The drive to Stillwater, Pennsylvania will be a little over four hours after they left the safe hours. Gibbs and his family slept the entire ride. It was a peaceful sleep for them all because they were touching be it the couples laying together or feet touching legs or shoulders of said couples. When the adrenaline high dropped they descended into a light slumber, too tired to even dream. The FBI agents figured that it was better that way because you can't have nightmares if you don't dream.
"We should arrive in about ten minutes" the driver said.
"Should we wake 'em up?" the man in the passenger seat asked Tobias.
"I'll wake Jethro" he told them.
Tobias walked into the back of the van through the small door, quietly. He walked up to Gibbs and sat by his legs, facing the back doors. He lightly and non-threateningly touched Gibbs right wrist. His forearm was on his bent right knee. Gibbs slowly opened his bleary eyes. He almost frantically looked around his family to check their safety. When he realized they were alright he stretched and yawned. When he saw that his family were all still deeply asleep and saw a relaxed Tobias sitting by him he relaxed back, leaning back and blinked some.
"We'll be there in 8 minutes" He said checking his watch.
"Kay" Gibbs groggily said, clearing his throat.
"Should we wake the others?" He asked. Gibbs looked at each of them and smiled at their relaxed faces.
"Na, let 'em be till we're officially there, they need the rest. No one's gonna sleep well tonight." Tobias nodded with a knowing grin.
When they arrived Gibbs woke up McGee with a gentle hand on his bicep. McGee rapidly opened his eyes but relaxed seeing it was only Gibbs. Gibbs nodded and woke Tony the same way. McGee woke up Abby with a kiss and hug. Tony woke Jimmy who woke Brenna with many kisses. Gibbs woke up Ellie with pat on the shoulder, and a brief side hug. He walked into his old house through the store and upstairs. As Gibbs pointed them to their rooms they set their bags just inside the door.
"We're here" Gibbs smiled.
"There are four quest rooms, my old one, and my dad's. Tony, Ellie you'll be in the rooms by the stairs."
"My rooms in the middle on the right, McGee and Abbs you'll be across from me." They nodded.
"If you don't mind duck you can have the back left, dad's old room. Jimmy and Bree you're across from duck." Gibbs helped Brenna and Duck set their stuff down.
"I don't mind at all you know how I am with death, besides he didn't die there." Ducky retorted.
"Laundry room's through there. Anything you need to wash, you can either wash it yourself or come and get me. " he said pointing to the back room, getting nods.
After they got their clothes and toothbrushes put away in their rooms, they were led into the kitchen, showed them were the cups, plates, bowls, and silverware were placed. Then they settled into the living room. They turned the t.v. to Family Guy all sharing a small smile. They settled into the one large pullout couch. Jimmy and Brenna were on Gibbs left, with McGee and Abby to his left. Ducky was on the only recliner on the left corner of the room, and Ellie and Tony on the small two-seater.
"What do you want for dinner?" Tobias rolled his eyes at their shrugs.
"How about omelets" Brenna asked and everyone nodded.
"All meat?" Tobias asked and they nodded.
They ate well and went to bed slightly early, 9. They slept slightly restlessly except for Gibbs, his sleep was rocky and he woke up about every hour to an hour and a half. When he woke up he would toss and turn. At about one the others were restless and walked out of their rooms together when they heard Gibbs mumbles grow in volume very slightly. They walked in and sat next to him on the bed: McGee and Abby on the left side of his head with Jimmy and Brenna on the right. Tony was by his left knee, Ellie was by his left hip, and Ducky was by Gibbs right hip. Brenna smoothed his hair back and they talked soothingly.
"No…not them…want…me…don't hurt…'em."
"Hey…hey now, we're fine boss." Tony said. Gibbs stopped for just a moment before he started wiggling and fighting against invisible restraints.
"We're safe dad and so are you" Brenna said. His struggles slowed to mere flinches and small kicks.
He whimpered and murmured, "No…not them…don't hurt 'em."
"We're fine…were in Stillwater" McGee said.
Gibbs stopped struggling, they lightly touch his knee, hair or shoulders, he completely relaxed and the creases on his face evened out and he peacefully fell asleep. They smiled at each other and laid down by him, the couples reclined with pillows under their backs. There was a small couch in his room that Tony and Ellie laid down feet by heads, hips a few inches away from each other. Ducky was in a recliner. They all fell back to sleep, completely comfortable and feeling safe.
