A/N: sorry if a bit crazy but not really good at wedding scenes and next chapter just skips a month or so since really have no idea what to do for one...McGee and Abby went on one paid for by Hetty after Gibbs helped plan a few things. Gibbs had planned on heading somewhere for one but ended up taking her to Stillwater after his father had called and told he came down with pneumonia and was bed ridden
this chapter is really how Gibbs had spent the 2 week after Abby/McGee wedding and him going down memory lane
Gibbs was asleep when he suddenly is jerked out of a peaceful sleep and not sure what woke him up and sees Hollis asleep next to him with her head on his chest and then hears what had woken him up which was his cell phone ringing and answers, "Gibbs?"
"Agent Gibbs this is Dr. Connors from the clinic in Stillwater, Pennsylvania and I have been treating your father for pneumonia," he tells him.
Gibbs carefully sits up not to wake the other person on the bed up, "I had no idea he was ill. He was here about a month ago."
"Well been a few days since he was admitted but I think he needs some rest and your on his records for medical emergency. I would like for him to be off his feet for at least a week and would mean he needs someone here to take care of him."
He runs a hand through his silver hair, "Thank you doctor I will be there in a few hours to pick him up."
"Okay just come to the front desk and ask to see your father and they will come and find me and we can go over a few things."
Gibbs hangs up and see her eyes open, "Hm, Jethro?"
He kisses her softly, "Jackson was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and needs someone to look after him for a few days. Thought since we were going to stay in for the 2 weeks maybe can go there and show you around the place."
She chuckles and sits up, "Hm, sounds like a good plan to get away from here even if for a few days even if going to take care of your dad and the store."
He rolls his eyes, "Just wait and see how it is and maybe show you a few nice places."
She can see the hurt in his blue eyes still and kisses him, "Only if you want to and in time."
He nods and helps her stand, "How about you take a shower and I can start breakfast and then we can pack and head out?"

After they both have breakfast, pack and have a shower together (a/n: can guess what they do in there) and he loads their bags in the trunk of his yellow charger and they set out for a long ride and she looks out the window, "How long has it been since been to see him?"
He realizing out of everyone on his team she's the only one that has never been there, "Last year I took everyone up there for Christmas and had a blast. You will love it. Small town and everyone knows just about everyone and everything."
She lays her head on his shoulder intertwining their fingers, "So in no time they will no your married?"
He chuckles a little, "Knowing him he already has told everyone in town."

A few hours later
They had made a few stops to eat and stretch and finally he sees the familiar sign and the train station which brings back some memories all good ones and hopes he can work some courage to be able to show her around town to some of his old haunts growing up as he pulls up to the small hospital and see her asleep with her head against the window and decides to leave her in the car which he parks in front and keeps running as he walks to the front desk, "Dr Connor's is expecting me."
The small blonde woman nods and walks off and comes back with a tall man in her late 50's, "Agent Gibbs nice to meet you. I am Dr Connor's I have been treating your father. We have arranged for a nurse to stay with him during the day since he said he didn't need one at night since you would be home."
He takes one last look to see Hollis asleep still and follows him to a room to see his father sitting on the bed, "Jethro nice to see you made it but whe-"
He interrupts him, "She's asleep in the Charger so left her."
The doctor hands him some prescription, "He can pick them up in the pharmacy here and call me if have any questions. His nurse will be by in about a hour."
Both Gibbs walk slowly to the car after picking up his meds, "Leroy, I can get in the back since she doesn't need to climb back here and asleep still."
The ride to the house is in silence and once there he helps his father inside and then sets the bags inside and heads back to the car and picks her up and carefully carries her inside to lay down on the couch in the living room, "So a nurse, dad?"
The older Gibbs nods, "I want to let you two have sometime alone up here and can watch the store and then go do something afterwards. Plus Caroll is the nurse and she's sweet."
There's a knock at the door and the younger Gibbs answers, "You must be Caroll?"
She smiles and shakes his hand, "Jethro it has been quite a while since seen you around these parts. How's married life?"
He rolls his eyes and leads her to the living room and sits on the arm of the couch, "Been crazy so far with work but so far good. How are the kids?"
"Jane is good and going to have another baby which is #3. Patrick just turned 40 last week and his daughters are 4 & 9. Karen is going back to school to finish becoming a lawyer. Emma has just finished her residency at the hospital. Luke moved his family practice to DC and should give you his number seeing Jackson here mentioned you and another person at work are expecting which he could be a good help with since you two are still best friends."
Gibbs had known the middle child of the nurse since he was a kid and they had stayed best friends even after he moved away to become a marine and they still often met when they had time away from work to just catch up, "Actually she already is his patient."
She smiles and thinks, "Oh yes I remember meeting her last week when I stopped by the place and I had recognized her from a photo Jackson has of your team somewhere."
He shakes his head and goes to the kitchen and comes back with some tea for his dad and her, "So Leroy how long you two plan on staying?" His father asked as the nurse was fusing with him and checking to make sure everything was good.
"Not sure dad at least until your able to get back to the store and go from there."
"Well that should sound like fun. Show her around town and some old places since she never came up here."

A few hours later
Hollis woke up to realize she was asleep on a couch and looks around to see Jackson sitting in a chair watching some game on the TV and a tall woman with gray hair was sitting by him and she slowly sits up and yawns, "Where am-"
Jackson stops her, "He thought you needed some sleep so he left without you. It's about 2pm and should be back in a few hours unless you want maybe Caroll can take you there?"
She shakes her head sighing, "If you think that's okay?"
Caroll smiles at her, "No problem at all. I was headed there soon to pick some stuff up for dinner and bet he could use the company."
Gibbs had left Hollis back at the house figuring she could use the sleep after their last case was draining and headed to the store which was so far slow so he was stacking a shelve when the bell above the door dinged and looked over and snickered, "Thought you would be out less."
She smacks his side, "Haven't been sleep with that case but glad you let me but not sure want to know how got inside without waking me."
He finishes and walks to the fridge and hands her a bottle of ice tea and leans against the counter, "Not as heavy as you think."
She glares at him, "So how long are you here for?"
He shrugs, The day is slow and he called and told me to close up and take you around town."
She waits by the car as he locks up and looks around, "Wow this is really nice place. I can see why your father loves it."
He takes a deep breath, "Well nice and small place for an old man to go."
"Yeah but you and Shannon grew up here?"
He intertwines their fingers as they walk down the road, "Yeah she was 3 years younger then me and we met...the day I was leaving for boot camp...we were both heading to the big city and talked the whole ride there and then started to see each other."
She could tell he was sad about the memories but was glad she there, "I finally proposed 2 years later and married a few months after that. Kelly came along about a year later. Both of our parents were so happy to have a grand child."
"Was she a only child?" She asked as they stopped at a park.
He shakes his head and sighs, "She was an only child and went to school with Nick." (a/n: i made it so Gibbs had a little brother)
She lays her head on his shoulder, "Why didn't he come?"
"Nick works black ops for the Marines and haven't heard from him in a while he gets ahold of me when he can or some other way. Guess he followed in my footsteps and became a sniper and by the way he talks almost as good as me."
what you think about throwing in how Gibbs has a little brother that just like him became a Marine sniper? I didn't write to much about what they did there because have no idea what would write about and the next chapter is after 2 weeks
