NCIS:
TONY, YOU HAVE TO DECIDE...
DISCLAIMER: NCIS and characters do not belong to me.
SUMMARY:
SOMETHING HAPPENS...NOW TONY IS IN A COMA.
Will he survive? Some of the chapters will be told from the members of the Gibbs team as they worry about Tony and ask him to come back.
The other chapters are Tony in a sort of dream while he is in a coma and receives a visitor.
A little different from what Gibbs went through...Tony will not be seeing what might have been, but will have a visitor helping him.
CHAPTER 4: TONY & KATE: ZIVA
Tony was still sitting at his desk and Kate was at the desk that had once been hers. He could not believe what he had just heard...Kate had been right.
It had echoed like someone talking over an intercom where he sat now.
Ziva sobbing very hard for him and the last part of what she said was still running through his mind.
"Come on, Tony, I need you and you told me once...that you could not live without me. Do not tell me that was a lie, because I cannot live without you.
NCIS needs your juvenile humor, the teamneeds...their brother, grandson and son. I need you for me, you have had my back, and now it is time...that I have yours. You have to wake up though. I will come back and talk to you later. Please, Tony, I know you can hear me. Come back to...me,"
That was the last thing Ziva had said and then it sounded like she had walked away.
"I told you that she really loves you, Tony. Now I want you to decide and don't think of me. I am dead, but you have a chance to live. Think before you even try to give up." Kate said as he looked at her.
"I met Ziva, just after you were killed and she was different. I was still hurting over losing you though. Then Ziva became a part of our team. We worked together for years after, I don't know what it was, but...I wasn't lying when I told her in Somalia that I couldn't live without her. I almost couldn't go on when I thought she died in when the Damocles Ship went down. The team had already lost; You...Director Shepard, the director who took over during while we were trying to solve your case and then just two years...almost three after she was killed, Two more years went by and we lost Gibbs' former boss and mentor, Mike Franks..." Tony told her as he stared across the Squad Room.
"Tony, I was a Federal Agent and before that worked with the Secret Service...protecting the President of the United States. Every day we put our lives out there to help people. You cannot think of who has been lost...You have to think of those who have been saved, brought home, and reunited with their families...Are you going to tell me that just because you have lost and hurt so much...You are willing to spend the rest of your life alone and unhappy. What do you do every night when you get home? Not the full details, what do you think of? I know you have been out with many women, but you never let them mean anything to you. I know Ziva does mean something to you and you just heard her." Kate said.
"I know, I go out on dates and a lot of times when I'm home I'll watch a movie..." Tony began.
"Alone? Tony, you remember movie references to put into your life everyday...so you don't have to face what's in front of you..." Kate told him.
"What's in front of me? Kate, every day I go to work, and we go out in the field, that's what's always in front of me." Tony told her.
"No, Tony...Ziva has been there for the past six and a half years in front of you. You two in your own ways have told each other how much you care. Never once has either of you come out and said those words or taken that chance. That stalemate has to break, so you can be happy. One of you has to break it...Why not you?" Kate asked and Tony knew she was right.
"Why are you here to help me?" Tony asked.
"Because face it, DiNozzo, you need help. You need to understand that they all love you and need you. You just told me that when you thought Ziva was dead you almost could not go on and you just heard her say the same thing. Think of how…Abby, McGee, Ducky, and Gibbs must feel right now. If you die, how would they feel? Yes, they would survive and eventually move on. It is a part of life that when someone dies, we feel the pain and then move on. Do you really want NCIS to lose another great Agent or the team that you consider your family to lose a family member? Stop holding onto me and stop holding onto what you have lost. Wake up and move forward to a future you can have." Kate told him.
Tony looked all around the Squad Room, before once again his eyes settled on her.
