My biography chapter 9
A/N so I tried to break this up more for the guest reviewer said it was hard to read and special agent Lorin in this is Abby Borin from CGIS. And if ya'll don't remember Gabbi Pina is Kensi from NCIS:LA.
It started when I got my official NCIS creds. Gibbs came in and handed them to me and I almost cried. It was the 3rd most happy day of my life. My second being when I became an American citizen. My first being revealed later. JP was not there for any of them. Today I regret this. I know that him being there would make it 10 times better. JP didn't even want to go out to celebrate. I soon figured out he was undercover. He was working with EJ. Cade had got wrapped in. They all met in an alley one night and that's when all 3 got shot. JP was taken to a hospital.
We were working a case, and I was on protection detail. The man I was protecting was the "bad guy". JP called me to inform me of this. When he did I called him sweetheart. I smiled just saying it. It felt good. In this same time frame Amy found out she was adopted. She took it hard, but we were all there for her. I asked her what made a family. I asked if NCIS wasn't really my home and this really wasn't my family and the only family I had left was my father. She admitted that they were my family, and that a family was based off of love not DNA. When I got that settled I left for the day and JP got on the elevator with me. I was pressing the first floor when strong arms wrapped around me. I knew they were Jean-Paul's and leaned back into them. I looked up at his face and said "What do you want Jean-Paul." Using his full name.
He replied with "I noticed you called me sweetheart earlier, sweetcheeks."
"Your point being?" I questioned.
"Why don't you come home with me." He says going off topic.
"Are you asking me to have sex with you JP?"
"No, just come over we'll cook dinner and have a movie."
"You sure that's all you want?" I ask
"Positive." He says with confidence.
"Well that's a shame." I reply making my Israeli accent very thick and my voice very smooth. Following that with "Your knee seemed to enjoy that."
We got into JP's car and drove to his house. I scraped together chicken pasta from what he had at his house, and he had wine. It was very good. We watched When Harry Met Sally, Titanic, and The Notebook. He laughed about my love stories. When the last movie ended we were cuddled together on the couch my head on his shoulder and his head on mine. I made a suggestion and next thing I knew I was in his bed topless. These moments were the closest JP and I ever came to being a thing. I texted Gabbi in Los Angeles talking about this and apparently the same situation was going on with her new partner, John Verde.
We had to work a case with CGIS and agent Lorin. We were talking about how much Tibbs worked and that maybe he needed a new woman. JP decided to try to hook up Lorin and Tibbs. Lorin overheard JP talking and shut it down. She did suggest some of her friends that could be good.
JP said "They can't just be good."
Lorin replied with "Oh, they can be bad too."
I bit my lip and looked at JP he leaned in to me and whispered in my air "You know, you can be pretty bad too." I chuckled and continued on the case. We believed that the father in a family trying to get into the US was a terrorist. I was talking to his wife about it, and she refused to believe it. She caved a little and asked if I "had ever turned a blind eye on someone I loved."
I said I had and "it was a mistake" I was referring to my father.
JP found the perfect woman for Tibbs, but he had already dated her and shut her down. I asked Tibbs if he was lonely.
His reply was "You're never alone when you have kids. Night, kid." Planting a kiss on my forehead. This almost made me cry although I knew he considered me his daughter that was the first time I had actually heard it out of his mouth.
Then senior was back again. Metro found him in a car with a body in the back. We picked him up and brought him to interrogation. A new agent was starting Dorneget. He was a good agent but, he reminded me of Gemcity. Geeky but, would do anything for the greater good and, easily manipulated by JP. I was about to leave and Senior walked in. "Sophie," he yells and I turn around. "You look ravishing as ever." He then asked JP when he'd come to his senses and "sweep this gorgeous creature off her feet."
I let out a smile and look at JP thinking the same thing.
