TVwatcher: Though I didn't specifically mention he was AT NCIS, I guess it could be taken that way.... the image I had more in my mind was the begining of season 4 where Ziva's car came to a halt as a bomb went off around the coffee shoop and other various cafes/businesses and she'd thought she seen Ari and Gibbs ends up back from Mexico...blah blah..I know you knwo what itme talking about! :D..... To me because where I'm from has NOTHING to do with what washington DC looks like ( even though two of my friends live there and I'm SURE I could ask), to me that little snapshot is "business district" because of how close together everything was and everyone walking places (can't do that here).
AND!!!!! Its Tuesday, so we all know what that means... though I do hope NCIS is a new episode tonight... but in case its not...( and jsut for fun)....
Spoiler: "If nothing else, NCIS' upcoming 150th episode will be remembered for one thing: introducing us to Tony's dad!Veteran actor Robert Wagner — yes, the former Jonathan Hart himself! — has been cast as the dad of Michael Weatherly's TV sleuth, sources confirm to me exclusively. Father and son will reunite in NCIS' milestone episode, slated to air in a case of déjà vu? It's probably because Weatherly played Wagner in the 2004 TV movie The Mystery of Natalie 's No. 1 show has an impressive track record when it comes to casting fathers of its lead characters. Previous daddy coups include Michael Nouri (as Ziva's pa) and Ralph Waite (as Gibbs' dad)."
Straight from EW themselves...! :) also, forgive any errors. I've had about 12 hours sleep in the last four days, all my fault...but still!
Song: "Lean on Me" Mitchell Musso version, not the original, but I was listening to the Original while writing this. ( mentioned my tastes vary, didn't I? Lol)
**********************************************************************************************************************************
When Tony finally came back it was around noon, to find Ziva had fallen asleep. Ducky informed him that she was perfectly fine and had apparently just fallen asleep on the couch. Thanking the eccentric doctor, Tony made his way farther into the apartment quietly while Ducky checking that Ziva was alright, he then made his way into teh ktichen to eat- something he hadn't done though he had been up for nine hours already. He was exhausted and wanted to get a good nights' sleep. Only with Ziva trying to go out at all hours, that probably wasn't going happen anytime soon.
(Lean on me, Lean on me) Don't you ever give up on your dreams no matter how hard things around you seem you gotta keep your head on what you do today keep holding on, cause help is on the way.
Not sure if Ziva had eaten or not, Tony made two sandwiches and stuck the extra one in the fridge for later. He wouldn't wake her just to eat, but when she did finally--
"Afternoon, Ziva," Tony said standing up and closing the fridge. It was as if he had a sixth sense about her standing behind him. . "Have a good nap?"
Ziva just watched him, wondering if she should wait to start what was definately going to be an argument or not. She decided she didn't much feel up to it after having it out this morning with him and then the whole Ducky situation. Not now. "As good as a nap can be, Tony," she said crossing her arms still watching him.
When outta the blue, your buddies appear theyre like, instant friends and their mission is clear keep workin together to make it all real its what you've been hopin all along you'd feel well you can lean on me
"Did you take any medication?" He asked reopening the the fridge and taking out her food. He handed it to her and quite surprised that she didn't refuse but took it from him without complaint.
"Ducky gave me some, yes," she said watching him move past her to the table. Was it just her or was the room full of tension? Tony didn't seem to have noticed anything had changed, so myabe it was just her.
Though she was holding the plate he ahd handed her, she still had yet to touch it. "Then you shouldl probably eat that. Meds on an empty stomach are never fun," he commented, finishing off his own food.
"I am aware of that fact, Tony."
He paused mid motion and stared at her. Something was off, and her tone said it all. "Then why are you eating, Ziva?" He placed his plate in the sink. She set her down on the table.
"Because you are treating me like a four year old," she said. But thats because you're acting like one! Even Ducky said so!
Tony raised an eye at her. "I am?"
