Gibbs woke up felling slightly better than he had been. It was probably because he hadn't puked all night. He opened his eyes and managed to sit up, struggling slightly. Ducky walked out of the bathroom and smiled as he put his legs over the edge. He used the dresser and stood up wobbling, only slightly. Ducky walked over to him and stood close to Gibbs as he walked into the bathroom. He changed and had a shower. When he walked out he was steady and gave Ducky a small smile. They walked out and the others smiled at his steady walk. He was still pale but his color was coming back, it was already about half way back.
"I take it you are feeling better, hmm" Ducky said smiling.
"Much, thank you."
They nodded back in a 'you're welcome', smiling. Jimmy and Brenna, Abby and McGee all sit cuddled on the couch under the window. Gibbs got his hugs and sat beside them in the recliner. Ducky sat in the other one. Tony and Bishop sat on the other couch, backs against the armrests and legs stretched not even close to touching. They were all sitting in their usual spots. Tobias walked in through the back door as had been decided so they wouldn't reach for their guns.
"Lookin good Jethro. I'm gonna get food from the diner, gonna take a lot of winding back streets. I'm gonna bring you all one muffin and cinnamon roll each. What else d 'ya want?"
"2 eggs, hash, ham, fruit, and toast" Ducky said.
"Farmers omelet, hash, bacon, fruit, and toast." Tony said.
"3 eggs, hash, sausage, fruit, and toast." Ellie said.
"2 eggs, hash, sausage, fruit, and toast." Abby said.
"Same" McGee said.
"Meat omelet, hash, sausage, fruit, and toast." Brenna said.
"Sounds good but a veggie omelet for me." Jimmy said.
"Meat omelet, hash, ham, fruit, and toast." Gibbs replied.
He wrote down everything they wanted as he looked from right to left. He left to go get food. As promised he brought them a muffin and cinnamon roll for each. He accepted his breakfast with an appreciative nod.
"Lainey's so good to us." He said.
"The best" Tony said.
"Gibbs you should drink at least half of your juice before your coffee. They chuckled as he rolled his eyes at Brenna. She gave him a pouty face and he melted, nodding at her.
"Thank you." She smiled at him in response, giving him a kiss.
He dug in, devouring his omelet, hash, ham, fruit, and toast. They were right there with them though he was understandably hungry. He also finished half his orange juice and picked up his coffee taking a good sized gulp. They laughed at his blissful look. They finished their food. They weren't surprised when Gibbs ate all of it. He leaned back as they took care of their empty plates. They sat down and he belched loudly. They all chuckled as he smiled.
"Nice one." Tony said.
"yup." He said, and then belched again.
"Oh, Jethro where are your manners." Abby said in her best Ducky voice.
Gibbs fake pouted, "I never learned."
"That's why you've been divorced three times." Tony said then, everyone but Ducky and Abby held their breath. Gibbs faked a blankly angery stare at him. They all waited for a slap or him to walk away. He looks at Ducky with a raised eyebrow, feigning a surprised look.
In a Mystified and confused voice he said, "All these years I thought it was because I was a bastard." He lost the fight and smirked ans he laughed, everyone joined in.
After they were done Tony looked at him, "You had me boss."
"Oh yeah thought you were gonna slap him." McGee chuckled.
"Na, it's been a while since a head slap. It'll be hard to start all over with a soft one…again." They all laughed again.
They relaxed and watched t.v., joking around. They just relaxed as a family and joked like one. They all love each other. They were happy that Gibbs was better. They had checked his temp several times; it never went over 100 even. They all enjoyed their time. For lunch they finished Abby's soup. They also had grilled chicken cheese. It had perfectly melted smoked provolone, mozzarella, and cut up strips of grilled chicken breast, from that night. They were enjoying it when a movie Gibbs liked came on. He stopped in mid conversation and turned the t.v. up.
"What" Abby questioned.
"It's Casa Blanca." He smirked at Tony's laugh.
They smiled as he, Tony, and McGee leaned back entranced in the movie, watching the movie with him. They smiled as Gibbs started saying all of Humphrey Bogart's, character Rick Blain's parts. Tony did Paul Henreid's aka the character Victor Laszlo parts. McGee did Claude Rains' Captain Louis Renault. Even Ellie joined in doing Ingrid Bergman's Ilsa Lund. Everyone laughed especially, as they all being started doing all of the action sounds. When someone was shooting they shot at each other. The others just cracked up. They enjoyed their time just being able to relax together.
