A/N: This is probably the stupidest idea for fanfiction ever but I'm going to do it anyways. This is a collection of Jibbs-y one shot stories set to the songs on Taylor Swift's Speak Now CD. Some are AU, some are not, some use a line or two from the song, some use the whole song. They're set at different time periods, some are pre-series, but most will be seasons 3-5. Since these are quick and easy to write I should be able to update daily or every other day. There won't be any long periods without updates unlike certain other stories of mine…
Chapter 1: Mine
"You are the best thing that's ever been mine"
Paris, 1999
Gibbs sat on the bed silently watching his lover sleep next to him. He watched the slow steady rhythm of her breathing and the way her chest rose and fell with every breath. Even in her sleep she looked happy, content with life. It made him smile, she was the first woman since Shannon who made him truly happy. His other ex-wives had made him wonder why we bothered with love if it never lasts. But Jenny was quickly making him believe in love again, that he could love another woman besides Shannon. Jenny and Shannon were too totally different woman, but he could love Jenny and still honor Shannon's memory.
"What are you smiling about?" Jenny asked sleepily. She sat up and rubbed her eyes to adjust to the bright Paris sunlight. Even with her hair messy, no make-up, and sleep in her eyes she was beautiful. She'd never believed it, but he knew it was true.
"You," he answered simply, making her smile.
"Do you remember we were sitting there by the water you put your arm around me for the first time?" She asked referring to their first night as a "real" couple. He had taken her out on a little row boat in the middle of a small river where they sat and watched the sunset and the city lights. It was an incredibly romantic idea that had completely surprised her.
"Yeah I do, Jen. You didn't think I could be that romantic did you?"
She smiled and placed a gentle kiss to his cheek, "No Jethro, I didn't but you never cease to amaze me. Do you remember all the city lights on the water, you saw me start to believe for the first time." Growing up she never believed in love or finding the one. Her parents failed marriage taught her that love never lasted and it was easier to go alone. But there was something about him that made her believe in love, believe that it would last.
"Don't go all sappy on me Jen," he said gruffly with a smile. Despite his tough marine exterior, on the inside he was a sweet, caring man.
"And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM, when everything was slipping right out my hands, I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street, braced myself for the goodbye, cause that's all I've ever known, but you took me by surprise, said I'll never leave you alone." In his defense starting a fight with him after a difficult day was not the greatest idea. But in her defense he had been acting recklessly and could've gotten them killed. The fight quickly escalated until the point where the stress of the mission and everything else had gotten to her and she broke down in tears. She didn't want him to see her like this so she ran out of their apartment at 2:30 AM into the dark wet streets. She hadn't expected him to follow her, but he did. She expected him to declare their relationship over, but he didn't. He simply took her into his big, strong arms and told her he'd never leave her alone.
"That's a promise Jen. And I take promises very seriously."
"I know Jethro, you're the best thing that's ever been mine."
A/N: Aww isn't that cute? I may have stolen the boat idea from the music video for this song, but anyone who's seen it knows how cute it is! Sparks fly will be up tomorrow!
