Deal Breaker
Everything was topsy turvy in the hotel room in Paris. For once it was Jenny who was wide awake and Gibbs who was fast asleep. A little snore escaped his mouth. Jenny smiled.
"You didn't tell me you snored," she whispered, making sure not to wake him, "good job it's not a deal breaker for me,"
Jenny heard was she had said. She had talked to Gibbs like he was her boyfriend not her lover. Like what was happening on their mission was going to continue once they were using passports with their own names on them. She had started to imagine a future with Gibbs. Maybe, she could be the final Mrs. Gibbs, maybe they could have children and maybe he would stop whispering Kelly in his sleep.
But that did not fit into her five-point plan. She was not going to be the first female and hopefully the youngest director of NCIS or catch her father's killer with Gibbs weighing her down. She was not as naïve to believe that she could have both children and a career like hers.
She had made her choices. She had made her bed and now she had to lie in it.
Gibb had woken up. He had woken himself up with a vicious nightmare.
"Go to sleep, Jen," he mumbled as he lay in a state of half wakefulness and half sleep.
"Sorry, Jethro," she whispered as she tried to get comfortable. He wrapped his arms around her. She did not resist his embrace.
"Don't apologize," he began.
"It's a sign of weakness," she continued, quoting his rule as he slept.
Jenny closed her eyes. Slowly sleep overcame her.
She dreamed of a little red head boy with Gibbs' piercing blue eyes. She always dreamt of what she would never have.
