Emily had honestly hoped it would be longer before she saw her fiancée back in a hospital bed. Breena and Gibbs had both warned her that Tony was a trouble magnet but three hospitalizations in just as many months. Was just insane nobody was that prone to trouble. She stood outside Tony's room and watched him through the window. He was so pale and he was hooked up to too many machines and wires. Gibbs was beside him holding his son's hand. Even though he was trying to hide it. Emily could see the pain on his face. She pushed down on the door handle and slowly entered the room. Gibbs stood up and left the room allowing her to be alone with Tony. She took his hand and looked into his green eyes.

"Emily?" Tony asked weakly.

"Yeah Tony it's me." Emily replied.

"Why am I in the hospital?" Tony asked.

"You started getting sick while we were locked up. Something is attacking your heart. They think that you were poisoned." Emily explained.

"Am I going to need another transplant?" Tony asked.

"I hope not but they can't do anything for you until they figure out what is in your system." Emily replied.

"Em if I don't make it. Just know I love you. Don't waste time mourning me. Find somebody else and be happy." Tony requested.

"Tony you are going to make it you have to." Emily replied.

"Make sure that Boss takes care of baby Jack and doesn't mourn for me the way he did Kelly. I don't deserve that. Same goes for everybody else and make sure that Ziva's ashes are scattered somewhere meaningful." Tony explained.

"Tony if you don't beat this Gibbs, McGee, Jimmy, Abby, Ducky, everybody are going to go crazy missing you. We will all care for Jack like his is our own though and I never met Ziva. So I won't be much help but Ziva's ashes will be scattered somewhere amazing." Emily assured.

"Make sure your kids don't mourn me like they did their dad. I am not even close." Tony requested.

"Tony you are not going to die. They will cure you and it will be like it never even happened." Emily assured.

"You know that you can't promise that." Tony argued.

"Please don't fight me on this Tony. I can't lose you." Emily begged.

"Sorry but I am just so scared." Tony replied.

"Don't be afraid." Emily replied.

"I can't help it everybody has to run out of lives eventually and I think this may be it." Tony replied.

"Tony, God has to look out for the man who saved my baby girl for me." Emily replied.

"I hope that you are right Em." Tony replied.

The State Troopers came and took Ed away and Leroy's old friend Max came and took the kids. Jack leaned heavily against the counter. He had felt terrible since not long before Adam showed up. His heart didn't feel right but it wasn't like a heart attack. His vision was beginning to blur and his legs finally gave out from underneath him. As he crashed to the ground. He saw Ann, Shannon, and Kelly. That's when he knew that his time was up.

"Grandpa!" Kelly cried.

"Hey Princess I've missed you." Jack replied.

"I've missed you too!" Kelly replied.

"Jackson" Shannon said.

"It is good to see you again Shannon. I just wish you and Kelly hadn't left my Leroy so soon." Jack replied.

"So do I." Shannon replied.

"I've missed you Jackie." Ann said.

"You don't know how much I've missed you Chickadee." Jack replied.

"Actually I do but you can't join us just yet." Ann replied.

"What why? I have always been a good person." Jack asked.

"Before you can join us. You must keep our grandson Tony alive." Ann explained.

"What do you mean?" Jack questioned.

"Jack you were poisoned and Tony was too by the same think that killed you. Except it is still way too soon for him. You have to convince him to stay. If Tony dies our Leroy will never be even close to OK ever again. Do you understand?" Ann explained.

"Yes" Jack replied.

"Good now go to him before it is too late." Ann replied.

"Of course I will stay as long as I need but I cannot wait to be back with you guys." Jack replied.

"I know" Ann replied.

"Thank you Jack. I wish that Tony could have been mine and Leroy's." Shannon said.

"Hurry up and save Tony then come back to us Grandpa!" Kelly cried.

Gibbs felt tears filling his eyes. This couldn't be happening he couldn't be losing his son now. Not after how hard he fought to get Tony a lung transplant and keep him going until he could get one. He wasn't sure if it was Adam or Ed who had poisoned his boy but he hated them. Death was too good for Adam and whatever punishment Ed got was too good for him. He couldn't lose Tony now and let those monsters and Ray win. Tony had to fight, survive, and make Adam, Ed, and Ray look like miserable failures. That and losers was all that they were. Needing air he stepped outside and took deep breaths. He looked at his phone and saw that he had several missed calls from Dr. Griffin. Hoping that it was something that could help Tony he pressed callback.

"Hello?"

"Leroy?"

"Yeah it's me what's going on?"

"I have bad news Leroy."

"What now?"

"I am sorry Leroy. Mr. Perkins went into your dad's store to pick up some groceries and found him lying on the floor."

"Is he OK?"

"I am sorry he is gone."

"No did the kids see his body?"

"No thankfully your friend Max took them to his place for the night."

"I...I need to get back to Tony."

"I am sorry Leroy."
