Gibbs heads back to autopsy to see his kids. Tony was still sleeping and Jasmine was still in the office.
"Are they really okay?" Gibbs asked Duck.
"I'm sure they haven't slept well in weeks. Brad dropped off the wheelchair for Anthony. So you can take them home. Just be there for them, especially Anthony."
"I will. I am going to go wake up Jasmine and then we will get Tony into the wheelchair."
Gibbs walked into Ducky's office and saw the sleeping child trying to hold on to 2 dolls with a broken arm. She looked so sweet that it reminded him of Kelly. He was so happy he had a second chance to be a father to 2 people who really need him.
"Hey Jasmine, time to wake up." Gibbs calls gently to her.
Jasmine woke up slowly still gripping her dolls with her good arm. She eyed the older guy carefully. He seems to care for Tony and he has been really nice to her, unlike her real father who did nothing but hurt Tony and yells at both of them.
"Shall we go wake up your brother and go home." Gibbs suggested.
Jasmine nodded. As she was getting off the couch she dropped her dolls on the floor. Gibbs picks up the dolls for her and hands her one of them.
"Tony is still sleeping out there; why don't you go wake him up. But be careful."
Jasmine ran into the main room and stood next to her brother.
"Tony it is time to go home with um, uh." Jasmine started but couldn't remember the guy's name.
"It is Gibbs, or you can call him Boss; I do." Tony answered with a smile. "We are going to stay with him awhile, at least until I am back in my feet."
"Actually I would like it if you both stayed with me permanently." Gibbs spoke up.
"Uh Gibbs, you think that is such a good idea. I mean we would just be in the way." Tony argued.
"No you wouldn't. I have a big house and plenty of room. Besides I already have the perfect little girl's room complete with a doll house bed with a canopy."
Jasmine eyes lit up. "Really."
"Uh Boss. That would be Kelly's room. Are you sure you want to give it away." Tony asked.
"I think that Kelly would love it if Jasmine got good use out of the room." Gibbs started before he turned to the girl. "My daughter Kelly died when she was a year older than you. I never could bear to pack up her room, so it is the same way she left it. However, we can make changes to it as you would like. I want you to make the room your own."
"I don't have anything but the dolls that Tony gave me. Father wouldn't let me take anything after my mom died. He had everything destroyed." Jasmine cried.
Gibbs wrapped his arms around the upset girl. He was surprised that she didn't flinch. However, she hadn't had it happened to her for that type of a response.
"I will let you in on a little secret. Your new Aunts and Uncles would love nothing more than to spoil you." Gibbs whispered.
Jasmine looked at him confused. "I have Aunts and Uncles?"
"Yup. The team, all of which you had met today."
Tony seemed to be a bit unsure, but Gibbs was expecting that. Tony was the one who bared the brunt of it all. Gibbs knew he had to be patient, Tony never believed he was worth being cared about. He saw that when he first met Tony in Baltimore. He was beyond reckless when it came to his own life and safety. They had come a long way since then, but Tony had a major setback. He did everything in his power to protect Jasmine, even if it would have ended up costing his own life. Gibbs is just grateful that it didn't, that they were rescued in time.
He will discuss being Jasmine foster parent with Tony tonight and even put the subject of adoption on the table. Then when Tony is ready to consider it, he would like to adopt them both.
"Duck will you help me get Tony in the chair." Gibbs asked after a while when he saw that Tony was beginning to fall asleep again.
"Of course." Ducky answered.
After Tony was seated in the wheelchair, Jasmine put her dolls in Tony's lap and took his hand.
"Thank you Ducky for taking such great care of Jazzy." Tony said in his most sincere voice.
"It was my pleasure. Take your medicine and get some rest. I will be my in the morning to check on you." Ducky answered.
Gibbs drove carefully back to his house. He wasn't about to drive like a maniac when Tony was injured, but above that when he had a child in the car.
Gibbs got Tony out of the car and into his chair when they arrived. He left Jasmine and Tony talking outside for a few minutes while he went to the basement and grabbed a piece of wood to use as a ramp to get Tony's wheelchair up the stairs.
"Tony, I am putting you in the downstairs guest room for now. After you are out of the wheelchair we will move you upstairs." Gibbs told him.
Tony just nodded. He was tired anyway and all he cared about at the moment was going back to sleep. Jasmine stood in the doorway and watched while Boss helped Tony get into bed. Tony was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
"Alright Jasmine, let's go see your new room." Gibbs said as soon as he saw that Tony was asleep.
Gibbs led Jasmine up the stairs to the room that used to be Kelly's. He opened the door and let Jasmine walk in first. She looked around the room amazed at everything in here and it was all hers now. She never had much when it was just her and her mom, but at least she had some. With Anthony she didn't have anything. Now it looks like she can have her heart's desire.
