CHAPTER 26 - Tears

Okay this is a real shorty, but in the next chapter I will have skipped a bit of time

When Tony returned in the room Ziva was already asleep. The doctor had told him the team would come first thing tomorrow.

Ziva was awake but had not spoken much, Tony did not like it but knew it was her way of coping.

In her mind she was having a battle with herself. Tony had said it was not her fault their baby was dead but it was. She was so worried about her mother she had not taken care of herself or the baby, she had been so tired and scared she had not thought twice when the call had come, something she should have done, there were so many things she should have done different.

When Abby Mcgee Gibbs and Ducky came in Abby wanted to jump on Ziva, but Tony stopped her and told her to be careful. So instead of crushing Ziva with a hug she just grabbed her fingers tightly.

Ziva looked around and spoke the words everyone feared,

"Where is my mother?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then at Tony, Gibbs motioned for them to go so Tony could explain.

"Why did everyone leave, I had the antidote is she still in the hospital?"

"Zi listen to me" How would he tell her he remembered the sight off her when he saw her in the waiting room, waiting for news on her mother the first time. She had looked so fragile, so small and little. Someone needed to tell her

"Your mother she" he sighed, he saw the eyes of Neorah in his mind, on the point where you could not clearly tell if she was dead or barley living. "She is dead"

It seemed as if the room became smaller, if she was going half deaf "What but…"

"I am so sorry Zi, when you were in surgery she had asked for you"

"She died, alone she…"

"No. No not alone, I was with her Ziva, she was not alone"

Then was the point that Ziva broke down, she cried for her mother, who she had tried to save but was to late.

Tony put his arm around her neck, and squeezing her fingers since he could not touch her otherwise or she would be hurt.

Ziva cried for their baby that had died when she tried to save her mother.

The cries became stronger and turned into almost screams of pain, and hurt, there were words sobbed through the cries "Why?" "Noo please"

When Tony was holding her the tears he had held up inside when Neorah had died as good as in his arms started to fall.

The cries carried all the way to the hall way since the door had been open. At the sound of Ziva's heartbroken cries, and smaller sobs the team could not hold it in any longer.

Abby, who had just stopped with crying started again, now her eyes were clear of makeup the tears that streamed down were cleaning the black stripes that were on her cheeks.

Mcgee's eyes first became foggy, his eyes were so full of tears that one fell down. Making a slow path down his cheek, falling into abby's hair.

Ducky whipped the tears away with a handkerchief before they could fall.

Gibbs eyes became full of tears but did not let them fall.

Has guessed right what is about to come, it may come a little earlier than i have planned i think in the next chapter.

Note to Zivarocks44: Start to think what you would like to see when this story is over, as i have said the one who guesses it right gets a YouTube vid or Fanfiction one-shot dedicated to him/her. So which one do you want,
