CHAPTER 9: NIGHTMARES...
TIM AND ABBY'S APARTMENT...
After getting home Tim had convinced Abby to eat a little and then she went to lie down.
It had been over an hour and a half ago, Tim sat at his typewriter.
He stopped when he heard Abby sobbing and went to check on her. She was asleep, she was having a nightmare.
He sat down on the bed and reached over to her.
"Abby! Abby…Wake up!" Tim said and had to repeat himself several more times before she woke up.
When she saw Tim she sat up and put her arms around him. He wondered, but had a pretty good idea what she was dreaming about.
"What happened in your dream, Abby?" Tim asked and after a minute she let go a little, but kept crying.
"I-I went down to...autopsy...Ziva wa-was there. Sh-she didn't make it...Tim she...she died!" Abby told him.
"Shhh...Abby, she's okay. Ziva is going to make..." Tim began.
"We have to go back to see her, Tim." Abby said and tried to get up.
"Abby, we can go see her in the morning." Tim told her.
"You can stay here if you want, but I'm going now." Abby informed Tim.
"Abby, you're putting too much stress on yourself. You have to think of our..." Tim began.
"I've been taking care of myself and our child, but right now one of my best friends is in a coma and you may not care..." Abby began.
"How could you say that? You know I care, but we cannot camp out at the hospital and wait for her to wake up. Gibbs said he would call us with any new and he will." Tim told her.
"I'm going." Abby repeated, then getting up and Tim followed her.
ZIVA'S ROOM...
"Come on, Ziva. You have to fight, you fought so much and now you have to stay alive!" Tony called.
The doctor began shouting orders.
"I can't lose her, boss. If she dies..." Tony began looking at Gibbs.
"She will make it and you have to believe that..."
Gibbs began, and then saw Abby and Tim.
"...What are you two doing here? I thought I took you home a couple of hours ago." Gibbs said.
"Abby insisted and said she was going to come back, if I brought her or not." Tim explained
"No, it can't be real. I told you!" Abby yelled looking at Tim, as Tony and Gibbs looked confused.
"What are you talking about, Abs?" Gibbs asked.
"Abby, had a nightmare that Ziva was in autopsy." Tim explained.
After a few minutes Ziva was stabilized once more, just as Ducky walked up.
"Oh dear, what happened," Ducky asked.
"The machines just started to go..." Tony said and you could tell he was trying to be strong.
Abby leaned her head on Tim's shoulder and he put his arm around taking her hand in his.
Whatever Ducky had wanted to tell them seemed forgotten and he looked over at Abby in concern.
"Abigail, you should be home resting." Ducky informed her.
"We went home for a while, but she insisted on coming back." Tim said again as he looked at her.
They fell silent again as they watched Tony walk over to the chair and began to talk to her.
Ducky, Gibbs, Tim and Abby stood there.
"Anthony, you should be in bed after the concussion he had." Ducky said.
"I came back and the nurses said they couldn't find him. He had managed to find his way to Ziva's room and is refusing to leave her side." Gibbs told him.
"Yes, well Anthony should still be in bed." Ducky said.
It was a while later and Gibbs must have talked to someone and explained to them that the only way Tony would rest was if he was near Ziva.
Another bed was brought in and they finally persuaded Tony to get into the bed, but kept his eyes on Ziva the whole time.
Ducky, Abby, Tim and Gibbs watched the two for a few minutes longer, then left.
