Day 8

Tony woke the next morning to the sounds of screaming. That in itself wasn't that odd given his location but this type of scream was different. It was as if somebody was in pain. Climbing out of bed he checked his phone for the time and realized it was almost 8:00am. "Why hasn't anybody woken me up?" he questioned out-loud as he padded his way into the hallway.

What he found there was utter chaos. Every client on the unit was standing around watching as paramedics wheeling Abby out on a stretcher screaming and trying to get away.

"I don't want to go, everything is fine. My baby is fine!" Abby screamed pulling on the mechanical restraints.

"What is going on?" Tony asked Anthony who was leaning against the wall watching in horror.

Anthony turned to Tony and swallowed hard. "Her water broke but she has been fighting getting help because it's too soon. She is like denying that anything is wrong. As you can see they had to restrain her to even get her on the stretcher to go to the hospital."

Tony sighed, "Have they called Chris? I am sure he could get her to calm down."

"I don't know, I would hope so."

Donny came up to the two friends with a scared look on his face. He was dressed in Elmo footed PJ's and it was obvious he needed his diaper or whatever he wore changed by the soggy bulge at his crotch. "Why is Abby going bye bye and crying like that?" he asked tears in his own innocent eyes.

"She is scared, Donny." Anthony responded. "She thinks her baby might be sick and that makes her very sad."

"oh" Donny pouted. "I hope her baby isn't sick because that would be sad. I would be sad just like her."

"My god that girl has some lungs on her. I could hear her in the shower." Ziva said joining the group gathered in the hallway. "Is everything going to be okay?"

"I don't think anybody knows that yet." Tony replied as he looked around for a staff member. It was odd to let them mingle so long without somebody watching and listening.

Just then Paulie came walking up and smiled at everybody. "Good morning guys why don't we get our day going and get showered and dressed. Then we will have a group meeting about what just happened."

"I'm not going to school so I don't have to get dressed." Donny said with a proud smile on his face. "I get to do my work on the unit."

"How come he gets to do that? I want to do that!" Jenny piped up as she joined everybody like Ziva already ready for the day.

Paulie sighed, "Jenny you know how everybody needs to work on their own treatment well this is part of Donny's treatment. You do great in school, I don't know why you would want to be stuck here on the unit anyway."

"Yeah I guess." She noticed the breakfast being brought and quickly followed after the tray's, Ziva on her heals.

"Well I am going to get dressed." Tony said turning and heading for his room. Once in his room he found a pair of gray jeans a maroon T-shirt and a bright orange sweatshirt. He figured it would probably hurt people's eyes but he didn't care he felt like being an ass like that. Once dressed he headed out to get breakfast before finishing his hygiene like brushing his hair and teeth.

Most everybody was already in the dinning room when he entered. He of course found his tray next to Anthony and Timmy. "Where were you during all the chaos a little bit ago?" he questioned Timmy.

"Hiding." Was Timmy's reply. "It was too loud so I stayed in my room and hid in the bathroom."

"You do realize our bathroom door is made of foam and Velcro, right?" Anthony teased his friend. "Wouldn't take much to get you out."

"I think that's the point." Tony said with a mouthful of his breakfast.

"Don't say that shit you crazy bitch!" Jenny screamed from the other end of the dinning room. She was screaming at Ziva who was sitting there with a smirk on her face.

Everybody in the room turned to figure out what was going on between the girls.

Timmy and Donny could be found hiding under their respective tables not wanting to be a part of the mess. Timmy knew how bad fights between the girls could get and that scared him.

"Girls what is going on?" Mark asked as he came in to give Paulie support in the dining room when he heard the yelling.

"She just said she hopes that Abby's baby dies." Jenny explained glaring at the other girl. "Who says that shit?"

Mark turned to Ziva. "That isn't a very nice thing to say Ziva. I can understand why Jenny would be upset."

"Is it just me or does those two yelling give you the biggest boner?" Anthony whispered to Tony.

Tony made a face. "Jesus dude I did not want to know what was going on in your pants. BUT to answer your question NO way. I am gay remember and only get Boners for one person, or the thought of that person.

Brushing that off, Anthony turned to the action again, this time putting in his two cents worth, not able to help himself. "Don't worry Jen it's not your fault she's being a bitch. She is just pissed because Abby is HAVING her baby and she killed hers."

Without anymore words and without the staff able to intervine quickly enough Ziva was on top of Anthony with her hands around his neck choking him.

Tony was seeing red by this point nobody messed with his friends. He was quick to jump on top of Ziva trying to pry her off of Anthony. "Let go you fucking bitch!" he screamed.

It was easier for the staff to get Tony off of Ziva then it was to get Ziva off of Anthony. By the time they did the teen had nasty bruises around his neck and he was gasping for air.

