A/N: I just wanted to thank everyone who reviewed and/or favorite my story! When I published this I wasn't expecting anyone to like it and was shocked by the response I got.

Meanwhile in the bullpen…

It was just a typical Friday afternoon and the MCRT team was sitting in the bullpen finishing up their paperwork. Although it was a gloomy, stormy day all the agents were looking forward to the weekend.

Gibbs stood up and looked around, "I'm going for coffee," he announced, "and DiNozzo if those reports aren't done by the time I get back you'll be head-slapped into next week." And with that he strode off to the elevator. It wasn't very long before a large strike of lightning struck and thunder boomed. The lights flickered on and off before finally shutting off.

"Well I guess those reports will have to wait for Monday," Tony said with a smile as he stood up and gathered his stuff.

"Not so fast Tony," Ziva said, "we have to wait for Gibbs to come back or else none of us will have jobs.

"I'm with Ziva on this one," McGee said.

"Oh come on Ziva and McScaredycat," Tony said egging them on, "it's the weekend, the power's out and Gibbs is probably stuck in the elevator."

'"I never even thought of that," McGee said pulling out his phone, "we should make sure he's okay." He dialed Gibbs's number and listened to it ring a few times before voicemail came on.

"Boss isn't answering his phone," McGee said in a worried tone, "I sure hope he's okay.

"Stop worrying McWorrywart," Tony said with a smirk. McGee was giving him his best Gibbs stare when Abby came running through the bullpen followed by Jimmy and Ducky.

"Is everyone okay?" she squealed, looking around.

"Yes Abs, we're fine," the team replied in unison. Abby looked around and smiled for a moment before a frown appeared on her face.

"Where's Gibbs and the director?" she asked looking rather nervous.

"Well Gibbs left for a coffee break right before the power went out and we think he is stuck in the elevator but he is not answering his cell phone," Ziva answered.

"And we haven't seen the director in a while," Tony added, "but she seemed like she was in a bad mood earlier so maybe Gibbs pissed her off."

"Guys !" Abby yelled frantically, "we can't not know if they're okay! We have to make sure!"

"Abs I know you want to make sure they're okay, but-" Tim started.

"No, Tim we will find out. Did you try calling the director's cell phone?"

"Well…no, but I will right now," Tim said after receiving a death glare from Abby.

"I'm going upstairs to see if the director is there or if Cynthia knows where she is. Ziva and Tony go to the elevator and see if you hear anything."

"But Abby the door is metal," Ziva said, "how will we hear through it?" But the words fell on death ears as Abby ran up the stairs towards the director's office. Tony and Ziva headed towards the elevator sighing loudly.

"The director didn't answer her cell phone either," Tim said shaking his head.

"We can't hear anything and I don't know why we're wasting our time when we could be celebrating the weekend," Tony complained.

"Tony, what are you going to do when there appears to be no power anywhere in the city?" grunted Ziva.

"I can still watch movies on my laptops Zee-vah," Tony replied. Ziva rolled her eyes at him before turning around to see Abby coming down the stairs, a concerned look on her face.

"Cynthia said the director stormed out into the elevator right before the power went out," Abby said as she reached the others. She snapped into hyper mode and began talking a mile a minute her worries pouring out.

"Abigail, dear please take a breath and try to relax," Ducky said placing a hand on the young goth's shoulder.

"But Ducky how can I calm down when I don't know where mommy and daddy are?" Abby exclaimed. She looked down at the floor before looking back up at the others with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Uh-oh," Tim muttered under his breath, before asking the question he wasn't sure he wanted an answer to, "what are you thinking Abs?"

"Maybe mommy and daddy will realize that they love each other if they're trapped in a small space for as long as they had been!" Abby squealed once again talking at a mile per minute. The others shook their heads.

"Abby the director seemed rather mad earlier today, we think Gibbs pissed her off," McGee said.

"Well being angry at each other could lead towards make-up sex," Tony joked before receiving a very hard head slap to the back of his head from Ziva.

"Ow what was that for?" Tony asked rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head. But the glare on Ziva's face made him not want to ask. Suddenly the lights flickered on and the elevator door to reveal Jenny and Gibbs sitting next to each other kissing quite passionately. They were oblivious to the fact that the power went back on until Abby let out a ear shattering shriek.

"MOMMY AND DADDY ARE BACK TOGETHER!" she yelled loud enough for the whole building to hear. Startled Jenny and Gibbs looked up at the rest of the team whose jaws had dropped at the sight. Jimmy ran back down to autopsy the minute Gibbs looked up for fear of what could happen, Abby had a giant grin on her face, and the others just looked shocked.

Finally Tony broke the silence, "way to go boss man!" Gibbs stood up and gave him a swift head slap before barking at the team to finish their paperwork. Jenny switched back into director mood and walked back upstairs to her office. The team quickly scrambled back to their desks shocked at what they had just seen.

"Once your reports are on my desk, you may leave for the nights," Gibbs added as he walked upstairs towards Jenny's office. Ignoring Cynthia per usual he barged in to her office to see a grinning Jenny sitting at her desk.

"Yes Jethro?" she asked with a grin.

"What do you plan on telling the children?" he responded with a slight smirk on his face.

"Do we have to tell them anything?"

"Unless you want them to bug the crap out of us, then yes we do."

Jenny sighed and thought for a moment, "why don't we tell them that we're trying to work it out," she suggested.

"That makes it sound like we're divorced or something," Gibbs replied.

"Well in a way we are. We both clearly loved each other in Paris and we were acting as a married couple but then I had to make a choice that separated us like a divorce would."

Gibbs thought this through for a moment before agreeing with what she said. "Hey Jen."

"Yes Jethro?"
"How much do you wanna bet they're listening outside the door?"

"I wouldn't be surprised," she responded laughing at the team's childish antics. Gibbs walked over to the door and opened it, not the least bit surprised when Tony, Tim, Ziva, and Abby went toppling to the ground. Jenny and Gibbs stood over them glaring on the outside, but chuckling on the inside at the nervous looks on their faces.

"Uh hey Boss just wanted to hand in our reports-" Tony started until he was cut off by Gibbs.

"We're screwed," added Tim.

"I told you this was a bad idea, no?" Tiva said with a smirk.

"Does this mean mommy and daddy are back together?" Abby asked excitedly. Gibbs and Jenny looked at each other and smiled.

"We're working it out Abs," Gibbs said and with that the goth wrapped him in a bone crushing hug before doing the same to Jenny.

"Now all of you go home," Gibbs barked and with that the agents ran out. Jenny walked over and locked the door before pulling Gibbs into a hug. As he hugged her back he couldn't help but feel grateful for the storm that knocked the power out. Even though he had originally cursed the storm it had brought him and Jenny closer together, something he had hoped for, for a very long time.
