Aftermath
The surgeon walks into the waiting room. "The family of Caitlin DiNozzo" Everyone jumps up causing him to take a step back smiling. "Okay, let's narrow it down to Just the parents," Tony and Ziva walk over to the young surgeon who had dark brown hair and Clark kent glasses. "We are her parents. How is she?" Tony asks, with Ziva on his side.
The surgeon looks around the room to see everyone's eyes on him. "Hello, I'm doctor Clarkson, Your daughter is stable. She had internal bleeding, a piece of glasses punctured the right side of her chest. She fractured her costals 5-7 which made a small puncture wound in her left lung. She has lost a lot blood, and her right leg was several damage..."The doctor explains causing everyone's eyes to widen full of fear.
the doctor takes a deep breath. "She's on a ventilator...Has a Doctor, she's against some incredible odds, and I can't guarantee she will be alright, The next 24 is critical, if she doesn't improve..I'll give a week max."Ziva grabs Tony's hand. Tony gives it a gentle squeeze.
" but, not has a doctor, From what I've seen in my operating room, She's a fighter and I won't be surprised that she does cartwheels all the way home. "He says, with a smile, causing everyone to bring back their hope. "You may see her, She's been moved to her own room...I'll turn my back and pretend that I didn't see twenty people sneaking into the room, when it's just two at a time" He says with a smile before walking away.
Aftermath
Tony grabs kate's hand, she had been out of surgery for a day. She had been approving causing the doctor to smile, that he wasn't a liar and to wonder what the heck she was made of. "Come on, Ninja wake up...I need to see my..."He was cut off by his wife placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, I thought you were asleep" She gives him a weak smile. "I was. I had a dre...I just needed to see her," Tony gets up wrapping his arms around her.
"She's fine" Ziva nods tears in her eyes, She rests her head against his chest while he soothes her.
"She will be okay, Zee, I Promise"She pulls away with a little smile.
"She had a harder fight coming into the world." Tony nods "and look she's way over thirty days, Zee. They can't Timestamp her, she's a fighter that's all they can say" Ziva smiled turning to her daughter.
"Did you talk to McGee" Tony nods "Yeah, the twins are fine...They're just a little scared but the McGee's are taking care of them. McGee and Abby will bring them in the morning, and everyone else will be stopping by."
Ziva nods, looking at the empty chair "When did gibbs go home" He shakes his head. "He didn't he went to get coffee." Ziva gives a little smile.
Kate's eyes starts to flicker open, she looks around, the clock reading 12;00. She looks at her parents while trying to breath on her own causing her to choke.
Tony and Ziva eyes falls on their daughter, tears rolling down their cheeks. Tony runs for a Doctor, while Ziva gets by her side. "Relax little one, your abba-leh, is getting the doctor." The doctor runs in with Tony.
"Well, Hello Catlin, do you want to try to breathe on your own" She blinks a few times in a way of saying yes get the damn mask off of me.
The doctor smiles taking off the mask. Her throat felt like an inferno . Her breathing was rapid, until she got control of it. She starts to calm down, her breathing returns to normal.
She licks her dry lips. Tony get her some water and helps her drink some. the cool liquid soothing her throat.
"Thank you, daddy" She says rasping, looking around. They were gone, her aunts. her crazy uncle. her grandparents, Kelly, Shannon, her husband and Daughter.
She looks at her father and mother while the doctor checked her vitals. "very good, thank you for not making a liar out of me" The doctor says smiling.
"Where is Alex, IS he okay" She asks, swallowing hard. "He's fine just minor injuries he was able to go home the same day." Kate smiled "good..." She cuts herself off when see's Gibbs walking in with two cups of coffee.
"I hope one of those are for me" She say, Gibbs gives a smile. "Caitlin..."the doctor was cuts off by kate's muzzle scream, she bites her lip, having sharp pains in her chest. The doctor goes over giving her something for the pain,
she starts to relax. "Thank you, I have a feeling that was your question. "He nods "Yep," He says with a smile. " I can't feel my legs.." He cuts in to stop her from panicking.
"it's temporary. I had to gave you something to paralyze you from the waist down to help the nerves heal, it should wear out in a few hours...Your right leg took quite a beating, I was able to well put it back together, It will be back to it's old self, but" Kate stares at the doctor a little scare, Tony grabs her hand.
