"Tony, I..."
Tony opened up his eyes. Where the hell was he?! He felt a pain go through his arm and he looked down. Blood was all over his hand…his hand that still held her hand. He realized what had just happened and panicked, still holding onto her hand.
"Ziva! Ziva!" he tore off his seatbelt and grabbed onto her limp body in the seat next to him. There was blood all over his car, the windows were all shattered and the passenger side of the car was dented in. His hand dripped blood from shielding her against the glass.
"Tony…." her voice quivered and she didn't move.
"Zi..it's okay I'm right here." He wrapped his arms around her, trying to pull her out of her seat so, he could get them out of the car.
"Tony, it hurts." She didn't move a single bone or open her eyes. Tony looked and noticed her leg was stuck due to the passenger side of the car smashing in. Shit he thought. Sirens from police cars and ambulances coming to the area filled Tony's ears. He still kept his hold on Ziva, her head falling into his lap. That's when he noticed, her forehead had a huge gash in it and she was losing blood quickly. He quickly put his shirt over her head and held onto her head to stop the blood flow.
"Tony…" she started to cough in his lap.
"Shhh…Zi I'm right here. They're close I can hear them," he held onto her tighter.
"My dad…ABBA!" she cried out.
Confused as hell, Tony looked around. Her father had just died... what the hell was happening?
"Zi…what are you talking about?" he kept looking around.
"I see my father! Tony….it's my time!" she began to cry and felt a huge pain go through her head as Tony held her head and her body altogether.
"What?! Ziva! No! You're staying right here with me!" Tony began to feel tears. He wasn't going to let her die. He couldn't.
"Tony… it hurts. I can't-" she cried. The sirens grew closer.
"You can! You're not leaving me Ziva! Stop focusing on that! Focus on something else! Like, like what were you about to tell me before this all happened! Come on! Tell me!" he didn't know what else to do. All he was worried about was her, dying, right now, in his arms.
"I….I…" she choked on her tears as the pain grew worse in her head and she cried out "I love you Tony,"
Tony began to cry. He held onto her tighter than he had ever held a woman before "I love you too Ziva," His tears fell and landed on her forehead. She felt them melt into her forehead and he placed his two lips on her forehead and kissed her. "Hold on, baby. I'm right here, I'm not leaving you. Not ever. I can't live without you." He kept placing small kisses on her forehead as the two of them cried in each other's presence.
Ziva looked up at Tony, her bright, glossy brown eyes. He touched her cheek and kissed her head again. She laid her head back down on his lap and her eyes closed.
"Zi… no baby, no." Tony cried harder as he tried to get her to speak and open her eyes again.
"ZIVA!" he yelled and kept shaking her to wake up, no answer or movement.
The paramedics arrived as Tony yelled and pulled open the car door helping him out. He didn't want to be helped out, he wanted Ziva out of that damn car now. Unhooking himself from the paramedics, he watched others rush to work on getting Ziva out of the car. Within a few minutes, they were cutting the passenger side door away to get out her leg. Her limp body fell into the hands of a paramedic who was treating the wound on her head. Tony stood watching them, feeling helpless and crying. A hand touched his back, he turned around to face Gibbs. Gibbs patted his back and stood with Tony to watch the paramedics. After five minutes, Ziva's lifeless body was picked up out of the car and placed on a stretcher. Tony rushed after the stretcher and paramedics, jumping into the ambulance with her.
As they arrived at the hospital, Gibbs ran to catch up with Tony and the paramedics with Ziva on the stretcher. Tony was still furiously crying. Gibbs had never seen him like this before, hell, he'd never thought he'd see Tony Dinozzo crying over a woman.
The paramedics led Ziva in her stretcher through the emergency room, when a doctor ran out. He took a hold of the stretcher and began to roll her down to the door which said "Operating Room".
Tony kept right up, he wasn't leaving her alone. The doctor opened the doors into the Operating Room and pushed Zivas stretcher inside. As Tony went to enter through the doors, one of the doctors pushed him back "You can't go in there, sir"
"Yeah, okay" Tony pushed right through the doctor and proceeded to go inside when another doctor stopped him.
"Sir, we need to get her into surgery right away. If you don't listen because you can't come in here, I'm going to call security,"
"I CAN'T LEAVE HER ALONE!" Tony shouted. Gibbs pulled Tony back as he lunged at the doctor.
"Dinozzo!" He grabbed Tony's arm.
"Security?! PLEASE! I'm an NCIS Agent! I can take them on! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see my Ninja!" The doors of the Operating Room closed.
"SHUT UP DINOZZO!" Gibbs pulled on his arm again, trying to lead him away from the doctors.
Tony banged on the doors of the Operating Room. The blood in his veins was pumping and his anger was building up. He couldn't think straight because all he wanted was for Ziva to be okay, but none of these asshole doctors would let him see her. He started to kick at the door, Gibbs yelling at him and pulling him away. Gibbs led him down into waiting room. A nurse came out and wrapped up Tony's hand which was still bleeding. Gibbs sat down into a chair and sighed.
"What the hell happened Dinozzo?" he looked up at his senior agent who was a mess.
"Boss, we were on our way back from the airport and we just were talking. She started crying about her dad and I had placed my hand on hers to comfort her. She was smiling at me as we held hands, Boss. The most beautiful smile I had ever seen," Tony began to choke up again "and she started to say 'Tony, I' and then all of a sudden that fucking car hit us. I tried to keep anything from hitting her," He showed his hand. "Then I must have blacked out for a few seconds because when I woke up neither of us were moving. I heard her talk and she started talking about how she saw her Dad and that it was her time to die and I freaked boss," Tony sat down, tears running down his face as he remembered the smile on Ziva's face… the last time he may ever see that smile again.
"Calm down Tony. Don't make yourself worse," Gibbs stared at his senior agent in disbelief.
Tony cried and held his face into his hands as he sat next to Gibbs in the waiting room. None of this should be happening is all he kept thinking. They just had an amazing time in Berlin together, he fell even more in love with her, which he didn't know was even possible. Gibbs and Tony stayed sitting in silence, Tony still crying.
