Tony walked into the bullpen and froze. He blinked twice. Walked back out of the bullpen and then back in. Mentally counted on his fingers.

"What are you doing, Tony?"

He raised an eye at his partner. "Wondering what you are doing here a week after getting out of the hospital."

Don't let no small frustration, Ever bring you down (no, no, no, no), Just take a situation, And turn it all around,

She shrugged. "I was bored,"

He stared at her. " You... you were fucking bored?!! So you hightailed it to NCIS to WORK when you are on BED rest for SIX WEEKS? Are you insane?!" He wanted to laugh. But he knew better.

With a new attitude everything can change, Make it how you want it to be, Staying mad, why do that, give yourself a break, Laugh about it and you'll see!

"No. Bored."

"Ziva, your body rejected the blood transfusion they gave you, you have stitches in your stomach and side. You have staples in your stomach to close it. I can see brusies on your hand from the IV they stuck you with. You've been out of the hospital a week. You can't be back at work yet."

"Yet, she is," McGee interruptted.

"I see that, probie," Tony rolled his eyes. "That's my point."

"I am perfectly fine to do desk work, Tony."

"Not according to your doctor, Ziva,"

"They are all quacks anyway,"

"Even Ducky?"

She frowned and shook her head. "That is not what I meant. I just mean that I know my own body, and they do not."

Gibbs came around the corner. "Gear up, dead body near the river," He paused and looked up. "McGee, gear up."

"Boss?" Tony asked with a frown. Gibbs shoved some papers at him.

"Family medical leave. Paid, five weeks, fill them out," He pointed to Ziva. "Take Ziva with you and do not let her come back here. You take care of her until then, you hear me, DiNozzo?"

Life's what you make it, So let's make it rock, Life's what you make it, So come on, come on, (everybody now)! Don't be sad, broken-hearted, There's so much to do (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Life's is hard, or it's party, The choice is up to you!

"Yes, boss," Tony said staring at the man.

"Gibbs, I am just fine! I can do desk work!" Ziva said, slowly standing and wincing as she did. Damned staples.

Gibbs didn't answer but stepped into the elevator. Ziva threw her hands up in frustration. "Do I have no say in this whatsoever?!"

Tony snorted. "Apparently not. Neither do I. All I have to do is sign these. Gibbs was obviously anticipating you coming back before you were allowed."

"I cannot just sit at home all day, Tony! I have nothing to do!"

With a new attitude everything can change, Make it how you want it to be, Staying sad, why do that, give yourself a break, I know you wanna party with me. Life's what you make it, So let's make it rock, Life's what you make it, So come on, come on, (everybody now)! Let's celebrate it, Join in everyone, You decide, Cause life's, What you make it

"You won't be bored. I promise. I'll be there to keep you company," he shook one of the papers to prove his point.

"So instead of being bored, I'll be utterly incapacitated and stuck watching movies of all kinds twenty four seven. Lovely," she said sarcastically.

Tony rolled his eyes, not bothering to comment. It was going to be a long five weeks.

Things are looking up, Anytime you want, All you gotta do is realize that, It's under your control, So let the good times rock and roll!

But, he vowed he was going to make the next five week torlerable for himself and for her. He wasn't going to let her be bored. He wouldn't make her watch movies either. He would find stuff for them to do. The time would fly by.

So.....now you all know what happened without me actually adding in the scene. If you want, I can add it as a oneshot, since it's already written out, but it didn't really add anything more to the story and I didnt want to put a "scared for Ziva" tony chapter again. Review? Thanks!
