After Ducky had done his own examination of the poor girl, Ziva was finally allowed to be discharged more than a week later. She hadn't, however, been discharged from protection detail Tony DiNozzo style.

"Okay well pizza is on its way and 'The Sound Of Music' is ready and waiting. Is there anything I can get you?"

"I would like you to sit down and stop fussing under me." Tony smiled and sat down beside her. He gently pulled her still quite heavily bandaged chest towards him and allowed her to snuggle into him.

"Over Zi. It's 'fussing over you'." He said gently before lovingly kissing the top of her head.

"Does it matter? Under me, over me, you will have been both by tomorrow morning." A coy smile hit both agents.

"Only if you're up for that Ziva, you have only just recovered from major open chest surgery."

"I am well enough for that Tony." She replied playfully, leaning further into his chest. "Now will you please punch play?"

"Sure Zi." He laughed. "I'll hit play for you, my crazy, idiom messing ninja."
