Chapter 7

Overview All:

The team entered the room very quietly. Only too see Dinozzo sitting up in his bed, the IV attached to his right arm. The monitors connected to his chest beeping rhythmically.

"Hello Tony." Ziva said, walking to his side briskly. She smiled when he smiled at her.

"Hello there Officer David" he giggled at the formalities.

"I think they put him on drugs…" Ducky commented, looking at his chart hung on the end of his bed, "oh yes, young Dinozzo is floating above the clouds these days on, morphine." Ducky winked at Tony who started giggling.

"Yeah, whatever they gave me boss," he put thumbs up, "good stuff." Gibbs walked over to Tony's left side and slapped him lightly on the head,

"That is for almost dying on my watch, Dinozzo." Gibbs whispered in his ear. Tony didn't even flinch.

"Thanks boss, I knew you cared." He sighed. "I'm tired." Tony sputtered out.

"We should let him rest." Ducky insisted. He started herding everyone out of the room. "Officer David?" Ducky insisted.

"I think I will stay right here Ducky, Tony needs someone to be here when he wakes up." She tousled the blanket lightly and plopped into the chair closest to the bed.

"I agree." Ducky winked at her, turned off the light, and left the room with Gibbs and McGee close in tow.

Sorry for the short chapter, I figured this was the best way to finish this story for all those TIVA fans out there. :) I hope you enjoyed it, comment please and thank you!
