Tony grabbed baby Jack and rushed back out to the car. He hoped he wasn't too late. He knew he shouldn't have left. He should have let Delilah take Jack for the night. She and McGee were going to have kids one day and she would have to get used to staying up late with a kid and working the next day. He considered picking up Amy but decided against it. Any time he stopped was longer he was away from Jimmy and more time that he could be too late. He was sure she had slipped her number to Gibbs on the way out. Of course maybe it was bad to leave her alone. He ultimately decided against picking her up. The way she talked with Gibbs it sounded like she had a dad and brother alive and in the DC area. When he got back to Bethesda everybody was in the waiting room except for Ducky.
"How is he?" Tony asked.
"Not good" Abby whimpered.
"At least he's still alive." Tony replied.
"He died twice. Ducky is with him now." McGee explained.
"What are his chances?" Tony questioned.
"Barely ten percent." Abby croaked.
"Oh man Palmer why did you do this?" Tony asked.
"You know why DiNozzo. Did Amy get home OK?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah" Tony replied.
"Why were you so insistent on taking her home?" McGee asked.
"I thought I knew her from somewhere." Tony explained.
"Did you?" Gibbs asked,
"Yes I saved her life years ago when I was still a beat cop in Baltimore." Tony explained.
"So there's no romantic feelings?" McGee questioned.
"No way Probie! She is beautiful but Emily is the only girl for me." Tony assured.
"Really?" McGee asked.
"Well not counting Carly and any daughters I may have in the future." Tony explained.
"Good boy" Gibbs replied.
"Never thought I'd see the day Tony became a family man. I always thought that you would marry but never have children." McGee commented.
"Things change Probie." Tony replied.
"Well I am glad you are happy." McGee replied.
"Can we maybe focus on Jimmy?!" Abby demanded.
"Right" Tony replied.
"Sorry" McGee added.
Jack woke up crying about an hour after Tony arrived back to the hospital. He quickly carried his son to the bathroom and checked his diaper. Even after he was changed the baby was still screaming his head off. So Tony carried him back to the waiting room and fed him. After being burped and passed around the room baby Jack was back asleep. Shortly after Ducky returned to the room.
"How is he Duck?" Gibbs asked.
"He is going to be OK. He is still critical but the doctors are optimistic that he will be upgraded to serious condition by tomorrow." Ducky explained.
"What was with the seizures?" Tony asked.
"Luckily it was just an allergic reaction to the pain medicine he was on. They put him on something else and he is doing much better already. You can all go home now. I will alert you to any changes in his condition." Ducky explained.
"OK" Bishop replied.
"If you're sure." Gibbs added.
"Alright but only if Jimmy and you are OK." Abby replied.
"OK" McGee yawned.
"I am glad Jimmy is OK but I am exhausted and Jack will be up for in a few hours." Tony finished.
Emily sat up in her bed and watched TV. Tony had said that Jimmy was doing well but she had a bad feeling. She heard Dylan's door open and close and her son make his way down the hall to the bathroom. She was relieved he didn't notice the light and TV on in her room. The kids didn't know about Jimmy yet and she intended to keep it that way until morning. Her bad feeling had suddenly passed but she still couldn't get to sleep. Her phone rang again and she quickly answered it was Tony calling back again.
"Hello?"
"Emily it's me Tony."
"I know. How is he?"
"He gave us a scare he had several seizures like two or three and his heart stopped three times but it was just a bad reaction to pain killers. He is on something else now and should be OK."
"Good"
"I can't believe he attempted suicide though."
"Me either but I understand where he is coming from."
"Me too. I have never lost anyone like Breena and pray I never do but I have lost girlfriends before and it is rough,"
"So did the person who hit him stop?"
"Yes she even came to the hospital with us. It's really weird she went to school with Kelly and I saved her life years ago in Baltimore."
"That is amazing."
"It really is. Now I have to get to bed before Jack wakes up."
"Night Tony"
"Night Emily."
Tony tried to get to sleep but was wide awake. Every time he closed his eyes he saw Jimmy laying in the street. His head was full of horrible scenarios. What if they had gotten to him too late? What if Amy hadn't of stopped? What if Jimmy had attempted suicide somewhere else and nobody had been around? What if Jimmy's complication had been worse and he had died? What if Tony never got the chance to say goodbye to his best fiend? The door opened and Gibbs walked in the room. Times like this he loved Gibbs's gut and near psychic abilities.
"You alright DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked.
"Worried about Jimmy." Tony replied.
"He'll be OK. He is tough and now that he knows how many people care about him. He will fight harder and come through." Gibbs explained.
"I hope so." Tony replied.
"Did you call Emily?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes I did." Tony replied.
"Have you talked to Amy since taking her home?" Gibbs questioned.
"No" Tony replied.
"I will call her in the morning." Gibbs replied.
"Alright I just wish that I could sleep." Tony commented.
"I will make something up that used to put Kelly right to sleep." Gibbs offered.
"OK" Tony yawned.
"You're coming with me. You will have to know for Dylan, Carly, and Jack." Gibbs explained.
"This isn't illegal right? I mean I hear Grandpa Gibbs used to make the moonshine." Tony teased in a fake country accent.
"It's warm milk with little marshmallow sheep in it." Gibbs groaned.
