Every muscle in Tony's body was killing him. It was only the first day and he was already sick of the rehab hospital. He just wanted to be home with Gibbs. Eating real food, sleeping when he wanted, and doing what he wanted to do. Of course when he was home, he would still have to have outpatient physical therapy but at least that would only be two or three days a week for an hour and a half to two hours and whatever Gibbs made him do to get his strength back. Gibbs, he wondered if his boss would actually be more of a hard-ass now that he knew that, he was his son. He felt a swift slap to the back of his head and looked up to see Gibbs standing over him.
"I am not a hard-ass! I just expect the best, especially from my boy." Gibbs barked.
"Ow, how did you know about that? I thought it!" Tony questioned.
"Because I know you." Gibbs replied.
"That's a little creepy." Tony sighed.
"You'll get it when you have kids." Gibbs replied.
"I'll take your word for it." Tony replied picking up the remote and turning on the TV.
"I didn't just come here to creep you out you know." Gibbs commented.
"Oh yeah? Why are you here then?" Tony asked.
"I just got a call from Ducky." Gibbs started.
"Everything OK?" Tony asked.
"Yeah, Breena had her baby." Gibbs replied.
"She did?" Tony asked.
"Yeah a boy uh seven pounds four point five ounces and nineteen inches long. His name is James Douglas Palmer Junior. According to Ducky he looks just like Jimmy." Gibbs explained.
"Everything go OK?" Tony asked.
"The baby is OK but Breena is having some issues." Gibbs replied.
"Oh no what's wrong?" Tony asked.
"She is just having a lot of pain and really worn out." Gibbs replied.
"Well I hope that she will be OK." Tony replied.
"She should be." Gibbs assured.
"You think they will spring me long enough to see her?" Tony asked.
"I'll see what I can do." Gibbs replied.
"Thanks dad" Tony replied.
"It's no problem but if I do get you out of here. I want you to work extra hard tomorrow." Gibbs bartered.
"But today already almost killed me." Tony sighed.
"Too bad I want you back in fighting shape even if you can't or don't chose to work for NCIS anymore." Gibbs explained.
"Fine" Tony groaned.
"That's my boy." Gibbs replied rubbing Tony's head before turning to leave the room.
Breena looked down at her son who was sleeping in her arms. All she wanted was for Jimmy to be there beside her. Instead Ducky was asleep in the chair beside her. Ed had left to call the rest of the family back in Florida about the new arrival. At least the psycho's who had taken Jimmy from her were dead and in jail. So she didn't have to worry about anybody trying to kill the baby. She shifted slightly and winced in pain. The doctors had assured her that it was normal and that she would start feeling better soon. Secretly she wished that she had just bled out and could be with Jimmy again even though that would leave little Jimmy an orphan.
"Breena?" Ducky called waking from his nap.
"What is it, Ducky?" Breena asked.
"How are you feeling?" Ducky asked.
"I am still really hurting but I feel a little better." Breena explained.
"That is good to hear." Ducky replied.
"Ducky can I ask you something, kind of uh not OK." Breena questioned.
"Of course, anything." Ducky replied.
"Is it bad that I wish that it was worse?" Breena asked.
"Wish that what was worse?" Ducky asked.
"My problems. I love this baby but I wish they were bad enough to kill me. So that I could be with Jimmy again." Breena explained.
"Oh Breena" Ducky whispered.
"I know I am the worst." Breena sobbed.
"No Breena you are not the worst you are depressed. Now you will never get over losing Jimmy but over time you will heal and you will be glad to be alive and well with your son." Ducky explained.
"Are you sure?" Breena asked.
"That is what Leon told me and Jethro well even though his circumstances are very different he agreed with that statement." Ducky explained.
"OK" Breena replied.
"Are you feeling up to visitors?" Ducky asked.
"Kinda, not really, no" Breena replied.
"Alright Jethro was going to come by but I will call him and let him know not to. I am just glad that they wouldn't let Anthony leave." Ducky explained.
"Well if he is already on his way." Breena replied.
"Don't worry about it. I am sure he will understand." Ducky assured.
Gibbs was on the way to the hospital when he got the news that Breena was not up for visitors. After hanging up with Ducky, he dialed Leon's number and asked him if he wanted to meet at the diner. Leon agreed. He just had to drop Jared off at soccer practice. Gibbs was at the diner for about ten minutes when Leon arrived. Kayla was with him but she took her purse and sat down the counter from them. Leon took the seat at closet to the far right of the counter. Gibbs looked at his friend and then back at the teenager sitting at the opposite ends of the counter. Then back at his friend.
"She OK?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah I asked her to sit away from us." Vance replied.
"Why did you bring her then?" Gibbs asked.
"She was already in the car with me when I got the call and I didn't feel like driving her all the way home." Vance explained.
"OK, so what's the big secret Kayla can't hear?" Gibbs asked.
"We have a pretty major problem, Jethro." Vance replied.
A/N: Just when things were finally settling down. Any ideas on what the major problem is? New chapter will be up soon. Sorry for not updating more this weekend. My youth group went on a day trip and I didn't feel like dragging my laptop along. I was going to update when I got home but when my mom picked me up, I found out we had to go out for my grandpa's birthday and I didn't feel like writing when we got home. Sorry for rambling anyway please review and thanks for reading.
