1 Month Later
A month had passed since tony got shot, he was currently in rehab and he was doing well, due to the fact that the bullet didn't hit anything vital he was set to return to work at the end of the week on desk duty.
No one except Gibbs knew about tony and Ziva seeing each other, and they intended to keep it that way, at least for the time being. Gibbs could see that Ziva was distracted while tony was away, she was worried and had every right to be. Some days he would give her the afternoon off to go and see him, of course he didn't let on to anyone that she was seeing tony or the others may get suspicious.
Tony was set to return to work on the Friday of the current work, that way there would be paperwork to do and he would have a rest over the weekend. Ziva strode into his room at 4.30 on Wednesday afternoon "hello, my little hairy butt, how are you feeling?" she asked, "id be better if I got a kiss from you sweetcheeks" he added, Ziva chuckled, his injury certainly didn't stop him, she leant over and gave him a peck on the lips, she couldn't help but noticed that he sneaked a look down her shirt as she bent down, "anymore of that, and I won't kiss you at all" she said playfully, tony pouted. "I am going to go and speak to Dr. James, I want to see when he thinks you will be able to walk on that" she indicated at his thigh, and walked out of the room.
"Dr. James" she called, "may I speak to you about tony please" the doctor stopped "you are his partner at NCIS right?" Ziva smiled and extended her hand "Ziva David, I am also Tony's girlfriend" she added. Dr. James told her that tony would be able to come off desk duty in a couple of weeks, but he couldn't run or do any 'strenuous' activities until he was off the crutches in a months time. Ziva thanked the Doctor and returned to Tony's room to deliver the news, she began "you can come off desk duty in a couple of weeks, but no running and no sex" tony groaned, "how will I survive?" he asked, "You'll manage" Ziva added giving him a more passionate kiss. As they pulled away, she was reluctant to tell him that she had to go, she wanted to stay but she had been invited to dinner at Ducky's place with the team. Tony stared at her ass in the tight pants she was wearing as she exited the room.
When she arrived at Ducky's her and Gibbs were the only ones there. Gibbs knew where she'd been and questioned her about it while Ducky was getting the roast out of the oven, she told him everything except the part about no sex, she didn't want Gibbs to know about her sex life, Gibbs sensed there was something she wasn't telling him, but taking a guess as to what it was about, left it alone. Abby, McGee and palmer arrived shortly after this conversation and they all sat down to dinner. The team spent the night conversing about various topics. After the dinner dishes had been cleared away, Abby asked "has anyone been to see tony?" when is he able to come back?" Gibbs looked to Ziva, "I have been Abby" Ziva stated before quickly adding "he needed some more clothes and Gibbs and McGee were both busy, the doctor told me that he is happy with tony returning to work on Friday and he can come off desk duty in a couple of weeks." McGee was confused, he had never been asked to get tony some clothes from the apartment, and as far as he knew no one on the team had the keys to his apartment. He left it alone for the time being, but intended to talk to Abby about it later.
Thursday passed slowly, they only had paperwork to do, Ziva sighed, she hated paperwork. She was keen to get home and get a nice filling meal ready for when tony got home from the rehab centre later this night. She was picking him up at 7, and she wanted the meal to be ready and just need heating up by then. Ziva walked out of NCIS at 5, she still had paperwork to do, but that could wait till tomorrow. McGee noticed her leave and went down to talk to Abby, as he walked into her lab he turned her music right down, "abs" he began "you know how Ziva said she had to get clothes for tony and Gibbs and I were both busy?" she thought for a moment, "yeah, wait, what are you getting at Timmy?" she asked, McGee continued "I was never asked to get clothes for tony and none of us have been that busy recently, you don't think…Ziva's seeing him for other reasons, do you?" Abby pondered that thought for a while, "Maybe, I mean it's obvious that they had feelings for each other for quite a while, but Gibbs wouldn't allow it, would he? And – wait, what if he doesn't know, when do you think it happened?" "Abby!" McGee stopped her ramblings, "we don't even know if they are together, they may not be and he may have just needed clothes" McGee knew that those two being together was quite likely, but the idea of his two friends, sleeping together. He found it a bit, awkward and would rather not think about it. Oh well, he thought, well know eventually.
Ziva had just taken the pasta sauce off the stovetop when she looked at the clock, she had to pick up tony in 20 minutes, and she had just enough time to change before picking him up. She quickly changed into some black pants and a black long sleeve shirt, as she walked out the door she put her cobalt coat on and grabbed Tony's keys, she would take his car as it had much more room than hers and would be easier to get into.
She strode into the rehab centre and signed the papers before leading tony out to the car, a few nurses helped get his bags and place them into the car. Ziva helped him get in before striding around to the drivers door. She got in and turned the key, tony grabbed her arm, they both leant in and their lips met, they shared an intimate kiss before Ziva drove them to her apartment. She served dinner and they decided to watch a movie afterwards, tony decided on Pirates of the Caribbean. Tony and Ziva lay on the couch together, Ziva in front and tony behind with his arm around her waist. As they movie began tony said, "Zi, you remember the first time you and I talked about this movie and you thought that Johnny Depp was a pirate?" she whacked him lightly in the ribs, "do not remind me" she said, tony laughed as he slowly moved his hand up from her waist until it was resting on her left breast, she smiled, "tony, we cant do this, doctors orders." Tony sighed, "no the doctor said no sex, he didn't say I couldn't do this" he leant down and passionately kissed her, he gradually made his down her neck, planting a single kiss every inch or so, he was on top of her by this time and they began making out again, he began unbuttoning her pants when she stopped him, "tony, doctors orders" she said, tony pouted like a small child before sitting back and watching the movie.
R&R Please :)
