Our Story
Chapter Eight: Tubes and Wires Will Not Stop Me From Loving You.
"Hi my name is Abby Sciuto, I'm supposed to be with the two husbands that just came in" Abby tells the nurse at the desk
"What are their names, dear"? The nurse asks Abby
"Anthony and Timothy Dinozzo" Abby says quite rushed.
"Alright, Timothy is in room 201 A and Anthony appears to still be in surgery" she tell the shaken Abby
"Thank you" she says as she rushes towards Tim's room.
She arrives at patient room 201 A and knocks, she hears a quiet voice say "Come in". "Hey Timmy, how are you" Abby says as she sets on the bed. "How's Tony" Tim says with concern in his voice.
"He's okay, he is in surgery right now, but I'm sure that everything will be fine" Abby says trying to comfort her hurt friend. They both hear another KNOCK KNOCK on the door. "Come in" they say in unison.
"Hi there, I'm Dr. Muller. Oh, this must be your wife, and what is your name mam"? He says
"Oh, I'm not his wife, just a really good friend. His husband is in surgery" She says and waits for a response.
"Oh, I see, nice to see a fellow gay man in my hospital" The doctor says, pointing to his ring.
"When did you get married"? He asks Tim
"Three weeks ago, but we've been together forever". Tim says
"That's so sweet, well here are your discharge papers. I'm sure you are ready have you pain medication prescription. I like to caution people and their families, these drugs are very addictive and if you develop a problem. We have a helpline that runs through the hospital" the doctor says to Tim and writes a number down on a piece of paper, then hands it along with the discharge papers to Tim. Tim signs the papers and gives the paper with the number on it to Abby. "I trust you tell me if I have a problem" Tim says as he gives out a slight laugh.
"There you are Timothy, have a great day" The doctor says as walks out of the room.
"Lets go find Tony" she says as she grabs Tim's bag with 'personal items' on the front and they walk out of the room and to the nurses station.
"Excuse me miss, I'm looking for my husband, his name is Anthony Dinozzo which room is he in"? Abby asks. She is still worried about people know about her friends after what just happened in the ambulance.
"That's not right" the nurse says looking up at Abby. "Miss it says that Anthony Dinozzo is married to a Timothy Dinozzo, whom was just discharged, is this information incorrect"? She asks Abby.
"No, I'm Timothy Dinozzo.." Tim says and steps in front of Abby "my friend is just worried about what people will think" he says "We didn't have a pleasant ride in the ambulance, she arrested all of them" Tim whispers to the nurse.
"Well I for one am very happy for you, he's in room in the ICU in room 5." Tim's face showed nothing but hurt and terror. "Would you like me to show you" the nurse asks getting up, knowing she just told a fragile husband, some very bad news. "Here it's this way" she says putting her arm around Tim and leading him towards the ICU Wing. "I know a short cut" she says and stops at two big doors with red letter that say 'AUTHORIZED PERSONEL ONLY'. She flashes her badge by the little grey box on the wall and the doors swing open. She leads them through the billing office, which was way too white, through a small hallway with doors to clinic patients on either side, through the lab area, and finally they arrive at the ICU wing. The nurse goes to the nursing station behind them, and asks for a privacy key. She shows Tim the hotel looking key card "Here this will unlock and lock the room, and is you want, swipe the key here and the windows become frosted. Cool right". She says as Tim gives her a slight smile and nod.
Abby and Tim enter the room to find Timothy beloved husband hooked up to IV's, Vital Monitors, and every other medical device in the hospital. Although Tony was high on morphine, Tony said to Tim
"Timmy don't look at me, I don't want this to hurt you" Tony says as a tear runs down his cheek, Tim grabs a tissue and wipes Tony's tears.
"This tubes and wires will not stop me from loving you" Tim says and lean in to kiss Tony on the cheek. For the next three day Abby and Tim, along with everyone else at NCIS comes to visit Tony everyday. Tim and Abby take turns sleeping next to him, Tim gets at least an extra hour next to Tony just to talk to him. Gradually the tubes and wires come out. The third day, when Tony only had one IV in his arm.
"Nice to see you again Timothy, Tony, Abigail; how are you Tony"? The doctor asks
"I'm ready to get out of here and have Tim cook me some real food on our stove, still weird to say that. Our house, Our life, Our everything". Tony says and kisses Tim on the forehead.
"Well Tony, you both can get back to your life, and your house. Here just sign the discharge papers. I sure you have your pain medication prescription, I-"
"Don't worry Abby and I both drilled it into his head and Abby and I have to number" Tim says interrupting the doctor.
"Well in that case, you both should be on your way, have a great time 'cooking'" the doctor says with a laugh and exits the room.
Author Notes: Well hope I didn't deprive you all to much of this sexy couple.
