Chapter 10

"Arh, yeah. I think I will wait outside." And with that Tony turned and left the room.

"I am sorry Jeanne."

"Why are you sorry? You didn't waste a year of my life, lying to me."

"I am sorry because this must be painful for you."

"It's not painful, you can't be hurt by love if you weren't in love to begin with. I'm better off without him." Jeanne tried to bravely declare. It wasn't hard to see she was lying.

"I am sure you are, but for what it's worth, it took him a long time to heal after what happened, I still don't think he's forgiven himself for what he put you through." Jeanne paused. She looked satisfied with that comment, not that she said anything, but Ziva could tell that it helped her to hear, even if it pained her to say it.

"Well, it looks like everything here is good. You'll need to come in soon for a check up for the baby. Do you need a referral for a good doctor?"

"That would be good. Thank you."

"Plenty of rest and fluid, don't go doing anything too strenuous and make sure he looks after you, alright?"

"I will."

"I'll leave you to get dressed then, you'll be fine to go." Jeanne signed the piece of paper and started to head out the door. She stopped, turned back to face Ziva, "Is he happy?"

"I believe so."

"how long have you…."

"We have not been married long, we have been together for nearly 2 years."

"But you've loved him for a lot longer haven't you." Ziva bowed her head she always felt uncomfortable talking about her feelings, even with Tony, but with a complete stranger… as much as she had felt for Jeanne, she still didn't know what to say, how to say it, or if she even could say it. "I figured, that day I was at NCIS sorting out my fathers… I could tell."

"I am sorry, I never meant for you too…"

"Please, don't apologise, I get it. Do you think, that if it weren't for me, you two would have…"

"There is no point thinking about what could have been. Maybe. I certainly would not have been against it had it happened."

"Thank you, at least one of you is honest."

"Jeanne, it is important for you to remember that it was Tony's job, but that that was all he lied about, that and his name. The rest was him. He is a good man and he considered lying for the rest of his life about who he really was for you."

Jeanne bowed her head and simply left the room, Ziva slowly got out of bed and moved over to her clothes, she looked out the door and could see Jeanne talking to Tony, she tried to listen. "She's all 't mess her up like you did me."

"I.... I'm.... Thank you Jeanne."

Ziva smiled and took her clothing over to the bed, away from the open door. She carefully put her pants on, feeling every bruise on her body, she looked at her sweater, it was covered in blood from her head wond. She took the top she was wearing under it and put it on and left the sweater on the bed. She didn't think it would look good if she actually wore it. She leant down and picked up her boots and slowly put them on.

"Here, let me help you with that."

"I will be alright."

"The doc said you needed to take it easy, let me take care of you."

"Very well Tony, but this had better not be for the next 9 months."

"How could it be, you're already about 3 or 4 months pregnant!"

TTT

"McGee, McGee," Abby Yelled as she ran into the squad room. "McGee, what are you still doing here, we have to go!"

"Abby, Abby, slow down, where are we going?"

"No time, we'll talk in the car!" McGee grabbed his jacket as Abby pulled him up and he hurriedly tried to keep is arm attached as she pulled it towards the elevator. The doors opened and several agents stepped out, Abby pushed past and repeatedly pressed the 'close doors' button till eventually they did. The elevator started to descend. McGee watched Abby as she paced back and forth. Dramatically, McGee stepped forward and hit the emergency stop button. "McGee!" Abby yelled, obviously annoyed. "We don't have time for this!" She slammed her palm against the button to restart the lift.

"what's all this about Abby?"

"Scared McGee?" she said in her teasing, probing manner.

"Beginning to be, a little,"

"Relax McGee, Ziva's being released from the hospital. Tony rang when she was in talking with a doctor."

"Why wasn't he in there with her listening?"

"You'll never guess who the doctor was."

"No…. not…."

"That's right, Jeanne Benoit apparently it was a little strange him being in the room, so he left so she could check on Ziva."

"So where are we going?"

"…so we have to go pick up her stuff and take it to her place.

"Jeanne's?" McGee said, puzzled and confused in his usual manner.

Abby couldn't help but head slap him for his stupidity. "No! Ziva's stuff!"

"what do you mean get her stuff? Why aren't they just bringing it with them from the hospital?"

"Not from the hospital! Ziva's been staying at a hotel. Ever since that Miriam woman tried to… you know."

"But that was ages ago."

"Yeah."

"Well how come I didn't know."

"Oh please McGee, there are so many things you don't know!"

"So why are we in such a rush? It can't be that hard to check her out and grab all her stuff. She's Ziva, she could live out of a backpack with out anyone knowing!"

"Tony also wants balloons and flowers and stuff at the apartment when she gets there."

"Still, it shouldn't take that long to buy a few get well soon gifts and decorations."

"You haven't heard the hardest part yet."

"What's that?"

"We have to get Gibbs away from his boat and to their apartment!"

"now that could make it a little more difficult."