As for Ziva with pure bruit strength the staff was able to get her to a seclusion room where they could figure out what to do next. They would have to call Anthony's parents and it was quite possible they would press charges against Ziva and she would be sent to Juvi rather then the mental health facility.

Once pulled off Ziva Tony stayed calm and went to sit in his seat again. He didn't want to get into any trouble he just wanted to help his friend who he felt was in grave danger.

Anthony was swept out of the room and out to the main area where he could get checked out by the nurse. There they would decide if he needed to take a trek to the emergency room to get looked at further.

Both Timmy and Donny came out of hiding once things seemed to have calmed down. "That was intense." Donny said as he took his seat a scared look still on his face. "I think I want to call my mommy and daddy and have them come and pick me up. It's scary here."

"Well I bet Anthony's parents will press charges which means Ziva will leave and that will help keep things safer. She was always getting into messes." Timmy said as he glared at his breakfast as if it had done something to him.

Tony sighed and pushed his tray away. "I want to have breakfast and go to school like a normal kid. I am sick of this institutionalization stuff."

Jenny walked over to the table and snorted. "Tony you have been here what a week? Except for Donny here you have been here the shortest amount of time. It's way too early for you to be complaining about things. The rest of us have been here at least a month if not longer."

Again Tony sighed, "I know that I just want to be normal. But I know that will never be the case."

"Don't say that. You are going to leave this place and everything will go back to how it should be." Jenny said with a flirty smile. She knew Tony was gay but she couldn't help her feelings either.

"Okay you guys it's time to finish getting ready for school, Mrs. King will be here to get you guys in about twenty minutes." Paulie said from the doorway.

"Yikes I haven't put my make-up on yet." Jenny exclaimed as she dashed out of the room.

"Somebody actually puts on make-up in the loony bin?" Tony questioned Timmy who gave him a shrug.

"I have never understood girls so it wouldn't surprise me if she puts make-up on. Even though she doesn't need it." He blushed as he said this, he happened to find the redhead rather attractive.

Tony smirked but didn't say anything. He didn't want to cause problems by embarrassing Timmy. "Come on Tim let's finish getting ready for school." He then saw Donny still standing in his PJ's. "Yo Don you may not have to actually go to the classroom but I bet they expect you to get dressed to do school work on the unit."

Donny pouted as he looked down at his comfy Elmo PJ's. "Well that sucks, I like what I am wearing." He said before stomping out of the room, leaving it empty except for Tony.

"Oh Goodness," Tony said shaking his head before leaving himself.

Tony glanced over at Timmy in the seat next to him and once again the boy wasn't doing his silent reading. Of course he was being silent but he wasn't reading. It was then Tony got an idea. "Hey Mrs. King?" he asked raising his hand.

Mrs. King came over to Tony with a smile on her face. "Yes Tony?"

"I was curious if maybe I could take Timmy to the back of the room and read to him since he isn't doing it himself." Tony asked, biting his lower lip. He was never one to take the iniciative in things, especially school related.

A bigger smile came over Mrs. King's face and she patted Tony on the shoulder. "That is a great suggestion Tony and I am sure Timmy would love for you to read to him."

Timmy had been listening to the conversation and was in awe that Tony would help him like that. "You'd really do that Tony?"

Tony nodded his head. "We can read your book or I can read you mine. Do you like vampires?"

"I like vampires." Timmy said as they got up and headed to a table in the back of the room.

Towards the end of reading time Paulie stuck her head in the door and then walked in and over towards Mrs. King. Tony had stopped reading as the tried to hear what they were talking about.

Mrs. King got a huge smile on her face and turned to the class. "Class I just got some great news. Abby had a baby boy about half an hour ago. He's small but both mother and baby are doing just fine."

Loud hoots of excitement rang out in the classroom. All thoughts of silent reading were forgotten and everybody started asking questions at once.

"What's his name?" Jenny asked a huge smile on her face.

Paulie chuckled before answering. "Astro Comet Collins."

Everybody in the room busted out in giggles at the name their friend picked for her son.

"Where in the world did she pick Astro from?" Jenny questioned.

"Not to mention Comet for a middle name it sounds like they want to be a part of the Jetsens." Tony added.

Mrs. King laughed, "I am unsure of where they chose their names but aren't we all glad that everybody is fine and healthy?"

The class nodded in agreement.

"On that note, for a special treat today we are going to skip what I had planned for math and I am going to get out the art supplies and we are going to make congratulations cards for Abby and Chris."

The whole class let out cheers of joy as they cleared off their tables to make room for creative masterpieces.

"You know who would really like this project?" Tony said out loud to anybody to was listening. "Anthony, I hope he's doing okay." He still couldn't believe the marks Anthony had on his neck after Ziva got done choking him. He wondered if he had gone to the hospital and if they were transporting Ziva away.

Jenny carried her art supplies over to Tony and Timmy's table and smiled. "So do you think they are going to kick Ziva out?" she questioned as she folded a piece of construction paper in half twice.

