It was late Sunday afternoon and Emily had just woken up. From a nap and found that Gibbs and Tony had gone to the grocery store. Taking the kids with them. At first she tried to find something on TV but every channel either had sports or a bad movie. She thought about taking a walk but the ominous looking clouds kept her inside. After giving up and watching a few minutes of a terrible Lifetime movie. It was an old one that she remembered sitting up, eating ice cream with Breena and making fun of it. When she was staying with the Slater's while in DC for Breena's high school graduation. Wiping a stream of tears from her eyes. She thought of the person who missed Breena more than anybody other than her father. She grabbed her keys and sent a quick text to Tony. Before heading off to Dr. Mallard's house to talk with Jimmy. She pulled into the driveway, got out of the car, walked up the drive, and knocked on the door.

"Emily my dear is Anthony alright?" Ducky asked.

"He's fine I am actually here to see Jimmy." Emily replied.

"Really?" Ducky asked.

"Yeah saw this old movie that I watched with Breena when we were younger and I couldn't get my mind off of him. So I decided to come here and try to talk to him." Emily explained.

"Well if you are sure but I should warn you. He is not listening to anybody. I am extremely worried for him. If he doesn't come around soon. I will have no choice but to put him in the hospital." Ducky explained.

"I am not promising to fix him but I want to at least try and help him." Emily explained.

"Why of course my dear. The more people he see's care about him. The more likely he is to come around." Ducky explained.

"And the sooner." Emily added.

"Why yes! Very good! Though I suppose that you have been down this road." Ducky replied.

"I have and I still get that way about Caleb and it's been five years." Emily explained.

"Jethro still gets that way about Shannon and it's been twenty-three years since she and Kelly were killed." Ducky commented.

"I can't imagine what it must have been like to lose a child and a spouse. I am terrified of losing Dylan. Carly too but she is at least in good health." Emily explained.

"It would be hard to have a sick child." Ducky replied.

"It is but right now is about Jimmy." Emily replied.

"Well if you would like to talk with him come with me." Ducky replied.

"He still hasn't gotten out of bed?"Emily questioned.

"Not really." Ducky sighed.

"Are you sure he is up to visitors?" Emily asked.

"I need to start pushing him." Ducky replied.

"Alright" Emily replied.

Jimmy heard talking coming from the front of Ducky's brownstone. He pulled the blanket over his head and made himself as small as possible. He knew that the person was Emily and that she wanted to talk to him. He wasn't ready to face any of Breena's friends yet. It was hard enough dealing with her dad at the funeral. He heard footsteps and the voices getting closer. He begged and prayed for them to go away but they did not. The door opened and Ducky walked in followed by Emily. A choked sob escaped from his mouth. He felt Ducky gently squeeze his shoulder and whisper that everything would be alright. Slowly he pulled himself out from under the blanket and sat up. Emily walked over and took a seat beside him. Then Ducky walked out of the room leaving them alone.

"Emily? What are you doing here?" Jimmy asked.

"I came by to see you." Emily replied.

"What about Tony and the kids?" Jimmy asked.

"They went to the store with Gibbs." Emily replied.

"So you came here to feel sorry for me?" Jimmy asked.

"No I came here to talk." Emily replied.

"About what? How much my life sucks?" Jimmy questioned.

"No I miss Breena too." Emily replied.

"Right you miss your friend but she was my wife!" Jimmy snapped.

"I know because I felt the same way after Caleb died." Emily explained.

"At least he died because he saved a kids life! Breena died at the hands of some maniac! It's not fair! I want her back!" Jimmy yelled.

"Actually losing him like that was near impossible. It was so complicated because I knew that this little boy needed a liver but I at the same time it didn't feel worth it to lose my husband." Emily explained.

"How did you cope?" Jimmy asked.

"The first time I saw Billy playing with the other kids and in perfect health. I don't know it made things better." Emily explained.

"How do you think I will get that way with Breena?" Jimmy asked.

"I don't know but I know that you will." Emily assured.

"If you say so." Jimmy sighed.

"I know that you will but until it does. I will be right there by your side." Emily assured.

"Promise?" Jimmy asked.

"Breena was my best friend and you were the love of her life. We have to stick together." Emily explained.

Tony swallowed his anti-rejection pill. He hated taking those stupid things but the alternative was rejecting the lungs and dying. Even if he took the pills everyday his body could still reject his new lungs. That idea scared the hell out of him but he wouldn't admit it. At least he had survived the fire and gotten the transplant but the thing he cared most about. Was that he had saved Carly and she had escaped with no permanent injuries. He smiled at the news he had gotten that day. Director Vance was letting him come back on desk duty the next day. He never thought that he would be excited about desk duty but after all he had been through. Any normalcy was welcome. He heard the kitchen door open and close. Followed by Dylan opening the freezer, pulling out an Ice-Pop, and closing the door.

"You taking your pills?" Dylan asked.

"Just finished." Tony replied.

"I just wanted to thank you for saving my sister. I know that it ruined your whole life but I am glad that Carly is still here." Dylan replied.

"It didn't ruin my life and there is no need to thank me. I saved her because it was the right thing to do and my job." Tony explained.

"Well still thanks and I am sorry for being such a jerk before." Dylan replied.

"It's no problem my mom died when I was a kid and I've had several step-mom's most of whom would make Cinderella's look like Mother Theresa." Tony assured.

"I'm sorry." Dylan apologized.

"It's OK I have my own family now." Tony replied.
