"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 and organize the place." 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.
2/24/13: Just doing minor editing and grammar checks.
After Gibbs started the pot of coffee he decided that he should probably see what he could help with.
"Tony? Caleb? What do you want me to do?" Gibbs yelled through the apartment looking for the two younger men.
"Could you help me move the beds in here? I need to vacuum the rooms and make them look semi presentable for the twerps. This place hasn't been cleaned in awhile." Caleb yelled from what would be Sammy's bedroom.
"I would have never guessed." Gibbs mumbled and then shouted, "Ok I'll be right there."
Gibbs returned to the large living room here he had seen a vacuum cleaner buried underneath some clothes and shook the clothes off and took it to the room that he thought he heard Caleb yelling from.
Gibbs walked into the room and was surprised at how clean it was. There was an empty bed in the center of the room with a dresser and an empty closet.
"Where did you want to move the furniture? We could move it into the hallway." Gibbs suggested walking over to the bed.
"Sounds good. Let me call Tony in and have him help us." Caleb said then walked to the door and yelled for him, "Tony get your ass in here we need your help!"
Tony came into the room with his hair full of dust looking slightly disheveled and walked over to the corner of the bed to help pick up the mattress.
"Should I even ask?" Gibbs said picking up the other side of the mattress nodding to Tony's disheveled appearance.
"Let's just say I need to do more cleaning; this was from the top of my closet." Tony said and the two men picked up the mattress chuckling and walked it into the hallway and quickly followed suit with the box spring and Caleb carrying the dresser. The men made quick work of the bedroom and did the same for Dean's room. The group had just decided to sit down for a coffee break and were clearing a spot in the still untouched living room to sit when Gibbs moved the bag containing all the weapons and dropped it on the ground where it landed with an unceremonious thud.
"What do you have in here Tony; bricks? It didn't feel that heavy." And before Tony or Caleb could say anything Gibbs set down his coffee and unzipped the bag to find guns of every size along with knives and many other weapons. "What the HELL! Care to explain this to me Winchester?"
"Well um you know how I said that we hunted things? Well you kind of need weapons to do that and these are some of the ones we use." Tony said sheepishly going over to take care of the weapons bag.
"Some as in you have more than this arsenal and your brothers have access to these?" Gibbs asked sitting down on the couch shocked at the revelation.
"Well Sam hasn't gone on any hunts yet he has only done training. But Dean yeah he has been hunting since he was 7. He loves to shoot. Truthfully he could probably outshoot you if given the chance he is a natural with guns and knives really any type of weapon." Tony said going to sit on the chair across from the couch while Caleb went to pick at the pizza that was growing cold in the kitchen.
"You mean to tell me that your brother has been shooting these weapons and practicing with dangerous weapons since he was 7? You know the more I hear about your childhood the more I think your father was a stupid son of a bitch who had no right raising you kids!" Gibbs said getting up from his spot on the couch and began to pace the room, "What business did he have ruining Dean's childhood? Even you and Sammy had a normal childhood. Why did that poor boy have to suffer?"
Gibbs walked across the room and suddenly the anger became too much and he threw his coffee mug against the wall watching it shatter and send coffee across the white paint of the living room wall. When he realized what he had done he went to sit back on the couch while Caleb came in with a towel and trash can to take care of the mess while Tony sat down next to Gibbs.
"You haven't known the boys more than a day and you're already throwing things around and being all protective of them. Why?" Tony asked as he settled himself on the couch.
"It seems that ever since Kelly was taken from me any time I see a parent just take their kids for granted it angers because I will never be able to raise Kelly and I would give anything to have a chance with her. I just don't understand how someone can take something so precious and abuse them. And they don't even realize how quickly things can change and everything they care about can be taken away from them in the blink of an eye. " Gibbs said in a rare moment of sharing. The man hardly ever shared anything personal unless he had too much bourbon by his boat.
"You know Boss that I won't let anything happen to the boys' right? I also know that with you and the rest of the team and my friends Dean and Sam will be the safest and happiest kids in the country. I don't think we have much to worry about, at least once we get Dean better." Tony said trying to reassure Gibbs.
"I know Tony, I know." Gibbs said leaning back against the couch with Tony and Caleb joining them. The silence that had filled the apartment was soon interrupted by Sam barging through the door followed by the rest of the team.
"Hey guys. Wow it doesn't look like you got much done." Sam said going over to sit by Tony.
"Just means we left more for you." Tony teased ruffling his brother's hair.
