Tony leaned back on the couch. He was so glad to finally be out of the hospital. The doctors said that he was recovering great and that he should be able to resume normal activity very soon. Except for going in the field that is. NCIS had very strict rules when it came to transplants and they made no exceptions. Luckily for him Vance and Gibbs liked him. So he would be working with FLETC. He was actually looking forward to training a bunch of baby Probies to go into the field. Even though he wouldn't be the SFA anymore. He could still work with team Gibbs, Ducky, Palmer, and Abby. Palmer his heart broke for that kid. What if his paranoia about Breena had gotten her killed. He smiled when Emily came in and set two lemonades down on the table.

"Oh Tony I am so glad you are out of the hospital." Emily told him.

"Me too I was going crazy the past couple weeks." Tony replied.

"You aren't having any problems with your new lungs right?" Emily asked.

"Well I left them alone for a couple of hours to do some shopping and what do you know they threw a rager with my other organs but kids will be kids I suppose." Tony replied.

"You!" Emily cried.

"How's Carly's arm?" Tony asked.

"Great. She gets the cast off next week." Emily replied.

"That's wonderful. Now how are you?" Tony asked.

"Great my ankle healed great and I have a scar on my arm but it's no big deal." Emily assured.

"Good" Tony replied.

"Are you alright?" Emily asked.

"Jack is three months old. I missed so much of his babyhood." Tony sighed.

"Tony you didn't know about him until he was several weeks old and once you had your surgery we brought him to the hospital everyday." Emily assured.

"I know but I feel bad. He deserves better." Tony replied.

"Tony, Dylan had some severe health crisis' right around the time Carly was born. As a result. I spent the first five months of her life in the PICU wondering if my son was going to live. I felt so guilty for Carly. I was missing her being a baby but Dylan needed me. He was so afraid and he always has been a mommy's boy. What I am saying is that I understand." Emily explained.

"Thanks" Tony replied.

"No problem. I know you are exhausted today and just got home from the hospital three days ago but would you like to go to the park for a picnic with the kids and I tomorrow?" Emily asked.

"Are you kidding? I would love that." Tony replied.

"How is Gibbs liking being back at NCIS?" Emily asked.

"He is thrilled. I feel bad I kept him out of the field so long." Tony sighed.

"Don't he did it because he loves you and he knew that you needed him." Emily replied.

"I know but he loves being an agent." Tony replied.

"He loves you even more." Emily assured.

"I am so lucky." Tony said.

"So am I. Hey when is Jimmy coming back to work?" Emily asked.

"I don't know he is pretty destroyed." Tony sighed.

"Poor kid. I just miss Breena so much." Emily sobbed.

"So do I. She was so wonderful and Jimmy loved her so much. I hate Ray Cruz." Tony replied.

"I know. I am so glad that Gibbs shot him dead." Emily replied.

"Me too." Tony replied pulling his girlfriend close.

Jimmy looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It read six o'clock pm once again he had slept all day. He had no motivation since Breena died. At least Ducky had been understanding and patient with him. He looked at the picture that sat on the table behind the clock. It was a picture of Breena on the beach the day before they got married. Their second anniversary was supposed to be in a few weeks. Now it would be a miserable day that reminded him of how much he missed her. Basically just another day. Now he was just like Gibbs and Vance. Well not exactly. He hadn't lost a child like Gibbs but he also didn't have children to carry on Breena's memory like Vance. It was just him. Just poor little Jimmy Palmer who was going to die alone now. The childless, widower, orphan autopsy gremlin. He worked with death and had failed his wife. He deserved to be alone. At least Breena had made Tony happy. How many single girls did he know that he could have set Tony up with but never took the time?

"Mr. Palmer?" Ducky called from the doorway.

"What?" Jimmy asked.

"I brought you something to eat and your kit." Ducky replied.

"Great" Jimmy moaned.

"Oh Mr. Palmer I know that you miss her." Ducky replied.

"It's like some horrible dream but it's not. It's real." Jimmy sobbed.

"I know Mr. Palmer." Ducky replied.

"I held her in my arms." Jimmy sobbed.

"I held you in my arms while you cried for her." Ducky sighed.

"I never got to hear her voice again. She was too far gone by the time they found her." Jimmy cried.

"Timothy said that her last words before she lost consciousness were. Tell Jimmy I love him. He had tears in his eyes as he told me." Ducky explained.

"He told me that. He cried when he told me too." Jimmy replied.

"The events of that night heavily effected him." Ducky sighed.

"Is it true he changed teams?" Jimmy asked.

"Yes he is now working with Agents Cortez and Jones." Ducky replied.

"Yes since Agent Myers died and Agent Roberts has opted to retire. His daughter is graduating in two years and he intends to be there and then travel with his wife." Ducky explained.

"Dee was a good woman I am sad that she is gone. She helped me a lot after Michelle died. I could use her now. She was like a sister." Jimmy admitted.

"She was a lovely woman I know that she and Breena are at peace." Ducky replied.

"I wish I could hold Breena one more time. Not while she died but the healthy happy Breena I fell in love with." Jimmy sobbed.

"So do I Mr. Palmer. So do I." Ducky whispered.
