Chapter one

Jenny Shepherd sat in the front row of MTAC watching the mission that Tom was running develop and unfold on the screen in front of her.

She heard her former boss and lover enter the room and had begun to speak to the current Director and if she was honest with herself it sent shivers down her spine.

She sat there with berated breathe as Gibbs and the Director finished up their conversation and then slowly rose to her feet and turned round.

"Hello Jethro." She greeted him with a smile.

Jethro stood there frozen on the spot as the flashbacks ran behind his eyelids.

"Jen." He greeted her in return.

"Shall we skip the you haven't changed in a bit bull." She resorted the rhetorical question at him.

"Why start lying to each other now Jen." Gibbs throw back at her.

Jenny turned on her heels and exited MTAC with Gibbs not far behind her.

"I've missed you, Jen." Gibbs told her as they reached the middle of the stairs, with Gibbs over taking her so that he was able to face her as he told her.

"There will be no off the job, Agent Gibbs." Jenny replied with a cold tone and expression to match.

"That's a shame, I've missed you. Jen." Gibbs told her, with his trade mark smirk in place.

Jenny ignored him and proceeded to make her way down to the bullpen, with not having to look behind her to know that Gibbs following her.

"Agent DiNozzo, are you finished with your paperwork?." Jenny asked him.

"Yes Ma'am." Tony replied.

"Very well, you all may go home." Jenny said, addressing the entire team.

"Director." Jenny heard Gibbs speak from behind her, were he had been standing since Jenny had entered the bullpent to speak to the team.

"Yes, Agent Gibbs, is there a problem?." Jenny asked through gritted teeth.

"No Director." Gibbs replied as he set his jaw.

Once the little confronation was over between the two bosses the team didn't weast anymore time in high tailing out of there.

They had just reached the elevator when their bosses voice bounced off the walls of the bullpen so loud that the agents swore that they could feel them vibrate.

"Did I say you could leave?". He yelled at his team so loud Jenny physically flinched at the volume of him voice.

A number of "No boss." and "Sorry boss.". soon followed as the team made there way back to their desks.

Jenny looked at Gibbs and he knew if looks could kill he would one deas man ten times over.

"Special Agent Gibbs, I am the Director of this agency and if I want to relieve a team of duty then I will and I do not have to consult with you. Now I have dismissed your team because they have been working 37 hours straight and you and I both know that they are exhausted and need some rest at least." Jenny ever so calmly informed him, all the while trying to keep her breathing under control, because the last thing that she wanted to do was lose her temper in the middle of the bullpen on her first day of being Director.

Gibbs knew by the look on his former partners, lovers and now bosses face that she meant business and who was he to dare try to challenge her.

With a grunt Gibbs let his team go.

Once the team had been given permission to leave, they rode the elevator to the NCIS parking lot, once there the team said there goodbyes and got in their cars.

Mcgee quickly drove off towards his apartment, but Tony held back.

"Kate, shall we just take my car and then come back early in the morning to collect yours?." Tony asked the beautiful woman in front of him.

"You read my mind." Kate replied, with the smallest of smiles.

The two agents reached Kate's apartment and preceeded to get out of the car when Tony's voice grounded her to a halt.

"Kate, can I come in?." He asked, sheepishly.

Kate just rolled her eyes at him and nodded her head to indicate that it was ok to for him to come into her apartment.

Once they had made it to the surprisingly warm apartment, considering the hours they had just worked.

Tony made himself comfy on the sofa while Kae made them some drinks.

"Today was really something, wasn't it?." Tony aske rhetorical question.

"It make you think." Kate told him, as she turned to face him.

"Yeah, that it does." Tony smiled at her.

"Well I'm tired, I'm going to bed, lock up for me?." She asked and began to make her way down the hall.

"Kate!" Tony called after her.

"Yeah". She answered.

"Lets just sell my apartment and I'll move in here, I mean there's no point anymore in having two apartments, because do you know I'm done all the secretesy, I nearly lost you today. Your my wife and to hell with what Gibbs or anybody else says or thinks, if I lose my job then I lose my job." Tony told her.

Kate just smiled at him and that was all the confirmation that he needed.

Once they team had gone, Jenny made her way to her office, to which Gibbs soon followed, once there Gibbs exploded like a man processed.

"Who to hell to you think you are?." Gibbs yelled at her.

"Last time I checked my birth certificate it said Jennifer Marie Shepherd." Jenny sicastically replied.

"Don't be smart, Jen it doesn't suite you." Gibbs returned in frustration.

"I'm not, you asked me a question and I answered it." Jenny replied, again with sarcastic.

"Is that what you do now, is it? your not content with breaking people's hearts, you have to be ignorant and rude too? that's real nice Jen, very smooth." Gibbs yelled back at her, knowing as soon as the words left him mouth that it was a low blow even for him.

Once he looked up and saw the look of hurt and devastation on her face, his heart dropped into his stomach and he knew he well and truly had gone to far.

"Jen, I didn't mean that, I was ju.." Gibbs cut himself short once he seen the tears that made there way down Jenny's checks and Leroy Jethro Gibbs knew that it took a heel of alot for Jennifer Marie Shepherd to cry.

"That was one of the hardest decision of my life I've ever had to make and how dare you throw that in my face?" Jenny yelled at him.

Gibbs jsut stared at her.

"What? Not got a snide or sarcastic comeback? Anything else you want to throw at me while your at it? why don't you go for the hatrick because I know you hate me." Jenny yelled at him again.

Before Gibbs knew what he was doing he had marched over to were Jenny was standing and gripped her by arms and yelled at her.

"I could never hate you, Jen I don't want Jenny the Director or Jenny the agent I want you Jen, the woman I love, I want just my wife back." Gibbs whispered to her and let go of her arms and pulled her into the tightest of hugs, to which Jenny broke down as Gibbs gently rocked her back and forth.
