District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Old DC City Hall
1200 Hours
With Noemi, Palmer, and Breena present before a judge, Gibbs and Jenny legally exchange their wedding vows. "I may now pronounce you husband and wife." Justice Morgan announces.
Half an hour later, Gibbs, Jenny, Noemi, Palmer, and Breena are getting their photos taken outside in front of the building. "So this was DC's original City Hall." Palmer asks out loud.
"Until they moved over to the John A. Wilson Building on Pennsylvania Avenue." Gibbs smoothly answers.
"And the reason why you wanted to get married in the original City Hall?" Breena curiously asks.
"They don't hold weddings anymore in the current building." "Judge Holmes is also an old family friend of my mother's and was honored to marry Jethro and I." Jenny softly answers.
"We're touched that you would ask us to witness your wedding ceremony." Breena smiles.
"We figured since the three of you could not be at our wedding in Mexico, that we could make it up to you by attending our legal ceremony." Jenny smiles.
"Abby was jealous because she wanted to attend this one." Palmer laughs.
"I know and I told her that Jethro and I wanted it to be small and intimate with the five of us." Jenny sighs at her dysfunctional daughter wanting to have her way all the time.
"It was small and very beautiful Senora." "I knew one day that you and Senor Gibbs would be married."
"Did you?" Gibbs smirks and gives his wife a knowing look. Jenny is about to answer him, when the photographer asks for them to move at the bottom of the stairs.
Around one o'clock the small wedding party is having lunch at one of Gibbs and Jenny's favorite restaurants, Gordon's the Steakhouse. "I've never been here before." Palmer says in between bites of his Lobster Bisque.
"Jethro and I usually come here for dinner once a month." Jenny answers and begins to dig into her spinach salad.
"I'm a sucker for a good steak and they have fries with their steak."
"And don't forget you like eating the broiled sea scallops as an appetizer." Jenny teases him.
"Everything looks so good on the menu." Breena says in amazement.
"It is I've had most of everything on the menu." Jenny smiles.
"What about Agent Gibbs?" Palmer shrugs.
"Ha, he's fixated on his steak and fries." Jenny laughs.
"I had a center cut prime rib the last time I was here." Gibbs protests.
"It's still considered beef Jethro." Jenny sweetly answers.
"So weird seeing the two of you like this." Breena smiles.
"This is how they normally act at home." Noemi giggles and takes a sip from her glass of water.
"Keep in mind, we're not in the office, we're Jenny and Jethro." Jenny reminds them with a smile on her face.
"And now you're legally Mrs. Leroy Jethro Gibbs." Gibbs affectionately answers and brings Jenny's hand to his mouth.
"So you're sailing to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket for your honeymoon?" Palmer sheepishly asks.
"Yeah, in July, I want to see how the boat handles." Gibbs nods.
"Plan on sailing around Europe once you retire?" Breena nods.
"I'll keep 'The Shepard' docked in Rosario and play it by ear." "Not sure!" Gibbs answers.
Jenny's Blackberry begins to ring. "I bet you it's your favorite." Jenny laughs and takes her phone out of her pocketbook and spots Abby's name on the caller ID. "I was right."
"Don't answer it make her suffer." Gibbs snorts.
Jenny ignoring her husband pushes in the speakerphone button. "Yes Abby!"
NCIS Headquarters
Abby's Lab
Abby sitting at her workstation, with Tony, McGee, and Ziva standing in the background. "Well?" She asks into her speakerphone.
"We're legal!" Gibbs shouts.
"I wish I could have been there." Abby pouts.
"You were there for our wedding in Mexico." Jenny answers and shakes her head.
"I want to see the photos of this one also."
"Soon as we get them in, you'll be the first person we'll show them to." "In the meantime our food is getting cold." "Goodbye Abby!" Jenny answers and hangs up.
"Rats!"
"Abs their eating at a five star restaurant." McGee reminds her.
"We got a Mexican breakfast in the cantina, while Palmer is getting a real steak for lunch." Tony groans.
"Quit whining, we also had our hotel room in LA paid by Jenny." Ziva sighs in annoyance.
"Face it Ziva, DiNozzo isn't happy unless he has something to whine about." McGee smirks trying to get a rise out of Tony.
"You're a lot of laughs, McDofus."
"I just love the names that you come up for Timmy." Abby giggles.
"I believe I have about two hundred of them by now." Tony grins.
"Sticks and stones Tony." McGee laughs.
"We better get back to work." Ziva nods over at her partners and is about to walk out of the room.
"Why?" "Palmer has the afternoon off." Tony shrugs.
"Gibbs will kill us." McGee grumbles.
"Remember what the Director had told us once before, what Gibbs doesn't know, won't hurt us."
"Tony, what the Director should remember, that in the end Gibbs always finds out." Ziva reminds him.
"And how he does is one of those mystery questions of life." Abby smiles.
An hour later Gibbs walks into the room carrying a Caff-Pow. "Abs!" He calls out.
