Title: Memories From The Past

Author: Libratine

Characters: Jenny, Gibbs, Ziva, Tony, Abby, McGee, Ducky, Vance

Paring: Romantically: Jibbs, Tiva, Friendship: Every character and Jenny, but right now I'm thinking mainly Jenny/Tony

Spoilers: Uhm, a little bit of everything, I think, but mainly the Jibbs moments.

Disclaimer: Don't own NCIS. I do however own every single grammatical mistake in this story…

This is a story for you if: You like a more flirtatious out-spoken Jenny. Like a jealous Ziva and a conspiraring and sometimes embarrased Tony. Want to know why Jenny said: "Well enough to know that I would like her I she wasn't an arms dealer" in regards to her relation to the Black Rose. Want to know why Jenny left Gibbs in Paris. Want some answers on the holes in the Rene Benoit-storyline. Want to explore Jenny's similarities and friendship with all the other characters. The list could go on...But most importantly this is a story for you if you like Jibbs and/or Tiva.

AN: This is completely different and hopefully not as angsty as the other stories I've written. I know the storyline "Jenny loses her memory" may have been used before but what the hell it's a nice storyline ;) Also my medical knowledge is suffering especially about coma, so there'll be some mistakes there.. Anywat I hope you enjoy it, and reviews are loved, since they make me want to write more!

Chapter One – The accident

It was early in January, the ground was covered in snow and the trees were still glittering because of the Christmas lights people still hadn't gotten around to pack away. Christmas trees were standing in front of peoples' houses ready to be trashed, and those spruce needles there still were, had lost their green color long ago. Kids were playing on the streets, throwing snowballs at each other and building snowmen.

"Don't worry, Cynthia, I'll be there in half an hour", Jenny said into the phone. "Yes I am aware about the meeting at 8… No you don't have to do that, but thanks anyway". She placed a hand over the speaker and asked the driver, "Could you turn left here, please?"

He gave her a short nod, "Of course, director".

"By the way Cynthia I nee…. Hector, the kid!" Jenny screamed, pointing towards a girl who had just run onto the road to fetch her dog. The driver immediately hit the brakes as he tried to maneuver the car around the girl. "No, don't brake…" But Jen's intermission was too late. The car started spinning around and instead of hitting the girl and the dog, the left side of the car collided with a telephone pole.

Cythia's voice was heard through the phone, "Director, are you there? Director? Jenny!"

Jenny slowly opened her eyes, but blinded by the light she instantly closed them again.

"Hey Jen, you're there?" Through her foggy mind she recognized the voice of one Leroy Jethro Gibbs. "If you can hear me, just nod". She nodded. He let out a deep breath and pressed a button, 20 seconds later a nurse appeared. "Could you tell the doctor, that Jennifer Shepard is awake?" The nurse nodded and left.

"Ho… ", she started but had to stop and start over. "How long… was I out?" Her voice was rusty and she spoke with great difficult.

"2 weeks", he replied.

Her eyes immediately opened, "2 … weeks?" she repeated disbelieving, staring at him in shock.

"You were in a coma", he elaborated.

Jenny was about to reply when Dr. Mallard entered. "Ducky!" she exclaimed happily, her eyes lighting up when she saw the familiar face of the old doctor.

"Hello my dear, I didn't know you were awake", he said looking accusingly at Gibbs, taking off the hat he had been wearing.

Jethro raised his hands in defense, "She just woke up".

Ducky turned towards Jenny and stepped closer to the bed. "How are you feeling, Director?" He asked gently.

Jen looked puzzled around before she answered. "Well if you mean me, then I'm doing surprisingly fine, thank you". Her voice was already better, now that she had said a few words.

"Actually" the good doctor pointed out, "you didn't have that many injuries only you're head took a bad hit, so it is not that surprisingly".

"So physically I'm fine?"

Ducky took in her appearance. Her red hair was tousled, the eyes glassy and she had a cut over her eyebrow but aside from that she looked pretty good. No broken arms or legs, just a mildly sprained wrist. "Well, you should take it slowly in the weeks to come, but knowing you, you'll probably be back to work in no time, Director" He gently reassured her.

Jenny looked genuinely confused this time."Why do you keep saying Director? Morrow is not here", she said looking around to see if by any chance she'd missed Tom standing in a corner, grumbling because she hadn't been able to work the past 14 days.

Gibbs and Ducky simultaneously looked at one another but before they got a chance to speak, a woman with black pigtails burst through the door. "You're awake! Yay! We were really worried, especially Ziva, and you know how much that means since she is a crazy assassin, well not crazy, crazy, not that there is anything wrong with that, unless of course you a crazy killer or stalker because then crazy, crazy is just crazy.. ". Jenny's lay in the bed completely overwhelmed by the bouncy woman"… but really it was kinda scary to see you being all in coma and you know being not responsive, and I know Ziva hasn't said anything but I mean, I could just feel it, you know, because she has been all moody an…"

"For goodness sake, breathe woman", Jenny exclaimed looking shocked at the rambling woman in front of her.

Abby took a huge inhale and breathed out before she spoke, "We're just so happy that you're finally awake".

"We?" Jenny questioned.

"You know, me, Ziva, Tony and McGee, even Cynthia has bee.."

Abby was interrupted by Jen, "Who?", she asked, "and what about Jones and Mark? Haven't they been here?" She said looking questioningly at Gibbs.

"What do you mean who?" Abby too turned towards Gibbs, "And who are Mark and Jones?"

Gibbs didn't answer either of the women, his eyes fixated on Jenny and his mind working in overdrive trying to process what was going on. This couldn't be happening; it had to be some sort of cruel joke, all his not-so-political-correct-actions added together and paid back by the universe, or bad karma or something equally stupid. "Jenny", he finally let out, "what year is it?"

"What are you talking about?" She looked amused at him, "it's 1999, what else would it be?"

AN2: So this was the first chapter… Jenny may seem a bit OOC in the chapters to come, but that is how I imagine her as a field agent. Reviews are very much appreciated and feel free to give constructive criticism since it's the only way for me to improve the story :)

And a quick question: I can for the life of me remember the name of the doctor treating Gibbs in Hiatus only that it was starting with Tod or something?… so if anybody could help that would be really nice :D

And another quick question: Do you guys prefer longer chapters but not as frequent updates, or do you rather want frequent updates but then the chapters won't be that long? I know that frequent, long updates would be ideal but I'm not sure I have the time for that, unfortunately :)
