The next morning Jimmy and McGee still could not get Tony to come out of his bedroom. McGee had to leave to take Jimmy to the Science Museum. He hated leaving Jimmy but he had already rescheduled five times and Abby couldn't go because she had to take Kayla to the doctor to get a nasty ear infection checked out. Jimmy tried all morning to coax Tony out finally he had to call Ziva and have her break into the room to get Tony out.
"WAAAAHHHH!" Tony cried.
"Here you go and I am so sorry about Jack." Ziva replied handing a screaming Tony to Jimmy.
"Thanks I'll tell Gibbs the funeral is sometime next week but I am driving Tony up today." Jimmy explained.
Jimmy packed a couple of bags for him and Tony to take up to Stillwater with them. Jimmy watched Tony sit on the bed Gibbs made for him. Kicking his legs back and forth.
"Where are we going?" Tony asked.
"We have to go to Stillwater for Grandpa Jack's funeral." Jimmy explained.
"I'm going too?" Tony asked.
"Of course that's why I'm packing for you." Jimmy replied.
"OK" Tony replied.
"Why would you think I wasn't taking you?" Jimmy asked.
"Because first Shannon stayed in Stillwater and then Gibbs and Maggie went without me and I am scared you are all leaving me." Tony explained.
"Tony Shannon only wouldn't let you stay because she didn't want you to miss school or Gibbs and Gibbs and Maggie only went without you because Jack didn't want you to see him when he was really sick." Jimmy explained.
"OK" Tony replied.
Once he had packed for both himself and Tony Jimmy loaded the stuff into Maggie's car. She had said to take her car since Jimmy's was unreliable. Jimmy fastened Tony into the backseat and then got in the driver's seat. After making a quick stop for gas and a couple bottles of water and juice for the trip. Jimmy started the four hour drive to Stillwater. Jimmy surprised himself by only getting lost once on the four hour drive to Stillwater.
"OK I am officially lost." Jimmy thought.
"Jimmy I need to use the bathroom." Tony whined.
Jimmy sighed and drove until he saw a gas station. He asked for the bathroom key and after letting Tony in he asked for directions to Stillwater. The clerk could tell that Jimmy was worried so he wrote out very detailed directions for him. Jimmy waited a couple more minutes for Tony to get done in the bathroom.
"You feel better?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah" Tony replied.
"Alright well I got directions to Stillwater so we can go now." Jimmy explained.
Jimmy returned the bathroom key, bought a bag of Frito's and thanked the clerk for the directions. Then he took Tony back to the car, studied the directions and finished the drive to Stillwater. He accidently went to the store but somebody pointed him in the direction of the house Jack rented in the end.
"JIMMY!" Maggie cried,
"Hi Maggie" Jimmy replied.
"Oh hi Tony I thought you were still in the car." Maggie greeted.
"Hi Maggie. Where are Gibbs and Shannon?" Tony asked.
"There in the other room." Maggie explained.
"So what are you doing?" Jimmy asked after Tony ran off to meet Gibbs and Shannon.
"Uh making funeral plans." Maggie replied.
"Oh yeah I guess you would be doing that with Jack dying yesterday and all." Jimmy stammered.
"You are so adorably awkward." Maggie replied.
"I'm glad you like it I am pretty sure your dad hate's me for it." Jimmy replied.
"No he thinks it's cute." Maggie assured.
"Shannon! Gibbs!" Tony cried running into Gibbs's arms.
"Oh Tony I needed to see you. I am sad about my dad and you make me happy." Gibbs explained.
"You still love me?" Tony asked.
"Of course no matter what I will always love you." Gibbs explained.
"Jethro how about you take Tony for a little walk you both could use some air." Shannon said.
"That sounds lovely." Gibbs replied.
"You know that your grandpa Jack loved you very much." Gibbs told Tony during their walk.
"Yeah" Tony replied sadly.
"Tony son what's wrong?" Gibbs asked noticing that Tony looked troubled.
"Is Shannon coming home now?" Tony asked.
"Yeah now that Jack is dead she is coming back." Gibbs replied.
"Is it bad that I am happy? Cause Shannon is coming back but Jack is dead?" Tony asked.
"No Tony I am happy Shannon is coming home but I do really miss my dad." Gibbs assured.
"I miss Jack too." Tony replied.
"Come here it will be OK." Gibbs said embracing Tony.
The two Gibbs men continued their walk and everything went fine until they got to this one spot. Gibbs needed to stop to tie his shoe.
"WAAAAHHHH!" Tony cried suddenly.
"Tony what's wrong?" Gibbs asked.
Tony stood completely still his body tensed up his eyes closed.
"Tony are you OK?" Gibbs asked.
"WAAAAAH!" Tony cried again.
"What's wrong son?" Gibbs asked.
"This is where my dad abandoned me!" Tony cried.
"Oh Tony I'm sorry." Gibbs explained.
"Jack saved me and now he's gone!" Tony cried.
"Yes but I am still here and you are mine and you always will be." Gibbs assured.
Gibbs went back to tying his shoe when he finished Gibbs picked up Tony and carried his son back to the house. Tears streamed down his face he only knew Tony because of Jack and now he was gone. He also felt guilty for being so angry at his dad. In perspective bringing a girl to his granddaughter's funeral was nothing compared to abandoning and abusing an innocent child. Tony's dad was gone too but unlike Gibbs Tony wasn't stuck planning the funeral in fact Tony hadn't even gone to his dad's funeral despite his dad's lawyer pleading with Gibbs to bring him.
"I love you Tony remember that and if I ever do anything to hurt you please just tell me don't let it ruin our relationship." Gibbs whispered.
"I will never be mad at you Gibbs you are perfect." Tony replied.
Gibbs carried Tony the rest of the way home. When he arrived he found that Shannon had dinner ready. The family sat down to eat together.
"I miss Grandpa Jack." Maggie said.
"Me too." Tony replied.
"Me too" Jimmy added.
"I do too." Shannon replied.
"We all do" Gibbs finished.
That night Gibbs tucked Tony into bed and then took another walk this time he went alone and walked to the store. He walked around back to the stair-case up to the apartment. This was where Jack found Tony. He thought.
"Thanks dad I love that boy." Gibbs whispered.
