"PITT!" Gibbs said loudly as he saw Pitt take off a pair of gloves, and a mask, looking at Gibbs startled. Gibbs was grabbed under both arms by two securty guys, "Pitt! How is he! Damnit Pitt!" Gibbs yelled.

"Let him go, it's okay" Pitt said. The security guys let Gibbs go and he jogged towards Pitt, "he's resting up, and you were right, it was an overdose, we've extubated him and we're hoping it'll be okay, bu-"

"Hoping?" Gibbs interrupted. Pitt sighed and rubbed the back of his head, staring at something incredibly fascinating on the trashcan at his feet.

"We're not sure if we got it in time.. we've done everything I can think of, he's breathing on his own, but anything more than that" Pitt shrugged, "we just won't know until he wakes up". Gibbs swallowed convulsivly and felt about to faint when Pitt pushed him into a chair, "you'll do him no good if you overwork yourself Gibbs, he's going to need you, listen, I've put Tony on antibiothics, I've heard you're in for a round of that too, so why don't i just get you hooked up to an IV, and place you in the same room as Tony?" Pitt asked, looking into Gibbs's eyes. Gibbs swallowed again, and nodded. "Good man" Pitt said and patted Gibbs's shoulder, "Glady's? Will you ask Emma to hook mr. Gibbs here up to a IV of antibiothics? And place him in the same room as Tony, this might be contagious" Pitt said. Gibbs smirked as the nurse nodded and left.

"Contagious?" Gibbs merely asked, looking up at Pitt, still smirking. Pitt shrugged.

"One can never be too carefull, now, let me sow you up, and don't look at me like that, you winced when I touched your shoulder, and you ever wince.. or so I'm told" Pitt said and winked at Gibbs.

Thirty minutes later, Gibbs la staring at Tony's still form, secretly willing him to wake up. But there was no change, and Gibbs felt exhaustion welling over him, and he yawned widely as sleep pulled him under.

"Jet..pssst.." someone was whispering , "Oh come on, I need to pee!" Gibbs chuckled. Tony's voice. He blinked. Tony's voice? Gibbs opened his eyes and looked over at Tony, who was looking intently at him, "well FINALLY! Jeez! I need to pee, come on, help a poor schmuck!" Tony ordered.

"Tony" Gibbs said happily.

"That's the name of the man that needs to pee, now come on, or I'll wet myself!" Tony said.

"I'll have to call nurse Emma" Gibbs said and pushed the button, and nurse Emma came in.

"Glad to have you back with us Special Agent DiNozzo" Emma said and smiled.

"It's Tony, you look smashing without a mask by the way, but I have a.. pressing..matter" Tony said. Emma looked confused.

"He needs to take a wizz" Gibbs informed her. Emma laughed softly.

"Of course, I'll get a wheelchair for you, and afterwards, Pitt would like to talk to you" Emma smiled and disappeared from the room.

"Thanks, Jet, really" Tony said, pretending to be pouting.

"What?" Gibbs asked.

"Oh come on!" Tony said and raised his arms, when Gibbs looked at him with one eyebrow raised, Tony sighed, and let his arms fall to the side, "he has to take a wizz?" Gibbs sighed and rolled his eyes, "seriously, she's a lady, what will she think?" Tony asked.

"Still hunting ladies Tony?" Gibbs asked.

"You know I don't! But I have an image, which I will cling to for dear life, and the sentence 'he has to take a wizz' does under NO circumstances fit into that!" Tony said firmly. Gibbs chuckled when Emma came back in. It took twenty minutes, and Tony was back, Emma and Pitt even helped him back in bed, "so, how does it look?" Tony asked, and Gibbs saw how nervous he was.

"Well, the drug went out of your system fairly quick, and I can see you haven't lost any functions from it, so-" Pitt was interrupted when Tony cleared his throat, and started picking on his comforter, smiling crookedly down at it, staring intently at his own fingers.

"I meant, how does my back look" Tony said softly, and Gibbs cursed himself. Of course Tony was afraid his back was hurt again.

"Well, it's definetly going to be sore, but from the cat scan, we didn't see any particularely bad things, we'll just have to wait and see" Pitt sighed, "Tony, I know it's a long wait, but backs are very tricky, it'll heal, but it needs time" Pitt said. Tony nodded silently, clenching his jaw. Time. Always, it needs time. Never, it looks better, always a sympatethic look, and the words time, involved.

"Thank you" Tony said and sighed, "so, when's dinner?" he asked, making all three other persons in the room smile and chuckled under their breaths.

"Coming" Emma smiled and walked out. There was silence. Gibbs wanted to ask so many questions, and Tony wanted to tell Gibbs so many answers, but neither man could muster up the currage.

"We're acting like teenagers.. would you please ask already?" Tony asked, sighing. Gibbs chuckled. Leave it to Tony to read his mind.

"Do you think your back will ever heal properly?" Gibbs asked.

"Probably" Tony muttered.

"That didn't answer my question" Gibbs said.

"Well I didn't know I was being interrogated!" Tony said, poison dripping from every word, and Gibbs flinched from the harsh words. Then Tony sighed and rubbed his tired face with a hand, and looked at Gibbs, "I'm sorry Jet, it's just.. what IF my back doesn't get better.. what if there's a physical I can't pass, or I get worse.. i can't really picture myself sitting in a wheelchair all day" Tony sighed. There was silence again.

"It would take a playstation 2, one billion games, soda's and pizza's and candy bars, plus a helluva lot of batteries to get you to sit still a whole day" Gibbs said softly. And Tony looked at him and laughed loudly, making Gibbs chuckle with delight. Finally, a true laughter from Tony. Finally.
