A/N: So why were they smiling? Well, your about to find out! Here it is, the last chapter in "City of Love"!
The elevator ride up was silent. Both of them looked straight ahead as the elevator brought them up to the second floor of the hotel. By the time the elevator dinged, signaling their floor, they were both anticipating the time when they were allowed out of the space. They both jumped off the elevator and headed to Room 202.
When Gibbs reached the door, he turned and signaled for Jenny to wait while he checked the room. He slid in the key and opened the door. After he was satisfied there were no bugs or cameras, he waved her in. They then both took a moment to appreciate their room.
She came into the room and her jaw dropped. The lobby was misleading. There was a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom off to the left and a nice, soft king size bed off to right in the bedroom. Their plans had almost been ruined, but with practiced ease they pulled it off, she thought as she flashed back to two weeks ago in her office.
She looked at her planner and sighed. She didn't have anytime off for the next month due to conferences. She flipped back through the planner and found one day that would be open…too bad it was right in the middle of a conference. There was no way she could spend anytime with him unless…..
She pressed the button on the intercom, "Cynthia?"
"Yes, Director?" she replied.
"Will you please send Agent Gibbs up to my office, please?"
"Of course, ma'am," Cynthia confirmed.
"Thank you Cynthia, I don't know what I'd do without you!" Jenny said jokingly.
She waited patiently for Gibbs to come up to her office. After a few minutes, she began to wonder what was taking so long. Right as she was about to get Cynthia again, none other than one Leroy Jethro Gibbs came bursting through the door. With a smirk on his face he turned to her.
"Shut the door, please, Jethro," she said.
He turned reluctantly to shut the door, then returned to her desk.
"You called for me, Jen?" he offered with a grin.
"Well, Jethro, I've been trying to find a day where we can spend it together, you and me. The only day I've found, however, is right in the middle of one of my conferences. So I was thinking that maybe I should assign you as my protection detail for that particular conference…" she said mischievously.
"Well, I can't exactly say no to an order, now can I?" he replied just as mischievously. He walked around the desk, leaned down, and gave her a soft, passionate kiss.
As they broke off Jenny included, "but we'll have to be careful. I'll have Cynthia book two rooms. We'll also have to act like we can't stand each other…"
"That should be easy. After all, we've had tons of practice, Jen," he said.
"Haha, so funny Jethro. I'll see you at home later."
With one last kiss he flew back out the door.
"Cynthia?"
"Yes, ma'am?"
"Agent Gibbs will be escorting me to the conference as my protection detail. We will need two first class tickets and two hotel rooms, please."
"Of course, director. They will be ready when you leave."
"Thank you, Cynthia."
As she finished talking with Cynthia, her phone rang. The caller ID showed Gibbs' number.
"Yes, Jethro?"
"Just where is this conference going to be held, Director?" he inquired.
"Paris, Jethro, Paris…"
She looked at Jethro and proposed that they wander the streets of Paris for a while. As they walked along, a street photographer asked if they would like a picture of the two of them. With a subtle look at one another they said yes. Just as the picture was going to be taken, Jethro knelt down facing Jenny.
With the lights of Paris reflecting in his eyes he proposed. "Jenny, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know we've had a few bumps along the way, some fights, and I know there will be more, but all those things just make me fall in love with you all over again. Jen, will you be my wife?"
Jenny, with tear filled eyes, looked straight into Jethro's. She knew, at that moment, that she never wanted to be apart from him and wanted to spend the rest of her life in his arms.
With an emotion filled voice she finally replied "yes."
"I love you, Jen," he told her with sincerity.
"I love you too, Jethro."
As they kissed, a quick flash filled the air as a picture was taken. As they looked at the picture, all they could do was smile. The picture showed a couple, deeply in love and happy, with a majestically lighted Eiffel Tower standing in the background. The City of Love proven true once more.
