A/N: I keep writing story's where Tony has a evil father and no further family, I wanted to do something else for a change and give him a nice loving family, a father, mother and brothers and sisters. I'm thinking of making this a series, let me know if you like this and would like to see more of this.

Prologue

Gibbs stepped into the hospital room and looked at Tony.

While still pale he had at least lost the blue like lips and nails.

His cough still sounded awful and Gibbs had been wondering if he should have informed his family about his illness, but looking at Tony he saw that the younger man was taking care of that now for him.

'No Gabe, you don't have to come here, I have the sniffles nothing more.'

'You want to try telling the truth DiNozzo? If you don't then I will.'

'Ahw come on boss, I'm perfectly...', before Tony could finish his sentence he broke out in a coughing fit which left him breathless en tired.

Gibbs took the phone.

'This is agent Gibbs Tony's boss, who is this?'

'Gabriel DiNozzo, what's wrong with my brother? Why is he coughing up a lung?'

'He's sick and laying in Bethesda navy hospital, while he is doing much better he's still very sick.'

'Something tells me it's far worse then "the sniffles" so what's wrong with him?'

'Plague...'

'Bubonic?', came a tense but calmer voice.

'Pneumonic, he survived the worst already but it did damage to his lungs.'

'We are on our way agent Gibbs, don't let my brother do anything stupid,' with that he hung up.

Gibbs growled.

Nobody ever hung up on him, he did the hanging.

But he could forgive this Gabriel, if it was him he'd want to be with his brother too.

Gibbs put the phone down and sat next to Tony whom had fallen asleep.

'Your brother is coming DiNozzo, he said "we" so I guess he's bringing company,' he spoke softly. 'Should be interesting if they're anything like you.'

Gibbs fell asleep in the chair next to Tony's bed trying to get some more rest.

Gabriel Anton DiNozzo doesn't spook easy, but after the phone call with his youngest brother and his boss he had to admit that he was pretty spooked.

His normally olive tanned skin had turned pale in a matter of seconds and his colleagues eyed him worriedly.

'Are you alright doctor DiNozzo?', asked a nurse.

'Yes, I have to leave, I don't know when I'll be back,' he said and walked to the locker room to get changed.

He kept thinking about what he had heard from agent Gibbs.

Pneumonic Plague, how the hell did anyone get Pneumonic Plague!? Bubonic would be bad enough but his little brother never did anything by halves.

He picked up his phone and dialed his dad.

'Hey son, what's wrong?', asked his dad with concern in his voice, Gabriel never called while at work.

'hey papà, how fast can you get the family together and the plane ready to go to DC?'

'Depends on how urgent, what's wrong?'

'Fratelino called, he sounded awful, his boss is with him at the hospital.'

'How bad?'

'Bad papà...really bad.'

'I'll get everyone ready, you get home safe.'

'I will, see you soon,' he said before hanging up.

It wouldn't be long now before they would be in DC to check on their youngest brother and child.