For Christmas this year JP and I did the same as we did every year. I ran to the store and picked up the ingredients for white chocolate dipped sugar cookies with peppermint kisses. And the stuff for Shakshuka with fennel and feta. Something we had 2 years ago. JP really enjoyed it and so did I. There was a nice red wine and I grabbed it. I checkout and head to JP's house. We cook dinner and then curl up to Elf, Home Alone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and all 3 Santa Clauses. We ended the night cuddled together my head on his shoulder and his head on mine. He turned to me and asks if I want to go to bed.
I reply with "No, Sophie stays here she doesn't move."
I feel him get up then he picks me up. "JP what are you doing? Stop!" I say laughing. He carried me with one arm on my back and the other above my knee to the bedroom.
He plopped me down on the bed then went to his dresser and grabbed 2 OSU t shirts and a pair of sweatpants. He threw a shirt and the sweatpants at me then went to the bathroom. I got changed and laid down in his bed. When he came out of the bathroom he got situated next to me and wraps his arm around my neck and pulls me close. I nuzzle my nose into his neck and rest my head on his shoulder while bringing my other hand to his face. We stayed like this all night needing to be touching constantly. Over the night I must have wrapped my leg around his body because when I woke up my leg was on top of him. I looked at the clock 0600 America has gotten me used to sleeping in. I roll on to JP straddling him and start kissing him. Starting with his lips moving to his jaw. In between I say "חג מולד שמח, Merry Christmas."
He opens his eyes groggily and complains. "Sophie it's 0600, chill."
"Come on I want to open my presents." I say joking.
"Fine," he groans pushing me off of him and going to the bathroom. I walk in and start to undress and get in the shower.
"I promised you I wouldn't sleep with you and you're making that really hard right now." JP says in a low husky voice.
"Join me," I say with my Israeli accent thick. That was something I learned to do and I also know JP loved it.
We climbed in the shower him washing my body and me washing his. When we climbed out I changed into the outfit I kept at his apartment. When I go out to the living room he gives me a gift from under the tree. It was wrapped in brown paper and had a white and red bow on it. I open it and there was a rose gold ring inside that had an infinity symbol with a silver gem in the middle and smaller gems following one side of the infinity. On the inside of the ring the phrase 'Forever & Always' was engraved. He explained to me that it was a friendship promise ring. That he promises never to leave me alone. I put it on my ring finger on my right hand. All these years later I still wear it but, on my left hand. I believe internally that we are married at the soul.
We were working a case when we stopped a truck. The driver climbed out. When the passenger climbed out it was a woman. It was EJ. I thought I finally had him and she comes back. I didn't know why I was thinking like this I had a boyfriend. One I was unloyal to but, a boyfriend nonetheless. I brought them coffee and muffins and when I came JP had a gun pointed at me I said some idiom wrong, and he corrected me. EJ and I were talking, and she asked me about kids. I told her maybe "one day" JP then asked me about Ray I told him he was back and JP mentioned how dysfunctional we both were in a relationship. I told him I was glad to have "someone in my life" as dysfunctional as I am.
He replied with "Agent Ranier do you really consider me to be in your life?" I smiled wondering if maybe we were both so dysfunctional because we were meant to be with each other.
Ray and I were still seeing each other, and he was in town. I didn't take long for me to realize he didn't appreciate me anymore. At least not the way JP did. JP loved me. We found out he had talked to the victim of our case and I went to go talk to him. I was mad at him for standing me up, and he said it was killing him. I got even more mad. He mentioned my father and I shut that down. He said something about never letting me down again then I walked away. That's when he got down on one knee. He asked if I married him. I told him to get up and stop making a scene. I then said I would have to think about it. Looking back I know why I didn't say yes but, I don't know why I didn't say no. I mean I was still head over heels In love with JP.
JP asked me where the ring was and I held up my right hand. "No, the other one." he said.
"You knew?" I angrily spat at him. "Why didn't you talk me?"
He said something about that being a secret all guys keep a "bro code"
I was talking to Ray, and he asked if I would go with him on a jet to tell his parents. JP came down and wondered what I was talking to Ray about. I told him and said I was "seriously considering it." I made a connection between a phone that called a suspect and Ray's number. It turns out that while trying to take down a terrorist he killed the victim then tried to cover it up. I broke it off with him, and we had someone arresting him.
