Thanks for reading, this chapter picks up right where the last on left off.

"No…no…" Jen whispered, couldn't believe what she was doing. She hated him, she didn't love him, she couldn't love him, not after what he had done.

Gibbs didn't need to ask what she was talking about, he understood she didn't want to be in his arms, but he didn't want to let go, he had missed this, missed her. He tried to calm her down. He rubbed her back, and she didn't pull away, a good sign, he thought, but when he drew his hand through her hair she heard her whisper again. "Jethro, please don't"

"Jen… I…" he started, but immediately regretted his decision to speak. She had pushed herself away from his embrace, so now they were standing opposite to each other, the tears were running fast down her cheeks, and Gibbs didn't know what to do, or what he had said that had gotten her so upset.

"Don't…say…it!" she sobbed, she looked so fragile and helpless where she was standing, so he had to fight his hardest against his urge to take her back into his arms.

"Say what?" he asked, but those two words seemed to make her even more upset.

"Don't you understand?"

He shook his head, he really didn't understand.

"I loved you! That's why I told you about Amy, I loved you and I wanted us to be like a family, I wanted you to be her father. But when you left me at the hospital, I understood I don't mean anything to you anymore, so now you don't mean anything to me" her voice shook. Gibbs felt like if an ice-cold hand had just crushed his heart.

She immediately wanted to take back everything she had said, but she knew she couldn't do that, she couldn't just forgive him.

"Jen…" he said and took a step towards her. "I love you" he was trying his hardest to keep his voice steady. "And you have no idea how bad I'm feeling for abandoning you, I wish I could take it back, I really do. I came back to the hospital because I changed my mind. Please, please forgive me"

She was touched by his words, but…

"No, I can't forgive you, Jethro. Now leave me alone!" she said sternly, and overwhelmed with grief he walked towards the door, when he placed his hand on the doorknob, he turned to her.

"I really do love you, Jen" and with those words he left her office. When the door had closed behind him, she sank down into her chair. It was like she had feared. He had said those three words she was trying so hard to ignore. But how do you just ignore it when someone tells you he loves you? But how could you ever forgive a man who left you because he was afraid, afraid of the fact that he was the father of her child and that child was sick? Jen loved him, but she could never forgive him.

Gibbs had escaped into the elevator; he had nowhere else to go. He couldn't go down to the squad room; he couldn't stand to face the others, or their questions. He thought of what Jen had just said. She had said that she loved him, as far as he could tell, that meant past-time. Suddenly his cell-phone rang; he looked at the caller-id, DiNozzo. He disconnected the call, he didn't want to answer, didn't want to talk to anyone, except Jen. He found himself in a very odd situation, he thought when he sat down on the elevator floor. He had never before let his feelings go before his work. What if Tony had been calling about some important case? And he hadn't answered just because he was upset over Jen…'But this is different' he thought. Suddenly the elevator doors opened and he got surprised when he saw Abby, and she looked just as surprised to him sitting on the floor in the elevator.

"Gibbs! Tony has been looking all over for you, but…I guess he didn't care to look in the elevator" she said and walked in and sat down beside him.

"So, why are you hiding in here?" she asked. He didn't answer; he didn't even look at her.

"Ok then, who are you hiding from?" Abby tried, but Gibbs just shook his head. She stood up.

"Why won't you talk to me, Gibbs?" she asked, confused.

"I…I can't Abs. It's personal" he said, feeling very bad for not telling her, it was not that he didn't trust her, but this was that kind of thing you would want to keep to yourself, at least until you knew what was going to happen. Abby left and he sat there alone, for how long he didn't know. He sat there, saw some people come and go, he didn't care about them.

But then the doors opened, and when he didn't hear anyone walk into the elevator, he looked up, and there was Jen.

She looked down at him, and bit her lip, trying to decide weather she would go inside or not, when at last she took a step forward and the doors closed behind her.

To Gibbs' great surprise she sat down on the floor beside him, just where Abby had been sitting.

