The team and Ducky waited in the waiting room, though Jonathan soon joined them. Tony jumped up as he saw the tall muscular secret service agent enter the room, "is she okay?"
"She's going to be okay, she was severely dehydrated which caused her to slip into a coma for an hour or two but she's awake now. The doctor said you're allowed to go see her, but she needs her rest," Jonathon explained.
Tony rushed past to go find Kate, while everybody else shook Jonathon's hand and thanked him, except Abby who gave him a big hug.

It took Kate a week to regain enough strength to go home. Tony drove her back to their place; it was nearly silent the whole way.
"Those trees we planted have sure grown," Kate stated trying to break the silence.
"Yeah, we could have made a tyre swing if…" Tony left his sentence hanging.
"You look good," Kate told him trying t take his mind of the kids.
"I know this is going to be hard, but I really think we can do it," Tony told Kate, "once we get back to NCIS everything will be back to normal."
Kate knew it was time to tell him, "Tony I'm not coming back," she whispered.
"What?" Tony asked out of confusion.
"Every time I look at you, I see Alex looking at me, I can't handle it. That's why I accepted a job Jonathan offered me, at the secret service, so I'm not coming back to NCIS."
Tony was gob smacked, "but you can't work their I'll never get to see you, it's a two hour drive everyday for you to get to work."
"Tony I'm moving out, I'll get a divorce and you'll find someone else and get married and have kids," Kate snuffled, "I've been through to much. I have to work at the secret service, I can't stay here and live with you."
"Kate, I'll come with you to Washington, this doesn't have to be the end," Tony pleaded with tears in his eyes.
"My ride's coming at six, so I'd better go start packing."
Jonathan pulled up in his Hummer, two minutes before six and helped Kate load her bags into the back of it.
Kate gave Tony a hug, but pulled away when Tony tried to kiss her.
"I'm sorry," she whispered in his ear, tears were starting to pool in her brown eyes.
"I missed you so much," he whispered, "please don't leave me again," he pleaded, as she turned around, walked over to Jonathon's car and climbed in the passengers seat. Tony broke down on the footpath as the Hummer drove around the corner.

Really short I know, probably only one or two chapters to go! I think I might make this story Tiva, what do you think?
