Hi Hi! ok, so i've been writing this story for the Mentalist and I needed a break. I hope you like it. it's my first NCIS fic as well as my first attempt at a one shot.

Disclamer: me: "please!"

randome chick: "Never! i called them first!"

oh well, mabey next time. but for now I don't own NCIS

Tony still held Ziva in his arms as they got on the plane. He was still in wonderment that she was alive. Tony led Ziva to a seat and was surprised to feel her clutching on to him, refusing to let go. The flight attendant lady walked up. "I'm sorry ma'am, you need to get in your own seat." Tony glared.

"Let her be." He growled.

"I'm sorry sir but she…" Gibbs placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I know you're just doing your job but these two have been through hell. These two are like son and daughter to me so I don't give a damn about rules. Let her be or I'll do something about it!" Gibbs yelled and the lady quickly backed off.

It was then that everything had hit Ziva. She was alive. She was going home, more than anything; she was with Tony and her family. That's right, these people were her family. Gibbs was the protective, loving, and wonderful father she never had. Tim was the geeky but loving brother. Abby was the crazy, bubbly, Goth sister that doubled as her absolute best friend. Ducky was the grandfather with a hundred stories to tell. And Tony was… well she didn't know where Tony fit in but all she knew was she loved him more than she ever loved anyone. All this booming on her at once made her, in her vary vulnerable state, clutch Tony tighter and cry.

"Shhh Zee… I got you. Its ok, I'm right here. I won't let you go…" Tony continued to sooth Ziva while rubbing her back and placing soft kisses on her head. She just clutched his shirt tighter if possible. Eventually the tears stopped and she fell asleep in Tony's lap. Eventually he fell asleep too.

He woke up to her crying silently. He was not good with crying girls, especially a crying Ziva. He wasn't use to seeing Ziva in such a vulnerable state. Ziva was his super crazy ninja chick. He was furious at the people who did this to her. Nonetheless, he rubbed her back and continued to whisper soothing words in her hair.

"Tony?" Ziva croaked.

"Yah Zee" Tony asked, surprised as this was the first thing she had said since getting on the plane.

"Thank you." She whispered.

"I wasn't the only one who was there you know." He told her.

"No, but you probably thought of it. Thank you for never giving up, thank you for being here." She told him.

"Ziva, there is no place I would rather be. You guys are my family and the family isn't complete without my crazy beautiful ninja chick. " He told her and she fell asleep for the first time without nightmares. He looked at this wonderful woman, his life, his secret love, his Ziva…

Tim and Gibbs watched the two from across the aisle. The two had fallen asleep and were even holding hands.

"Do you think they'll ever figure it out?" Tim asked.

"I don't know but if they don't I'm going to head slap Tony for not doing something and Ziva for being so oblivious."Gibbs told him. He never thought Tony would wait so long. Then again, Ziva really changed him.

"But boss what about-" Tim started.

"Some rules are meant to be broken. I just hope he's not too late. That place really broke her." Gibbs shook his head. Ziva would never be the same.

"Don't worry boss, something tells me that this plane ride will be the start of a change." Tim said staring at the two. Yes, this whole trip changed those two.

so? like it? just tell me. revew and i'll be your best friend! well, not you if your a stalker or something but otherwise...
