each word till he was practically shouting at the top of his lungs.
Everyone had gathered in the Director's Office for a 'private meeting' Jenny had told Cynthia but then Cynthia was well adapted to these 'private meetings' of hers – especially when Special Agent Gibbs barged into her office unexpectedly with a determined look on his face…
"Uh-huh" the girls chorused, beaming innocently back at the boys.
McGee's eyes widened with fear, like a deer caught in headlights. Gibbs' face looked winded and unconsciously bit the side of his bottom lip. Tony's jaw dropped and start pinching himself repeatedly till he was going yelling with pain.
Ziva arched an eyebrow, "Tony what in the world are you doing?" she inquired, putting a hand on his wrists stopping him from inflicting anymore unnecessary pain on himself.
"I'm trying to wake up from this horrible nightmare Zi!" Tony whined like a little kid. "Nope, looks like this isn't a dream."
Ziva playfully landed a peck on his lips. " You'll be fine Tony. Just…hold it in…." And with that she burst out laughing till she was close to tears.
"Jen…why a month?" Gibbs voiced was strained. "Yeah…" echoed McGee chokingly.
"Nope, no bargaining Timmy!" Abby patted McGee on the head gently like a small puppy.
"Oh and don't think we'll be going easy on you boys. We plan to make this as hard and as enduring as possible…" Jenny trailed off, a flirting smile on her lips as she stared defiantly at Gibbs making him squirm.
"What if I beg?" Tony said.
They shook their heads.
"I promise I won't complain about your PMS's again!"
"Nope. And if you dare complain about our PMS's again we'll just have to add more montttthhh" Abby answered in a sing-song voice.
"I'll do your laundry for a month?" he begged.
"Nu-uh. You are not getting out of this one that easily." Ziva wagged a finger at him.

Cynthia looked up from her desk as the door opened from her boss's office and three male Agents exited. Special Agent Gibbs was grumbling and muttering curses under his breath, Special Agent McGee looked like a nervous wreck and was sweating, Special Agent Dinozzo was scowling like a kid with his lollipop stolen. She peered her head in to look into the Director's office to see the three women clutching their sides and doubling over in laughter. Cynthia shook her head ruefully and continued to work, holding back her spluttering laughter.
So..thoughts? Suggestions? Feedback? Really poo...really cool? This one's more case centered but with more humour/romance
