Three months later,

"Abby!" Tony shouted seeing her across campus. She looked to find Tony and Ziva waving at her. Where they going to Georgetown to? She had told them she was flying back to D.C and going to Georgetown but she didn't know they were. She walked over to them and Tony pulled her into a hug.

"It's so great to see you." he said smiling.

"I didn't know you guys were going here." she said excited. This was going to make college better. Since she missed Jethro, she had to reconnect with her old life.

"Tim and Zara are to." Ziva added smiling. This was going to be perfect.

"I just wish we weren't missing one." Abby said sadly. She really missed Jethro, for two months she wasn't sure what to do. Then Tony appeared on her doorstep, and here she was.

"He'll be back in time for the winter semester." Tim said coming up from behind her. She turned around and immediately gripped him into a hug. Not just the fact of what he said, but because she was happy to see her old crush. Zara stood next to him.

"Really?" Abby asked even more excited. Tim held up a piece of paper, and she took it from his hands and started to read aloud.

Guys,

Things in Iraq couldn't be worse, but just keep in mind that I am okay. Thoughts of you guys keep me through the bombings. I was separated from my squad for three weeks, traveling through the desert. Those were the worst weeks of my life. If you see or talk to Abby please give her the other letter I enclosed. She needs to read what I have to say. Please keep yourselves safe. I don't know the next time I will be able to write. I miss you all. Keep in touch. All my love. By the way, I am going to be given a break for one semester of college. See you all Winter semester at Georgetown.

Zara passed Abby the other letter and she smiled gently at her. Abby smiled back and said good bye to all of them. She walked down the sidewalk to her dorm. Once she was in her dorm she noticed the other bed was still empty. Maybe she didn't get one. Slowly she opened the letter, and started to read.

Abby,

I miss you with every fiber of my being. I thought maybe I could get over you, but I just can't. I've tried for months and I still wish you were here with me. Well, more I wish I was with you. I couldn't handle having you over here, it is to dangerous. I know that must not bring you a whole lot of happiness. I love you. Keep in touch with the crew.

Abby put the letter next to her and laid down. She stared up at the ceiling just thinking. Finally she dedicated she would write him back, so she took a piece of paper and just wrote.

"Poor Abby." Ziva said taking her husbands hand. They walked down the sidewalk heading to their dorm.

"Jethro will come back, and they will be okay." he said smiling. She squeezed his hand, and enjoyed the fresh air. It was a nice day, the sky was clear. It was a nice day to get everything ready for school. "Are we going to talk to them about going into a student home together?" he asked.

"I'm not sure everyone is ready for it." he said. They were all going through their separate problems.

"Maybe it would help." she said thinking. She was right, it would probably help them all heal. "Then we would have a room for Jethro."

"That's true." He said unlocking their dorm door. The opened the door to find one of their close friends holding Eli in her arms.

"Thanks." Ziva said taking Eli from her. She held her son in her arms while Tony said good-bye to their friend. Once they both sat on their bed they looked their son over. He was growing up right before their eyes. They loved him and wanted him to stay little forever. You don't always get what you wish for though.

Knock Knock.

Tony moved to open the door. A man smiled at him, his hand came from behind his back and hit Tony in the face. He fell over knocked out. Eli started to whine, as Ziva moved to the back of the room. He moved closer to her.

"Get away!" she shouted making Eli started to scream. The man didn't say anything, just grabbed her by the forearms. He punched her in the face, making her start to fall. The man caught her and pryed Eli from her arms. She started to fade out, and the last thing she saw was the man running off.

"Eli..." she murmured passing out.

Oh my! haha PLEASE REVIEW!
