Chapter 11
"The what?" Gibbs asked his eyes wide with confusion, happiness and a little bit of excitement.
"The baby" Fornell repeated, feeling uneasy under all the sets of eyes that were on him, the whole of Jenny's team and Gibbs'.
"Jenny's pregnant" Tobias looked at them all like it was the most obvious thing in the world, like it was something they all should have realised "You guys didn't know" they all shook their heads.
Gibbs' mouth was open as wide as his eyes.
"She's about a month, so I take it that ugh, Gibbs is the father unless…." He trailed off.
"Of course Gibbs is the father" Abby shook her head "Jenny isn't the type to cheat" she protested.
"Jennifer may not even know" Ducky began to muse "She works so hard, she may not have noticed" he explained "Has she been acting any different to you?" he asked looking at Gibbs.
"Nope" Gibbs shook his head, he was sure that Jenny would have told him when she found out. But then he began to wonder what this meant for their future. He already admitted he was in love with her and she said the same, he'd already pictured himself having a future with her, to start a family with her something he'd never wanted with any of his other relationships.
"Where is she now?" Ziva asked, her voice breaking through Gibbs's thoughts.
"She's in recovery and should wake up soon, you can go see her if you want, in room 245" Tobias smiled to the Israeli women before turning to his friend "Jethro you can take them can't you?"
"Uh yeah" Gibbs nodded weakly to Jenny's friends before they began to follow him out of the waiting room.
"Page me when she wakes up" Fornell asked over his shoulder to the other doctor
"Yup" Gibbs yelled back.
Moments later they arrived at Jenny's hospital room. Gibbs let the team go in first staying behind to take a breath, to prepare himself, to seeing jenny differently, now she was more than just his girlfriend that he was madly in love with but now she was the mother of his unborn child, the women he loved was carrying his baby.
He heard Abby gasp as she looked at Jenny who lay, pale and until in the bed with all sorts of wire coming out of her hooked up to machines. "It always looks worse than it is" Gibbs told them for comfort, it was true most of the machines were just there to tell the doctors that everything was ok.
Everyone spent half an hour watching Jenny as she slept, taking comfort in the movement of her chest, up and down and she breathed in and out.
"We should go" Ducky commented after a while "We all need a rest, she may not wake up soon" he added and the team nodded in agreement. "You'll call us won't you?" the ME asked Gibbs.
"Of course" Gibbs nodded. So five minutes later Ducky and the team left, holding Gibbs to his promise. It meant that Gibbs was now left alone with Jenny.
Carefully he made his way over to sit in the chair at her side, he leant over and grabbed her hand and pressed a kiss to the palm of her hand. "I love you Jen" he mumbled.
His other hand then went to her abdomen where the life that they created grew it still hadn't quite sunk in.
"Jethro" a low whisper from Jenny got his attention, Gibbs turned to look at her to find her eyes slightly open "Jethro" she spoke again.
"Jen" he stood and leant over her placing kisses to her face making her give him a weak smile, the pain killers making her feel exhausted. She then watched as he pulled out his pager and paged someone.
"Did you….." she trailed off, feeling weird if he had operated on her, if he had been the one to open her up and see her insides.
"No" Gibbs shook his head "I had Dr Fornell to do it" he smiled "I couldn't…." he trailed off, tears almost welling in his eyes as he thought of what he would have to do.
"I wouldn't…" Jenny began knowing that he would know what she was going on.
"Jenny it's good to see you awake" Fornell gave her a weak smile as he walked into the room. "I managed to remove the bullets and stop the internal bleeding, you should recover normally" he explained.
Jenny eyed Fornell, she could see that there was something he was hiding. "What aren't you telling me?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.
"While doing your blood tests, we found that you are pregnant, we then decided to do a scan to make sure everything is ok and it is, you're about a month gone" Fornell explained.
Jenny's expression was similar to what Gibbs's had been, she was shocked, she hadn't been expecting it. I mean she wanted children; she'd always thought that she might one day be lucky enough to find Mr perfect and settle down but wasn't expecting that to happen right now.
"I'll leave you two alone, I'll come back in the morning to check up on you" Fornell then left the couple alone.
"I can't…." Jenny began "I'm…We're…"
"I know" Gibbs nodded slowly "It's scary, but we can do this Jen" Gibbs assured her by squeezing her hand only to have her move away.
"You don't have to stay with me, just because I'm having your kid" Jenny's eyes met his.
"Jen, I'm gunna stay with you, baby or no baby, I'm in love with you, I love you" Gibbs told her before pressing a kiss to her forehead.
Jenny closed her eyes and in haled his comforting sent of coffee, sawdust and a hint of bourbon. "I love you too" she mumbled "I didn't even know" she shook her head "Some detective I am" she mumbled to herself as Gibbs sat on the edge of the bed.
"You've been busy, easy to miss" he smiled as he pushed a lock of hair behind her ear making sure it was out of her beautiful face.
"Ziva got him by the way, the bastard that did this to you" Gibbs gestured to the bandages across her chest.
"I knew she would" Jenny smiled to herself "So we're gunna be ok?" she asked resting a hand on her stomach, there was no sign yet of the baby inside her it was almost like a little secret that was just between herself and Gibbs.
"We're going to be amazing, you are going to be an amazing mother" Gibbs leant down and kissed her, everything was gunna be better than amazing.
