Getting Ziva Back

by d.graslie

After Ziva is knocked unconscious and sent to the hospital, she finally wakes up and appears to only remember Tony, as her boyfriend? Gibbs and the rest of the team are determined to get there old Ziva back but there's only one problem, Tony loves the new one. I'm not an expert on memory loss and there might be several flaws in this story. I'm doing my best.

14. Chapter 14

I CAN ALMOST SWEAR

"So, I guess you all got a break from me, hu?" Joking around with all of her friends and co workers now. "Ziva, that isn't even funny. We hated seeing you like this." Giving Ziva another one of her bear hugs that she honestly love getting right now. "Well, if I knew that it was true, It's good to be back to my normal self. Where's Tony? Why has he not come in?" Feeling kind of bad at the moment because she honestly thought he would be the first one to come in and see her. "He just has a lot on his mind right now, Ziva. He'll come to you when he's ready." Talking for the boy now. "He's had a lot of responsibility ever since you left us, Ziva."

McGee nudged her in the ribbs now, making her believe that she said too much, too quick. "What do you mean, he's had a lot of responsiblity since I left?" Gibbs just sat down on the bed now to prepare himself for talking to Ziva. "Well, it turns out that when you fell and hit your head, you were able to converse with Tony before you completely lost consciousness. I guess you guys said some things to each other and whatever you may have said, effected your memory because when you woke up in the hospital, only hours later, you could only remember Tony." Ziva just let that sink in for a few moments because even though she didn't remember what was said, she knows it was something she had been waiting to say for years.

"So, Tony took responsibility for me?" They all shook their heads in admiration for Tony now. "He like took care of me?" She couldn't believe he did that for her. "He stayed with you every night. He even arranged a trip to Israel hoping some of that stuff from back home would help with your memory." "You mean he went with me to Israel." "Yep, there was no way he would let anyone else go with you. It was all his idea." "I can't believe he did all of that for me." Truly touched and everyone in that room gave a look that said, "Of course he did. He loves you, Ziva."

"It was the strangest thing. All I can remember is laying on Tony's living room floor and him holding me and I can almost swear that he said he loved me." Wanting answers from people who could not give them to her because they weren't there. The only one that could confirm this was Tony and Gibbs because of the conversation they had about her the other night and Gibbs just didn't feel like it was his place to say. It had to come from Tony and his stubbern heart. Ziva was suddenly conflicted about all of this. If Tony did love her and he did all of this because of his feelings for her then why was he running away from her now? What could of happened that would make Tony suddenly avoid her?