"I guess it depends on if Anthony's parents press charges and if that happens that she can't plea insanity because that would just keep her here longer I would think." Tony said his two cents.

"I hope she leaves." Timmy mumbled as he too folded a bright blue piece of paper.

It was then Tony noticed how small their class was that morning and saw Jimmy sitting all by himself working on his card. "Yo Jim why don't you join us. I am sure Jenny can scoot her big ass over to give you space on that side of the table."

Jimmy simply shook his head and Jenny kicked Tony in the shin from under table.

"Fuck! You didn't have to do that!" Tony exclaimed as he reached down to rub his hurt leg.

"Tony please watch your language and tone of voice. Jenny don't kick your friends." Mrs. King said with a slight laugh. She knew she shouldn't be laughing but sometimes these kids acted like such normal teenagers that she loved to hear their banter. She also knew that Jenny had a huge crush on Tony but form what she had hear the boy was already in a serious relationship and with another boy at that.

Tony mumbled an apology and continued to work on his card. He was drawing multicolored balloons and writing the words 'congratulations' on the top. He didn't think he was very artistic but he could get a card made well enough.

Timmy was drawing a picture of Outer space with a comet zooming through it. On top he wrote 'Welcome Astro' in his normal chicken scratch.

Jenny was making an elaborate birthday cake using scissors and oil pastels. "Do you think the cake should have blue or green frosting?" she asked the boys.

"Well since the background is blue it should probably be green." Tony said giving his input as he colored in his balloons. Red, Green and teal. He then turned to Mrs. King who was sitting with Jimmy while he did his project. "Hey Mrs. K do you know what has happened with Anthony? Last we heard he might have had to go to the hospital because of what that Bitch did to him.

Mrs. King sighed at Tony's words but didn't correct him. Instead she simply answered his question. "I don't know what is happening with Anthony or Ziva I have been too busy having fun with you guys." She smiled.

Tony rolled his eyes as he looked at the clock. "I guess we will find out in a few minutes anyway its almost time for lunch." He looked down at his unfinished card and opened it up to start writing something inside. 'Hope your new little Bundle of Joy brings you Joy even though I am sure you want to continue with the misery' he wrote laughing to himself. He knew the Goth would get what he meant by misery. "Okay I am done with my card." He said holding it up in the air.

Mrs. King came over and looked the card over to make sure it didn't have anything inappropriate in it. She was a bit worried about the misery comment but didn't say anything. "Nicely done Tony."

"Mine is better then his." Jenny exclaimed as she held up her fancy cut out cake on the front of her card. "See…"

"It is very pretty Jenny but I think all of you did a great job. I love how you did a space theme Timmy." She said ruffling the young teen's hair. She then went over to Jimmy and held up his card after getting his permission. "Jimmy did a great job too."

Jimmy's card had a picture of a stork carrying a blue blanket on it. It was very intricate and nicely done. Everybody was nicely surprised to see how good of an artist Jimmy could be. The only problem was now he seemed to find drawing on his face with the markers to be exciting.

"Jimmy that isn't face paint. We can do that another time." Mrs. King said helping get the markers away from Jimmy and ushering him to the bathroom to wash off his face.

Tony had never seen Jimmy do anything remotely odd like that before. "What was THAT all about" he asked the other two teens at the table.

"Sometimes he does weird things like in a group he'll lift his shirt up and pat loudly pat his stomach. Or once he drew a smilie face on his stomach and kept lifting his shirt up to show everybody. I am not sure he knows how to get positive attention or something." Jenny said with a shrug. "You get used to strange things going on around here. Even the staff people can be strange or at least act that way to try and keep us in good spirits."

"Okay guys it's time to line up to back for lunch. When you return after lunch we will work on our science projects. Remember if we can positively make it through these animal research projects then next week we can make volcanoes." Mrs. King said with a bounce in her step.

Mark, who had been quiet most of the morning, got up from his chair and went to the front of the line. "Okay guys and gal lets go." Soon they were back on the unit which was actually quiet. That made the kids wonder if somebody had taken Ziva or maybe they had killed her in her sleep? That was Timmy's thought anyway.

"Hey guys did you get to make a card for Abby? I did and I got to use glue and glitter." Donny exclaimed as he bounded into the room when the other teens came on the unit. It was quiet obvious that he did get to use glitter and glue because it was in his hair and on his clothes. But it looked like he had a fun time and didn't blow out over anything which added fun for the staff members working with him.

"We got to make cards but we didn't get glitter and glue. We got scissors and oil pastels and makers." Jenny said glancing at Jimmy who was still covered in markers since they didn't completely wash off on the first try.

Tony looked around the main area and pouted when he didn't see what or well who he was looking for. He then walked to the nurses' station and waited for help. When Lauren came to the window she smiled at him.

"What can I do for you Tony?"

"Did Anthony go to the main hospital?" he asked with a sad look on his face.