" It will have pain, if you overwork it, So I suggest you to take it easy, and It's obvious, you're a runner …"kate gives a little smile.
"Not to be on track anymore. right" He gives a nod. "you can still run. but if you over do it" Kate nods "I understand, but I will be able to " He nods.
"Technology came along way, if it was a few years ago" Kate gives a weak smile. "Bye Bye leg, right" He gives a weak smile.
"Yes, but hey I won't be surprised if you win gold because from what I seen when It comes to you labels to normal situations do not apply"Kate smiles.
" Thank you, i have a hard time breathing" The doctor smiles "You have a few fracture ribs, one of which punctured your lung. It was small, so it's just going to hurt while it heals and make it a tad difficult to breathe, but if it gets too difficult we'll start you on a breathing treatment." She nods smiling.
"Thank you, Doctor..."he smiles "Clarkson, I let you spend some time with your family, I'll be back a little later to check your wound, and redressed it. " Kate gives a little smile.
"I hope you're buying me dinner first" The doctor laughs walking out of the room. While Tony and Gibbs stare at her.
"What..."Ziva smiled kissing her daughter on the forehead.
"Nothing, they're just glad to see you're okay." Kate smiles "I know, How long have I been at the reunion for" kate asks causing the three to stare at her with concern eyes.
She smiles "I mean how long have I been under"Tony smiles kissing her forehead. "Long enough to make me misses that smile and you're eyes"Kate smiles.
"I wasn't going anywhere, and daddy that could mean an hour" Tony laughs. "A day Ninja" she nods staring at her family. her little bit of heaven on earth.
"Everyone..."Ziva smiles "they'll be here in the morning, " Kate nods "Alex he..."Ziva smiled "he left a few hours ago, Visitors time was over.., He's been here waiting to see if you were okay"Kate look over at the two. "You been behaving" Tony and Gibbs sigh.
"Kate..."Kate cuts him off. "It wasn't his fault, there was nothing he could have done..."Tony was on one side of her while gibbs was on the other, they kiss her respectful cheek causing her to giggle.
"We didn't blame him"Tony says, "We didn't hurt him either, we been good"Gibbs says causing Kate smile.
Aftermath
Tony and Gibbs had went to get some coffee and tea, while Kate kind of used her puppy dog eyes and her pouting lip, to get them to leave, causing her mother to laugh, at the way they jumped up at her request.
Ziva was running her fingers through her daughter's hair. "How's my face" Ziva smiled, her daughter faces was covered with bruises and cuts, but to be honest she was still beyond beautiful.
"Beautiful has always." Kate smiles "That bad, Huh" Ziva shakes her head kissing her forehead. "No, like i said you're beautiful little one" Kate smiles staring at her mother.
"Ima-leh, I met Aunt Tali," She says, her mother smiles "you dreamt about her" Kate shakes her head.
"It was more than a dream, I met her, She wanted me to tell you, you were the best out of all of them. That uncle ari wasn't your fault. He was gone long before that day...Uncle Ari, doesn't even blame you, you did what you had to. To save grandpa, and everyone" She says softly causing her mother to stare at her shock.
'Did Tony tell her, Did Gibbs...no' She swallows hard. "Little one, I know what you must think of me what I..." Kate cuts off her.
"This changes nothing, Ima-leh, it's not who you are. You need to forgive yourself for his death, because no else is blaming you...Your past we never make me change how I feel about you, Ima-leh your sins will never be too deep." She says, causing her mother to stare at her tears threatening to fall.
"Because you have always been there for me, and you're amazing person, who took a hand that broke your heart. That haunts you every day to save a stranger life when it was easier to look the other away. you save grandpa, and you pay for it everyday. That's not a killer Ima-leh, that's someone who couldn't let an innocent person die, even when she knew saving him would crush her. I just see a woman who misses her brother...My Ima-leh who comforts me when I'm scared that is all I see when I look at you like I always have" She says tears clouding her eyes.
Ziva smiled wiping her tears.
