Famous Last words
He smiled looking up at his partner. All the memories they have had together slipping through his mind. Although the pain was excruciating and he laid hopeless on the ground in her arms, the sound of sirens in the background he still had a smile on his face while hers had vanished.
"What are you smiling at?" She choked. Her partner had done his job, protecting her ass but it had lead to this and she would never forgive herself until she killed the bastard that put rounds through her DiNozzo.
"You, or it could be gas." He coughed. If this was where his last breath would be he might as well go out laughing.
Even though he pulled a joke, a smile was no where to be seen on Ziva's face. "Don't talk. Save your breathe." She urged.
"Gibbs is going to kill me."He coughed out another joke and his partner just shook her head. "Smile." He urged. "If this is my last moment. I need to see you smile." He reached up to her face and placed his hand on her cheek. She held it there with hers. His thumb caught a tear she let fall and rubbed it away. "You once told me my last words would be I have seen that film." He sucked in a deep breathe. Trying to hide the immense pain he was in.
Ziva held her breathe as if, if she let go she would fall to bits. "This will not be your last moment." She squeezed his hand more while keeping the other firmly on his side where the blood was puddle around her hand.
His thumb caught another tear. He knew how hard it was for her to hold back the tears. To not fall apart because if the roles were reversed he would be doing the same thing, he hated the pain this put her through. He wished Gibbs or McGee was his back up but no he had to watch her go through as much pain as he was going through.
"Can I at least make one more joke." He pleaded to her, he needed to make her smile even if this wasn't his last breathe.
Ziva nodded and he pretended to clear his throat which just made him wince from moving. "I have-" He paused thinking about which movie to reference but he came up short and the corners of his mouth crept up into a smile. "I have seen this film.. It's mine." He finished and looked up into her eyes.
She knew he just wanted to see her smile and it was quite funny in his time of need when he really should have a movie reference he came up short. She smiled a soft smile. This was his movie and this was how it was going to end.
"I couldn't have thought of a better ending to my movie." He smiled and wiped away another tear. "Tell Gibbs he is my father." He coughed. The pain was starting to fade and he knew he had to hurry. "Tell Mc-gee I love him. Tell Abby she will always be my sister. Duck is a true gentlemen. I love my friends. I love you." With that said he went quiet, more tears were starting to flow from Ziva's eyes but he didn't care. He saw her smile. His last wish and he was happy.
