Chapter one

Tony stopped at a red light, he just sat there staring ahead, he hadn't reacted to the news the doctor gave him. But now it's starting to hit him, and a tear rolled down his cheek as it replayed in his head for what felt like the hundredth time in just thirty minutes.

Tony was sitting in a doctors office on one of those uncomfortable beds, which was better then the uncomfortable chairs. He was waiting for his test results from last week. He checked his watch, he was going to be late again and Gibbs was going to ask why, he can't keep making up excuses sooner or later he's going to find out. He's been sitting there for almost and hour when the doctor came in. "Well Tony we've done every test I could think of, twice. I'm sorry to say this but you have a brain tumor." Tony had just looked at the doctor, in a sort of trance. "Tony your tumor is rather large and intangled that it's to dangers to do surgary. But hopefully with chemo it will go away or at least shrink enough for us to do surgary." He informed Tony. Tony just nodded, he was in a state of shock. "Alright, we'll set up Chemo twice a week for six weeks. And I'll prescribe medicine for your headaches and nosebleeds, and some vitamins, which you'll take after your chemo sessions." The doctor said as he wrote all this down. "How does Tuesday's and Thursday's sound to you?" He asked. Tony just nodded, he hasn't said anything yet, he took the prescriptions and then made the appointment for next Tuesday between 2:00 and 3:00.

Tony came out of his thoughts as someone honked at him, he noticed the light had turned green. He parked his car at the parking lot in front of the NCIS building, it was close to noon, he had told Gibbs he was going to be in late because of an appointment, he hadn't expected it to be this late. He turned off the car, wiped his eyes then got out locked it up and headed up to the morgue to talk to Ducky about his medicines before he talks to the others. He doesn't even know what he's going to say, and he just has this sinking feeling that once he tells them that he has cancer he's going to be out of the job for a while. He'd go crazy if that happened, he knows he's been having memory problems, but the doc told him as he was leaving that it was because of the tumor along with the delusions of the past. It had happened just this morning he was in the kitchen getting breakfast, when all of a sudden he couldn't remember why he was there or even where he was. He had been pretty sure he was in the park. It's a good thing he remembered before Gibbs walked in, he would've had a hard time explaining that one away.

Tony walked into the morgue Ducky was talking to the dead body on one of his tables. He stopped when he felt someone watching. He looked at him. "Anthony we were wondering where you were."

"Ducky I need to tell you something and you have to promise not to tell any of the others especially Gibbs." Ducky promised, so Tony told him everything. "That explains the headaches and nose bleeds. Tony why aren't you telling Gibbs." Ducky asked as he looked at the prescriptions. "I can't. Not yet. I'm still in shock, the thought of telling Gibbs." Ducky nodded.

"You better get upstairs before Jethro looses his temper." Tony nodded as his headed upstairs, after taking the prescriptions back, he can get them filled tomorrow before coming into work. He saw McGee and Ziva working on the new case, he has yet to even find out what it is. "You're late DiNozzo." Gibbs said as he walked to his desk. "Sorry Boss my appointment ran latter then expected."

"Get to work." Tony sat at his desk after being informed of the case. He rubbed his head as a headache was coming on, he grabbed a tissue as his nose started to bleed as well. He didn't want any more questions about what's going on, so he just kept his head down and got to work.
