xox

Tony DiNozzo sat in Bethesda's emergency trauma unit. He had his head placed in his hands, his once white crisp shirt now stained with blood and his suit jacket thrown on the chair next to him. He waited for his partner, his love to come out of surgery, she had flat lined twice during the ride there. Two times. Two times her heart had stopped. Two times she had been physically dead. Tony couldn't cope with the very possible thought of loosing his partner. He needed her. Like a fire needs oxygen, like trees need water, it was cliché, but so very true. She was the only thing that kept him stable, the only person he could tell his deepest and most personal secrets.

"Family of Ziva Day-vid?" A doctor still with his surgery cap and scrubs on asked. Tony, and the rest of the team stood up and looked at the man.

"Dah-veed" He said quietly.

"I'm sorry?" The doctor asked

"You say it Dah-veed" Tony replied slightly irritated

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Dr Simon Baker. I operated in Miss Dah-veed." He told them

"Is she okay?" Abby said hurriedly, wanting to know if one of her best friends was ok.

"Miss Dah-veed made it through surgery, but she has lost a lot of blood. So much so her brain was starved of oxygen. She is currently in a coma. When she wakes up its possible she could either have slight brain damage or amnesia. We will know the full extent of her injuries when she wakes ups." Dr Baker replied grimly.

"So... she'll have brain damage?" McGee asked wearily

"I'm afraid we won't know this till she wakes up." The doc said, he carried on,

"But in the time being, you can see her. She's up in ICU room 12. But only one at a time I'm afraid." He stated then started walking off.

Tony let out a breath. She was alive, at least. But she could brain damage, or even amnesia. Ziva. His Ziva. She was always so brave, but now she wasn't in control.

"Abs you can go first if you want." Tony whispered, still staring at the floor. He wanted them to go first, so he could stay there with her nod not leave.

"Are you sure Tony?" Abby sniffed. He nodded and Abby made her way over to the ICU as Tony fiddled with his hands, nervous to see her.

After Abby, McGee went and then Gibbs. Then finally it was Tony's turn. He had no intention to leave that room once he was in. He slowly made his way up to room 12 in ICU and carefully turned the door knob. The door smoothly opened to reveal a very pale Ziva swarmed in a large bed and a nose tube hooked up. The heart rate monitor beeped steadily, soothing Tony that his partner was still here. Tony made his way over to Ziva's left side and sat on the hard white plastic chair next to her bed. He took her hand and ran his thumb over it.

"Oh Ziva..." He sighed brokenly. Tony couldn't believe this was happening again. That she was hurt again. Fate was not looking out for Ziva., and Tony had tried to look out for her, but failed yet again. She looked so peaceful yet distressed. The door swinging open interrupted Tony's thoughts, and a nurse walked in. She was a dirty blonde, late thirties and a bit on the chubby side. She looked over and smiled sadly at Tony, he attempted to return the smile, but failed considering his current situation. She walked over to Ziva's side and started checking her vitals and started to make conversation with Tony.

"I'm the one that's been looking after Ziva so far. I'm Sophie." The nurse greeted. Tony flashed back to his and Ziva's undercover mission 5 years ago. The times where the sexual tension was unbearable, the times where they had no regard of personal space. In some aspects he missed those times, simpler. He broke out of his thoughts to reply to Sophie.

"I'm Tony, her partner" He replied, then cleared his throat.

"You know, she can hear you. If you talk to her, it might make her feel safer to know where she is, she'll hear you now, but probably not remember what you said when she wakes up, but she'll hear you know." Sophie advised

Tony nodded, taking in the information.

They sat in silence until she finished and left, and Tony went back to stroking her hand softly.

"Hey Zi. Er, well your in hospital, you have a pretty bad injury, their not sure when your going to wake up, but well please wake up soon, for me. And McGee, yano McGee is missing you too." Tony sighed and rubbed his free had over his face.

5 days later

Tony hadn't left Ziva's bed in days. There was no change in her condition, which could be classed as good and bad. He only left when he really needed to go to the toilet and that's it. He wouldn't get up to eat, so team Gibbs brought him some food everyday. Everyone had visited Ziva over the past few days, offering to sit with her while Tony went home and slept properly, but her always refused.

Gibbs walked into Ziva's hospital room with a fresh cup of coffee. Tony was slouched with his head on Ziva's bed but he was still holding her hand. He knew when Ziva woke up Tony wouldn't waste anytime in telling her how he feels, if he hadn't done it already.

"DiNozzo go home" Gibbs barked. Tony jumped up in surprise and relaxed when he realized it was just Gibbs. He rubbed his tired face and sat up straight whilst stretching.

"Can't boss, I need to stay here." Tony replied tiredly

"No DiNozzo you've been here 5 days straight. Me and McGee will be here while you go get changed and have a shower-" Tony started to shake his head "-No DiNozzo, this is a order, Ziva wouldn't want to see you like this anyway." He stated.

Tony nodded and got up, knowing there was no arguing with his boss. He would be as quick as he could and get right back here to be with Ziva in case she wakes up. He left the hospital and got into his car, on autopilot he was that tired.

He arrived home and got into the shower. The warm waves soothe his aching back and make him feel fresh and less tired than he was feeling before. He rubbed his tired muscles with his shower jel, wiping away any stench of hospital still on him. Tony turned off the shower and wrapped a fluffy white towel around his waist, blow-drying his hair afterwards. He was in the middle of buckling his belt when his phone started ringing, he reached over to his dresser and picked his phone off of it and flipped it open, and shoved it to his ear.

"Yeah, DiNozzo"

"Tony, it's Ziva..." McGee whispered.
