Gibbs was in his basement working on his boat when he heard a feminine voice.
"Jethro?"
He looked up to see Jen standing at the bottom of the stair case.
"I can't do this Jen. Not again. First Shannon and Kelly, then Kate and now Ziva? I can't"
Jen began to cry. Gibbs walked over to her and put his arms around her, she wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head on his chest as she cried. He kissed her head and tightened his hold on her. He put his head on top of hers and closed his eyes.
"Come on" he whispered "Let's go back to the hospital"
"So all of you just disappear at will?" Ziva said as she paced around the room.
"What happened Ziva?" Kate asked.
"I was stabbed, that is all"
"Really?" Tali said appearing on one of the waiting room chairs "Then why are we here? I can't do this if you keep saying you were 'stabbed, that's all'! Do you realize how much that hurts?" She said referring to earlier when she bled out.
Tali walked over to Ziva with her arms crossed. Ziva looked at her and said "When you were alive you were so brave, so strong"
"I was, but not anymore! You know what in retrospect what happened to me really sucked. I was young and was meant to do great thing with my life. But then that bomb went off. And I was dead! And here you are all happy your dead!" Tali yelled.
"I fought, I really did"
"You didn't try hard enough!" Roy said.
"Is this a Dad thing?" Tali asked.
"This is so not a Father thing"
"Oh, it's a Tony thing" Kate said causally.
"It is not a Tony thing."
"Listen Ziva, I know crappy things have happened to you, but how can you have so little respect for your life? How-" Tali stopped and looked down to see herself bleeding again. "Oh come on…"
When Gibbs and Jen came back to the waiting room they noticed that Tony had not moved since either of them had been there. Abby was still saying things under her breath with McGee holding her.
"Ducky, have they told you anything yet?" Gibbs asked
"No, not since before"
Gibbs and Jen sat down on some chairs in the corner closest to the others. Jen looked at Gibbs and began crying, He reached up and whipped a tear away from her cheek. She rested her head on his shoulder as he held her hand.
"Do you think she'll be ok?" She whispered.
"I don't know"
Operating room
"She's losing too much blood!"