"Yes, you are. You are like the overbearing parent that can't leave their child alone and is constantly worried that they will get hurt!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you felt that you like me to stop?" He was not going to get into it with her. He wasn't. Not after this morning and not after promising Gibbs to take care of her last week.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and i'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on. for, it won't be long, till i'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
"Stop?! Yes, I would, actually. And while you're at it, stop acting like I'm helpless!" Was he going to let her have her way?
"You are far from helpless, Ziva," Tony told her.
"Not according to you! You won't let me outside, you watch my every move, you do things I should do myself.." she gestured to the plate on the table. "And it feels as if you don't want me doing anything! Don't you trust me?!" Oops. It was out there now! Oh well.
.
Trust her? Of course he did! How could she even think that? "Of course I do. I just do all those things because I want you to get better faster. I don't want you to have an extended leave longer than normal, and I know how stubborn you are about your running or wanting to go outside. In fact, I've never seen someone so deicated to being outdoors, and that includes people that do it for a living," he explained, calmly, though he just wanted to shake some sense into her. Couldn't she see that he cared about her well being and everything he was doing was so that she could get better? Didn't she know it killed him to see her in pain?
You can lean on me, to help you stand you know i'll be right there, it's part of the plan together today, we'll get it done at the end of the story, the victory is won
"Oh so that's why you wait all hours of the night to see if I leave or wait on me hand and foot?" Ziva snorted. "You don't trust me. If you did, you'd not be doing those things."
What?! Was she blind? "Yes, I would. I told you, I want you to get better. You're supposed to be on bed rest. BED rest means not doing anything. Literally. All you are supposed to do is lying around all day. And yet you are bound and determined to move around all day! Why is that? Did you ever think I was doing it for your own good?"
She crossed her arms. "No. I did not. Why would I? I can take care of myself-"
"Which is why you showed up at NCIS ready to work a week ago?" Tony asked, raising an eye. "That's not taking care, Ziva. That's getting back into the swing of things."
"I need to do that! I need you to trust that I won't leave, but damn it, Tony, I need out of the apartment for at least a few minutes every day! I cannot sit inside all day long! I cannot play card games or board games, watch a movie or sit and cook or bake or even read a book all day everyday! That is just not me! I need to be productive, so yes, that it why I turned up at NCIS."
Tony watched her pace, noticed the occasional twitch of pain that crossed her face, saw how much just getting outside meant to her. "Alright fine. I'll do as you ask.. and see what I can do about getting you outside and being productive, but you are NOT going to go for a walk or run. If I can pull that off, then I need a promise from you. No more sneaking out at three or four in the morning. Deal?"
No matter how simple this might sound helpin someone else is where love is found just reach out your hand to show you care the greatest gift, is the one you share. well you can lean on me.
Apparently he wasn't in an aruging mood. But she also wasn't stupid enough to pass up his offer. She stuck her hand out. "Deal,"
Tony accepted her hand and gently pulled her against him. "Good. Now, lets go clean the bathroom."
Ziva stared up at him, surprised by the sudden closeness as well as his suggestion.
"You want to be productive, right? That's doing something productive."
Well, it was a start.....
Ziva untangled herself from his arms. That was just too tempting of a situation. "Fine. Let's go,"
When she turned her back to him, Tony grinned. They had compromised on something without actually arguing. He wasn't stupid enough to know she hadn't been trying to bait him, but that was another issue altogether and since they had just resolved one, he didn't want to bring up another. And at the same time, he wondered if he and Ziva would always have some sort of issues between them.
Tony, not wanting to "baby" her, stood at the door way to the bathroom, watching Ziva wipe down a mirror. "Are you not going to help?" she asked glancing at him breifly.
"Nope. You wanted to be productive and do something, you got it. You don't want me helping you, you got that too." He told her watching her pause, probably in surprise, before moving on to wipe down the sink and counter area. "I'm just watching to make sure you don't hurt yourself."
"Well, thank you for that," Ziva told him quietly and found that she actually meant it.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and i'll be your friend, i'll help you carry one. for, it won't be long, till i'm gonna need somebody to lean on. just call just call on me brother, when you need a hand we all need somebody, to lean on. i just might have a problem, that you'd understand we all need somebody, to lean on.
Just call me, just call
