A/N: I'm soo sorry for the delay, one week turned into three. School was crazy, I had exams everyday before finals week so I was cramming for all of them trying to pass…anyways, I have a three week break and am hoping to get a significant amount of writing done. I hope you al like this chapter, I have absolutely no idea of what is going to happen in it as of right now
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Last Chapter:
She was about to walk out to her car with the bags, but thought better or it, not wanting to tamper with any evidence, she didn't even know where the scene occurred other than outside. No, she would wait until Gibbs' team showed up, then she would leave and never bother him or his team again unless absolutely necessary.
Just because she knew she had lost Jethro, didn't mean she was happy about it, she loved the man, he just didn't love her the way she could very clearly see he loved the women who was having a breakdown in his arms.
Current Chapter:
Allison was awkwardly sitting in the kitchen trying to block out the commotion that was coming from the adjacent room. The woman was weeping and she could hear Jethro's frantic voice trying to calm her. As her sobs increased, his panic increased as well as the anger that she could hear in his voice.
She knew she was making the right decision about leaving once the team got here and leaving his life, but she couldn't help the jealousy and the feeling of anger that kept trying to force its way put and cause her to go into the room next to her, yank the woman off of him and take her place.
Bitchy? Yeah, she knew that, still didn't stop the feeling of wanting to do it though. Instead she was able to focus all of her attention on the class in front of her as if accusing the inanimate object for causing the end of her relationship with Jethro.
She was so engrossed in trying to block out the noise from the living room that she jumped when she heard a car door slam shut.
She listened for a minute and when Jethro's voice didn't stop the soothing noise, she knew he wasn't paying any attention to anyone or anything besides the women crying in his lap.
She stood and walked to the front door intending on meeting the team there.
Tony and McGee were trying to keep Ziva calm, but she looked furious!
'Oh boy, outta the way.' Hart thought as she just barely stepped out of the enraged woman before she ran right into her.
"Ziva, wait!" Tony said catching her arm just before she walked into the living room.
Ziva whipped her head around and stepped closer to him, sending a glare that could cause the strongest of men to cringe.
"He was supposed to protect her Tony! You have no idea what she has been through! She comes home, after two years!" She got so close she was less than an inch from his face taking her anger and frustration out on him, and he just stood there and let her.
"Ziva, I understand, but you need to calm down so we can find out what happened here tonight. Wait until Jenny isn't in the room, you said it your self, she's been through hell, do you really think what she needs right now is you going in there and screaming at Gibbs?" He said with one hand on the side of her face the other holding onto her upper arm.
"Fine, but this is not over!" Ziva said yanking herself out of his hold and as calmly as possible walked over to where Allison now stood watching the encounter with wide eyes.
"What happened?" She asked and Allison proceeded to inform Ziva of what had caused her to wake up and the state in which Jenny and Gibbs were currently in. Ziva merely nodded before starting to make her way into the living room. Tony caught her arm once more to make sure she wasn't going to loose it in front of Jenny.
In all honesty, he wanted to do exactly as Ziva did, Gibbs was supposed to be protecting her, he must have done something, because never before had something happened to someone he was supposed to be protecting.
Ziva paused a step before taking a deep breath, yanking her arm free and continuing on into the living room.
"Gibbs." She said trying to control her anger, but seeing Jenny's state made it that much harder.
He looked up at her and knew he was going to get hell when Jenny finally fell asleep from exhaustion, he told her the scene was out back and she turned on her heel and headed towards the door.
"Ziva…" Gibbs said, knowing he should say something, but nothing was coming to him. He saw her pause before she spoke.
"You were supposed to be protecting her." She didn't yell it, didn't whisper it, just merely spoke it without any emotion in her voice before continuing towards the door, and for some reason, it caused Gibbs to feel so much worse that if she had screamed it at him.
They were just finishing up examining the crime scene when they heard the door shut. Expecting it to be Gibbs, no one turned around because they were all upset with what he had let happen.
"It's me…" Allison said sensing the hostility rolling off of the three people before her.
That did it, Tony turned around as well as McGee, while Ziva continued to studiously ignore her presence as she had when they thought it was Gibbs.
"What?" Tony asked knowing how pissed Ziva was at the women before them and really not wanting another death to take place.
"I wanted to know if there was anything I could do…" She started only to be interrupted by Ziva speaking.
"Leave." She said in the same way she had spoken to Gibbs. Hart looked at her offended, she was trying to help!
"I'm trying to help Officer David!"