Abby steps out from her backroom, noting the light tan three button suit, with an ivory and cream striped tie, with a cream colored handkerchief to compliment the suit on the front left pocket. "Wow!" She drools and walks over to him.
"Abby I'm now a married man, control your urges." Gibbs playfully scolds her and hands Abby her Caff-Pow.
"I can't when you look so hot in your suit." Abby smiles and takes in the off white dress shirt he's wearing with his suit. "So you picked out an off white shirt for your suit, it looks sexy."
"I didn't pick it out Jenny did, and it's not off white, it's a Ralph Lauren almond colored shirt." Gibbs corrects her.
"Well the Director has good taste Gibbs."
"And I don't." Gibbs protests.
"Gibbs you wore an all green suit, shirt and tie at Ducky's a few years ago for Thanksgiving."
"What's wrong with that?" Gibbs shrugs.
"It's all the same color and it was an icky green." Abby cringes.
"I like that shade of green." Gibbs pouts.
"Next time wear a white or black shirt underneath of it."
"You're getting just as bad as Jenny, picking on my wardrobe."
"There's nothing wrong with the way you dress, it's just that from time to time you need a Garanimals label inside of your clothes so that you can match up the colors a little better." Abby teases him.
"Shannon had bought Kelly, Garanimals clothing." Gibbs answers with a big smile on his face.
"They were so cool; my parents bought Garanimals for me too." Abby smiles and gets to the subject at hand. "I got a hit on your bedroom set."
"Hopefully it's under three thousand dollars; the last few bedroom sets the antique stores wanted a small fortune for it." Gibbs grumbles.
"Well Gibbs it's close to antique as you gonna get and within your budget." Abby promises and loops left arm into Gibbs' right arm and escorts him into her back room. "I was about to e-mail the page to you."
Gibbs glances down at the computer monitor at a Bastille cherry wood bedroom set. "California King Sized Sleigh bed." Gibbs smiles.
"It's at a furniture store that buys furniture from estates."
"I'm going to head over there after work."
"What about the Director?" Abby curiously asks.
"She's pulling an all-nighter at work."
"On your wedding night." Abby answers with surprise.
"We already had our wedding night." Gibbs smirks.
Suddenly the sounds of Jenny's heels are heard from the other room. "Gibbs!" Abby alerts him.
"I hear her, e-mail me that webpage." Gibbs nods and is about to walk out of the room, when Jenny pops her head into the doorway. "Director!" He innocently answers.
Jenny noting her husband's facial expression. "Ok, what are the two of you up to?"
"Up to what?" Gibbs answers and tries to brush past her as he walks out the door.
Jenny quickly grabs his elbow. "Jethro!"
Abby trying to defuse the situation. "Director can I see your suit?"
Jenny walks into the room. "You're trying to avoid the question?" Jenny answers and folds her arms.
Abby smiles over at Jenny's elegant two-piece Kasper apricot colored suit skirt, with a floral embellished neckline on the jacket. "No I just wanted to see the suit you wore to your wedding." "As usual you have good taste in clothing and I see you had Gibbs looking snappy."
"Did you drool over him?" Jenny laughs.
"Of course I did." Abby giggles.
Gibbs rolls his eyes and is about to exit the room. "Hold it right there." Jenny calls over her shoulder.
"Jen we're not up to anything."
"Ha!"
"Don't you have a suit to kiss ass with up in your office." Gibbs smirks.
"Not for another half an hour."
"Good because I need to be somewhere."
"No you don't, Tony, Ziva, and McGee are out questioning a witness in Fairfax."
With Jenny's full attention now on her husband, Abby sits down at her desk and hides her cell phone under her desk. "This should get Gibbs out of this." Abby mischievously grins to herself.
"Jethro, would you quit surprising me."
"Jenny as usual your imagination is running wild." Gibbs baits her. On cue Gibbs' cell phone begins to ring. Gibbs takes his phone out of his pocket and notices it's an incoming phone call from Abby's cell phone. "Yeah Gibbs!" He answers and pretends to listen in. "I'll be right over." Gibbs answers and hangs up. "DiNozzo had a flat tire, and conveniently the spare is flat also."
"And conveniently it gets you out of this conversation." "Which will be continued either tonight or tomorrow morning?" Jenny warns him and walks out of the room.
Abby waits for the sounds of Jenny's heels to exit the lab. "Gibbs I can't run up and down the stairs for a month." Abby whines.
"Aren't you suppose to be going to a conference in Kansas City next week?"
"Right, so at least I'll have a week's reprieve and by then she may forget all about this."
"Doubt it!" Gibbs laughs and walks away.
"Thanks a lot!" Abby pouts.
Later that night at home, Gibbs is down in his basement staining the Wainscoting panel boards to match up with the light cherry wood finish from the bedroom set that he purchased after work. "The question is how do I keep her out of the basement for the next month." Gibbs laughs.
