Ok so the season finale was like amazing! Rule #51 . . . what did he mean by it? Was it about Rule #13- Never, Ever involve a lawyer or was it about him thinking that he is a good cop? Who knows? We'll have to wait until September to find out I guess (curse season finales!) Tomorrow is the last day of finals (thank goodness!) so I should get those creative juices flowing again sometime next week . . . the chapters won't be as crappy, I promise! Just let me know what you think of this chapter! Now enough rambling . . . on with the show!
Chapter 5-Home
"Can she go home today, Doc?" "Yes, sir. I think she could be released this afternoon. She will not need to return to work for at least another month to make sure that her lung has properly healed." "Thanks, Doc." "Anytime." The young doctor walked off. Gibbs turned around, almost spilling his coffee cup's contents all over Tony's brand new Armani jacket. "Whoa, sorry Boss. Hey, can Ziva go home soon?" "This afternoon." Tony began to walk off; "DiNozzo!" "Yeah, Boss?" "You stay with her; don't let her out of your site, you got that?" "Yes, Boss. Can I—," "Go get your girl, DiNozzo." Tony grinned. Finally, I can take my girl home. How did Gibbs know anyway? Well, it doesn't matter, he was going to find out eventually. "And, DiNozzo," Gibbs took a step closer to Tony; "if you hurt her, you will answer to me, and only to me. You got that? Protect her, Tony." "Got it Boss," he said as he grinned and walked, or more like skipped, to Ziva's room to tell her the good news.
Finally, I'm going home. Home, with him. The two of us, together, alone, at last. Oh how I've waited for this day to come. I will not be back in the field for awhile though, and I'm bummed about that but other than that, I'm grateful just to be going home. I'm going home, back to the place where I belong, and where your love has always been enough for me. I'm finally, going home.
"Tony, really, I'm fine." It was about five o'clock in the afternoon and Tony had insisted that he stay the night with her, just in case. "No you're not, Ziva. You just got home from the hospital after a near-fatal accident and therefore, you are not fine." "If you would like to stay, you may." Tony, please stay. I do not wish to be alone. Especially after being shot at . . . probably a plot of my father's. "Just for tonight, Ziva. I'll be out of your way tomorrow." She nodded as she began to go retrieve some blankets for Tony, but Tony held her back. "Come here, Zee." He kissed her. "I love you so much, Ziva. I am always here for you no matter what, you know that." "Yes, I do, Tony. Thank you." She kissed him back. That kiss seemed to last a lifetime; their first real kiss. "I love you, Tony DiNozzo." She smiled and continued on her quest for a blanket or two.
How could I have been so stupid? The woman I've been looking for has been right her in front of me all along; at least I finally realized that. I don't know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and soul; she loves me as well, and that's all that matters. Gibbs, well, I don't care about his stupid rules, and frankly, I don't think he cares about his very special, sacred Rule #12; I don't even understand why he has that rule. That is why he added a new rule; Rule #51: Sometime—you're wrong.
