Ziva's POV

Since we got married, I never really had problems with Tony snoring but sometimes he does sleep talk. He says the most random things too.
It doesn't normally wake me up but tonight I can't sleep and his talking isn't helping so I decide to listen.
People always say that is you talk in your sleep you are telling the truth. You can't lie in your sleep.
I sit up with my back leaning on my pillows as I wait for him to say something.
It takes a minute bit then I hear a slight mumble come from Tony's lips.
"Mango chairs are useful for brushing your arm warts" Tony says slowly as he turns with his back to me.
I try to keep my laughter inside so that I don't wake him up but it is really hard.
"What? I don't have blue flamingoes sir" comes out of his mouth next followed by a grunt.
This just sets off my laughing fit again and after finally composing myself, I decide to grab my phone and film it. Then I can show Mcgee tomorrow and get my revenge for putting vinegar and ketchup in my morning coffee yesterday.

I put the brightness right down so it doesn't shine in Tony's face and then click the camera app. I ready the camera and then a minute later Tony speaks again.
"Gibbs... Sir... I like your new stripey Ferrari. It's very elegant" he says quite loudly.
I can't help but wonder what my husband thinks about in the daytime if this is what he dreams about.
"Monkeys Mcgee, we need tuna and pickle monkeys for thanksgiving next year not turkey. What are you, 2?" he says just loud enough for me to hear.
I try to keep a straight face as long as I can and I manage it until the last sentence he says.
He yells at the top of his lungs" Ziva and Abby you are both perfect so stop fighting over bunny rabbit stew and halloween tissues. It's not cool!" He ends up scaring himself awake which makes me breakdown in laughter as I switch off my phone.
"Ziva? Is that you?" Tony asked sleepily.
"Yes... It's... Me..." i managed to say in between breaths.
"What's so funny?" Tony asked confused.
"Nothing baby... Just nothing".
"Then why are you laughing?" He asked.
"I don't know, it depends how your Mango chairs and tuna and pickle monkey are" I chuckle.
"What?" Tony asked.
"Nevermind" I reply as I lay down and try to sleep, waiting for tomorrow to come so I can show Mcgee the video.
Tony you better beware...