"Don't tell me you have been in here since you left my office" she said, sounding more sad than amused.

"I have" he said, speaking for the first time since Abby was there. "So how long have I been in here?"

"At least three hours" Jen answered.

"Well, I needed to think" he said, not looking at her, just staring at the opposite wall.

"You are not thinking about…" she started but she didn't have to finish her sentence, because he nodded.

"Yes. I'm in here because of you, Jen" he said, finally fixing his gaze upon her, he noticed her face was red from crying.

"So, you have been sitting in this crappy elevator for three hours because of me?" she said and he nodded again.

"Yes, Jenny. I want you to know I do care about you, I guess I just realized how much."

"Jethro, I love you, but…" she started, but stopped when he turned towards her, looked into her eyes, and then kissed her softly on the lips. She hesitated, but then she placed her hand on his chest and pushed him away. He looked at her with surprise and was slightly shocked. She didn't look at him, she felt bad for what she had done.

"But I can't forgive you" she said, her voice barely more than a whisper. Gibbs swallowed hard; he hadn't really realized just how badly he had hurt her, until now. He reached for her hand, took it in his, and she didn't pull away.

"Jen, I promise you, that if you give me a second chance, I will never ever hurt you again. You have my word on that" he said and she looked up at him. "Please" he added.

"I don't know. I can't forgive you just like that…I need time" she said, but she was touched by his words. He could be really sweet when he wanted to.

"I'm not asking for you forgiveness, I just want to be with you" Gibbs answered. Jen leaned against him and placed her head on his shoulder.

"Trust me; I want to be with you too. But I don't think I can until I forgive you" she signed.

Gibbs stoke her hand, "I'll do everything I can to make it up to you"

"Well, I have never doubted you before, Jethro" was her answer and she closed her eyes. She felt him switching position, so now he had his arm around her shoulders and she was leaning against him. Jen thought it felt good; his touch gave her some comfort. She knew it was wrong of her to think that way, now she would never be able to fight her feelings for him. She believed everything he said, that he would never hurt her again, and that he would try his hardest to make it up to her. She might just have to accept the fact that maybe they were meant to be together, no matter what.

After a few minutes Gibbs said, "Maybe we should get out of the elevator" and she nodded and stood up. She turned around and held out her hand to help him up. He took it and got to his feet, they stood close for a second, and he placed his hands on her hips, her hands were resting on his arms, they looked into each others eyes. The doors opened and they both looked up and saw Abby.

Abby stared at Gibbs and the Director for a moment, until they, a little awkwardly, stepped away from each other.

"Oh my god, is this what it looks like it is? Or have I just lost my mind?" she asked in shock.

"Director? What's wrong? It looks like you've been crying" Abby continued, noticing Jen's red face. Jen didn't know what to say, but fortunately Gibbs did.

Yes, she's a bit upset, and I was just trying to comfort her" he said and Jen played along and nodded.

"Okay, very well. Gibbs, Tony is still looking for you. He's wondering where the hell you are, and since the last time I saw you, you were in here, so I thought you would still be here so…" she rambled but Gibbs put up his hand to shut her up.

"I get it, Abs. Can you tell Tony I'll be with him in ten minutes, I'll just have to take the Director up to her office" he explained and Abby nodded and stepped out of the elevator.

When she was gone the doors closed and Gibbs pressed the button so they would go up. The elevator stopped and they stepped out, walked pass Cynthia and into her office, neither of them had spoken since Abby had left them.

"Jen" he said and she turned to look at him from where she was standing at the window.

"Yes?"

"I was just…No, forget it, it was nothing" he said, looking away from her. She frowned and started to walk towards him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and he looked up at her.

"Jen…" he said again, and she smiled slightly.

"Jethro, I've made my decision. I've decided I don't care about how much you hurt me at the hospital, I want to be with you, because I love you, and I believe you when you say you will never hurt me again" she said and smiled wider at the sight of his stunned expression.

"I love you too, Jen" he said and leaned in to kiss her. And she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

Then the phone rang…
