CHAPTER 5: WAKING UP...

THREE WEEKS LATER...

Gibbs stood in the corner of the room, looking out the window, Ziva still sat beside Tony holding his hand.

Ziva had only moved when she was forced to go home, take a shower, and eat. Other than that, she had not left his side.

Abby and McGee sat in chairs on the side opposite of Ziva.

It had now been three weeks since Tony, had been found and was doing all right, beside the fact he was still in a coma.

One afternoon Abby and McGee decided to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat and Gibbs went to get a coffee, and that was when it happened...Tony opened his eyes looking at Ziva.

"Ziva, what are you doing here? What happened, why are you crying? You never cry…." Tony said seeming confused.

"I-I'm just happy you're awake." Ziva told him.

"Why? Did you miss me?" Tony asked with a smile, then without thinking about what she was doing, Ziva leaned down and kissed him.

When she tried to pull away, he just pulled her closer. They only broke apart at the sound of someone clearing their throat from the doorway, when they looked their stood Abby and McGee who rushed to Tony's side and McGee.

"Rule..." Gibbs began.

"Rule 12: Never date a co-worker." Ziva finished.

"We're not dating, we were just kissing. You never did tell me why I'm here." Tony told him as he grimaced in pain.

"You were kidnapped about four weeks ago; it took us two and a half days to find you. When we did you had a bad head injury and looked like you had been deprived of food and water for a couple of days." Ziva told him.

"Hey, Zee, do you kiss everyone who comes out of a coma?" Tony asked.

"DiNozzo..." Gibbs warned as Ziva squeezed his hand hard. "Ow, Ziva," Tony exclaimed, but she smiled at him." …Does that mean you enjoyed the kiss?" He asked. "Let it go, Tony." Ziva said as she squeezed his hand as hard as she could, then let go. "Ziva, you really have to work on you handshakes." Tony said shaking his hand.

"DiNozzo, do you have any idea who took you?" Gibbs asked. "No, no idea boss." Tony replied. "What about psycho ex-girlfriends?" Abby suggested. "How about jealous husbands," Ziva added. "That's a long list of girlfriends." Tony replied.

"We'll try to narrow it down. How about in the last few years," Gibbs asked. "I don't know." Tony replied and started to think. "Well what do you know, DiNozzo?" Gibbs demanded getting frustrated.

"That I want out of this hospital...I hate hospitals." Tony grumbled. "About who attacked you, DiNozzo," Gibbs asked him.
