Hey guys! Here is another one shot from me. I am working on the next chapters of Truth or Dare and Operation Jibbs but they are taking AGES so sorry about that.
I have also started to rewatch Season 15 because it is AMAZING. Like Jack is literally the definition of GIRL POWER and OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ELLIE'S JUMPERS ARE SO SNAZZY I WANT THEM ALL.
Anyway, I am going to shut up now. Enjoy this guys, thanks for reading! Xx
Jenny Shepard rose from the chair in her study to answer the door. When she opened it, she saw her former lover.
"Jethro" she sighed. "What are you doing here?
"Can't a guy just come by to catch up with his old partner?" He said.
"Come in" Jenny replied curtly and she stood to the side to let him in.
As Gibbs went in, he made sure that his body brushed against hers lightly before he went through to her study.
'Did his body just brush against mine?' Jenny thought. 'Oh well, it was probably a mistake.'
The redhead went through to her study to see him sitting on her sofa. She sat down opposite him and there was a few minutes of silence.
"Why are you here?" Jenny repeated.
"I wanted to see if you were OK" he said softly.
"I'm fine" she replied, her face in a carefully arranged mask.
"I know you, remember? You're not alright Jen" Gibbs reminded her.
Jenny let out a sob and tears streamed down her face.
"What's wrong, Jenny?"
"I'm not cut out for this, Jethro. I never killed La Grenouille, no matter what anyone says and to make it even worse, most people think that I just slept my way to the top" Jenny said through her tears. "Even Colonel Mann"
"You didn't though" Gibbs told her.
"I know that, Jethro! You are the only man I ever slept with, and that wasn't because you were just some fling, it was because I actually loved you!" Jenny reminded him angrily.
"I know, Jen" Gibbs replied softly.
"I'm gonna resign. Once I come back from my leave, I'm gonna resign" Jenny decided.
"Jen, you can't do that" Gibbs said quickly.
"Why not? I can do whatever I want Jethro, you're not the boss of me" she replied.
"The agency needs you" Gibbs told her.
"And what about you?" She asked him.
"I need you more" he whispered.
"I can't do this anymore. I can't be Director. It's too hard. Every time I look at you or Ducky or Tony or Ziva or McGee or Abby I'm reminded of a mistake that cost me everything" Jenny replied.
"Jen, they care about you. I know that for a fact" Gibbs said.
"And you? What about you, Jethro? Do you care about me?" She questioned him.
"I don't just care about you Jen, I love you. I never stopped. Don't quit Jen, please" Gibbs whispered.
"OK, I won't" she promised before he laced their fingers together and she kissed him on the lips softly.
"Why are you taking personal leave?" He asked after a few moments of silence.
"My Mom's dying. My sister has been in the hospital with her since the start and I haven't seen either of them for over 5 years" Jenny told him sadly.
"Jen, I'm so sorry" Gibbs replied.
"It's not your fault Jethro" Jenny reminded him.
"Do you want me to come?" He asked her.
"I can manage" Jenny said.
"I love you Jen"
"I love you too Jethro, I never stopped either"
Please leave me a review x
