The best and the worst of times

Chapter 40

Matter in fact SPECIAL AGENT GIBBS was released the very next day with Loreile to be there for his released. She needed to be sure that Doctor Cyril Taft and the others were sure that their patient will be fine with going home.

Doctor Cyril Taft was thrilled with his patient's progress in such a short period of time. Bringing in the usual wheelchair to bring Gibbs downstairs with his wife and personal belongings.

Taking the elevator downstairs with everyone quiet for the trip. Gibbs was told that an ambulance was going to be driving him home as per request by the doctor and an $800.00 ride to be paid by the NCIS insurance. Loreile will be able to sit in front while her husband will be in the back with the other technician.

She had come by cab inside of driving making it hard on her with the pregnancy. At the house friends from NCIS will be waiting for a small party with Pizza having been ordered. Even Director Leon Vance and his girlfriend Melissa will be there with staying only a short time.

Meanwhile, the medical technician had been checking Gibbs's vitals while they were on the way to his house in Alexandria, Virginia.

They were somewhat off tilting slightly with the excitement of the ride. Though he will be settled down once he's home and relaxing on his couch.

Pulling up to the front of the house. loreile was able to step down from the ambulance to wait. While their guests were waiting inside to surprise Gibbs.

Walking up into the living room using his walker or cane for now. When there was a choir of cheers with their famous agent finally home.

"Now this is nice to see with my friends here and caring. This wasn't an easy thing for me everyone," he said with Vance coming up to shake his hand and then a warm hug. As with McGee and Torres doing the same with their boss.

Sitting down on the couch with Torres and McGee. While Vance was sitting in a small chair. Loreile and the ladies were placing the pizza slices onto the table and drinks.

"Come and get it, everyone?" Loreile hollered out.

Gibbs was able to get up with help from McGee. "Thanks, Tim," he said with a grimacing smile even though no one really noticed.

The cheese, mushroom, and onion were really good with everyone able to have two slices each. Loreile was happy that her husband was having a good time. Even though she needed to be sure he will be in bed as well. The one thing that has been on his mind.

Elle was able to show the latest photo of their son Dane to Gibbs who was thrilled to see the little boy growing at leaps and bounds.

"Elle what have you been feeding the baby?" he said with a smile drinking his black coffee. Something he's allowed to have maybe once a day. Unlike for when he's working at NCIS.
