NCIS BULLPEN...
Tony walked into the Bullpen, Gibbs was nowhere to be seen.
Probie was already working hard at his desk and it seemed he had zoned everything around him out.
Tony then sat in his desk chair with a groan, he closed his eyes. He was tired and sore...
Sore from falling asleep in the chair beside Ziva and tired from waking up a few hours later.
Then talking for an hour and a half, before she had gone back to sleep.
After he got home, he replayed the conversation over and over.
Then when he finally did fall asleep...his alarm went off.
So Tony had gotten up, got ready for work and made his way to NCIS.
"Hey, Tony, Are you okay?" It was Abby; Tony had not really looked at Probie's desk.
He could tell by the sound of the computer keyboard that Probie was there...
'So how had he not seen Abby sitting beside him? She was kind of hard to miss.'
"Tony?" Abby's voice again.
"Yeah, just a little tired." Tony replied.
"Did you ever go home last night, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked walking by Tony's desk and over to his own.
"We were talking and she fell asleep and I fell asleep in the chair. Something made me wake up and she was staring at me. I asked what she was thinking about and she said she thought it was a dream...she remembered something." Tony said with a smile.
"What did she remember?" Abby asked eagerly.
So Tony told them that Ziva what had remembered.
"She remembered the two of you being undercover? I wonder why she doesn't remember anything..." Abby began.
"Don't pressure her to remember, her memory has to come back on its own in time." Gibbs said looking over at Abby.
Tony's eyes first traveled over to Ziva's desk and he wondered if it would ever be her desk again; If she would return to NCIS and how much would change...Then Tony looked over at McGee's desk, where Abby was sitting as close as she could without getting in the way, while Tim tried to work.
Tony knew that he was jealous...
Tim and Abby had each other, with a baby on the way.
Tony wondered if things would work out and he could have the same thing with, Ziva. He worried that she would never remember...but, she had remembered something and that was good.
"DiNozzo," Came Gibbs' voice.
"On it, Boss," Tony said getting a look from the two over at Tim's desk.
Tony then tried to get to work on what was on his desk.
LUNCH TIME...
It was hours later when Tony saw Abby and Tim leave for lunch. Gibbs was nowhere to be found. Tony wanted to go get something to eat, but couldn't move.
Maybe I'll close my eyes for just a minute...
Tony fell asleep.
ZIVA'S HOSPTIAL ROOM...
Ziva so bored she was trying to watch TV, but she was also trying to remember her life.
Tony had been here into to the early hours of the morning and they had talked a little more, before he left.
She told him something that seemed like a dream, but Tony had said it wasn't a dream...it was a memory; If she remembered that...How far away were the rest of her memories?
Ziva had been lost in thought, and then something made her look over to the door as two people from the day before walked in.
"Hey, Ziva," Abby said, walking up to stand beside her bed.
"Abby and Tim McGee, yes?" Ziva asked.
"Yeah, Tony told us that you remembered something during the night." Abby said with a smile.
"He told you about that? Where is he?" Ziva asked.
"Tony's at work..." Tim began.
"Tim is on lunch and we decided to come see you. Tony, was still working when we left." Abby told her.
Ziva had to admit...
That though Tony had stayed almost the whole night, she was kind of disappointed he wasn't with them.
Not that she minded, but she had been looking forward to seeing him again.
"Ziva," Abby's voice again and Ziva looked at her.
"I was just thinking." Ziva told her.
"About Tony," Abby asked with a sly smile and Ziva looked at her in surprise.
"Yes, I am still very confused. When we talked he told me what I said was when we were undercover. I asked if we had ever dated and he said no, but there was something in his eyes. I asked him and he said that we did, before the accident. I just wish that I could remember!" Ziva said in frustration and looked away so they wouldn't see the tears in her eyes.
She was surprised when Abby gave her a hug. Well as best as Abby could with being seven months pregnant.
It seemed normal and Ziva thought about it as Abby stepped back beside Tim.
Then it hit Ziva, she gasped and looked at the two. Tim and Abby looked alarmed.
"You hug everyone and...And never ask permission." Ziva said looking at Abby and Abby smiled.
"You remember!" Abby yelled and seemed happy; just as the door opened and in came Ziva's lunch.
In little pieces Ziva was starting to remember, it was just little things and she was trying to do as one of the men from last night...
Gibbs? Yes that was right...
Had said to do and hang on the pieces.
"I cannot wait to get out of here, there is nothing to do and the food is terrible." Ziva said, but started to eat anyway.
"I have to go..." Tim said looking down at his watch and was surprised how fast the time had gone.
"I can stay and keep you company if you want." Abby told her and Ziva thought for a minute before shaking her head.
"I-I think I need some time to store things out in my head." Ziva said and the other two laughed.
"Sort, Ziva, you need time to sort things out. We'll come back later, okay?" Abby inquired and gave her another hug.
Ziva watched as the two left and for a long time after she had eaten.
NCIS BULLPEN...
"DiNozzo," Gibbs barked walking past Tony's desk.
Gibbs had watched Abby and Tim leave for lunch, that was around the same time he had gone to meet the director.
So for the past hour Tony had probably been the only one in the Bullpen and had fallen asleep.
"On it, boss!" Tony yelled jerking awake, but neither one of them had a chance to say anything else.
"She remembered something!" Abby said making her way as fast as she could into the bullpen.
"Abby, gave Ziva one of her hugs and Ziva remembered that Abby always gave hugs without permission." Tim said as he came to stand beside Abby, who looked like she had too many Caf-Pows.
Tony smiled and thought...
Maybe...just maybe, things would be all right and go back to the way they were.
ZIVA'S HOSPITAL ROOM...
THAT EVENING...
She must have fallen asleep for a while, because she woke up when she felt someone watching her and then smiled...
Tony had come back as he had promised.
"Hey, McGoo and Abby told me you were had nothing to do. So I brought you something." Tony said and held a book out to her.
"Deep Six: The Continuing Adventures of L.J. Tibbs, by Thom E. Gemcity?" Ziva asked confused as she read the cover of the book.
"Yeah, I thought it might help you to remember. McTim wrote it." Tony told her with a smile and Ziva looked at him.
"Last night you called him McGeek and today you called him McGoo, I thought his name last name was McGee." Ziva said.
"It is, but I told you last night I have a list of names for him. I was an only child and McGoo is like a brother I never had. When Abby and Probie...that's another name for him...got back to the NCIS Bullpen, she was going like she had too many Caf-Pows and..." Tony began.
"Caf-Pows," Ziva interrupted.
"Yeah, it's sort of energy drink. She hasn't been able to have one in the last few months though, because every time she tries to have one the baby doesn't like it. When they came into the Bullpen after lunch, I thought she had finally got to have one. Then she told me and Gibbs that you remembered something else." Tony finished.
"She gave me a hug and I..." Ziva began.
"I know, Zi." Tony said with a smile sitting down in the chair beside the bed again.
For a few minutes they sat in silence as she read a few pages of the book, he took the remote and tried to see if there was a movie on TV.