"What? You can't do that!" Sam said with a look of horror crossing his face. Everyone else just looked at the brother's interaction and smiled.
"Come on squirt grab your stuff and I'll show you your room." Tony got up and Sam grabbed his duffel bag and Tony grabbed Dean's to throw in his room on their way through.
Once the boys had walked down the hallway Abby asked the question they had all been dying to know. "Is that all of his stuff? You mean that little boy only as what is in that one duffel bag?" Abby said with tear filled eyes.
"Yeah the other duffel bag is Dean's. Most of the stuff in Dean's is either overflow from Sam's bag or stuff of his Dad's that was in danger of being left behind during their numerous moves." Caleb said coming out from the kitchen where he had gone to start up the stove to reheat the pizzas.
"Who are you?" Abby asked getting defensive of Tony and the little boys.
"This is Caleb. Caleb this is Abby, Kate, Tim, and Ducky." Gibbs said gesturing to each member of his team.
"Nice to me y'all me and Bobby are good friends of the Winchesters, have been ever since they got into hunting." Caleb elaborated as he was still getting wary looks from the team. Soon Tony and Sam came back from their trip back to Sam's new room.
"McGee, Ducky come see my new room. It looks really cool; I have never had my own room before! There is even room for bookcases and a desk!" Sam said going over to grab the two men by the hand and dragged them to see his new room.
"Are you sure you two are related?" Kate said picking a dirty sock off the arm of the chair with two fingers and a look of disgust on her face flinging it to the pile of dirty clothes before she sat down.
"You won't have a doubt in the world once you get to know Dean. Sam seems to have gotten the geek gene or something. Not quite sure happened." Tony said shaking his head but was wearing a huge smile.
"You know if it is ok with Tony maybe this week I can take you to the library to get a library card and some books to read. " McGee suggested as the group walked down the hallway.
Before Tony knew what was happening he had a bundle of Sammy sitting on his lap begging him to let McGee take him to the library.
"I'll see Sammy; maybe once we get back from South Dakota McGee can take you or maybe if you ask Ducky nicely he would go with you." Tony said looking down at Sam knowing already what Ducky's answer would be.
"Would you Ducky? Would you, Would you?" Sam begged jumping up and down in front of the older man unleashing his puppy dog eyes.
"I would absolutely love to young man." Ducky said and then Sam's stomach let out a rumble that had everyone turning to look at the 10 year old.
"I guess this would be a good time to get supper ready. Want to help me Sammy?" Caleb asked walking towards the kitchen.
"I'm coming. Do you want to hear about the last prank I pulled on Dean? It was a good one even got Dad laughing." Sam called as he scampered after Caleb.
"So what's this business about going to South Dakota?" Abby asked getting right down to business.
"That is where we are having my Dad's funeral and I was going to ask you guys if you would be willing to come for support?" Tony asked looking at everyone.
The group took a moment to look at each other in silent discussion and finally nodded their heads, "We would love to Anthony it would be our honor." Ducky answered on behalf of the group.
"Thank you." Tony said getting up from his chair and looking around the room. "So I guess we should probably get to work." He grabbed the last of the stray dirty clothes in the living room and threw them with the rest of the dirty clothes that had been found. Tony then walked to the washer in the hall closet and started the first of many loads of laundry.
The group continued to clean until the late hours of the night and finally finished around two in the morning. Everyone had decided to crash at the apartment for the night seeing as it was still snowing pretty hard outside. Ducky took Dean's room while everyone else crashed in the living room on the couch and chairs. Sam went to his new bedroom where he fell asleep almost immediately and Tony went to his room where he lay awake for awhile before he fell into an uneasy sleep.
Tony woke up in the morning to see Sammy lying next to him with his stuffed dog that he had had since Tony had gotten it for him when he left to go to college. Tony quietly got up making sure not to disturb his brother and made his way to the bathroom and then to the kitchen where he started the coffee. Standing in the kitchen he looked at the clock and noticed it was after 8 in the morning and decided to give Bobby a call.
Tony went into Sam's room and sat on the bed with his cell phone in hand and dialed Bobby's number. The phone rang a couple times and was about to go to voice mail when Bobby answered.
"What!" Bobby yelled sounding stressed and more then a little harried.
"It's just me Bobby. What's going on?" Tony asked worried.
"Well the good news is Dean's fevers gone down and his breathing as improved enough where they can release him with orders of bed rest for awhile. But Dean still ain't talking and Dr. Pitt isn't happy with that. He is trying to get me to let him send Dean to the pysch ward. I'm trying my best but he is putting up a hell of fight." Bobby said sounding angry.
