Jimmy held his hand over his mouth. The pills dropped onto his tongue. He reached for a glass of water and poured the clear liquid into his mouth. The pills and water flowed down his throat almost too easily. He fell to the floor, curled up in a ball, and closed his eyes. He relaxed knowing that the next time he opened his eyes. He would see his son once again.

Tony knocked on the door again to no avail. He wished that Ziva would just hurry up in there. He knew how hard morning sickness could be but Ziva hadn't been sick much this pregnancy. He was seconds away from giving up and forcing Jenny out of the bathroom. When he heard familiar footprints coming down the hall.

"Tony! Are you ready yet?!" Ziva called.

"No I am waiting for the bathroom. Wait you aren't in there?" Tony observed.

"No I just had to grab my contact solution." Ziva replied.

"So is one of the kids in there?" Tony asked.

"No Ducky picked Tali up for daycare and the twins just left for the bus." Ziva explained.

"That leaves Jimmy." Tony replied.

A surge of fear washed over both Tony and Ziva. Jimmy using the bathroom was not a big deal. It was a basic human function, but after years of working for Gibbs had left the DiNozzo's with finely tuned guts. They did not get the feeling hours or days in advance but they did know when things were going wrong. Tony jiggled the knob but the door was locked. Ziva removed the clip from her hair and expertly picked the lock. The door popped open and Tony cautiously stepped inside.

The sight was enough to make the seasoned agent feel sick to his stomach. He covered his mouth with his hand and swallowed hard. He spotted the empty pill bottle in front of the sink and the broken water glass clasped in Jimmy's hand. It didn't take a detective to figure out what had happened.

"Call 911! NOW!" Tony screamed.

Ziva forced herself to go on automatic. She grabbed Tony's phone off the dresser and called 911. She reported everything exactly how Tony told her; suicide attempt with pills, thirty year old man, diabetic, recently lost his son to cancer, separated from wife. The operator remained on the line until she was convinced that Tony knew how to handle things.

The ambulance arrived ten minutes later and the paramedics went to work on Jimmy. While they worked desperately to save his life. Tony and Ziva clung to each other and prayed. They could not believe they had let this happen. They knew that Jimmy needed extra attention. They should have never let him out of their sight. They should have known that this would happen. They should have been ready.

Tony made the calls while Ziva drove to the hospital. They were not sure what to expect, Ducky just dropped Tori off at daycare and headed to the hospital. Tori had been frightened by the ICU when Eddie last stayed there. That's where Jimmy would be at least overnight and once he was awake and stable he would be transferred to the psych ward. He would be there for at least a few days. As of now the future was unknown but no matter what the outcome the coming weeks would not be easy.

The good news was that Jimmy was expected to survive. They got his stomach pumped just in time and he vitals were good. The next forty eight hours were still critical but he was actually fighting. He was not allowed to have visitors yet. When he was allowed company visits would have to be kept under thirty minutes and he was limited to two visitors at a time. Tori would not be allowed to see him until he was in a regular room. "Unless something change." Something changed, was nurse talk for Jimmy took a turn for the worst.

"Jimmy started to become agitated. They gave him a mild sedative and do not expect him to wake up until morning. He will not be up for visitors for a couple of hours. When we are allowed to visit we must remember to keep calm. For that reason I strong advise that you two head home and try to relax. If you cannot be calm you cannot go into his room." Ducky explained.

"Shouldn't somebody stay here?" Tony asked.

"I am staying. I have already cleared it with Leon." Ducky replied.

"We will get the girls from school and keep Tori overnight." Ziva offered.

"Thank you very much dear." Ducky replied.

"We will be back after Jenny's presentation. Call us if there is any change." Tony announced.

"Of course" Ducky assured.

Ed's heart broke when he got the news. He could not believe that his son in law had tried to kill himself. Jimmy Palmer had always been the most happy go lucky person. Even when Eddie was fighting cancer. Jimmy kept a smile on his face. He was always brave for his family but he also tried to find the good. Eddie's death had destroyed the smile and Breena shutting him out had pushed him over the edge. He sat by his daughter's side and wondered how he was going to tell her. She did not need anymore bad news. If she even took the suicide attempt as bad news. The way she had felt about Jimmy recently. Ed was actually terrified of the reaction.

Tony cleaned the mess in the bathroom, while Ziva slept. His heart was heavy the entire time. He was haunted by the memory of finding Jimmy's body. He was physically ill when he realized that it was his pills. He wished that he had traded the pills in. Just another simple thing that had nearly taken his friend's life. The guilt was almost unbearable.

"It is time to go to the school." Ziva announced.

"They were my pills." Tony whispered.

"I know but it was Jimmy's actions." Ziva reminded.
