Chapter 10

Never had she been so nervous in her life, she felt sick to her stomach, nothing could calm her not the thought that she wasn't alone, he had a family, a man that loved her, to catch her if everything crumbed beneath her feet.

Jenny had gotten to work early, hoping to busy herself to keep her mind occupied, so she didn't get worried, so she didn't get all worked up over this, so she didn't make herself feel sick like she already did.

Instead of doing work, all she'd done is stare off into space, look at the bright orange walls of her office and think of her life, think of all she had been through in the last year, it had begun with her husband being kidnapped, being held by the man who killed her father, her husband had regained his memory and they'd worked through it all, they'd almost regained what they once had or if not more, she thought with a smile.

She knew being married to one of her agents would mean that she was seriously putting her job on the line, her reputation, there were already rumours and speculations that she'd slept her way to the top, but how would it look when she revealed that she had married to her former boss/mentor, it would just fuel the fires more.

The redhead looked at the clock on her desk, the time was coming, she could hear the music about to start.

There came the loud buzz of the intercom then Cynthia's voice followed "Special agent Gibbs is here to see to ma'am" her assistant informed her.

"Send him in" Jenny replied swallowing the lump in her throat and sitting up in her chair.

She watched as her husband walked in and closed the door behind him, then set his blue eyes on her, she noted how they softened when they looked at her almost making her weak and the knees.

"You ready?" Gibbs asked his wife, looking at her in concern as he noted that she looked a little green.

"As ready as I'll ever be" she replied getting up out of her chair and began to walk around her desk to stand in front of him. "You don't have to come with me if you don't want to, if you have work to do" she assured him, although she would love the support of him being there she knew how he felt about their superiors.

Gibbs took her petite hand in his and ran a thumb over her knuckles gently "We're in this together" he told her with a soft smile.

"Director Sec-Nav is waiting in MTAC for you" Cynthia's voice came through the intercom.

"Let's get this show on the road" Jenny told him Gibbs with a sigh before smoothening down her t-shirt and walking out of her office aware that her husband was right behind her.

He followed her out across the catwalk and towards the walls with MTAC written on it, he watched as Jenny bent slightly to a line her eye with the eye scanner, his gaze falling quickly to her ass, Jenny felt his gaze, looked over her shoulder at him and glared, he just smirked, not even the slightest bit sorry for being caught.

Once inside the room Jenny turned to the technicians "Could you leave us" she smiled at them sweetly, they nodded before walking out.

Then the couple stood in the middle of the room as the fuzzy grey screen turned to a video conference with their boss.

"Ah Jennifer, how are you?" Sec-Nav asked her; slightly nervous as to why she wanted to talk to him.

"I'm very well sir" Jenny smiled at him as Gibbs moved slightly close to the redhead.

"Special agent Gibbs, I didn't see you there" the superior admitted as he acknowledged the special agent.

"Sir" Gibbs grunted with a slight nod of his head, being his usual none talkative self.

Sec-Nav's gaze then turned to the redhead "What is it that you wanted to talk about Director?" he asked her.

Jenny swallowed the lump in her throat that had formed again and took a deep breath to calm herself, "The thing is Sir is that….Well…. special agent Gibbs…. And I….." she found herself stumbling with her words, feeling like she was being interrogated by one of her parents or something

Gibbs looked to his side and noticed how his usually very confident wife was over nervous and finding it hard to get her thoughts straight let alone talk. He decided to step in.

He reached out and wrapped and arm around Jenny's waist pulling her close, surprising not only the Sec-Nav but Jenny too, "what the director is trying to say sir is that we thought that we would inform you that we have been married for almost the past two years and are expecting a child" he told him, he wasn't asking permission, he was informing him, cementing the fact that nothing could part them, not again, especially not this guy.

"Jennifer is this true?" the Sec-Nav asked his gaze falling onto the redhead.

Jenny held Gibbs' arm a little tighter "Yes it is" she nodded slightly with a bright smile on her face.

There was a pause as their boss collected his thoughts, neither Jenny nor Gibbs were sure what was going to say, to be totally they didn't care, even if he fired them both on the spot, they had each other, they had their friends and now they were expecting a child, something they'd always wanted.

"Well…." Sec-Nav spoke making the couple look up at him on the screen in front of them, "All I can say really is congratulations" he could have sworn he'd seen them both let out a sigh. "I have another meeting to get to, we can sort out details of maternity and paternity leave at a later date, I have another meeting I should get to" he told them.

Jenny and Gibbs nodded "Thank you sir" the redhead smiled at her boss, so happy she would have the best of both worlds.

"Ah and Agent Gibbs" Sec-Nav stopped the couple from ending the chat.

"Sir" Gibbs looked up, Jenny still at arm's length.

"Look after her" the older man nodded to Gibbs through the screen.

"Semper-fi" Gibbs replied, his voice full of honesty and confidence, he wouldn't let Jenny out of his sight for the next seven months, he would pander to her every demand, it was his job, after all she was carrying his child.

Sec-Nav gave them both a small smile before ending the video call.

"And breath" Jenny joked as she took a step back and flopped down into one of the many chairs behind her, her hand automatically going to rest on her only slightly rounding stomach.

Gibbs smiled at his wife lovingly before approaching her, drinking in the sight of her with every step he took towards her.

"What?" Jenny asked him, eyeing him with her shimmery green orbs.

"Nothing" Gibbs told her, knowing he was smiling like a fool.

He was a fool, a man who'd let this beautiful women go twice now, both times not even fought to have her back, he'd just watched their relationship be torn into a million pieces and left lying on the floor, now thought the pieces had been tapped back together and more pieces were being added in the form of their future together, of their beautiful baby, and he could never let any of it slip through his fingers again.
