Hey everyone! This is a Tiva songfic to With Arms Wide Open by Creed. I looked at the lyrics in depth after I picked out the song and had the idea so I do realize it's about a guy freaking out because he got a girl pregnant, and that is not what the story is at all. Regardless, I hope you enjoy! Please review!
Love,
Alex

With Arms Wide Open
Tony never thought he would see the day where the Autopsy Gremlin would get married. But that day had come. He watched Palmer and Breena say their vows, and commit themselves to each other until death did them part. Now it was time for the reception, the part where the team and their friends would dance the night away.
Tony went to the bar, "A gin and tonic, please."
The bartender nodded and set about making his drink.
He looked to his left where Ziva had appeared. She was wearing a curve hugging emerald green dress, similar to the one she had worn when they had gone undercover.
"They look happy." She remarked as she watched Jimmy dance with his new bride.
"Yes they do." Tony said as he accepted his drink.
"The wedding was beautiful." She continued saying.
Tony nodded in agreement, weddings always made him a little uneasy. It reminded him that he was still alone.
"Tony. You cannot sit by the bar all night. Let's dance with McGee and Abby." Ziva said as she looked up at him.
"Zee-vah…" He stared to complain.
"No complaining. Come with me." She demanded taking the drink out of his hand, and leading him onto the dance floor.
They danced to the next few fast songs before a slow song came on. Abby latched onto McGee, and Tony turned to Ziva.
"May I have this dance?" He asked with a smile.
"You may." Ziva said as he pulled her up against his chest.
Well I just heard the news today With arms wide open
It seems my life is going to change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Tony looked down into Ziva's eyes. The lyrics might not have been completely applicable to their relationship, but he would always be there for her, with arms wide open. Well I don't know if I'm ready With arms wide open
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
The song ended and they didn't step back from each other. The pair stayed locked in their embrace.
"That was…" They both started to say. The laughed, "You go first." They said together again.
"That was nice." Tony said. Nice was an understatement.
"I didn't know you could dance." Ziva said as they walked back from their table unconsciously holding hands.
"There are many things you don't know about me, Miss David." Tony said as they sat back down in their seats.
They continued talking until Abby and McGee sat down next to them.
"You guys looked amazing out on that dance floor!" Abby exclaimed.
"Yeah, I guess we did." Ziva said, looking into Tony's eyes.
Abby and McGee chuckled at the look in her eyes when she was staring at Tony's.
The two pairs continued to dance and eventually it was time for the night to come to a close.
As Tony and Ziva walked out the door, he whispered in her ear "Thank you for saving me from a night alone at the bar."
"You are welcome, Tony." She said with a smile.
Tony walked Ziva to her car and gave her a kiss on the cheek "Goodnight Ziva."
"Goodnight Tony."
Tony walked to his car with a smile on his face. Maybe weddings weren't so bad after all…
