Hello! I really hope that I didn't get anything wrong. I did research this but if I get anything wrong in the next few chapters feel free to tell me.

Three and a half hours later a doctor walked up to him.

"Are you Ziva David's boyfriend," He asked pronouncing David wrong.

"It's Da-veed and yes I am."

"Come with me then." Tony followed him down a corridor. This building is just made up of corridor like a maze. Tony thought. It reminds me of the film . . .

The doctor stopped in front of a room and gestured for him to go in.

"She's not awake yet but she should be soon."

"Thank you."

He walked into the room slowly and sat on the chair next to her bed. She looked peaceful and he was surprised she wasn't snoring which he had gotten used to during the months they had lived together. He noticed a newspaper by her bed and picked it up glancing at the cover before turning to the next page. He hadn't realised until that moment that the newspaper was a couple of weeks old but he could have sworn it was the same newspaper he was reading when they were waiting to see the doctor for Ziva's results. There was an article about a case they had worked on a few weeks back. A marine had come home to find his house a wreck and his wife and son missing. He had been incredibly lucky that they had been taken only an hour before he came home but that hadn't stopped them searching none stop for almost two days straight when they found them. Bad guy behind bars. Job done. But, like he often does, Gibbs felt that something wasn't quite right and after more detective work they found that the husband had planned the whole thing.

'Mother and son back home after traumatic ordeal'

The headline read, and like always,

NCIS wasn't mentioned.

Tony smiled at the memory of him and Ziva snuggled up on the sofa after the case was finally over eating pizza. Neither of them could be bothered to cook and they only had enough energy and enthusiasm to reach for the take away menu and the phone. The memory was interrupted and his attention was drawn to the groans coming from next to him as Ziva slowly started to wake up.

"Hello, sweet cheeks. How are you feeling?" She kept her eyes closed but turned her face towards him.

"M tired," she responded.

"It's okay, you can go back to sleep."

"Thanky you," she said before curling up and pulling the blanket over her.

Tony smiled at her now sleeping figure and slouched in his seat slightly and folded his arms.

The first step was now climbed and he was ready to help Ziva with whatever was going to happen next.
