Tony discarded his empty coffee cup in the trash can by Gibbs's desk. He looked around the bullpen at his teammates. Bishop looked exhausted they must have gotten in late last night. Gibbs looked a little off. Tony chuckled at the prospect of his Boss having too much to drink over the weekend. He was relieved that McGee looked energetic and had a smile on his face. The last time he had spent the weekend with Delilah he was exhausted and depressed the following Monday morning.
"Good morning everybody." Tony greeted.
"Morning Tony!" McGee called happily.
"Morning" Bishop mumbled.
"Morning DiNozzo. Try not to offer Bishop the doom and gloom you told Palmer about the other night" Gibbs replied.
"What?" Bishop asked.
"I may have told Jimmy about how Breena could die or be permanently disabled. Because uh it's happened before." Tony explained.
"Well maybe Breena has the same luck as you." McGee offered.
"I hope so." Tony replied.
Jimmy looked around autopsy just to be sure that Ducky really was gone and not hiding somewhere. Once he was sure he was alone. He withdrew his phone from his pocket and called Breena. He had planned to talk to her the night before but she was so exhausted when she got back. She just tossed him the Burger King she had brought him and went to sleep the rest of the night.
"Hello Breena?"
"Jimmy is everything alright?"
"It's fine. Do you remember what we talked about the other night?"
"Jimmy I am so tired and I have to work."
"About Tony and Emily."
"Oh right well if you want to set them up let's do it."
"I think we should they are perfect for each other and He has been so depressed since Ziva left."
"They are a lot alike but remember that one thing about Emily."
"I know she's a red head but he is a lot like Gibbs."
"I was referring to the fact that she is a single mom."
"Oh yeah right!"
"Well do you think that he will care?"
"I don't know but hopefully by the time he finds out he will be so into her it won't matter."
"I don't know Jimmy but Emily is one of my oldest friend and I don't want her to get hurt."
"Tony may not feel comfortable dating a single mom but he won't hurt her."
"Well if you're sure."
"Tony is a good guy and he's been hurt before and I don't want him to get hurt."
"Trust me Emily won't hurt him."
"Great. Well I have to go Dr. Mallard is coming."
"Yeah I need to get back to work too."
"Bye I love you."
"Oh yeah one more thing Dylan has a camping trip with his scout troop this weekend and Emily's mom is taking Carly. So she is coming over anyway."
"Great I'll try to get Tony over."
"Well you should go before you get in trouble. I love you."
"You're right. Love you too."
Jimmy hung up his phone and put it back into his pocket. Just as Dr. Mallard finished wiping down the autopsy tables.
"I noticed that wasn't adoption talk Mr. Palmer." Ducky commented.
"Right sorry doctor. I was talking to her while I was waiting for you and I guess I got carried away." Jimmy explained.
"Well we weren't in the middle of anything. So just this once it is okay but I do not want this to become a habit." Ducky replied.
"Thanks Dr. Mallard." Jimmy replied.
Tony bent down and grabbed his chips out of the vending machine. Just a three more hours and unless they caught a case. He would be home with the rest of his pizza from the night before and a couple of movies. Work wasn't as much fun since Ziva left and Delilah was injured. He felt bad ragging on McGee when he was so stressed out and upset. Hopefully things would get back to normal soon. He couldn't believe how selfish that sounded. His partner's girlfriend was paralyzed and he was worrying about stupid jokes. When would he grow-up and stop being such a whinny baby. He felt a tapping on his shoulder and whirled around. To see Jimmy standing behind him.
"Oh hi Palmer. Look I am sorry if I upset you the other day." Tony apologized.
"No it's alright." Jimmy assured.
"So what can I do for you Autopsy Gremlin?" Tony asked.
"Do you um you know have er plans for uh Friday night?" Jimmy asked.
"You asking me out Jimmy?" Tony questioned.
"No I was just wondering cause um Breena and I are having people over and well I thought you might. You know like to join us?" Jimmy asked.
"Well if we don't have a case. It might be fun to go over to our place." Tony replied.
"Great I'll tell Breena that you will be coming over." Jimmy replied.
"I said maybe." Tony said.
"I know but that way we can be sure we have enough for you." Jimmy explained.
"Makes sense." Tony replied.
"Great" Jimmy replied.
"So who all is going to be there?" Tony asked/
"I don't know a couple of Breena's friends." Jimmy replied.
"So you just needed a dude huh?" Tony asked.
"Well Ed may come but you are a lot easier to just talk to and hangout with." Jimmy explained.
"Moody Gibbs is easier to hangout with than Ed." Tony commented/
"To be fair he did go to Michigan State." Jimmy replied.
"So did Dr. Pitt and we get along great." Tony argued.
"Yeah but he does always tell you to where your Ohio State sweatshirt. Whenever he gives you something has vomiting as a side effect." Jimmy replied.
"True" Tony replied.
"Well I'm looking forward to Friday night." Jimmy said.
"Yeah me too." Tony replied.
Jimmy left Tony alone at the snack machines. He couldn't wait until Friday. If everything worked out. Tony may finally be on the way to happiness.
A/N: What do you think? This is my first sequel to a one shot and my second sequel overall. So I hope it works out. I think this will be the story that replaces "And Tony Makes Four" as my regular update. Please review and thanks for reading.