Lauren sighed and nodded her head. "He was having difficulties breathing so we sent him to get checked out."

Tony clenched his fists at his side. "Is Ziva gone? Because if she's not then I am going to give her what for."

Lauren stood up a little straight as if getting ready for battle. "Tony Ziva is being taken care of. What is happening with her isn't your business to take care of."

"It's my business that she hurt my friend." Tony said with his voice raised not backing down and beginning to get worked up.

Mark came walking over and stood next to Tony. "Hey man why don't you call that boyfriend of yours before lunch starts?"

Tony turned to Mark and sneared at him a little. "He's at work asshole." He pushed away from the nurses' counter and headed to the main area, flopping on the couch and crossing his arms glaring at whoever happened to walk by. He even attempted to kick the cleaning lady as she headed for the main door.

Mark groaned, since the early morning incidents they had been having such a good time. Why did this one kid have to go off the handle so quickly. 'It's the reason he's here Mark just deal with it, you love your job.' He thought to himself. With a deep breath he walked over to Tony and took a seat on the other end of the couch. "I know Mrs. Kolburg smells like onions all the time but you don't have to kick her for it."

"Leave me the fuck alone." Tony said with a glare in Mark's direction.

"Dude this is so not worth it. You've had a great morning, made it the whole time in school and now you're working towards not being able to go back this afternoon which means you might not get to do volcanoes next week."

Tony let out a not so happy laugh. "I don't care about stupid ass volcanoes. What I want is for my best friend to not be in the hospital because of a homicidal maniac.

"Tony, Anthony is going to be fine. He should be back here at any time this afternoon. He was just getting a check-up. As for Ziva she is being taken care of where she needs to be to work on her treatment. Right now that is what YOU need to be doing. You shouldn't be worrying so much about them and focus more on getting through the day without incidents, which I know you can do. Now why don't you head on down to the dinning room and get some lunch so you are ready for class this afternoon."

"I'm not hungry." Tony said his arms still crossed over his chest. It was obvious he was not getting over this as fast as Mark would have liked.

Sighing Mark got an idea. He pulled out his cell phone and found the number he was looking for. He waited as it rang and then smiled when a friend picked up. "Hey Josh, you still with the Howard kid? Okay cool do you think you could put him on the phone. I have a kiddo back here who is worried for his friend. Yeah that would be great, thanks." He was silent for a second before handing the phone over to Tony.

Tony was a bit confused but took the phone anyway. "Hello?"

"Hey Man, why are you calling on a staff's phone?" Came Anthony's voice on the other end of the phone.

Tony smiled to hear the other boy. "I guess Mark REALLY doesn't want to have to hold or seclude me today so he called you and gave me the phone." He took a deep breath. "You really okay Man?"

Anthony smiled even though Tony couldn't see it. "Yeah I am fine, got some pretty awesome bruises and it hurts to breath a bit but the doc here says I will be fine. I told them they didn't have to send me to the hospital but they insisted and blah blah blah."

"Well good, so you will come back soon?"

"Yeah I should be leaving here in a few minutes. They will probably keep me back from school this afternoon to watch me but better then being in this place. I hate hospitals."

Tony laughed, "You LIVE in a hospital but I get what you mean. When I was there for my stomach and allergic reaction thing the other day I hated being there too and couldn't wait to get back here." He looked around and noticed something. "Well Man everybody is heading to lunch so I should go but it was good to hear you are okay. See you in a little while." With that he turned off the phone and handed it back to Mark. "Thanks."

"Feeling better now?"

"Yeah again thanks." Tony said before getting up off the couch and heading for the dining room. Everybody else was already situated with their trays in front of them eating and chit-chatting with fellow clients. Tony took his normal seat next to Timmy but instead of Anthony with them Jenny had joined their table. "Hey Jen."

Jenny smiled, "Hi Tony, I heard you got to talk to Anthony on Mark's phone. How's he doing?"

Tony swallowed one of his chicken nuggets before responding. "He's doing fine, he should be coming home in like an hour or so. He figures they will keep him out of school this afternoon though."

"I want to be kept out of school for the afternoon." Timmy said once again dropping food onto his clothes but he didn't seem to mind. "

"Tim you do fine in school." Jenny laughed shaking her head at the sloppy young teenager.

Speaking of sloppy teens Donny came walking over to the table still covered partly in glitter. It WAS obvious somebody helped him clean up but just didn't get all of it. "Hi." He said to the table, for some reason seeming shy.

"Hey Donny." Tony said giving his best DiNozzo smile. "Is your family coming to visit tonight?"

This got a huge smile from the younger boy and he nodded his head, "Yeah my mom and dad are coming and even bringing my little sister Amy."

"How old is your sister?" Jenny questioned.

Donny held up two fingers. "She just turned two"

Everybody at the table looked at the young teen with wide eyes, it was Jenny who spoke up. "Two?"

