THERE HE IS
"What do you mean, she only remembers me?" Gibbs understood Tony's confusion but he only knew so much himself. "Exacly what I just said, Dinozzo. I was sitting there, waiting for Ziva to wake up and when she did, she kept repeating that she wanted to see you." Abby, Ducky, and McGee now joined the rest of them and was getting in on Ziva's condition. "I mentioned the rest of the team and she didn't seem to remember any of us. Just you, Tony." "What do you mean, she doesn't remember the rest of us, Gibbs? Ziva has to remember her best friend." Abby was getting all emotional, like her normal self but the rest of the team were equally upset.
"It's going to be ok, Abby. She'll snap out of this eventually." Giving Abby a little hug. "Are you sure this isn't going to last long, doctor? And why does she only remember me?" Just trying to understand the situation he was now in with Ziva. "Agent Dinozzo, were you the last person Ziva saw before or after she hit her head?" Yeah, I ran to her aid when she hit the ground. I know she didn't lose consciousness right away. I was able to say- um, a few things to her before they brought her to the hospital." "I see, were those things on a more than friendly level?" Tony got angered by that comment. Yeah, he was afraid he was going to lose her and he may have said some things that would indicate that he had deep feelings for her but he would never take advantage of any situation he was in with Ziva.
"I told her that she had to stay awake and that she had to be ok, for me. I might of told her that I couldn't live without her but a lot of people can't live without there friends." Trying to justify the things he said. "Oh, my god, Tony. I knew you loved Ziva." "Not now, Abbs." Trying to stay focused on Ziva right now and not his feelings for Ziva. "What does what I said to Ziva have anything to do with this, anyway?" Feeling like he was being interrogated himself. "Well, lets start with she thinks that you're her boyfriend, Dinozzo." "What?" "Well, she pretty much reffered to you as her boyfriend when I was talking to her." Tony's heart hit the floor at this moment. Did the things he said to Ziva really affect her mind like this? "It seems to be the case, Agent Dinozzo. She only seems to remember you and the things that you may have said to her."
"Well, what do we do now?" At a loss of this whole situation. "Well, with any kind of memory loss, they're different types of situations. I suggest just letting Ziva come around on her own. It should happen on it's own and as frustrating as it might get, you need to stick with her and keep reminding her of her life and how much you all love her. You guys are her biggest support system right now and she needs you." "Can I see her now, please." Just wanting to see Ziva now. The doctor took her back to her room where Ziva was laying on her bed, with her head turned toward the door. Tony just smiled as he walked in and Ziva got the biggest smile he had ever seen on her beautiful face.
"There he is." Reaching out to take his hand, which he quickly grabbed a hold of. "You know how hard it is to stay away from you for that long." Talking sweetly to her as he sat down in the chair next to her. He wanted to eas into talking about what she remembered but she just laid there, so peacefully,with her hand in his. It was hard to keep focus on anything other than her beautiful smile. "What can you remember, My Ninja?" "Ninja? what kind of nickname is that?" Ok, cleary she remembered very little. "I remember you. Being there for me before I left for the hospital. You are always there for me. That's all I have to remember." Looking at him adoringly now as he did the same. As the rest of the team looked inside Ziva's hospital room, they all came to the same realization that Tony had, This was not going to be easy.
