Enjoy your reading!

Spring was a good season and a beautiful one at that. Even though it was still March, it was warm outside, flowers were growing, birds were chirping and people were enjoying the park like it was the first time in a really long time.

And so, thats where a family was sitting. The team had been given the week and weekend off, because of an long running undercover case that just been closed and succeeded.

McGee had taken the time to go on a date with a girl he had met a couple of months ago, called Delilah. They had spoken often via Skype, and he had asked her on a couple of dates before and was going on a date this weekend with her.

Abby was excited about her bowling competition with the nuns, like she did many times and spend her time practicing for it.

Then there was Jenny. The years that brought many of the changes within the team and family, had only been good to distant them from the Director. It happened more and more. Still how strained their relationship with the Director was, Jenny did have trust in the team. So whenever they needed her to back them up, she was there. Though, not wholeheartedly and Tony silently thought itmay have something to do with her soft spot for Gibbs. She always had and always would have it.

Anyway, so, on this spring day, Gibbs, Tony and Olivia had opted to take Mason out for lunch on Wednesday and then meet Ziva, Chris and the smallest of the family, at a park and playground, halfway.

It made for some great bonding time for the two small boys. Mason had taken the role of Jeth's older nephew so fast, that the adults were thinking they missed something. He adored the baby. Mason thought it was great he wasn't the youngest anymore and was ecstatic that as 'baby Jet' was now 8 months old, he could do a lot more then in the beginning. What Mason was most excited about was the fact this his little friend was standing! Not walking on his own, yet, but hey he was a baby. But baby Jet was standing and if he really wanted to, he could move from object to object as long as he had something to hold on to.

Mason was just as involved in Jeth's development as Ziva and Chris themselves and they loved it.

''Mommy! Mommy, look!''

Olivia looked around, until she found her son at the second highest slide of the slide tower. She smiled as he waved, then sat down and pushed himself to go down the slide. He squealed while doing so.

Olivia laughed along with Ziva.

''He's getting big'' Ziva commented at the same time.

''I know right. Before I know it he will be off to college'' Olivia chuckled.

Gibbs shook his head. ''Still have a long way to go, Liv'' He held Jeth on his lap, who was enjoying the outdoors and looking around the park and playground, with delight in his eyes. ''He has some more growing to do''

''I can't imagine D.J. being all grown up'' Chris said, who was taking advantage of the sun. His sunglasses on his nose and leaning back with his hands behind his head. ''He will be a chick magnet, though! Just like his daddy'' He glanced down and squeezed Jeth's little cheeks, pulling off his sunglasses and making a weird face that was sure to make Jeth giggle.

''Maybe he will be a chick magnet, but then he just takes after his names sake'' Olivia dryly replied, winking at Gibbs, who rolled his eyes, but had to resist to chuckle at Chris' face.

''Hey!'' Chris exclaimed.

''Oh, Christopher, the only baby here, is on Gibbs' lap, it is not you!'' Ziva shook her head, amused.

''Not that you're are ugly, boss. I mean... well—''

''Waite...'' Gibbs said calmly.

''Yes, Boss?''

''Shut up''

''Shutting up, boss''

The women chuckled.

''Mommy! Did you see? I almost went all way to the top!'' Mason called as he came running towards them. He stood in front of them proudly. A by goofy grin on his face and eyes sparkling.

''I saw you. You're my brave man'' Olivia smiled, and grabbed him around his waist, pulling him to her. She kissed him on his cheeks and forehead, and nose.

''I am?!'' He exclaimed excitedly.

''Of course!''

''Wow!'' Mason said, then as if nothing was said, he turned to Ziva. ''Can I play with Jet?''

''Where?'' Chris asked, carefully.

''Here. In the grass. I wanna make him crawl!'' Mason explained.

''Alright'' Chris said and took the baby from Gibbs. ''You're gonna be good for daddy?'' Jeth just giggled at him, and tried to grab his nose, as he always did. ''Good, boy'' He put him down on the ground and slowly let go. Mason plopped down next to the smaller boy and crawled with him. Of course he just laid there for the most part, as it took Jeth some time to crawl Mason's body length.

''Hey. Where's Tony? I thought he was going to come along with you'' Ziva asked, interested.

''Tony got a call from school, and was expected by the principal'' Olivia said, shaking her head.

Ziva grimaced. ''Something with Danni?''

''We're not sure. The Principal said it wouldn't be wise to discuss it over to the phone'' Gibbs said. ''I guess we'll find out soon enough''

''She was doing well, I thought'' Chris chimed in, a little confused.

''She is... or was. I don't know. Tony did say a couple of days ago, that he was worried. He knew she was not saying something. But which teenager tells everything to their parents?'' Olivia shrugged. Not that she could talk as a normal teenager.