"Yeah…mom and dad say she was kind of an oopsy baby." Donny giggled. He didn't know THAT much about sex but he did know where babies came from.

"So it is like they have two toddlers." Timmy said without thinking. He often said things out-loud that he shouldn't and it got him into trouble. Thankfully Donny didn't seem to get what he was saying. Instead Donny just shrugged and wondered out of the room.

Tony glared at Timmy. "Dude you gotta be careful about saying shit. He could have taken offence to that."

"I know." Timmy said with a sad look on his face. "I'm trying."

"You are." Jenny agreed as she finished off her salad and stood up. "Well I am going to go work on the puzzle before class." She then put her tray away and headed in the same direction Donny had just gone.

This left Timmy and Tony at the table to finish off their lunch. It only took the boys another five minutes before they too were heading to the main area. It was a few minutes later that Lauren was calling for Tony.

"Hey Tony you ready for meds?" she questioned from her spot behind the med counter.

Tony looked up from the book he was reading with a confused look on his face. "I don't have afternoon meds…"

Lauran glanced down at a clipboard in front of her and then back in Tony's direction. "It looks like the Doc wants you on something in the afternoon too. Why don't you come up here and we will talk about it in private."

Tony got up and headed over to the med window. "So what poison are they trying to get me to take now?" he said with humor in his voice but quickly shut it down when he remembered not to call medication poison. "I mean what new meds?"

"Well it looks like he wants to start you on 600mg of Lithium and 1mg Klonopin in the afternoon." Lauran said as she handed the pill cup in Tony's direction.

"Oh, okay." Tony said as he took the cup and then a cup of water and drank down the pills. "Hopefully they won't make me too sleepy so I can live through school in the afternoon."

"Well keep us posted, if it does you can talk to your doctor and get things changed around. We want you to be successful." Lauran said smiling. She was happy when she got clients that were good at taking their medication.

By the time Tony was done it was time for school to start up again. Mrs. King along with a few other staff members came to join the afternoon fun.

School went by without incident, Donny even made an appearance for story time and did great.

By the time they got back from class Anthony was home and sitting at the table working on his drawings. He looked up as his peers came walking into the room. "Hey guys."

Tony was at Anthony's side in a matter of seconds and checking out the huge purple bruises on his friends' neck. "Dude you said it was nothing…this is insane!"

Anthony shrugged. "It's all good, at least that Bitch is finally gone, right?"

Tony hadn't known Ziva for very long but never really would have called her a 'bitch, at least not until that morning. "You missed finishing up our science projects in class. We are starting the volcanoes tomorrow. You going to be in class tomorrow?"

"Yeah I think so." Anthony said as he looked back down at his drawing. It was obvious he wasn't really in the mood for manic chit-chat with Tony at that moment.

Thankfully Tony's social cues were pretty top notch and he got the hint. "Well I am going to go change my clothes before group. Have fun drawing, hope to see you in group."

Tony headed down the hallway to his room and once there flopped onto his bed with a heavy sigh. He hated that Anthony seemed rather depressed. He had seemed better on the phone than he did now back on the unit…maybe something else happened in between the hospital and the unit? He thought to himself.

Getting up he found a pair of black sweats and one of Jet's t-shirts and quickly changed. He hated that he could get sweaty from sitting in a classroom all day when he wasn't doing anything active. He figured it was something he should talk to the doctor about whenever he saw a medical doctor and not just a psychiatrist. That reminded him that he should have seen an internist doctor days ago. He had been there over a week now and still hadn't seen anybody.

With that thought in mind he threw on his slippers and headed out of his room and down to the nurses station. There he found Rocky and Lauran exchanging notes for the shift change. He didn't want to interrupt them but did want to talk to somebody so he cleared his throat from his spot across from the counter.

Rocky looked up and smiled at Tony. "Hey kiddo what can we do for ya?" the back man questioned.

Tony walked up to the counter, "I don't know who to ask this but I still haven't seen the internist doc since I came here and I wanted to ask him about my sweating."

"You're sweating a lot?" Rocky asked trying to get the facts. As he did so he got a piece of paper off the desk behind him to take notes. "Can I write this down?"

"Sure." Tony said and then nodded. "Yeah I have to change my clothes after school because I like sweat them out and it's not like it's the middle of summer or that we do anything really active in class. It's not really a HUGE deal but it is kind of annoying."

"We can send a request in to the doctor, Tony. We should know about a visit by tomorrow." Lauran spoke up with a smile. "I'm sorry about that, it must be annoying."

Tony nodded again and was going to say something when the intercom turned on and Pauley's voice could be heard telling them to meet in Room 1 for afternoon group. "Guess I gotta go, I will talk to you guys later. Or see you in the morning Lauran if you are gone." With that he headed off to room 1.

