Gibbs could only hear Tony's end of the conversation but he knew it wasn't good. It figured that Senior didn't seen to care about his son's possible illness. Senior only cared if he wanted something but if Tony needed something. Senior was nowhere to be found. At least Tony wasn't like that. Tony loved Sadie and would go way out of his way for his little girl. Tony put the phone back on the cradle and placed his hands on his lap.

"Are you OK son?" Gibbs asked,

"Fine" Tony lied.

"How did Senior take the news?" Gibbs asked.

"Meh" Tony replied.

"Is he going to get tested?" Gibbs asked.

"Oh he's got some big deal coming up and can't be down for that long." Tony explained.

"His only child may have cancer and he can't take a few minutes to donate bone marrow?!" Gibbs railed.

"It's fine I'm used to it." Tony muttered.

"You shouldn't be." Gibbs replied.

"It's fine Boss it really is." Tony replied.

"If it were fine you wouldn't have tears in your eyes." Gibbs said.

"It's just allergies." Tony lied.

"You aren't allergic to anything in here." Gibbs corrected.

"When are they going to take me back? I mean they said first thing." Tony questioned.

"Should be anytime now." Gibbs replied.

Ten minutes later they came to take Tony back. At least Gibbs knew his son was in good hands. Dr. Pitt and nurse Emma were there in case any problems arose with Tony's lungs. Along with a short, slightly heavy, balding bespectacled oncologist. Gibbs recognized from when he had a scare with a mole on his leg earlier that year. Luckily it was benign and removed. Without too much of a scar even though Tony swore that scars were sexy. As long as they weren't on his face.

"Alright Tony it's time to go." Dr. Pitt greeted.

"OK" Tony sighed.

"Don't worry Tony you are in excellent hands." Emma assured.

"Only the best for you Tony." Gibbs assured.

"Tony this is Dr. Hanningian. He is our top oncologist." Dr. Pitt introduced.

"Nice to meet you Tony, nice to see you again Agent Gibbs I hope you are doing well." Dr. Hanningian replied.

"Boss why the hell do you know an oncologist?" Tony asked.

"I had a mole removed back in March. It was benign." Gibbs explained.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Tony asked.

"I didn't want anybody making a fuss over it. Abby would go crazy if she thought I was sick." Gibbs explained.

"Abby, please don't tell her about this." Tony begged.

"Whatever the tests show it is your news to share." Gibbs replied.

"Sorry Tony but it's time to go." Dr. Hanningian said.

"OK" Tony replied nervously.

"Brad before you go uh the test to be a marrow donor how bad is it?" Gibbs asked.

"Not bad at all." Brad replied.

"Can I get tested today?" Gibbs asked.

"You don't even know if Tony has cancer yet." Brad replied.

"I know but I can't be there when he has his test and I will go crazy just waiting. Plus I want to be prepared." Gibbs explained.

"I will see what I can do." Brad replied.

In the hospital cafeteria Gibbs picked up and quickly set his burger down again. He looked at his watch and sighed. Wondering how only five minutes had passed. Tony had been taken back for his biopsy at seven and the procedure typically only takes half an hour. To perform but Dr. Hanningian had an emergency with another patient. Finally at almost noon everything was resolved and Tony's procedure had begun. Dr. Pitt had arranged for Gibbs to undergo the necessary blood test to be a marrow donor. The procedure started at eight and he was out by nine. Including answering questions and some basic preliminary tests. He knew that it was foolish to get the test done before Tony had even had his biopsy bit he wanted to be ready. He also knew that if Tony did have cancer he would be so busy attending to his son and caring for his grand-daughter. That he wouldn't have time for any tests. Right now however all he wanted was for his boy. To be done with his procedure. So Gibbs could hold him in his arms and wait for what would hopefully be good news. Finally he managed to choke down his burger and make his way back to his boy's room. His heart dropped when he returned to the room and found Brad waiting in the room without Tony.

"Where is he? I don't care if I have to stand in a freezer. Just let me see him one more time." Gibbs pleaded.

"Jethro he isn't dead." Dr. Pitt replied.

"Then where the hell is he?" Gibbs demanded.

"He is sleeping in a recovery room. We just finished the procedure and everything went great but we want him to lie down for a while before we send him home." Dr. Pit explained.

"Is there anything I can do?" Gibbs asked.

"Not really." Dr. Pitt replied.

"Can I see him in recovery?" Gibbs asked.

"Sure" Dr. Pitt replied.

"Great" Gibbs replied.

"Oh did you have the marrow donor test?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"I did." Gibbs replied.

"Any news yet?" Dr. Pitt asked.

"Not yet." Gibbs replied.

"Don't stress if you aren't and it turns out Tony is sick. We will find a donor for him." Dr. Pitt assured.

That evening Tony was resting up in his room. While Sadie played in the living room and Gibbs got dinner ready. Both men were on edge but trying to hide their fear from Sadie. She was too young to be expected to worry about bone marrow tests and cancer. The first thing Tony said upon seeing his daughter napping in Jimmy's arms. Was how glad he was that she wasn't the one who may be sick. Gibbs hugged his son and whispered that he had no idea. When the phone finally rang Gibbs nearly jumped through the roof.

"Gibbs"

"Gibbs it's Dr. Hanningian is Tony there?"

"He is napping."

"Oh well don't disturb him. I just wanted to let him know that the results are in."

"Can you tell me?"

"Since you are his medical proxy I can."

"What's the verdict?"

"Actually Agent Gibbs we have some news for you too."

Tony woke up when he heard his boss come in the room. He was pretty sore but Dr. Hanningian had said that was normal. He could still move and wasn't in extreme pain. So there was no need to alarm Gibbs. His only concern was how tired he was. He had been so tired lately he hoped it was because he was chasing a toddler around not because he had cancer.

"Boss?" Tony asked wearily.

"Dr. Hanningian called your results are in."

"Do I have?" Tony asked.

"You don't have cancer. They took some extra blood after the procedure so you wouldn't have to come in again though." Gibbs explained.

"So what's wrong?" Tony asked.

"You have mono." Gibbs replied.

"Aw I didn't even get to kiss anybody!" Tony whined.

"I don't care you don't have cancer that's all I care about." Gibbs replied.

"That is good news. Hey Boss, Dr. Pitt said you had the test to see if you could give me marrow. Is that true?" Tony asked.

"It is." Gibbs replied.

"Do you have any news yet?" Tony asked.

"I do." Gibbs replied.

"Are we a match?" Tony questioned.

"We are in fact we are a really good match." Gibbs replied.

"That's good but I am glad I don't need it." Tony replied.

"That is good but here's the thing. We are too good of a match to not be related." Gibbs explained.

"What the hell does that mean?" Tony questioned.

"Tony there is a good chance that I am your father. I mean really your father." Gibbs blurted out.