Tibbs asked what he could do for me and I told him to just drive. We got back to the navy yard JP and I had a conversation about me finding someone. I said that I wasn't sure if I wanted to have kids and get married. And I was fine with that and content with my life. JP immediately came back with "content but, are you happy?" I fired back and asked "Are you?"
I got my stuff and walked out with JP and the suspect's husband he asked JP and I how long we had been a couple I told him we were just friends, and he said "That's good you hang on to that." Then Tibbs wouldn't let me be alone, so he took me to his house. When we got there he handed me a beer and got steaks out of the freezer and started a fire. He didn't say a word I knew what he was doing and I finally cracked.
"Why did I trust him. He murdered an innocent woman and then lied to me about it. I think subconsciously I knew not to trust him but, I didn't see it. I was unloyal to him you know." A small nod was all I got from him, so I continued. "It was JP. You already knew didn't you, of course you did you're Tibbs. I am sorry for breaking rule 12 and whatever one I just broke. I know I shouldn't have slept with JP but, it's like I have no control of myself around him. Why doesn't he see this. Why doesn't he know I'm completely in love with him." I go on some more and by the time I am done I have tears running down my face. Tibbs comes over and sits next to me then wraps me in a hug.
"I don't care that you two slept together. I am glad you can come to terms with the fact that you love him but, I am mad at JP."
I give him a questioning look, and he says "He's breaking my little girl's heart."
I laugh and mention that he didn't even know me until I was an adult. He said that I was still his little girl.
I ate some food then went upstairs to the guest room and fell asleep almost instantly. I slept a lot better than I had in a long time.
JP was reading his yearly evaluation and not talking when I came in. He hadn't talk for an hour when I finally came over and snatched up his report. I read that in the comment section Tibbs had written "Agent DiNardo is a good agent but is a little talkative." I laughed at this and said that Tibbs was being nice. JP was trying to stop talking and Tibbs noticed. He asked JP what he thought about the case and JP said he thought that Tibbs didn't like all his talking. Tin s said he relied on it and I think that really made him feel needed.
We got a case where we got involved with an arson detective. He knew JP and JP was affected by this. He was once again quiet. Gemcity and I wondered what was wrong. We went to ask him and saw him reading an old article. It was about a little boy in a fire and a college student who saved him. Gemcity asked "Is that you?"
I backed it up with "Be honest JP, is that you?"
"Yeah." Was all he said.
To make sure I said "You saved Jason from a fire?"
He said "It was the kids lucky day." and put away the articlle.
But I pushed him. He was walking getting ready for a basketball game I believe, and he saw a house on fire. He ran in and saved a little boy when the boy started talking about his sister and JP heard a little girl crying for help. There were too many flames and it was dangerous so JP made the decision to get Jason and himself out, and he couldn't get back to her.
I had a Pilates weekend planned with my landlord when we had a case including classified documents. I called her and told her I had to cancel. Jean-Paul heard this and asked me what I had to cancel I didn't tell him and it drove him crazy.
Jean-Paul got someone to tell him and he told me when we were on our way to Naples, Italy. We went there to get on a ship as undercover agents with a special agent Burley.
We missed Jimmyks wedding because of this psycho terrorists. JP and I were talking about what we hated about weddings. It leads to "The vows" I thought a minute and said "The ring," He returned with "The kiss." I am pretty sure it turned into the things we liked about weddings because we kind of just sat there staring.
The following day we figured out that the terrorist wasn't aftrer Weston he was after his car. JP and I evacuated the building, Gemcity was backing up files, Tibbs was helping someone disable the bomb, Amy was cleaning up her lab, and Weston was making sure everyone left. JP and I decided to check the elevators. While we were innthe elevator the place blew. Tibbs had come back in to get Amy and Gemcity was just leaving. Willy was on the beach when he got the news and he fell to the ground.
A/N I know that undercover as Jean-Paul Tony's last name was Ranier but, I said that was Ziva's last name so now Jean-Paul's last name is DiNardo
