December 11

Jenny was very happy, she loved Christmas and she loved Jethro even more so spending Christmas with him was bringing her a lot of happiness.

It was the day before Christmas Eve and Jenny was working mad in her office, just off of caffeine to get all the paper work and reports signed on time and so she had been asked to not be disturbed unless it was an emergency.

She smiled when she looked up at her pile of work to find it shrinking, it was then that she got out of her big director's chair got the presents out of her cupboard and went into the outer office, where Cynthia was sitting behind her desk with not much to do, "You can go home for the holidays"

"Are you sure?" the younger women asked in surprise over the years he knew that her boss would work the holidays and so Cynthia usually didn't mind coming in for a couple of hours to help her organise things, but this year the director was taking the holidays off she wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that a certain Special agent stopped by a lot more and was often being locked in the director's office with her, but then that wasn't her place to say.

"Yeah, go spend time with your family" Jenny assured the brunette "Oh and merry Christmas" Jenny smiled before handing her ever so faithful assistant an envelope with her Christmas bonus in it then handed her a bottle of wine.

"Thank you director, Merry Christmas" Cynthia smiled before beginning to gather herself together ready to leave.

Jenny smiled and nodded to her assistant before turning back to her own office to finish the last of her reports, a determined glint in her eyes.

Just as she'd finished the last one Gibbs walked in locking her door behind him, holding a coffee in one hand. "Hi" Jenny looked up at Gibbs over the rim of her pink reading glasses and smiling at him as he approached her.

"Hey" He reached down and kissed her gently, letting her enjoy the taste of coffee on his lips before they pulled away. "You almost done?" Gibbs asked looking at her pile of paper work.

"Yeah" Jenny nodded "I'm on the last one" she smiled at him, signing the paper in front of her before taking off her glasses and touching the bridge of her nose as he eyes began to hurt.

Gibbs watched her for a moment before sitting on the edge of her desk and taking a sip of his coffee "So, how are you spending Christmas?" he asked her.

Jenny smirked at him for a moment "With you I believe" she smiled at him, it was going to be their first Christmas together in seven years and they were both looking forward to it.

"I've been thinking" Gibbs almost sighed getting her attention.

"What?" Jenny asked concerned looking over at him.

"How would you like to take a trip this Christmas?" he asked giving her a smile.

"Where?" Jenny asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"To go visit my dad in Stillwater?" Gibbs queried the women he loved.

Jenny knew that Jackson Gibbs was alive, she also knew that Gibbs hadn't been in contact with his father in years. She smiled for a moment, he wanted to take her to meet his father, they were at the stage in their relationship.

"Yeah" Jenny nodded.

"Really" Gibbs was surprised Jenny had said yes, "Love you" he leant down and kissed Jenny on the lips.

The next day they had left in the morning of Christmas Eve and it hadn't taken them long to arrive in Stillwater, Gibbs looked over at Jenny to find her looking at herself in her compact mirror, now he knew she wasn't a particularly vein person so this surprised him.

"What are you doing?" Gibbs asked putting his eyes back on the road.

"Jethro, you're not going to have to go through this" Jenny stated running a hand through her hair.

"Through what?" Gibbs asked the women he loved, his voice very confused.

"Meeting the parent's, mine are gone, I mean what if I make a bad impression"

"Then we'll go home and never talk to him again" Gibbs teased.

"Jethro seriously" Jenny almost whined.

Gibbs sighed "I love you Jen, ok no matter what"

Jenny smiled at him "I love you too" she then turned to look out of the window and saw the sign that said 'Welcome to Stillwater'.

They drove through the quaint little village, rows of houses all covered in Christmas decorations, the streets all covered in a thin blanket of snow. It seemed like the ideal place to live.

"We're here" Gibbs told her as they pulled up outside a little village store.

Inside the shop Jackson Gibbs was putting freshly homemade fudge in a jar, whistling a Christmas tune to himself.

"You ready?" Jenny asked giving Gibbs's hand a squeeze, she knew that him seeing his father would be difficult, she wanted to show him that she would be there with him, he wasn't alone.

Gibbs nodded squeezing her hand back before deciding they needed to get out of the car. She then did the same. Together they walked to the shop, then together they walked in.

At the sound of the bell Jackson Gibbs turned around "How can I he…" he began but stopped when his blue eyes set on his son's. "Leroy" he glared at his son, Jenny couldn't help the similarities between Jack's glare and Gibbs's.

"Hi dad" Gibbs spoke his voice a little hoarse

"You haven't spoken or seen me in over a decade and you just turn up, not letter, no call, nothing" Jack was angry and hurt.

"I know" Gibbs nodded "I was stupid, I was stubborn, It's Christmas time for forgiveness for family"

"Your right son" Jack nodded, he knew his son didn't believe in apologies so he wouldn't be getting one, so what Gibbs had just said was as close as it was going to get. He then walked across the room and hugged his son, slapping him on the back.

"And who might this be?" Jack asked noting the redhead who had watched the whole seen unfold.

"Jenny Shepard, my girlfriend" Gibbs wrapped an arm around Jenny.

"It's nice to meet you Miss Shepard" Jack shook Jenny's hand.

"Please call me Jenny" she smiled to the older man, she could definitely see the similarities between the man she loved and his father. "Merry Christmas" she handed him a bottle bag containing a nice bottle of bourbon something that Gibbs had suggested.

"Thank you" Jack smiled, he liked Jenny, he could see that his son had a bright future with her. "You to come in, shut the door, it's freezing outside, can I get you some coffee?"

"Would love some" Jenny nodded before following him into the back of the store, Gibbs followed shortly behind with a smile on his face, he had known that Jenny and his ad would get on well, he was so happy he did.

Hours later Jenny was busy in the kitchen, she had offered to cook them both dinner and she wouldn't take no for an answer, so the men had no choice other than to sit together and watch TV.

"So" Jack turned to his son "How come you've finally come?" he asked.

Gibbs gave his father a small smile "I guess, I realised that I've been stupid and stubborn, Jenny doesn't have any family left, I did" he sighed "Plus I thought it was time for you to meet Jenny"

"Why bring Jenny here" Jack shrugged his shoulders "You never brought any of your other women to see me, I believe you've been married three other times and you never brought them down to meet me" Jack's voice was a little raised in anger.

"Jenny's different" Gibbs stated, "I love her, this time I really love her"

Jack nodded "Don't you dare let her slip through your fingers" he told his son in stern voice.

"I don't plan on it" Gibbs assured his dad "I'm going to ask her to marry me?" he spoke in a small whisper so the women in question wouldn't hear them.

"When?" Jack whispered moving closer to his son.

"New Years" Gibbs smiled.

"I'm sure she'll say yes" Jack patted his son on the back.

Jenny then came into the lounge "Dinner's ready" she spoke then thought she had interrupted something. "Have I interrupted something?" she asked concerned.

"Nothing" Gibbs smiled at her before getting up of the sofa and walking with her to the kitchen, his hand ghosting the small of her back.

Jack smiled at the couple, he couldn't wait to call her his daughter in-law.

That's the end of this one….
