Gibbs wanted to scream. Why was it always Tony? Couldn't the universe cut him a little slack now that he had Sadie? Why could he not even get in an innocent pillow fight without getting in trouble? What the hell was wrong now? How could he not have noticed that his son had asthma? Had he done this to Tony? He took a deep breath and followed Dr. Pitt down the hall to his office. Hoping that he wasn't shaking violently enough to concern anybody. By the time he fell into the chair across from Dr. Pitt's he was gasping for breath and had almost vomited three times during the walk.

"Agent Gibbs are you alright?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"What is wrong with my boy?" Gibbs asked.

"I first want to say that we will have to run a few further tests before I can offer a diagnosis but Tony's blood-work shows an increase in white blood cells." Dr. Pitt explained.

"What the hell does that mean?!" Gibbs demanded.

"I really hate to tell you this Agent Gibbs but Tony might have leukemia" Dr Pitt replied.

"That's cancer. My boy can't have cancer. He just can't." Gibbs stuttered.

"We will have to perform a bone marrow biopsy and some more blood-work before we know for sure but right now that's what it looks like." Dr. Pitt explained.

"I can't lose another one." Gibbs whispered.

"Well the good news is that if Tony does have leukemia it is ALL Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Which is very treatable and has an excellent survival rate around eighty-five percent. Of course with his history of the plague. His chances will be slightly lower but if he has you by his side giving him direct orders to live. I am sure that he will come through just fine." Dr. Pitt explained.

"He really has to get better now. I will make the orders stronger and the slaps harder. Because now Tony has a little girl." Gibbs replied.

"Tony didn't tell me that he had a daughter the last time I saw him." Dr. Pitt observed.

"He only found out a few weeks ago." Gibbs explained.

"Is he raising her?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"Yes Tony is raising Sadie his self. With my help of course." Gibbs replied.

"How old is she do you have pictures?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"Two and of course I do." Gibbs replied withdrawing his phone from his pocket.

"Aw she's cute." Dr. Pitt commented.

"She is and she needs her daddy." Gibbs replied.

"I really hope that I am wrong." Dr. Pitt sighed.

"Me too I can't see him that sick." Gibbs replied.

"Do you need some time alone?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"No I need my boy I need to see my boy." Gibbs replied.

"I will take you to him but he doesn't know about his diagnosis yet. We thought that it would be best if you were there and we wanted to break the news to you first." Dr. Pitt explained.

"I won't say anything until you do." Gibbs assured.

Jimmy stuck his hand in the bathtub. The temperature seemed to be perfect for Sadie's bath. It was already past her bed time but Jimmy kept hoping that Tony and Gibbs would be back in time to get her ready for bed. Jimmy carefully picked the toddler off the floor and striped her of her clothes before gently placing her into the bathtub.

"NOOO!" Sadie cried.

"What's wrong Sadie Bear?" Jimmy asked.

"Want daddy!" Sadie cried.

"I know you do Sadie but your daddy is still getting checked out at the hospital." Jimmy explained.

"No bath! Want daddy!" Sadie cried.

"I know that you want your daddy but you must have a bath." Jimmy replied.

"NO BATH!" Sadie cried slapping Jimmy's glasses off his face and knocking them into the tub.

"Sadie that was very naughty. I know that you know better. Now stop fighting with me and let's get this bath over with," Jimmy ordered.

"Yes" Sadie replied.

"Good" Jimmy sighed relieved.

Jimmy finally got Sadie into the tub and got her cleaned up. Sadie's tantrum must have been from being too tired because she fell asleep before Jimmy even had a chance to finish reading her one story. Around nine Jimmy looked at his watch and grew concerned. Tony had left almost three hours ago now. Three hours ago what had Gibbs been doing three hours ago?

"Jimmy?" Sadie called from the top of the staircase.

"What is it Sadie?" Jimmy asked.

"Is it breakfast time yet?" Sadie questioned.

"No why?" Jimmy asked.

"Cause I'm hungry Gibbs forgot dinner." Sadie replied.

"Shoot I know that I was forgetting something. I will make you a cheese sandwich real quick. That should hold you over until breakfast." Jimmy explained heading up the stairs.

"OK" Sadie replied.

Gibbs held on to his son's hand. Dr. Pitt had to rush off to an emergency with another patient before he had a chance to tell Tony about his test results. They would keep Tony overnight and run his tests first thing in the morning. Tony was sitting up in bed watching the original Planet of the Apes on The Movie Channel. Completely unaware that he may have cancer. Gibbs wanted to take his son and run away down to Mike's old beach house in Mexico or somewhere else far away from everything. Of course that wouldn't be helping anything if Tony did have cancer. He would need to be in the hospital getting treatment to make the illness go away. Hopefully make it go away anyway. Tony needed to beat the cancer and come back to him. Maybe the tests were negative maybe Tony would be just fine.

"Boss?" Tony asked.

"What is it Tony?" Gibbs asked.

"Why am I still here? It was just an asthma attack and I am feeling much better. Is something else wrong?" Tony asked.

"Just wait for Dr. Pitt to come back. I promised him that I wouldn't say anything." Gibbs replied.

"It's the plague. It's back isn't it?" Tony questioned.

"It's not the plague." Gibbs replied.

"Then what's wrong?" Tony demanded.

"Your white cell count is high. You uh you may have leukemia." Gibbs explained.

"Am I dying?" Tony questioned.

"No at least I hope not but if you do have leukemia it is ALL which Dr. Pitt said was very treatable and has an excellent survival rate eighty-five percent. You may have slimmer chances because of your plague but Brad is confident that you will beat it." Gibbs explained.

"What if I don't?" Tony asked.

"Please don't think like that." Gibbs begged.

"Boss you have to promise me something." Tony pleaded.

"Anything" Gibbs replied.

"If I don't make it you have to take care of Sadie for me." Tony explained.

"I will raise her like she is my own but you will beat this." Gibbs assured trying to wipe the tears from his eyes without Tony noticing.

A/N: Am I mean enough to give Tony cancer? Even if he doesn't there will still be a plot twist because of his results. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
