A/N: Ok, here's the next chapter to my story. It might be a while until I get the next chapter written, I have a really bad writers block at the moment. Hope you like this chapter, and Kate and Tony will be in either the next chapter or the one after that.
Disclaimer: All of that is on the first chapter.

"Hey," Gibbs said softly as he walked into Ariona's hospital room, "How you feeling?"
"Like I just got hit by car," she said weakly, a small smile on her face despite her discomfort.
"You scared me, the doctors thought you wouldn't live through last night," he said as he sat down on the end of the bed.
"I'll try not to get hit by anymore cars." she said as she tried to sit up, but gasped in pain from the strain.
"Sweetie, you ok?" Gibbs asked as he tried to help her.
"No," she said almost breathlessly, "It hurts so bad to breath."
"You punctured a lung when that car hit you, you're going to have to take it easy for a few days honey."
"How long have I been in the hospital?" she asked.
"Last night and all of today, and your going to be in here for at least another three days."
"You just get off work?"
"No, I've been here all day." his answer surprised her a little.
"You were here all day long?" she asked, wondering if he really took a whole day off of work just to be with her when she wasn't even awake.
"Yeah, me, Andy, Duck, and Abby."
"Abby and Ducky are here?"
"They've been here since last night, we were all really worried about you."
"Why did you take the whole day off of work to be with me?"
"Sweetie, I love you and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. You mean more to me than you will ever know, I didn't want to be at work instead of being here with you," he said as he picked up her hand and gave it tight squeeze.
"Thanks Dad," she said as tears pulled at her eyes, "Just for being here. I love you to." as she said the last part, a tear dripped down her cheek, more following that one.
Before Gibbs knew it he was holding her, and comforting her, both crying on one another's shoulder.
She seemed so small, and broken in his arms, like a little child, so fragile and weak.
He slowly let her go as she stopped crying, helping her to lie back down on the bed.
"There, now why don't you get some sleep." Gibbs offered as she settled back down.
"Ok, but can I talk to Andy first?"
"Yeah, I'll go get him." he said as he stood up and walked out of the room.
"Andy," Gibbs called out as he entered the waiting room, "Arin wants to talk to you."
"Ok," said Andy as stood up and headed for her room, "Thanks."
A/N: Please review, it really does help me know what you think, if you like a part of it, tell me, if you don't like a part of it, then tell me that to. I can't become a better writer if no one corrects me.
