NCIS:

DISCLAIMER: NCIS and characters do not belong to me.

SUMMARY:

SOMETHING HAPPENS...NOW TONY IS IN A COMA.

Will he survive? Some of the chapters will be told from the members of the Gibbs team as they worry about Tony and ask him to come back.

The other chapters are Tony in a sort of dream while he is in a coma and receives a visitor.

A little different from what Gibbs went through...Tony will not be seeing what might have been, but will have a visitor helping him.

CHAPTER 12: TONY MAKES HIS DECISION...

THE COMA...

HOSPITAL ROOM...

"Tony, you just heard Ducky and you have heard from everyone. Don't make them wait anymore...it's time to decide...now." Kate said sadly, as they stood beside his bed and Tony found it weird to be looking at himself in a coma.

"I still don't know, Kate. I don't want to ever stop having you talking to me." Tony said and she could see in his eyes that he was still holding on to her.

"Tony...you have to; you will see me again one day. That day is just not now and I have been explaining that to you repeatedly for the past six days. You heard what Ducky had to say about Gibbs being more silent then usual and Tim is having a hard time stopping Abby from having a break down and won't be able to for much longer. Tim needs you to go back and just tell him, because you know it's true, it was not his fault and no one could have made it turn out differently. Ziva needs you; Tony...she is taking it worse than the rest of them. Do you remember a couple of days how she was here sobbing? Does she ever let anyone see her like that?" Kate asked.

"No, I've seen her cry before. I have never seen or heard her cry like that for anyone though. I've only known her since you died...I don't know about her life in Mossad or before she joined NCIS." Tony said.

"Then talk to her and get to know her better, but you have to go back to do that." Kate replied.

"I'll miss you, Kate, but...I guess you're right." Tony said and Kate smiled.

It was a sad smile, but it was a smile that told him he was making the right decision.

"You're admitting I'm right about something I told you? Never thought I would hear that one. Just remember to tell Gibbs about rule 12 and how if it's changed it would make the team happier, okay?" Kate asked and Tony nodded.

"I know, Kate. I'll miss you..." Tony said and felt something in his eyes.

"I'll miss you too, Tony, just as I miss the rest of the team. Be sure to say hi for me and don't let anyone forget me, all right?" Kate asked and this time all Tony could do was nod.

Then with a sad smile on each of their faces and a hug...
