Once he remembered losing Kate, all of Tony's memories came rushing back to him. Every single one of them. The good ones like the twins starting school and finally being relieved of Agent Aboard duty and the bad ones like Gibbs being blown up and Jenny dying. Maybe Gibbs's tough love had spared him the struggle of regaining his memories. Then again it was Gibbs who talked to him, maybe he ordered his memories to come back or else. Whatever the case, he was relieved to have his memories back even the bad ones. He was glad to be semi whole again and that he would be able to go home to his twins as soon as possible and be able to remember who they are now. With the recovery of all his memories came the memory of the twin's teacher. The one who had helped Holly when she started her first period and always made sure to look out for Noah. He remembered that he liked her, really liked her. In fact if he was being perfectly honest he was in love with her but was he ready for love again? It had been a long time since Kate died but she was his everything and any other woman seemed like she would just be a consultation prize. He didn't want a consultation prize. He wanted Kate.
"Tony? How are you doing?" McGee asked from the doorway.
"My head hurts and I am confused." Tony admitted.
"Still searching for lost memories?" McGee asked.
"No, Gibbs's tough love got my memories back but I don't know Probie I am confused." Tony explained.
"What's wrong? Maybe I can help?" McGee offered.
"Right before the accident. Was I, was I in love?" Tony asked.
"Yes" McGee replied.
"OK" Tony sighed.
"Do you want to talk about it?" McGee asked.
"Not sure I can handle it today." Tony replied.
"OK, do you have anymore questions?" McGee asked.
"When can I see the twins again?" Tony asked.
"Just as soon as you are out of trauma." McGee replied.
"When will they spring me from this ward?" Tony asked.
"As soon as your tests come back and are normal." McGee explained.
"Good, I miss my babies. Been almost a week since I've seen them." Tony replied.
"They are missing you too." McGee replied.
"Who's been taking care of them?" Tony asked.
"Jimmy and Breena" McGee replied.
"Why isn't Gibbs taking care of them? He always takes care of the twins when I can't?" Tony asked.
"He has been staying here every night. Waiting for you to wake up or simply to be there just in case you needed him." McGee explained.
"Sounds like Gibbs." Tony chuckled.
"So you aren't still pissed at him?" McGee asked.
"I could never stay mad at Gibbs. He is the first person to truly love me like a parent." Tony explained.
"Yep that's Gibbs." McGee replied smiling.
All of Tony's scans and tests came back normal and he was released to a regular room. He would remain in the hospital for at least another twenty-four hours under observation but as long as he remained stable throughout that time, he would be free to go home. Still he would need somebody with him twenty-four hours a day until he was cleared by the neurologist. He wasn't looking forward to being "babysat" all day, every day but at least it was only temporary. God willing it was only temporary. Even worse than being babysat, was the fact that he couldn't go back in the field until he was cleared. Which meant being resigned to desk duty. He hated desk duty. He wasn't in his new room long. When the door swung open and Holly and Noah came running into the room.
"Dad!" Holly and Noah cried running towards his bed.
"Holly! Noah! I have missed you two!" Tony cried.
"How are you, doing?" Holly asked.
"Pretty good, my head is killing me though." Tony explained.
"I thought you said that you were going to be OK." Noah commented.
"It's just an expression. I am going to be fine but my head is really hurting." Tony assured.
"Is that normal?" Holly asked.
"Considering my injuries yes it is." Tony assured.
"When are you getting out of here?" Holly asked.
"Most likely tomorrow. Unless there are complications." Tony explained.
"Complications?" Holly asked.
"Severe headaches, seizures, that sort of things." Tony replied.
"What are the odds of those things happening?" Holly asked.
"Not likely but they have to be careful." Tony explained.
"Are you going to be able to go back to work?" Noah asked.
"I can go back to work probably next week but I can't go back into the field until the neurologist clears me." Tony explained.
"That's gonna suck for you." Noah stated.
"It is" Tony agreed.
"Will everything else be able to go back to normal though?" Noah asked.
"I can't drive or stay on my own until I am cleared by the neurologist." Tony explained.
"What do you mean stay alone?" Holly asked.
"I am going to need somebody with me twenty-four hours a day to make sure I don't fall or hit my head again." Tony explained.
"OK, I think I can do that. I will just transfer to the online school so that I don't have to take the competency exam or go to truancy court." Holly explained.
"No you need to keep your life as normal as possible. Besides I need another adult with me who can drive me around and help me out if I fell or something." Tony explained.
"Who are you going to stay with? Will they let us stay there too or will we have to stay with the Palmer's until you get better?" Holly asked.
"I am going to be staying with you guys and believe me I am going to need all the help I can get to keep your dad out of trouble." Gibbs explained entering the room.
A/N: Hopefully Tony will behave for Gibbs. He will have to decide all over about Ziva in the next chapter, which will be up as soon as possible. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
