Chapter 8: Is This The End?

RECAP:

(Abby let out one last scream and soon the room was filled with the cries of a new born baby boy. Ziva cut the cord and they handed him to Abby.

"He's perfect Ziva. We did good." Abby said then went limp. The heart monitor flatlined. The doctors took the baby out of the room. Before anyone could touch Abby, Ziva was already preforming CPR. It took 5 doctors and 4 policemen to remove Ziva from Abby's room. They had to cuff her to a chair to make sure she wouldn't go right back in. Ziva cried until nothing more came out.

(About 1 hour later)

Ziva sat in a room holding her son. He had opened his eyes and they looked just like Abby's green ones. He had wild curly brown hair. And tanish skin. He was the perfect combination of Abby and herself. A doctor came in.

"Did she make it?" Ziva asked tears in her eyes.)

Ziva's POV

Abby's body ha gone limp as soon as our baby boy was put in her arms. They had removed our son to clean him. Before anyone could touch her i began CPR. I told them i wouldn't leave her but they tried to take me out of the room. It took 5 doctors and 4 policemen to remove me from the room. They cuffed me to a chair so i would try and fight them off again. About 15 minutes later they brought me our son. He had opened his eyes and they looked just like Abby's. he had my curly wild chestnut brown hair and tan/pale skin. He was perfect. I sat there with him for another 30 minutes until i saw a doctor come out. He looked tired an worn out. I got up and asked, "Did she make it?"

End Of Ziva's POV

"She is stable. But still on edge. She had a stroke. A vain busted in her head and cause bleeding in the brain. We were able to bring her back and stop the internal bleeding. But she is in a coma. We are not sure when she will wake up or if she will wake up. She might suffer from memory loss but we will just have to wait and see. I'm very sorry ma'am." The doctor explained.

"Can i see her?" Ziva asked tears falling from her eyes.

"Yes, right this way. We will bring a bed for the baby to sleep in while you are in there." The doctor said showing Ziva the way.

A nurse had taken the small child away from Ziva to place him in the hospital's nursery. Ziva followed the doctor to Abby's room.

Ziva walked in the room. There was Abby, laying in the bed looking paler, if that was even possible. Abby had tubes and wires all over and in her. She didn't have the glow she normally had. She looked like she was dead but the steady rise and fall of her chest told Ziva she was still there.

"Abby. I am so sorry. It was my fault. I told you nothing good would come of me getting you pregnant. Abby, please wake up. I'm dead without you my love." Ziva sobbed as she knelt beside Abby's bed.

"Not true. You have a son that needs you, Ziver." Gibbs said from the door way.

"Gibbs? How did you know we were here?" Ziva asked not turning around.

"Hospital called me. Told me one of my agents was here in labor and the other had glass in her feet. Guess that is why your feet are bandaged." Gibbs said walking towards Ziva.

"Yes." Was all Ziva could say before she started to cry again.

"Ziver, you need to be strong. Your son needs you." Gibbs said hugging Ziva close to his chest.

"I know. I know. He needs his Aba to be there. Gibbs, i just don't know what i would do without her. She's my everything." Ziva said hugging Gibbs harder.

"1, i need air. 2, you will take care of your son until he wakes up. And 3, she will wake up." Gibbs said comforting Ziva.

"Sorry, i didn't mean to hurt you." Ziva said letting Gibbs go.

"Now, show me my grandson." Gibbs said to Ziva.

Abby's POV

I heard my son cry and felt them place him in my arms. I looked up at Ziva and said something before darkness took over my body.

Next i found myself looking at Ziva on top of me giving me CPR. I knew i had to be dreaming but it looked so real. Again darkness took over me.

I woke up once again and found myself in a meadow. It was a beautiful place. In the distance i could hear running water and i could smell all the wonderful flowers.

"Beautiful isn't it?" A female voice said from behind me. I knew that voice. It was so familiar. I turned and saw her. I knew it had to be her. Caitlin Todd. My best friend that was killed years ago.

"Kate!" I said and ran over to hug her.

"Abby, i missed you too." Kate said to me as i squeezed her tight.

"What is this place? Why am i here?" I asked Kate as i pulled out of the hug.

"This where souls go when they are in limbo. Abby, you are near death." Kate said placing her hand on Abby's shoulder.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Abby do you remember this?" Kate asked pointing to a scene going on below them. It showed Ziva doing CPR on me.

"I remember. So i died?" I asked.

"For a little while. But now it's up to you to fight for your life. Do you want to go back? If not you give up and come with me. It's up to you." Kate said shrugging.

"Kate! How can you even give me a choice to stay! I have a child! Of course i'm going back!" I shouted.

"Abby, i was just joking with you. I knew you would want to go back. Go." Kate said hugging me once more.

"Kate, how long have i been gone?" I asked.

"2 weeks." Kate sighed.

"I have to go! My baby! My son! My wife! Ziva! Oh my! By Kate!" I said then the darkness came again.

End Of Abby's POV

Ziva's POV

I had taken Gibbs to the nursery to see my son. Gibbs smiled that rare smile as the nurse handed him my son.

"Whatcha gunna name him?" Gibbs asked me.

"Isaiah. Abby and i had picked out the name when she was 7 months pregnant." I said smiling at the small bundle of joy in Gibbs' arms.

"Nice name. I like it."

I turned around to find Tony behind me with McGee.

"Hello Tony, Tim. Who called you?" I asked. Honestly i had forgiven them both for beating me up when i had left Abby. But i will always be ready if they decide to do it again. Tony and Tim were getting married soon. I just hope Abby wakes up for the wedding.

"Gibbs called us. Told us to meet him here. How's Abby?" Tony asked cheerfully. I doubt he knew about Abby.

"She's in a coma." I said with a sigh.

"W-what? Why?" Tim asked.

"She had a stroke and popped a vain in her brain. Now she is in a coma." I couldn't hold back the tears and ran away from them into the bathroom.

I sat in the bathroom an cried. Then i heard the door open.

"Ziva, come out. I know you're here." Tony said.

"What do you want? You want to kick my ass again for doing this to Abby? For getting her pregnant? For making her give birth to my child which could have killed her? If so, then do it. And while you're at it, shoot me too!" I said tears running down my red cheeks.

"Ziva, i'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to comfort you. It's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself. You have a child to take care of, now snap out of you self pity and go love that child until Abby wakes up." Tony said pulling me in for a hug.

"Thank you, Tony." I said snuggling further into his chest.

"No problem. Now let's go see if grandpa Gibbs will let me hold Isaiah." Tony said smiling down at me.
