"Hey Ziva, Gibbs told me that you said that no-one would agree with him that you are a sweet girl. Of course you're sweet. And wonderful. I want to have you for the rest of my life. I love you Ziva," said Tony.
"I love you too Tony," replied Ziva.
"So why are you so self-conscious?"
"I don't know Tony. It's probably cause my father always told me that I was no good and that no-one would ever love me. He was right. Nobody has ever loved me before. Only you have Tony."
"Gibbs loves you too Ziva."
"I know. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky as to be able to work with you. When my father sent me here, it was originally to spy on Gibbs. I never really understood what my father wanted from me, but I really loved being around everyone here. So when my father told me that I had to come back to Israel, I asked Gibbs to stop my dad. I had to tell him everything but that was a small price to pay for being able to stay here."
"Did you ever actually spy on him?"
"No. I loved Gibbs from the minute I met him. I couldn't break his trust Tony."
"Good. I'm glad you stayed."
"I should've told you ages ago Tony. I've loved you from the minute I stepped foot in NCIS when I was trying to stop Gibbs from killing Ari."
"It's like we knew it all along but were too scared and embarrassed to tell each other."
Tony and Ziva laughed at their stupidity. When the doctor entered the room a few minutes later, he was surprised to see how well Ziva was looking. It seemed as though Tony was going to be the perfect solution for helping Ziva heal.
