And wtf?!?! Killing off Vance, possibly?!?! Why must killing the directors or agents be a must every season? ( sorry so short.. I promise a longer one in the morning!)

Over the next few days, Tony didn't do anything...alright well he didn't do MUCH in the way of hepling Ziva. He let her do almost everything herself, including make food. All he did was set her medication on the counter once every few hours and brought up it was there or happen to fix her somthing to eat if he had noticed she hadn't eaten anything. All in all, it was a good plan...so far.
I'll be there for you
Not to mention Gibbs had alllowed Tony to visit headquarters to take very old cold case work home for Ziva to work on. As for the issue of her going outside, well, he picked her up, carried her down to the ground floor and out to the fenced in area for the apartment complex pool. She was content to sit out there for an hour or so until Tony picked her back up and brought her in.
So far, everything had been perfect. Which in itself was unusual. Not to mention the three nights of peaceful sleep he'd gotten.
Which was why on the fourth night a loud crash startled him. He reached for the gun he kept on his bedside table and climbed out of bed. He quietly walked down the hall, gun drawn, looking for the source of the noise. He saw nothing but flipped the lights on sweeping his gun around the room. Frowning he glanced back at Ziva's door, then around the apartment again, this time searching for Ziva. He was pretty sure she wasn't in her room. His suspicion was confimed when he found her lying on the kitchen floor, one of the chairs over turned on its side. She was awake and lying on the floor. tears streaming down her face.
Looking in my memory What did I see All the good times you gave to me Evenings in the park Way after dark Listen to the radio in my car
Tony lowered the gun. "Ziva," he kneeled at her side. "Are you alright?"
She nodded, but did not say anything alerting him to the fact that something was indeed wrong. He noticed the medication bottle was on the table and opened. She'd probably been trying to take her over, he frowned at the wet spot in the center of her blue shirt.. and was it his imagination that it was getting darker and wider every second he stared at it?"
"What happened?"
"I came for medication. I fell," Ziva whispered. It hurt too much to try and voice things in a normal tone. Her stomache felt as though it was on fire and being forcefully pulled from her body.
"That's it?" Tony didn't believe it. Lying her on her back, despite her protesting (and since she wasn't able to put up a fight) Tony checked her more carefully this time. He had a sneaking suspicion that Ziva hadn't stayed inside like she had promised the last few nights. Lifting the hem of her shirt up to her chest, he winced.
It's times like these you see the wood from the trees You come to my aid when I'm on my knees Next time you feel alone just pick up the phone
"Damn it, Ziva. You went running, didn't you?" Her stomache was bleeding- covered in it and he couldn't find where exactly it was from. He was just glad her side hadn't opened either. Or had it? A quick check told him no.
"I'm..."
"I swear if the word "fine" comes out of your mouth, I'll hog tie you to the bed when we get back. You need the hospital and that is where we are going," he told her. After grabbing a jacet and putting it on over his pj bottoms, he scooped her up and headed to the hospital.

Two hours later, they were admitting Ziva to Bethesda. She had ripped half of the staples out of her stomache and caused four of the stitches underneath to boot. She was going into surgery as soon as her paper work for admittance was done and Tony was stuck waiting until they fixed her up again
When three hours passed and they wheeled Ziva back into her room, she was out like a light. Foolish woman. In a way she deserved to be stuck in here again, but at the same time, Tony felt bad for her. He knew this would not be good news for the Mossad agent and end up only frustrating her, and him, more. Not to mention he only had three weeks leave left. Who would take care of her while he had to go back to work? There was no way he could leave her alone all day if she couldn't keep her word for three days!
Ziva was independant but if she wasn't careful, she'd end up in here a thrid time. Stupid woman. What was he going to do with her? Then he let a grin slip onto his face. He remembed thinking that the first time they had actually met. He hadn't known what to do with her at the time and sometimes, like now, he still didn't. Talk about frustrating!
When I think I'd be lost without you Makes me wonder what I did before you When it mattered you were there for me You were my rock boy You were my energy Time flies but I'll never forget the way it was the day we met Don't be surprised You know it's true, I'm gonna be there for you
"Sir? I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Visiting hours are over. IF you want, you may visit the nursery before you go," a small red headed nurse told him, catching his attention.
"Excuse me?" What was this woman talking about? Nursery? What the hell did he want to go there for? All he wanted to do was join Ziva in the room in front of him.
"The baby your wife just had..."
"Uh.. What baby?" Ziva had a baby? What? No way. She wasn't pregnant...not to mention he was sure a baby wouldn't survive her being shot in the stomache. Could it? No.....right?! Ziva didn't have a baby....did she?
"Aren't you Mr. Forbes?" the nurse asked.
Tony raised an eye and shook his head. "No. And I wasn't aware that this was the maternity ward." And he wasn't shocked at the relief that had flooded through him at the mistake. The nurse must be new. Must have gotten him confused. Ziva hadn't just had a baby! Then he suddenly found the image of her actually going to have one in his mind. It wasn't a bad picture.
Bad thoughts! Now was not the time for those images or thoughts! not for a LONG time.

"Its the recovery ward. The place after surgery. But if you aren't Mr. Forbes, then just forget it. I am going to have to ask you to leave though. Like I said, visiting hours are over."
"Nope. I'm not leaving. Sorry. I can't. NCIS and that woman in this room is part of NCIS as well. ederal investigation-"
"I'm sorry. You need to leave."
"But I'm not,"
"Don't make me call security,"
Tony looked around the hall and spied a metal folding tray used to hold instruments during surgery. He walked over to it, picked it up and smacked himself in the face with it as hard as he could.
Through the sun Through the rain I will still feel the same Be it good Be it bad I'll always understand When your down When your blue I will be there for you 'Cause nobody does it better We're gonna get there together Nobody Nobody does it better together Nobody Nobody does it better together
"What are you doing!?!" the nurse yelled.
"Looks like I may have a concussion. I think I need to be admitted for a CAT scan. Make sure I share a room with her," Tony pointed at the room Ziva was in before his vision swam in front of his eyes. He hadn't thought he hit himself that hard, but there was no way his was leaving Ziva. Not tonight, or ever again if he could help it. He was going to make sure he got better, no matter what it took. Which meant not leaving her side for the next three weeks.
He collapsed on the floor.
