Dark Void

Chapter 21th

"Come on Jethro you're going to be alright. I need for you to sit up while I get move to get some water for you to drink." She watched him obey her order with moving up to be against the headboard.

While she needed to get two glasses of water from downstairs with taking her time with the stairs. She was worried that her husband was going to be having a relapse with his mental state. She thought it would be a good time to really talk instead of replacing it with the sex act. It wasn't all that important as compared to her husband's over all general health both mentally and spiritually.

She had gotten the bottles of water from the fridge to bring them back upstairs. While she was walking up the stairs the baby inside her was active and she had hoped that their son will head back to sleep again. She really didn't need to stay up all night.

When she reached the bedroom he was feeling better with sitting up with wearing only his sweatpants. While the silverfox was showing more so with his chest hairs and his head for the most part.

"Here you go Jethro. Please drink the water while I have some myself. I think it's best that you don't attend the operation tomorrow night. You don't know what type of reaction you're going to be having with Hernandez." She was stern with her superior demeanor for when it comes to husband."

"Oh! No way in hell I won't be going Loreile. I just need to be doing this with trying to catch the the madman or else I will really be losing myself into all of the dreams, nightmares and visions I had over the years talking to dead people to cope with my overall sanity." He will cry out at her while taking the bottle of water to drink.

"That's nonsense Jethro! The only way your going to lose your sanity is when you want to lose yourself forever and don't wish to cope with your life after all of the hurt and pain you have suffered over the years. Let's begin with your mother and Father. Ann was dying of breast cancer and with the help of your father's friend L.J. Moore helped with Ann killing herself. And all this nightmare didn't be realized until you had the guts to have your father talked it out with him about it."

"However Loreile, you forgot that there was a thirty year gap that I finally was able to talk with my father due to my entering into the marines. Along with meeting Shannon Fielding at the train station."

"Yes I know Jethro it was an domino effect after what had happened to your mother. The deaths of Shannon and Kelly as with later on with Diane being shot with you holding her body while she had bled out. And of course running into the Russian murderer with Fornell's help and eventually shooting him in the head with one shot."

"Tell me something Loriele why are you bringing this all up now and especially telling me I can't go tomorrow at the train depot?" He was now angry after earlier he was crying.

"What is going on Jethro? The reason I am asking you these questions is to make you realize what is happening to you." She will say strongly with trying to make her husband understand what is wrong.

"Look I still don't understand why it's happening with all of these nightmares, dreams and visions. I do know that I need to keep my sanity together. Though I had conversations over the years with Frank, Diane and one other that I am barely able to remember." He will say as if he was confused.

"Actually there were two others Jethro to be Shannon and your eight year old daughter and for which you loved a great deal. I know it was hard to lose them both. However you will need to stop doing it or you will really lose yourself into a giant black void that we had discuss early on in our relationship."

"I just don't know how to do it Loreile with getting rid of my demons?" He begged sorta.

"Like I said you need to speak with Doctor Grace and Doctor Anthony Sterling taking over for Sloane."

"That QUACK? I really don't know how he become a Forensic Psychologist?" He will respond with finishing up his bottle of cold water.

She screams out at him not enough to wake up the neighbors nor the two F.B.I. agents protecting them outside across the street. "YES THAT QUACK LEROY JETHRO GIBBS! I need to calm myself down with the baby or rather this bowling ball is very active this evening." She will chuckle slightly as with her husband taking her into his arms to touch the baby with his firm hands.

"I am sorry for causing you stress. I just this wished that the entire affair happened with Jose Juan Hernandez and his entire damn family?" He was making her further upset...

"Stop it already! I need to sit outside for a little while before making dinner. I need for you to call Doctor Grace and see if she will have a telephone session with you." She had gotten up from the bed placing on her robe, slippers and than light jacket to sit on the small couch on the front porch.

There was a slight bite to the air for the evening. She had noticed across the street the Blue SUV with the agents from the F.B.I.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs grabbed his cell phone from his coat pocket to dial the number bringing it up onto the screen...

Doctor Grace working at home this evening while her husband was making dinner for a change with Italian Meatballs. She was in the library reading patients files catching up on those that she is going to be seeing within the next few days.

When her cell phone was going off on the small table next to her checking to see it was Gibbs calling. She had wondered since Leon had mention that he had taken Loreile to his hometown.

"Hey Popeye what's brewing?" She will asked as a joke after all this time.

"Plenty Doc! I need your help badly. I suffered a slight break down with Loreile in my hometown and I need to talk with you about it."

"Ok, I will listen while you talk." She stated with his mental condition the way it was lately...
