A/N : Thank you for all the reviews. I thought I should give you readers a little background information, so you get the story a little better.
Alison was Gibbs first wife, Gibbs divorced her for cheating on him while he was in the military. Gibbs got full custody of Andy and Arin, and Alison gave up all rights to seeing them when they divorced. Arin started working for NCIS when she was twenty-two, and worked there until she quit four years ago. Abby and Arin are good friends, and Andy and Abby went out for a while when Abby first started to work at NCIS. Arin now works in with the CIA in undercover operations.
Disclaimer: All that stuff in chapter one.

Gibbs stretched a little as he sat in his chair. The early morning sun was shining brightly through the window in the hospital room.
Ariona was the same as when he had gone to sleep, still, and quiet. The constant beep of the heart monitor reminding him that she was ok.
He stood up, stretching out his arms and legs. He quietly walked out of the room, and into the waiting room.
Ducky was wide-awake, and reading a National Geographic magazine. Abby was still asleep, but Andy was not in the waiting room. He walked up to Ducky and sat down beside him.
"Where'd Andy go?" he asked.
"Ah, he went down to get something to eat. You should go get something to eat, I don't remember you eating anything last night, and I'm sure you haven't eaten anything this morning."
"I'm fine, Arin needs me here." Gibbs replied.
"Jethro, I'm not going to let you starve yourself, Ariona will be alright, and you need to eat something."
"I'll get something to eat later Duck. I can't just leave her here." he said as he walked back toward Arin's room.
"Then at least call Andy to bring you back something, you'll be no use to Arin if you're passed out from food deprivation." he demanded.
"Fine. I'll be back in a few minutes." he said as he walked to the elevator.
As he walked out into the lobby he smelled the sweet smell of coffee, it smelled so good, that rich and vibrant smell.
How sweet that smell was, how soothing the thought of coffee was to his wrecked system.
As he was about to dial Andy's number, Andy walked through the large front glass doors, bringing with him a large bag and various cups.
"Hey Dad, I know you want this." Andy said as he walked up to Gibbs, handing him a warm cup of coffee.
He patted him on the back "Good boy." he said as they walked back to the elevator.
"Hey Duck, here's the biscuit that you wanted." Andy said as him and Gibbs walked into the waiting room.
"Thank you Andy, I'm sure once Abby smells all this food she'll wake-up." he said as he took the biscuit from Andy.
"I'm going to go sit with Arin, ok." said as he walked into her room.
"You think he's ok Duck?" asked Andy as he sat down.
"He'll be ok, Jethro just needs to know that she's all right." he answered reassuringly.
"Did he get a hold of Alison yet?"
"Yes, last night he called her and told her what was going on. I think her flight left France at about one in the morning, so she should be here soon."
"At least she's coming, I didn't think she would."
Abby started to stretch out a little in her chair.
"Good morning." Andy greeted Abby as she sat up in her chair.
"Good morning, I smell food." she said, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Ya, I went out and got some stuff, you want a biscuit or a donut?" Andy asked her.
"Donut, anything to drink?"
Andy handed her a donut, "Ya, your favorite." he said pulling out a 'Big Gulp'.
"Thanks Andy. So how's Arin going?"
"She's better," responded Ducky "The chances of her going into a coma are very slim at the moment, and her breathing is getting better."
"How's Gibbs holding up?"
"Now that Arin is doing better he seems to be feeling better. But he hasn't wanted to leave her."
"Do you think he'll be ok?" Abby asked, a little bit worried about Gibbs.
"Yes, he just needs to know that she's ok, he'll be back to normal in no time." Ducky responded reassuringly.
"Has he even come out of there?" asked Abby, still worried about Gibbs.
"Yes, a few times, Abby he's ok," Ducky said as he put his hand on her shoulder "He just has to work this out his own way. Just give him time."
"Thanks Duck. I'm just worried about Arin, and now Gibbs is acting funny. The few constants I have in my life are just falling away." she said as she played with the straw on her cup. "I just don't know what to do, the thought of Gibbs in such pain, and Arin fighting for her life. I guess I don't know what to do."
"Abbs, don't worried about Leroy," said Andy as he put his arm around Abby "He just needs some time to think. And as for Arin, she's already getting better, she'll get out of this ok."
"I'm glad I have friends like you, but Gibbs needs more support than I do. I think I'll go sit in there with him." Abby said as she stood up, and walked into Arin's room.
