It had been twelve hours since Alison had been at the hospital. The late evening's dark blue color was soothing as Gibbs sat in Ariona's hospital room.
Abby, Ducky, and Andy had all went off to dinner. But he couldn't leave her there alone, he couldn't stand the thought of something happening to her and him not be there.
Even after the doctors had told him that she would be fine and that she was perfectly stable, he could bare to leave her side, even if it was just for an hour for dinner.
Ducky had told him that he would bring something back for him, so he wasn't worried about not eating.
He picked up the cup of coffee and took a large sip from it and finished it off, 'Number eight.' he thought as he threw the empty cup in the garbage.
Memories from when Ariona was a little girl flooded through his brain.
"Daddy look, me and Andy made you coffee for Fathers day." a very young Arin announced as her and Andy walked into the living room.
"Really, what kind of coffee did you make?" he asked as the two sat down beside him on the couch.
"Really good coffee," said Arin as she handed him the cup, "Andy said so." She whispered the next part, "I made Andy try it before we gave it to you."
"Well, if Andy says its good it must be the best." he said as he took a small sip of the concoction his children had made him. "Um, that's great coffee."
Arin elbowed Andy in the side, "I told you he'd like it."
"Thank you very much for the coffee." he said as he set the cup on the table beside the couch.
"Your welcome Daddy," said Arin as she hugged him, "We love you."
He remember most of her the when she was a little girl, the time he had spent with her and Andy when they were little children.
He had watched her when she was just a baby crawl around on the floor, and when she was little girl and would brag about being Daddy's little girl. He remembered her be the best soccer player on her high school team, and her first date. He remembered being so proud of her when she graduated high school, and then college.
She had grown up so fast, from a little girl with her Daddy's eyes, to the grown woman with deep blue eyes that dug into your soul with just a passing glance.
He slowly stood up and walked over to the window, the beautiful dark blue's and purple's of the sky painted a sweet picture in the distance.
He stood there for a while, just looking at the colors of the sky, and thinking about the things in his life.
"Dad," came a weak voice from behind him.
"Arin," he said as he sat back down beside her, "How you feeling?"
She drew in deep breath, but stopped when the pain from her ribs ran through her body, "What happened?" she asked weakly.
"You got hit by a car," he said as he picked up her hand, "What hurts?"
"My ribs when I breathe," she said, weakly trying to take a deep breath, "And my head hurts really bad."
"I'm going to go get a nurse, ok. I'll be right back," he said as he walked out into the hallway, quickly finding a nurse.
As Gibbs and the nurse got back to Arin's room the nurse said, "Mr. Gibbs, you're going to have to wait out side for a moment." she said as she closed the door.
He knew that Ariona was going to be fine, but not being around her scared him. He didn't want to be anywhere else but in they're with her, making sure she all right, and that she's safe.
"Gibbs, what are you doing out here?" asked Abby as she walked up to Gibbs.
"Arin woke up, the nurse is looking at her right now."
"That's great Gibbs, was she feeling ok?"
"She said it hurt to breath, but that's from her ribs. She didn't me anything else."
"Who didn't tell you anything else?" questioned Andy as he walked in with Ducky.
"Arin woke up," said Abby as she took a bag from Ducky, "Gibbs, here we brought you some dinner." she offered him the bag.
"I'm not that hungry Abby," he said as he sat down in one of the waiting room chairs.
"Is she ok?" Andy asked.
"She's ok, her ribs are hurting her." Gibbs answered.
"Jethro, she'll be ok, but now you need to eat. You've only been drinking coffee all day, and you hardly had anything for lunch." said Ducky as he handed him the bag.
"Duck, really I'm fine."
"Jethro, just eat something."
Gibbs took the bag and pulled out a piece of bread and took a bite, "There, I'm eating something."
"Mr. Gibbs." the nurse called form the hallway, "You can go see Ariona now."
Gibbs quickly got up from of his seat, and walked back into Arin's room.
