A/N: OMG! Guys! I am SOOOOOOOOO sorry! I suck :( ! In all honesty, I have been busy and some… drama has been going on. But I am thinking of a happy chapter now. I had a rough day but my music is totally helping me right now. Again, I so apologize. I missed you guys! :)

Disclaimer: Ummm.. I had a valentine. I got candy, balloons, and a dragon :D but I own nothing else :/

PREVIOUSLY ON 'HELP!'

Samantha turned to Ziva. "Ziva, I am losing my father. I can't do this!" She sobbed.

Ziva wrapped her arms around Samantha "Shhh. Samantha, he will be ok." To be honest, Ziva was not even confident that he was going to make it.

Samantha sighed "Ziva, I can hear your thoughts. Don't lie to me. "

Ziva said "I have been through much more in my life."

Samantha looked confused. "What have you been through?"

Ziva took a deep breath. She had never told anybody this story. Not even Tony. And she plans on him never finding out. "I was raped in Somalia."

Samantha whipped her head up fast. She was raped? Did she hear her correctly? "You were raped in Somalia?" Samantha was stunned.

Ziva nodded her head in shame. "Yes. Multiple times. I tried to fight back but it was just so many of them."

Samantha was still in shock. She felt her blood boil. 'How dare they! Touch Ziva! If I was Tony, I would have gladly beat him to death. And then shoot them.'

Ziva saw Samantha get defensive. Samantha and herself have gotten very close these past few days. "Samantha, what are you thinking?" Ziva asked curiously, even if she already knew the answer.

Samantha got up quickly, "How DARE they touch you Ziva! If I knew you back then… I would have GLADLY rescued you and killed them all. That is just not right!" Samantha ranted

Ziva grabbed Samantha's hand and led her back to her seat. "Now I need you to make me a promise." Ziva said

"What?" Samantha asked curiously

"I need you to promise me that you will NOT tell Tony. He does not even know that they raped me. When they ran the test in the hospital, I made sure that that they wouldn't tell the team. The only person who knows is Director Vance when he saw my file." Ziva stated. Samantha's jaw dropped

"You haven't told Tony yet? Ziva, It's has been what, 3 years?" Samantha asked

Ziva sighed "Yes. Please do not tell him." She begged.

Samantha nodded and said "Ok."

AROUND MID-AFTERNOON

Tony was released from the hospital around 2. He was very happy about that. Ziva and Tony decided that Samantha and Marcus needed a break from all of the madness. So they decided to go this karaoke bar. Marcus knew that Samantha could sing and so can he. And Samantha knew that Ziva could sing. She wasn't too sure about Tony.

After they were seated, they sat in silence. So much has happened the past 24 hours. Samantha was feeling stressed for her parents but she is glad that Tony was feeling better and he was alive. They ordered their food and they started talking. Just about stuff in general. Then about 5 minutes later, you heard the announcer seeing if there was any takers to sing karaoke. Marcus gave an encouraging look to Samantha. Samantha turned and rolled her eyes and got up.

"I will go Sir." Samantha said and smiled.

The man smiled and gave Samantha the microphone "Go 'head little lady." Samantha smiled.

Samantha chose a song and smiled at her selection as the beginning started.

Come take my hand

I won't let you go

I'll be your friend

I will love you so deeply

I will be the one to kiss you at night

I will love you until the end of time

Ziva and Tony had no clue that Samantha could sing. And she sounded amazing at that. She looked like she was having a great time on stage and she showed no fear. Marcus just smiled. Seeing his little star on stage is always fun to watch. If she's happy, he's happy.

I will be your baby

Promise not to let you go

Love you like crazy

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Samantha was having a ball on stage. She loved performing in front of crowds. She started dancing to the music and thought of the routine she did to the song.

Take you away from here

There's nothing between us but space and time

I'll be your own little star

Let me shine in your world

Be your own little universe

Make me your girl

Marcus smiled at that last line. That is exactly what he did. She was his best friend. He looked at Tony and Ziva and saw that they were staring at each other. He shook his head and smiled. 'I need Samantha to dedicate a song to them'. He thought.

