A/N: If it isn't school (oh yeah school in August) or work it's my friends or a family event that I have to go to. Anyways it has been nonstop for me.

"Tony? Tony!" Ziva whisper yelled, not getting him to wake up Ziva grabbed the glass of water on the end table. Pouring a little on his hair, Tony instantly woke up.

"Where's the fire!" Tony yelled now sitting up and wildly searching the room for a disturbance. Ziva giggled a bit before she saw the look of pain momentarily cross his face.

"I am sorry for waking you up like that, but a Brad called and left a message." Ziva reported while pressing play on the machine.

"Dr. Mallard called, how long did you think you could get away without seeing me? Well you have an hour before I arrive, and I know your there." Brad said leaving no room for argument. Tony groaned before getting up to go shower.

"Tony, who is Brad?" Ziva asked thoroughly confused.

"He is the doctor who treated me when I got the plague, we have a lot in common so we hang out every once in a while. And now he is coming over here to poke me and make me do all kinds of stupid test." Tony grumbled before turning on the shower. Ziva shook her head in amusement at her new fiancé, before heading towards the living room to clean up.

True to his word there was a sharp knock on the door exactly one hour later.

"It's open," Tony dead panned still not too excited about his impromptu check up. Brad walked in and clucked at Tony.

"Why wasn't I called when you were in the hospital?" He asked not ready to forgive his friend yet.

"Cause I received one blow to the gut and if I called you every time that happened, well you would just have to move in with me." Tony said with a cheeky grin hoping to make Brad forget. He rolled his eyes before he opened his black bag to retrieve his stethoscope.

"It isn't just the punch to the gut Tony, the different pollens and climate could have reeked havoc on your lungs."

"I think that if it was anything major I would have died by now, right?" Tony said. However; before Brad could retort Ziva appeared from around the corner.

"Tony just shut up and let the doctor do his job." She said with a smile as she walked up to introduce herself.

"You didn't tell me you had company." Brad whispered while raising his eyebrows in question.

"It's nice to finally meet you, I am Ziva David." She said while outstretching her hand.

"Like the Ziva David?" Brad asked now looking at Ziva if she had two heads. "The one that Tony is always talking about, the reason he went on the suicide mission for?"

"Brad," Tony said "I would like you to introduce you to my new fiancé." he said while carefully studying his face. After a few awkward moments of silence Brad spoke.

"I am sorry I must have walked into the wrong apartment. Do you know where I can find Anthony DiNozzo at?" Brad asked.

"Ha-ha Brad very funny I am being serious." Tony said while Ziva raised her left hand to show him the ring.

"Wow, Tony that is an amazing ring!" Brad exclaimed while giving his friend a hearty hand shake. "I am so happy for you, I mean I can't believe it, Emma** is gonna flip when she hears!" Brad exclaimed with a huge smile now plastered on his face.

"Thank you." They replied at the same time.

"Emma is your wife, yes?" Ziva asked after a few moments.

"Yup," Brad said wondering what was on her mind.

"Well then if Tony is up to it would you and Emma like to have dinner with our friends Abby and McGee tomorrow evening?" She asked.

"I would love to," Brad said with a smile.

"Perfect, I'll call you tomorrow with the details." Tony said returning his smile.
