The month Kate came back to life... well it all started on the day that Kate was buried. Kate's heart had not stopped even when she was shot. Even though the team was at a loss, someone had a gut feeling that she wasn't 'dead' so Gibbs told Ducky his theory. After lots of points he had made and results to back them up. Ducky sent part of the grave diggers from NCIS to get her body and when the found her... she had a small heartbeat, it was very faint but they could feel it. Gibbs thought before this Kate had never had an autopsy done for some reason and that he imagined her talking to him at the funeral. Gibbs had gone up to the squad room to tell everyone about what he had found out hoping it would make everyone happy.
"Everyone I have good news." Gibbs started off.
"Oh boy another crime scene..." Tony said excited. "Gear up boss?" "No... this is something even better." Everyone just stared at Gibbs confused.
" Kate's not dead, we recovered her body and she is now lying comatose in the hospital but with a near stable heart rate." Gibbs said watching everyones faces turn into shocked and Ziva wondering how.
Tony started to tear up and he grabbed his jacket and ran out to the parking lot and struggled to start his car.
Tony drove like a maniac to get to the hospital just to get to the woman he had not seen since the day they went on the terrorist attack just miles out of Norfolk.
When Tony arrived at the hospital he ran in breathing hard and panicing into Emergency.
"Special...Ag... sigh Caitlin Todd please... what room...I need to know...now!" Tony said panicing.
"Recovery, room 315A." The nurse said feeling sorry for Tony.
"Recovery?" Tony said confused.
"She just got out of surgery 1 hour ago sir." The nurse said to Tony who was wide eyed and scared.
Tony ran up the stairs and looked down each hall for even a number to direct him to her room. He found 313 and ran down the hall and found her room. Tony peered in and saw Kate laying there still and pale and her head wrapped. She had 3 different I.V's and she was intubated but could breathe on her own. He walked in and sat in a chair he placed beside her bed and stayed there... "Kate, I never thought I would say this but I want you to know that I love you and I will not leave your side. Everyday after work I will be here with you until you wake up." Tony said as he kissed her hand.
A nurse walked in to give Tony the details.
"Hello Mr. Dinozzo... during surgery there were some minor problems but doctors did what they could to keep her alive. To the best of their abilities they were able to fix some of the cells that were not so bad ... Agent Todd will be prone to severe headaches and migraines so we are advising that when she does awake she start taking her medicine." The nurse finished handing Tony her medications.
