Tetra: Hello everybody! Thank you all for your wonderful reviews. I am amazed that I didn't get any flames...I think. Anywho, about Chapter 2. I know Ziva is out of character, and maybe Gibbs, but they are supposed to be. Sorry I didn't warn you! But now you know. Now, on with the...

Artemis: Read mine and Tetra's story Numb3rs Gay-A-Palooza and review it. Please!

Tetra: Okay! She needs to get her priorities straight. Although it would be nice. It is a Numb3rs story about pairings of all the main male characters. We don't own Numb3rs, or NCIS for that matter. So, if you would be so kind, review both this story and the story mentioned above. Thank you. Now, ON WITH THE FIC! By the way, I think this will be the last chappie in this story. Yay Me!

Chapter 3

Ziva stared at Tony as the doctors checked on him for the ten-millionth time that day. They wanted to make sure he would not have another seizure any time soon. She did not even notice Gibbs who snuck up on her with his own thoughts.

"How is he?" He was not surprised to see Ziva jump slightly, but she never turned to look at him.

"No change. The doctors won't stop staring at him. I mean even the slightest pin drop could set them into action. It's so hard. I've gone through two days not hearing Tony's snide comments, his take on my English, or hearing about another one of his movies. It's so quiet."

Gibbs looked from Ziva to Tony, and back to Ziva. It was strange. Ziva used to hate Tony's guts. Now, she misses him. Sounds like his three wives, except vice versa. It sounds like Kate too. Maybe he did a good job with Ziva. Then his thoughts drifted to Tony, at how much Tony resembled him. Gibbs did an inside chuckle as he imagined himself wondering around chasing skirts and telling off his pick on the next Crow movie. Never going to happen!

Abby was having a mental breakdown. She stopped working and started pacing her office floor as she started an inside debate with herself.

"What if Tony never wakes up?

No, he has to. Tony's never backed down from a fight. I mean he's survived Gibbs' head slaps, gunshot wounds, more of Gibbs' head slaps, even the Plague! This won't hurt him...right?

Wait, even if he wakes up, he might have severe brain damage! Oh no! What if he doesn't remember me...or anybody!

No way! Tony would never forget me, or Ziva or McGee, or definintely not Gibbs. Oh, it's too hard to even think about."

"What is?" It was McGee. He had made Abby jump, but she quickly regained her composure.

"McGee! Don't do that. Oh and I was thinking of what Gibbs would do to Tony if Tony forgot everything about him, or us."

McGee turned a shade of pale as he contemplated Abby's thought. "Wow. That is scary. You think he will?"

Abby turned a sad face to McGee. "I hope not."

Ziva was caught off guard when she heard a slight moan from the occupant of the hospital bed she was beside. "Tony? Are you okay?" She was relieved to see the look of total loathing at her question. She could tell that Tony at least had and inkling of who she was.

She quickly went to find a doctor to help Tony with a lot of the equipment that was attatched to him. It was not even a minute when she returned with a very sweet looking young nurse. She removed many of the tubes, wires and sticky head things that were attatched to him. Ziva was partially relieved to see more of Tony's face again. He looked slightly pale, but okay. "Tony, do you remember me?"

Tony gave her a sarcastic look. "Mom?" Ziva might have believed it if he had not played that silly grin on his face immediately. "I'm just kidding. I know that you are Ziva and that you have a nice body."

"Tony! That is not something you go telling off to peop...WAIT! How would you know anything about my body!" Tony's smile was so priceless. He just loved to wake up and annoy Ziva. It was what he lived for.

Just then Gibbs walked in expecting to see a pale, non-responsive Tony, and ended up finding a fully responsive, joking Tony and a flustered and furious Ziva. His smile was never any bigger. Tony was back, all of him.

Tetra: So? Well? What did you think? I would like to know! Please press the small review button and let me know about your ideas. I know it ended kinda weird. I should tell you that Abby almost killed Tony when she found out he was okay and gave him the big bear hug. Anywho. Let me know what you think and also try and read Numb3rs Gay-A-Palooza.

Artemis: Yeah!

Tetra: Shut up! Please review!
