Ok I know I started a story with Jenny's mother coming but I deleted it as I didn't like it and I wasn't sure where I was going with it and I think this will be much better so please read and review. This is the same universe as 'chasing love', 'A day out with dad' and 'home is where the heart is', I have also added a dog for fun and the song. but you don't have to have read them all that matters is that you know Jen never left in Paris and she didn't kill the frog.

The chapters and name of this story are lines from the song 'Father and Daughter' by Paul Simon.

I'm gonna watch you shine

Chapter 1

Jenny Gibbs stood in front of MTAC, looking over her kingdom. She looked at all her teams hard at work.

She had been in meetings and running ops for the past three days and hadn't had a chance to see her husband or their two children and she missed them dearly.

So here Jenny waited for Cynthia to come out and tell her that SEC-NAV was ready for her on the MTAC feed, she hoped he would hurry up as he was the last thing she needed to do before spending her first free weekend in a while with her family.

The shrill cry of her phone brought her from her thought's "Gibbs" she answered.

"Hey Jen it's me" Her husband's voice sounded through the phone.

"Hey" she said, a smile gracing her lips.

"What time do you think you'll be home?" he asked.

"Umm it depends how long SEC-NAV wants to talk to me, after I'll be free and all yours" she said looking at her watch before her smiled turning into more of a grin.

"All mine really, I won't have to share you with the kids?" he asked knowing the answer.

"Speaking of the kids how are they?" she asked just as Cynthia began to approach her.

"They miss you, all I've had for the past three days is' when is mummy coming home?'" he said smiling as he walked past the lounge watching their two children sitting watching cartoons.

"I'll try and be as fast as I can, I have to go" Jenny said looking at Cynthia who nodded "Love you, see you soon" she continued.

"Love you Jen, bye" he said before putting the phone down and turning back to prepare the dinner, hoping his wife would be home soon.

"He waiting for you in MTAC" Cynthia said with a smile, watching as Jenny put her phone away, took a deep breath and turned on her heals before walking to the eye scanner.

"You can go home Cynthia, I'm going as soon as this is over" the redhead said as the door opened.

"Thank you, have a nice weekend director" Cynthia said with a smile before walking away.

"You too Cynthia" Jenny called after her before walking into MTAC and getting ready to face her boss before leaving for the weekend.

Twenty minutes later Jenny walked out of MTAC very excited to get home. She quickly walked to her office.

She put on the coat that Gibbs had given her in Europe, and pulled her pony tail out of her coat and smiled at the pictures on her desk, one of her father, one of her and Jethro on their wedding day and one of their two children, both giving smiles so similar to her own, God she had missed them, there were days when they could be a pain in her ass but she wouldn't swap them or her family for anything ever, she shuddered to think what her life would be like if Gibbs hadn't chased her through the airport and stopped her from making the biggest mistake of her life.

After running a finger quickly over the picture of her children's smiling faces she turned off the light and walked out of the office that had her name on it, locking the door behind her and heading for the elevator.

As she walked out she said goodnight to the night shift all of whom were not surprised to see the director leaving an hour after the work day was done.

Twenty minutes later Jenny pulled into the driveway of her home, happy to see that the downstairs light were one meaning they weren't in the basement, working on the boat.

Gibbs was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper catching up on the latest sports or at least trying too if he wasn't thinking about his wife too much. Their three year old daughter Callie sat next to him her eyes glued to the cartoon he had put on the keep her and her brother entertained.

Owen their seven year old son sat on the floor in front of the TV petting the four year old golden retriever Sam who was like his best friend.

The sound of the key in the door made Callie look at her dad wide eyed and Sam perk his ears up carouse if who was coming through the door.

As the front door swung open and the sound of the key's hitting the dish then Jenny's voice was heard "Honey I'm home" she said with a slight smile.

"Mummy" Callie said jumping up from the sofa and going into her mother's awaited arms who hugged her before lifting her up.

"Hey Callie cat, how you been?" she asked before pressing a kiss to the little girls forehead.

"Missed you" she said with a smile that could light up the whole world.

"Missed you too baby" she said giving her another kiss just as Sam and Owen came into the hall.

She put Callie down before hugging her seven year old "You have to tell me all about kindergarten when we have dinner ok" she said and the boy nodded excitedly.

Sam was just about to jump up at her when she turned and scratched him behind the ear making him wag his tail.

"You too need to wash up before dinner" Gibbs instructed his children as he walked in.

"Sure dad" Owen said before heading to the bathroom and Callie followed him.

This left Jenny and Gibbs with a few precious moments alone together; he stepped forward and put a hand around his wife's waist pulling him closer to her "Hi" he whispered making her smile.

"Thanks for looking after the kids for the last couple of days, I'll make sure it won't happen again" she said resting her forehead against his, her green eyes looking into his dreamy blue.

"The kids were fine, missed you though" he said knowing the trap he had just been caught in by saying that.

"Only the kids missed me" she said with a pretend pout.

"I guess the dog probably did too" he said causing her to playfully hit him in the chest "OK I'll admit it I missed you too" he said causing her to smile and bring her face closer.

"Better" Jenny said with her lips miller meters from his before finally kissing him, his lips felt good against hers after not being able to kiss him for the past three days, if they had met it was only full of them arranging what to do with Owen and Callie and usually ended with him saying her would deal with it and telling her not to worry.

"I missed you" Jenny said resting her head against his again, panting for breath that he had just taken away from her.

Then a loud beep came from the kitchen "Dinner" he said with a smile before letting go of her hip but taking her hand in his as they walked to the kitchen.

Soon the sound of their children's footsteps and the dog's paws on the floor could be heard and like a blur they entered. Owen and Callie took their seats and the dinner table and same sat in his bed in the corner of the kitchen.

"Chicken nuggets a la Gibbs" Gibbs said putting the plates of Chicken nuggets, potatoes and peas in front of the two children.

"Your silly" Callie said with a giggle "But I love yah" she continued reaching up and kissing his cheek. Jenny laughed before putting her and Gibbs's dinner down in their places before taking her seat.

An hour and a debate whether Callie should eat another forkful of peas and Owen filling Jenny in on what she had missed, Gibbs was beginning to wash the dishes while Jenny gave the children a bath.

Just as he finished the last plate he heard Sam coming up behind him, he turned and looked down at the sandy coloured dog that had stolen Jenny's heart the moment she had set eyes on him and that was Owen's best friend.

He gave him a soft pat on the head before putting the last plate in the cupboard with the others before moving into the lounge and sat back down in his seat and began to read the rest of the paper he had been reading earlier.

Ten minutes later he felt very familiar arms on his shoulders. He smiled, dropping the newspaper into his lap before reaching up and rested his hands on top of hers as she leant down and kissed the side of his head. "The kids are waiting for you to say goodnight" Jenny whispered into his ear making him shiver slightly.

He took a deep breath before standing up and walking to the hall just as there came a soft knock at the door. Jenny and Gibbs both looked at each other concerned. "I'll get it you, go to the kids, I'll be up soon" Jenny said giving him a reassuring smile. Gibbs nodded before walking up the stairs as Jenny turned towards to the door.

There was another knock again just as she was about to grab the handle. She looked the man up and down he was wearing a dark trench coat and a hat much like Ducky would wear covering his face.

"Can I help you?" She asked confused as to why some stranger was standing on her doorstep at this time of the night, but then he took of his hat.

"Dad?"

TBC…maybe

Cliff hanger, should I continue or quit while I'm ahead.
