Chapter 2:

(I like to thank you all for the reviews, I am glad you liked the story and I hope you will continue to read, review and follow this McGiva story)

McGee's POV:

The world was now black, everything I had done was lost to me, and the sound of Ziva screaming in my ears sent shivers down my spine, my eyes slowly opened and everything was white, my head pounded as I stood up, my legs are shaky and I nearly fall to my knee's but I manage to stay up right, I looked around my surroundings and it I realise it's the Ncis bullpen, but its more is completely white like snow, the walls were marble white without even a speck of dust or dirt, I moan as the throbbing in my head until I noticed a dark figure in the corner, I turn slowly and I see Abby standing there, with Gibbs, Tony, Ducky, Palmer and the director Vance. I look around for Ziva but there was no sign, suddenly I turn and I see Kate coming towards me "Kate" I whisper not trusting my eyes as I look around me and the Team faded from my sight until only Kate remained, I walk to her slowly.

"Kate" I whisper again as I felt her hand on my cheek.

"I missed you McGee" I smiled bright and pulled her into a gentle hug, it felt right... safe, but it wasn't, I pull away and narrow my eyes suspiciously.

"Kate... you died" I pull back further "we buried you" I gulp as I a horror fills my brain as I remember the crash "I'm dead"

Ziva's POV:

My heart constricted as I watched the doctors and nurses run test's on McGee. I was lost and afraid, he had always meant a lot to me, and he and Gibbs were the only ones that never blamed me for Kate's death, even when I blamed myself for her fate at the hands of my half brother 'damn you Ari' I thought to myself, now I only had Gibbs, but it was not enough. One question popped into my mind 'could I live a life without McGee?' and the answer was always the same, 'no'.

The Doctors had finished their tests and came back, McGee was in a coma, he was breathing on his own which was a good sign but in the end another question came up 'would he wake up?' I think I asked that question but I am not sure, I feel like I am on autopilot. I had excused myself to the bathroom and before I knew what was happening I went into the stall and emptied the contents of my stomach into the pan, I gasped and gagged again as I once again emptied my belly, it was awful, I felt like my worst nightmare had began and there was only one choice left if I lost Timothy 'I shouldn't think about this, I am a mossad officer, I was trained not to show emotion but I can't help it, I need him to live... for Gibbs, for Tony, for Abby, for Ducky... For Me' I stand and looked at myself in the mirror and groaned in disgust, 'I look like shit' I splash some cold water on me and I head out as the feeling in my stomach never faded, the feeling of losing my lunch 'what was left' once again. One thought raged in my head 'Please McGee... Wake up!' and with that, I take my place with Gibbs and Tony and Abby.

McGee's POV:

I was standing before Kate in the middle of the bullpen, I was dead, I couldn't believe it, but only one question filled my mind "is Ziva Alive?" I asked hopefully

Kate smiled "yes Timmy... She is" she held a hand out to me and I grinned taking it. We went into the elevator and was somewhere different, Doctors and Nurses was walking about the corridors, wives of Marines was in labour and being taken into the delivery room, I recognised this place, it was the hospital in Bethesda. I smiled bright as I watched everyone walking about their lives, a scent familiar to me filled my nose, my heart pounded hard and I followed the scent until I found... Ziva, standing next to Gibbs and Tony with Abby, looking through the window, I looked curiously leaving a understanding Kate standing behind me, I looked through the window and I was shocked to find my body lying on the bed, tubes protruding from my nose and arms, my face was bruised and bloodied 'oh I am really gonna scar from that' I gulped the rising feeling in my throat as I stood there watching me sleeping on the bed, 'I wasn't dead, I was in a damn coma' I turned quickly to Kate who gave me a sad smile.

"Will I wake up?" I asked I had hoped so; I needed to tell Ziva my feelings for her.

Kate sighed "that's up to you" she turned from me to walk away and I looked back at Ziva and inhaled her scent, I sighed as I went to touch her but in the end I couldn't, my hand went straight through her.

I had found myself back in the bullpen but this time it was black and gloomy, I saw Kate running over to me "we got to get you to wake up now"

This surprised me "what's going on? I asked looking around the room and noticed somebody standing in the corner.

