Chp.8

AN: Ha! I finally wrote the next chapter. I'm so very sorry it took me that long. But I had to do so much for school and then it was my birthday and I didn't find the time. I'm sorry. Here's the new one. Have fun. ILU Greg.

"Tony? Hey!" Gibbs walked over to his friend and kneeled down next to him. "Come on Tony, wake up." He shook Tony a bit and Tony slowly opened his eyes. "Hey sleeping beauty." Gibbs smiled. "What's with all that?" He asked referring to the bottles on the ground.

"Just some… beer." Tony sighed.

"Something to celebrate? Huh?"

Tony stood slowly and felt outright dizzy. Gibbs helped his young friend over to the couch and sat him down. "I closed my eyes… and… I saw her. I just couldn't bear it anymore." Tony saw the look Gibbs gave him and quickly added. "I don't need a shrink! I'm okay! I just –"

Gibbs held up his hands. "Hey! It's okay. I believe you. You get sleepy from a few beers?" He smiled at Tony.

"Nah!" Tony shook his head. "I somehow managed to hit my head." He shrugged and carefully rubbed the swelling at his head.

"Let me see."

"It's fine." Tony said and waved Gibbs off.

"DiNozzo." Gibbs warned and Tony surrendered. "Mhmm... you should let Ducky have a look at this."

"Told ya, I'm fine." Tony stressed.

"DiNozzo! One word!" Gibbs took out his cell and dialed. "Duck, it's Gibbs. Could you please come to Tony's. He might have a concussion." Gibbs listened for a few moments. "No, Ducky, I didn't hit him hard enough to get a concussion. Just come over and I'll explain. Thanks, Duck." Gibbs said and hung up. "What ya grinning at?!"

"He thought you hit me hard enough to make me unconscious?" Gibbs glared at him and Tony laughed.

Ducky came about fifteen minutes later and began to examine Tony. "Well, my dear boy, I can't say for sure but you might have a slight concussion. You shouldn't be alone."

Tony opened his mouth but Gibbs interrupted. "I'll take care of him. Thanks, Duck." Gibbs turned back to Tony after he brought Ducky to his car. "You. You're going to take these. You're going to take these and then you're going to sleep."

"If you say so, dad." Tony whispered the last word so Gibbs wouldn't hear.

"What was that?" Gibbs asked.

"Nothing. I'm going to bed."

"The pills, DiNozzo."

"Ah… yeah. Totally forgot about them." Tony answered and Gibbs shook his head. "You're going to tuck me in again?" Tony grinned.

The pillow which collided with his back was enough for an answer and Tony laughed as he walked up the stairs.
