CHAPTER 9: THE FIGHT...

TONY AND ZIVA...

"So are we headed back to my apartment now?" Tony asked. "Yes, Tony, we are." Ziva said. "So what do you want to do when we get there?" Tony asked.

"Not the same thing you do, I am sure." Ziva told him. "Come on, Zi. Gibbs gave us the permission to break rule 12." Tony told her.

"Just because we can start dating, does not mean we need to go fast and have sex the first night. I'll take the couch." Ziva told him.

"You're no fun." Tony told her. "You're still recovering from being kidnapped. By the way how does a trained NCIS agent get kidnapped?" Ziva asked as they pulled into the parking lot of Tony's apartment building.

"They were waiting for me and hit me over the head as soon as I got out of the car. I had my back turned and never saw them." Tony told her as he unlocked the door to his apartment.

ABBY AND TIM...

It did not take them long to reach Tim's apartment.

"Come on up, Tim." Abby said climbing out of the passenger's seat.

McGee climbed out of the car and followed her up to his apartment. She unlocked the door and he followed her in. Then she grabbed them a couple of drinks, while he sat down on the couch.

"I told you Gibbs would know. He'd figured out that we've been dating since a little before Tony disappeared." Abby said sitting down beside him. "I know." McGee said taking both their drinks and setting them on a table.

She leaned her head against his shoulder and he put his arms around her.

"McGee?" Abby asked. "Hmmm," McGee replied half asleep. "If you're going to fall asleep, why don't we go lay down in your bed. So you won't be sore in the morning." Abby suggested.

"You know what happens when we usually end up in my bed, Abs." McGee told muttered as Abby smiled.

He opened his eyes and looked at her, then smiled back.

"All right, come on. But you have to promise to keep your hands to yourself so we can get some sleep." McGee said as she got up and grabbed her hand. "What I said was that, 'I will promise to TRY and keep my hands to myself.'" Abby reminded him with a smile as she lay down on the bed and he lay down beside her.

As soon as McGee lay down, she slid over with her head on his shoulder and arms around him.

"Abby." McGee warned. "I just want to lay here with you." She said kissing his cheek.

"Abby." McGee repeated. "What?" She asked as she began to move her hands up his side. "This is not sleeping." McGee told her as he grabbed her hands.

"I know." Abby said as she kissed him on the lips. "I told you I want to try and get some sleep." McGee told her. "Fine," Abby said as she moved away and turned her back to him.

"Abby, it's not that I don't want to. I'm just tired and would like to get a little sleep." McGee told her.

Abby just ignored him and shrugged away his hand on her shoulder. Finally, McGee rolled over his back to her and soon they were both asleep.

TONY AND ZIVA...

"...on, Zee. We can at least lie in the same bed. You don't have to take the couch like you did before." Tony told her.

"Tony, I don't think..." Ziva began. "Hey, you were the one that was crying and then kissing me, when I came out of the coma." Tony reminded her.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ziva asked. "Because I know you love me and would..." Tony began. "Do almost, almost anything for you. Right now, you need to rest and get better. So why don't you go at lay down?" Ziva suggested.

"Because I want you to come lay down with me," Tony told her with a grin. "Fine, Tony, I will lay down with you. If you try something I will kill you." Ziva told him. "You won't kill me...you love me." Tony told her as they lay down in the bed.

Tony and Ziva soon fell asleep in each other's arms.

MONDAY MORNING...

Together Abby and Tim drove to work in silence.

THE SQUAD ROOM...

When they got there, Tim went straight to his desk and slammed his bag to the floor.

"Hey, Probie, wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?" Tony asked. "Leave me alone." Tim growled.

"Whoa, it's McGrumpy this morning. Something happen?" Tony asked. "I said leave me alone." Tim repeated and made his way over to Tony's desk.

"Gear up; we have a...what's going on here?" Gibbs asked. "McGee woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Tony said and Tim slapped him hard upside the head.

"McGee, I want you to stay here. DiNozzo, Ziva you're with me." Gibbs said. "Why am I...?" Tim started. "Because your attitude needs adjusting and I need you to help Abby sort through some evidence." Gibbs told him.

ABBY'S LAB...

"I don't want to talk to you right now, McGee." Abby said as he walked in the door. "We do need to talk and will do that later, but Gibbs sent me down here to help you sort through the evidence from Friday." McGee told her.

"This is what I was afraid of, if we got into a relationship again, Tim." Abby told him. "Abby, I thought we were going to talk about this later." McGee reminded her. "Fine, then let's just work on the case." Abby told him. "Fine, but I don't want you distracting me anymore then you already have." McGee told her.

"You were the one that didn't want to do anything last night!" Abby yelled at him. "Because I was tired, Abby," McGee yelled back. "That has never stopped you before!" Abby yelled at him as the door to the lab opened and in walked Tony and Ziva.

"What are you two screaming about? We heard you before the elevator doors opened." Tony said.

"Nothing," Tim and Abby said as he turned back to the evidence and she began working on her computer. "Something..." Tony began. "Drop it." Tim growled.

"You and Abby have been having a little lovers fight." Tony said putting it together and Ziva grabbed Tim before he could hit Tony.

"Tony take McGee back up to the Squad Room. I will stay here and help sort through the evidence." Ziva said and everyone stared at her.