''I guess we just have to wait and see then''

The adults turned back to watch the two boys. Jeth, had crawled all the way from Chris to Olivia. Who were the outer two of the four people. Mason was now running circles around him and Jeth was trying to make the turns, but Mason was going to fast, making him confused and Mason squeal in laughter.

The adults chuckled, but were interrupted by Gibbs phone. He pulled it out of his pocket and saw the caller I.D. It flashed, ''Tony''. Not knowing with what kind of story, Tony would come, he accepted the call with no expectations.

…

''Oh no. Oh, fuck!'' A man said, as he stared eyes wide and with trembling hands at the car that was now half bend around the bumper of his jeep. They were good, only a cut above his eye as far as he knew, but he could see the passenger and driver of the other car weren't.

''Dude, what the hell did you do?'' Another man's said, his voice more high pitched, this time. He said there staring at the car that was now attached to the front of their car.

''I didn't... they were just there... I d-didn't see them. Fuck!'' He swore again. ''Go look if they're alive!''

''Me? Why me? You're the one that crashed into them''

''This was all your idea! I told you stealing cars in brought daylight is a stupid idea'' The first one accused.

''What do you want to do if they're alive?''

''Call an ambulance of course''

''Oh no you don't. We're fucked if you do!''

''We're fucked anyway''

''I don't care!''

''Just go look!''

Cursing some more words he, the driver, jumped out of jeep car. Barely noticing how the cut above his eye was bleeding. Going over to the other car, he looked in, hoping they would be unconscious, if so, he could just call and drive away. But he saw it he was out of luck.

''Shit...'' Danni mumbled and she winched, trying to open her eyes. Her head was bleeding. Her ribs were burning, as was her back, and she felt out of breath. And then she realized something. ''Tony?'' She called out. No answer. ''Tony?'' She asked again trying to sound louder, but still it was quiet. She turned her head, wanting to know why he was ignoring her. Her heart stopped, then.

His side of the of car was a total wreck and he was bloodied all over. He was unconscious leaning back against his seat, he head hung to the side, where previously was a window. ''No, Tony!'' She wanted to scream, but all that came out was a loud whisper. ''Tony, please wake up'' She reached for a seatbelt and after some struggling it let go and she fell forward. She caught herself. ''Tony?''

''No, please, no'' She cried. ''Please, I'm sorry! Wake up!'' She heard a sound and looked up. She just realized that in the other car would be people too and saw someone walking towards them. ''Please! Help him!'' The man stopped in his tracks. ''Call an ambulance! He needs help! My... my dad needs help. Please!'' To her horror, she saw the man staring at her for a few seconds then, he turned around and went back to his own caar. ''What are you doing?! Come back! Help us!'' But the jeep was turned on, after two failed attempts and slowly back away. Tony's car bounced, and Danni realized they had been lifted of the road by the other car.

She called out, but the car turned away from them, then drove passed them. Deciding it didn't matter anymore, she looked back at Tony. ''Dad?'' She said quietly. ''Please, wake up. I'm sorry''

But Tony was out cold.

Then something came into her mind. She turned more in her seat and reached out. The pain was excruciating and she bit her lip to keep herself from crying out. She hoped by God that it was in this side of his jacket of jeans. Her finger tips touched the hem of his jacket pocket. She grabbed on and pulled slightly, before she could get her hand in. She felt around, then came in contact with what she knew was a cellphone. Pulling it out, she saw it was his and not hers. She unlocked it easily, as his was less modern, than hers. And clicked on speed dial. It was the only thing she could manage.

…

''Hey, DiNozzo. Home yet?'' Gibbs answered his phone.

''Gibbs!'' A breathless voice, that was definitely not Tony's. And it sounded panicked, scared.

Gibbs expression darkened. ''Danni?''

''Gibbs, help me! He won't wake up! He's dying!''

''Danni. What happened? Where are you?'' Gibbs asked, in such a tone that everyone looked at him.

''Car accident. Please, Dad won't wake up. He's hurt. Please help? I didn't mean to do it'' Danni cried and said the last words over and over again.

''Danni. Danni, listen to me. Tell me where you are'' Gibbs stood up and paced around.

''Gibbs?'' Olivia, asked, while Chris grabbed his son from the ground and stood up too, followed by Ziva.

''I-I d-don't know. Dad— Tony took a back road''

''From your school, to home?'' Gibbs asked.

''Boss, what's going on?'' Chris asked, watching the upset man.

''Yes... do you know where we are?''

''I know'' Gibbs assured her. ''Are there anymore hurt?''

''N-no... the car that ran into us... Gibbs, they just fled! I tried to get him to help, but he just drove away!''

Gibbs had to hold back a growl at that. Whenever he got this SOB's they were going to be heads rolling. ''Okay. Hang on. Danni'' He said to Danni. ''Chris call an ambulance...'' He said the name of the road, that Tony was possibly on. ''Tony and Danni had a car accident''

The women gasped and Chris swallowed. Grabbing the boys, they followed Gibbs as he marched out of the playground towards the parking lot.

