Gibbs pushes my wheelchair up next to Palmer's bedside once again. I reach over and grab his hand. "Mom. Dad... This James Palmer... My fiancé." I say.

"Oh my goodness! What happened to him during the crash?" Mom asks.

"His legs were crushed, his skull got a small fracture and got a concussion ." I look to the ground.

"I'm so sorry... That must have been terrible for you to watch..." Dad says.

"Yeah... It was... But I have to think positive now." I start to cry.

"Maybe we should go back to your room..." I lift my arms up in my dads direction and he lifts me up. He carries me back to my room and sets me into the bed.

"Thank you." I whisper.

"So... How has work been?" Mom asks.

"It's been pretty good. Everyone's amazing... And speaking of everyone, here they come now." I say as I see Gibbs, Vance, Ducky, Tony, Ziva, Abby, and McGee come walking towards my room.

"Hello, Ashton! How is your leg feeling?" Ducky asks as he sits on the side of my bed.

"It's been better... Thanks, Duck."

"Have you seen Palmer?" McGee asks.

"Yeah... Twice now."

"It's obvious no one else is going to ask... Are they your parents?" Tony asks.

"Yeah... This is my mom Cassie and my dad Harry."

"Nice to meet you." Ziva says.

"You as well... Ashton, would you care to introduce them?" Mom asks.

"Oh yes! This is our director, Leon Vance. Our medical examiner Doctor Ducky Mallard. Forensic Scientist Abigail Scuito. My boss, Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Special Agent Timothy McGee. Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. And Special Agent Ziva David." I say.

"So... What does James do?"

"James?" Ziva asks.

"Jimmy." Tony says to Ziva.

"Jimmy's real name is James?"

"Yes." I say, "And he helps Duck with autopsy.

"So... Your fiancé touches dead people?" Dad asks.
