Roy walked into the operating room and found Ziva sitting on the table. He walked over and sat next to her.
"You need to go back, you know that right?"
"I know"
"Then why are you still here?" He asked quietly.
"I do not know"
"What's stopping you?"
"It is just; I keep wondering if it would be easier too just stay here. I know I should go back, but it is just too hard."
"Listen; if you don't go back the team will fall apart. They can't handle loosing you as well. I know you think that they think of you as Kate's replacement, but you're not. You're you. Part of the family. If you don't go back they will never be the same."
"I know all this and I have already made my decision. But would it be so bad if I stayed here with you?" She said turning to face him more. He smiled slightly.
"You know you need to go home"
"I will miss you" She said softly as they leaned towards each other. They kissed softly, but before it could be anymore Roy broke the kiss, leaving their foreheads against each others.
"So, what's it like kissing a dead guy?" He asked in a whisper. Ziva chuckled slightly.
"Very good"
Kate, Ari and Tali all appeared around the table.
"Whatever your decision is, were here for you ok?" Tali said.
Ziva looked at Roy and smiled "I am going to go back, but you have to answer me one thing."
"What is it?" Ari asked.
"Is all this real?"
"I dunno" Kate smiled "It's your afterlife"
Ziva just smiled and shook her head.
"Go home Ziva, they're waiting for you" Roy said.
"Tell Agent Gibbs I say hello" Ari said.
"Tell everyone I say hi" Kate paused "And tell them I'm ok"
"I will but they might think I am crazy"
"Oh they will, maybe not Tony though" Tali smirked.
Ziva went and hugged her sister "Shut up" She laughed.
"Ok, I should go, Goodbye"
Ziva closed her eyes and everything started to spin.
Operating room.
"Ok, she's in the clear for now, let's close her up" The Doctor said happily.
Dr. Bailey walked into Tony's room, she cleared her throat and everyone looked at her.
"She's out of surgery now, but the next 48 hours are crucial"
Everyone sighed in relief. Natalie looked up at Tony and said "I told you"