Tony sat in shock for a minute before he responding, "Bobby hold him off a little longer I'll be there in a bit." Tony said as he hung up the phone. Running to get dressed in a casual pair of jeans, NCIS sweatshirt and sneakers. He ran past the kitchen writing a quick note and grabbed his keys and left the apartment towards the garage and into his Mustang. Thanks to the new layer of snow the roads were a little bit more slippery then usual but weren't too much trouble for Tony.
Twenty minutes later Tony was parking in the Bethesda parking lot and running up to Dean's room just in time to hear Bobby yell at one of the nurses.
Tony walked into the room to see Bobby standing protectively over Dean and the scared nurse was edging back towards the door and Dean was crying silently in the bed.
"Excuse me Miss? Could you send Dr. Pitt in here I would like to have a word with him." Tony asked the nurse before she had the chance to escape. His only answer was a slight nod and she was gone.
Tony walked over to Dean's bed and sat down next to his brother rubbing his arms trying to calm him down.
"What happened Bobby?" Tony asked determined to get to the bottom of things.
"I don't know. I woke up around six and Dean was already awake and crying. I thought maybe he didn't feel good so I called in the Doctor to see if they could give him something for the pain but he just insisted on asking Dean what was wrong. When they didn't get an answer they didn't give him anything and wanted to send him to the pysch ward. Then you called." Bobby said going over to sit by his two boys.
Just then walked into the room and saw Tony, "It is good to see you Tony. I was having a little bit of trouble with your Uncle earlier. I think Dean needs som-"
Tony cut him off mid sentence, "I would like the discharge papers. Dean's coming home with me now."
"But Mr. DiNozzo he needs help." continued.
"He will be fine at home with me. We just lost out father and I would like to get him home as soon as possible. The discharge papers." Tony said with a tone that didn't leave room for argument.
The Doctor nodded his head understanding that he wouldn't win this fight and left the room coming back quickly with the papers for Tony to sign.
Dr. Pitt looked over the papers one last time before looking back to Tony, "His medicine should be ready to be picked up in the pharmacy on your way out. I really need to insist that I think that Dean needs some serious help. It's not normal to shut down like this. I will have Shirley come in with a wheel chair to take you outside." said as he left the room.
Bobby pulled out the bag of Dean's clothes from the bedside side cabinet, "Tony why don't you help your brother with his clothes and I'll go and pick up the medicine and take the car to the apartment and let everyone know Dean is coming home."
"Sounds good to me Bobby. Could you pick up something for breakfast? I don't have any food at home except a couple of leftover slices of pizza from last night." Tony asked pulling back the hospital issue blanket that was on top of Dean.
"Sure I can do that. See you back at the house." Bobby said waving and walked out of the room.
"Well it looks like it is just you and me now kiddo. Me, Gibbs and Caleb got your room all cleaned up for you it's not much but this way you can decorate it anyway you want. I bet you are excited you haven't had your own room in such a long time I bet you don't even remember what it is like do you?" Tony babbled on as he helped Dean into the scrubs he had worn in the day before seeing as Tony had forgotten to grab something in his hurry. Just as Tony finished putting the socks and shoes on Shirley came in with the wheel chair.
"I'm here for Dean Winchester." Tony helped Dean into the chair and they made their way to the lobby of the hospital where Tony bent down to Dean's level and told him he was just going to get the car and would be right back. Dean just sniffled in return rubbing his hand over his eyes to wipe away the remaining tears.
Minutes later Tony was parked in front of the door and Shirley helped him get Dean into the car and the brothers were off.
And before they knew it they were back at the apartment building, "Welcome to your new home Dean." Tony greeted as he led the way across the parking garage and towards the building and stopped at the doors of elevator. Getting into the elevator they rode up to the apartment in silence except for the wheezing breaths of Dean.
As they exited the elevator Tony noticed Dean becoming a little winded and was weaving some as he walked. Tony picked up his brother just as he a done the day before. Once Dean was safely in Tony's arms he walked to his apartment and was about to unlock it when it was swung open.
The scene that greeted him was priceless and heartwarming the ladies were in the in the kitchen with Caleb working on some breakfast. Everyone else sat in the living room watching on the big screen Saturday Morning Cartoons as Sammy run and launched himself into the couch so he wouldn't miss anymore of cartoon.
"Welcome home Dean." Bobby said from his spot on the couch.
