Finally some good news. The doctors were now confident that Tali would make a complete recovery. She remained asleep for the rest of the day but was awake again when Tony returned the following morning. It was a major relief for Tony. To know that at least his daughter would recover. He ached knowing that Tori and Jimmy were gone. It was hard to be happy, knowing that his friend and god daughter were gone. It was hard being happy knowing that Breena was destroyed and that Ducky was broken. So many hearts were broken. Tony knew that he should be happy but it was hard being happy, when so many others were broken so badly.

Tony sat by his daughter's bed. It was crazy the difference a day could make. The day before they were not sure if Tali would ever wake up. Even if she did Tony did not know if he would ever hear her voice again. Today she was wide awake and she had not stopped talking. She went on and on about everything. From getting to eat jello as a meal to the nurse with the bright blue hair. Tali had definitely inherited the DiNozzo gift of gab.

"Aunt Rachel got me a doggy." Tali announced holding up the giant, pink, stuffed dog from the gift shop.

"I see that." Tony replied.

"I am going to name it Princess Sparkle. Do you like that?" Tali asked.

"That's a pretty name." Tony replied.

"I like dogs. Can we get a dog?" Tali asked.

"I don't know Tali." Tony replied.

"Don't you like dogs?" Tali asked.

"I love dogs but I don't know if you are ready for a real dog just yet." Tony explained.

"I can feed Princess Sparkle!" Tali declared shoving the dogs face into her jello.

"Tali" Tony sighed wiping Princess Sparkle's face.

Breena's behavior was growing more irrational by the minute. She had started out simply blaming Tony for the accident. She went on to resent him for not removing Tori and Jimmy from the car. By the next evening she wanted Tony and Tali dead. By morning she was making plans for their murder. Ed found her notebook on the bedroom floor. He found her rummaging through the kitchen looking for the butcher knife Jimmy had bought for Christmas.

"Breena!" Ed called.

"They have to die. They have to die." Breena murmured to herself.

"Breena you do not really want to kill Tony and Tali." Ed insisted.

"THEY HAVE TO DIE!" Breena snapped throwing a knife at Ed.

Ed knew that his daughter had to go to the hospital. He knew that she was not well. He could not help her through this loss. She need professional help. She needed to be kept away from society. He quietly slipped into the bedroom and called 911.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"This is Ed Slater. I think my daughter has suffered a psychotic break."

"What is your daughter's name?"

"Breena Palmer"

"Do you know what caused the episode?"

"Her husband and daughter were killed in an accident the other day."

Tali was now in a regular hospital room and the doctors were already talking about her release. Tony could not help but say a prayer of thanks. He was so relieved that Tali had come so far so fast. He could have never survived the long and impossible road to recovery that the doctors had discussed. Still the guilt was there.

"How are you holding up?" Rachel asked entering the room with a small box.

"I am OK but Tali does not need another gift. The dog was more than enough." Tony replied.

"This is for you." Rachel laughed.

"I certainly don't need anything." Tony replied dejectedly.

"How are you really?" Rachel questioned.

"I feel guilty that Tali is doing so well." Tony admitted.

"Why?" Rachel asked.

"Because Tori and Jimmy were killed. How is it fair that my daughter is alive and doing great but Tori and Jimmy are gone?" Tony explained.

"That's not a question I can answer. What I know is that Jimmy would not want you to be upset. He would want you to be relieved that Tali was alive." Rachel explained.

"The accident was my fault. It should be the other way around. Me and Tali dead, and Tori and Jimmy doing well." Tony explained.

"No Tony it should not be that way. The accident was not your fault. The other driver was at fault. You were simply driving. That truck slammed right into you." Rachel explained.

"It still doesn't seem right." Tony sighed.

Breena woke up in the hospital. She had no memory of the incident in the kitchen. She had no memory of throwing a knife at her father. She had no memory of diving at him with the knife she had intended to use on Tony and Tali. She had been sedated and lost everything after the phone call. Her memory ended at hearing that Jimmy and Tori were dead. Her memory stopped at falling to the floor of the kitchen. Her memory stopped at her crying uncontrollably.

"JIMMY! TORI! JIMMY! TORI!" Breena screamed as she thrashed on the bed, until the doctor rushed inside and injected her with a second sedative.

Tony tried his best to deal with his crippling guilt. He tried his best to forget the guilt of Tali and himself surviving. While Tori and Jimmy were gone. He wished that he had family to turn to. He wished that just one person had taken his side. He had Rachel but she was just his shrink. Everybody else had turned on him. He was alone and he was broken. He sat on the city bus and cried his eyes out. This was his life. Riding a city bus back and fourth between his home and the hospital. He had no insurance and even if he did he could not afford another car. If Gibbs were still on his side. He could have dealt with the insurance company. Instead he received a call from Gibbs announcing that he was out of the will. He didn't care about Gibbs' things. He just ached knowing that the relationship had been severed.

"What did I do to deserve this?" Tony sobbed.

A/N: Will Tony ever accept that Rachel actually cares? New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
