About half an hour after they sat down Gibbs' hand closed slightly around their hands. Tony, Abby, and Ellie stood up, followed by McGee, Ducky, and Jimmy. Abby and Ellie were holding his hand firmly but gently. Ducky laid his hand over his elbow, Tony and McGee on his shoulder. McGee stood by his the head with his left arm around Abby. Gibbs shifted slightly, making him grunt and grimace. They gently tightened their hold on him, letting him know that they were there.
"Hey, Bossman, try not to move." said Abby, vrushing his hair back.
"Take it easy boss, we got ya." Tony calmly stated, Gibbs head turned towards him.
"Can you wake up for us, Jethro?" asked Ducky. His eyes fluttered slightly.
"Come on boss, you can do It." said McGee. His eyes fluttered again. He shifted slightly groaning.
"Gibbs, we can get meds if you wake up." said Ellie.
He took a slightly deeper breathe and gasped. Then he sighed after holding his breath for a few minutes. He tried to open his eyes again. They only fluttered slightly and he shifted again. He whimpering, ending in a moan.
"We realize the pain you are in, Jethro. We can get you relief is you wake up and go through some tests." said Ducky.
His eyes fluttered and cracked them open. They had turned the lights down. He racked his eyes over each of them. They each saw the moment he remembered what happened. His eyes cleared and he tried to sit up, only to gasp and fall back. He checked over Tony, Tim, and Ellie looking for any injuries.
"You guys okay?" he croaked out weakly. Everyone smiledand chuckled at his barely audible but clearly worried question. He looked around at them confused. "What?"
"You're just predictable in these situations boss." said McGee. He smiled back fractionally then turned serious.
"Injuries?" he asked.
"I sprained my wrist Gibbs" said bishop.
"And I twisted my right ankle and left wrist." Tony said.
"Two bruised fingers and a sprained right hand." McGee told him.
Gibbs looked at Ducky with a raised eyebrow, getting a nod and knowing smirk. Gibbs sunk into his pillows, wincing.
"Good, that's real good." He nodded slightly.
"Glad you're awake Gunny haven't seen you since the Gulf." The doctor said as he walked in.
"Hey, doc." Gibbs said.
"I know you prefer to get right to the point. You have four broken and three cracked right ribs, three hairline fractures on two left ribs. Your right collarbone is cracked, also a dislocated right shoulder, broken right forearm. And moderate to severe bruising along his right kidney, lung, and his stomach. Your abdomen is raw and cut up. Along with minor cuts and bruises along your entire rib cage. Do to the bruising to your stomach you'll need to eat soft foods for a week or two." He told Gibbs.
"How long?" Gibbs asked.
"You'll need to stay for at least a month and a half, but knowing you you'll escape the first chance you get." The doctor said, sharing a smirk.
"I have two options for your medication. One you get a shot of morphine every few hours or when your pain gets above six. However, knowing you Gunny you won't tell and you won't let them." Everyone agreed, smirking at his frown. "Or you get a Morphine pump that. As you know you control it, so do not tolerate it this time. One, so we know your levels and they can give pills when we release you to their care. (Gibbs sighed knowing he couldn't argue with the looks they gave him.) Second, they don't worry about your pain or exploding hearts from stress to your body."
"Get the one that will help you" Abby said.
"I agree, Jethro." Gibbs sighed and nodded. Everyone sighed in relief.
"Good I'll grab the pump." The doctor said. He hooked him up, handing ever the control button.
"You can order your own meals, made to order. I arranged for you all to be on the family meals. I know a family when I see one." He announced. They nodded.
They watched T.V. for a few minutes, silent for a few minutes, just relaxing. They heard Gibbs breathing become slow and slightly raspy. No-one looked aver, if something was wrong they had to make seem like know big deal.
"You okay, boss." Tony asked nonchalantly.
When he didn't respond, they smiled looked over. Gibbs had fallen asleep opened mouth, puffs coming out. His head was tilted slightly to the right, facing the T.V. still. They turned back to watch the movie.
