16A/N: Wow, a new chapter and a new story in the same day! You guys are spoiled :) But it's ok because I like to spoil you guys :) Alright, so I had a special request last night from Tiva all the way baby and she asked me to do a one shot for a song called 'Forever and Always' by Parachute. I actually never heard of the song until this morning and the story to go with this song just came to mind :) So I hope not to disappoint.
Disclaimer: I own nothing! Sadly…
She's sitting at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
No one's said they've seen him
Why, is something wrong?
They have planned this beautiful dinner together for Valentine's Day. Ziva was so disappointed that he wasn't there yet. She was sure that he stood her up. But, being the good fiancé that she is, she was going to wait. She tried calling Abby and Gibbs but they said that they haven't seen or heard from him. She was having a very bad feeling that something had happened but she wasn't quite sure what.
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says something's happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knees first
And he said
I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always
In the back of Ziva's mind, she knew that he hadn't stood her up. Something must have happened. She then got a phone call, confirming her prediction that he was in the hospital. She told the person that she will meet them at Bethesda. She blew the candles out and put the food in the fridge and rushed out of the house with her phone and keys in hand. When she opened the car door, she thought of New Year's Eve when he proposed. It was 10 seconds before midnight and she of course said yes. He told her that he wanted to grow old together in their rocking chairs watching the grandchildren run around. They have been through practically everything together. They wanted to grow as friends, as partners, as family.
She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls, a maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
Ziva rushes into the hospital and walks calmly up to the front desk. The woman behind the desk could say that she was one of the calmest people she has seen in a while. Another nurse takes her down the hall to where Tony's room is explaining that Tony was in a bad car accident and he may not make it. Ziva tried her best not to cry when she walks into the room. He was awake, barely and she walks to his bedside and kisses his forehead. She held his hand like it was her lifeline. She didn't want to let him go.
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay
Stay there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other, forever and always
They wanted to have 2 kids and a huge house on a hill. They were going to have the domestic, typical American life and they were perfectly fine with it.
Then she gets an idea and calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple verses
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says
I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always
Ziva gets this funny idea to get married in this hospital so goes next door and borrows the couple's wedding rings, and they even came to watch. They had a preacher in the room while the team was laughing through-out the whole thing. But it was very sweet. Ziva told him what he had said to her just two months before and he grinned. He knew that she would be there when the worse comes to the worse. And that's one of the many things he loves about her, her loyalty.
She finishes the vows but the beeps are getting too slow
His voice is almost too low
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
I'll always love you, forever and always
When she finishes, the whole room had tears in their eyes. Including Team Gibbs. Tony's heartbeat started getting slower and Tony turned to Ziva with tears rolling down his cheeks. "I love you Ziva David. I will always love you, forever and always." He said to her. Ziva kissed him for the last time. He smiled at her and he closed his eyes. The last time anybody would see those gorgeous green eyes. He took one last breath and he was gone.
"Forever and always, Tony. Forever and always." Ziva whispered and started sobbing.
