Jimmy Palmer was struggling to stay awake and focus on the body he was autopsying. To say that he was exhausted was an understatement. He wasn't this sleep deprived when Tori was first born and, Breena and him were taking turns getting up to tend to her needs. Tori was for the most part sleeping through the night, it was Breena keeping him awake. When he wasn't taking care of her needs, he was wide awake worrying about her.

"MR. PALMER!" Ducky cried.

"What is it, Dr. Mallard?" Jimmy asked groggily.

"Is there a reason you are sewing me into Mr. Rollins?" Ducky asked.

"Oh Dr. Mallard I am so sorry. I am just so exhausted." Ducky rambled.

"It is alright Mr. Palmer but you do not need to be working in your condition. Go up to Abigail's lab and lie down. I can finish up here." Ducky replied.

"Are you sure?" Jimmy yawned.

"Quite now get some rest and come in fresh tomorrow!" Ducky ordered.

Ducky was going increasingly more perplexed by Jimmy's behavior. It seemed as if the younger man was having a harder time staying focused and more concerning staying awake. Several times he had answered his phone at crime scenes. Even though such actions were expressly forbidden by Jethro. He was leaving abruptly in the middle of the day almost everyday. Each time saying that he either had to be with Breena or pick up Victoria. He also carried around a degree of sadness and fear that Dr. Mallard had not seen before. Knowing that he had to get back to Mr. Rollins before Jethro became angry. He made a mental note to speak with the younger man the next day.

Breena struggled to walk through the pharmacy. Her dad had sent her to pick up a prescription as he had to handle a funeral. In Ed's defense she hadn't had a migraine when he he asked her. That had come on out of the blue when she was driving. She had managed to make it to the pharmacy but knew she would never make it home. She figured she could get checked out at their small urgent care. She could rest there and somebody could call Jimmy to pick her up. She was halfway to the pick up area when she couldn't walk any further. She leaned heavily on the shelf and held onto her head, praying the moment would pass. The last thing she saw before collapsing was a large figure rushing towards her.

Tony's day was not going at all how he had planned. Tali had woken up feverish and cranky. Her temperature was just below the point where it was recommended to take her to the doctor. So he gave her something for pain and drew her a cold bath. When he was drying her off her rubbed her ear and she screamed. The key tip off to an ear infection. He spoke with his neighbor a mother of four and she advised he take her in and get her some antibiotics. Sure enough she had an ear infection and a prescription was called in. Tali was feeling terrible so he opted to leave her with his neighbor and then go grab the prescription. As he made his way to the pickup area he noticed Breena hunched over the shelf holding her head and obviously in pain. He started over towards her to ask if she was OK. When she started to collapse. He rushed over to her and grabbed her just before she whacked her head on the shelf. He moved her to safety and yelled for somebody to call 911. His body trembled with fear as he watched his friend's wife convulse on the pharmacy floor. How the hell was he going to explain this to Jimmy?

Jimmy stumbled down to Abby's lab and collapsed onto the couch. Derrick gave him a quizzical look and then went back to his work. Jimmy was relieved that Abby was down in New Orleans visiting her brother, Luca for the week and Derrick was filling in. He could really use an Abby hug right now but he wasn't ready to go into details about what was going on with Breena just yet. Derrick was nice enough but he was pretty oblivious to the outside world. He was a whiz in the lab and on top of everything but a marching band could come past him and he wouldn't even give it a second glance. Jimmy closed his eyes but as exhausted as he was, he knew that sleep would not come. He had not been able to relax lately at all lately. Breena had always had hormonal migraines and occasionally would get one if her allergies got bad enough, but recently it was almost a daily occurrence. It broke Jimmy's heart to see his wife so weak. He had taken her to the ER twice already but they could not give any answers. On top of all the anxiety he was up late almost every night taking care of either Tori, Breena, or both. He was in his now usual state of being somewhere between sleep and consciousness. When he was violently jolted to consciousness by the sound of his phone ringing. He didn't even panic anymore he was used to Breena's midday calls that she was home with another migraine. A bizarre feeling of relief and concern washed over him when he saw that it was Tony calling. Why would Tony be calling now? He was back in the United States now and knew Jimmy's work hours. Had something happened to Tali? Why wouldn't he call Gibbs? Maybe he was just not back on Easter Time quite yet. He had only been home for a couple of weeks. Wait maybe this was Breena's number. He didn't have his glasses on so he really couldn't tell. Groaning he answered again expecting to be met with Breena's usual weak voice. Instead he was met by what sounded like a siren and Tony's frantic calls. Maybe something had happened to Tali.

"Jimmy! Oh God! Jimmy!"

"Tony what's going on?"

"It's Breena."

"What do you mean? Breena was at work?"

"Tali has a bad ear infection. I had to take her to the ER and get her some antibiotics. I left her with a sitter to go to the pharmacy and I am glad that I did. While was there I saw Breena and she looked really bad. I am surprised you weren't with her. She was holding her head and seemed like she couldn't even walk. I went to check on her and she just went down. She was having a seizure, a bad one. The medics are here now trying to stabilize her. She's been convulsing for twenty minutes now. God, Jimmy I am so sorry. They said I could ride with her. She's going to Georgetown."
