Paraguay's truth
Chapter 46th
Elizabeth and her husband David had gone downstairs to the gift store to pick out two really great cards for her husband Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Checking out a few of them. They were able to find the two perfect cards that will suit his mood.
Taking out her credit card to pay for the two cards, flowers and some beef jerky that he loves a great deal to be a real gift for him.
Meanwhile in his room the alert was going off indicating that Gibbs was beginning to wake with Taft and his nurse assistant were there checking on his vitals after bringing him from surgery. Everything was looking really well with his wounds from getting shot at the lake by the two snipers.
He had already spoken with Loreile after waking and her request. He had given to her with Loreile and her sister were putting together the gift.
Gibbs opened his eyes with pain. His throat was dry as with his chapped lips. And his first words were. "My wife how is she Cyril?" He said in a low tone...
"She's alive and well Gibbs. She is going to be here soon to visit in her wheelchair. It's the only way I will let her come here with being persistent with her request." Taft will have said with him going to check his shoulder first. "Listen this is going to hurt a bit with changing the bandage."
Gibbs had gotten himself ready for the shock of his body with the pain. Even though he was given a strong pain medication with his leg elevated with the shin.
Pulling the bandages off the wound was cleaned and with a solution that burn slightly. "OUCH! Gibbs said loudly enough when he will placed new bandages on the shoulder.
"Next is your shin Gibbs. I had to place new regeneration bone into placed. Your physical therapist will be here later to help you with some very light exercises. But in the meantime I will have Loreile brought in. Okay?" He said to his friend with taking off his glasses for a moment and cleaning them before placing them back on.
"I am ready Doc. However I don't know for how long. By the way did my team get those snipers?" He asked with a curiosity with his persona.
"They did Jethro. There two bodies are on the way to the Naval Yards and Doctor Palmer along with Ducky to do the autopsies."
"Good. Now will you please get my wife here?" He begged...
Some ten minutes later with Elizabeth behind the escort carrying the beg with the gifts inside. She wasn't allowed in with only Loreile. She was only helping out for the moment before giving her sister a kiss before going on home with her husband David.
Stopping in front of his private room. She gave her sister a kiss on her cheek and placed the gift bag into her lap before moving inside.
The escort was going to be back in 30 minutes as per requested. Gibbs opened his eyes with glee seeing her. "Hey! Yourself. Some start of a honeymoon my dear husband." She started to remove everything from the bag.
"What's all this Loreile?" He responded with a smile.
"Get well cards for you to open. Let's start with the flowers of course. I will place them in a small container. As she moved her wheelchair to the window cell.
"Thank you. I don't remember the last time a woman had given me flowers?" He joked slightly even though with a slight grimace.
"Well neither do I Jethro. Okay now to this gift it's a loveable teddybear to keep by yourside?" She said cryptic with her voice. She was getting excited with her heart racing with the last two cards. One was regular and the other with the news of her pregnancy.
"Really cute Loreile. I appreciate this greatly with this coming from your heart." His eyes were tearing slightly...
He read the card after pulling it out from the envelope. "Jesus this really hits a nerve Loreile."
"I know Jethro. And now for the last one my dear." She hands it to him with Gibbs pulling it out of the blue envelope with a little baby's picture on the front. However reading her words and the rest had him in total shock. "Really! What didn't you tell me earlier Loreile?"
"I just couldn't Jethro. Now that I hear your words I know you like the idea of being a father."
"Are you kidding I like the idea a great deal. After the death of Shannon and Kelly, I had never thought I would ever be a father ever again now that I am in my late sixties."
"Well it's happening Jethro." As she slowly gets up from the wheelchair to give him a passionate kiss.
