A/N: Sorry for the late update guys, I've been having a bad couple days :( I'm sorry if there are mistakes, it's 11 pm here and I just finished it. Oh, and the end won't make sense if you haven't seen 11x2, just to warn you.

Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS. I wouldn't be here if I did.

"No, Abby, I am fine!" Ziva all but shouted at her best friend. "I am fine, and I am going to see Tony!"

"Alright, Ziva. Just this once, because I have a feeling I'm not the only one who can kill someone and not leave any forensic evidence behind…" Abby trailed off when she realized that the other woman had left. She smiled and went off, not to eavesdrop, just to make sure nobody ended up dead.

"Tony?" Ziva knocked on his door softly.

"Come in, Zi."

Ziva opened the door and walked in. Tony was sitting in his hospital bed, looking at her warmly. She walked across the room and sat down in the chair next to him.

"So, Ziva, I think we need to talk." Tony took advantage of the fact that she was there and they were alone. "Zi, when I found out Orli was out to get you, a lot of thing happened. I was furious and worried and heartbroken. I-I realized something. I tried to tell you before, and we were well, interrupted. Ziva David, I think I am in love with you."

"Tony, when I saw you lying on the ground in a pool of blood, I knew. I knew before, I think. When I made you leave me in Israel I think I knew. Oh, Tony, I think I am in love with you."

Tony grabbed her hand and touched his lips briefly to hers. Ziva looked into his emerald green eyes and saw her own feelings reflected in his eyes.

"OH MY GOD, you guys are such idiots!" Abby ruined the moment by rushing into the room and throwing her arms around the two of them.

"Who's an idiot?" Tim chose this moment to poke his head into the room.

"Ah, that was an interesting- what is going on in there?" Ducky asked, amused.

"They've finally figured out the meaning of rule 5." Gibbs took one glance at the situation and immediately understood. "McGee, go pull Abbs off of them. I think she's suffocating DiNozzo." the boss cracked a rare smile.

"Took you long enough." He followed Tim into the room and shooed the junior agent and the forensic scientist out gently.

"Gibbs, what was it you said about rule 5?" Tony ran a hand over his ribs and winced slightly.

"Rule number 5 is 'Don't waste good'. What you two have is good, even if you don't know what it is."

"I am going to take that as a compliment." Tony grinned at his joke and Ziva and Gibbs rolled their eyes.

"Now, there's one problem. I have a rule against this." Gibbs pointed from Tony to Ziva.

"Gibbs, technically I am not an NCIS agent, so…" Ziva stopped talking as Gibbs stared pointedly at her. "No, as of this moment you are not. Something tells me that'll change soon." Gibbs stood up and walked out. He paused at the door. "Oh, and DiNozzo, that thing I told you about rule 12 not applying when your partner's in danger? We'll discuss it later."

"Wait, Gibbs!" Ziva didn't get a chance to finish talking before Gibbs pointed at Tony's bedside table. On it was a form reading 'NCIS Special Agent Application'. There was another piece of paper below it: both of Ziva's I Will lists, one on each side.

Gibbs walked out and shut the door.

"He never ceases to amaze me." Tony smiled and pointed to the list. "Can we cross that one off?"

Ziva picked up a pen and started filling out the application form. "Yes, I believe we can."

I can so see Abby doing that on the show.

Make my day and review. Please?
