Papa-bear Gibbs at the end of the Plague episode is one of my favorite moments, so I'm glad to see that expanded on here.

I love your stories. You are an amazing writer.

So sweet! Nice job covering something that the tv show glossed over.

Sounds like you did a ton of research or you have some pertinent experience. Terrific realism in portraying Tony in recovery. Thanks for another good story!

This was really nice to read.

I love this story and I love re-reading it :)

Good story.

What a wonderful story. I liked it very much. :D Thanks for sharing.

Outside of a geographical temperature error (winter coat in May even if Tony was ill would have him very over heated), I loved this chapter. Abby caring. Ducky logical. Gibbs inward worry and outward surety, Tony's apprehension. Would loved to have more Kate since she's the one who stayed with him while he was on the verge of death and her cold would be long gone by now but I have hopes to see more of her (and McGee) as I go forward.
(Think I've read this before but I just don't remember where the story goes so I'm reading "again").

The best of the three I read! They never even took the time to address Tony's recovery on the show. He just magically got all better. This really delved into the struggles and gave us a great picture of Gibbs being the dad Tony needs and Tony being the son Gibbs needs. Thank you!

I have read this story so many times!..Very! touching and so true to the characters!...really! wish there was a sequel!... .

He he aww poor Tony porridge Tony.

Grr I am so mad at senior.

Nice just nice

Good one wonder what that is that Gibbs made and if it will help Tonys breathing
