Hi everyone, I know I should really be working on 'Sisters Of Magic', but I have had this idea running around my head for the past few days, so I am going to have to write it ^_^, it's mainly a Jibbs story, but I will also be including bits of Tiva and McAbby as well.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't NCIS; if I did then Jenny would never have died!
Bit of background to the story: The date is Valentine's day 1991. Gibbs has been married 3 times already, Shannon, Diane and Sarah (I couldn't find the name of his third wife so I made it up). Shannon and Kelly have died before Gibbs went on Operation Desert Storm. He has divorced both of his other wives. Since the end of the Paris Operation with Jenny in 1988 (couldn't find a date for that so made it up) he has been made leader of his NCIS team in 1990, Tony, Ziva, McGee and Abby have joined the team (Kate isn't in this fic) but Jenny isn't made director till 2009. The prologue is the only chapter set in the past; I am setting the rest of the story in 2012. I will however be including flashbacks. In my story Jenny isn't sick either, but she has met Ziva before she joined NCIS.
Prologue
There weren't many things which made Leroy Jethro Gibbs nervous. Gun battles, wars he could handle. His emotions were what let him down; especially today.
"Jethro, are you alright?" a familiar voice caused Gibbs to try to cap his shaking emotions.
"Fine Ducky."
"You do know that it's ok to be nervous Jethro?"
"Yes Ducky, I have done this three times before!"
"Well then what's to worry about?"
"I haven't felt like this about anyone since Shannon died."
"What about Diane and Sarah?"
"Just trying to fill the void left by Shannon and Kelly's deaths." Ducky sighed. He knew just how hard Jethro had taken the deaths of his first wife and daughter. Mike Francis stood up to join Ducky and his probie.
"Probie, you will always love Shannon and Kelly, god knows you went to pieces after they died, but now you have been given a second chance at love, or more appropriately a fourth chance!" Laughter erupted from the three men.
"Don't screw this one up; she's a very special woman."
"I know boss, I know." Gibbs allowed his mind to flashback to the first time he met his future wife. They were meeting each other for the first time a week before they were due to work an undercover operation together. She looked just as beautiful then as she did now. Her hair fell down her back and shimmered in the light, her bright blue eyes dazzled him, and her personality? Gibbs had never met anyone he was more in sink with.
His mind continued to drift back to their first meeting. They had met at headquarters to make sure they knew what was expected of them. Gibbs hadn't been happy. He had just arrived back from his tour of Operation Desert Storm, when he was told that he had been selected to take part in the mission, with a new agent. This had made Gibbs even madder. Not only was he tired and looking forward to spending sometime working on his boat, but he would now have to work with a new inexperienced agent who probably worked exactly to the book. He couldn't have been further from the truth. Ducky had met the woman before hand, by order of the Sec Nav as he would also be working the operation with them. This had cheered Gibbs up a little bit; at least he would be working with his old friend. Ducky had told him that this agent wasn't anything like he ever seen before. She was head-strong and confident, but at the same time was eager to learn. This had made Gibbs keener to meet his new partner, and when they had met, he hadn't been disappointed. She was everything Ducky had told him and more.
Gibbs was interrupted from his dream by Mike tapping his shoulder.
"Here we go." The three men turned to face the woman walking towards them. Her long red hair was pulled up onto her head in a bun, her eyes sparkled like millions of tiny little diamonds, and her dress, Gibbs had never seen anything so beautiful. The snow white strapless dress fell to her ankles, showing off the curves of her body that Gibbs loved so much. Her small but perfectly formed bump neatly on display for the entire world to see. Gibbs held his breath; she had never looked so beautiful. Gibbs watched with anticipation as she came closer and closer until she was within touching distance. Passing the bouquet of flowers to her best friend and maid of honour Ziva David, she turned to face Gibbs.
"Please everyone take your seats." Ducky, Mike and Ziva sat down.
"Ready?"
"Always Jethro." Gibbs still couldn't believe it was all real. He was marrying the woman he loved, they were going to have a baby together in just over 5 months; his life couldn't be more perfect.
"Lady and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Leroy Jethro Gibbs do you take Jennifer Catherine Shepard to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"And Jennifer Catherine Shepard, do you take Leroy Jethro Gibbs to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"Does anyone here have a reason why these two people should not be wed, if so speak now or forever hold their peace." Silence filled the room.
"The by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife, you may now kiss the bride." Gibbs took Jenny in his arms and gave her the most passionate kiss he had ever given anyone. Jenny slipped her arms around his neck and kissed back with just as much passion. Applause came from the three guests.
"I love you Leroy Jethro Gibbs."
"I love you too Jennifer Catherine Gibbs."
There we go, I hope you have enjoyed my story, please leave a review and I hope to post another chapter soon, and sorry the background to the chapter was so long, I kinda got carried away ^_^
