It has taken me so long to update this fanfic. Depression has been killing me recently and I've had zero motivation to live, never mind write fanfic. Here we are though! Sorry for the depressing author's note haha!
Apologies for how short this is too but there's only so much that can be said in a speech.
"My dear Anthony and Ziva, you are two of the kindest and compassionate people I know. There hasn't been a time when I've been around either of you and not had a laugh – well, maybe there's a few exceptions but we won't dwell on them. The courage you have both showed towards each other makes my heart warm. The numerous times where you've risked your lives to save each other is something that I always find remarkable." Ziva leaned her head on Tony's shoulder.
"I can't count the number of occasions where one of you has visited autopsy just to ask my advice about each other. There's been many pots of tea brewed over little discussions of how Tony could win Ziva over, or how Ziva could start the conversation of inviting DiNozzo round for dinner. I must say, when I found out they'd become official it was a relief to me! I didn't have to keep secrets any longer!" Ducky laughed and smiled to the newlyweds.
"I remember the day like it was yesterday actually. I was sitting at my desk down in autopsy when Ziva came running in, smiling like I've never seen before. She couldn't stand still whilst she told me the development. Without another word, she ran out giggling to herself. I was left in rather a bemused state. Then a rather excitable DiNozzo came running in and shared the same story. It was all rather rushed but I finally managed to piece it all together. I must say I was quite shocked that they'd actually taken my advice and spoken to each other. But, here we are today, witnessing the love between the pair. I hope the happiness continues between you two for eternity! You most definitely deserve it and each other." Ducky raised his glass and everyone toasted to Tony and Ziva.
One more speech left!
