"Gibbs this is Bobby and Caleb," Tony said standing up and gesturing to each man, "Guys this is Gibbs."
2/24/13: Just doing some minor edits with grammar and such.
"So this is the infamous Bobby." Gibbs said getting up to shake hands with Bobby and then reached over to shake Caleb's hand.
"Well the same can be said for you." Bobby said returning the gesture. "I assume Tony told you about what we do for a living."
"Yeah just finished. I would like to thank you for helping Tony out he has been an invaluable part of the team. Too bad I never got to meet John." Gibbs said going back to sit besides Sam who was still asleep.
"I have a feeling you two would have gotten along just fine." Caleb said setting the coffee down on the bedside table and took a seat on the other side of Dean, "Hey kiddo how you feeling? I just got a new shipment of guns in this morning thought you might like to try them out when you are feeling better."
Caleb was greeted by the same silence that everyone else had become accustomed too since the boys found out about John's death. "Why isn't he talking Tony?" Caleb asked curious as to why Dean was silent and apparently shut down and he had a funny feeling it wasn't from the fever.
"Dean has pneumonia and has a fever. I think he is going into the same protective shell he did after Mom died. You remember that right?" Tony asked sitting down in one of the plastic chairs on Dean's other side.
"It's hard to forget something like that. How are you and Sammy doing?" Caleb asked as he gently rubbed Dean's arm.
"I don't know everything feels so surreal like it happened to someone else." Tony answered truthfully, "It will probably hit us hard in the morning. Speaking of which Gibbs I need a ride back to work before I go home so I can pick up my car. I normally wouldn't leave Dean but I need to go and clean up the apartment and clean out the rooms for the boys." Tony said.
"Yeah no problem Tony I can help you clean up your apartment if you want me too." Gibbs answered sitting next to Sam who was just waking up.
Tony noticed Caleb trying to hide a smile and chuckling softly into his jacket collar, "Me and Caleb would love for you to help us; we have a lot of stuff to go through in the apartment. Bobby I guess that leaves you here with Dean tonight."
"Fine by me haven't gotten to spend much time with the kid lately. It's starting to snow pretty good out there." Bobby said noting the ominous white flakes that were steadily coming down outside the hospital room window.
Tony got up and was gathering his things to leave and went over to Sammy, "Hey Sammy, me you, Gibbs and Caleb are going to the apartment to clean it up and make room for you and Dean." Tony said and saw that Sam about to protest, "Come on say good bye to Dean. We will be back in the morning." Tony said leaning over to give Dean a quick hug and tussled his hair and began to make his way towards the door leaving the others to say their goodbyes to Dean.
"Bye Dean I'll see you later get better soon." Sammy said leaning over to give Dean a quick hug.
Next was Gibbs, "See you later kid I'll keep your brothers in line for you."
Lastly Caleb began to rise from his seat next to Dean, "See you later kiddo and you better get better soon. Pastor Jim is chomping at the bit to see you guys."
After goodbyes were said and done the three men followed by Sammy made their way towards the hospital room door and were met by .
"Sorry didn't mean to postpone your leaving I just wanted to check up on Dean. Mr. DiNozzo, may I ask who this that will be staying with Dean is he ok to share information with?" Dr. Pitt asked eyeing Bobby who was sitting in a chair closest to Dean's bed.
"Call me Tony and this is my Uncle Bobby Singer who will be staying with Dean. And of course you can share information with him. If you need anything just let Bobby know or feel free to call me." Tony said handing Dr. Pitt a business card, "I'm sorry to be in such a rush but it looks like the snow is coming down pretty good out there and I would like to get home before it gets to bad."
"Yes of course. If you wait just a moment I can give you an update before you leave." Dr. Pitt said going over to look over Dean's vitals and taking some notes. "Well it looks like since the last time I came in his fever has dropped and his breathing has started to clear up. I would say that if this continues he should be able to leave within the next couple of days."
"That's great news Doc. Thank you." Tony said going over to shake the Doctor's hand, "We really should be going. Bobby are you sure you are ok to stay the night with Dean?" Tony asked.
"I'm fine boy just get going. If your apartment is anything like your room at my place you guys have your work cut out for you." Bobby joked getting up from his chair and went over to give Sam, Tony, and Caleb hugs and Gibbs a firm handshake. "You take care of my boys you hear Gibbs?"
"Loud and clear Bobby." Gibbs said with smirk, glad that someone was protective over his SFA. With that the group moved from the room and began to make their way down towards the elevator.
The group all got into the elevator and hit the button for the ground floor. Silence filled the small space only to be filled by Sammy's mindless chatter that reminded Gibbs and Tony of Abby.
"So what does your apartment look like? Will Dean and I have to share a room again because Dean is a slob and takes up the whole bed and he snores. Do you have a lot of books Tony?" Sammy continued on with the chatter until they arrived at the ground floor where Gibbs led them to the doors.
"Looks like we are leaving just in time. So how are we going to do this? Did you want me to drive to the apartment and start cleaning up the apartment or should I leave the car here for Bobby?" Caleb asked going over to his car which was conveniently parked next to Gibbs's Charger.
"I can give you all a ride to headquarters so Tony can pick up his car and I can check in on the rest of the team." Gibbs directed and they all piled into the Charger.
"Thanks for doing this Boss I really appreciate it." Tony said looking into the backseat and saw that Caleb and Sam had started a conversation about the latest antics of Pastor Jim.
"Tony you don't have to keep thanking me you know. You are like family to me and I would do anything for family." Gibbs said as they pulled into the NCIS parking garage.
"Here we are I'm going to go in and check on the team and see how they are doing. I'll come over later call if you need anything." Gibbs said as he started to walk towards the building, leaving Tony, Caleb and Sam walking towards Tony's Mustang.
