Disclaimer is the same

Ducky sat in the chair closest to Ziva as he retold stories from his past... hoping a familiar voice might bring her back. Little did he know what was going on in her head, "Hello Ziva," came the smooth voice which belonged to none other than Michael.

"Michael, ignore my father's orders for once," Ziva said very annoyed. Her father had ordered Michael to seduce her and finally make her see that she was in love with him. Michael was failing miserably. Suddenly an idea occurred. "Michael if I kiss you, will you just report to my father that we aren't meant to be?"

"And if the kiss says something different?" Michael said, grating on her nerves even more.

"Then we'll go from there!" Ziva said impatiently. She wanted Michael out of her hair... now. Ziva whipped around, kissed him fully on the lips, whipped back around, thoroughly unfazed and walked away. Michael ran straight to her father.

"Director, it seems she is just not interested. I cannot take this torture any longer if she does not return the feelings," Michael walked out. The door almost hit Ziva where she was snooping around. Victory!

The scene changed.

Abby was standing there fumbling with the keys when she got the door open. Ziva leaned in for a hug... receiving a kiss. Ziva's brain could no longer take any more solitude. She awoke to an astonished Ducky.

"Why hello my dear! Let me just go get Jethro... he'll be please to know you are awake," before Ducky got too far Ziva grabbed his hand. She shook her head, not wanting to disturb anyone else. "I'm sorry Ziva, but I think he ought to know you're okay. He's been here all day," this sent Ziva's heart into a frenzy, but Ducky pressed firmly on and acupressure spot and calmed her down immediately. Ducky brought in Gibbs. Ducky said something about having to be home when his mother got back. Gibbs immediately walked over to Ziva and embraced her.

"I will always be here. You can trust me with anything," he told her. Gibbs then called in a doctor to remove the coma.

"Gibbs," Ziva croaked out, "you know... do you not?"

Gibbs just nodded. When he noticed to distress in Ziva's face he quickly added, "but it's okay. Rule #12 applies only to two agents. Abby is obviously a forensic scientist," he winked at her.

Ziva finally relaxed... completely.

Abby was informed right away that Ziva become conscious again. Tony was second. They each arrived at the same time, almost running into each other going down the hall. "Hey Abs, are you here to see Ziva?" Tony asked, still hurrying down the hall.

"Yeah, same with you?" Tony nodded. Tony noticed the look of guilt on her face. "Abs, it's not your fault. If it's anyone's, it's mine. You weren't even here," Tony tried to reassure her.

"I was here in thought. That's why Ziva actually went into the coma," Abby said, not knowing that Tony hadn't been informed of their relationship. Tony gave her a very confused look. They stopped and stared at each other. "You don't know, do you?" Abby asked.

"Know what!" Tony exclaimed.

"I know this is going to hurt," Abby said cautiously, "because I know you have feelings for Ziva. But the reason she doesn't have those feelings for you is because... she has them for me," Abby sighed. How many more people was she going to have to explain this to? Tony stood there and realized why Ziva had another panic attack. "So, what happened?" Abby asked.

"I brought up relationships and she freaked. I mean, obviously she wouldn't have feelings for me, but what had her stressing out?" Tony asked.

"I, um, started our relationship on an awkward note. We both wanted to be together, but she was still afraid of Gibbs' rule #12," Abby explained. It all finally made sense to Tony. Abby saw the pieces click in his mind and started walking briskly towards Ziva's room again. Abby stopped, afraid to go any further. Tony noticed this, so he knocked on the door and then opened it for Abby. Abby walked in, afraid of what she would see. She peered into the room. She saw Ziva and her heart leapt for joy. Suddenly she rushed over to Ziva's side and hugged her. Ziva ran her fingers through Abby's hair in a comforting motion. Abby sat back. "I'm sorry, I-" Abby was cut off by Ziva's finger to her lips.

"It is I, who should be sorry. I should not have let the stress get to me that badly. I scared you and the rest of the team. I apologize."

"Z, you don't have to apologize," Tony said from the door, "we can't always hold in our emotions. You just need to work on expressing yourself so this doesn't happen again." Ziva knew he was right. Ziva hugged Abby once more. She motioned for Tony to come around to her.

"Thank you Tony," Ziva whispered as she hugged him. Just then the doctor came into the room and informed everyone that Ziva should get some sleep. Ziva asked for them to bring in a cot for Abby. That night they talked about where they were and how they would handle the Director finding out.

They eventually fell asleep, fingers intertwined.