He was the last person to join the group but he wasn't late either. Their group was much smaller since both Ziva and Abby were gone. Tony saw Jenny pouting and mumbling something to Paulie about being the only girl.

"We are actually getting a new client tonight or tomorrow." Pauley said causing everybody to look in her direction. She laughed. "I won't tell much but her name is Ellie and she is fourteen."

"You guys take no time in filling spots." Tony laughed as he took a seat on one of the couches next to Jimmy. It was then he noticed Anthony wasn't there and sighed. Yeah something must have happened since his phone call with the other boy.

"Okay guys since everybody is here who is going to be here let's get started. If we get done sooner then we can get to Super Social sooner." Pauley said as she started passing out index cards to each person. "So nobody share what your card says to anybody. We are going to play what I like to call 'Coping Man'"

"Is that like hang-man?" Donny questioned as he wiggled around in his seat, something obviously bothering him but he was trying to act normal at the same time. "I like hang-man."

Pauley smiled. "It's exactly like that. I just wanted to give you guys cards with the coping skill on them so you know how to spell it." She then added. "Not that I think you guys can't spell."

"I can't." Timmy laughed as he looked at his card. Surprising everybody he stood up. "Can I go first?"

"Sure Tim." Paulie let the teen walk to the white board and started putting dashes on it.

Everybody in the room started guessing letters, Jenny guessed the letter 'E' and when she got it right she was about to guess another letter when she couldn't take it anymore. "Donny stop wiggling you are driving me batty and I am already batty!"

Donny pouted and stopped wiggling but now his hand went to his crotch. "Sorry" he said looking sad.

Tony noticed what was going on and stood up. "Pauley can I take Donny away from group for a second? I promise I won't do anything wrong. I will take him right to a staff person."

Pauley understood what was going on and smiled. "Both of you run right back."

"Come on Don let's go have a moment okay." Tony said gently leading Donny out of the room but without touching him. Once they were in the hallway he continued talking. "Remember that potty book we read? You got that feeling?"

Donny was quiet but started up his wiggling again, this time flopping onto the floor in the hallway.

Tony groaned, "Okay fine stay there." He said dashing off to find one of the PM staff members. He found Sean talking with a very distressed looking Anthony. "Fuck." He said under his breath and then dashed to the nurses station forgetting to stay back until they called him. He stood there for a minute before giving up because nobody was coming to his calls. "There is no way in hell they are having me read this potty training book to this kid and not let me help him." He said out loud as he dashed back to Donny who was now sitting on the floor but he wasn't wiggling. 'Shit'. He thought to himself. "Hey man…"

"Hi Tony." Donny said looking at Tony when he sat down next to him.

"Did you pee?" Tony questioned and like he figured Donny shook his head in the negative. "Hmm okay…so you were just dancing a jig for the fun of it?"

Donny giggled, "Yup." He said smiling. "Can we go back to group now?"

Tony wasn't sure what to say to that, should he take a pissy pants Donny back into group? Would they want that? "How about we see if we can get Rocky's attention again then we can go to group. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want a rash on my dick and I KNOW you just pissed your pants D." he wasn't sure where the nickname came from but Donny seemed to like it.

Just then Rocky came rushing towards them, "Tony, Donny what in the world are you guys doing?" he questioned fear in his eyes that something bad had been going on since they were unsupervised like they shouldn't be.

"I WAS bringing Donny to the bathroom but I couldn't get anybody to help so he didn't make it." Tony tried to explain. "Pauley said I could take him out to find a staff….so that's what I tried to do."

Rocky looked at both boys and figured they both looked fine. "Okay, Tony you go back to group I will take care of Donny."

Tony glared at Rocky a little. "Thanks." He grumbled.

Rocky sighed. "Thanks Tony I know you were trying to help but this could have been a major issue. Pauley should have called me or Sean to come and get Donny not have you take him to us."

Donny pouted, "I didn't do anything to him…he was trying to help me." He then added. "But I had an accident anyway…can I take a shower? I don't want to get a rash on my dick." He said just like Tony had a few minutes earlier.

This had Tony giggling but stopped when Rocky gave him a stern look. "I will go back to group now." He said heading into Room 1.

Meanwhile everybody in group had gone except for Tony so it was his turn to go up to the board. His coping skill was 'Take a Nap'…which he found ironic because that WAS one of his coping skills.

It took almost the whole "hang-man" for his peers to guess but soon 'Take a nap' was on the bored and everybody cheered.

"Great job guys and gal." Pauley said as everybody got up. "Go ahead and get your coats and other cold weather gear and meet me in the dining room to go outside."

Tony was about to head to his room to get his winter gear when he spotted Anthony sitting on the floor outside his room crying. Shocked to see the boy so sad he knelt down next to him. "Hey Man what's going on?" he asked as best he could.

Anthony looked up and wiped at his eyes. "I almost went home, Tony…my parents almost pulled me out because of what happened but Doctor McCallum and Michael convinced them not to because of the day I had yesterday." He sniffled. "I was almost packing my stuff when they came and told me to keep it where it was."

