A/N Be on the look out for me and Jeresa4ever'snew story coming soon!
He opened his eyes, remembering everything. He had to stop waking up in hospitals. It was so annoying. Everything was still so fuzzy and he just wished that he was at home in bed. In bed with Jenny, holding her.
"Good Morning Agent Gibbs did you sleep well?" The doctor asked walking in. He was tall, skinny, he had brown hair, and he obviously liked axe.
He just nodded and gave a quick glare.
"Can I take a look at you bandage?" He asked motioning his hand in the direction of his head wound.
"Do I have a choice?" Gibbs barked.
The doctor laughed, "Not really, I am just trying to make you feel more comfortable."
Gibbs just sat there while the doctor played around at his head.
"It's a lovely family you have, very caring and protective of you. They've been here all night ya know." The doctor smiled.
Gibbs shrugged, "They're good people."
"Indeed they are."
"So when do I get to go home doc?" He asked cutting to the chase.
"How bout' this, I'll make a deal with you. If you cooperate and let us do our jobs, then I can have your discharge papers ready by tomorrow morning how's that sound?" He grinned.
Gibbs smiled, "Deal." Just then they heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Gibbs said not sounding as powerful as he would've liked to, so it was likely that the person on the other side of the door didn't hear him.
As the door opened, Jenny walks in and Gibbs' heart skips a beat.
"Jen." He smiled.
Jenny has been sitting out in the waiting room all night with Tony, McGee, Ziva, and Abby. She needed to get up and walk around. One can only handle so much of DiNozzo's jokes before one feels the need to shoot themselves.
She walked over to the front desk. "Jethro Gibbs, is he awake?"
The receptionist looked up at Jenny and smiled, "One moment please, I'll ask his doctor."
She stood there waiting for a few minutes until the lady came back. "I spoke with his nurse and she told me that Doctor Martin is in with Agent Gibbs now."
"Thank you." Jenny smiled.
She turned around, took a sip of her coffee, and headed for room 142.
While she was walking to his room she noticed a little girl that was no older then 8, sitting in a chair in the hall. She looked like death took over. Which is not something you want to look like in a hospital. She walked over to her.
"Hi." Jenny smiled.
The little girl looked up and back down again.
"My name's Jenny, what's yours?"
She looked back up and into Jenny's eyes. "Anna, my name is Anna."
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm tired. I was up all night." Anna said.
"Why are you out here all by yourself Anna?"
"I went looking for my parents, but I got lost."
Jenny smiled, "I'll help you look if you want, do you know where they are?"
Anna was trying to remember then said, "My grandma told me that they took them to some place called the morgue. But I can't find them, I've tried every room."
Jenny's smile faded quickly, "Come with me Anna." She said as she took the girls hand.
Jenny and Anna walked back to the waiting room. "Do you see your grandma?"
"Yeah she's right there." Anna said pointing to an aging lady dressed in casual attire.
Anna led Jenny towards her grandma. "Grandma, this is my friend Jenny, she said that she was gonna help us find Mommy and Daddy!" She said with a smile.
The older lady looked up to Jenny with a concerned face.
Jenny spoke up, "I found her sitting by herself in the halls and she told me that she was looking for the morgue. So I brought her back here."
Anna's grandma nodded, "My name is Susan, Anna's parents were in a car accident last night. Thank you for bringing her back to me. She's always wandering off. I'm sorry if she was a bother."
Jenny smiled at Anna, "No bother at all, it was a pleasure to meet you Anna, and thank you for introducing me to your grandma."
"Thank you." Susan said. "Now Anna let's not keep Jenny held up. I'm sure she has someone she's here to visit."
"Actually I do, it was nice meeting you Susan." Jenny said with a smile and waved. "Good bye Anna, stay out of trouble."
Jenny went all the way back up to the 3rd floor and headed towards Gibbs' room. She couldn't wait to see his face. Since her little encounter with Anna she's had time to think. That little girl just lost her only parents and yet she still seemed to be so happy. It was heartbreaking. She couldn't imagine what she would do if she had ever lost Jethro. She would die of heartache, that's what she would do.
She knocked on the door and opened it when no one answered.
She walked in and saw Gibbs in his bed looking straight at her. His eyes were as bright as the sun shining through his window.
"Jen." He said with a huge smile.
"Good morning Jethro." She smiled.
The doctor cut in, "I just got done telling Agent Gibbs that if everything is well, I can have him out of here by tomorrow morning, but he can not return to field work for some time do to the brain damage."
Jenny nodded, "You hear that Jethro? So be good!"
His doctor laughed, "Well I'll just be going, take it easy Agent Gibbs." and with that he left.
Jenny walked over and sat on the edge of Gibbs' bed. "Thank you." she said.
"For what?"
She hesitated, "For saving my life." After meeting Anna, she realized how short life can be, and that you should never take things for granted, because maybe when you finally get up the courage to do something good with your life, it will be too late.
Gibbs sighed, "Jen, we've gone over this before. I will always be there for you. I'd rather it be me in this bed than you."
"I know Jethro. I'm always here for you, remember that."
Gibbs smiled, "Forever."
Jenny nodded, "Forever Jethro." She leaned down and gently pressed her lips against Gibbs'
"Jethro just eat it."
Gibbs shook his head, pouting like a child. "No."
"You need to eat."
"It looks like something that would come out of DiNozzo's ass Jen."
"Remember what the doctor said? If you want to get out of here tomorrow you better eat." Jenny said firmly.
"I don't wanna."
"Fine, then you leave me no choice." Jenny said as she grabbed a spoon full of the disgusting cafeteria slop and put it up to his mouth. "Open"
Gibbs' shook his head again.
"I'll get you coffee if you eat it."
Gibbs gave in and opened his mouth, allowing Jenny to spoon feed him.
When he was done eating the slop, with the help of Jenny, he looked at her and said, "That was almost romantic Jen." He smirked.
"What? Me spoon feeding you?"
"Kinda, if it wasn't so disgusting, it would've been cute." He laughed.
Jenny laughed, "Jethro I think the pain meds are starting to work."
"Why would you say that?" Gibbs asked right before he asked Jenny where his boat was.
Jenny kept laughing, "Jethro, how in the world would they get your boat in this hospital?"
"The same way I got it out of my basement." He stated looking proud.
"Oh yeah? And how's that?" She asked curious.
"Ummm, I forget." He said laughing.
Jenny hit him playfully, "Get some rest Jethro it's late."
"I don't wanna!" He whined.
Jenny sighed, "Jethro you need some rest. Think of it this way, if you go to sleep than tomorrow morning will come faster and-"
Jenny stopped talking when she looked over and saw that Gibbs was already dead asleep.
She leaned down and kissed his head. "Am I really that boring?" She smirked.
