Hello I'm going to post as much as possible with the SATs coming up.

The next morning, Wednesday, would be the forth day Gibbs was at the center. Gibbs woke to fogged pain. Mike was asleep reclined in the plush chair, his head resting on the upper arm of the chair without being uncomfortable, holding his hand right hand. Tim looked up from his book as he shifted, drawing his attention as he turned his head some. He leaned forwards and set his right hand on Gibbs arm.

"How are you, Gibbs."

"Alright, groggy and in some pain." he croaked out. Tim held the cup of water as Gibbs sipped from the cub, understanding he didn't want to move. Gibbs gave a slight nod of thanks as he set his head down.

They looked over as the clicker to the pump was handed to him, seeing Mike sitting straight, still cradling Gibbs right hand. Tim gave a small smile at the scene . There was concern and paternal love in Mike's eyes and Gibbs eyes showed the gratitude for help and just being there. It was a look of love a son gives to a father. Mike gave a genuine smile as he ran his right hand through Gibbs hair.

"Easy probie," Mike said. He picked up the hand holding Gibbs, to hold the clicker between Gibb's hand and his. Tim sat down as Sheila came in with three food trays on the cart.

"Hey fellas, Donnie will join us after he drops the cubs of at school." she said as she set the trays down on the moveable tables. Since the werewolves frequented these places for emergencies and surgeries they had several so packs could eat together. Gibbs smiled as she checked over his tubes and vitals. He was feeling better after the pain medication increased.

"How are the girls doing?" Tim questioned.

"Oh their fine, a bit worried about our 'indestructible Alpha staying in the center, as Tiana said."

"Let them visit" Gibbs said dicisively. Sheila looked at him as if scanning his wellness before smiling and nodding.

"They'll be overjoyed to see you. I'll leave you guys to eat. Tim and Mike you have meat omelettes, toast, coffee and juice. Jethro you have a blueberry muffin, scrambled eggs, hash with sausage gravy and juice. Enjoy and don't forget to use the pain medication to be able to rest Jethro." She commented. Gibbs nodded and they thanked her for the food.

While eating they kept a steady stream of conversation, enjoying the company. Gibbs managed t eat all of his food, granted they were smaller portions but his stomach was still healing. After Mike took care f the trays of dishes Tim helps Gibbs lower so he could lay down, as his eyes were drooping.

"Got your six boss." Tim whispered as Gibbs feel asleep. Mike sat back down with a smirk.

"That always works on him." McGee looked at him with a grin.

"We learned that, calms him down when he's high strung to." The relaxed into a comfortable silence as Tim read and Mike watched tv. Around ten Tony and Ziva joined them early to spend time together and take over for their shift. Half an hour later, Tom was still their as they listened to Mike regale them with his old missions.

"So I'm standing next to Probie, ready to arrest or kill the guy ready to shoot him. Probie looks at the guy whose ranting about his plans and how we ruined them and says, 'Seriously, we've heard this a million times either shoot or give up, either way shut up.' And the man was so shocked he just put his arm by his side and gaped at him." Gibbs raspy voice interjected.

"I don't now how you cuffed him the way you were laughing and huffing." This made the others laugh harder. As they were quieting own the door opened. They saw Tiana and here sister walk in.

"PAPA JET," hugging him, gentle even in their excitement. Sheila and Donnie smiled at them as Tony and Ziva lifted them up to cuddle Gibbs side and under his arms. Tim and Mike reluctantly left a few minutes later, the family in Gibbs pack decided to stay for awhile.

"We were worried because you never stay more than a day if you aren't working here. The only reason you ever sleep here is either to work overtime because you're helping someone, like with therapy, and, and the last time you were here you were beat up." Mira rushed out, no breathes detected as she talked.

Gibbs tried to hide his chuckle, "I'm okay sweethearts, healing just fine. I'll only be here a few days. Had a minor car crash, these people are just a bit paranoid about me." He looked up at the others, letting them know he was just reassuring the girls. It was necessary to be idle, tired, and medicated in order to heal, in reality what he didn't like was being incapacitated and slow-witted. It went against his very being, especially he became a Marine and federal agent, they understood this.

"Good. You may be alpha but I'll kick your butt if you don't let the rest of the pack take care of you." Tiana said, Gibbs raised his eyebrow.

"Really, cub is that so?" he said in his Alpha voice. Tiana remained brave, hands on her hips as she knelt beside him. She mimic his raised eyebrow.

"Really." Mira joined, copying her sisters pose.

"Well, I guess I have no choice then," he voiced in a defeated tone, huffing as he pouted for her benefit. The others tried to keep a strait face at the girls proud voice and high-five. They laid back down next to him, falling asleep soon after.

"Haven't slept well knowing their alpha wasn't in normal working order." Gibbs smiled, knowing they would be content now.

"I can understand worrying about Jethro, but what is it about being an alpha that can change a life routine so much?" Ziva asked.

"As alpha I have a connection to all pack members. When things happen to them or me we can tell something is off but not what. So as they were uncertain as to what degree I was incapacitated. Add to that they learn I was in the center as a patient they were off center. It happens because of a disconnect off the connection alerting them something was wrong and the lack of knowing what it was."

"The pack is now completely re-centered as we all know what happened, to a degree." Sheila glanced at the girls, "As well as knowing he is healing, the pack members are informed based on what they can fully processes. Which is why only some pack members have stopped by or called depending on what schedules and capability allowed." Donnie and Sheila picked up the girls without stirring them so they could take them home for the day, they next day was the first of a three day weekend.

"We promised the girls that we would take them up to the woods for their three day weekend, to roam as wolves." Gibbs nodded, as he kissed the girls cheeks as they awoke a bit.

"Enjoy, your break." They left and Gibbs fell asleep wore out from even this small visit, happy the pack was stabilized.

Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. As always leave review of any comments on, ideas and improvements for the sorry.
