Again thanks so much for reading!
What kind of crazy fantasy did he have to make Palmer strip in front of him, on his desk, in the bullpen of all things. Tony watched as Palmer rubbed his washboard abs and took off his scrub bottoms to reveal his boxer. Palmer was totally going to have some fun with Tony. He sat down in Tony's lap, careful not to bump his hurt arm. That's when Tony had had enough.
"Whoa big boy get off of me. Abby What the hell is this?"
"You really don't remember do you?" Abby asked.
"Remember what?" Tony asked in return.
Palmer started putting his clothes back on and Abby gave him a $20 bill.
"I bet Palmer that he wouldn't play out one of your fantasies and he bet me that he would. Great abs by the way Palmer." Abby said smiling.
Palmer was embarrassed that he even done it but smiled. It wasn't like him to flaunt his amazing muscles.
"My fantasy would not include a man and it sure as hell would not include autopsy gremlin stripping and giving me a lap dance." Tony said.
Palmer and Abby looked at each other and busted out laughing.
"After your surgery you nearly begged me to strip for you, right there in your hospital room." Palmer tried to explain. It clicked on him. That must be why everyone was acting so weird towards him.
"One of my favorite things you said was you asked Ziva to marry you." Abby exclaimed.
"I did what?" Tony yelled "She would kill me if I ever did that, especially in front of the team."
"Actually she's been waiting for you to do it for some time now Tony." Palmer tried to explain.
As the two left he downed his pain pills. The pain in his shoulder had really gotten to him. 'I bet I don't let the time on taken my meds lapse again.' He thought. 'if a proposal is what Ziva wants, then a proposal is what Ziva is going to get.'
When Team Gibbs got back to the bullpen they realized that Tony was nowhere to be found. Gibbs called down to Abby to find out if he was down there. Hopefully he was lying on the floor with Bert under his head laughing at how that damn hippo made farting noises.
"Abs have you seen Tony?" Gibbs asked.
"Not in about an hour. Is he not at his desk?" Abby asked.
"No…" Gibbs said. Before he could say anymore McGee was at Tony's desk.
"Hey boss, he left his cell phone." McGee said holding up Tony's cell phone. That was not like Tony, he took that phone with him everywhere.
"Let me see that." Ziva said grabbing Tony's phone. She went through his pictures finding photos of herself and of Tony that would make anyone blush.
"I will kill him!" Ziva said tossing the phone back to McGee.
"Wait isn't he on pain pills? He's not even supposed to be driving!" McGee pointed out.
Gibbs piercing blue eyes got wide. This cannot be good. His mind and heart started to race thinking of all the possibilities of what could have happened to his senior field agent. The ringing of his cell phone broke the deep thought he was in.
"Yeah Gibbs."
"Agent Gibbs I think I have something that belongs to you."
"Who is this?"
"Oh sorry I've always wanted to do that. This is Dr. Pitt over at Bethesda. Tony was in a car accident and is in surgery now. Why the heck he was driving is beyond me."
"We will be right there." Gibbs said and hung up the phone. "let's roll!"
"What is it boss?" McGee asked almost regretting asking as the words rolled off his tongue.
"It's Tony." Gibbs said heading for the elevator.
The team got to the hospital to wait yet again to find out the condition of their team member. Abby had brought Bert along with her. At times like this there were only two things that could comfort her, Tony and Bert. And since it was Tony in surgery, she guessed Bert would have to do.
A young beautiful doctor walked out with Dr. Pitt this time. 'If Tony knew he had such a pretty doctor, he was probably hitting on her.' Ziva thought.
"I'm Dr. Jennifer Payne, I'm the one that performed Agent DiNozzo's surgery." The young doctor said.
"How is he doc?" Gibbs asked.
"Do you know what happened?" Dr. Pitt asked.
"No we haven't been told anything." Gibbs spoke for the team.
Nervous and not thinking Abby squeezed Bert letting out a fart noise. All eyes turned to Abby.
"What? It was the hippo!" Abby tried to explain quickly.
"He was in a serious car accident. He has a concussion and had internal bleeding which we were able to stop thanks to the surgery. We will have to watch him for a few days but he is in recovery. At this point we don't know if he's lost his memory or even know who you guys are but I think it would be good for you to go back and see him." Dr. Payne explained.
The team followed the doctor back to the room Tony was in. It was just a week ago they were doing the same thing after he had gotten shot. 'Dammit DiNozzo you are so accident prone.' Gibbs thought.
