Christmas Miracles
Chapter 25th
"Doctor Sterling what are you trying to get at with the question?" Gibbs was on the defensive.
"Look Special Agent Gibbs I know you're still recovering with your injuries. But you must face the ramifications of your actions with going against Director Vance orders to stay together with the team and to go off with a known mole."
"I know this Doctor Sterling. However I didn't know whether that I was going to get caught into the first place. Only to have Rollins knock me out with the knockout potion." He needed to take a deep breath with the outburst.
"Yeah and to come back in horrible shape with your life needing to be saved by the doctors coming along for the flight as if they knew this was going to happened?" He cried out at the patient in front of him.
"Are you serious doctor? I came back with losing my self respect, being humiliated and most of all having my penis partially cut off by the bastard. And now my wife told me that she was going to stand by me until we know that I am able to perform for her in bed."
"Is this so important for you now Agent Gibbs when your body needs to heal. You're god damn lucky that their wasn't any brain damage or memory lost like the last time and years ago. I did read your file dating way back to when you were a marine and to where your wife Shannon and Kelly were murdered."
"Don't you dare bring this into the session Doctor Sterling. I loved my wife Shannon and Kelly. But when they were murder I had lost all disrespect for my own self and wanting to shoot myself because of it."
"Then why didn't you, Special Agent Gibbs?" Doctor Sterling needed to ask with getting to know this man better.
"Because I couldn't Doctor. I had the energy to stop myself with shooting myself and I continue on the best I could with joining NIS and meeting Mike Franks."
"I read in file on what happened to him. It was just too bad that he had to be killed by the terrorist."
"Can we talk about something else Doctor?" Gibbs was getting annoyed with the doctor.
"Okay Special Agent Gibbs. Tell me about some of your hobbies that you like to do when your not working?" He shifted in his seat...
"Jesus! Since I have been married to Lt. Loreile Baskins. I don't as much work in the basement with a beautiful woman like herself. We communicate a great deal in many shapes and forms. We like to target practice at the gun range, swim, jog, watch movies, we like to gambit, shop and most of all take care of Shane. Well in my case with the Christmas season I had to miss my Son's first Christmas."
"It couldn't be helped with all this snow the tristate area received. Did your son get a chance to play in the snow at all?"
"Actually he did with our neighbor Phineas having been working on building a snowman. Otherwise I am glad in a way the snow has stopped and they will be able to finish it."
"I hope so." Gibbs said with a pride on his expression.
"I understand you're going to have another child?" He asked the question to have Gibbs expression change slightly.
"Yes, we are and I hope to god to try again if and when I am able to Doctor Sterling. Since we discuss this amount at the time I had asked Loreile to married me. "Do you have any children Doctor?"
"Two a boy age 23 and a girl 22 entering into the Navy here at the Naval yards. She is going to be serving on the U.S.S. Dexter leaving for the Gulf in three weeks. My son Sean is in California in the Marines at Pendleton and will be deploy within the month to Iraq."
"Wow Doc! You sure do have your hands full with a marine and naval officer in your family. Do you regret that they could of become something else?"
"No Special Agent Gibbs. I am very proud of the both of them as with my wife Pamela also an ex marine officer." He stayed quiet for a few moments before asking further questions with the session. It had felt good to be talking like this...
"As for myself. My father hated the idea to have me join the marines. Even though my parents were always fighting right up to the day she died. And my father's friend and partner A.J. Moore not talking for over 30 years until I was able to get them together to make up."
"I understand your father died from a stroke unable to be around when Director Vance called you into his office to tell you?"
"Yes, that's right and I decided to go back to work afterwards against everyone's advice. What else is on your mind Doctor?" Gibbs was annoyed and needed a short break with some water.
"There is a few more before I decide to end this session." He stated with needing water as well with his throat dry. After a few moments he began to start again with the questions. "If you had to do it all over again with making the decision to go to Paraguay would you, Special Agent Gibbs?"
"In a heartbeat doctor. However if I knew that Rollins wasn't a mole. I would of done it differently with trying to captured Hernandez. But instead it was the opposite way around Doctor with being knocked out by the potion."
"So you endangered your entire NCIS team because of your gut feeling?" He quipped with needing to move with grabbing the remote to raise his head higher. "That's better." He replied to the doctor anxious to continue on with the session.
