And two becomes three or is it four?

*NCIS*

Ziva took a deep breath glancing at Jade as she knocked on the Director's office door. "Wait for me here" she whispered before entering the office. Jade seated herself anxiously awaiting Ziva's return.

"Ziva, what can I do for you?" Jenny smiled

"I need a favor Jen" Ziva stated

Jenny's face fell "what kind of favor?" Jen asked cautiously

Ziva launched into her explanation of Jade's predicament, ending with' "I'm afraid to leave her home alone Jen, she isn't strong enough to be alone. I was hoping she could stay here with you while I'm working"

Jenny gaped. "What is she going to do while she's here Ziva? I can't entertain her. I don't have meetings but I do have a lot of paperwork to do."

"She is a copy editor, she has brought her work with her. I just want someone to be nearby and for her to be somewhere safe."

"OK" Jenny could see how protective Ziva was towards the girl. "Bring her in"

Ziva fetched Jade from the other room. "Jade this is my close friend Jenny; she will take care of you while I'm working" Jade nodded mutely. "Stay here until I come and get you ok?" Ziva lifted Jade's chin to make eye contact with her. Jade smiled. Ziva dropped a brief kiss on her lips then walked out to resume her job.

"Why don't we work at the table together?" Jenny offered kindly. Jade nodded. "Thank you" she said shyly. Jenny sat at the head of the table whilst Jade chose a seat with her back to the wall. Jenny noticed the defensive position but offered no comment. Slowly Jenny, Jade and Ziva slipped into this routine.

*6 Weeks later*

"Jenny?"

"Yes Jade" Jenny looked up from another security brief to survey her new friend. Jade bit her lip trying not to cry. "What is it?" Jenny was alarmed as she rose to comfort Jade.

"I need your help" Jade whispered

"I will do anything within my power Hun, you know that"

"I need…" Jade hiccupped. Jenny nodded encouragingly. "I need to get an abortion" she finally blurted out. Jenny looked surprised but held her tongue as Jade began to cry harder.

"I'll set you up an appointment with my Dr we'll go this afternoon. Do you want me to get Ziva?"

"No!" Jade exclaimed "I mean she's been so good to me, I can't let her see me like that. She can't know about it ok?"

"Sure" Jenny nodded "let me go make that phone call"

*A few weeks later*

Ziva hummed a Hebrew lullaby to herself as she swiftly walked up the stairs to the director's office. Her day had ended early, paperwork was complete and she was looking forward to collecting her girlfriend and heading home for a nice relaxing evening. Ziva knew that Jenny wasn't busy when Cynthia nodded her straight in, as she walked out the door, Ziva slowly inched the door open, hoping to catch the two occupants by surprise; what she saw caused her to raise her eyebrows instead.

Peeking through the door Ziva saw Jade, her girlfriend, being held in a tight embrace by Jenny. I t was obvious Jade had been crying and Jenny was comforting her. A series of emotions flashed through Ziva; worry for Jade, the urge to comfort her, jealousy of Jenny being there instead and surprisingly, arousal at seeing the two beautiful women hold each other close. The arousal won out, prompting Ziva to open the door fully and stride over to where the two were seated on the sofa.

Jade glanced up at Ziva as she drew to a stop above them, but made no attempt to relinquish Jenny. Meeting Ziva's eyes, Jade realized that she was incredibly aroused, Ziva's eyes seemed to beg for release. Jade reached for her and drew her down for an overwhelming kiss. Jenny was caught off-guard by this action, and tried to move away. Ziva stopped her with a fierce grip on her bicep.

"Stay" Ziva whispered hoarsely; even as Jade kissed her way down Ziva's throat. "I want you to join us" she added as she leant over to kiss Jenny. Jenny gasped and allowed herself to be pulled into the kiss. "What about Jade?" she murmured. Jade answered her question by shifting her attention to Jenny's throat. Ziva pulled back to watch the two women together, she lifted Jade and flipped her so she was straddled over Jenny's leg. This change in position tore gasps from the two women's throats which were quickly swallowed into a kiss.

Ziva slid in behind Jade, the three women used each other to disrobe. Jade removing Jenny's clothing, Jenny removing Ziva's and Ziva removing Jade's. Once Jenny's breasts were bared jade swooped in to play with the newly exposed flesh. Ziva who had been sucking and licking at Jade's neck, moved to kiss Jenny soundly even as she reached for and fondled Jade's breasts. After a few long minutes of making out and removing clothing Jade broke away; "I need you" she gasped. Ziva and Jenny exchanged glances. "both of you" Jade insisted. It was quickly decided some rearrangement was needed.

