A/N: Ok I know the ring is REALLY expensive, and honestly I have NO idea how anyone could pay for it. I picked it more for the style, never thought I would enjoy ring shopping so much!;) Anyways if you guys think I should change it to a mom and pop shop, I will I have no problems with that, its up too you. =)
You really did it this time McGee… Tim thought on the way to the hospital. Hey Tony, I'm really sorry I didn't realize how serious you were about Ziva, it's just you NEVER commit so you can see how I was confused right? "Think McGee think!" He muttered to himself. To soon for McGee's liking he was standing outside Tony's door. "You can do this." McGee encouraged himself. Knocking on the door Tim nervously awaited for an answer.
"Come in." Tony sang out, cringing McGee opened the door. As soon as Tony and Ziva's laughter stopped.
"Uh, hey Tony." McGee said.
"McJerk." Tony said, Ziva rolled her eyes and started walking towards the door giving them some privacy.
"Ziva hold on a second, I just want to say real quick I am sorry, I made an assumption without any real facts." Tim stammered. Ziva nodded not really accepting his apology yet. Once Ziva shut the door Tim turned back to Tony.
"Look Tony I am really really sorry, I was just thinking about your past, and I was surprised to say the least. I mean I always knew that you two liked each other I just thought with rule number twelve and all so I just you know?" McGee said hoping he made at least a little sense.
"Look probie, I understand and I don't really blame you. As for rule number twelve, I realized that I really loved Ziva and I didn't care about the consequences. Besides boss man has a new rule." Tony said with a smirk.
"Really and what might that be?" McGee asked intrigued.
"Rule number fifty-one, sometimes your wrong." Tony said, "So I guess that means that maybe in time you can rekindle your McRomance with Abby."
"You think so?" McGee asked breathing a sigh of relief.
"I do." Tony replied confidently.
"That was some ring you got for Ziva." McGee said with an approving smile.
"You think she will like it? Or even say yes for that matter?" Tony asked still a little nervous about her answer.
"Tony, I know she is going to love the ring almost as much as she loves you." Was McGee's confidante reply. After a few moments of mildly uncomfortable silence, Tony spoke again.
"Tim, would you be my best man? If not I can just ask Jimmy, it's just I have know you longer and your like a little brother to me, and Jimmy is more of a cousin or really good friend you know?" Tony asked a little nervously.
"Tony, I would be honored!" McGee replied, amazed at his question.
"Thanks probie." Tony said with a true thousand watt grin. A few seconds later they heard a soft knock at the door.
"You can come in." They said simultaneously.
"So did you guys work everything out?" Ziva asked.
"Yep, everything is all sorted out." Tony replied with a grin.
"Good, I hate to see brothers fight." Ziva said with a smile. McGee stayed and watched Labyrinth* with them before heading home.
"Last night here!" Tony said before drifting off into a content sleep.
Gibbs came to pick Tony up in the morning so Ziva could finish her report and get home early.
"DiNozzo!" Gibbs barked while walking into Tony's room, "Just let the poor man finish the check up so we can both get out of here!"
"Yes boss." Tony mumbled in defeat.
"Ok, everything looks good lots of rest and healthy food, follow those rules and you'll be back on your feet in no time!" The doctor said with a smile.
"Thanks doc, I got it from here." Gibbs said starring Tony down until he sat in the wheelchair.
"Why do I HAVE to ride in a wheelchair? I just don't get it." Tony said as a final attempt to get out of his emending doom.
"DiNozzo, shut up before I send you back to that hospital bed." Gibbs said while rolling his allowing himself a small smirk.
"Alright DiNozzo, you have three hours before Abby checks on you and four hours until Ziva's home, try not to get into to much trouble." Gibbs said dropping Tony's overnight bag on the floor.
"Don't worry about it Gibbs I will be just fine!" Tony said giving his boss a reassuring smile, while making his way to the kitchen.
"Good luck." Gibbs said before heading out the door. Wow, I actually have all the ingredients I need AND Gibbs wished me luck… I think I died…. Tony thought while prepping a few things for dinner.
"Tony!" Abby yelled.
"In the kitchen Abs!" He called back.
"Wow, it smells amazing in here what are you cooking?" She asked.
"My almost famous roast beef, potatoes, mixed veggies, and the moistest chocolate cake you will ever eat." Tony said with a proud smile on his face.
"She is going to flip when she sees this!" Abby exclaimed giving him a hug.
"You brought the ring right?" Tony asked.
"What are you talking about? Jimmy has the ring not me." Abby said.
"What the hell? I asked Jimmy to give you the ring so I could have it for tonight!" Tony yelled while slumping into a nearby kitchen chair.
"Relax Tony just kidding, I got it right here!" Abby said pulling the blue velvet box from her jacket.
"Abs! you almost gave me a heart attack!" Tony said while giving her a great full hug.
"Don't worry Tony everything is perfect!" Abby said while heading towards the door.
A/N: Sooo how was it? And I realize that it takes FOREVER for updates and I'm really really really sorry!
Molto Amore,
