NCIS: TIVA STORY!

Homeward Bound

Ziva POV

It had been a long, sleepless night in the hotel room. The bed was comfy, and Tony's warmth made it that much better, but I couldn't sleep, for I knew I would have nightmares. When I had looked out the widow again for the 10th time in the past 5 minutes, I saw the sunrise on the horizon. I smiled faintly and carefully got out of bed. I had a key to everyone's room, since they figured that would wake up before they did. I decided to go ahead and pack Tony's bags, as we fell asleep before he had the chance. I grabbed his bag from under the bed and opened the closet. He had about 2 shirts and a pair of jeans. I silently chuckled and packed them away neatly and zipped them in the suitcase. I left a note saying anywhere I could be on the bag and left, taking each of the key-cards with me. I first went to McGee's room and slowly cracked the door open. I saw McGee. He was awake, only in his boxers, and packing his bags. I quickly closed the door and shuddered. I then walked silently to Gibbs room, whom walked out the door before I could even attempt to knock.

"Go pack your things and meet us back here in 30 minutes." Gibbs ordered as he handed me the keys to his rental and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you Gibbs, for everything." I whispered in his ear.

I then smiled, turned, and ran out to the car. I hoped in and drove to my house to gather my few things.

Tony POV

I woke to the sound of Gibbs. He was obviously yelling at McGee to put some clothes on. I chuckled and sat up. I noticed Ziva was not next to me, but my bag was. I smiled, got up, and grabbed my bag. I read the note and smiled, but threw it away so nobody else would find the hidden message. I then ran out the door, ran to the door, and found Ziva waiting for us. I smiled at her and gave her a peck on the cheek. She smiled as I hoped into the passenger seat. It wasn't long before Gibbs and McGee came running out. It wasn't long before we got everyone situated and on our way to the airport.

"Ziva! Slow the heck down!!!!! Watch out for that...." McGee screamed.

"I'll just ignore the causality for now," Ziva shrugged.

Ziva continued her reckless driving, and we were at the airport within 30 minutes. After we grabbed our luggage, boarded the waiting plane. We threw our bags up above and took a seat. I took a seat next to Ziva, who was shaking. I grabbed her hand and held it tight.

"Don't worry Ziva. Once we land, everything will be alright," I whispered and squeezed her hand.

The plane took off and we were on our way home, bringing our friend, sibling, and lover home too.