''We're coming'' Gibbs told Danni. ''Just stay awake for me, sweetie''

''I'm okay. But, I-I can't check. I don't know if he's alive. Please, say he's alive. He has to be. Please'' Danni sobbed.

Gibbs closed his eyes. ''You better be fine, DiNozzo'' He thought.

Olivia quickly put Mason in his seat, and Ziva did the same with Jeth with his car seat. He handed the phone over to Olivia who sat down in the passengers seat and Gibbs took off.

''Danni, you still there?'' Olivia asked.

''I... I'm dizzy and tired. I—''

''No. Don't go to sleep, Honey. It's going to be fine. Just stay awake''

''O-okay, please just hurry. I don't think—AAAH!'' Danni suddenly screamed.

Gibbs' head jerked to Olivia.

''Danni?'' The said at the same time.

''Ah! It hurts! Please, help! It's hurts so bad! Help me! Help! HELP!'' Danni cried out in pain. ''I can't... I can't breath. Olivia, what's hap-happening?'' She gasped.

''Danni? Dan!'' Olivia called into the phone.

They came to an intersection and from the right, they saw an ambulance cross it. Gibbs made a sharp turn and followed it.

''Danni! You still there?'' Olivia asked, but she only got whimpering in return, then a thud and they knew Danni had dropped the phone.

''Shannon!'' Gibbs shouted. ''Shannon, you hear me!? We need your help!''

''Rose is already with Tony, Jethro'' Shannon's voice, made Olivia jump.

''She's with Tony?'' Gibbs asked.

''She was pulled away from 'There' So suddenly, which indicated that Tony was knocked out in a instant'' Shannon explained.

''Don't tell me he's...'' Olivia trailed off, her heart clenching.

''No. he's not. At least, not yet. He does need help. And fast'' Shannon told them. Making Gibbs step on his gas. ''Kelly's is going over to Danni''

''Okay'' Gibbs nodded, thoughtfully. That was going to be a great day turning into hell.

…

Danni closed her eyes as she gasped and let the cellphone fall to the ground of the car. She grasped onto her chest and ribs. It hurt, now more then it already did. It seemed like she couldn't get enough oxygen in her lungs, like there was more escaping than coming in. which, as she thought about it, it probably did.

''Easy. Slow breaths''

A voice. A child's voice. Danni's eyes snapped open. ''Huh?''

''Calm down, Danni. They're on their way''

''Who's there?'' Danni wheezed.

''I'm a friend. Don't panic, you'll only get less air in''

Danni turned her head to look around, as much as she could. As she looked out of the window, she saw a silhouette of what she thought was a young girl, looking in. she was a little vague, almost see through.

''Hi'' The shadow-y figure said. ''I'm Kelly''

''I know that name. I-I... What?'' She gasped again, as less and less air filled her lungs. She closed her eyes. ''I - I c-can't - help me?''

''I'll be with you, Danni. Help is coming''

Danni didn't know what that meant. All she knew was, that in the distance she heard sirens. She knew they were coming closer. They had to. But instead they seemed to get further away instead, as everything went black.

At the moment she passed out, Kelly felt herself being pulled with Danni. She slowly fainted faded from 'Here' and went to the place that was Danni's save haven in her mind.

…

Whether Chris had gotten his most recent driving style from Ziva or Gibbs, he wasn't sure, but he was keeping up with the older Marine quite well. Even though they had both a small child in their cars, which had turned down their recklessness many notches, they were still passing every car that was in their way, following the line of the ambulance.

Gibbs had gotten the news that there was another report of a car crash and they were now certain where Tony and Danni were. Still the driving took too long for Gibbs' liking. He heard, what sounded like whispers coming from the phone.

After a couple of moments, they drove a road that wasn't packed with cars. In fact there wasn't a car coming from the opposite at all anymore, and he didn't think there were other cars in front of the ambulance either. This must be the road. Gibbs guided his car more to the left, wanting to see past the ambulance.

After the third time doing so, he had enough. He sped passed the ambulance and growled. They weren't going past enough. He pushed in the gas a little bit more and looking into the rear view mirror, he saw he was steadily driving away from the ambulance. He also saw Chris doing the same.

''Whatever we're going to see, you stay in the car'' He stated to Olivia.

''But—''

''No! You stay in the car. You need to stay with Mason''

''But I—'' She stopped herself this time. ''Okay'' She said defeated.

Gibbs didn't respond any longer. His eyes focused on the spot in front of him. In the far distance he saw it. He knew it was them.

At the same time Chris and Gibbs put their foot on their breaks and their cars came to a abrupt halt. Without missing a beat, both man sprang out, the women, staying in. Chris must have had the same conversation with Ziva, Gibbs realized.

