Christmas Miracles
Chapter 14th
Just as the group was leaving this particular section of the damage. Gibbs felt something under neath him ...When he cried out "EVERYONE GET OUT NOW!"
Everyone ran quickly before another bomb had gone off exploding debris all over the place and including hitting McGee in the arm cutting slightly. Otherwise Special Jethro Gibbs was down with a severe concussion and debris down below his chest.
He cried out in pain. As McGee crawled over to him as with Torres and Lt. Brown getting on the horn to call for further fire trucks and mostly an ambulance for Gibbs. It had looked he was in bad shape from the explosion. His face was ashen as with blood seeping out from his head and his stomach.
Tim asked Torres to place something around his head and keep pressure on his stomach until helps arrives. Meanwhile Gibbs was coming around for a moment to say...With Torres, McGee and Lt. Brown to hear. "Tell Loreile I love her and that I am sorry about not being around for the second child." As he passes out with hearing the siren of the ambulance arriving on the dock and two technicians on the way to help.
"Boss if can hear me please don't talk like that. You're going to survive." McGee will say with his voice breaking and with this not happening with Christmas tomorrow.
"Someone will need to let Loreile and Vance know about the second bomb on the Kitty Hawk?" Nick will have replied with Lt. Brown gets the chance to call her even though he never really had an conversation with her.
Both the Medical technicians arrived with their equipment and connecting radio to contact the emergency room for assistant and with alerting the operating room and his primary care physician.

Loreile Gibbs was watching the news in regard to the second explosion on board the carrier Kitty Hawk. The reporters had shown the black smoke in the air with the fires being controlled. They had mention that an NCIS agent had been injured in the second blast with the family to be notified.
Right away her heart and blood pressure had gone up thinking that it might be bad news. When all of a sudden her cell phone had gone off to be one of Gibbs team members Lt. James Brown. She only barely had a few conversations with the man had replaced her husband while he was either on an operation or injured.
"Mrs. Gibbs this is Lt. James Brown of NCIS. I am sorry to inform you that your husband Special Agent Leroy Gibbs had been injured badly in the second explosion on board the Kitty Hawk. If you can come to the hospital we will need you there in case."
"He's died, Lt. Brown?" She will state cryptic with her words. "I will be there with my nanny to watch Shane in the nursery. I need to find a ride since I hate driving in the snow."
"Believe me I am really sorry about all this Mrs. Gibbs." He said with watching the medics played Gibbs on the stretcher with McGee to go along with his arm needing attention.
She hung up to call George across the street having to be Phineas adopted father. He has no problem with a truck and driving in this type of weather. "Sure no problem Loreile. Please get yourself ready and I will clean the truck to be ready to roll. Do you want Phineas to stay with Shane as company?"
"Please George." She ended the quick call with going upstairs to grab her things and to let Madeline know about Gibbs and with Phineas coming over to stay with Shane.
"Be good Ma'am and I hope all is going to be alright with Mr. Gibbs. It's too bad it had to happen prior to Christmas day." That had reminded her to bring a few gifts just in case is still alive and able to wake up. "I don't know just how long it's going to be Madeline with being at the hospital?"
"Don't worry about it Mrs. Gibbs. Everything is going to work out for the best." Madeline will have to say about with touching her pray beads around her neck.
Moments later she was ready to go with George coming inside with Phineas saying that he was very sorry for Jethro Gibbs being hurt in the explosion. He headed upstairs with his overnight go bag to stay and sleep in the nursery with the nine month old Shane.
Along the way she will be talking to George trying to concentrate on the road still very slick with the heavy snow and blowing, howling winds picking up. He had no problem in this kind of weather with the truck he was driving with the snow tires.
"I just can't help it George talking. I was hoping we would get through a Christmas without anyone getting hurt in the process. And here we are again my husband smack in the middle of a second bomb explosion. It seems that trouble will find him?" She asked with the statement.
"Look Loreile I don't know why you're worrying all that much with your primary care physician Doctor Taft and other specialists to be taking care of him?" He will slow down a bit with the traffic building with the red light.
"Because I worry too much about him and his dangerous job. I had the same situation for when I was married to my first husband David being a Navy Diver and being killed in the wreck accident to kill her and two others."
"You knew that his job was dangerous with Special Agent Gibbs. Why marry him?" He asked with the one loaded question.
"Because I loved him a great deal George." She stayed silent afterwards with seeing the hospital up ahead..."I will probably be staying in the hospital George. So you won't have to stay and wait for me."
"Fair enough Loreile. if and when you're ready. Please call me and I will come pick you up and bring you back home.