Come take my hand

I won't let you go

I'll be your friend

I will love you so deeply

I will be the one to kiss you at night

I will love you until the end of time

I will be your baby

Promise not to let you go

Love you like crazy

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Marcus will never let Samantha go. If he could help it, he would be with her forever.

Samantha saw Tony and Ziva smiling at her and at each other. 'Mmm. Maybe I could dedicate a song to them'. She thought.

Baby, come on

Get up on this

Show me that you really want it

I wanna be the one to love you

Baby lets go (Whoa)

Lets go (Whoa)

I wanna provide

This loving that you're giving

I aint frontin' in this love, oh

Can you let me love you from your head to toe

Baby lets go

Boy come to me (come to me)

Let me turn your rain into sun (come to me, baby)

You don't have to worry

I Promise I'll set your heart free

Let my love run to your soul

You go

I Go

We Go

That's all she wrote

That's exactly what Samantha does in Marcus's life. Any bad day he has, she can make it one of the best days of his life.

While Samantha was singing, Tony was having similar thoughts about Ziva. To him, she can turn a horrible day into a beautiful one.

Samantha was singing this song with emotion. She absolutely loved this song. She was willing to do anything for Marcus when he is having a rough day.

Say you'll

Say say

You'll Ne-Never

Say you'll

Say say

You'll Ne-Never

Say you'll

Say say

You'll Ne-Never

Say you'll

Say say

You'll Ne-Never

Can't you see me?

I just wanna love you

Can't you feel me, babe?

I just wanna be with you

I just wanna live for you

I'll never let you go

Bring your love to me

Ziva felt the same way. She just wants to be with Tony.

Come take my hand

I won't let you go

I'll be your friend

I will love you so deeply

I will be the one to kiss you at night

I will love you until the end of time

I will be your baby

Promise not to let you go

Love you like crazy

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Say you'll never let me go

Samantha finished the song and she got a standing ovation. Who knew that such a small person could sing so well? Samantha bowed and smiled.

The announcer said "You must go again! You can take a friend up if you want." Samantha smiled because she knew exactly who she was bringing up there with her.

"Oh Zivaaaaaaa! C'mon on up here!" Samantha said excitedly

Marcus shook his head and started chuckling. He knew her plan. Ziva looked shocked but got up to the stage. She hasn't sung in about 4 years in front of a crowd.

The announcer gave Ziva an extra microphone as Samantha came back from choosing a song.

As the song began, Ziva realized that she knew the song.

Boy you'll be the death of me

You're my James Dean

You make me feel like I'm seventeen

You drive too fast, you smoke too much

But that don't mean a thing

'cause I'm addicted to the rush

Everytime Ziva came near Tony, her stomach gets butterflies. She feels like she is in high school all over again. A giddy school girl seeing her crush walking down the hallway.

'Cause I rather die young

Than live my life without you

I rather not live at all

Than live my life without you

Ziva never thought that she would be here today. Without Tony, she would have been dead by the time she turned 30. She appreciated having someone in her life that cares about her so much.

You know I've been in love before

You're the first one ever seen

That burns like gasoline

So light a match, turn off the lights

I'm holding on to you

'cause this might be a last night, oh

'Cause I rather die young

Than live my life without you

I rather not live at all

Than live my life without you

She has been with Rivkin and Ray. And Ziva knows that he could not stand either one of them. Sometimes, she just wants to hug him and never let him go.

What I'm telling you

I'm giving you my life, it's in your hands

And what I'm gonna do

Is be a woman and you can be a man

And I wanna say

Nobody understands what we've been through

I rather give up everything

Than to live my life without you

Nobody understands what Tony and Ziva went through. They have been through many rough patches together and yet, they maintain the best partnership at NCIS. They are not just work partners, they are life partners.

Also, nobody understands what Marcus and Samantha went through. They have been through so much together and not just basic stuff that can be fixed, real life adult stuff.

During the break of the song, Samantha and Ziva looked at each other. They both seemed happy. Singing to the ones they love. By now, all of the couples were dancing to this song.

Oh!

Oh!

'Cause I rather die young

Than live my life without you

I rather not live at all

Than live my life without you

By the time they finished, the crowd again was back on their feet. They sounded great together and the audience could tell that the song was dedicated to someone special in their lives.