As they run over to the broken car, Chris and Gibbs met each other eyes for just a moment. Chris let Gibbs cross him, before the younger Marine went to run over to the left side of the car. He came to a halt and tried to pull open the door. It was stuck, but he didn't let him get beat by a car. He set his right foot against the car, and grabbed again ont the handle, and pulled hard. With loud groans and shrieks the door let loose and as soon as it was all the way open, it literally let go of the car itself and fell on the ground.

Chris didn't pay any mind to it and went to get Tony out of the car.

Gibbs went to Danni's side. He opened the car door, only to find Danni's limp body, falling to the side, almost out of the car. Catching her, he laid her on the concrete.

''Danni?'' He patted her cheek, but he didn't get a reaction. He held his ear to her face. ''No. no, no. Don't you do this to me or your father. Sweetie'' He demanded, when he didn't find her breathing. He held two fingers against her throat and was glad to find a heart beat. It was way too slow and way too weak, but it was still there. Still... was the right word. He began to put CPR on her. If he didn't, her heart would also stop. He looked up to find that the paramedics had arrived, were getting their stuff and were running to them.

''Come on Danni'' He begged her. Again he held his ear to her face. He thought he felt her breath against his cheek. He wasn't sure though.

''Sir. We're taking over. Is the female alive?'' Gibbs looked up to see three paramedics in front of him. One of them just a gray as he was. Black glasses on his nose and his hair neatly combed to the side. The two others were some was younger. He came Chris' age. They weren't rookies, but they were under the command of the gray man.

''Her name's Danni'' Gibbs corrected, glaring at the older man. She wasn't just a female. The paramedic made it sound like she was a thing. She wasn't. She was Danni. His granddaughter! ''I am... I'm not sure'' He admitted.

Immediately Gibbs was pushed away.

The older man, did his own check if she was alive.

''Her breathing is slipping''

''She wasn't breathing at all when I came here. I performed CPR on her—'' Gibbs told him.

''Clever thinking, Mr...''

'Gibbs'' Gibbs said, while the one in charge ordered the other two. One of them brought an breathing bag over his mouth and nose and started pumping, helping her to breath.

The other checked her blood pressure and was shocked to found it dangerously low.

''She doesn't seem to have that many injuries...'' The man said. A newbie, Gibbs concluded. He was alright with new people learning, but now he preferred that professionals worked on his family.

''Internal bleeding'' The one in charge concluded. ''She needs to get to the hospital. She will be bled out if she isn't in the OR within 20 minutes''

Gibbs glared again, at the man's hard words, but knew it was likely true.

''George! Update on the Male victim!''

''Ready to be transferred, Sir'' Came back.

''Okay. Take him away'' The first one said. He turned back to Gibbs. ''Are you coming with us, Sir?''

''I am'' Gibbs nodded. ''Chris!'' He called the blond Marine over.

''Yes, Boss?'' Chris asked.

''Stay here. This is a crime scene. The one that hit them, fled. I want everything you can find. Tell Olivia to come to Bethesda. I want Ziva to pick up Mia from school first. Call in McGee and gather as much evidence you can find on the scene. Call Abby and get everything to her lab. She will freak by the news, but I need her at her best so don't come into her lab or the garage without a Caf-Pow, be stern with her, though''

''Yes, boss!''

''Agent Gibbs!'' The paramedic called and Gibbs saw him open with the door. ''It's now or we're going without you''

Gibbs went to go to the ambulance.

''Gibbs!'' Chris called after him. Gibbs turned and looked at him. ''Keep me updated? They're my family too''

Gibbs gave him one of his looks, then a nod, before turning his back to him and stepping into the back of the ambulance.

In the ambulance itself, the paramedics went to work on Danni more. There were more wires going from her body to machines and monitors, available in the truck.

From the outside, Danni didn't look so bad, well besides all the wires and stuff. Looking over, Tony looked far worse. Gibbs knew it wasn't true. He was covered in blood, yes, and cuts and bruises. But Danni was the one that would die if they weren't going to be at the hospital in time.

''Don't go thinking like that, Honey'' Shannon said sadly.

''Too late for that'' Gibbs mumbled under his breath. He couldn't lose anymore family. He couldn't. And he didn't want Tony to know how it felt to lose a daughter. It wasn't going to happen. Not now, not ever. He kept telling himself that.

It was in that moment that Danni's body began spasming and arching off the gurney and alarming beeps and bells went off.

''We're losing her!''

''Come on, Kelly. Help her'' Gibbs pleaded in his mind.

As I said, not much prograss, but still, here it is! Angst all the way? ;)

Tell me your thoughts, I love hearing what you think, but keep it unhateful? haha what do you think, everything, anything ^^

Update again, hopefully within a week!