"I was right, and so was your Abba-leh when we said you were the sign we were forgiven for our sins, I love you little one" She wraps her arms around her daughter, kate holds her tight not caring the pain that she was in.
"Ani tamid ohav otach" She says, Her mother smiled stroking her hair. "Does she look like she did in the picture"
Kate smiles "Yes, she was beautiful, not surprising she's related to us" Ziva giggles pulling away, Kate wipes her mother's tears away. "She loves you, and she likes dad, she said he was perfect for you"her mother smiles. "I believe that's true, and you and the twins are proof of that" Kate smiles while her mother clears the tears from her eyes.
Tony and Gibbs walks back in. "Why, are you crying, Ninja ?" Tony asks, his wife turns to face him her eyes red.
"Okay, what's wrong..." Kate cuts him off. "Nothing, I think it's finally set right" Ziva smiled at her daughter.
"I think so, is that my tea" Tony nods holding it by his shoulder. "Yes, now tell me why you two are crying. " Kate shakes her head.
"Maybe us DiNozzo's are to nosing, " She mumbles causing Gibbs and Ziva to smile. "You think short stack," Kate smiles "Nah, is that for me" Gibbs smiled handing her the coffee, he kisses her forehead, " what happen why..."Kate smiles "Don't start picking up those bad habits..." She says causing gibbs to smile.
"Nothing, Grandpa, me and Ima-leh was just having a little talk, that's all you know about me Develop..."Gibbs raises a hand while Tony was trying to cover his ears.
Ziva laughs. "I guess, we can just leave that conversation between me and Ima-leh" Kate says with a wicked smile before taking a sip of coffee satisfied.
Aftermath
Tony covers his wife who fall asleep on the chair, Kate kept on telling them to go home and get some rest but they wouldn't budge from her side. Gibbs had gone home for the Night after she asks nicely, when that didn't work she gave him a Gibbs stare, and something about revealing the secret about the boat. he just smiled kissed her on the cheek, and said he be back in a few hours, to let Tony and Ziva go home to get cleaned up and he'll stay with her.
Tony takes a seat on the side of the bed. he gives a thankful smile. She opens her eyes. "Daddy, get some sleep." She says softly, causing him to smile.
"That's my line. I am the Daddy remember" She nods. "I know but it's kind of hard to sleep when someone is staring at you" Tony gives apologetic smile. " Sorry, Just..." Kate cuts him off. "I'm not going anywhere, besides I know you hate hospitals... You know Grandma's sorry and She's proud of what you've become, She was just..."Tony cuts her off.
"I know, Ninja, I am not mad at her. If that's why you think I don't ..." Kate shakes her head.
"No, I know it's hard for you, like it's hard for Ima-leh to talk about her family, but I do want to know about her, more then what I know now...Like what was with the sailor uniform, and why do you cringe whenever someone mentions the silver war." Tony sighs, Shaking his head.
"Your mom hasn't told you anything about this..."Kate gives a innocent smile. "She mention a couple of things, but I love it when you tell me stories, it's always different than everyone else" Tony chuckles kissing her forehead.
"Tomorrow, I promise Tonight it's time to get some sleep."She smiles "I love you daddy, I'm glad I am back" She says closing her eyes causing her father to stare at her confused.
"Love you too, Ninja forever and always,and you never leaving me again you hear" He says causing a little grin form on her lips, He smiles while looking at the little piece of Heaven, God had blessed him with. The Future was unknown, but one thing's for sure she would be in it, and that's all he cared about.
Aftermath
Kate wakes up to find her grandfather taking a sip of his coffee. "Hey, you should've woken me up "Kate says, while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
Gibbs gives a smile. "You need your rest" Kate smiles. "IS that a nice way to say I need my beauty sleep. "Gibbs kisses her forehead. "Anymore of that, and Mine nor your Father's gun will be enough to stop the boys in their tracks" She smiles broadly.
"Do you wonder what she would be like at my age. How would you held scaring the boys away, that tried to date The Gibb's Daughter" She asks, He takes a slow sip, before nodding.
"Image, she would be like you, Independent, Strong willed, and beautiful, that would make any guy fall...and She would stop me from using my Kate like you did, but It will still cross my mind" Kate smiles" are you glad you're here...I mean," He takes her hand smiling.
