Chapter .2.
Hospital
5 weeks later
Ziva was sitting by Tony's bedside, like she has been doing everyday and night for 5 long weeks. And he still hadn't woken up; Ziva has been talking to him trying to get him to wake up. So had everyone else, McGee, Abby and Palmer had been staying with her most nights, even Fornell had come by a couple of times to check on him. There had been no breaks in who ran Tony off the road, the team had been looking into it when Vance told them to stop and focus on other cases. But that hadn't stopped the team into looking into it on their own time.
Abby had also tried locating Gibbs and Ducky with little luck, until she was forced to give up and focus on helping Ziva, who found out she was pregnant, just four weeks ago. When she found out she was a mess, know one could calm her down. She kept saying she needed Tony, over and over again. It took her a whole day to calm down enough for the team to help her. She went to a doctor's appointment and found out she was a month along. She was excited but nervous at the same time. The whole team knew what she needed and what she needed was Tony to wake up and be ok.
Ziva was asleep by Tony's bed, when some one touched her hand waking her up. Ziva bolted up right and heard someone trying to speak to her. Ziva turns her head to Tony, whose brilliant emerald green eyes were looking at her.
"Oh my God, Tony, Your awake", Ziva exclaims, throwing her arms around him. She heard him grunt, "Sorry"
Tony tried saying something, but nothing came out. Ziva realizing this and called for help. The doctor and nurses come running in.
"What's the matter?" the doctor asks
"He's awake and having trouble speaking", Ziva replies
"Good to see you awake Agent DiNozzo. Your wife has been very concerned about you. Mrs. DiNozzo will you give us a minute?"
"Yes of course, I have to let the others know he's awake", Ziva says, "I'll be right back. I love you"
Ziva walks out of the room and into the waiting room dialing McGee's number.
"McGee"
"Tim, He's awake, Tony's awake", Ziva exclaims
"Really he's awake. That's great news we will be right over", says McGee
"See you soon", Ziva replies hanging up, as the doctor approaches her.
"Well how is he?" Ziva asks
"He will be ok. I have the nurse taking him for a scan at the moment. It looks like he is having trouble speaking. We hope that he will regain use of his voice but it might be awhile", says the doctor
"Thank you doctor. When will he be back?"
"He should be back from the scan any minute now. I'll have the nurse come and get you when it's aright for you to return"
"Thanks", Ziva replies
15 minutes later the nurse comes out and says it's all right to go back in.
"We have given him a white board and maker, so he can communicate with everyone", the nurse says
"Thank you", Ziva, says
As she enters the room she sees Tony looking at her and he monitions her forward with one hand.
"Are you all right", he writes
"Yes I'm alright. I have news for you. You are going to be a daddy", Ziva says with a smile.
She looks at Tony and he has a huge grin on his face.
"Really?"
"Yes, I found out four weeks ago"
"How far along are you?"
"Now I'm about 2 months along and my doctor says everything is ok", says Ziva, "I love you very much Tony and I've missed you like crazy"
"I Love you too and I'm sorry I worried you"
"Do you know who did this to me?"
"No we don't, that reminds me, the others will be here any minute, they have been so worried about you", says Ziva softly
"Is Gibbs and Ducky with them?"
"I'm so sorry, we don't know where they are. Abby has been trying to find them but she hasn't had any luck", Ziva says, wishing she give him better news.
Before he gets a chance to reply, they hear a squeal.
"Oh my god Tony, I have missed you so much", squeals Abby, throwing her arms around him, and he groans in pain.
Hearing his friend's groan of pain, McGee approaches Abby and pries her of him, "Sorry Tony, we tried to calm her down", says McGee looking apologetic.
"I'm sorry I hurt you Tony, but it's so good to have you back", says Abby
"We're missed you Tony", says Palmer
"Guy's Tony is having trouble speaking. So he has to write what he wants to say down", explains Ziva
"Hey guys, I'm sorry I worried you"
"It's alright Tony. We are glad you are back", says McGee
They spend the next hour catching up, when Tony falls asleep, the other's continue talking quietly to themselves. Saying how glad they were to have Tony back…
Meanwhile across the country
"Duck, we have tried every hospital in California. Where else could she be?" asks Gibbs
"Che may have been taken, so she wouldn't have gotten proper medical attention", replies Ducky
He sighs, "We have to find her Duck. We just have to"
"I know Jethro, and we won't give up until we find her", Ducky replies, looking at his heart broken friend, praying that they would find her in time…
