It had been about a week since DiNozzo had told everyone about his diagnosis, and he had been in the hospital for the last few days. He was getting his first treatment that day, but he still hadn't figured out how to tell his father. Abby finally told him she would skype him and ask him to put himself on the bone marrow registry, and explain why it was so important for him to do it. Abby was a little nervous about talking to him, but she knew that Senior needed to know and this was the closest they could get to telling him in person. She heard her computer bing indicating that he was ready to chat.

"Abby, my dear," Anthony DiNozzo Senior greeted. "You look beautiful as always."

"Thank you Mister D, I had no idea you knew how to use Skype."

"Junior taught me, never had to use it before though. You look very pale, are you sick my dear?"

"No, I'm not sick just a little drained is all."

"We could do this another time Abby."

"I'm drained cause of this, kinda."

"Is something wrong?"

She nodded. "I'm so sorry that I'm the one who has to tell you this Mister D. Tony's in the hospital and he needs you to do something for him."

"What happened? Was her hurt at work? Of course I'll do whatever he needs."

"No, he's not hurt, he's sick. We need you to get swabbed to see if you're a bone marrow match."

"Bone marrow?"

"Yeah, he's gonna need a bone marrow transplant when everything's done. Mister DiNozzo Tony has leukemia." Abby was fighting back tears telling him made it all seem so much more real. "He's been trying to figure out how to tell you since he found it, but he couldn't find the words so he asked me to tell you."

"Oh my God, of course I can get swabbed whatever he needs I'm there."

"Family is sometimes the best way to find a match, they're looking at the registry too everyone at NCIS got swabbed a few years ago, and I'm working on getting more people at the Navy yard to get swabbed too, I know we'll find a match for him, we have to."

"All right, I can do that Abby. I have some things I need to tie up here before I head out to see him. Tell him I'll visit as soon as I can."

"Okay, I will. I know he'll want to see you."

"What are his chances?"

"The doctors are saying they're good. They caught it very early and as long as they find a match he should be fine. There's risks of course but we're all trying to stay optimistic."

"All right I guess I just worry because of what happened to his mother."

"I understand that, but medicine has changed an awful lot since then you know that Mister D."

"I get that, I do, you're right, but he's still my only son."

"I understand we're all worried about him, but the doctors said his first treatment went well so that's promising."

"Junior has always been stubborn and I've seen him bounce back from a lot of things when the odds were against him."

"All the more reason to think he'll be fine even if we're all worried about him."

"Thank you for telling me Abby, I appreciate it a lot. Why didn't he tell me before he went into the hospital?"

"He said he didn't want to have to tell you he was going through the same thing as his mom did and scare you. Gibbs was going to tell you over the phone, but I thought this was better."

"Thank you." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm gonna let you go, okay? I'll see you when I get there."

"All right Mister D, I wish I was getting to see you for better reasons."

"Me too my dear, talk to you soon."

"All right, bye."

She ended the conversation, glad that the conversation had gone well. She wondered what he might have to do before he visited, but didn't question him. She knew that money could be tight and didn't want to offend him by offering to help even it meant him being away from his son longer. She was just glad he'd agreed to visit when he could make it happen.

Notes: All right that was that, Senior will be in a few parts in this fic. I hope you like it, let me know if you do.
