Tony walks through the revolving doors, leaving the hospital….his eyes puffy, he walked across the parking lot.
Ziva runs out after him…"Tony…"
Tony keeps walking, ignoring her.
"Tony!"…She raises her voice.
Tony stops…"What do you want, Ziva?"
"I am sorry."
Tony lowers his head and starts to walk again.
"Tony…will you stop and talk to me!"
Tony turns…"What do you want, Ziva…what do you want from me? Huh?!"
"Tony…"…She lowered her voice.
"What Ziva? You have my full attention…here I am, in the middle of the hospital parking lot, my ex-girlfriend dead…but here I am…talk to me, Ziva…c'mon…TALK TO ME!"
The skies open up, sending down a torrential downfall...Tony looks up..."That's just freakin' great!"
"Tony...I love you!"…Ziva yelled at the top of her lung.
Tony starts laughing...lifting his arms, rain pours over him.
"Tony!"
Tony stops laughing, he lowers his head...Ziva stood drenched, she takes a step towards him..."I love you, Tony."
"Ziva..."...A car slams into Tony, he falls forward onto the hood...the car stops, throwing him about 50 feet through the air, he lands on the pavement, he lies motionless.
"Tony!"…Ziva screamed, running towards him.
Trent Kort steps out of the car..."Au Revoir, DiNozzo."...As he moves towards him...Ziva runs up to Kort, kicking him in the stomach from the side...he stops and looks at her, she kicks him again...he grabs her leg and swings her around, slamming her into the hood of the car, she falls off the hood grabbing her head, rolling herself into a ball...Kort turned back towards Tony, he's immediately speared, Tony drives him through windshield…Tony punches him relentlessly, Kort precedes to bleed profusely from his mouth and nose…Kort starts to laugh…"You can't kill me, DiNozzo."
Tony grabs Kort's head…"See you in hell, Kort."…Tony looks up, letting out a primal scream.
Tony stands, dropping something on the hood as he drops to the pavement below…he moves to Ziva...she groans as he lifts her..."Did you get him, Tony?"
Tony looked at the pavement as blood poured off the hood..."It's over."…He carried her towards the hospital.
She lifts her head…"What happened to your hair?"
"Long story, Ziva…long story."
---------
Tony sat next to Ziva, she was sleeping peaceful…he closed his eyes and sighed.
-----------
A doctor stood in front of Tony…"I'm sorry, Sir…she's gone."
Tony's lowered his head into his hands…"And the baby?"
------------
"DiNozzo?"
Tony opened his eyes…he looked towards the door…"Yeah, Gibbs?"
"I'm taking McGee home, you need anything?"
Tony wiped his eyes…"No, I'm good, Boss."
Ziva reaches out grabbing Tony's hand…Tony stands looking down at her…"You need something?"
Ziva eyes were still closed, she smiles…"You."
--------
The next morning…
Gibbs, Ducky and Abby stood in autopsy, over the dead body of Trent Kort…"He tore his head off, Duck?"…Gibbs questioned.
Ducky nodded.
"Good, he deserved it!"
Gibbs and Ducky both looked at Abby.
"He almost ruined my lab…and he killed..."…Abby turned her head, Jeanne Benoit lied on the next table over.
"Poor dear."…Ducky moved to Jeanne's body…"Ah, I did find something unusual."
Gibbs turns…"Unusual?"
Ducky lifts the sheet…"Is that what I think it is, Ducky?"
"It is, Abigail…it is."
----------
Two weeks later…
McGee stood in the bullpen panicking…the elevator dings, Abby steps off wearing a catholic school girl uniform…"Abby….umm, Abby?"…McGee grinned.
"Eyes up, Timmy!"
"Sorry…well, I don't know what to do."
"What's wrong?"
"Tony isn't here yet."
"So?"
"Well, they're giving out the Special Agent of the Year Award today and Tony always accepts for Gibbs and you know me and public speaking…and Ziva isn't here either!"