They ended up with Jade laid out along the sofa, Ziva was held above her in a 69 position. There had been some argument over where Jenny was to be placed but Jade had won, so her head was buried between Jenny's legs as she knelt above her. Ziva mirrored Jade's action on Jenny upon Jade herself and the circle of pleasure was completed by Jenny burying three of her fingers deep inside Ziva. The three women were so involved they failed to notice Ziva had left the door ajar. Jenny being the only one whose mouth was not occupied found herself becoming more and more vocal as her pleasure increased.

*Outside the director's office*

Gibbs knew that Ziva had gone to Jenny's office to collect her girlfriend. He hadn't seen them leave but maybe they had taken the stairs and he just hadn't seen them, so he decided to go and see if Jenny wanted to join him for dinner. As he reached the door to Jenny's office he noticed it was ajar and there were some strange noises issuing from it. As he reached the door he heard Jenny scream. Normally he would have flung aside the door and entered the room with his weapon drawn but he recognized that scream. That was the sound of Jenny climaxing. Choosing caution over his urges, Gibbs glanced through the door… just to make sure everything was ok. He was astounded to see his ex-lover, his team member and her lover engaged in a vicious sexual cycle. Deciding he didn't have a single clue as to how to deal with that situation and finding he had no desire to stop it Gibbs decided to leave. Maybe he would call one of his red-heads on the way home.

*Back inside the office*

Jade refused to release Jenny until she had made her scream at least three times. Ziva had become too sensitive to continue after her second orgasm, so she flipped around and straddle Jade's waist to allow her access to Jenny's breasts. When Jenny finally collapsed forwards in exhaustion Ziva caught her and lowered her down next to Jade. Ziva bestowed a gentle kiss on Jade's lips before sitting back to survey the two women below her. Jade always seemed to gain energy from sex, so she was the first to make a move towards clothing.

"I'm starving" Jade announced. Jenny and Ziva giggled weakly. "let's go eat so we can discuss this"

"What's to discuss?" Ziva asked as Jenny said "Discuss what?"

"Lets talk about it at dinner ok?" Jade forestalled all other questions by throwing clothing and weaponry at the other two women.

*At the restaurant*

After they had all received their drinks and ordered their food Ziva and Jenny both turned to Jade. "Discuss" Ziva reiterated. Reaching for their hands Jade prefaced the discussion with; "Please hear me out before you do or say anything ok?" Ziva and Jenny nodded, Taking a deep breath Jade began the speech she had been planning in the car on the way to the restaurant.

"I really enjoyed what happened in Jenny's office; I have feelings for both of you but I didn't want to cause conflict so I'm very glad that Ziva initiated that" Jade squeezed Ziva's hand "Have you two ever heard of Polyamory or poly relationships?" Jade paused as Ziva nodded yes and Jenny shook her head no. "Ziva why don't you tell us what you know" Jade allowed Ziva to fill Jenny in:

"I know that it means many loves, a poly relationship is similar to an open relationship, though there are often negotiated 'rules' within the relationship that are agreed upon y all the participants. There is no limit to the number of people within the relationship, though they are often all committed to one another. Often people have primary partners and secondary partners but occasionally a tribe or clan can be formed. Poly-relationships are always about honesty, never about cheating and always between consenting adults" Ziva ended almost as if she had been reciting by rote.

"Exactly" Jade exclaimed. "This is what I'm proposing. I'm suggesting we try a poly-relationship, just the three of us initially, but for it to work we have to discuss things openly and as a family. What do you think? Jade sat back to view her lover's faces.

"we would have to be discrete especially at work, and we would have to have a say in any other partners, but I think I would like to try this" Ziva admitted

"I'm terrible at relationships" Jenny warned "and we cannot do what we just did at work, again, but I have strong feelings for both of you so yes I would love to embark on this journey with both of you."

"yay" Jade squealed and clapped her hands "I know this will be hard but I think it will be totally worth it" Jade bestowed both women with a gentle kiss, as she leaned back she noticed their food arriving.

"oh goody, food's here, I'm starving" she exclaimed

Jade and Jenny just laughed