"I miss them yes, but It's not my time. Rule Eight" She stares at her hand that was in her grandfather's reminding her when she had her fist wrapped around his finger.
"Never take anything for grant" he smiles " yes, and I was given a second chance to get to see a little girl who wrapped her whole fist around my finger to grow up, into a beautiful young woman, who is becoming someone extraordinary." Kate smiles her eyes a little clouding with tears.
"and I'll be taking that for grant if I wanted to leave, when I have a chance to see it all happen" Kate smiles wriggling her finger from him to come closer, He leans in she places a kiss on his cheek.
"A simple yes, would have done, but I'll be lying if I said I wished you didn't say that...Even though people won't believe you said all that. They think you only speak in a 100 Characters" She teases causing him to smile shaking his head.
"Short stack what am i going to do with you" She smiles "Love me, feed me, and never leave me... possibly Build a boat with me" He smiles.
"Once you get out, " She smiles "You're going to help me with therapy, right I heard having a drill sergeant helps" She says causing him to smile. "I'll be there, I always will" Kate smiled, taking his coffee from him and taking a sip of it.
Aftermath

"Gremlins, Don't touch" They give their uncle a innocent smiles, Dylan was 8 and Aiden was 9 which makes them more prone to thinking that the machine was a video game.
"They, Won't daddy right my little gremlins" the nod with a evil smirk.
"Sydney, please control them" She says. Sydney nods, she had her mothers blond hair, that was up in a messy ponytail. with her father's crystal blue eyes.
"Thank you, your my favorite" She says before she feels hayden shake her a little "Me favorite" She smiles kissing his forehead.
"Yes, Buddy, I would take you anywhere" He smiles, resting his head on her chest which was putting pressure on her wound.
"Hayden honey, No remember" He picks up his head remembering what his mother was talking about.
"Me sorry, no hurt" She shakes her head. "I'm fine" She says before looking up to see ALex and His parents. She smiles "Wow, I want your luck next time" She says smiling, he gives a little smile.
"How you feeling, " She smiles "Like i was run over by a truck, but according to my family, it was a SUV" She says causing his smile to fade.
"Tough crowd who died." His eyes turn serious, Alex's dad place a hand on his son's shoulder. "No one, lets be grateful for that, I'm glad to your okay..." Kate smiles " So when can you escape this place" She smiles at the admiral, while her eyes flicker to her boyfriend.
" A Few days, Admiral, hello miss Johnson" Alex mother smiles "Hi Sweetie, I'm glad your okay" Kate smiles "It takes more than a little old SUV to knock down a DiNozzo" She says smiling, Alex forces a smile.
"Umm...Hey, can I..."Ziva smiled "Hey, why don't we go get some coffee" A.J sighs in a Doctor coat.
"Why, all they want to do is..." Abby places a hand over his mouth leading him and the rest of the kids out. Gibbs sighs before following McGee who was being dragged out by his wife. Tony remains seated, Breana takes Hayden who was pouting all way of the room. Ziva grabs her husband arm dragging him along out behind everyone. Until the two were left alone.
"Hey, what's going on, why are you so serious" She asks with a little smile. "Why do you choose to treat this like a joke" He retaliates,
she sighs "Because Alex, Life gives you a bad hand, why let it keep you down, because my family make themselves moving targets everyday. You take it one day at a time, if you don't... you turn out to be well you, " He shakes his head.
"Kay, you weren't the one watching..." She grabs his hand pulling him closer to her. "Hey, from where i was standing it was no picnic" he gives a weak smile.
"I'm here , and you're fine at the end of the day that's all that matters, and if we can make little jokes out something, that scared the hell us, I will. You can't be scare of something that makes you laugh" He takes a seat on the side of the bed. brushing her hair behind her ear, with his one good arm.
"I'm sorry, I should have..." She signals him to come closer, when he was in range, she sends a gibbs slap upside his head.
"It wasn't your fault, so stop blaming yourself, and Alex" He smiles "yes ma'am " She smiles "You aced your final" He stares at her weird face before smiling.
He leans in kissing her gently on the lips, really holding his weight on his one arm, which was a lot harder than he thought. She places her hand on his cheek, they rest their forehead together.