Kate dragged me along as fast as she could "listen Tim, we have got to get you to wake up before she gets you"

My eyes narrowed at the woman behind me, it was Kate... another Kate.

Ziva's POV:

I have been waiting in the hospital for days, I refuse to leave, but in the end I needed Gibbs to talk to me and he said I needed to rest, I looked like hell. Which is better than how I feel, I hope McGee will be ok until I get back, he looks so motionless and peaceful, I can't help but wonder what he is dreaming about, the drive was long and slow, tortoises could run faster than the rate my world is going, I am praying he will be ok, he had been so sweet and tentative to me and in the end he was the only one to even crack my wall that I built around me to keep those safe, let alone break it down completely, so far it has suffered some beatings every time he smiled at me, showed me kindness or even joined in when we annoyed Tony. My wall was cracked but it was still standing... so far.

When I got inside I realised just how tired I was and in the end I went over to the sofa and collapsed and past out on it, the nightmares begin.

The sound of the crashing car and churning steel filled my ears, when I woke, everything was frozen, the car was upside down, Gibbs holding McGee in his arms, McGee's eyes was wide open, but they were glazed over grey. Blood poured from McGee's chest. My heart pounded and Gibbs looked at me, his eyes teary "he's dead Ziva" I screamed as loud as I could, I ran to him and pulls his broken body away from Gibbs and held the busted body of McGee in my arms, my heart raced and pounded, suddenly I was standing on the opposite side watching as I watched Myself holding Tim in my arms, suddenly I drew my gun and checked the safety catch was off, Both of us locked eyes and I nodded to the other Ziva who suddenly turned the gun on herself and pulled the trigger, the gunshot rung out around me making the world I was in cold and placid, I walked over to the bodies lying side my side, McGee's and mine, I lowered to kneeling and caressed McGee's cheek but jumped back when his eyes flew open, they were glazed over and his skin slowly becoming thinner and thinner by the second, his cheekbones began to show through the skin and his eyes faded, I noticed the same happening with my body, I watched in horror as we both faded away.

I jerked awake with a loud scream, panting for breath as I ran to the toilets and splashed cold water on my face, tears streaming down my eyes slowly. That was some bloody nightmare.

My phone rang out in my apartment, I grabbed it quickly off the table when seeing it was Gibbs.

"Gibbs" I answered, my words full of hope, he sighed softly "Ziva... it's about McGee" his words were soft.

'oh no' I looked down as tears came tumbling down, my other hand went instinctively to my holster "he's getting better" my hand stopped and I couldn't contain the joyous scream that escaped my lips "damn it Ziva, you nearly deafened me" he chuckled and hanged up the phone, allowing me to grab my gear and ran as fast as I could to my car.

Readers POV:

McGee lay motionless in bed as Ziva arrived at Bethesda; Gibbs greeted her with a hug.

"What Happened?" her voice was shaky and full of joy which made him chuckle.

"Apparently McGee is getting stronger by the second. He is fighting" his voice was soft and he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder giving her a light squeeze.

"I wonder what it is he's fighting" Gibbs nodded and walked down the corridor; Ziva stayed in with McGee and held his hand.

McGee's POV:

I stood between the 2 Kate's and my mind was spinning in confusion. Kate one was dressed in a suit, the suit she wore when she was with the secret service, Kate 2 was wearing the Ncis suit... her last suit she wore when she was killed, I saw the bullet wound in her head and I closed my eyes not wanting to gaze at her, I had visited her once when she was in the morgue after Ducky's autopsy and still felt guilty about it.

Get away from her Tim" Kate 2 said pointing at the other Kate for effect

"Don't listen to her Tim; she is here to kill you" Kate 1 replied trying to drag me away

"Tim... Trust me" I looked at them both and pulled back from them.

I stepped back further looking at the area and one thing stood out, the door to the storage cupboard was sky blue instead of instead of dark brown and the fire extinguisher to their left was yellow, I grinned and drew my gun quickly and aimed at the 2 Kate's, my gut twisted feeling guilty for this but in the end he knew they were both wrong, as Gibbs said 'trust your gut' with that he shot the fire extinguisher making it explode in powdery foam all over them both creating the diversion for me to run through the door. Not knowing where it would leave me. But one thought was clear; anywhere without the 2 Kate's was fine by me.
