After Jimmy fell back asleep Ducky left his room and went off to call the rest of the team. He hated being in this situation. After seeing what Jethro went through in the wake of him being blown up and awakening from his coma. Believing that Shannon and Kelly were still living. He never wanted to see anybody experience that again. Much less his young assistant. The man he had always seen as a surrogate son. Ducky knew it was a long shot but he dialed Jethro's number back in Stillwater.
"Jethro"
"What is it Duck?"
"I hate to ask you this but how quickly can you get back to DC?"
"I just got to Stillwater and there's a big thing at town hall tonight."
"Oh well I understand but there is a problem with Mr. Palmer."
"Shit Duck is he?"
"He is alive and awake in fact but he has amnesia and well the poor deal thinks that it is May of two thousand twelve just before his wedding."
"So in his head?"
"Breena is still alive."
"Yikes poor kid."
"I know that you are busy with trying to become sheriff of Stillwater but if it is at all possible could you please get back to DC?"
"I will try to come back down tomorrow but I am holding down the fort at the store so Tony can pack up the rest of his things."
"Thank you so much Jethro. I hate to ask this much of you but I think Mr. Palmer really could use somebody who's been there."
Tony rocked his son in his arms. Emily and the kids had gone to say goodbye to a couple of friends before leaving permanently. Originally Tony had planned to go with them but Jack had finally decided to fall asleep just before they left. After being up most of the night and in a nasty mood all morning. Jack was normally a relaxed baby who had started sleeping through the night while Tony was already in Israel but last night had been a bad night for everyone. At least Jimmy was doing well and may even be awake by now. Just then his phone rang and it was Ducky. That old man was almost identical to Gibbs when it came to just showing up when you had only even thought of him. For just a second even.
"Hello Anthony I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
"No Jack is napping and Emily is out with the kids."
"Are you packed?"
"Mostly I just have to pack my piano."
"Certainly that hasn't been in your apartment alone all this time?"
"No it's here at Gibbs's place but I am sending it up in the big truck with Gibbs's furniture. Emily and I are renting a little trailer to drive up in a few days."
"Two moving trucks?"
"Well we have to get Jack's place cleared out and I need to find a house in Stillwater."
"Oh well now it makes sense."
"Well I am not important right now how is Jimmy?"
"He is awake but not well I am afraid."
"What's wrong?"
"He has amnesia I am afraid."
"How bad?"
"He thinks that it is May of two thousand twelve just before his wedding."
"Please tell me that he knows that Breena is gone."
"I am afraid not."
"Poor Autopsy Gremlin."
"Is he up for visitors?"
"He is asleep right now which is for the best for him."
"Well let me know when he wakes up. I need to stay with Jack until Emily gets back with the kids. She should be back in an hour or so."
"Mr. Palmer probably won't be awake for a while."
"Alright I think I am going to take a nap myself."
"Sleep well Anthony and I hope that baby Jackson will allow you to take your nap. You are still recovering and need your rest."
"I know but it's just so hard with everything."
"Believe me Anthony I understand but I also don't want you to overdo and damage yourself. Speaking of which are you remembering to take your anti rejection pills?"
"I live with Gibbs. He has an actual sheet I have to sign. I spaced on it one day and he cornered me and forced the thing down my throat."
"That sounds like Jethro."
"It is nice to have him looking out for me."
"He likes to have you to look out for. Jethro has a lot of fathering in him. After losing Kelly he had to put that into somebody and you are perfect."
"I am glad that Gibbs is such a good and loving father. I would be completely lost without him."
"You have an excellent teacher. Hold on Anthony Mr. Palmer is awake and asking for me."
When Ducky returned to his assistants bedside. The young man was sitting up in his bed using the phone to try to call somebody. When Jimmy saw him enter he hung up the phone and faced him.
"Who were you trying to call Mr. Palmer?" Ducky asked.
"Breena" Jimmy replied.
"Oh" Ducky sighed.
"Yeah I think she is mad at me." Jimmy commented.
"Why would you think that?" Ducky questioned.
"I have called her three times and her phone went straight to voice mail. Did I do something stupid is that how I ended up in here? Breena hated it when I took risks and acted like I was an agent." Jimmy asked.
"No Mr. Palmer you were simply hit by a car." Ducky assured.
"Oh well maybe she just doesn't recognize the number. Can I borrow your phone to try to call her?" Jimmy questioned.
"You cannot use cellphones in this wing." Ducky replied.
"I will try to call Emily maybe they are out. Dylan did just get out of the hospital." Jimmy replied.
"Mr. Palmer you should rest." Ducky replied.
"No! I need to call Breena! I need to talk to her! I need Breena!" Jimmy cried.
"Mr. Palmer." Ducky pleaded.
"Get out! Just get out!" Jimmy snapped.
Jimmy felt bad for snapping at his boss and adoptive father like that but he just wanted to talk to Breena. It didn't make sense to him that Ducky was so objective to talk to his fiancée. Was Ducky lying? Was Breena really pissed at him? He reached for the phone by his bed thought for a moment and them dialed Emily's number.
"Hello?"
"Emily it's me Jimmy."
"Oh hi Jimmy how are you feeling?"
"Pretty sore but the medicine really dulls the pain."
"That's good."
"Hey is Breena with you? Is she mad at me?"
"Jimmy, Breena is dead."
"No she isn't I was just with her planning the wedding."
"No Jimmy you two were married for two years before she died."
"No! Breena isn't dead! We are getting married in a few weeks! This isn't funny! I hate you!"
"Jimmy?"
"Shut up! I just want Breena! Leave me alone!"
A/N: Poor Jimmy he still has amnesia and thinks that Emily was lying to him. I have decided not to end this just yet after all. It will end soon though. New chapter will be up soon please review and thanks for reading.
