Tony's Family: Story 1
Chapter 7
"Your daughter's surgery went well." The doctor said.
"Oh thank god," Tony said as he collapsed into one of the hard hospital chairs.
"I am not finished . While in surgery we found something. Sir your daughter has a tumor. It is in her back next to her spine. If it grows any larger it will paralyze her. We would like to start radiation." The doctor spoke with no feeling.
"What! My daughter has a f*** tumor and you telling me this like your telling your wife the beef is dry! Radiation! God," he ran his hand through his hair.
"I am sorry you feel that way. We can talk about this later. But in the mean time your daughter has just woken up. She is asking for you."
Tony ran down the hall and looked in the door. His baby was asleep, her hair making a swirling pattern on the pillow. The soft beep of the heart monitor telling him she was still on the earth.
"Hey Destiny, baby you awake?" Her eyes flutter open and meet his. "Hey baby. Do you feel better?"
"Yeah, but I want Ziva and grandpa Gibbs. Is they coming?" Her words brought tears to his eyes.
"Not today bug" He managed to choke out."
"Why not? Why can't I see dem?" Her little voice filled with anger.
"You need to stay longer at the hospital. You see-" he couldn't finish the sentence. Her little fingers brushed away his tears.
"Why is you crying daddy?" Her sweet little voice asked.
"I am crying bug because you have this thing called a tumor. You see you have cells in you body. Those cells live and pass away. But a tumor is when a group of cells don't pass away."
"But can't they just live with me? Be friends?" She said with a smile.
"No bug. These cells are mean, like bullies. The doctors need to get rid of them by this thing called radiation. It won't hurt but we will coming to the hospital a lot." Both sets of eyes had tears.
"Can I call Ziva?"Tony nodded and handed over the phone, Ziva's number already read to call. After a few rings she picked up.
"Tony! Is everything alright? How is Destiny?" She rambles into the phone. She is already grabbing her bag and jumping up.
"Ziva? It is Destiny. We have to say in the hospital long 'acause I have a umore. "
"Honey do you mean a tumor?" She asked nervously. She stop dead in her tracks.
"Yeah. Can you come with Grandpa Gibbs and Probie and Abby and Grandpa Ducky and my teddy? Please?"
Ziva sobbed into the phone. She leaned into the wall.
"Ziva? Are you okay?" Ziva sobbed harder. This little girl was about to go through hell and she was asking is she was okay. Her body moved down the wall until her butt hit the floor.
"Yes. I will. See you soon." She shut the phone and looked up at Gibbs.
At some point he had come over to see her . Her tear filled brown eyes meet his soft blue ones.
"Destiny has a tumor. "