Ziva and Samantha bowed and smiled proudly. Marcus and Tony were beaming. Seeing their girls on stage was just breathtaking. Tony never knew that Ziva could sing.

Samantha and Ziva walked back to their seats and they were greeted by hugs. "You guys sounded great!" Tony and Marcus said together.

Ziva and Samantha smiled "Thank you." They said together.

After all of the singing, Samantha and Ziva were hungry. They quickly devoured their food while watching others sing. It was enjoyable to watch.

When Ziva and Samantha finished, Tony paid and they all left. They were going to headquarters to see if they have anything and to get some information from Samantha (like how was Carlos related to Samantha's father, why did he do it, etc.)

AROUND 8 O'CLOCK THAT EVENING

After Abby heard that Ziva could sing, she demanded a song. Ziva agreed because there was no point fighting with Abby. She was going to win anyway. After everything was finished, They all met in Abby's lab.

Samantha dragged Ziva down to Abby's lab excited of what the song she chose. Samantha was told she could sing after Ziva if she wanted. Samantha declined saying that it was Ziva's time to shine.

For some reason, Abby had an epiphany to dress Ziva up. So Abby left NCIS with Samantha and went over to Ziva's house to look for a dress. To their surprise, she has this one beautiful red dress. It has a shiny collar in the front and it flows straight down. And the back is backless. Abby and Samantha smiled and said "She is so wearing this dress."

Abby and Samantha drove back in a hurry. They got her make-up and everything ready for her. When Samantha got to Abby's lab, she yelled "ABBY! She's here! Get her ready and I will get everybody else." Abby nodded and got started on Ziva.

Samantha ran up to the bullpen out of breath. "Man, I must start working out some more." Marcus chuckled. "Sam, you go to the gym and tumble everyday." Sam shrugged "So?" Marcus just shook his head and chuckled again.

Samantha, remembering what she came up to the bullpen to do she announced, "EVERYONE! IT'S A CONCERT DOWN IN ABBY'S LAB! TEAM GIBBS ONLY!" As she saw other teams staring at her funny.

Gibbs smirked. "When?"

Samantha smiled "Right now! Hurry! And bring everyone with you." And on that note, she ran to Autopsy to go tell Palmer and Ducky about Ziva singing.

Ducky and Palmer smiled. They did not know that Ziva could sing.

IN ABBY'S LAB

"So what song am I singing Abby?" Ziva asked.

"Dreaming by Beyonce. It is a beautiful song." Abby smiled as she did Ziva's eye shadow.

"I heard of that song before. Very beautiful. I know it by heart since I listen to that song often." Ziva said as she blushed.

Abby started laughing "Ziva, you are so cute. I can't wait to hear you sing! It will be so epic!" She said excitedly.

Ziva smiled "Thanks Abby. Let me go put on my dress." Ziva grabbed the dress and headed towards the back room.

As soon as Ziva left to get changed, everyone on Team Gibbs came down. They wouldn't miss this for the world.

Ziva came out a short time later looking absolutely stunning. McGee's, Tony's, and Palmer's jaw dropped. "Ziva, my dear you look beautiful." Ducky said with a smile. Ziva blushed and thanked him in response.

Samantha stood up to announce Ziva's performance. "Ladies and Gentlemen! We are gathered here today to hear our favorite ninja sing for us. The song is called Dreaming by Beyonce. Give it up for Miss Ziva David!" Everyone applauded laughing at Samantha's silliness. The song started to begin.

When I'm here in your arms I feel love in my heart, I can breathe

Not even pinchin' myself I don't care, I'm with you, you're with me

I never wished on the star when the star ain't got nothing on me

'Cause I can wish you in my dreams.

When I close my eyes I feel like I'm alive

'Cause I can fall asleep knowing that tonight you will be here with me,

Ohh.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I don't wanna know, (I don't wanna know)

'Cause I ain't 'bout to be without you babe, (without you babe) ohh.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I ain't letting go, (I ain't letting go)

'Cause everything I love is about you babe, about you babe

So I rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh,

If it's the only way to be with you then dreaming you is where I belong

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

Ziva smiled to herself. She knew she could not live without him. By him, she means Tony. When she dreams about Tony and herself together, she is in heaven. But when reality sinks in, life is completely boring.

