Beep. Beep. Beep. Was what Tony had been listening to for hours.

"Tonyyyyy!" Abby rushed in and gave him a big Abby hug.

"Oof!" Tony wobbled as he stood up with Abby still clinging to him. "Hey Abby."

"What happened to her? Is she okay? How did she get hurt? Are you okay? How are you? I hope she isn't seriously hurt or anything. That would be really bad!" Abby said in a rushed voice.

"Ziva was going in to get a link to Dearing and a bomb went off as she neared the café. I don't know what state of stability she's in. I already explained to you how she got hurt. I'm fine." Tony answered all her questions calmly. Tony looked at McGee and Gibbs standing in the corner of the room giving him his space.

"Hi everybody. I'm doctor Samantha Greene." The lady gave a bright smile to the room of sad people.

"Hi. I'm Anthony DiNozzo." Tony got up and shook hands with the doctor. "This is Agent Gibbs, Agent McGee, and…Abby." Tony gestured to everyone around the room.

"Hi, okay so, Agent David had dozens of shrapnel in her and a bruised abdomen. She some small brain damage too. She may be in a coma for a little bit." Dr. Greene read off the report.

"Anything we can do?" Tony asked eagerly.

"Well, she is able to hear you, so talking to her about daily updates and telling her things may help her when she wakes up." The nurse smiles happily at Tony then, turns and leaves. After she's gone, Tony pulls up a chair next to Ziva's bed and sighs.

"Okay Ziva, I know you can't see me, but you can hear me." Tony said squeezing his eyes shut to keep tears from coming. "I…I'm not going to leave your side. Ever. I'll stay here with you and talk to you all the time. I think I saw something like this in a movie once. Can't remember which one." Tony smiled to himself then continued. "Today you were hit by a bomb. Dearing set it up. Sadly, it hit you and you ended up here, in a hospital. You're doing well though. You know why?" Tony paused as if waiting for a response. "Because you're a strong ninja. People love you my ninja and that's why you must stay strong." Tony kissed the top of her forehead and slumped into the chair he pulled up beside her. Tony felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked up to see Gibbs.

"You gonna stay here?"

"Yeah Boss. Incase she wakes up."

"Okay DiNozzo. Call us if you here anything."

"Got it." Tony sighed as Gibbs gestured for everyone to leave the room, leaving only Tony and Ziva. Tony saw Ziva's eyelids flutter and hopped that meant she was waking up, but nothing happened.

Tony quietly got up from the chair and laid down next to Ziva and wrapped his arms around her. He gently kissed the back of her head and put his forehead against the back of her head. "Oh Ziva." He sighed as he pulled the blankets tighter around her. I wonder what she's seeing. Tony wondered to himself and closed his eyes.

ZIVA'S POV: (in coma)

Her memories went by in flashes. One moment she was six, having a fight and the next she was older watching Tali die. Her memories seemed to get longer the more recent they got.

Now it was 2005 and she was standing outside Gibbs's basement door and had just heard Ari admit to killing Kate. She was now at the landing in Gibbs's basement with her gun drawn, ready to shoot. Bam! She felt herself fire the gun and she heard it echo in the basement as she slowly walked down the stairs she saw Ari's body laying on the floor, lifeless.

It was still 2005 and she and Tony were undercover as married assassins. She didn't have trouble playing the assassin part but the married part was harder. She remembered kissing Tony and pretending to be in love together.

Now it was 2006 and Tony had just trapped them in a box and they were locked in. She and Tony were stuck for hours before anyone found them. In that time, she and Tony had grown a little closer.

Now it was 2009 and she was being lead somewhere, she didn't know where because of the sack over her head. When it was removed she saw Tony sitting there in a chair in front of her.
