disclaimer : I don't own NCIS or the charaters.

I'm so sorry I took so long to update, I've been really busy for the past few weeks and haven't had time.

Sorry if some of it doesn't make sense i wrote it at like 2 in the morning . I hope you enjoy it though :)

Tony saw a flash and felt an immense amount of pain in his chest. Looking down he saw blood starting to pour out the lower half of his abdomen. Looking up he noticed Gibbs running towards him and aiming his gun at the shooter. Three shots went off and Tony saw the gunman slump down to the floor. Gibbs bent down towards Tony and started to speak to him. The pain was so intense Tony couldn't make out a word that his boss was saying. His eyelids started to feel heavy and staying awake was becoming more and more difficult. Managing to form a few words to his boss Tony felt like he could finally rest. He finally decided to succumb to the darkness.

Gibbs looked at the shooter a second too late. The man had managed to shoot Tony in the chest and he knew that the man was never going to get out of there alive. Shooting like he was trained to do, Gibbs put three rounds into the man's heart before running towards Tony. Kneeling down and taking a look at the damage that was done Gibbs took off his coat and put it over the bullet wound. Pressing down to apply pressure.

"Tony! Listen to me," Gibbs stared down at his agent. "You have to stay ALIVE, you're not allowed to die on my watch Dinozzo."

Gibbs looked at his agent and felt a moment of panic, Tony's eyes were starting to close and his breathing was slowing down. "Come on Tony! Don't give up!"

Tony's eyes suddenly opened up widely. "B-boss, I-I'm S-s-sorry."

As soon as the words escaped his mouth Tony's eyes shut. His breathing becoming shallower and his pulse also slowing.

"MCGEE, DAVID, CALL AN AMBULANCE NOW!" Gibbs shouted through the piece on his wrist.

Ducky stared down at the girl in front of him. Wishing more than anything she would wake up so he could really talk to her. He was sitting in the chair next to her hospital bed and had been so for a couple hours now. Telling her stories about his life, from the good to the bad. But Ducky couldn't help but stop after a while. He was puzzled as to why Tony had never known that he had a daughter. Sure Anthony had managed to get around a lot and was known as a lady's man, but you think that the mother would have decided to let him at least know he had a daughter. Even if she didn't want help to take care of her. Now Tony was off risking his life, just so he could save the daughter that he had never even met. She sure looked like him though. The same hair colour, and those intense green eyes. A noise stirred Ducky from his thoughts. Josie was starting to move in front of him.

"Wh-ere am I?" Josie glanced at Ducky.

"You're at the hospital, you don't remember?"

"Now that you mention it, I do, but where is Agent Gibbs?" Josie started to look around.

"He went to go and help look for your father." Ducky stood up. "I can leave if you want me too."

"No, no please stay. I don't want to be alone." Innocent eyes looked up and Ducky.

"Alright then." Ducky sat down. "Would you like to hear a story?"

"Yes please."

Ducky started on one of his long memories from the past.

The ambulance seemed to take forever to get to the scene. Gibbs kneeled down by Tony with a look a concern in his eyes. He was worried about his agent. He knew he saw Tony as a son, and he really didn't want to lose someone else he cared about. Hearing the sirens in the distance Gibbs stood up.

"McGee! Come hold this down until the paramedics arrive." Gibbs pointed at the blood soaked cloth.

"Yes Boss."

Seeing McGee following orders Gibbs turned to Ziva. "I need you to secure the other crime scene, Then start photographing. When you're done bag and tag."

"What are you going to do?" Ziva asked concerned more about Tony then having to do everything herself.

"Ride back with Dinozzo, make sure the he follows orders."

"What orders?" Ziva looked puzzled.

"The ones I gave Tony when I told him he couldn't die." Gibbs started to walk to the ambulance.

"Update me when you know Gibbs," Ziva called out.

"I will." Gibbs replied before he climbed inside with the stretcher.

"Thank you Dr. Mallard. That was very entertaining." Josie looked up at Ducky.

"Please, call me Ducky. And you're welcome my dear, I do hope you enjoyed it." Ducky got out of the chair. "I'm going to get something to drink, I'll be right back."

Ducky walked out the room and started down the hallway. Seeing the Josie was tired he wanted to give her a chance to fall back asleep, so he figured he had sometime. Not knowing what to do, Ducky walked down the first floor to the cafeteria. Unfortunately having to pass the emergency room. Ducky looked up in time to see Gibbs following a stretcher that seemed to be carrying Tony.

"JETHRO!" Ducky shouted to get his attention.

Gibbs turned towards the sound of his name.

"What happened to Anthony?"

"He was shot Ducky." Gibbs looked upset. "I could have saved him."

"I'm coming with you to wait." Ducky looked determined.

"What about Josie?" Gibbs turned back.

"She's asleep, Jethro but she is getting better."

"Okay then, come on." Gibbs walked down the hallway.

Gibbs was pacing back and forth unable to sit still. He couldn't believe that he let Dinozzo down like that. He should have seen the shooter. He should have been more observant. He hated himself for being that clueless. He was then surprised by arms that wrapped around him.

"Gibbs you have to stop beating yourself up. It wasn't your fault, not at all." Abby looked up at him. "He'll be okay, you know Tony, and he's a fighter."

"I hope so Abby."Gibbs stared down at her. "I hope so."
