I walked into our apartment, the nursery was the first place I headed, it was were Tony had spent the last week before being put on that stupid plane before any of this had even happened. I was scared and frightened, everyone offered to help me get settled in with Sadi at home but I knew that I needed to do this alone. I put her down in her cot and stroked her hair, it had been two days since the air plane had crashed into the sea and only one person's body had been found, they had died on impact. As every moment passed I felt every remainant of the hope that I still held dissapear and vanish from sight.
I was making myself something to eat when I got a phone call from Gibbs
"Ziva you need to get down here now!" he shouted down the phone and I recoiled a little in surprise.
"Why?" I asked
"Just get down to the hospital, Bethseda" he told me and I grabbed Sadi from her crib, placed her in her carrier and then made my way down to the car, strapping her in before driving toward Bethseda. Ten minutes later I made my way into the waiting room and carried Sadi in with me. Gibbs was waiting and he was bubbling with happiness and pride.
"They found him Ziver, he's here. He survived" Gibbs said happily and I looked at him happily
"Tony is alive?" I asked and he nodded his head enthuisatically
"Yes he's down here, he's alright according to the doctors he's just dehydrated and suffering from heat stroke" he said walking quickly toward his room, I followed behind him eagerly and when I saw him in his room propped up on the bed I broke down in tears, for the first time since having Sadi I left her with Gibbs and made my way to my fiances side. Somehow he had survived and I needed to find out for myself how he had done so.
"Zivah" he said his voice rather hoarse and raspy
"Tony" I said through the tears, I sat on the side of his hospital bed and sobbed happiy, the emotions that had been plaguing me throughout my pregnancy still have some effect now. He held me closely and I didn't want to move from his side. He moved the hair from my face and pulled my chin up so that he could see my face, look into my eyes and see what was troubling me, like he always did when I was to ashamed to show my emotions.
"I'm here Zivah I'm not going anywhere. Promise" he said and I smiled before turning into his side and hugging him as I cried.
Ten minutes later after I had tired myself out and had no more tears to shed, I looked up at him and he wiped the tears from my eyes, I smiled at him lovingly before hungrily kissing his lips, the love and compassion, terror and pain, happiness and forgiveness all mixed into this heatedd kiss and I'm surprised he was able to stop it when he did, otherwise I would've ended up light headed. I restedmy forehead on his as we waited for our breathing to steady and return to normal.
"I missed you so much Zivah and I'm sorry I couldn't be here with you for the last stages of your pregnancy and here for the birth" he said and I looked at him knowing that he hadn't wanted to go in the first place. I placed one hand on the side of his face and he relaxed against it, I smiled and told him
"I know Tony, it was hard and I didn't want you to be gone but I knew that it was something that had to be done. I'm just so glad you made it back to me. We all thought you were dead" I said and he nodded his head
"So did I for a while. When I heard the shots fired I knew something was up and as soon as the first shot hit the side of the plane I knew that there wasn't going to be much time for anything to stop it or time to hesitate. I was in the cargo hold and there was a parachute, I ran to it but it was jammed and so were all the other ones. One of the pilots had been shot by one of the bullets breaking through the glass and the other was shot in the arm, there were two other people aboard the plane who were in the cargo hold with me and we all tried freeing the parachutes. I got the only one that woulld come free, by this stage we were losing altitude fast and the others were still trying to get the parachutes I tried to help them but they were screaming at me to save myself. They knew that you were pregnant with our baby, we'd been stuck on that plane for more than 24 hours and there was only so much you can do on a army plane. They told me to save myself for our child and for you, the others didn't have families of their own, two had lost all there family members at a young age and the other had ony his senial mother left who didn't remember him. I didn't want to but they were begging me to jump, and just before it became too dangerous for me to jump, I did so. I pulled my parachute about 200 hundred feet from the ocean and got ready for the cold water to consume my body. I expected it to but all it did was keep me afloat. I made a little rafty thing with it and some stray logs that were floating in the ocean and stayed a float on that whilst I waited for someone to rescue me. It wasn't until last night when the search parties had started searching further out that they actually found me, by this stage the parachute was keeping me warm, I was using it as a blanket. I was rescued and feel asleep on the ride back to shore and then they flew me from LA to here and they must of rang Vance or something cause when I got here Gibbs was by myside and waiting for me to wake up" he told me, somewhere through the story I had started to ball my eyes out again.
"I'm glad you listened to them Tony, I need you and so does our daughter" I sobbed and he looked at me a mixture of pride and regret on his face
"Our baby is a girl?" he asked and I nodded my head
A/N: Ok well I know that you guys wanted to see more and I'm glad that you guys thought this way. I couldn't kill Tony off apart from Abby he is my favourite character. Here you go anyways I hope you like!
