Two weeks had passed and Jimmy was released to the rehab hospital. Where he would stay for at least another week. After that he would go back to Ducky's indefinitely. Gibbs had come down for two more days to help Jimmy. Then went back to Stillwater with Tony, Emily, and the kids permanently. Tony had managed to get a deal on Widow Hansen's place. She wasn't recovering well from the break and was moving out to Lancaster to live with her daughter and her family. She had been in failing health for the past ten years or so and her house was showing the effects. Luckily it wasn't in disrepair and they had Gibbs help with the repairs. Due to a power outage at city hall and severe weather. The election for a new sheriff of Stillwater had been delayed. On the day of the big election Tony opened the store late and was among the first in line to vote. He stood outside the doors of city hall beside Emily and Gibbs. Emily had brought the kids along. Planning to take them for a day at the swimming hole. Tony would come and pick up baby Jack on his lunch break. So he wouldn't be out in the sun for too long.

"You nervous Boss?" Tony asked.

"A little." Gibbs admitted.

"I am sure you will win. Everybody loves you." Tony assured.

"I hope you are right DiNozzo." Gibbs replied.

"I got my gut from you dad." Tony replied.

"No son that's all you." Gibbs replied.

"How much longer until they open I am starving?" Dylan asked.

"Should be any minute now." Gibbs replied.

"Mommy can I vote for grandpa Gibbs too?" Carly asked.

"No sweetie you have to be eighteen years old to vote." Emily explained.

"Why?" Carly asked.

"Because that's when they think you are old enough to make such an important decision." Tony explained.

"Can Gibbs vote for himself?" Carly asked.

"Of course he can." Dylan replied.

"Really? Because when we voted for line leader we weren't allowed to vote for ourselves." Carly replied.

"That's because everybody would vote for themselves." Dylan replied.

"Aren't they worried that everybody in Stillwater will vote for themselves than?" Carly asked.

"There are only two people who really want the job. Everybody else is just going to decide which of the two they like better. Grandpa Gibbs or the man running against him." Emily explained.

"Well I hope that grandpa Gibbs wins. He is the best." Carly replied.

"We all do Carly." Tony replied.

The afternoon of the election Tony was sitting behind the counter at the general store. He had just picked up Jack and was waiting for Ducky to call about Jimmy. Tony hoped that Jimmy would do well in the rehab hospital and be back on his feet in time for the big house-warming party Tony and Emily were planning. The house-warming would be where they asked for gifts to fill their home and had the huge celebration. So they could just have a simple wedding with only family and close friends. They were also planning on asking people to donate to the American Lung Association, the scholarship fund that Ed had set up in memory of Breena,, DC Children's where Dylan had undergone his treatment, or any charity of their choosing. In lieu of traditional wedding gifts. Max walked into the store, picked up a candy bar and a couple other groceries before walking over to him at the counter.

"Good afternoon Max." Tony greeted.

"Afternoon Tony, I just got done voting. Thought I'd drop by and say hey." Max replied.

"Thanks any idea when the election will be called?" Tony asked.

"Polls don't close until five but this is a small-town and we are only voting for sheriff. So I'd guess before eight." Max explained.

"Cool any idea where I can hear the results quickest?" Tony asked.

"Stillwater Radio and the towns Facebook page will show the results first but if you want the fastest results. You're going to want to wait down at town-hall." Max explained.

"I will tell Gibbs." Tony replied.

"Jethro and Hank will already be there. The candidates have to wait at city-hall." Max replied.

"OK well we will all be there." Tony replied.

"Good luck Tony with everything." Max replied paying his bill and leaving the store.

Ducky ended up calling while Tony was attending to some customers. Once they left Tony took Jack upstairs, changed him, and put him down for his nap. Gibbs was upstairs watching a rerun of Bonanza of Jack's big screen. Tony sat down beside his dad.

"Shouldn't you be at the store?" Gibbs asked.

"I just came up to put Jack down for his nap and call Ducky back. Thought you may want to talk with Duck-man." Tony explained.

"OK but make your part of the call quick." Gibbs replied.

"Yes sir." Tony replied.

Ducky had just pulled into his driveway when Anthony called him back. Jimmy had already had his first major physical therapy session and was asleep when Ducky left the hospital. He put his Morgan in park and answered his cell.

"Hello Anthony?"

"Yeah but we can't talk long. I have to get back to the store."

"I just wanted you to know that Jimmy was checked into the rehab hospital around nine and had physical therapy from eleven to noon. I stayed with him for a while but he fell asleep and I decided to leave."

"Is he doing OK?"

"He is doing great. He will be out in one to three weeks and he did great in therapy today."

"Good well I am going to give the phone over to Gibbs and then head back to the store."

"Oh has Jethro won the election?"

"We won't know until tonight."

"Well call me back as soon as you here anything."

"Will do Ducky.

At seven forty-five Tony, Emily, and the kids were gathered with a group of town residents at town-hall waiting for the votes to be counted. Gibbs and Hank Smith were sitting in the front of the room. While the mayor and town council counted the votes. Baby Jack started to cry so Emily carried him outside. Dylan followed her while Carly played with some of the other kids from town.

"May I have your attention please?" Mayor Roberts called from the podium.

*The room fell silent.*

"We have counted up all the votes and the new sheriff of Stillwater Pennsylvania is Leroy Jethro Gibbs!" Mayor Roberts called.

END

A/N: This seemed like a good place to end the story. Gibbs is sheriff and everybody is doing well I am committed to six separate stories right now. So the sequel won't come until I have completed at least one of them. The sequel will most likely start with Tony and Emily's wedding. Anyway one last time please review and thanks to everybody who read, followed, favorited, and reviewed this one.