Ziva whirled around and Tony and McGee both took a step closer to Ziva so they could intercept her if she made a lunge for the woman in front of her.
"Help? All you have done since I have met you is act like a cold hearted bitch! And now you want to help? I do not think so. You have done enough damage already Miss. Hart!" Ziva spat her last name at her. She had always paid attention to Jenny when another woman was around Gibbs. So she knew just how much seeing the women that was currently in front of her make out with Gibbs in front of Jenny hurt Jen.
No, this woman was aware of Jenny's feelings as well and she just used it to make Jenny feel even worse.
Hart was starting to get pissed, sure Ziva had done the same thing when some other woman had started to make moves on Tony, she could see how she was with him, she knew there was something between them. Surely Ziva had acted like a bitch to some of the woman.
"Like you haven't ever tried to mark your territory from other woman!" She accused and almost stepped back when Ziva started towards her, thankfully she was also a strong woman…and the fact that both Tony and McGee steeped up and held her back.
"Ziva, easy!" Tony said trying to calm her down, this was starting to get really out of hand.
"I would never…"
"Bullshit!" Hart interrupted knowing what she was going to say. "Bullshit you never acted like I had; I knew nothing about the woman inside, all I knew is that she had feelings for Jethro, who I am in a relationship with! So don't you damn well try to act all saint like and say you've never made your relationship with Tony clear when a woman tried to make a move on him, or give him doe-ey eyes!" Hart said exasperatedly, stepping closer to Ziva, which both Tim and Tony couldn't believe, did this woman have a death wish?
Ziva was furious, though somewhere she knew Hart was right, she remembered an incident not too long ago when her and Tony had left on a coffee break.
Tony was seated at a table while Ziva went up to order herself a drink from the counter.
She turned around to see Tony and a gorgeous blond standing next to him flirting, more like throwing herself on him if you ask me!
Ziva quickly grabbed her drink and paid before making her way back over to where Tony was sitting, trying, and failing, to not look at the woman's chest as she leant over the table to write her number down.
God, she was almost pushing her chest into his face for crying out loud!
Ziva had never been one for public displays of affection, but when she got close enough, she grabbed Tony's chair and swiveled it around before promptly sitting on his lap.
She quickly captured his mouth and gave him such an intense kiss she could feel his pleasure from it clearly pressing against her upper thigh.
She smirked to herself as she pulled back slightly, but Tony was too caught up in the moment and he just started to kiss his way down her neck. Ziva tried to control the pleasure coursing thorough her enough to look up to the blond bimbo and give her a 'not a chance' look before watching her walk out of the shop clearly upset and embarrassed.
Ziva then allowed Tony to kiss her neck a few more seconds before she pulled away and stood up, bringing him with her.
"Ziva, easy, calm down!" Tony said tightening his hold on her as he felt her muscles tense as if she was about to throw herself on the women in front of her.
Hart was just smirking that same bitchy smirk she had so many times earlier that day, though now it was at a different person.
Ziva continued to glare at the women wanting nothing more than to punch that smirk off her face, but knew she had to calm down and go in to see Jenny.
"Let go, I am going to go and check on Jenny." Ziva said forcing her muscles to unclench and relax her body once more.
"Ziva…?" Tony asked making sure she wasn't going to try and do anything.
"No fighting, I promise." Ziva said lifting her hands in mock defeat.
He slowly let her go and she made her way to the house, but Hart just couldn't keep her mouth shut, no matter how much her mind was telling her to, her anger at having Jethro taken from her was winning.
"Tell her to get a hold of herself so I can speak with my guy…" shoot was the first thing that went through her mind as Ziva sharply turned and brought her up against the house.
"Back off! I see or hear you have hurt her, I will kill you!" Ziva threatened, Jenny was like her mother at times, but at others, she was like her little sister who was very vulnerable and needed protection, and this was one of those times. NO ONE hurts her family!
Hart stared at her wide eyed. Why couldn't she just keep her mouth shut, she had already made the decision to leave Jethro, why was she acting like she was still in a relationship with him 'because you still want to!' the voice in her head quickly answered…hmm, maybe she should just wait around until Jethro broke it off, no sense in quitting when she still may have a chance, it wasn't in her nature to back down from a challenge, and Miss David over here just presented her with one.
A/N: ….Well…that certainly went a whole lot different than what I was expecting…not much Jibbs at all in this chapter, but a nice Tiva moment at least…hope you all liked it, can't wait to hear what you thought!
Again, MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!
