A/N: A reviewer asked for a chapter update since it's Nov. 15 and I made that Timmy's birthday. Though everyone should shout out to Sean Murray, since it's his birthday :)
Agent Stan Burley came to take photo's of Tony for evidence. Tony was not very thrilled with the idea, but Gibbs explained the photos could help in taking down Ben. Tony was all for that, so while not liking his picture taken he willingly obliged.
While that was taking place, Gibbs was in the cafeteria with Shawn and Dr. Michaels.
"So you're saying. You don't. Know." Gibbs was not in a very pleasant mood at the moment. It was eight o'clock Monday night, and they had arrived at the crime scene around one that afternoon. He had been at the hospital the whole time with Tony. Gibbs did not like hospitals.
"I'm saying it's too early to tell. He's in the PICU and will have a nurse with him twenty-four seven." Michaels said calmly, knowing Gibbs could easily chew him to shreds, if he chose.
"PICU?" Gibbs asked.
"Pediatric Intensive Care Unit." Shawn told him.
"A punctured lung is not something that even an adult recovers from over night. Let alone a baby who is malnourished. It's a waiting game to see if his body can handle the stress." Michaels tone was tired.
"Look, I know you have done everything you possibly can. But since he's still alive, that's got to mean something. Right?" Gibbs sounded almost desperate.
The two doctors looked at each other before Shawn answered, "Yes and no, Gibbs. Yes he's proven to be strong, but the question is, how long can that strength last him?" Shawn looked right at Gibbs, making sure he had his attention. "We're not giving up on him. We will do everything we can, but ultimately it's up to Timmy."
"Yeah, I know. Thanks Shawn. Dr. Michaels." Gibbs said as he stood up and threw away his coffee. He didn't return to the table though. Stan was standing by the door and Gibbs just pointed to Dr. Michaels as he walked past Stan.
Peaking his head into the room Gibbs saw Tony was sitting up in bed watching T.V. He opened the door all the way and walked over to the bed, sitting down in the chair next to it. Tony was wrapped up in Timmy's blanket that Nurse Jenna had brought back. They said nothing, but Gibbs knew, Tony knew, he was there. Tony just stared at the T.V. and let out a chuckle as something was apparently funny. Gibbs watched the screen for a moment but couldn't figure out what he was watching.
"What are we watching Buddy?" The two cartoon characters had funny looking heads. The shorter of the two had almost a triangle shape head with reddish color hair. The taller one had a tall rectangle head with green hair. They seemed to be building something, but Gibbs couldn't figure out what.
"It Phineas an Ferb." Tony said, not looking away from the screen.
"Phineas and Ferb?" Gibbs asked, wondering if he heard right.
"Yep. Tay bothers. Tay make stuff. Me an Timmy pee-tend to be 'em. I'm Phineas, Timmy's Ferb."
"Really. How come?"
Tony took his eye's off the show for a moment, looking to see if Gibbs really wanted to know. Seeing true interest in Gibbs' eye's Tony launched into an explanation. "Phineas alway come up wit ideas. Ferb is da smart one. He come up wit da way to do da idea. 'Ike me an Timmy. I make da idea, Timmy 'iger out how. Timmy smart. He be a sci-en-tif when he big." Tony turned his attention back to the screen as a blue animal came on. "Perry!" Tony yelled happily as he clapped his hands.
For the next half hour Gibbs learned all there was to know about Phineas and Ferb, Perry the Platypus, Buford - Gibbs was told, Timmy sometimes called Ben, Buford, and Tony secretly agreed with him - Candace, and a crazy Dr. named Doof.
Gibbs also learned more about two little brothers, who made life what they could. Just the two of them. By the time the show was over, and explanations given, Tony's eyes were once again closing.
"Why don't you get some sleep Buddy. It's really late for you to still be up."
Tony sighed and picked at the blanket. "Timmy?" He quietly asked, not looking up.
"He's okay still." Gibbs replied softly. "He's in a special room so the doctors and nurses can take extra special care of him. But I get the feeling, if he's anything like you, he'll be up and about in no time." Gibbs said with a smile.
Tony looked up, and let out a tiny grin of his own. "See 'im soon?"
"Soon, when he's in a room like yours."
"K. Night Gibbs." Tony said as he scooted down and curled up in Timmy's blanket.
"Goodnight, Buddy." Gibbs replied, making sure he was covered completely, and turned off the T.V. Gibbs waited until he knew Tony was fast asleep before quietly sneaking out of the room.
Taking out his phone Gibbs hit his speed dial, "Hey, I need a favor."
A/N: Sorry it's short, my teacher has assigned two essays at the same time, but I was at least able to take a few minutes and get this out to you all. Hope you enjoyed!
