Chapter 25

Sarah walked into her brother's room with the team. When they saw Tim for the first time, it was hard for each of them. Abby had tears in her eyes as she walked over to Tim and put a hand to his face. She wiped some hair from his forehead as she assessed his injuries. Tony stood at the door and could not move. Sure he gave McGee a hard time but Tim is a brother to Tony. Seeing Tim beat up this badly just sent chills up his spine. Ziva walked over to where Abby was standing and grabbed a hold of Tim's good arm. She noticed Tim's parents had backed away to allow his second family a chance to see Tim. Ziva looked at his parents and asked "Did the doctor say when he would awaken?"

Sam looked at his son and sighed "The doctor said it should be anytime now. I am just hoping we hear something about Allie before he awakes."

"As do I Mr. McGee." Ziva said as she sadly looked at Tim.

Tony couldn't take the site any longer and quickly left the room. Ziva noticed Tony walk out and excused herself as she followed him out of the room.

She hollered for him as he kept walking. Tony slowed down to allow Ziva to catch him.

"What are you doing Tony?" Ziva questioned as she noticed his angered posture "I know you are scared crapless but McGee needs you."

"Shitless Ziva and I am there for him, but looking at what they did to him just makes me so angry. That is our Probie in there, who has lost his girlfriend and possibly his child. Of all the people in this world, McGee doesn't deserve this."

"Tony, we do not know anything about Allie or the baby yet. They are fighting for their lives as we speak. No, McGee doesn't deserve this but it has happen and we will be here for him regardless about what happens." Ziva replied as she stood closer to Tony.

Tony looked Ziva in the eyes "Your right Ziva. It's just; you saw Allie and she didn't look good when they brought her in."

"No she didn't but she was alive when she was brought in." Ziva stated as she looked Tony in the eyes.

Tony let out a deep breath as he said "Let's find out if there is any news on Allie."

Ziva nodded and followed Tony into the waiting room. When they arrived, Gibbs was talking with the doctors as Rebecca and Jessica were hold onto each other crying. Ducky saw the two agents and walked over to them.

"Ducky?" Ziva said as she watched the doctor walked over to them.

Ducky sighed as he began "The doctor has delivered the baby and Allison is in surgery. She isn't doing well. They have revived her twice, once during the delivery and once right after they delivered. She has a lot of blood and isn't doing so well."

"How is the baby doing?" Tony questioned as he saw Gibbs walking toward them.

Ducky replied quickly "Ah, she is doing surprisingly well for being two months early and being through the trauma that she has been in."

"How is Tim doing?" Gibbs asked as he walked up to the group.

Ziva looked at Tony then spoke "He hasn't woke up yet but should soon Gibbs."

Gibbs nodded as he said "Stay here with Allison's family. Duck, lets go talk to Tim's family."

Ducky nodded as he followed Gibbs to McGee's room.

Gibbs and Ducky walked into the room and saw Abby sitting with McGee's family.

Abby turned to see Gibbs and questioned "Gibbs have you heard anything about Allie?"

"Abs, Can you go with Ducky while I speak to Tim's family?" Gibbs asked as he walked toward her.

She nodded with a puzzled look and followed Ducky out of the room. When they were alone, Sam looked at Gibbs and pleaded "Please tell me you have some good news to tell my boy."

"The doctor just talked with Allison's family and me. The doctor just delivered the baby. She is doing very well considering. The doctors are doing everything they can but Allison has lost a lot of blood."

Sam looked at his wife then back to Gibbs "Thank you Agent Gibbs."

"You can call me Jethro." Gibbs stated as he looked at Sam.

Sam nodded as he began to say something when Sarah hollered "Tim! Are you awake?" She looked at her family "He just squeezed my hand."

Everyone looked at Tim and noticed the young man was blinking his eyes. Sam and Catherine were at his bedside.

"Tim." Catherine said as she rubbed her son's forehead.

Tim struggled to talk as he said "M--Mom, Dad..What's going on?"

"Tim, Hun, you just hand surgery so let's try to rest." Catherine said as she tried to keep him calm.

Tim winced as he tired to sit up and quickly lay back down "W--where's Allie?"

"Sarah, can you please get Tim's doctor?" Sam questioned as he turned toward his daughter. Sarah nodded as she left the room quickly. Gibbs watched as both Tim's parents tried to keep his mind off Allison.

