-This chapter don't be as long as my last chapter. I think. Well, hope you enjoy it.-

Gibbs runs in to the Hospital. He is worried about Jen the love of his life. He heard it was her that got shot. His heart had raced when he heard the news. He is scared he might not be able to tell her his true feeling for her. How he still loves her greatly. She is his new Shannon. He finally got to Heathers room and ran to her bed side and took her hand.

"Jen, I love you." He confessed. "I always and I always wi-" Gibbs stopped short noticing the long hair. 'Jen, doesn't have long hair. She just got it cut.' He thought to himself. He went out to the nurses' station.

"Excuse me, who is the patient in room 345?" Gibbs asked.

"Just a moment." The nurse started to type into the computer. "Heather Shepard."

Gibbs was shocked. That almost never happened. 'Heather Shepard? Who the heck is that?' Gibbs thought.
"I heard Jennifer Shepard was the one admitted into the hospital. "

"Miss. Shepard is in the Pediatrics Ward with Amanda Shepard on the west wing."

"What room is that?"

The nurse looked it up. "Room 495."

Gibb walk to the elevator. Taking it to the fourth floor. He walked until he found the room.

All he could think about is how happy he is that Jen is okay, how she must have felt after that bomb blast that put him in the hospital 2 years ago, how she was a twin sister and she never told him.

'Why didn't she tell me?' He wondered.

He decided it wasn't important right now. All that was important that Jen was okay and he had to find out who did this. He now knew he had to tell Jenny how he really felt. He realized he was taking her for grant and that meant he was breaking rule #8. Never take anything for grant. He knew he had to tell her how he really felt. Before it was too late. Maybe, just maybe they can still be together.

Gibbs blame himself for them not being together. He was still a bit mad at her for leaving him all those years ago. He didn't understand why Jenny broke it off with him a month ago before things even got started. 'I thought she still loved me.' He thought.

Gibbs walked up to the doorway. He saw Jen with Amanda on her lap. They were talking about the case on her arm.

"My arm itches and hurts." Amanda stated picking at the case on her right arm.

Gibbs assumed Amanda was Heather's daughter considering he didn't know about Amanda. He still stood at the doorway and when Jen saw him he nodded to the hallway Gibbs walking out from the doorway and into the hallway.

"I'll be right back, Sweetie Pie. Don't pick at it. If you pick at it the doctor will have to take it off and put a whole new one on your arm that will be on longer." Jenny warned as she stood up and walked over to the door, "You stay in this room. Don't leave. I'll be just down the hall for a minute." Jenny left and went to Gibbs.

"Before you ask, Jethro. I'm fine." Jen said reading his mind.

"How bad was your sister's kid hurt?" Gibbs asked.

"She only has a broken arm from the bullet. She must have unknowingly got in the way of the shot of the bullet or she was in the way and the killer didn't care if she got hurt." Jenny got a look in her eye.' Why would someone hurt a child like this?' She thought. "The only thing she is worried about is how the case will look with her clothes and how her friend won't be able to sleep over. She's such a strong girl. Sadly to say she'll probably remember this as the worse birthday ever." Jenny couldn't help but to smile because of what her daughter was worried about. Jenny made sure not to correct him on whose kid Amanda was.

"Jen, don't worry. The team and I will get who did this. My concern is were they after her? Or you? If they are after you we need to get you back at ncis. Just in case they are after your sister I'll have some guards posted outside her room."

"Me? True I've pissed a lot of people off in my life but not enough for them to want me dead."

"Either way, you're going to ncis for your safety. Just in case. There is nothing you can do for Heather here. It is my job to protect you, Director."

"Is that the only reason Jethro?"

"Yes."

"Jethro, I can take care of myself." She reminded him.

"Right now you are in charge of protecting two people. Not just yourself. Amanda too. I'm going to call in some guards for your sister. You go get Amanda ready to leave." Gibbs ordered her and left.

"I'm your boss, Agent Gibbs. Not the other way around. I order you around." Jenny smiled. She went back to Amanda. "You know how you have been wanting to see my work?" Jenny asked gathering up what couple things she had.

"Yes! You make it sound so cool!" Exclaimed Amanda.

"Well, I am going to take you there okay?"

"Really!?" Amanda got excited.

Jenny smiled. "Yes, really. You can't call me mommy while we are there though. Because it's work and I really shouldn't be bring you there." Jenny's right eye twitched meaning she was lying." One of my best agents thinks its best though because of what happened to Aunt Heather."

"Okay, mommy."

"I may have to leave you for a little bit now and again so, I can do my director stuff. Just know that I love you and that I will always come back for you." Jenny ended smiling.

Gibbs walked in as Jenny finished the sentence.

"You guys ready, Jen?" Asked Gibbs.

"Yes, Jethro." Jenny helped Amanda off the bed. "Amanda, this is one of my best agents. Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs."

"Hey, kiddo." Gibbs put his hand on her head and messed up her hair a little bit.

Amanda smiled a bit. She liked Gibbs already. She saw the way her mommy looked at him and the way he looked at her. 'Mommy likes Special Agent Gibbs and Special Agent Gibbs likes mommy.' She thought.

"Are you going to project us?" Asked Amanda looking up at him.

"Yes I will. I promise." He answered smiling.

Amanda looked up at Jenny. "Can we keep him? Please!"

Gibbs chucked smirking at Jenny.

"He's not mine to give and if he was, I'm afraid, he's too old for you. Not to mention Heather won't prove of it."

"Not for me. For you." Amanda said with a tone that read 'you should have known that'.

Jenny was shocked. Her daughter has never done this before. Jenny and Gibbs couldn't help but to think back to when they had a relationship like that. Jenny also thought of what it would be have been like if she would have told Gibbs about Amanda. Gibbs also thought about the life they could have had if he would have chased after Jenny like he wanted to. If they would have had at least one kid. He imagined he or she would look a lot like Jenny. Like Amanda did.

Gibbs' mind didn't click that Amanda was his. After all Heather looked just like Jenny. If Heather had a kid Jenny could pass as her mother, biologically looking that is.

Jenny swallowed. "That is out of the question. I'm is boss. It wouldn't be right. He's too old for me anyway. I don't think about him like that anyway. Never have and never will."

Gibbs watched Jenny's right eye twitch during those last couple sentences. Which meant she was lying through her teeth.

"Let's get you girls to ncis." Gibbs changed the subject.

"Wait! Where's Toothless?!" Amanda exclaimed.

"Toothless?" Gibbs asked confused.

"I think he got left at the parade, Sweetheart. I'll have one of Agent Gibbs' agents get it, okay?" Jenny looked a Gibbs." Don't hurt your brain over it. It's a plush toy of a dragon from the animated movie called How To Train Your Dragon. She loves the movie."

"Oh, okay. Yeah, Amanda. I'll have Special Agent Tony DiNozzo get it."

"Thank you! Thank you! Agent Gibbs!" Amanda exclaimed hugging Gibbs.

Jenny and Gibbs smiled at Amanda.

Gibbs knew Jenny was keeping something or something's from him. He didn't know what it was. Gibbs also knew Jenny kept things from him before but this felt different. More important.

-How do you guys like it? Good? or Bad? Let me know in feedback. Now, I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up. I have a big State Project coming in a couple days and it requires lots of research and writing. I hope I get that done ASAP. I'll do my best to get the next chapter up as soon as I can. :)-
