Summary: “Is Tony going to die,” her pencil continued to scratch across the paper as she wrote out her spelling words.
Author's Notes: This is an AU, inspired in part by wiccagirl24’s wonderful Kelly!verse. In this ‘verse Emily Fornell is actually Emily Gibbs.
“Papa?”
Fornell looked up from the report he was reading and glanced at where Emily was laying on the floor doing her homework, “Yeah?”
“Is Tony going to die,” her pencil continued to scratch across the paper as she wrote out her spelling words.
“What,” he stared at her.
“When Daddy called, he said that Tony was really sick,” she placed the pencil down and sat up to look at him. “If he’s going to die, then I think I should know. I’d to at least say good-bye.”
Fornell sighed. A ten-year-old little girl should not be so resigned to death, but her mother’s passing and her fathers’ professions had somehow made this a condition of her life. He opened his arms and waited for her to join him in the easy chair. Tucking her against him, he measured his words, “Right now Tony is very, very sick. But he’s got a really good doctor, who even impresses Uncle Ducky, and your dad and McGee are working very hard to find out who made him sick and if they can make him better.”
“I know all that, but I want to see him,” her head tilted and her mouth quirked in a way that reminded him of Abby’s pout.
“You can’t.”
“Why not,” definitely Abby’s influence.
He sighed, “Because, Tony has something called Y Pestis…”
“The plague,” her eyes widened. “Does anyone else have it?”
Startled, Fornell asked, “How do you know that Y Pestis is the plague?”
Her eyes rolled, “Science class.”
“In my fifth grade science class all we learned was the names of the nines planets,” he snorted.
“Wow! I didn’t think they had discovered all of them way back then,” that was her father’s smirk.
“Smart aleck,” he began to tickle her, delighting in the sounds of her laughter and squeals. He didn’t stop until they were both nearly out of breath.
When he finally relented, Emily again curled into his side, “Does anyone else have it?”
“No,” he ran his hand over her hair. “Kate is being watched cause she had a cold, but no. Everyone is okay.”
“Okay.”
“Tony is going to be okay. Your daddy will make sure of that.”
She nodded against him, “Yeah, Daddy needs Tony to bother him. Do you think we could watch the Magnum DVD’s tonight?”
“I think we could arrange that,” he kissed the top of her head and wrapped her a little tighter in his arms.
