It was hours later when Jenny was rolled out of surgery and back into her room. Dr. Matthews came out to speak to Gibbs. He noticed the others standing there.
"Do you want to go someplace private?" he asked. Gibbs looked at the team who stood together behind him.
"No, they're family. They need to know," Gibbs said. He turned back to the doctor who had a confused look on his face. Gibbs smirked and said, "They're my kids and that's their mother." He heard Abby chuckled behind him and knew that Tony would say something later about that. The doctor nodded.
"Uh-huh, well, we got what we could find out, but there may be more there. We need to keep a close eye on her and make sure that we got everything," said Dr. Matthews, "When she wakes up, she may have some memory loss, but we won't know how much until she is awake. That is just temporary and should go away in a few days. If you guys need anything let me or one of the nurses know and we will try to accommodate you as best we can." Gibbs shook the doctor's hand.
"Thank you, Dr. Matthews," Gibbs said. He turned to his team and indicated they could follow him into the room to see Jenny. They all followed him in and he sat in his chair next to Jenny. Abby went to the other side and grasp Jenny's hand.
Jenny lay there with a bandage on her head. She didn't look herself. They had to cut her hair to operate and now she didn't look like the woman they came to know and love. Gibbs hated that they did that, but he didn't care as long as it meant she would be healthy again. He settled in the chair.
"Guys, you go get some rest. I'll stay with her. I'll call if she wakes up," Gibbs said after a few minutes. They had all had a busy day and the team showed it, but Gibbs showed it more. Abby was the one who was brave enough to speak.
"Gibbs, you haven't had a decent night's sleep since you got here. You need some rest too, and sleeping in that hospital chair isn't enough. I'm sure you're sore. Go with them and I'll stay," she said. Gibbs smirked at the Goth's boldness. None of the others would've thought to suggest that. She gave him one of the looks she gives when she thinks she's won and he knew that she would stand her ground about him taking care of himself. He shook his head. She gave him one of her glares.
"Gibbs, you're no good to Jenny if you have a bad back from sleeping in that chair! Go with the others and I will call as soon as there is any change," Abby said firmly. He had to admire her tenacity. She would stick to her guns until he caved and he knew that.
The others just stood back and watched the exchange between their boss and their beloved coworker, wondering who would be the first to cave. When Gibbs went to shake his head again, he was stopped by a groan that sounded from the bed. Jenny was stirring and starting to wake up.
She blinked her eyes to clear her vision and was met with the sight of Abby in her face. She felt confused as to the situation that was going on around her. She looked and saw that not only was Abby there, but three others, Ducky, and Gibbs. She recognized only two out of the six people in the room.
"What's going on? Where am I?" she asked. Abby ran her thumb over Jenny's hand and smiled at her.
"You're in the hospital. I was trying to get Gibbs to go home so that he can get some actual rest," Abby replied as her eyes flickered to him. He gave her a look and she looked back to Jenny.
"Okay, but…um…who are you?" she asked and looked at the others, "Who are they?" The team and Abby had a puzzled look on her face and then remembered that the doctor said she would have some temporary memory loss.
"I'm Abby, that's Tony, McGee, and Ziva. We're Gibbs' team," Abby replied softly. Jenny still looked confused as she looked around at them and then settled her gaze on Gibbs.
"Jen, you okay?" Gibbs asked. She looked at him. She noticed that he had aged, that he wasn't as young as he was.
"What year is it, Jennifer? Do you know?" Ducky asked. He knew about the memory loss, but he wanted to be sure how far back it was and hopefully it would dissipate as time went on. She looked at everyone again and then back to Ducky.
"1998," she replied, "Gibbs and I were in a training session and I blacked out then I woke up here," she replied, "I was fixing to tell him about the…the…the…" She trailed off and gazed down at her body when shock and realization hit her. The child she was fixing to tell Gibbs about was gone and that was why she was in the hospital. Tears fell down her cheeks as she looked at Gibbs and to the others and back to Gibbs.
"About what, Jen?" he asked. He looked at her and knew what was wrong. The realization hit him when she had spoken of the training session. It was nine years ago and the pain would be just as bad today as it had been back then. He wondered if she would relive it as bad as she had then.
She looked at Gibbs, studying his face again, trying to read his expression. She looked down towards her stomach and then closed her eyes. The pain she was feeling was unbearable and she began to sob.
Abby wrapped her arms around Jenny and held her. Jenny stiffened a bit at the sudden warmth that was wrapping around her and then she softened and wrapped her arms around the younger woman.
"Jenny, what is it?" Abby asked softly. Jenny sobbed again.
"It's gone," she said, "Our baby is…is…gone." She began sobbing again. Abby's eyes went wide for a moment. Gibbs and Jenny would've had a child. 'She thinks she's miscarried,' Abby thought. Abby just held Jenny. She knew that the pain the woman must be feeling would be so strong.
The team was confused and in a state of shock. They all knew that their bosses had a past, but they never expected what the woman laying there just said.
Ziva looked to Gibbs as he looked at her as if asking if it were true. He nodded and her gaze softened as she looked to the woman she thought of as a mother.
Tony stood still after he heard what she said. He couldn't believe his ears.
McGee just looked as if he was three cans short of a six-pack. He didn't know what to think.
Ducky knew about the lost child and he knew that the pain was going to be worse the second time around. He looked to his colleague and indicated the hallway. Gibbs got up and followed the older man out. He hoped that she would remember soon because he didn't want her to leave again like she did a year after she told him. He hoped and prayed that things would go back to normal again.