As Tony opened his door he saw one of his "special" magazines the kind that a 10 year olds shouldn't see sitting in the backseat. It was then that he remembered his collection sitting in the apartment and Caleb's collection filling his room.
"Actually Sammy how would you feel about spending some time with Gibbs?" Tony asked leading Sam towards the elevator and mouthing to Caleb "Get rid of the magazine!"
"Really you mean it? I would love too! You don't think I would be in the way do you?" Sammy asked going a mile a minute as they stood in the elevator going upstairs and to the bullpen. The brothers made their way into the bullpen area and over to where the team where sitting at their desks working on some left over paperwork from John Winchester's case. It was McGee who looked up and saw Tony and Sam standing by the windows looking over the city.
"Tony what are you doing here; I thought you were going back to your apartment?" McGee asked going over to stand next to the brothers.
"There has been a slight change of plans; I was wondering if one of you would be willing to watch Sammy while I do some cleaning up at my place with Caleb. I have some things that need to be taken care of first." Tony said giving McGee a knowing look.
McGee gave him a slightly confused look then Tony mouthed "Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition."
"Got it of course we would all be happy to help you out. Me and Kate were just talking about coming over after we finished here to help you guys out. Even Abby and Ducky were going to come. Sorry about our reaction before but Gibbs talked to us and explained your side of the story just please don't keep us in the dark anymore. We are here for you Tony don't forget that." McGee said going over to take Sam by the hand.
"Yeah Tony we are your family too. Don't forget that." Kate said going over by McGee and Sam.
"Thank you guys I appreciate it. I need to get going Caleb's waiting for me down by the car." Tony said waving towards the group and walked into the elevator with the doors closing behind him.
"So Sam what would you like to do?" McGee asked.
"Could I have a tour?" Sam asked shyly looking down at his feet.
"We would be honored Sam we can start by going down to Abby's Lab I'm sure she would love to see you again." Kate said grabbing the small boy's hand. The group walked towards the elevator and rode it down to the Lab. When they exited the elevator they were greeted by ear splitting music coming from the Lab.
"This is Abby's lab where all the evidence from the crimes is analyzed and also where we can watch video from the crimes. Abby is our only Forensic specialist but Dr. Mallard helps her from time to time just like your brother and we do." McGee yelled over the music.
"Is it always this loud?" Sam yelled back as the group walked further into the room and stood behind Abby who was working on her computer.
"Unless she is sick or one of the team is sick." Kate replied.
"Then her and Dean will get along just fine he likes his music loud too." Sam added as he looked around. McGee and Kate looked at each other trying to picture quiet, sick Dean jamming out to loud music like Abby.
"How long until you think she notices we are here?" Sammy asked.
With that Abby swung around and startled the group by lunging towards them landing a giant hug on Sammy who had been stuck in shock. "Hey Sam my name is Abby. I know we didn't really get a chance to know each other before but I can tell we are going to be good friends." Abby said letting Sam go and reaching for her Caf-Pow.
"We were just going to see Ducky you want to come along?" McGee asked Abby who had turned to finish typing something into her computer.
"If you give me a minute I would love too." Abby said and she finished typing on her keyboard turning around to turn off her stereo and joined the group as they walked out the door.
Meanwhile Tony and Caleb had made it back to the apartment and had started cleaning it out.
Caleb made his way towards the refrigerator in hopes of finding a beer but instead found science experiments gone wrong. "WINCHESTER! Don't you eat anything; you got nothing but food poisoning waiting to happen!"
Tony came into the room with arms full of dirty clothes that he had found lying around the apartment, "Between helping you or Bobby with cases and working a full time job I don't really have a lot of time to clean," Tony gestured with his arms full of dirty laundry, "Or go grocery shopping."
"So what are we going to do with the collection of playboys? We don't want Sammy boy to find them. I could always take them and put them in my place in LA." Caleb said going to pick up the stack of magazines from the kitchen island.
"That's ok, Caleb. I'll just put them in my closet the boys shouldn't be going in there for anything." Tony said dropping the clothes to a pile on the floor and lunging for the magazines and grabbing them from Caleb.
"You know it really wouldn't be a problem for me to take them." Caleb said smiling and holding them above the younger man's head.
"Give em West." Tony yelled jumping up to retrieve the magazines.
"What is he giving you?" Gibbs asked walking in the door carrying an arm full of pizza and the bags that had been left in the back of his car.
"Umm nothing Boss." Tony said blushing and putting the magazines behind his back.
"I'll believe that when you aren't as red as a tomato. For being here 'cleaning' for as long as you have been you haven't really got that much done." Gibbs said taking in the open living room piled with empty take out containers and dirty clothes and turned towards the kitchen area that had just as much garbage in it.
"I got the bedrooms mostly emptied." Tony stuttered trying to come up with an excuse, "I think I got all my things hidden and taken care of. What about you Caleb?" Tony asked going over to pull a pair of pants off the back of the couch.
"I think I have still have some suits in the closet but Dean's taking that room right? So I shouldn't have too much to worry about he doesn't really have anything to hang up." Caleb said going into the living room to pick up the empty take out boxes from the coffee table.
"Hey Gibbs where is Sammy I would have thought he would be with you." Tony yelled over his shoulder making the pile of dirty clothes in the middle of the room even larger.
"McGee and Kate are showing him around the office. They said they would be here shortly with Ducky and Abby. They wanted to come and help clean up." Gibbs said going into the kitchen and looking to see what he could find. "Looks like we can use all the help we can get around here." Gibbs said moving towards the cupboard where he knew the coffee machine and coffee were stored and started a pot.
