Jethro wakes early the next morning but is immediately aware that Jenny is already up, the time is 6.30. He really needs to do nothing this morning other than ensure he and Jen leave the house by 10.00. He's booked a car to take them to the registrars as Jen refused to drive to their wedding in a pick up truck and he feels her own small sports car is not practical.

He hears Jenny in the shower and waits until she comes back into the bedroom before getting up himself.

'You're awake then', Jen comments, 'No second thoughts?'

'Hmmm', he moves closer to Jenny and greets her with a lovers kiss. 'You're not going to be able to get rid of me Jen, not today not ever.' He whispers in her ear telling her exactly what he intends to do to her this afternoon and she responds by gently rubbing her hand up and down his back while resting her face against his chest.

He doesn't get in the shower immediately but walks down stairs to start coffee. As he sits down to his first cup of coffee of the day, Jen walks in and joins him.

'Remember my hairdresser is coming this morning'

'OK. When are you going to show me what these keys open', Jethro is fingering his wedding present.

'I'll show you this afternoon, what are you going to do now'

'I've got an hour to kill – I'll go for a run'

On Gibbs return from his run, he enters the house and notices the hairdresser is still there; he walks into the kitchen and gets himself a glass of water and settles himself down to read the paper.

After a while he hears voices and the front door closes. He goes upstairs so he can have a shower and get ready. In the bedroom Jen is sat at the dressing table doing her makeup. He looks at her reflection in the mirror and they smile at each other.

'The car will be here in half an hour Jethro'

'Don't worry I'll be ready'

Jethro showers and dresses quickly, Jen has chosen for him a charcoal grey suit, silver tie and white shirt. Jen is wearing a beautiful cream suit, as she walks to towards him he can't help but stare at her.

'God Jen, you look amazing …. Beautiful, you're beautiful'

'You don't look bad yourself'

Jethro goes to gather Jen in his arms but she keeps him at a distance not wanting her make up to get smudged.

'The car's here', she says as she hears a horn from outside.

They get in the car together, during the short drive Jethro holds Jenny's hand, he can tell she's nervous but he hopes that she is not having doubts. It's a big step for both of them but it feels right. They're at the registrar's office by 10.15am, Ducky and Jen's best friend Clare are waiting for them, and they will be acting as witnesses. After greeting each other and introducing Claire and Ducky to each other they all make their way into the building and wait to be called. The registrar is running a little late and it is about 11.00am by the time they leave.

While reciting their promises Jen and Jethro look into each other's eyes and any doubts about the step they are taking vanish in those few moments. They each know without doubt that they will be together forever, they know they'll argue but they also know that despite any disagreement they may have in the future their love and respect for each other will keep them together.

Clare and Ducky take photos and soon they are on the way to a hotel for a wedding brunch. Jenny can't stop looking at Jethro or her wedding ring, she's trying to work out if she feels different now she's married. She thinks she does, it would be a hard feeling to put in to words but she somehow feels complete as if being married she and Jethro can become more, more than just two people together.

Jethro also feels strange wearing a ring again, he knows he's very lucky to be given another chance of happiness there are not many women who would agree to be wife number five. He realises he'll have to work hard to keep this marriage together but he has a good feeling about this, he really loves the woman who is sitting next to him.

'You two should try and stop looking at each other for a little while, Ducky and I are beginning to feel like a pair of gooseberries', Clare says.

Jenny manages to take her eyes from Jethro's face, 'Sorry, what was it you were saying'

'Ducky and I are going to leave now, give me a call next week and we can arrange to meet up', Clare and Ducky move from the table.

Ducky leans over and kisses Jen as Clare kisses Gibbs.

Gibbs gets up and hugs Ducky 'Jethro, if you don't make this marriage work, I for one will not be very happy with you', Ducky tells Gibbs.

'Don't worry Duck I don't intend to have four divorces', Gibbs replies.

Jenny and Jethro leave the restaurant and get in their car to take them back home.

Jenny looks over to Jethro in the back of the car, she can tell he's uncomfortable sitting in the back seat not knowing who is driving the car. She leans over to take his face in her hands and gives him a slow soft kiss, he responds in kind and they are soon lost in their own world.

The driver looks nervously toward the back seat and decides to speed up before things get embarrassing, he's thinking people that age should really know better.

No words have passed between them since they got into the car and as they walk to their front door Jethro turns to his new wife and says, 'Jenny Gibbs, I love you more than you can possibly know.'

Jenny has been trying to get her feelings in order since the wedding, she can't believe she's married, she's finding it harder to believe she's a fifth wife and the hardest thing of all to believe is she's married to Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the man she's loved since she first met but thought she'd lost any chance of ever being with him again when she walked away from him in Paris. She turns towards Jethro still tongue tied and just kisses him, at last she manages to pull herself together and just says to him, 'I'm the luckiest woman alive to have you as my husband'.

As soon as they're indoors Jethro gathers Jen in his arms and carries her upstairs to the bedroom.

Needless to say during the next two hours Jethro realises that the wait was worth it Jenny lets him take the lead in their lovemaking and they are both left feeling fulfilled. Jethro knows he has the rest of the weekend to continue making love and he doesn't want to get out of bed any time soon, he starts running his hand over Jenny's body again first touching her face and moving slowly down to her breasts cupping them, letting his fingers linger over her raised nipples. Jenny sighs and leans over to kiss him before pulling back and stilling his roving hands with her own. 'Jethro, I want to show you what those keys open, but it means a car journey'

'Jen, can't you show me later I'd like to keep you here a bit longer' Jethro is now kissing Jenny's breasts his tongue teasing her nipples.

'Jethro, mmm that's ………… No, please stop I want to go now it's all organised, and I promise we can continue this as soon as we arrive at our destination.'

Jethro reluctantly lets Jen get up and get dressed. He gets up himself dressing quickly intending to keep Jenny to her promise that they can continue getting to know each other even better.

They get in his truck, after a brief fight as to who is driving.

'Jethro, you can't drive you don't know where you're going'

'Just tell me, it's my truck and anyway you hate driving it.'

'I don't know why you just can't let me drive'

'Jen…….please', Jethro lifts his hands to her cheeks and gently kisses her.

'OK, seeing how you've asked so nicely'

Jethro smirks Jenny notices and retorts, 'don't think you'll get your own way so easily all the time!'

Jen gives directions and a couple of hours later they are parked outside a small fishing cabin.

Jen looks at Jethro hoping he'll be pleased, 'She hands him the keys. It's yours, the present from the bride to the groom. We can stay here tonight and drive back tomorrow, we've got everything we need for the weekend'

'Jenny it's perfect, your perfect, God I love you, you make me feel…' Jethro turns towards Jen and kisses her passionately.

Jethro opens the front door but is not very interested in looking round, he wants the women beside him so much he doesn't want to wait another moment. As soon as the front door closes Jethro turns to Jen and presses his lips to hers, not giving her a chance to say anything. He lifts her up and carries her to the rug in front of the fireplace. The fire is already laid and he just needs to light it, which he does before starting to slowly undress his wife. They do not make it to the bed until the early hours of the morning and they stay there, doing those things all newly weds do, until it's time to drive home on the Sunday evening.
