Author's note - So I am probably going to be able to post at least three times a week. Forgot to say but the park in my last chapters was a made up park. Enjoy!

The room went silent as both of them were trying to let what Gibbs had said sink in.

After a good 10 minutes of silence, Ziva decided to go to bed. She didn't think anyone had seen her with Tony but she wasn't as aware when she was with Tony. She had let her guard down.

Tony sat. He didn't know Gibbs had seen them. Where had he been or had he got McGoo to spy on them. He knew it couldn't be Abs because she was away. All this thinking made his head hurt so he too, went to bed.

When Ziva awoke the apartment was empty. She walked into the kitchen to find a note.

Hi Zi,

Gone to work. Will be back about 8. Help yourself to anything you want.

Love you

Tony xx

Ziva was happy at the note but realised she was now housebound as she could not go down stairs. After making breakfast she decided to call Jenny.

"Hello?"

"Jenny, it's Ziva."

"Why hello a pleasant surprise. How is the leg?"

"The leg is fine thank you. You can probably guess that I did not ring you to talk about my injuries."

"That thought did cross my mind. What can I do for you?"

"Well you know that I am staying at Tony's, and you know that our relationship has sometimes crossed from work to personal..."

"Yes..." her voice was impatient.

"Tony told me he liked me and I turned him down but something has changed since I went to his and I told him that I would give us a go while we are here."

"If you are happy I don't see the- Oh! Gibbs' rule 12!"

"Yes. You see yesterday Tony took me out on a date to a little Italian restaurant where Gibbs saw us. He rang Tony when we got home and he was really pissed off! I am worried about Tony, he us with Gibbs and I know he isn't the most open of people when it comes to relationships."

"Which one again? Oh right, they are both stubborn bastards! Don't worry Ziva! I will keep an eye on Tony. If you want, I can talk to Gibbs?"

"Yes please! Thank you so much Jenny!"

"It's fine. You and Tony are made for each other. We will find a way. Bye Ziva."

"Thanks again. Bye Jenny."

After hanging up Ziva decided to read. She felt a lot better knowing that Jenny would speak to Gibbs.

Tony arrived home to find Ziva asleep on the sofa, a book on her chest. Meds must have made her sleepy thought Tony. He decided to make his 'famous' mac'n'cheese. Ziva woke up about half an hour after Tony came home to find a steaming hot bowl of pasta.

"Hey Zi, finally woke up? Guess my pasta is just to good to resist!" he laughed.

"Urgh," she sounded tired "something smells nice."

"It's either me or the pasta."

She said nothing but sat at the table and began to eat. She was hungrier than she realised.

Once the meal had ended they cuddled up in front of the TV. America's Next Top Model was on but neither of them could concentrate. Ziva decided to tell Tony about her conversation with Jenny.

"Wow, no wonder Jenny kept giving Gibbs the evils!" said Tony after she has recounted the phone call.

"I trust Jenny and I thought seeing as they are close that maybe she can talk to him. You aren't mad are you?"

"Of course I'm not sweet cheeks! I love you and I'm glad you spoke to her." He kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Meanwhile Gibbs was in his basement working on the boat when he heard someone at the door. He looked up to find Jenny at the top of the stairs.

"Haven't you heard of knocking?" he said.

"You still don't lock your door Agent Gibbs."

"I have never been Agent Gibbs to you. I have always been Jethro!" He sounded annoyed but he had loved those days.

"You loved it when we were together Jethro!" she replied, "As much as I like reminiscing about us I am here for another couple, even if they are temporary."

"Oh, so you came here, disrupted my privacy all to stick up for Tony and Ziva!" He was almost shouting now. "They know the rules, they don't like them then the door is always open!"

"You don't mean that Jethro," Somehow Jenny remained calm, "you love them like your own! You know how much they mean to one another and I think somewhere deep down you think they are better off together!"

"No Jenny I don't! I believe they should stick to the rules and that the only relationship they should have is a friend on friend one! Yes, I see them as my own and that is why I have rule 12, I wouldn't know what to do if one of them got hurt!" Gibbs never meant to say that much but once it was out he could not take it back. Jenny stood there. The silence was deafening.

"Wow, I didn't know you felt that way. I would've understood, you know, if you had just told me."

"I just don't want to see them hurt, especially not by each other. I love them Jenny, I really love them."
