When Charity had said she was tired, Gibbs left her room, but he hadn't left the hospital. He had headed down to the cafeteria and grabbed some eggs, toast, and a black coffee. It was hard for him to see his daughter suffering, trying to remember the last fifteen years of her life.
"Mind if I join you?" came a now familiar feminie voice.
Gibbs looked up and saw the redhead that was the head of NCIS. "Not at all, Director." Gibbs replied.
She sat down across from him. "Please call me Jenny."
"Alright, Jenny." Gibbs replied.
"How is Charity?"
"Confused and frustrated." Gibbs answered. "I was trying to help her and she got tired. So I came down here."
Jenny nodded. "I know this must be hard for you." She said.
Gibbs nodded. "At least she's still alive."
Jenny nodded. "I hope that she recovers soon."
"So, do the directors of all federal agencies personally come to check on their injured agents or is it just you?" Gibbs asked.
Jenny seemed taken aback. "I make it a point to see to the welfare of my agents and make sure they are getting the best care. Especially when they are as good as Charity."
"Well, I'm glad to know that my daughter has had so many people looking after her while I've been gone."
Charity and Tony...
After Charity had remembered everything, the doctor had come in. He checked her out. He'd ordered some tests and she'd been wheeled out. After they were done with the tests, the nurses brought her back and Tony had been waiting for her.
When the nurses left, Tony got up from his chair and walked over to Charity. She scooted over and patted the spot next to her. Tony grinned at her and sat down. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close, kissing the top of her head. "I'm glad to have you back." He said.
Charity grinned. "I'm glad to be back. Hopefully, I'll be able to get out of here soon now."
Just then the doctor walked in the room. "Well, Charity, all of your test results appear to be normal." He told her. "I however want to keep you over night just for one more night."
"Then I can leave tomorrow?" Charity asked.
"Yes."
"Good. I hate hospitals." She said. "The only time I was ever happy to come to the hospital was when Kelly was born."
The doctor chuckled and then left, leaving Charity and Tony alone. Just then Charity's stomache let out a rather loud growl. Tony looked over at her. "A little hungry are you?" He teased.
"Maybe." Charity replied.
"Shall I treat you to lunch at the cafeteria?" He asked.
"Sounds good to me."
The pair got up and headed to the cafeteria. Tony kept his arm around Charity's waist, keeping her close, as if he let go she might forget him again. Onc ethey walked into the cafteria, they spotted Charity's dad sitting and talking with Director Shepard.
"I'm getting that same feeling, I got in school whenever it came to parent-teacher conferences." She said.
Tony chuckled. "I know that feeling."
"Well, we had probably better head over there. I'm sure Dad would like to know that I have my memory back."
"Probably." Tony agreed.
They walked over to the table. Gibbs and Jenny looked up, seeming surprised by Charity and Tony walking so close. "I'm back." She announced.
"Are you saying you have your memory back, Agent Gibbs?" Jenny asked.
"Yes, Director." Charity answered.
Gibbs stood up and looked at his daughter. He looked into her eyes, wanting to make sure she really did have her memory back. "What'd the doc say?" He asked.
"He still wants to keep me one more night. Then I can go home tomorrow."
