The following morning the kids were late waking up due to the late night. Tony was the last to wake up and was still tired. He barley ate anything while the rest of them ate hungrily. They set out for the beach again where they found Mikey's family already there.

"How are you all today?" Tom asked when he saw them

"Some of us are a little sleepy." Gibbs replied with a smile. "How are you?"

"The same." Tom laughed.

They quickly spread out their blankets and put up a sun umbrella.

"Can we go swimming?" Abby asked as soon as everything was ready.

"Sure." Gibbs replied as they all started getting changed into their swim suits.

They were all plastered in sun cream before they were let run off to the water. The adults relaxed and continued their conversation from the previous night, while keeping an eye on the children. Two hours had passed before the kids returned and they were all quickly wrapped in towels. Tony was shaking with the cold so Gibbs helped him get dried and warm while Jenny, Jackson and Ducky helped the others. When everyone was warmed up they started getting lunch ready. Tony was wrapped in a blanket as he ate a sandwich. He was still cold although it was quite warm outside. He was getting sleepy as they finished eating so lay down on the blanket with his head resting on Gibbs leg. Tony quickly fell asleep so Gibbs picked him up and moved under the umbrella with him.

"Is Tony sick again?" Mikey asked worriedly. "Is he going to die?"

"No Mikey, he's just tired." Jenny assured. "I think he just over did it yesterday. He'll be fine again tomorrow."

"Oh ok." Mikey replied but still looked worriedly at his new friend.

Tony only slept for an hour so when he woke he started playing with the others but was careful not to overdo it again. Soon it was time to go home. Jethro had already booked a restaurant for that evening so they invited Mikey's family to come for dinner the following day.

The Gibbs and Mallard families returned to their rental home and got ready for their evening out. Gibbs was worried that Tony was too tired to enjoy the meal out, but they were going anyway. They got into the two cars and drove to the nearby town. The restaurant catered to families so there was a great selection. They were glad to see that Tony wasn't too tired and actually managed to eat most of his meal.

The following day the Gibbs family with Jimmy were going on another hike. Jackson and Ducky had decided to stay at home. Unfortunately Tony was still tired but he didn't complain and managed to make it the full way. They had a picnic before they headed back and at this stage Tony was exhausted and stumbled occasionally. Gibbs picked him up and carried him the rest of the way home. Tony was so exhausted that he went to bed as soon as they got back and did not wake until Jenny called him just before Mikey and his family arrived.

Tony had just sat down on the couch when there was a knock at the door. Tim opened the door and let everyone in. Mikey quickly sat down beside Tony on the couch.

"Hey Tony, you missed a great game of football today." Mikey said happily. "Will you be back on the beach tomorrow?"

"Um I think so." Tony replied "We went for a walk today so we didn't get to the beach."

"Are you ok?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah I'm just tired." Tony assured as Jimmy sat down beside him. "It was a long walk today."

"You sound a bit wheezy." Jimmy commented. "Are you sure you're ok."

"Yeah Jimmy I'm ok." Tony replied unconvincingly.

"Um Jenny said that dinner is ready." Jimmy continued. "We should go sit down."

Mikey and Tony got up and followed Jimmy outside. They were eating outside today as there was more room for everyone. The food was already on the table so they sat down with the others and everyone started eating.

Tony again didn't eat much and by the end of the meal he was coughing quite a bit.

"I think you need your nebulizer." Ducky said as he moved beside Tony "How are you feeling?"

"Just tired." Tony replied when he finished coughing.

"Come on, let's get your nebulizer on you and then you can enjoy the rest of the evening." Ducky said as he led Tony to the living room.

Jimmy got up and followed them and stayed beside Tony while Ducky got the nebulizer. When Ducky returned he quickly turned on the nebulizer and Tony relaxed on the couch. He was twenty minutes into the treatment when the other kids came in and sat down.

"What's that thing?" Chris asked curiously as he sat beside Jimmy.

"It's a nebulizer." Abby replied "It helps him clear his lungs so he can breathe easier."

"Oh ok." Chris replied "Um does he have to use it a lot?"

"Not too much anymore." Ziva explained as she too sat down. "Only sometimes."

"When he got out of the hospital first he had to use it 3 times a day." Tim continued. "But he is much better now."
"So how long has he been out of the hospital?" Mikey asked as he continued watching Tony.

"4 weeks." Abby replied with a sigh. "He was so sick then. He really is much better now."

The kids were all quiet while Tony finished his treatment and then they went back outside to play.

Tony was still a bit wheezy and tired but he stayed up until everyone went home. He took his inhalers going to bed and also used oxygen for the night.