"Agent McGee. It is good to see you awake." Doctor Murphy said as he walked into the room "How's the pain?"

Tim winced again as he tried to get comfortable "It's about an 8 or 9."

"I'll get something for that. Any other questions?" Doctor Murphy questioned as he wrote in Tim's chart.

Tim cleared his throat "Where is my girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend? Oh, you mean the agent that came in with you? I do believe she is still in surgery." Doctor Murphy stated as he began giving Tim the pain medication.

Tim looked at his parents then back at the doctors as he began to feel sleepy. Tim tired to fight the feeling but succumb to the medicine.

Doctor Murphy looked at Tim's parents "The baby is his child as well?"

"Yes doctor." Sam said as he watched over his son.

The doctor sighed as he said "I'll check on Agent Wilder's condition and will be back with a report."

"Thank you doctor."

The doctor left as Rebecca and Jessica walked into the room with Tony, Ziva and Abby. Gibbs nodded as everyone walked into the room. Rebecca cleared her throat as she looked at Tim's family "I am Allison' sister. My name is Rebecca. I thought you all might want to meet your granddaughter and niece."

Sam smiled as he looked at his wife "We would like that Rebecca."

Jessica smiled as she said "I am Allison's aunt. I can show you where your granddaughter is and Becca will stay here with Tim."

Sam and Catherine walked out of the room with Jessica to see their granddaughter. Sarah walked out a few minutes later with Abby who had Ziva promise to call if Tim woke back up or if they found out news about Allison.

Twenty minutes later, another doctor walked into the room.

"Is Rebecca Wilder and Agent Gibbs in here?"

"Yes." Two voices said as Rebecca and Gibbs stood up.

Outside the room, the doctor introduce himself.

"My name is Doctor Hackman. I have been working on Agent Wilder."

Rebeeca interrupted "How is my sister?"

"I am sorry we did everything we could but we couldn't get her stable after her C-Section." Doctor Hackman explained as he watched Rebecca begin to cry "I am so sorry for your loss."

Gibb nodded as he said "I want out M.E. to do the autopsy."

"Of course Agent Gibbs." Doctor Hackman said as he walked toward the main hallway.

Gibbs wrapped his arms around Rebecca as she cried. Tony and Ziva walked into the hallway when they heard the crying.

"B--." Tony said but quit when he saw Gibbs face. Gibbs shook his head as Ziva pulled her cell phone out and went back into the room. Ducky and Palmer walked into the hallway as Gibbs held Rebecca.

"Oh dear." Ducky said as he walked to Gibbs and switched places with him "Come my dear, I saw an empty waiting room down the hall."

Ten minutes later, Jessica, Abby, Sam and Catherine walked into Tim's room.

"What's going on Gibbs? Ziva told me to bring everyone back to Tim's room." Abby said as she noticed the faces of Ziva and Tony.

"Where's Becca?" Jessica said as she looked around the room

Gibbs stood up and walked over to Jessica "Please sit."

"What is going on? Where is?" She began until Jessica looked into Gibbs' eyes "No! No! Please tell me you aren't going to tell me my baby is gone?"

Gibbs swallowed hard as his heard everyone's reactions " I am sorry Ms. Anspaugh."

"Where is Becca?" Jessica said as she stood up.

Gibbs sighed as he told Jessica "She is in the waiting room down the hall with our M.E."

Jessica nodded as she followed Gibbs down the hall. Sarah looked at her parents, who both were crying, and turned to look at her brother.

"How are we going to tell Tim?" Sarah said as she looked at everyone.

Sam stood up to walk to Sarah " I don't know Sarah. I just don't know."

Abby watched Tim's family and decided to leave them alone. She along with Ziva and Tony left the room. Abby looked at Tony and began to cry. Tony pulled Abby into a hug.

"I promised Tony. I promised myself no more becoming attached to people at NCIS. This is why Tony." Abby rambled as she hugged Tony" After Kate and the Director, I told myself not to get close, becuase this is what happens when I get close. People die and I don't like it when my friends die."

Tony looked at Ziva and sighed " I know Abs. I know."

"We have to be here for Timmy. This isn't going to be easy for him." She said as she let of Tony and hugged Ziva.

Tony smiled sadly "No it won't be easy."
