The beginnings of a new life

Chapter 99th

Ann stopped at the entrance of the waiting room doors with her friends inside. She had her heart now in her throat with having to be nervous as hell to greet them all of the sudden.

Taking in a deep breath with the lungs she was now ready to head inside to see them sitting and standing at the same time and including Sergeant Hillary Madden.

This is the one woman that she hated the most ever since her husband had hooked up with months ago. Even though it had ended quickly.

"Thank god you're here Ann!" Julies had to say with hugging the Colonel's friend and commanding officer. "How was the flight altogether?"

"I must tell you the flight wasn't bad at all with the pilot always watching out for me while we were heading here. And here I thought it was going to be a horrible ride for me in general." she commented. "How is it going with my husband's surgery?" she needed to asked.

"He's out of surgery and will be moving soon to ICU." Tiffany had to say with the question as Ann was looking at the woman talking.

"Did the doctor come out to say anything Julies?" she directed the question to him instead.

"Doctor Goodman came out to say that the surgery went well. Even though they will need to keep an eye out on the Colonel for any type of infection, temperature of anything other issues that might arises." Julies said with confidence..."Are you hungry Ann or need anything to drink?"

"Oh, god yes Julies! I am hungry and thirsty as well. I will give you the money for everything." she said...

"Nonsense! It's my treat. Hillary you're coming with me while the others will be keeping her company."

"Thank you, Julies for everything." she says with sitting down on the green chair to relax and wait it out.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs after greeting there two boys with the celebration of being home. Loreile and Alicia had a slight problem with getting them to bed after staying up during the evening waiting for their parents.

Shane and Nathan had gone crazy seeing his father walking into the house as with their mother. However Loreile had to be stern with them once Nathan and Shane were done kissing them in order to get them ready for sleep. Even though Alicia had problems with getting them to bed earlier. But instead they wanted to stay up for them.

After this great chore was done. Loreile had gone to bed since her husband was restless and wanted to head for the basement to work. He had given a timeframe for himself with heading back upstairs to sleep.

He mainly cleaned up the floor along with putting some of his tools into order inside the two main tool boxes that he had for a very long time...One broken item for which he had no item where it had come from. He had thrown it into the pail for now.

Checking his boat for a few moments all around along with stepping up to get inside since it was almost finished to go into the waters. It was supposed to be a gift for Director Leon Vance.

Being tired as it was for the most part. He laid down on the board for which he used to do over the years and always felt like a pretzel waking when his team will call for a case.

Closing his eyes with placing his robe under his head with wearing only his sweat pants.

Loreile had woke later after falling asleep in bed after checking on Shane and Nathan. She knew that she had done the right thing with sending them to bed.

Looking at the time it was seven o'clock with only being home five hours. She had noticed that her husband's side of the bed was cold knowing that he had never come to bed. So she had decided to head for the basement as always being his second home.

Placing on her purple robe and same color slippers. She headed downstairs with feeling the chill inside the house. Jesus she was cold. She didn't know how her husband was able to sleep in this type of chill especially in the basement?

Turning on the living room lights. He had lift on the kitchen lights in order to see down to the basement with breaking their neck.

Taking her time down the steps with holding on to the rail. She didn't see him until looking at the pail. There was all types of garage that he had placed inside.

Otherwise she climbed the steps to see her husband on his back with his robe posing as a pillow, while there was nothing covering him with wearing only his grey sweatpants.

She called out to him.. "Jethro! Come on already wake up?" she said with him snapping awake quickly before realizing he was cold and when he tried to moved up. "OUCH! HE SAID WITH A I TOLD YOU SO." Coming from his wife..

"Jesus! It was stupid of me for having to fallen asleep like this?" he commented with Loreile slowly helping him up with his back a real mess along with other parts of his body.

"We are going to get you upstairs to bed for where I will give you your pain medication given by Taft. I will be sure to not let the boy to come in and bother you while you're resting?"

"Again you're doing it again Loreile? However I won't say any more right now until I am able to think straight." he said with climbing down the steps with help and with Loreile grabbing his robe with placing it on him. "Thanks." he responded with a crooked smile before moving towards the steps with his back hurting and his legs with getting up the steps. He had felt like a 100 year old man right now.

While Loreile was holding back a chuckle at the sight of her handsome silver fox.
