Chapter 6: Dead Weight and Regrets

(Recap:

Ziva's POV

I sat alone with a knife to my wrists. I had called Abby a crazy bitch. I hurt Gibbs and i quit my job. I knew if i ever showed my face again, Gibbs would have me killed. I had hurt the person i love and my child too. I abandoned them and i had told Abby she should have had an abortion. My head was spinning and i wanted to vomit. I sliced my right wrist but then i heard foot steps. I looked up and saw Gibbs.

"Told you i'd find ya!" Gibbs said in anger.

I simply looked at him and sliced my left wrist.

"It is over!" I said then put the knife to my throat. I drug the blade until i couldn't breath. Then i passed out.

End of Ziva's POV)

Author's POV

Gibbs saw Ziva slice her wrist along with her throat. Gibbs rushed over to her, took his shirt off and ripped it to place it on the three deep cuts she had given herself.

"If you die, Abby will too. Snap out if it David!" Gibbs yelled at Ziva as he carried her out of the small dusty building.

(4 hours later)

Ziva woke up in a hospital bed. She looked around an found Abby asleep in a bed next to her. Ziva got up not remembering what had happened. As she sat up she felt a sharp pain in her neck. She also saw her wrists were bandaged. Then she remembered what had happened. She tried to kill herself. She had told Abby horrible things. She had hurt Gibbs. Just then she looked over to her right. On a small table there was her badge and gun, along with a note.

"Ziva,

If you ever do anything like this again or hand me you gun and badge, you better be prepared to loose them for good. Fix things with Abby and don't you dare leave her again.

-Gibbs

P.s. Abby and you have the next 2 months off of work. Don't let me catch either of y'all at NCIS."

Ziva sat the note down and went over to Abby, who was still sleeping. Abby, unlike her, with a heavy sleeper. Abby only stirred a bit when Ziva placed her hand on Abby's 4 month pregnant belly.

"Zee?" Abby said weakly.

"Yes." Was all Ziva could said. Ziva tried to remove her hand from Abby belly but Abby held on to it.

"Don't go! Please. I'm sorry! I should have told you i was anorexic. Please Ziva don't leave me. I do love you and i love our baby. Please?" Abby said tears flowing down her face.

"Abigail, do not blame yourself. I was foolish to let such a small thing drive me crazy...Abby? What did you do to your arms?" Ziva said grabbing one of Abby bandaged arms.

"I cut myself when you left. I thought you were gone forever so i didn't wanna live anymore." Abby said crying harder.

Ziva pulled Abby in for a hug. Ziva cradled Abby's head to her chest and kisses the top of her head. Ziva placed her free hand on Abby swollen belly.

"Abby, i almost killed myself too. I am not mad at you. I was mad at myself. I love you Abby. And i am so sorry i ever said you should have had an abortion. Please forgive me my kitten." Ziva said using Abby nickname.

"I could never stay mad at you my ninja. I love you too. Please stay with me and marry me." Abby said handing Ziva the small box.

"Abby, i would love to marry you. To be with you forever my love." Ziva opened the box and slipped the ring in Abby finger.

Just as she did that Tony walked in.

Ziva turned around in time to see Tiny before he slapped her across the face knocking her down.

"You think you just wake up and everything be fine Ziva?! Guess what not all of us forget easily! You are a bastard for leaving Abby! What the fuck is wrong with you!" Tony yelled.

"Tony!" Abby yelled.

"No Abby, i deserved that and much more." Ziva said wiping the blood from her lip.

"And that's why i'm here for the "much more" part!" McGee said punching Ziva back dow to the ground.

"Stop! Please!" Abby yelled at Tony and McGee and they kicked Ziva.

"Abby-" Gibbs started but stopped as her saw Tony and McGee beating Ziva.

"STOP! NOW!" Abby yelled.

Tony and McGee saw their boss in the door way and Abby crying. Ziva coughed up some blood as she tried to get up. Gibbs rushed to her side and helped her into her bed. Then turned and punched both Tony and McGee.

"Touch her again and both of you are sent to prison! Now leave!" He growled.

"Gibbs!" Abby sobbed.

"Easy Abs. Clam down." Gibbs said stroking her hair.

"Ziva? Is she ok"

"She's fine. A little shaken up but ok." Gibbs said looking behind him where Ziva was cleaning he face with a towel.

"Abby? Are you ok?" Ziva asked getting up for a second time.

"Fine. Oh my, your face! Does it hurt?" Abby said reaching out to touch her face.

"I've had worse my love. I'll be fine." Ziva said holding Abby's hand.
