A/N: I was told we needed more Jibbs here, so I gave it another try.

I don't own, but Gibbs belongs to Jenny

Maybe

If I had one single wish
I go back to the moment I kissed
Do you goodbye no matter how hard I tried
I can't live without you in my life

She's gone for a while now… It could never have worked. She didn't understand. So she retired and left for Hawaii. I couldn't live that life again. I need the adrenaline, the excitement, the thrill of the life we lead. I need my family. Tony, who tries so hard to follow my footsteps. Ziva, who is tough on the outside, but shows me her real side. McGee, who still jumps whenever I give him my best Gibbs' stare. And my youngest one, Abby, who gets away with anything she pulls off. And then there is of course Ducky… my trusted friend and confidant. I need my family… but most of all I need to have back what I once lost. I need Jen…

Maybe you say you still want me
Maybe you say that you don't
Maybe we say it was over
Baby I can't let you go

I open her door, but not with the usual quick swift. Of course, only I would enter her office without knocking. She's standing there, staring out the window. She doesn't even turn although she heard me enter. I watch her for a few seconds, before I close the distance between us.

"Jen… you okay?" I ask with concern as I put my hands on her shoulders. "Fine Jethro…" she jumps a bit and I see a tear rolling from her eye in the reflection of the window. "Jen, you've been crying?" "I said I'm fine, Jethro." She reassures in a sob, still she wipes her tear down before she turns to me. Not buying that for a second.

I walk around trying to understand
Where we were wrong and I can't pretend
It wasn't me it wasn't you
But I'm convinced we gave up too soon

"Is there anything I can do for you, Agent Gibbs?" she swiftly turns into Director Mode. Oh no, you don't. "Cut the crap, Jen. What's going on?" I demand to know. She's still not answering. "Jen…" I warningly say while I see her fear and I pin her to the wall.

"Tell me what's wrong, Jen." I huskily whisper into her ear. "Jethro… I… I once left you because I needed to see the world, now…" she starts. And I look in those bright green eyes and she doesn't even twitch. "Now what, Jen?" I need to know. "Now… I think I need a safe harbor, Jethro. I think I need… you" she finally admits.


Maybe you say you still want me
Maybe you say that you don't
Maybe we say it was over
Baby I can't let you go

Silently I'm counting my blessings, that this beautiful red head still wants me. And yet, I'm not giving in, even if I came to her for the very same reason. She carefully studies my next move.

"You think you need me, Jen?" I react in my usual manner. "Think, Jen?" I smirk. She carefully approaches me with a sparkle in her eyes. "No Jethro… I know I need you, I need to have back what I lost then." Then I feel her soft lips brush mine. God, that feels good.


Nothing that you lose was up to losing you
There's nothing I can take
When I run to you, when I come for you
You tell me I'm too late

"Mmm… Jen?" I tease. "Yes, Jethro?" she hoarsely says. "The reason I came up here…" An anxious look appears in her eyes, "is to tell you I think the same." I chuckle. Her surprised look makes way for a small smile. "You think, Jethro?" Now she pins me to the wall. "No Jen… I know for sure." I laugh.

Another little tear comes from her eye. My thumb wipes it away and I softly pull her closer to into me and brush her lips. Willingly she opens them and allows me to deepen the kiss. The only time I let go of her is so we both can catch our breath.


Maybe you say you still want me
Maybe you say that you don't
Maybe we say it was over
Baby I can't let you go
