"Tony, you've been here two days now, go home and get some sleep."

"No Abby, I'm fine."

"But Tony..."

"Abby! I said I'm fine!"

Tony was frustrated, it had been two days, two long and painful days. There was no sign of Ziva waking up not even a flicker of her finger. He dint mean to shout at Abby, he was just so tiered and angry at the world, he loved Abby dearly and dint mean to hurt her. Abby was silent, she never took it to heart, she knew how much he loved Ziva and did not blame him for being snappy with her. She slowly placed her arms around his neck. Abby was always a touchy feely type of person, she kept him in a tight grip to comfort him. This is what Tony needed, affection from a friend.

"I'm sorry Abby, for shouting at you."

"Its fine Tony... she will pull though. I know she will. She's a ninja remember."

She slowly let go of Tony and lightly kissed his cheek. Tony responded with a small smile. Abby walked to the chair on the other side of the hospital bed and placed a small bag down.

"That's a change of clothes for when Ziva wakes up, she will want to put something on. I also put some clothes in there for you too."

"Thanks Abby."

In a second Abby had left the room turning the light off. The room was dimly lit by a small lamp that was located on the bed side table. Tony knew that he should have gone home, he was extremely tiered and did need some rest. He dint want to go in case she woke up, he wants to be the first person she sees when she opens her beautiful brown eyes. The only time he has ever let go of her hand in the two days of being there was to ether go to the toilet or when the doctors told him he had to leave for a couple of minutes. He held onto her hand so tightly that if she was awake she would have probably slapped him across the head and told him to get off, but she wasn't so he held on as tight as he could.

"Ziva, I don't think I can take this anymore. Will you please just wake up. Please. From the moment you wake up I am going to be with you forever, I'm never going to leave you, ever. I am going to love you everyday of your life even if you don't love me. I just want to spend my life with you, with you in my arms. I want to feel your breath warm on my face. I just want you Zee, only you. So hurry up and wake up so I can kiss you and hold you, and tell you how much I love you."

He sat watching her chest going up and down for hours, it gave him comfort that at least something was moving, she was still alive. Tony dint want to go asleep, he thought that if he closed his eyes something might happen and he won't be able to stop it. The human body could only take too much and Tony's gave in, his eyes slowly started to close. Tony rested his head on the side of the bed next to Ziva's and his hand.

"Tony...Tony...TONY!"

"Ziva!"

Tony's head shot up, it took him a minute to registrar, things were quite a blur. He looked at the women in the bed, she was awake, she was sitting up with her hair beautifully hanging around her face.

"Ziva...you're awake?"

"Ermm I guess so Tony."

She had a perfect smile on her face, she looked completely and utterly beautiful. Tony couldn't believe that she was actually awake, he wanted to just scoop her up in his arms and kiss every inch of her but he just sat there with tears in his eyes. Ziva leaned over and placed her hand on his, very lightly she squeezed. With that Tony stood up and took Ziva's head in his hands.

"Don't ever do that to me again Ziva!"

Tony swiftly pressed his lips against hers completely crushing them together. It was fast for a few seconds but Ziva slowed it down to a slower kiss. Her hands slid up his neck and onto his face, this sent shivers down Tony's spine, it was like a switch was flipped, he slowly climbed onto the bed with Ziva and laid her down slowly resting her head on the pillow behind her. They kept kissing for what felt like hours, it was perfect. She pulled away from the kiss and just smiled that beautiful smile she had, she looked like an angel, her face was glowing, she was stunning he thought.

"I love you Tony."

"I love you Ziva."

They looked deep into each other's eyes, both smiling. Soon Ziva's smile was no longer there, Tony watched her fade away, he was confused, were is she going? Why was she disappearing?

"Bye Tony"

"Wait! Ziva! Where are you going! Ziva! Ziva!"

Tony's head shot up from the edge of the bed, his hand was still tangled up in her hand.

"Ziva!" Tony shouted as his head rose and his eyes opened.

He looked at the hand that was in his and then at her face, she was still in a deep sleep. It had been so real to him, her touch of her hands, her lips on his, his hands in her hair but it was all a dream. Tony closed his eyes and took a deep breath, once his eyes were open he noticed someone sitting on the chair in the corner of the room.

"How long you been here Boss?"

"Long enough to know that you need to go home DiNozzo"

"Boss I'm fine, really I'm fine"

"Tony that was an order, go home and take a shower, get something to eat, sleep in your bed."

"I'm not leaving her Gibbs!"

"You're not, I'm gonna stay till tomorrow, then you can come back. Do you really want to look like hell when she wakes up? I'm sure that's what she wants to see. Go on."

Gibbs though his car keys into Tony's free hand and smiled. Tony slowly got up, he dint want to leave her but Gibb's was right he wanted to be able to hug her and hold her when she woke up, he dint think she would like that if he smelt bad. Tony placed one hand on her cheek and then kissed her lightly on the head.

"I'll be back Ziva. Call me if anything happens Gibbs."

Gibbs nodded his head and Tony was gone.

All Tony could think of was Ziva lying in her bad on her own, even though Gibbs was there he felt that she was abandoned by him. Once Tony got home he ran himself a hot bath and made himself something to eat because he couldn't lie, he was starving. He lay in the bath for a while just lost in his thoughts, they were mostly about Ziva. Not one second went by when he never hated himself for leaving her in the hospital but Gibbs was with her so she would be safe, he hoped. After Tony had finished in the bath he was so drained that he had to drag himself into bed, his legs found it hard to carry him. Once his head hit the soft cold pillow he was in a deep sleep.

Tony was startled when his phone started ringing. He felt around for it but he couldn't find it. He got out of bed in a flash, all he could think of was something was wrong with Ziva. He ran around the house trying to find the stupid phone. He ran into the living room and found the phone sitting next to Gibbs' car keys.

"Boss!"

"DiNozzo you need to get to the hospital now!"

In a shot Tony slammed the phone shut, put his shoes on and was out the door.
