I CAN'T FACE HER RIGHT NOW, BOSS
Tony had gotten in touch with everyone that night and he told them he was bringing Ziva to the hospital because something seemed to have triggered Ziva's memory. He brought Ziva to the hospital himself because he felt so responsible for everything that has happened to her. No words were spoken, and Tony could even look Ziva in the face right now. All he could think about is what he let happen. Ziva may have seemed to be in control but the truth was, she wasn't herself and he had taken advantage of that. He felt like pure scum. Ziva wasn't exacly sure what was even going on yet. She just remembered waking up on Tony's floor and him insisting that they get her checked out.
She was pretty annoyed at this point because she didn't feel like anything was wrong with her. Her head felt kind of funny but that was hardly a reason to go to the hospital inthe middle of the damn night. They got Ziva checked in and they had in her in one of the waiting rooms. McGee and Abby showed up together, And Gibbs and Ducky shortly after that. Abby wanted to be the first to see Ziva and McGee decided to go in and join them. Gibbs was instantly concerned about Tony. Almost more than Ziva. First off, he wasn't in Ziva's room with her. He was just pacing the halls like he was when they first brought Ziva to the hospital. Something was seriously bothering Tony and it wasn't just that Ziva now had her memory back.
Ducky could sense that Gibbs wanted a world alone with Tony so he excused himself to get them all cups of coffee. Gibbs just gave Tony his famous stare and it forced Tony to speak up. "What?" He said, amost defensely. "You don't seem to happy. I thought you would be pleased to see Ziva better. Atleast she's remembering who we all are now." Tony just ran his nervous hand through his messy hair that he had no time to even fix yet. Gibbs knew if Tony didn't take the time to fix his hair, that something was wrong. "Speak, Dinozzo." Tony just stood there for the longest time before his body literally pushed him to say something. "I scrued up, Boss. Really bad."
"Well, I can sense that, Dinozzo. I'm sure whatever it is, can't be that bad." He was now sitting in one of the chairs, waiting for Tony to do the same but he needed to stand and say this. "I slept with her, Boss." Gibbs just rolled his eyes,thinking he was hearing something that he had already been told. "Yes, I know you've been staying over with Ziva the last couple of nights, Tony. I'm aware of that." "No, you are not getting it, Boss. I mean I slept with her." Gibbs now stood up and faced Tony. As weirded out as he was to be hearing this now, he wasn't all that suprised by it. "I mean clothes off, body on body." "Ok, I get it, Tony." Finally giving Tony his head slap that he was only half prepared for.
"I deserve more than one, Boss. Let me have it." Gibbs just stood there now and stared at Tony so he would eventually snap out of it and face him. "You don't deserve a concusion but you sure deserve a talkin to." "Trust me, Boss. There's nothing you can say right now that I havn't already said to myself. Anything nasty word that I can come up with, I'm worse than that." Starting to ramble as Gibbs just tried his best to stay patient. "Shut up, Dinozzo. Like I said, I don't want to hear any of the details but I'll just take your word for it, that your relationship with Ziva has changed for good now." "Yes, and it's all my fault." Breaking down now, hoping he wasn't making to big of a scene.
"I was doing pretty good for a while. You know, just being her friend, giving her someone to talk to. I honestly thought that I could handle Ziva like this but slowly, little by little, her walls came down and my came down with hers." Gibbs couldn't believe Tony's confession. This was eating him alive and Gibbs didn't think Tony deserved to do this to himself. This situation was difficult and he knew that Tony didn't end up sleeping with Ziva for his on personal gain. He did it because he thought that's what she needed and that's exacly what Gibbs told him to do. "Boss, if this could of happened any other way, I might of been able to live with it but it had to happen like this and now I can't take it back." "Dinozzo, to be honest, your relationship with Ziva changed the minute she hit the ground. Your feelings for one another were tested when Ziva got hurt and now you both have to deal with it and you're right, Ziva wasn't exacly herself this whole time but one thing that didn't leave her memory for one second, was her feelings for you. That is one thing that she couldn't let go of."
Gibbs knew that Tony was still feeling so lost right now but he wanted to go in and see Ziva. "Are you coming?" Hoping Tony would join him in visiting Ziva. "I can't. You go ahead." "You'll have to talk to her sooner or later, Dinozzo." Tony knew that was the truth but right now he was running from Ziva and he was completely ok with that. "I know I will. I can't face her right now, Boss. I just can't." Gibbs just shook his head and eventually left Tony to think some more. Before leaving, he slowly walked up to Ziva's room and peaked in to see Ziva enjoying her company. Abby taking every chance she got to hug Ziva. Ziva wanted to see Tony. That would make her whole family complete. She could sense that he was somewhere near by so she looked to her door to see Tony looking in. He just smiled at her when she quickly did the same. She got this strong feeling in her heart when she saw his face and it was almost powerful enough to make her pass out again. She didn't know why but she knew something had changed between her and Tony. He quickly walked away now, leaving Ziva to want nothing more than to have him in that room with her.
