THAT IS JUST NOT ME, ABBY
Abby was down in her lab, putting all her baby's to work when Ziva came down to pay her a little visit. She couldn't just stay upstairs with two of the men in her life that weren't saying anything. She didn't even know if she could get Abby to say anything and if Abby even knew anything but she knew that Abby would atleast listen. "Hello, Abby." "Ziva, you're back. Finally!" Giving Ziva the biggest hug that she suprisingly welcomed. "Yes, it's good to be back. Sort of." Giving Abby this look of total discontent that she noticed right away. "Ziva, what's wrong? Aren't you glad to be back home with us?" Sitting down on a chair as Ziva did the same.
"Abby, can I ask you question?" "Of course you can, Ziva. You're one of my best friends." "Did something happen between me and Tony while I wasn't, you know, all there?" Not really beating around this bush anymore. "Nooo." Thinking about her answer now and not being completey sure herself, anymore. "Well, there was that whole trip he took with you in Israel but that's all I can really think of." Ziva just shook her head, hoping that Abby would have more to say. If Ziva even knew how much hope she had for her and Tony to admit there feelings for each other,that would make things soo more more easier to talk about. The potential they had as a couple was amazing, they just had to realize for themselves and suddenly Abby got one of her brilliant idea's.
"Ziva, you have to know how much Tony cares about you and that he would never, ever do anything to hurt you. I was hoping these past several days would of proven that." "Trust me, Abby. If I know anything now, it's that Tony does care about me but that doesn't mean that we have everything figured out. That we're anything close to being on the same page." Abby now stood up from her chair. "Well, lets get your spirits up, chicky. I am having everyone from the team joining me for bowling tonight and it was supposed to be your welcome home party and you were't really supposed to know but I can let that slide for now." Suddenly ammused with her friend. "What happened to the nuns?" "Oh, they bailed on me. Something about serving soup to the homeless or something." Ziva just chuckled at that.
"Why don't you come over to my place, right after you get done with work and we can make sure that Tony doesn't miss work ever again." Ziva suddenly got a funny feeling in her stomic. "What exacly did you have in mind, Abby?" Not really liking where this was going. "Look at me, Ziva. If anyone can make you stand out, it's me." "And why would I want to stand out for anyone? That is just not me, Abby." "Not just for anyone, Ziva. Tony. The reason you can't seem to get any work done." Ziva just shook her head in denial now which was just typical for her. "He's a lot of things, Abby but he's definetely not the reason I can't get any work done." "Ziva, you have to admit, he's been on your mind a lot lately and it's not just lately, we're talking years. Don't you think, after everything that's happened, it's time to finally do something about this?"
"Alright, he's been on my mind for an annoyingly long time now but that could be for a lot of reasons. I just don't understand what's going on with him. With us." "Well then, what's wrong with trying to push that conversation along?" "I don't know, Abby." Something just isn't right about this idea. "Ziva, I may not be able to tell you what has happened with you and Tony last night or the night before that but If I can do anything to help the two of you now, what's wrong with a little get together between close friends?" Acting all sweet and innocent now as Ziva gave her a weird smile. "Don't worry about Tony. I will call him and keep calling. All you have to do is show up and prepare to be stared at." Hugging Ziva who just didn't know what to think. "God, what are you up to, Abby?"
