Hey guys! Two chapters in one month! See I told you I was serious about finishing this fic. And I was looking at my reviews (The few I got *sniff*) and people want some slashy goodness, so I will try my best to make that happen. If it doesn't end up in this fiction then I will make a one -shot about it. Don't worry, I got this all planned out. Sorta. Okay well here's the next chapter of Pain of the Heart. I know its short but I was on a tight schedule, so sue me. (Please don't really sue me. I'm so poor T_T )

The team had moved to the waiting area that was outside of Tony's hospital suite, as to be right there just in case the agent woke up. Gibbs looked around at his team, noticing that everyone else was asleep. The atmosphere had become more relaxing since they found out that Tony would be fine, and Gibbs guessed that the adrenaline had worn away and left them exhausted.

Gibbs stood up and stretched, his bones cracking making him sigh in relief. His muscles and bones had become tired from sitting in the same position for more than an hour. He took one last look at his team before making his way to Tony's room, stopping to look through the window at the unconscious agent. He couldn't help but feel that this was his fault, that McGee was right in blaming him.

"He's going to be fine you know." A voice said behind him. Gibbs turned quickly and was face to face with Tim, who was smiling softly as he also looked through the window at Tony. The man looked back at Gibbs, the smile still on his face. "After all you haven't given him permission to die."

"Tim…" Gibbs started to say but was cut off as McGee raised his hand to silence the older man.

"I know apologizing is a sign of weakness, but I'm sorry for what happened back at the bullpen, that was immature and out of line. I was letting my emotions lead me."

"But everything you said was true. I did put him in those situations."

Tim shook his head lightly as he looked back toward Tony. "The truth is that Tony could have said no to any of those missions, and he chose not to. He trusts you that much,well that and he knows how to take care of himself. I doubt that he would have done anything if it had been a different person ordering him to."

Everything was true, Gibbs realized. Tony is not some idiot who would just follow anyone's orders he had to trust you. Gibbs was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost didn't see Tim walking away. Almost.

"Tim, I know you love him…but I want you to know that I finally have him and I am not going to give him up."

"I know. I don't want to get between you two. Trust me I know when I'm beat boss. Just, promise me that you'll…ah what am I saying of course you'll take care of him and I know he'll take care of you." The younger man said before yawning. "well I'm going to catch some Z's as Tony would say. Am I safe in assuming you're going to stay up and wait until he's woken up?"

When he just got a 'what do you think' look he laughed and walked back to the waiting area leaving Gibbs to his own thoughts, but not for long. It was only ten minutes or so before someone clearing their throat broke him from his thoughts again. He sighed harshly and turned around determined to tell McGee that if he didn't want leave him alone he was going to headslap him into next week. Only the face he was met with wasn't Tim's at all, or anyone's from his team.

"Hey Gibbs. Fancy meeting you here"

"Fornell. What are you doing here?"

"I've acquired something that you may want to take a look at." His buddy said all business. Gibbs knew that if Fornell came to deliver something personally, then it was never good.

Ok, so I know that the McGee and Gibbs scene wasn't as good as it could be, trust me I got A LOT of grief about it from my friends, who sneak onto my computer and read my stuff (I will get them someday), but you guys have to understand that in canon I have no clue McGee would respond in a situation like this, plus as much as I love Tim he doesn't havenearly as much balls as i have given him, at least when it comes to confronting Gibbs. The only one in Canon with those kinds of balls are the director and Tony (at times XD )

Alright guys enough of me bitching about this haha. I hope that despite my horrible writing this chapter you will still read and review. Remember with every review God saves a kitty cat from Stephen Lynch. - for those of you who get this joke, you get a virtual cookie and maybe something else depending on my mood. XD
