CHAPTER 7: You Didn't Have To Die This Way,
James 'Jmmy' Palmer

After James 'Jimmy' Palmer started to tell Ducky when:

His vision doubled
and
Trouble swallowing

Then other syptoms began to appear:

Turning of one eyeball
Drooping on the left side of his face

Trouble had started to show with:

Walking and Talking

Jimmy went to see a doctor and had been told he had what was called Brain Stem Glioma. They had tried to treat it, but of course it had only been a few months now.

Breena had stayed beside him through everything.

JIMMY PALMER'S HOSPITAL ROOM...

Now Jimmy lay in the hospital bed and everyone came to visit. It was clear with each passing day it was getting more difficult for Jimmy.

Everyone was there:

Ducky, Breena, Gibbs
Abby and Tim had finally gotten back together
Tony and Ziva had finally gotten together. (They had all broken rule 12, when they started dating)

They had all broken rule 12 and even though Gibbs tried to enforce it, in the end it had not worked. The four continued to break the rule and Gibbs learned nothing would stop them from being together.

They knew Jimmy wouldn't be with them much longer, he was having trouble breathing. He looked around at the team one final time and tried, but could not smile. Then he was gone and Breena leaned against Ducky and cried for the death of the man she had married just six months before. It had been just a little over two and a half months ago they had found out that Breena was pregnant, now baby Palmer would never now his/her father.

Abby leaned on Tim

Ziva leaned on Tony

Tony had continued to call Jimmy the Autopsy Gremlin, but not as much in the last few weeks of his life. Everyone looked at Jimmy now and hours seemed to go by, but it had not been that long.

Abby, Tim, Tony, Ziva and Gibbs left to give Breena time with Jimmy. Ducky had stayed only a minute longer and after asking if she wanted him to stay, he to left the room. Now six stood outside Jimmy's hospital room and Breena could be heard still sobbing.

A FEW DAYS LATER...
THE FUNERAL OF JIMMY PALMER...

They stood around the grave as the service was held. It seemed to go fast and for a few minutes Breena and Jimmy's NCIS family stayed bside the grave. Finally Breena was left once again by him to say a final goodbye.

Just before the funeral Breena had been talking to the team. She said she hoped the baby was a boy that looked like Jimmy.

Now with a final goodbye...they all left.

Abby leaning on Tim...
Ziva leaning on Tony
Gibbs and Ducky

Then the last to leave was Breena, Ducky had given her a ride. Now they were on their way to Ducky's house, all of them beside Breena.

Breena said she needed to go home and be by herself for a while, concern was shown from everyone.

Ducky gave her a ride home and made sure she made it inside, before he left.

NOW THIS WAS THE FINAL GOODBYE TO THE LAST TEAM MEMEBER OF...THE BEST TEAM OF NCIS...