I think the luckiest girl in the whole wide world could be me

I get be with the one that I love anytime I please

I feel like I can stay forever beyond eternity

Is like I'm where I'm supposed to be.

She is considered lucky. She is with the man she loves everyday. She is with the people she loves everyday. Not many people could say that. She is where she's supposed to be.

When I close my eyes I feel like I'm alive

'Cause I can fall asleep knowing that tonight you will be here with me,

Ohh.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I don't wanna know, (I don't wanna know)

'Cause I ain't 'bout to be without you babe, (without you babe) ohh.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I ain't letting go, (I ain't letting go)

'Cause everything I love is about you babe, about you babe

So I rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh,

If it's the only way to be with you then dreaming you is where I belong

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

It took a lot of time just to get to, to be with you baby

And now that I'm here with you I'm gonna take it in, breath you in

And if I'm dreaming let the dream be that I'm awake

'Cause I rather dream about you than be living life without me and you.

You

The problem is, she does not want to be dreaming, she wants here dream to become real. It took a long time to get where they are today. She rather be in her beautiful dream with Tony where nothing is wrong than be in cruel reality where he doesn't love her back.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I don't wanna know, (I don't wanna know)

'Cause I ain't 'bout to be without you babe, (without you babe) ohh.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I ain't letting go, (I ain't letting go)

'Cause everything I love is about you babe, about you babe

So I rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh,

If it's the only way to be with you then dreaming you is where I belong

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I don't wanna know, (I don't wanna know)

'Cause I ain't 'bout to be without you babe, (without you babe) ohh.

Let me know, if this is a dream,

Then I ain't letting go, (I ain't letting go)

'Cause everything I love is about you babe, about you babe

So I rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh,

If it's the only way to be with you then dreaming you is where I belong

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

Ziva finished the song and Team Gibbs was in awe. Who knew that their former Mossad assassin could sing beautifully? Marcus, being the silly person he is, said "WHOA! ZIVA! THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!" He faked sniffed. "That song made me wanna cry!" Team Gibbs laughed at him. Gibbs got up first and gave her a kiss on the forehead and whispered in her ear "That was beautiful Ziva." Ziva beamed in response.

Ducky was next. "My dear. That was marvelous! You should sing at my birthday party!" He joked. Ziva laughed and said "I will be there Ducky." And he gave her a hug.

Abby ran up to Ziva and squealed "OH MY GOSH! ZIVA THAT WAS GREAT! Why didn't you tell me that you sing? Beautifully at that! How long have you been singing? When is the last time you sung? Did you-" her sentence was cut off when McGee said "Abs, breathe. She will answer your questions shortly."

Tim went up to Ziva and gave her a brotherly hug. "That was absolutely beautiful Ziva. You have to sing more often." Ziva smiled and nodded. "I will think about it."

Tony was last. Wanting to save the best comment for last she supposed. He gave her a hug and a kiss on the crown of her brunette locks. "You look and sounded absolutely beautiful. You took my breath away." He said as they pulled away from their hug.

Ziva blushed "Thank you Tony." She reached up and kissed his cheek

Samantha walked in the room about to say something when she saw Ziva kiss his cheek. She thought 'A little to the left.' She smiled and she stepped back, waiting for something to happen. Someday they will realize it. Will it be tonight?

Tony smiled at Ziva. He eyed her lips and he was about to kiss her. Ziva saw this and met him halfway. They kissed and the kiss was like fireworks on the Fourth of July.

A/N: There! Long and fun. Oh, the first song is called 'End of Time' by Beyonce, 'Rather Die Young' by Beyonce, and 'Dreaming' by Beyonce :) I absolutely love her! I don't own any of her songs though *sighs* Lol. Anywho, I am DRAINED! But I know I needed to update. Because I love you guys! Read and Review!

Did you guys see the 200th episode and 'Secrets'? The 200th was really good! Saw some things I'd never imagine. I was so happy to see Mike Franks. He is AWESOME! 'Secrets' was a good closure episode for Tony. Why Wendy left and stuff like that. And then she said "Tell her, whoever she is, how you feel." Is she talking about Ziva. Oh Mama, I think so! Ready for next week!

Thank you for reviewing drummss and K444. You guys are awesome!

Oh, and here is the link for Ziva's dress :)
