Summary: Had to split this in two thank you so much for the reviews on the last part I'm glad you all seemed to enjoy it. I have the final chapter count, it's gonna be 33 parts plus the epilogue, making it 35 parts in total. Now you know :D

Everyone was in Tony's hospital room, having just watched them get married. It wasn't anything special, no one was in formal wear, but it had been perfect. The vows McGee had written were short, heartfelt and true. Tony had his arm wrapped around Ziva's middle wanting her as close as possible until the doctor came in to take him for his transplant. Senior was overwhelmed by everything that had just happened, he went over and hugged his son, and new daughter in law. He knew he was going to be there for his son, but knew he would not be able to keep his wits about him if he stayed in the room.

"Congratulations kids," he told them. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you," Ziva said, hugging him again, and kissing his cheek.

"My dear, you are an angel on earth, just like Junior's mom." She could only nod at him, fresh tears welling up in her eyes. "Now don't get me started."

Tony shook his father's hand. "Thank you, Dad. If you need to excuse yourself I understand."

Senior nodded at his son, and Tony knew that his father couldn't cry in front of him. He was happy he'd been there for them and that was what he needed. He knew it would be too much for Senior to watch him leave to go down for the transplant, and without words told his father he understood, and the Senior DiNozzo left the hospital room, in search for somewhere private. Abby then pulled them both into a hug.

"I'm so happy, but I think I'm gonna follow him," Abby told them.

"Thank you Abby."

Palmer shook Tony's hand, and hugged Ziva before he excused himself as well, Celeste had had an appointment and he didn't want to miss it even though it was just a checkup. Bishop went over to them and hugged each of them smiling.

"I hope you are as happy as I am," she told them.

"Thank you, Bishop," Tony told her. "That means a lot."

"You're like a brother to me Tony you deserve to be happy, and so does Ziva."

"Thank you," Ziva said smiling.

"I've got some physical I need to pass so I'm gonna take off but if you need anything just let me know."

"I will."

Ducky went over to them next, smiling as he hugged each of them in turn. "You cherish this," he told them. "Marriage is a beautiful thing, and I know you both are going to make it work and beat the odds."

Tony grinned. "No story Ducky?"

"If I begin a story we will be here for a week it would remind me of so many times I have been able to share a wedding with people I've cared about. I am happy for you both, but I do have to get back to work."

They both shook his hand before he left. They were glad that not everyone was going to stick around to watch him go down for the transplant. As much as Tony was optimistic it would help in the long run, he was terrified and he didn't want everyone to see him like that.

"I'm going to go too," McGee told them. "I promised Delilah I we could spend some time together."

Ziva hugged him. "Thank you, it was perfect," she told him.

"You're very welcome Ziva. If you need me to come back later just call me, okay?"

McGee then hugged Tony. As much as McGee was like a brother to him and as happy as he was that he had performed the ceremony, there was only one person he knew he needed to have there since he understood why his father wasn't there. There would have been a time he'd be mad at his father, but he wasn't, and Gibbs seemed to be just as happy to be there for the couple when they needed him the most.

The doctor came into the room quietly. He knew that they were planning on having a simple wedding ceremony and had waited to come in until he saw people leaving, wanting to give the couple as much time as he could, but it was time The change of the mood in the room was palpable. Things had gone from sentimental and happy to being intense. Tony leaned in and kissed her, and she kissed him back, somehow keeping her emotions in cheque.

Tony followed the doctor out of the room, and it was only then that Ziva let out a long sigh which turned into a whimper. As much as she had wanted to be married to him before this happened she knew there was a chance that marriage might only last a few hours. Gibbs could tell her mind was racing, and did the only thing he could, he hugged her. As soon as he did she started to cry. She hadn't cried like this since she lost her father and she was glad she wasn't alone. She was still trying to be positive but she couldn't hide her fears anymore.

"I am scared, Gibbs," she told him.

"It's understandable, let it all out," he assured her, and she began to sob.

"I can't lose him," she whispered after crying for what felt like hours.

"You won't," he assured her, kissing her forehead like he did with Abby.

"How do you know?"

"I know I'm gonna be stuck with DiNozzo for a lot longer."

She let out a tiny laugh, then wiped her tears away. "I should not have broken down like that."

"It's normal to feel that way when someone you love is hurting."

She then hugged him tightly, for the first time she started to understand what it might have been like for him to lose his wife and daughter. He hugged her back, neither of them needing to say anymore, but he still prayed to a deity he wasn't sure he believed in that a member of his family would not have to go through half the pain he had all those years ago. Now all they could do was wait for news.

Notes: All right so the next part is a little more nerve wreaking just so you know. I hope you are still liking this fic, please let me know. Heart love this couple.