Abby grabs McGee by the arms and kisses him for a good 20 seconds…she pulls away.
"Wha…"…Gibbs slaps McGee on the back of the head and Abby on the ass.
"Uh, sorry, Boss."
"Hey, that's definitely red light, Gibbs!"
Gibbs grinned…"Then report me, Abs."
Abby laughed.
"Lets go."
"Where we going, Boss?"
They walk into the award ceremony.
"Wow, Gibbs is here."…A man said from inside the crowd.
Abby and McGee stopped at the door way. Gibbs moved next to Director Shepard as she stood at the podium…"We're all here for the Special Agent of the Year Award…this years recipirent went well beyond the call of duty in the past year and that's what it took to break Special Agent Gibbs six-year winning streak."
"Whats and huhs"…Escape from the audience.
"I'm happy to announce, this years winner is…Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo."…Jenny starts clapping, followed by the rest of the audience…"Special Agent DiNozzo?"…Jenny looked around the room.
Gibbs steps up, taking the award from Jenny…he moves to the podium…he holds up the award and nods, then walks away.
Gibbs moves back down the aisle.
"Wow, Tony won and he wasn't here to accept it? That's shocking!"
Gibbs stops next to McGee…"There are more important things than awards, McGee."…Gibbs leaves the room, Abby right behind him.
McGee turns…"Boss?"
----------
Tony stood facing away, a redheaded woman stood next to him, he turned, extending his arms handing a baby to the woman…"Helen..."
"I will take care of her, Tony…I promise."
"I'm so sorry."
Helen places her hand on Tony's face…she moves in and kisses his cheek…"Thank you."…She turns as a man opens the back door of a limo, she gets inside and he closes it and moves to the driver's side and drives away.
Tony stood there…"You can come out, Ziva."
Ziva stood behind Tony…she took three large steps towards him…"She's beautiful, Tony…what's her name?"
Tony turned…"Gabrielle."
Ziva lowered her head and spoke to herself.
Tony moved past her, she raised her head and moved along side him…"I said a prayer for her."
"Toda."
Ziva smiled…"Eyn davar."…They walked along together…"Question: Where are they going?"
"As far away from here as possible."
Ziva suddenly stops…"But why?! It took every last favor I had in Mossad to find Jeanne's mother."
"I know, but it's for the best."
"Tony, she needs you."…Tony continued walking on…"You're not listening to me are you?"
"Nope."
Ziva runs up and moves in front of him…"You're a beautiful, brilliant…"…She cups his face with her hands…"Stupid, stupid man."
Tony grabs her wrists and lowers her hands…"I was with you up to brilliant…but I gotta say…"
"Shut up, Tony…a daughter needs her father!"
Tony moves the back of his fingers to the right side of Ziva's face, lightly stroking her cheek…"I have my reasons, Ziva."
Ziva closes her eyes…"Are we ever going to…"…Ziva's cell rings…she answers…"Shalom...oh, Aunt Nettie, how are you?"…Ziva laughs…"What? You got the wedding photo? What wedding photo? From MY husband?"…Ziva turns, Tony was nowhere to be seen, she rolls her eyes…"When I find you Tony, you're dead!"
"Boo!"
Ziva turned around, Tony was standing behind her…"You scared the crap out of me! No, no, not you Aunt Nettie."
Tony grabs the phone from Ziva…he puts his hand over it…"How does it feel Zee-vah?!"…Tony brings the phone to his ear…"Shalom, Nettie…yes, we're still practicing. Heh."…Tony starts backing up, he waves to Ziva with his open hand.
"Tony, give me my phone."…She starts walking towards him.
"Good news, Nettie…I think she's pregnant!"
"Tony!"…Ziva lunges at Tony, he hops out of the way, he starts running as she follows…"When I catch you, you're dead!"
"But we're having a baby, sweet cheeks!"
"Stop saying that!"
"You're gonna get SO big!"
"TONY!"
"Heh!"
