They slept for a good 7½ hours strait. Gibbs woke up with a grunt at 8 and everyone shushed him and he laughed, smirking. They woke up and smiled back. Gibbs sat up against the headboard and kissed Abby and Brenna on the forehead. He stretched his body, yawning loudly. He slumped back and blink, rubbing his eyes. He yawned louder than last time, stretching again, his back popped a few times. They laughed at his smile and pleased though tired groan at the three pops in his upper back, five in his mid and two in his low back.

"You awake now?" Tony asked laughing.

"Yep 'm 'wake"

"You sure you need to stretch again?" Abby asked smirking.

They laughed at their boss/dad's apparent relaxed wake up routine as he scooted around Brenna and Jimmy. He stood and walked into the bathroom, pausing and turned shutting the door, they laughed at the change of routine. He came out and got grey Marine sweats, black long sleeve shirt. They watched as he paused and picked up an old, faded shirt. They didn't get a good look at the shirt but saw Gibbs inhale the sent. They shared a confused look as Gibbs put it in the pile of clothes on his arm with a sad smile. Brenna and McGee scooted over until Brenna and Abby's shoulders were touching. He took a shower and came back to the room. He sat and tucked his left knee up, left side leaning against a few pillows. They understood when they saw him finish pulling the shirt down, they sadly smiled.

"Shannon bought it and Kelly made it. Before my last deployment, 'to have a piece of home', they told me."

"That's sweet." Abby said softly as smiled sadly.

Tony got him a glass of orange juice and his meds. She set the empty glass on the table an sat back down. They turned to the t.v. in his room (each room had one) and watched cartoons. An hour later Gibbs suddenly doubled over and groaned. The others grabbed him in shock as he started sliding and falling unto the floor; they sat him back against the bed. He had his knees to his chest and arms around his stomach. Tony and Ellie were on his sides, McGee and Abby on the other, Brenna by her and Jimmy, with Ducky by Ellie. He threw up a few seconds later, luckily Tony was ready. He set the bucket down as Gibbs groaned in pain.

"Boss?" Tony asked.

"Boss?" McGee asked a few seconds later.

"Dad" Jimmy said, getting Gibbs attention he looked up. "What's wrong?"

"Nauss-sia…vom…vom-iting…exh-haust-ion" he stuttered out painfully, slowly.

"Okay…s'ok we're gonna get ya to a hospital." Gibbs nodded.

He vomited some more and the ambulance arrive two hours later. They loaded Gibbs in and Ducky road with him when Gibbs eyes looked pained and panicked. The others followed. He was moaning and wiggling while trying not the move at the same time. As soon as they unloaded Gibbs they took him for scans afraid it was bleed of some sort. The others sat in the waiting room, impatiently wanting results. They periodically asked for an update but only getting an answer of 'still being scanned.

The Doctor walked out and git right to the point. "He doesn't have a bleed. We've given him charcoal and benzodiazepines, and IV fluids to replace what's been and may be lost."

"Charcoal?" Tony asked as the others looked confused exapt for Ducky and Abby who looked concerned.

"Ibotenic acid? Are you sure?" Abby asked.

"Yes but it seems to have been caught in time. When did the symtems start?"

They looked at their phones and watches and said at the same time, "40 minutes ago."

"Good we have caught it in time. This poison tends to start showing any were from 30-60 minutes after ingestion." They sighed in relief.

"Anything to watch out for?" McGee asked.

"Having caught it in time but it also being close to an hour he may have slight feelings of confusion, euphoria, hallucinations, feelings of floating, or very minor retrograde amnesia. However, even with his past amount of head injuries I am not worried with it being caught in time and all of the necessary medications on board. Any questions?" they shook their heads and he led them to Gibbs room. Gibbs was awake but very drowsy do to the effects of poison.

"Hey" Gibbs said softly.

They each hugged him gently in pure relief and getting one in return. They knew the suddenness of the pain and vomiting had scared him as much as not being able to control it. They sat with him. Tony and Ducky's chairs on the left were turned, facing the same way as the bed so the others could see. Jimmy, Brenna, Abby, and McGee were on separate couches laying down and cuddling. Ellie was in the chair to his right sitting the same way as Ducky and Tony. Gibbs fell asleep a few minutes later, completely relaxed with his family there to protect him. They watched and everyone fell asleep except the Two FBI agents standing outside.
