Sessions
Chapter 32th
"Speaking of which Marcie. Once I am done here, do you think that I can talk with Jethro at the hospital before going into the operating room in a few days?" she needed to say thinking about her next two appointments that really all that important.
"Sure enough Doctor. He does need help badly. Even though he can't admit it to himself with the bad dreams and nightmares." Marcie needed to say to the doctor.
"Well in that case let me call my secretary to have her cancel the next two appointments due to a family emergency." She croaked out her response with a smirk on her face.
"You're getting bad as Jethro at times with his lies?" Marcie joked.
"Yeah, I know. " she was able to connect with her secretary Joanie working for her for the last ten years. "Joanie do me a favor and cancel my last two appointments. I will be talking with Special Agent Gibbs instead," she said.
"Actually Doctor I was about to call you about Doctor Evers cancelling her appointment at the clinic, while I have tried to contact the other due to being on vacation the past few weeks overseas."
"Thanks for telling me, Joanie. I will be back in my office sometime later after I am done talking to Gibbs," she responded.
After hanging up the phone Doctor Grace Confalone had packed up her briefcase to head out back to Bethesda hospital to speak with Gibbs. "Marcie, please try and take it easy with the pregnancy and the stress levels?" she was concerned.
"Of course Doc!" Marcie watched her move out of the house walking out into the cold for a brief moment. Afterward, she headed back inside the house to warm up with the fireplace needing another log.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs was bored out of his mind in spite of the fact he was going to having heart surgery in a few days. Even with the TV on he wasn't able to find anything worth watching except for the local news for ZNN. He had been sitting up in bed when all of a sudden there was a knock on his door before Doctor Confalone walked in.
"Hey, Doc! It's nice to see you here?" he croaked out with his response.
"Gibbs, you can't fool me with it's nice to see you type of response?" She came over to grab a chair with her briefcase on the side of her.
"What's going on that you're pulling up that chair?" Gibbs was curious as to the nature of her visit.
"I heard from a little birdie that you're been having very bad dreams and nightmares once again and I thought it was going to be a good time to talk about it with me canceling two patients to give ourselves time to discuss it?" she exclaimed with pulling out the notepad and pen keeping it on her lap.
"I know who that little birdie is Doc and besides it will give me something to do instead of being bored in the first place?" Gibbs noted with his words and some slight sarcasm.
"So tell me Gibbs about the dreams once again?" she waited with watching him with taking a deep breath to release some of the stress happening with his body.
"They are mostly sexual in nature Doc for when I was in Paraguay those three times I was there with the last time having me land in the hospital for two months recovering from the severity of the injuries."
"Does it have to do with Hernandez and Alejandro Riveria once again Gibbs?" she was concerned since she had discussed this a few times with him.
"Yeah," Gibbs says to her with a grimace of pain on his face.
"Are you concerned about you and your wife Marcie once you're released from the hospital after having the surgery to have the left side heart valve changed?" she shifted with her one leg due to the circulation.
"I will have to say yes to the question Doctor and having to worry about my sexual activities and including when I will be able to go back to work and cutting back part-time with my activities." he cried out with a deep breath.
"And what makes you think that you're not going to be able to have sex with your wife?" she coyed with him for when it comes to the importance of the question.
"I really don't know anymore since the doctors had told me that I need to slow down with my activities. However, they didn't say that I had to stop having sex altogether?" he exclaimed with punching the side of his bed out of sheer frustration.
"Listen, Gibbs, you're been needing to slow down for the past few years. Your team is very capable to take over while you decide once again your options. You did say about the options that Vance had given to you?" Doctor Confalone needed to say to the agent confused.
"I want to work the Acamedy and Gun range. It just takes time for me and my stubborn brain to get used to the idea that I won't be working with the team any longer. It's been so strange these past four-plus months with the suspension never realizing just what exacting I was missing."
"And what exactly have you been missing Gibbs?"
"Love, romance, having a child even though I know that Kelly is still alive living in Orlando, Florida with her husband and my two grandchildren both boys. And then there is the freedom of doing things with Marcie instead of getting up so early to go to work every day with the same shit I have to endure." he cried out with his response.
"Speaking of love and romance. You do know that you've had the chance with Jacqueline Sloane only to be too late with her leaving for overseas? I am just glad that love and romance were found in the body of one Marcie Warren now your wife after three months?" she exclaimed to have Gibbs smiling...
