There's you go! I've added two chapters together to make it longer, I hope you understand it cos it jumps pretty quickly.
"Hey Gibbs…….I don't know if you can hear me or not. The Doctors aren't sure if you can cos of the severity of your head injuries but I think you can. You're always listening. Don't worry about Tony and McGee, just broken bones. Me and Ducky'll look after them for you until you wake up. The doctors aren't sure about that either but you have to wake up cos who will keep Tony in line?"
Abby wiped a mascara stained tear away from her cheek. "I always said your driving was dangerous and that one day you'd seriously hurt yourself. I had a dream about it the other night. You drove straight into a tree and then there was blood. Just like the dream I had before Kate was killed" Abby looked up startled as the door flung open to the hospital room. It was Ducky.
"Sorry to interrupt Abigail but young Anthony is awake and is asking for you" Abby nodded.
"Can you stay with him? I don't want him to be alone tonight"
"Of course I will. I have a lot to discuss with him," Abby laughed through her tears.
"Finally someone for you to talk to who won't fall asleep on you" Ducky ignored the comment. "I'll come back up when Tony goes to sleep" Ducky nodded solemnly and watched Abby slip out of the room quietly.
"How's the team?" Gibbs asked after being filled in from everything from the crash to his coma. Abby had made herself at home at the end of Gibbs' bed, resting her heavy booted feet to one side of the bed's occupant.
"All's well" She shrugged nonchalantly.
"Be a little bit more specific Abs" Gibbs growled.
"Wow, you're getting your sunny temperament back quickly"
"Abs!"
"They're fine Gibbs what do you want me to say? Ducky is fine, McGee is fine, Tony is fine, Ziva is no longer on the team and Palmer is less green"
"Okay"
"Okay?"
"As soon as I'm fit I'm getting out of here"
"As I suspected"
"I just want to get back to work" Abbey opened her mouth to speak but her cell phone rang from her jacket pocket. "You know you're not supposed to have them on in here"
"Shhh" Abbey flipped open the phone and answered. "Abbey Sciuto, Forensic Scientist extraordinaire!...an ID?...well the tests won't be ready for another twelve hours….I can be back in twenty minutes…" Abby looked over at Gibbs "…He's glaring a lot…okay, see you then" Abby closed the phone. "I have to go, I promise I'll be back later and I promise I'll bring company" Gibbs smiled.
"Good, cos I'm bored as hell in this prison"
"You know he's coming in tomorrow" Tony didn't reply to Abby's comment. They were sitting in her lab eating Chinese after a long day working that hadn't ended yet. Halfway through Tony's bite, Abby stole his Kung Po chicken and handed him her Chicken Chow Mein. He glared at her but didn't say anything. "Director Shepard wants to get him back at work as soon as possible" Again, Tony said nothing. "He was in the hospital for nearly a month and has been home for two weeks. Ducky's gone to see him, McGee's gone to see him, hell even Palmer went to see him yet you have refused to seem him"
"Hey!" Tony replied, pointing his chopsticks at Abby "You've been enough for both of us. He sees more of you that I do now and we live together!" Abby smiled.
"Now whose fault is that?" Tony looked confused.
"It's my fault that we live together?"
"Technically yes but I was referring to us not seeing enough of each other Tony"
"Can I have my Kung Po back?" Abby ignored his request.
"He's pissed at you"
"He's always pissed at me"
"That's not true!" Abby defended. Tony placed his box down on the silver layout table and leaned in towards Abby.
"Since the day he hired me Abs, I never got a "good job DiNozzo!" let alone a "at least you didn't screw up this time DiNozzo!""
"He thinks you're pissed at him"
"I am pissed at him" He stated with a shrug of his shoulders, leaning back into his chair
"Tony"
"I am pissed at him!" His voice rose slightly.
"Why?" Tony shrugged. "You know, he really does like you. He told me the other day"
"I know" Tony did know that. Even though Gibbs had never openly complimented his work he knew that if his work wasn't up to scratch then Gibbs would have fired him.
"He said you were the best investigator he's ever worked with"
"Now you're just making things up" Tony picked his Chinese back up only to have Abby switch the food again.
"Is it working?" Abby asked with one eyebrow raised
"You mean am I going to speak to him when he shows up tomorrow?" Abby nodded. "The only thing I can promise you is that I won't hit him"
"What a compromise" Abby remarked sarcastically. Tony grabbed the edge of her chair and Abby shrieked as Tony pulled the chair towards him.
"Maybe you could put me in a good mood for tomorrow," Tony murmured in her ear, making her smile.
"That I can do" She replied as he cupped the back of her neck gently and brought her in for a deep kiss.
