***JIBBS***JIBBS***

After a day of writing down reports and checking on cold cases, Gibbs was finally home and free to think about whatever he wanted without worrying that someone, Tony, will try to figure out his thoughts and attempt to fix it.

When he arrived at his house, he got some bourbon to drink and then he headed to his living room and he sat down on his couch. Then he took out the photo that had been bothering him all day, from its hiding place, he then poured some bourbon in a jar then took the photo in his free hand and leaned on his couch and examined the photo carefully.

Something was wrong, Gibbs could feel it. He couldn't figure out what exactly, but he could tell in his gut that there was something more to this than it seemed, but, maybe, it was just Gibbs wanting it to be something more, something that might lead to answers and hopefully closure. Gibbs took a drink of his bourbon to drown out his thoughts and then he thought back to earlier today, when he spoke to Ducky. It was odd because it seemed like Ducky was hiding something. Or maybe it's was just because Gibbs doesn't speak about Jenny often and when he does, trouble usually follows. Maybe that was it.

Gibbs was sure about most things and when his gut was telling him something, he usually trusts it, but, then problem was that when it came to Jenny, Gibbs didn't trust his gut at all, or anything for that matter because the last time he did, it only ended in his heart being broken badly.

Flashback

It was just a few months before Jenny left Gibbs and it was a beautiful time in Europe, Paris especially. The snow covered the city just right and everything was so romantic. Gibbs and Jenny were going out and both of them were extremely happy. However, there was something going to happen that might make them even more happy.

It was nighttime and the moon was shining beautifully in the sky and was illumining the Parisian skyline perfectly, they were just going to a coffeehouse in front of the Eiffel Tower and Jenny was laughing and everything was so perfect, then "Here, There and Everywhere" by the Beatles started playing on the radio in the coffeehouse. Gibbs walked in front of Jenny who was still smiling and Gibbs stopped in his tracks before going down on one knee.

Jenny gasped, speechless, not believing what was happening, but managed to ask Gibbs what he was doing. Then the entire coffeehouse started looking at them. Gibbs started held her hands as he started to propose.

"Jenny, I know this probably wasn't what you were expecting tonight, but I just wanted to do this because I want to and I need to, I'll understand if you say no, but I just wanted to check."Gibbs said, while looking into Jenny's shocked eyes

Gibbs smiled, he was getting the reaction he was hoping for but not yet the answer he was hoping for. He couldn't believe he was doing this again but he could feel inside of him that this time was different, because this was someone he loved.

Jenny looked at him at utter disbelief, she definitely did not see this coming. She couldn't believe that he was proposing to her, and she thought back to the past couple of days when he was probably planning this and she felt stupid that she never saw it coming. Jenny looked into his eyes and she could see that he had been waiting for her reaction and couldn't help to give a small laugh. He hadn't even asked the question yet but everything in her felt like he already had and she didn't know what to do.

Gibbs let go of her hands and reached into his pocket and took out a small black box. He looked into her eyes more intently as she was looked at the box, he opened it and it revealed a ring with a black and silver band and a diamond. Jenny gasped, and hugged herself before covering her mouth.

"Jennifer Shepard, will you marry me?" Gibbs asked looking into her eyes

End flashback

Gibbs scrubbed his hand down to his face and took another drink of his bourbon. He hated this, the memories were flooding him more than he could handle. He wanted this to stop or maybe for time to undo itself so that he would never discover the picture and put everything back to where it was. He looked at the picture again, this time looking only at Jenny's face, he traced it and started asking himself where things went wrong between them. Gibbs needed the answers because he and everyone else knew that he would just go crazy without them and that he wasn't going to stop until he found them. He knew this was probably going to take a long time to get all the answers he needed.
