Chapter Two.

Eventually the normally strong woman known as Jenny Shepherd had no more tears left to shed as she took her head off Gibbs shoulder.

"I'm sorry, so so so sorry for leaving you on that god damn forsaken plane, I know you say that apologising is a sign of weakness. But this isn't Jenny the Agent or Jenny the Director apologising. This is Jen, your wife apologising and by the way I didn't mean to get your suit jacket wet." She whispered to him.

"You have no need to apologise to me, Jen. If anyone should be apologising it should be me." Gibbs told her.

At this Jenny's eyes went wide with shock, was she really hearing right or did she need to go and get her hearing tested?

Gibbs, the oh lord all mighty Leroy Jethro Gibbs was sitting here beside her APOLOGIZING to her, if the situation wasn't so serious Jenny would have laughed or at least she would have secretly tapped it.

Once she was over the internal shock, Jenny had to asked him, if not to satisfy her own curiosity.

"What are you apologising for?" She asked, turning her body to face him.

"I let you down, when I swore to myself that I never would, after Shannon and Kelly. I thought I would never love again. Until I met you, Jen. I should have ran after you and stopped you from getting on that damn plane." Gibbs explained to her.

"What kind of wife, was/am I? One that leaves her husband on a plane with nothing more then a bloody Dear John letter and coat, you tell me that?" Jenny asked him, asd he continued to hold her.

"Jen, look at me." Gibbs softly demanded of her, to which she complied with.

"You made a mistake, hell I've made enough for the both of us, but I've forgiven you. I did a long time ago, so you have nothing to be sorry for." Gibbs told her.

"You've forgiven me?" Jenny asked her husband in shock.

"Yip." Gibbs replied, with his usual Gibbs trade mark smirk.

Jenny reluctantly pulled away from her husbands warm, comforting embrace when the phone on her desk sprang to life with groan Jenny answered it.

"Director Shepherd." She answers with the utmost professionalism to person on the other end.

"Ah Director, I want a video conference in MTAC immediately!" The Sec-Nav bellows down the line, almost deafening Jenny in the process at the sheer volume he used.

"The Sec-Nav?" Gibbs asked as Jenny put down the phone then rubbing her ear to try and get the ringing sensation to ease up at bit.

"Yeah, he wants to meet in MTAC and by the sounds of him, he was not one happy man." Jenny replied.

"I know I heard." Gibbs smirked.

"I have to go, you'll wait for me?" She asked, as the couple left the office and made their way into MTAC.

"Yeah, I'll just wait here for you." Gibbs replied, as he took a seat at the top of MTAC where he couldn't be seen in the dark, with his ever faithful cup of coffee in hand.

Jenny stepped in front of the MTAC cinema screen and adjusted her headset waiting for her conference with the Secretary Of The Navy to begin.

"Madam Director, the Sec-Nav will on in less then a minute." One of the technician informed her, to which Jenny smiled and gave her thanks.

Less then 30 seconds later the Sec-Nav appeared on the screen in front of were Jenny stood.

"Jennifer." He greeted her coldly, a stern look on his face.

"Mr Sec-Nav." Jenny returned the greeting, nervously.

"Jennifer, I am going to ask you some questions and if I find out or feel that your lying to me I will sack you on that very spot were you are currently stood, do I make myself clear?" Sec- Nav informed her.

"Yes Sir, crystal clear." Jenny replied with caution, swallowing a lump that had formed in her throat.

"Do you or did you have any romanticism feeling for your subordinate special agent Jethro Gibbs?" He began,

"Yes Sir." Jenny simply replied.

"Are you or were you in a sexual relationship with the person that has been mentioned above?" He then asked her.

"Yes Sir." She replied again.

"Is there a marriage involved? Or a relationship of any kind at present?" He continue with his questions.

"Yes Sir" Came her response.

"How long?" He asked her.

"6 years sir." She replied.

"Children?" He asked.

"No." She answered him.

The Sec-Nav considered her answers that she provided him with and to say that he wasn't happy was the understatement of the century and then out of the blue he erupted like a volcano.

"Do you have any idea what a compromising position you've put me, Jennifer? A very difficult one that's what. You had better pray that me and my team can do damage control or else you will find yourself out of the job. I am so disappointed in you Jennifer I sure as hell expected better of you, especially you. We will speak at later date!" He yelled, and then signalled for the feed to be terminated.

Jenny released a breathe she didn't realize she was holding in, how could she think that he wouldn't check of course he would have.

"Nice one, Shepherd." She thought to herself.

Jenny power walked it back to her office knowing Gibbs wasn't far behind her. Jenny walked in, slamming the door behind so hard the walls shook from the radiations of the impact the door as it hit the frame and of course nearly hitting Gibbs up the face with it.

"What will happen noe ?" Gibbs asked her, as soon as they were inside her office.

"Well hee knows, so god knows what will happen next." Jenny told him.

"I didn't think he'd actually check." Gibbs replied.

"I don't know, but he was really pissed I mean he even threatened me with my job if he can't do damage control." Jenny explained to him.

"I know, what I want to know is just who to hell does he think he is!" Gibbs yelled the rhetorical question. but Jenny answered it anyway.

"He's the Secretary Of The Navy, that's who he is and if he sees fit to fire me then he can, no questions asked. Wait you were there?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah I was. Well if he fires you, I'll walk and I can guarantee you half of this agency will walk out along with me too, see what he does then." Gibbs informed her, with his ever present smirk.

Jenny smiled at him then pulled her husband into a bone crushing hug that would rival one of Abby's.

"Thank you." She whispered in his ear

"No problem, Jen. Lets go ho..I mean to your house." Gibbs quickly corrected himself.

"Jet, it's your home too." Jenny told him, as she took his hand and lead them to the Linkin town car that was waiting to take them to their Georgetown home.

They knew that they had alot to work through and they also didn't know what the outcome would be from Sec-Nav but they knew that as long as they had each other, they could over come anything
