6 hours later Ziva was sitting next to Abby in the ward waiting for her to wake up. The doctors had said that she had collapsed for lack of food and sleep, and needed to rest. Ziva had not left Abby's side for even a second. If one of the nurses asked her to move, or tell her to get some air. She would give them such a look that even Gibb's would cringe at, and say "I am not leaving her!"she had already called Gibbs and told him what was wrong and he had insisted on coming up, but ziva told him strongly that abby was fine and that she would call if any thing happened. Now ziva was staring at the sleeping Abby thinking about how beautifully peaceful she looked just lying there.
"Mmmmmmh" Abby mumbled and Ziva jumped up to reach her.
"Abby?" ziva asked "It's alright we are in the hospital you collapsed in your lab"
"Ziva? Ziva where are you?" Abby mumbled trying to locate the Israeli women.
"I"m here" Ziva said taking her hand. "you had me so worried Abigail."
"I'm sorry" Abby replied
"There is nothing to be sorry for Abby" Ziva said stroking the side of Abby's face. "Abby may i tell you something?"
"Yes Ziva you can." Abby nodded
"I...I love you Abigail. more then any thing in the world, when i found you lying on the floor. I thought i was going to loose you" Abby sat there stunned at Ziva's sudden confession "Abby? Abby say something." Ziva said sounding worried.
"I love you too Zee" Abby said with tears running down her face. Ziva leaned closer to the goth and whispered in her ear "you are my world now Abigail." the last thing Ziva remembers is feeling Abby's lips crushing hers. Thats when her world became perfect.