"Oh gosh…" Tony shook his head, "That is awful I would be crying too. I can't believe they could do that. I mean aren't your parents allowed to take you out whenever they want to?"

"No I'm committed…I have to do three months in this place because of the trouble I got into. Plus you gotta remember they are my foster parents. If the state doesn't want me to leave then they can keep me here." Anthony tried to explain.

Tony sighed, "I get it…well if it means anything I am glad you're still here, you're my buddy."

That got a small smile out of Anthony. "You're my buddy too, Tony. But it would have been nice to go home."

"I know, I get it." Tony said and then thought of something. "Oh Pauley let it spill that we're getting a new girl named Ellie either tonight or tomorrow." He glanced at the clock on the wall. "Seeing the time it will probably be tomorrow I would think."

"How old is she? What's her deal?" Anthony seemed excited about the prospect of a new girl coming.

Tony shrugged, "All I know is she's fourteen. I guess we'll learn more if she'll tell us." He smiled. "You just want another girl around to flirt with. What Jen not enough for you?"

Anthony laughed out loud. "Jenny and I are just friends and always have been. Plus meeting people in a mental hospital is not really the thing to do."

"Hey you two…let's get your stuff and come outside." Pauley said giving the boys a stern look. "Gotta remember you can't be sitting around by yourselves in the hallway like this."

Tony and Anthony both apologized before going to their respective rooms and getting their coats, hands, gloves and boots. Soon they were ready to go outside, at least for a few minutes.

Everybody came outside that afternoon, even Leon and Jimmy. Of course the staff had a hard time keeping Leon in his winter clothes but that wasn't too abnormal. Jimmy was busy playing with sidewalk chalk with Jenny and the rest of the boys had a basketball game going.

"Man Donny you are actually good at this." Tony teased the younger teen as he made another shot in their game of 'HORSE'

Donny pouted a little. "You seem shocked." He said as he tossed the ball to Anthony who made his shot as well.

Sean came over to the boys smiling. "Great teamwork guys…you have all had a great day so far."

"Great he just jinxed us." Tony exclaimed in his best flamboyant tone causing everybody, even Sean to laugh.

"Thankfully the day is almost over." Donny pointed out.

Just then Pauley pulled out her walky-talky and talked into it for a second. Once she was done she called out to the group. "Okay guys Rocky wants us to come inside it's too cold for us to be out here. We can go inside and have free-time with some hot chocolate and tea."

All the kids quickly got in a line and headed back inside to have their warm beverages and play games and draw for a little bit before dinner. Of course the whole time everybody was thinking about visits happening after dinner.

At 6:00pm the visitors came wondering onto the unit and signed themselves in. Tony was almost worried when Jet didn't come in right away but he was only about a minute late. He got his visitors badge and gave Tony a big hug.

"Missed you Baby Boy." The Seventeen-year-old told his younger lover.

Tony smiled as he pulled back from the hug. "I missed you too." He then led Jet down the hall to his bedroom and closed the door. Without saying anything to his lover he pulled him down on the bed for a heated kiss. He couldn't take it anymore his young teenage hormones were driving him crazy and he NEEDED his boyfriend something fierce.

Jet allowed the kiss for a good five minutes before pulling back panting. "Tony we can't. They do check's every like ten minutes and I won't get either of us in trouble."

"But I need you, Jethro." He used the older boy's full name to try and make his point. "It's been almost two weeks since we made love. When we were used to doing it every day or more than once a day it's like a lifetime."

"I know Tony but this is something that I won't budge on. If you pressure me I will leave." Jet said firmly.

This made Tony's temper flair. "Fuck you Leroy Jethro Gibbs…Fuck you and not in a good way because the good way is what I want except I want you to fuck me." He got up off the bed and stormed out of the room leaving a shocked Jet in his wake.

Meanwhile quite a few people were out in the main area doing a puzzle or showing off art work. They all were shocked when Tony stormed into the room and over to the main door and began banging on it. "I'm fucking leaving…Jethro can stay in my place because he is the fucking Loon.' He yelled kicking the door for good measure until Sean was standing behind him ready to deal with the situation.

"Tony you need to back up." Sean said gently to the upset teenager.

Jet stood at the base of the hallway watching the situation. It had been a few weeks since he had actually seen one of Tony's meltdowns. He always thought the teenager looked a lot like a big toddler when he acted this way. He hoped Tony would calm down so they could finish their visit, but with the way the other guy was acting he wasn't so sure that would happen.

When it looked like Tony was about to get in the middle of Donny's family visit Sean and Lee the evening/night security guard (who Rocky must have called) quickly moved Tony from the main room into the area in front of the seclusion rooms. They would try to not seclude the teen but wanted to keep him away from the rest of the group until he calmed down.

