Jimmy stood with his hand on the door to Breena's room. He was dreading telling her the news that their baby had died. He just wanted to run and hide, let somebody else break the news to Breena. Except that wouldn't be fair to Breena. She needed to hear the news from her husband. Not some random doctor. Taking one last deep breath, Jimmy turned down the door handle, and walked into the room.

"Jimmy?" Breena asked.

"Hi Breena." Jimmy replied nervously.

"How's our baby?" Breena asked.

"It's gone." Jimmy replied voice cracking.

"What do you mean it's gone?" Breena asked.

"It didn't make it." Jimmy replied voice cracking.

"No" Breena moaned.

"I am so sorry." Jimmy replied.

"Can we see it?" Breena asked.

"Th...the baby?" Jimmy questioned.

"Yes Jimmy I want to see my baby." Breena replied.

"I will go see what I can do." Jimmy replied.

"Thanks" Breena replied.

Jimmy left Breena's room to find somebody. He didn't want to see his baby's dead body but it's what Breena wanted. She was the one who had carried the baby and went through everything. If she needed to see her child one time so be it. Jimmy made his way to the nurses station. Figuring one of them would be able to help him.

"May I help you?" A nurse asked.

"Yeah I am Jimmy Palmer, husband of Breena Palmer." Jimmy replied.

"Oh I am so sorry." The nurse replied.

"Thank you Erica." Jimmy replied.

"Is there anything Breena needs?" Erica asked.

"She uh she wants to see our baby." Jimmy replied.

"She does know that it died right?" Erica questioned.

"Yes but she still wants to see it one time." Jimmy replied.

"Are you sure she can handle it?" Erica asked.

"She is an embalmer. I am actually an assistant Medical Examiner but I don't know if I can handle seeing it or not. Of course I will for Breena though." Jimmy explained.

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

Gibbs was starting to go stir crazy. Tony had been in surgery for hours and there still was no news. He was sure that this meant that his boy was dead or dying. He leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes. Hoping that he would open them and magically his boy would be just fine.

"Boss?" Somebody called.

"Oh it's just you McGee." Gibbs sighed.

"I feel so loved." McGee scoffed.

"It's not that I don't like you. I was just hoping that you were Tony." Gibbs replied.

"Ducky told me what happened to him and Breena." McGee replied.

"Figured that's why you were here." Gibbs replied.

"You OK Boss?" McGee questioned.

"My son is in surgery for internal bleeding and has a really bad head injury! How the hell do you think I am?!" Gibbs snapped.

"You call Tony your son? Don't you think that's a little weird?" McGee asked.

"Why would it be weird? I see him as a son." Gibbs questioned.

"Because you two are dating. I mean I know you come from a small town but I didn't see you as the type who would allude to incest." McGee explained.

"You think Tony and I are dating?" Gibbs asked.

"Well yeah I mean Tony moved in with you and you guys talk privately a lot." McGee explained.

"Tony moved in with me because he needed a larger place to live when he got custody of his daughter Sadie. We talk privately because I am helping him raise Sadie." Gibbs explained.

"Oh come on Boss, you really expect me to believe Tony has a daughter." McGee mocked.

"Her name is Sadie, she's two years old and this is her." Gibbs replied pulling out his phone and showing McGee the background picture of Tony and Sadie.

"Wow" McGee gasped.

"Why would you doubt Tony having a daughter?" Gibbs asked.

"I don't know I guess I still had my issues with that kid from high school. So I stereotyped everybody who had kids they didn't know about as some stupid, selfish, jerk." McGee replied.

"Tony really feels bad about not knowing Sadie was his." Gibbs replied.

"What's the deal with the mother?" McGee asked.

"She and Tony dated shortly a few years ago. Then she cheated on him and robbed her grandmother. So Tony ended it with her. A couple of months ago he found out the baby she was pregnant with when they broke up was his." Gibbs explained.

"Where is she now?" McGee asked.

"Don't know she abandoned Sadie the night Tony went to get her." Gibbs explained.

"At least she has Tony." McGee replied.

"He is an amazing father." Gibbs replied smiling.

Jimmy sat beside Breena in her hospital bed as she cradled their daughter in her arms. Jimmy remembered being so excited that he was having a daughter. A little girl who Sadie DiNozzo could teach how to do things and grow up with. Tony and him had envisioned their daughter's being best friends. Instead his little girl was gone and for all he knew Tony was too. All because of Tony's father. It was sick even if Senior wasn't Tony's father. No parent should treat their child like this. They should cherish their babies. Because people like him and Gibbs had lost theirs. Gibbs he had better be Tony's real father.

"Do you want to name her?" Breena asked.

"Yeah" Jimmy replied.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Breena asked.

"Angela Grace Palmer" Jimmy replied.

"It's perfect."Breena replied voice cracking.

"What do you want to do with her?" Jimmy asked.

"What are our options?" Breena questioned.

"Cremation or burial or we could allow the hospital dispose of the remains." Jimmy explained.

"What will the hospital do with her?" Breena asked.

"They put them in the incinerator. It's horrible I saw it happen when I was doing my residency here. It's not that they don't care it's that they don't have anywhere to bury the fetuses and if the parents don't want the ashes they have no choice." Jimmy explained.

"Can we cremate her and bury her ashes between our cemetery plots?" Breena asked.

"We may have to buy a third plot. I will call the cemetery and see what we have to do." Jimmy replied.

"I want to include her in our headstone too." Breena replied.

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

"Jimmy I can't look at her anymore." Breena sobbed.

"I will go get somebody." Jimmy replied.

"Can you go visit Tony or something after that? I need to be alone for a while." Breena requested.

Gibbs had had enough. McGee had left to go get Abby, Bishop said she would come by later, Leon was busy with Sadie, and Ducky was with Jimmy and Breena. God he hoped their baby was OK. No parent should lose a child. The Palmer's had already had the mother back out on the adoption and that was painful enough but to have a child die. That was wrong. Gibbs felt selfish for being so upset over his own problem but he was alone waiting for news on Tony.

"Agent Gibbs?" Dr. Pitt called.

"How is he Brad?" Gibbs demanded.

"Tony was brought in with severe internal bleeding. The kicks from the attacker damaged his spleen severely. We had no choice but to remove the organ from his body. He also had a collapsed lung that required surgery to repair. The bulk of the surgery though was exploratory making sure we had stemmed all the bleeding. The spleen was the only organ rapidly losing blood but his kidneys and liver are badly bruised. So far he is doing well but because it is Tony I am fully expecting there to be complications." Dr. Pitt explained.

"How's his head?" Gibbs asked.

"He has a pretty severe concussion I'm afraid." Dr. Pitt sighed.

"Jesus, DiNozzo" Gibbs whispered.

"The good news is he is responsive, the bad news is he has yet to wake up." Dr. Pitt explained.

"When will he wake up?" Gibbs asked.

"I can't answer that Jethro." Dr. Pitt replied.

"Dammit!" Gibbs growled.

"I am sure he will be awake before you know it." Dr. Pitt assured.

"Can I see him?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes you can, just come with me." Dr. Pitt replied.

A/N: At least Jimmy has Gibbs to turn to and helping Jimmy will hopefully distract Gibbs a little. Please review and thanks for reading.
