DO YOU WANT TO LAY NEXT TO ME

Tony and Gibbs were still outside of Ziva's room. Gibbs knew how guilty and conflicted Tony was feeling at the moment. Ziva being in such a vulnerable state right now and still having all these strong feelings for her. Gibbs also knew that Tony would never make Ziva do anything that she didn't want to do but the problem was, she wasn't exacly Ziva right now. He just wanted to assure Tony that he was a good person, no matter what ended up happening. "Tony, you can't let something like this scare you away from helping Ziva. We both know how much you care about her so you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. We all have scary feelings that won't go away." Patting Tony on the back. "I won't hurt her boss, I promise that I won.'t but..." "Just follow your instincts, Tony. You know what she needs. Even if she doesn't know right now."

"I think I'm going to go back in. Can you get the doctor? We both want to know what's on the agenda tonight. If I'm going to be bringing her home tonight or not." Yeah, I can do that." "Thanks, boss. I'm really glad your here right now. For both of us." Gibbs just gave him a little smirk before he went to go find the doctor. Tony went back in Ziva's room who seemed to be wondering what they were talking about outside her door. Tony just gently sat down next to Ziva's bed and grabbed her hand in hs. He had to admit, it felt nice to hold Ziva's hand. "So, can we go home?" He saw the eagerness in her eyes. He jumped a little bit when Ziva brought his hand up to her mouth and gave it a few kisses. All Tony could do was close his eyes and enjoy Ziva's lips on his. "Gibbs is tracking down the doctor right now." Barely able to speak. He was enjoying this too damn much.

"Who is this guy, anyway? He doesn't really look like either one of us." Implying that he might be related to one of them. Tony just laughed at that. He knew he would have soo much explaining to do and he just didn't think he had the energy right now. "Um, he's our boss." "And what's our job, Tony?" Still searching for answers to her life. "We are partners, actually. We work at NCIS which stands for Navel Criminal Investigation Service. We solve cases and crimes that involve the Navy." "Wow, that sounds intense and he's our boss?" "Yeah, I know what you think but he's not that bad of a guy. Everyone gets that first impression of him but he slowly grows on ya." Smiling at her. He couldn't stop smiling at her. Gibbs knocked on the door gently and walked in with Ziva's doctor with him.

"Well, young lady, you have been through a lot for one day and would like to have you stay atleast one night with us before you return home but if you'll be having someone looking after you for the night, I don't see the problem with you going home. Just as long as someone he with you." Now looking over at Tony who didn't know what to think. He was so unsure about everything at the moment. "Yes, I would like that. I want to go home and spend some time with my boyfriend." Still holding his hand up to her face. "I know he'll take good care of me." Smiling at him as Tony weakly smiled back at her and then looked up at Gibbs. "I'm sure he will. I will go get the discharge papers prepared and we'll have a nurse help you get ready to leave."

After Tony and Gibbs talked privately, once again, Tony told him he would take Ziva home to her apartment but would stay with her that night. Tony wanted to start familiarizing Ziva with everything but with little things first. Like where she lived. Gibbs dropped him and Ziva off and decided to let Tony take over her care from there. He was still a little worried about the whole situation but he had to start trusting Tony with things like this. It might be awhile before things even got back to normal. He needed to get used to this. "So, here we are. Home sweet home." Opening Ziva's door for her. "This is it, hu?" Looking around her apartment. "Yes, this is it." Just standing there for a few moments as Ziva continued to look around.

She looked so blank. Like none of this meant anything to her. He knew this would change eventually but right now, all of this was new to her. "These are pictures of my family, yes?" Assuming they were. She had a few pictures of her and Ari, her and Talia, and even one with her Abba and her mother. Tony knew how much these pictures meant to her, normally. "Yep, they are and they are very important to you. There pictures of you and your family in Israel. That's where you come from, Ziva." Talking gently to her. She ran her fingers along the frames and tried to take them all in. He didn't even know how to bring up that her sister, brother,and mother weren't even alive anymore. That would take some time. There was soo much of her life that was painful and even if she didn't remember these things right now, they wouldn't be easy to hear.

"Is there a room that is mine?" Winking at Tony now who did the same to her. He didn't even know where that came from but they openly flirted before, not a whole lot has changed in the way the acted around one another. "Yep, your room is right back in here." leading her to it as she grabbed a hold of Tony's hand. He ended up aqueezing it tightly in his because he knew that's what she needed right now but to be honest, he just wanted to hold it tight in his. "And here it is." Ziva just slowly walked in her room which wasn't girly in the slightest but some of her things were feminine. She was getting more in touch with her womenly side and it started to show. "I am going to use the bathroom quick, Ziva. I will be right back." Ziva sat on the bed and it now looked like she was in deep thought. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and was going for a few minutes.

We Tony returned to her room, he saw Ziva was crying and shaking a little bit. He wanted to run over to her and take her into his arms but he's never been that way with her before. He didn't know how to start now. He slowly walked in her room and sat down on her bed. "Ziva, what's wrong?" I'm soo scared, Tony. I'm soo confused. What is all of this? What's this?" Gestering at herself in frustration. She wanted so badly to remember her life but she remembered none of it. She didn't have memories of Tony. Just that she loved him and that he meant a lot to her. Tony just rubbed her back when Ziva fell into Tony's arms. "What all this is, is you Ziva." Holding her close to him now. He didn't care at this point. He just wanted to hold her. "And this doesn't even begin to describe the amazing person that you are. I promise, in time, that me and all of your friends will remind you of all these amazing things that make you Ziva. It's just going to take some patience and some time." She looked at him now as he wiped some tears off of her face now.

Tony let Ziva get ready for bed while he sat on her bed. He knew that Ziva was still confused over her life and everything that was going on with them but what she needed right now was sleep. "You ready to hop in?" Ziva walked in her room now and she was wearing a tank top and sweats and Tony was reminded of how Ziva looked the sexiest when she looked the simpliest. He was suddenly very nervous again. Ziva got into bed and when Tony was about to pull the covers over her, she scooted over to have Tony get in with her. "Do you want to lay next to me?" Patiently waiting for Tony to get in bed with her. Um, sure." Taking a big swollow before he kicked off his shoes and slowly laid next to his partner. "I'm sorry." Tony heard Ziva say. "For what?" Looking over to her now. "I know we probably would do things before going to sleep but I'm not too tired right now." "No Ziva-" Almost letting it spill that they have never been together in that way before but he didn't want to upset her more than she already was.

"It's ok, Ziva. We have plenty of time for that." Speaking gently to her as she moved closer her. He kept his eyes on her the whole time as she adjusted herself into his embrace. "However, I wouldn't be against a kiss." Looking up at him and he knew that if he didn't kiss her, she would start to wonder why. He slowly leaned down and gave Ziva the sweetest, gentlest kiss on her soft lips. He wanted to pull away after that but his lips stayed on hers. They kept kissing and it was like his mind went blank, other than thinking about Ziva's lips on his. The kiss almost became deep until Tony forced himself to stop. "Ok, bedtime, Sweetcheeks." Breaking the passion between them gently. "Ok. Goodnight Tony." Finally resting on Tony's chest and Tony just laid there. Suddenly Ziva was fast asleep and a few tears ran down Tony's face.