"Tony what is going on? You've had an awesome evening, let's not blow it." Sean said to the now pacing Teen who thankfully wasn't trying to charge past the adults who were trying to keep him in said area.

"I want to be with my boyfriend…and I mean BE with him." Tony exclaimed out of frustration. "He comes to visit but he won't even let me kiss him in fear that more will happen. Well you know what I fucking want more. I want to be an adult and be able to have as much sex in a fucking hospital as possible."

Sean sighed, he hadn't seen THIS one coming. Was Tony really freaking out over not being able to have sex in the hospital? "Tony we have rules for a reason and I'm sorry if they are tough to handle and follow but this is something you just have to deal with."

Tony sighed and stopped his pacing in front of Sean who was standing calmly. "I'm SO horny Sean…can't you understand that?"

"Of course I can." Sean said with a slight smile. "It hasn't been THAT long since I was a teenager." He saw a hopeful look on Tony's eyes so he had to add. "But that doesn't mean we can break this rule…actually it means we have to make your visits with Jet more strict if it's going to be a problem having him in your room alone."

"Saw that coming." Tony said sighing again and flopping on the floor sitting against one of the seclusion room doors. "Can we still hang to night? That is if he'll want to hang with me? I mean we can even stay right here in plain sight if you want."

Sean shook his head and when he thought Tony would protest he made sure to start nodding instead. "I shook my head simply because I don't need you two to sit by seclusion. We may need it and you're not in trouble. Not that you're in trouble whenever you get in seclusion."

Tony chuckled, "I get it…so can we like go to the dining room or something? I figure some other group of people are in there for supervision."

"Jenny and her mom are there so yeah that would be fine and I know for a fact Jet is still here waiting for you." Sean smiled and helped Tony off the floor. He then led him back to the main area where Jet was talking with Anthony and his family about the crazy happenings of earlier that day.

Sheepishly, Tony walked up to his boyfriend and tapped him on the shoulder. "Babe…"

Jet turned around and smiled at Tony. "Ready to finish our visit?"

Tony nodded, "We have to go into the dining room with Jenny and her mom…Sean doesn't think it would be a good idea for us to be in my room anymore."

"I think that's a good idea." Jet said as he let Tony lead him to the dining room. Sure enough Jenny was talking and laughing with her mom but there was still enough space in the rather large room for a new pair to visit with each other.

Jenny smile at Tony and Jet before going back to her visit.

Later that evening, before bed, Tony found himself sitting with Anthony at the 'art table' scribbling on one of Anthony's art papers. "You sure you want me doing this one your expensive paper." He questioned holding up a picture of what was supposed to be his dog but looked more like an alien. "It's like an embarrassment to the art paper."

Anthony chuckled and shook his head, "It's fine Tony."

"Hmm…" Tony bit his lower lip and went about adding a background to his picture. This included a tree, grass and some birds. As he drew he thought of something. "So do you think they are going to make Abby come back after her and Cosmo leave the hospital?"

"I dunnno…I mean I think that was the plan, but she had been doing well so maybe she would get to go home. I hope so because Cosmo needs his mommy." Anthony said and then looked up from his picture. He held it up to show Tony. "Whatcha think?"

Tony looked at the amazing picture. It was actually of…him…" Did you just draw that as I sat here?" he questioned already knowing the answer since the picture was of him drawing and biting his lower lip. He chuckled. "I think Jet would like that. He loves when I bite my lip like that.

Anthony chuckled, "I will give it to him tomorrow then."

Just then Donny came walking over already dressed in his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajamas and smiled at the guys. "Hi." He saw Tony's drawing and laughed. "Nice doggy Tony."

"Hey cool somebody can tell what it is!"

"Tony…" Donny said looking nervous.

This had Tony worried, "Yeeesss…"

"Can you read to me before I go to bed? I mean I understand if you're busy with Anthony but you read to me so nice the other day that I would like you to read to me now." Donny rambled and held out a picture book on 'social skills'.

Tony smiled and nodded, "Sure thing dude." He smiled at Anthony before taking the book and leading Donny to the couch. There he sat with the younger teen and read the book. It only lasted about five minutes though because soon Donny was falling asleep on his shoulder. "Uhh Donny…" he shook the boy but he didn't wake up.

"I will get Pauley or Sean." Anthony said dashing out of the room.

Soon Pauley came and helped get Donny up on his feet. "Hey boys it is time to get ready for bed. If you need a shower it's time to do it."

"Can I take a shower in the morning?" Tony questioned with a yawn. "I'm really tired."

"Yeah." Pauley said before continuing to help Donny out of the room.

Tony and Anthony said goodnight and headed in the direction of their bedrooms.

Tony got changed into his pajama pants and long sleeved t-shirt and climbed right into bed. He was even too tired to use the bathroom or brush his teeth. "Night Jet." He whispered to the empty room before turning the light off and falling right to sleep.
