Chapter 16 – Waking up
Neorah stayed after her talk with Gibbs, but didn't tell Ziva anything, it was better to keep some things a secret.
Ziva was still with Tony every day, praying that he would wake up. It became to much the next day. She looked at him, this could not happen, it was more than a week ago since he had slipped into the coma.
There were tears forming in her eyes "I wish I could take it all back" a deep sob like breath she took. "I am so sorry for the things I said, if I had not said it than maybe this would not have happened" the first tear fell from her eye
"I know that it is not your fault, I just needed someone to be angry at and it was you, sorry Tony, for all" more tears were falling "please wake up, the team needs you to wake up, I need you to wake up, I need you please"
From the exhaustion she couldn't help the tears, the cries. She put her arms on the bed just next to his arms and her head on her arms and she cries.
What she did not know was that Tony was waking up. He heard her every word, he needed to wake up for her, and he did.
His eyes fluttered open she did not notice. It was then he heard her cry, loud and clear. He could not speak, to much pain so he did the one thing he could do.
Even with much pain he knew to raise his arm. He placed his hand on her head, this made her look up.
"Tony your. I am so sorry, I did not" she began he stopped her and with the most effort he said
"It's okay" and he stoke her hair.
At that a nurse came in, having heard Tony wake up. She checked everything, when she left Ziva had Tony's hand in hers. When Tony had gotten some water his throat hurt less. He looked at Ziva she looked so tired.
"Zi, you look tired, sleep"
"but you"
"I'll be still here if you wake up"
She put her head down much like she had done before and she slept. Tony looked at her, stroke her hair and soon he was asleep to.
I know this it probably the shortest chapter you ever read, it's almost a drabble in a story, but it felt better to end it here. Just the feeling you know
