Merry belated Christams y'all!
I hope you had a nice holidays. I'm glad I had some time to write over the holidays, but again the chapter is very short.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it anyways!
I do NOT own NCIS or the characters!
Chapter 3
Once again Ziva was standing in front of a door about to have a talk that might change everything.
She had gotten up at 4:00am to catch him at his house before he went to work.
She had left a note at Tony's place to tell him not to worry about her.
'I'll be back in a few, gotta talk to some people. See you tonight.
-Ziva
PS: I love you, too.'
Now Ziva was here, wondering whether she should knock on the door or not.
It seemed weird to knock, since she knew the door wouldn't be locked anyways.
After a few moments, Ziva took one last deep breath and carefully opened the door.
It was all quite and dark inside the house but Ziva knew where she would find him.
Just as she wanted to go down the stairs to the basement, a familiar voice said: "You're up early. I thought you wouldn't be here before 8:30."
Ziva smiled and went down into the basement. "Hello, Gibbs."
"Hey, Ziver." Gibbs turned around and welcomed her with a long hug. "How was your flight?"
Ziva took a step back from him. "Good. Yeah, it was good. Uhm, thanks... for not telling Tony that I'd come."
"Have you talked to him?"
"Yes." Ziva nodded. "There are still so many things we need to discuss, but I think we're gonna make it... And since we're not co-workers anymore..."
Gibbs interrupted her immediately. "This is not about me, Ziver. This is about you and Tony. There's nothing I could say or do if you really love each other. And I can see in your eyes that you do."
Ziva smiled again.
For a while no one said a word, until Ziva broke the silence. "You didn't tell me about Abby and McGee's daughter."
It was not actually a question, but Gibbs nodded and said: "I didn't want you to feel pressured to come back. I knew you would have come to see her and I thought it should be your decision."
Ziva was almost scared to ask, but she did it anyways. "Is there anything else you didn't tell me? Anything I should know?"
"There's a new agent on our team", Gibbs began and Ziva felt her heart drop. "Her name is Ellie Bishop, former NSA analyst. She's good."
When he saw the desperate look on her face, he added: "She's married. Her husband is also a nice guy. And besides, Tony didn't even look at another woman since you left."
Gibbs got up and walked over to her.
He kissed Zivas head and whispered: "Go home kid. Get some sleep. I'll see you later in the bullpen."
With these words he went up the stairs and just a few minutes later Ziva heard how the door closed and she was alone.
But instead of going back to Tonys appartment, she stood in Gibbs' house and sat down on his couch.
She knew it wouldn't bother Gibbs.
The time passed without that Ziva even realized it.
She waited until 8 before she called a cab to the Navy Yard.
That's it, I hope you like it :)
Please take a moment to leave some reviews :*
Oh, and there is something I wanted to ask:
I wrote a NCIS LA One Shot about Neric, and I'm considering to upload it here, but only if some people would actually read it. So please let me know if you want me to upload it and if you would read it.
xoxo, Sarah :*
