Okay hope you are still reading!
When Gibbs and McGee finally got Tony's hand separated from Ziva's, Tony stirred a little and mumbled Ziva's name. Gibbs just gave him a small "Shh" and proceeded to load him in the back seat.
They arrived at Tony's apartment and Gibbs and McGee got him out of the car and took him to his apartment. Gibbs searched Tony's pockets and found his keys and unlocked his door. Gibbs and McGee took him to his bed and undressed him until he was in his boxers and his dress shirt. Gibbs and McGee left and went to their homes.
Tony woke the next morning and look at his alarm that read 3:37 AM. Then he remember what happened and a whole new wave of regret and grief washed over him. He searched his apartment and found a pen and paper and began writing.
He woke at 7 AM and found that he had a pen and paper on him. He had fallen asleep while writing.
Promptly, his phone rang. He reached into his pockets of his pants that were on the floor and answered
"DiNozzo" He gruffly said.
"Tony, I'm giving you this week off. If you need more time, tell me okay. Don't get overly drunk" Gibbs said.
Before Gibbs hung up, Tony yelled "Wait, Gibbs, who's planning the funeral?"
"Me. Why?" That was usual Gibbs. Straight to the point.
"I was wonder if I could sing a song at her funeral?"
"I think she'd like that. Now go get some sleep!"
"But-" before he could finish, Gibbs hung up.
2 Days Later
It was now the day of her funeral and Tony got a shower and headed to her funeral.
"Now would you please give all your attention to the man on the piano" Gibbs said.
"This is a song I wrote right after she died. It is called 'Now Comes the Night'" He slowly began
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
and you will not be alone
No you will not be alone
And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid
When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
And I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down
Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains
So jus slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Till the end of our days
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
and you will not be alone
No you will not be alone
No matter what, dead or alive, he still wanted to make sure that she knew she will not be alone. He would keep that promise forever and always.
So how did you like it? As I said before the song is "Now Comes the Night" by Rob Thomas. He wrote it, not Anthony DiNozzo.