Tony laid very still in his hospital bed. His head wrapped in a bandage and still had his arm in a sling. Gibbs ran his fingers through Tony's hair that was sticking out of the bandage. It took Tony a little longer to start coming around this time.
'More anesthesia, great!' Ziva thought 'what craziness will he come up with this time?'
When Tony started to wake up the fun began.
"Boss, is that you?" Tony asked.
"Yes Tony I am right here." Gibbs said trying to comfort his agent.
"Boss I want a ribeye steak."
Gibbs couldn't help but laugh. "When you get out of here I will fix you one on my grill."
"It was so nice of you to let me have this vacation. I really needed it after riding with Zee-vah. She will try and kill ya." Tony said. He then snapped his fingers with his free hand. "Where is my martini?"
"Tony you don't drink martini's" Gibbs tried to explain to him.
"Well what if I want one now? Huh" Tony demanded. His hatefulness than turned to a smile as he looked the other way. "Ziva is that you?"
Ziva rubbed his cheek with the back of her hand. "Yes Tony it's me."
"Aren't you loving our vacation together? You just wait till I get you back up to the room I am going to…" Tony said before being cut off by Ziva. She covered his mouth with her hand afraid of what he might say next. He took her hand with his free hand. "Where is your ring Mrs. DiNozzo."
It caught Ziva off guard, something that never happened. The rest of the team was shocked too that he called her Mrs. DiNozzo.
"Tony, I don't have a ring. We are not married." Ziva tried to explain.
"Hey McGee get my jacket and look in the pocket I have something I want to give to Ziva." Tony said. McGee found a small box in Tony's jacket. He really was planning on proposing to Ziva.
"Here you go Tony." McGee said handing the box over.
"Ziva David, will you marry me?" Tony asked.
Ziva was taken back. She had waited so long to hear Tony say that and give her a ring. But why now? Why in a hospital, why after being under anesthesia?
"Yes Tony I will. It's beautiful!" Ziva said looking at the ring. She slipped it on to her ring finger. He had really outdone himself. She could only wonder if that's where he was heading when he had his wreck.
"Yea we will have little DiNozzo's running around in no time!" Abby said squeezing Bert again making him fart.
That sent Tony into a bout of laughter.
"I promise boss, that wasn't me!" Tony tried to say through the laughter.
"So Special Agent Sexy Pants, when will you be coming back to work?" McGee teased.
"Oh you like Special Agent Sexy Pants?" Tony asked trying to throw the covers off of himself. Ziva and Gibbs caught the cover before he could expose his naked body to the team yet again. They went through that last week, they didn't need another "amazon tour featuring the anaconda" again.
"Where am I?"
"Your in the hospital Tony, you had a car wreck." Gibbs tried to explain to his agent.
"Why am I wet? Are we at Seaworld? Did Shamu get me all wet?" Tony asked.
Palmer decided to have a bit of fun with the agent.
"No Tony you were having a wet dream about me again." Palmer said trying to hold in the laughter.
"You must be one of those strippers from Thunder from Down Under! Gosh I love those guys! Do you really come out dressed as a cop?" Tony asked.
"No but I can play as your naughty doctor." Palmer said grinning. Palmer was in no way like that but he had to pick on Tony in light of everything.
"You have to get better Tony so you can do page 57 of your GSN book on me." Ziva whispered in Tony's ear.
His green eyes got wide. "Why can't we just do it now." Tony asked.
"When you get better we will." Ziva assured him.
The doctor had told them that Tony needed his rest. Ziva looked down at the ring. She couldn't believe that Tony was actually going to propose for real.
Ziva had stayed with Tony at the hospital as he recovered most of the time he was sleeping and didn't realize she was there.
On the first day he was mostly coherent he looked around the room and seen Ziva sitting next to him.
"Why are you here Zee-Vah?" Tony smirked.
Ziva got up and ran her fingers through his tangled hair. "I am here for you sweetheart."
Tony looked at her strange. He reached up and grabbed her hand pulling it down to see the ring on her finger.
"Your engaged? Why didn't you tell me? After all we have shared together Ziva and you didn't tell me you had another man in your life?" Tony said on the verge of tears.
"Yes Tony, I am engaged, but it's to you." Ziva said with a smile.
He didn't remember proposing and he barely remembered getting the ring. But heck if she said yes, he was going to go for it. She may never say yes again. Best not to pass up a good thing.
"So about that page 57?" Tony asked.
Ziva just shook her head and smiled. Typical Tony DiNozzo.
