Gibbs offered to drive Ziva to the hospital while McGee and Abby watched little Katie. Katie was screaming and crying when Abby got to her. After all, her mother did sit her down and go running when she found her father laying in the hallway. Abby picked up the poor little thing and went to sit down on the couch. As she leaned against the couch pillows she felt something hard against her back. She moved the pillows to discover the scotch bottles.

"Tim come here!" Abby yelled.

McGee was in the nursery trying to find a toy and pacifier for Katie. Anything to make her quit crying.

"What is it Abs?" McGee ask as he came into the living room.

"I think I know what's wrong with Tony." Abby said holding up the scotch bottle.

McGee rubbed his face. He knew that certain times Tony would drink heavier than others, but he didn't think it would ever be this bad.

Ziva and Gibbs sat out in the waiting room waiting for word on Tony.

"DiNozzo?" said a short female nurse with a buzz cut and glasses.

"Will you please go with me?" Ziva asked Gibbs as she stood.

"Of course I will." Gibbs said putting an arm around Ziva's shoulders.

They followed the nurse back behind the E.R. doors. As they walked, Gibbs seen the trauma bay that had held Tony the day of the accident. It was empty at the moment but Gibbs could still feel the panic inside him as he had watched as a team of doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to revive his senior field agent. They came to the door that held Tony today. Before the nurse let them inside she spoke.

"The doctor will be in to speak with you shortly."

Ziva looked at Gibbs. Was it worse than they thought? They walked in to find Tony asleep and hooked up to an IV. The sight was nothing like it was the last time he was in the hospital. He wasn't hooked up to all kinds of machines and tubes run down his throat. Instead it looked like he was taking a casual nap. A knock on the door startled both Ziva and Gibbs.

"Hi I'm Doctor Jennifer Hogan the er doctor on duty." Dr. Hogan said shaking both Ziva and Gibbs hands.

"How is he doc?" Gibbs asked.

"He's lucky. He has a mild concussion and bruising on his left side." Dr. Hogan explained.

"What caused him to fall?" Ziva asked.

"He was a fall risk to begin with given his medical history. But he was extremely drunk. We are going to keep him overnight for observation due to his medical history. He is very dehydrated from the amount of alcohol he drank. We have him on iv fluids with added electrolytes to rehydrate him."

"So all of this, because he was drunk?" Ziva asked.

"Yes Mrs. DiNozzo. We have him lightly sedated to ease the pain of the concussion. If all goes well, he should be able to go home tomorrow. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. I will be right outside here at the nurse's station." Dr. Hogan said before turning and leaving the room.

"I can't believe this Gibbs!" Ziva spat. She was obliviously furious with Tony. "How could he do this? He gets so drunk to the point of injuring himself?"

Ziva was at her breaking point. The last 10 months had been hard. She had put up with him feeling sorry for himself all through the time he was in rehab and had been home. She didn't know however that it would push him to drinking. She was infuriated with him. If he could drink so much that he would hurt himself, she knew that she couldn't trust him around Katie. Katie didn't need a drunk for a father. It was bad enough that he was deaf and unable to hold her or even do different things with her that a normal dad would.

"I can't do this Gibbs. I can't live with a drunk. If I didn't have Katie, I would tolerate it. But with a baby in the house, she doesn't need to live with a drunk for a father and us live in fear of him doing something to one or both of us." Ziva cried.

"Let's try and get him some help. You can stay with me if you need or want to. You know my home is always open to you and Katie." Gibbs said taking a crying Ziva into his arms.

Ziva tried to keep her temper under control the next day when Tony was released from the hospital. Once he got settled in she finally let loose on him.

How the hell do you think you can just drink yourself into oblivion when you have a wife and daughter? Ziva signed to him.

"It's not like you would understand anyway!" Tony yelled.

Oh I wouldn't understand? I don't understand how you almost died almost a year ago and left me to raise our daughter by myself which I practically have done for the last 7 months anyway.

"Like I said you don't understand?" Tony said rolling his eyes.

Then get yourself some help. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get up, stop trying to drink your troubles away and do something. Hell Vance offered you a job and you couldn't even take that! You didn't have to leave NCIS. You are the one that turned your back on your work family and on me and our daughter.

"I am dealing just fine. I was a field agent, ok! How could I go back to work and see you and the team leave while I have to stay at my desk doing paperwork all day. Hell I am the one that trained you. You wouldn't be anything without me." Tony spat.

A since of rage went all over Ziva.

I knew more before you ever came into my life. You either grow up and be a man and get some help or…

"Or what Zee-va? I am not getting help. I don't need help." Tony rolled his eyes again at her.

It was clear he was not going to help himself and it made Ziva mad as hell.

"That's it I've had it." Ziva mumbled to herself.

I will not put up with someone that won't help themselves. I can't have you sitting around drinking your life away and you hurting our daughter. Be looking for the divorce papers because this marriage is over.

With that Ziva stormed out of the room, grabbed Katie and went down to Gibbs house. Tony couldn't believe what he was just told. Why couldn't she just understand his point of view. He was dealing with his own demons and felt like she just walked out on him at a very low time in his life.

Abby was over at Gibbs house when she got there. Ziva really didn't want to deal with Abby's always happy attitude while she was so pissed.

"Ziva what's wrong?" Abby asked.

"It's Tony. What makes him think that he can just shut me out and drink his problems away. I have been right there by his side through all of this and this is the way he treats me and his daughter. I will not put up with it. Can you please watch Katie for about an hour Abs?" Ziva asked.

"Yeah but Ziva what are you about to do?" Abby asked.

"I'm going to talk to a lawyer." Ziva said.

The always happy Abby was now angry.

"Ziva seriously. You're going to abandon Tony when he needs you the most?" Abby spat. Ziva looked Abby in the eye and gave her a look.

"I was not the one that turn my back on our family." Ziva growled. She handed Katie over to Abby before turning to walk out the door.

"Ziva your problems will not be solved by you running away from them." Abby yelled as the door was slammed shut cutting off her words.

After Gibbs came home Abby begged him to let her go talk to Tony that she feels like she could get through to him. Gibbs agrees and watches the baby who had fell asleep in her play pin at her Grandpa Gibbs house. Abby goes a few doors down to the DiNozzo's house. Tony was still laying in the bed. When he seen Abby at the door he perked up a bit.

"I thought you were Ziva at first coming back to finish me off." Tony joked. Abby gave a halfway smile. She was angry with Tony.

How could you turn to drink rather than turning to us, your family for help when your depression got out of control. Abby signed.

Tony shook his head and shrugged.

Tony, ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.

'Great now she's going to be on me too.' Tony thought. As Abby continued her rant. The one thing good about being deaf is when Tony wanted to end a conversation, he could just shut his eyes and the conversation was over. That's just what he done. He shut his eyes on Abby as she ranted in sign language. Abby felt defeated. Tony would always listen to her and listen to her reason. But now not even that was working. His only hope for someone getting through to him was Gibbs.

How will Tony take Gibbs coming over to talk reason into him and how will he handle being served the divorce papers? Will he try to make things right with Ziva? New chapter up soon! Please review!
