Loves you all for your reviews. Hope you all enjoy this chapter and Tim's admission to Tony.

Gibbs arrived as soon as visiting hours began the next morning. He handed Tim the tickets, forgetting his was tucked inside the envelope.

"There is three…" Tim murmured. He then looked at Gibbs with a look of disgust.

"Forget it…" he said harshly and gave him back all three tickets. Gibbs didn't accept it back.

"Not refundable Tim…besides this was DiNozzo's idea…." he said and Tim scoffed.

"Of course it was and you're always willing to keep Tony happy aren't you Gibbs?" He asked.

"Tim…I agreed because we need to put this behind us, I need you all back in the office and…"

"Fine! Whatever! Come on the stupid trip!" Tim snapped and slammed the tickets onto the table.

Gibbs snuck a look at his monitors. "I didn't come here so you'd have a heart attack before getting released" he said.

"Never knew hypocrite bastards could care" Tim muttered.

"Tim" Gibbs said his name slowly.

Tim only stared coldly. He saw Gibbs heard him but he was too annoyed to care he hurt the man.

"You are a hypocrite Gibbs…you're the man who has fifty rules but apparently you can break them"

"I didn't…"

"YOU SCREWED ME OVER GIBBS!" Tim snapped loudly. "What is that, rule 2? Never screw over your partner? I think lying counts Gibbs…least you taught me that, you told me never to lie to you" he added.

"Tim…"

"Don't Tim me Gibbs like I am your son!" Tim snapped. "I know I'm not DiNozzo, but I thought I was always loyal to you, not counting my sister which is personal" he added.

"I know McGee, you been a great agent to me which is why I lied to you, I need you three on my team, you're the best" Gibbs said.

Tim rolled his eyes. "Whatever" he muttered.

"McGee…""Whatever Gibbs…nothing I say will matter anyway, you want to come…fine come, I don't care…" he muttered.

"I'm only doing this because I care Tim"

"Whatever" Tim only replied. "This'll be a fun vacation" he muttered.

"Well aren't you McGloomy…were trying to cheer you up and you just keep knocking us down huh McGloomy?" Tim glared at Tony as he entered the hospital room alone. "why won't you leave me alone!" he hissed.

"What kind of brother would I be if I did that Timmy?" Tony questioned.

"You have no idea what it means to be a brother" Tim shot back coldly and Tony felt the sting.

"Apparently I'm still paying that price huh?"

"Did you honestly think I'd just forget it and move on?" Tim shot back and then huffed as he studied Tony's face.

Tim then took a deep breath. He couldn't be mean, it wasn't his nature.

"Look Tony, I think you're a great agent and when Gibbs left you kept us alive and kept the team going" he said and Tony smiled.

"Thanks…"

Tim held up a hand. "Not finished Tony" he said. "Till you left me in the hands of those men I never doubted you on the job, now I can't even look at you without even the smallest of hatred" he said.

Tony gasped. "I…I understand Tim…I still can't get the thought out of my head…when I…I saw you lying there"

"I was dead Tony wasn't I? I was crying and screaming for you throughout that painful torture…when it all ended, I couldn't breathe Tony" he said.

"I felt that way…with my plague"

"Least you had doctors trying to keep you alive! You damn well knew Gibbs, Ducky, Abby and even myself were working our asses off to save you!" Tim shot back.

"Who did I have Tony? I was supposed to have you and Ziva! You keep standing before me with that stupid grin and act like everything is okay! Well it's not fine DiNozzo! It can't be till you prove to me I can trust you!" Tim yelled.

"You can trust me Tim…I swear it" Tony whispered.

Tim took another breath to calm down. "I hope so Tony" he whispered back.

"Gibbs, hand me my pants" he then said and Gibbs retrieved the pants and Tim stuck his hand in the back pocket.

Inside one was his wallet. The other held a folded note. "I want you to read this Tony, it's my favorite review for Deep Six" he said.

Tony grabbed the note and unfolded it. "Read it aloud" Tim said.

"Dear Mr. Gemcity,

My name is Matt and I am fifteen years old. I had to do a book report for school and a friend of mine recommended yours. I couldn't put it down once I began to read.

I think the book was amazing, but my favorite part is the bond between Tommy and McGregor. You see, I lost my baby brother to cancer a year ago and your book has helped me cope.

I hope whoever you based Tommy and McGregor on never destroy that bond. The bond between brothers is too special.

I hope to see more works from you Mr. Gemcity.

Matt

"You're right Tony, Tommy is you, but I never meant it as an insult" Tim said once he finished.

Tears stung the agent's eyes. "Why…why didn't you…""Because I hated you…now I don't hate you as much" Tim answered. "Look Tony, I'll cave in, come to Disney with Sarah and I…but I swear to you…this is your last chance, don't hurt me again Tommy" he threatened.

Tony nodded. "You got it McGregor" he said. He went to Tim and put the note back in his hand before bending to give him a small hug.

"I'll make you trust me again Tim" he promised.

He then walked out and Gibbs followed. "Think I have a shot boss?" he asked and Gibbs nodded.

"I wouldn't have saved your ass if you didn't" he said and walked away from him to think about his plan.
