Jimmy took advantage of the time Gibbs was spending checking on Sadie. To get a little one on one time with Tony. He could have gone a lifetime without seeing Tony hooked up to a ventilator again. He still had nightmares about seeing his friend fighting the plague. He didn't know about Gibbs but Ducky, Abby, and McGee didn't have those issues. He just chalked that up to the fact that his time with Ducky ended before he even knew if Tony would be OK. Gerald had healed and was ready to come back to work while Tony was still in the hospital. So he was off to a disastrous summer job at his mom's boyfriend's butcher shop. Putting his bad memories aside he made his way to his friend's bedside. He had trouble looking at Tony if he looked at the bottom of his face he saw the ventilator but if he looked at the top. He saw the jagged cut on Tony's face. Growing up in the fairly sheltered loving home he was born into. Even now it came as a shock to Jimmy that somebody could harm their own child. It was horrible to think that his friend was fighting for his life. All because of his father's raging temper. The same temper that was the reason his baby girl was dead. Jimmy flat-out refused to let his friend die from the same attack that took his baby girl from him. He looked down at Tony wondering if an order to not die from him. Would carry the same weight that Gibbs's order had all those years ago. It couldn't hurt to try though.

"Tony listen to me. You will not die. OK you will not die? I know I'm not Gibbs and he probably will give you the same order later if he hasn't already but you will not die. I already lost my baby girl because of your father. I am not going to lose you too. You are my best friend. More important than me and even our co-workers at NCIS. Who love you and would never stop crying if you died. Are the two people who need you most in this world. Your little girl Sadie needs her daddy to see her grow and keep her safe from the world and Gibbs that man loves you like a son. He will probably die if he lost you. He will probably kill me for this but he was crying when you flat-lined. He thinks that he kept it together but he was beside me openly crying. I was sobbing like an idiot but I could still hear him. I don't know what is wrong with you or what is going on in your head but you have to fight through it. Please Tony I need you. We all need you. Please Tony don't die." Jimmy pleaded tears pouring out of his eyes and landing on his friend's arms.

Gibbs stood in the doorway to Tony's hospital room. Completely amazed by the younger man's words to his friend. He doubted that it even registered to Jimmy that he was there but maybe it was for the best that way. Jimmy still got pretty tongue-tied around Gibbs and everything he was saying were words Tony needed to hear. Tony was pretty hard-headed and needed as many people as possible to drill it in that whatever was going on with him. Was not worth him dying over. Not to mention Tony needed to know how many people out there needed him to survive.

"Oh Agent Gibbs I didn't see you there." Jimmy commented twirling around.

"Sorry kid I hope I didn't embarrass you." Gibbs replied.

"No it's fine. Uh I guess you heard that you cried. I am sorry like I said I didn't see you there. I just wanted Tony to know how much we need him." Jimmy explained.

"It's OK I knew that I had tears I just didn't realize how emotional I got." Gibbs replied.

"Where did you go? Did you need to compose yourself?" Jimmy asked.

"A little but mainly I was calling Leon to check on Sadie." Gibbs explained.

"How is she doing?" Jimmy asked.

"A little shaken but she is OK." Gibbs replied.

"Does she know about Tony?" Jimmy asked.

"Not really she knows that he is sick and has to be in the hospital for a while but that he still loves her and can't wait to see her again." Gibbs explained.

"I hope he comes home to her." Jimmy said solemnly.

"Me too kid." Gibbs whispered.

"Hey Gibbs?" Jimmy asked as they walked back over to Tony's bed.

"What is it kid?" Gibbs asked.

"How long should I leave Breena alone?" Jimmy questioned.

"The best thing you can do is wait until she wants you back." Gibbs replied.

"OK" Jimmy sighed.

"Don't worry she will come around." Gibbs assured.

"What if she doesn't? The majority of marriages where a child is lost end in divorce after a year. What if we become one of those couples.?" Jimmy questioned.

"I am not going to pretend to be a marriage counselor but if either of you ever need to vent of just need a night or two apart. I have space you'd have a couch or air mattress." Gibbs offered.

"Thanks" Jimmy replied.

"Can I ask you something fairly personal?" Gibbs questioned.

"Sure" Jimmy replied.

"Let me first say. I understand more than anyone that you can't replace a child but can you and Breena try again?" Gibbs asked.

"Uh Try again?" Jimmy asked confused.

"Can you guys have more babies if you want to or did Senior do too much damage?" Gibbs questioned.

"The doctors said we needed to wait a couple of months until Breena's body has healed up a little but as long as she follows doctors orders and takes it easy for a while. We shouldn't have any problem getting pregnant again." Jimmy explained.

"Will you guys try again?" Gibbs asked.

"I want to but like I said it will be a few months before we can try again. Maybe longer before Breena is emotionally up for it. Of course we could get a call about an adoption any day." Jimmy explained.

"Good luck to you." Gibbs replied.

"Thanks" Jimmy replied.

"No problem kid. Hold on I need to take this." Gibbs replied rushing out of the room with his phone in hand.

"Hello?"

"Gibbs!"

"Leon what is it?"

"You need to get here right now! It's bad really...really very bad."

"Leon calm down."

"OK...OK"

"Now what's wrong?"

"I left Sadie alone with Jared for five minutes. Five minutes that's all. While I drove Kayla to her friend Amy's house. She only lives down the street but it was raining. When I got back Jared had been knocked senseless and Sadie..."

"And Sadie what?"

"She was gone Jethro. Somebody took her. I am so sorry please don't hate me."

"I...I'll get my team."

A/N: Will the team get to Sadie in time? Of course Senior is involved in this somehow. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
