'I'm looking forward to this.' Tony said excitedly as he placed his bag into the trunk of Ziva's car, with Ziva following close behind him.
'Yes I'm rather looking forward to it myself.' She replied as she also threw her bag into the car.
It had been decided that the whole team would spend Christmas and New Year together, given that most didn't have family to spend or wanted to spend Christmas with, so Jenny had booked a cabin in Virginia for everyone for a full two weeks.
McGee had been placed in charge of the shopping supplies for the two weeks that they'd be together. He held his very large shopping list in one hand and his shopping cart in the other, carefully guiding it round the aisles. He was grateful for the fact that he'd been smart enough to pack his bags the previous night, and couldn't wait to give Penny her present.
Abby arrived at Ducky's house with her bag in hand, black tinsel in her hair and festively decorated skull earrings in. She was very excited about the whole trip and about Christmas. Between her and Penny the whole team had known exactly how many sleeps, hours, minutes and seconds it was until Christmas day. She was going to be going in Jimmy's car along with Ducky. She just hoped he had enough space for all their luggage and presents.
As Ducky opened the door to the young Goth he was greeted by a blur of black as she lunged herself at him in a bone crushing hug.
'Hello Abby.' He greeted her with a slightly stifled laugh, but with a very large smile.
Over in Georgetown Jenny was once again sat on her bathroom floor next to the toilet, where she had been for the last twenty minutes. This had been a regular routine for the last two or three days and she knew exactly what could be causing her sickness, but didn't want to admit it for several reasons. Her first reason being that she didn't want to get her hopes up in case she was wrong, and her second reason was that she was terrified. She was terrified of being pregnant in case she lost it again, and she couldn't bear the thought of going through that pain again. Penny on the other hand had other ideas.
Knocking lightly on the bathroom door she was surprised to find that it was unlocked. She entered quietly and she couldn't help feel sorry for her mom. She was ghostly white and looked exhausted, but they both knew that the look normally passed by the early afternoon. Kneeling down beside her Penny placed a comforting hand on Jenny's back and handed her a long white box.
'What's this?' Jenny asked as she glanced wearily at her daughter.
'It's a pregnancy test.' Penny replied simply and felt a little annoyed at her mom's reluctant look. 'You have to find out if you're pregnant Mom, come on, this is what you and Gibbs have been waiting months for. I know you're nervous after the miscarriage and everything, but that only happened because of the explosion and the trauma, it wasn't anything due to you.' She said in an almost pleading voice.
Jenny knew that her daughter was right and she reluctantly took the pregnancy test from Penny's hand.
'OK you're right. But whilst I'm doing the test I want you to find Jethro alright?' She replied forcefully.
'Absolutely Madam Director.' Penny replied with a mocked smile, to which Jenny replied with an attempted Gibbs slap to the back of Penny's head, who managed to duck out of the way in time.
Penny disappeared in search of Gibbs, and found him putting suitcases into the trunk of his car.
'How long does your mother think we're going away for? Anyone would think we were going away for a month.' He said to her as she approached him, just as he was hauling another suitcase into the back.
'Ah well you know Mom, she likes to be prepared for every eventuality.' Penny replied with a smile. 'Anyway she wants to see you for a few moments.' She added.
'That sounds ominous.' Gibbs replied with a slightly concerned expression.
'Yeah well it might be nice…just go and find out will ya?' She replied impatiently.
By the time Penny had left and returned with Gibbs Jenny's five minute wait was up. She walked towards the bathroom door in a daze as she looked at the small white stick in her hand and felt the tears pricking at her eyes. She slowly opened the door to be greeted by an excited look from Penny and a confused one from Gibbs.
'Well…?' Penny asked.
Jenny looked at Gibbs with a broad smile and tears freely running down her face. He noticed the pregnancy test in her hand and looked at her with anticipation. Unable to speak she just nodded her head and threw her arms around him. He picked her up and kissed her passionately before placing her on the floor again to look at the test.
'I'm assuming this means I'm going to be a big sister then?' Penny said with excitement.
'Yes it does Penelepops, yes it does.' Jenny replied happily as she hugged into the man she loved as he lovingly placed his hand over her stomach.
