A/N: I am sorry if the last chapter was confusing. This is a complicated story to put together. I got many wonderful reviews. In case you are confused in the last chapter Jen agreed to take a few days off as long as someone comes by, and the rapist tried to kill her. Yeah the usual NCIS right? Anyway here we go!
She woke up her vision blurred a little, as she wiped her eyes. She looked at the window which had holes in it, another one that was shattered. She cracked her neck and slowly sat up, breathing in fresh air. However how fresh can air be when you don't know who you are anymore? She wiped her eyes, which had few tears and cursed under her breath.
The scent of coffee slowly filled the room which woke her up quickly as she walked down the stairs. She expected him to be there, but the sight was much different then she had ever pictured.
"Shit." she cursed under her breath. He somehow heard her reaction and turned around.
"You were shot? Why didn't you tell me?" she asked staring at a fresh bullet wound in his shoulder, wrapped in a shirt.
"You have enough on your hands, Jen." He said handing her a cup of coffee. Obviously he wasn't prepared to have a long worn out argument with her.
"I'm still an agent Jethro. I think I can handle knowing you get shot. Did you go to the hospital?"
"No"
Silence filled the area quickly as the two continued to wait for something to be said. Soon the silence turned to awkwardness, each staring at each other unsure what to do next. Soon enough, yet too far away, his phone rang, causing her to jump out of her skin and him to feel more concern than ever.
"Yeah Gibbs." he said picking up the phone. "Got it." He hung up.
"Therapy day Jen, go get dressed"
"I thought we agreed to no therapy."she complained
"That was the secretary of the navy. He said he wants you on therapy for at least a week before you come back."
"He needs to stop sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Can't I just say I went to therapy?"
"Get dressed."
She sighed dramatically, and quickly walked up the steps.
AT THERAPY
Sitting down in the unfamiliar seat she felt insecure. Therapy only brought back things that needed to be forgotten. Abigail was across from her, and Jethro was next to her, yet she still felt unsafe. There was also another woman who was older with curly blonde/gray hair. She wore a blue blouse and a white knee-length skirt.
"Good to see you again Jenny, Jethro. This is Cameron but here we call her Cami. She will help deal with your pregnancy. I assume you do not want an abortion?" Abigail asked.
Jenny slightly nodded her head.
"Since you are older the pregnancy can cause problems. it will be harder on your body. Although at the time it might feel awful, I want a man by your side at all times. You will start to get sick in the mornings and -"
"GREAT." Jenny nearly yelled cutting her off. Now instead of monthly pains I'll just get a little bit of pain everyday. no big deal right?" she asked sarcasm dripping off her lips.
"Jen-"
"I can't do this." she said standing up and walking out of the room.
Abigail sighed. "Sometimes she's gonna be like that. Do you mind giving us a moment?" she asked Cami. Cami shuffled out of the room speechless, and soon Leroy Jethro Gibbs was sitting alone with Abigail in the office.
"He tried to kill her last night." Gibbs blurted a little angrily.
"Some things I cant fix, even when they seem... may I say easy?" she responded.
"She can't sleep, she wont eat. She refuses to be alone. When does she come back? I want back the Jenny I used to know."
"Tell her that. Tell her you don't like seeing her this way. Based on her performance here, she isn't interested in help for herself. Maybe if she thinks it's for you she will be more willing. Have you spoken to her about sex in any way? Maybe cracked a dirty joke, said the word sexy, anything?"
He shook his head.
"I hate to ask, I really do but is she into sex? Does she enjoy it? Would she miss it?"
Remembering how rough she had been in Paris. The hunger, the craving, and the force applied obviously showed her strength in her body. Her techniques were also very casual to her, very easy to do. There was no doubt, before her attack Jenny Shepard enjoyed sex.
"Yeah she'd miss it." he admitted.
Abigail nodded. "I can draw the general decision that she is moving fast. She wants to be able to have sex, and be herself again. However the way she is pushing herself, the force and the speed will only make it worse. She's trying to forget what happened to her, but she wont be able to. In fact with a baby on the way she might never forget... I would like you to stay with her and slowly hint to her. I know it might be awkward since you've slept with her, but try to act like her husband or someone special. If it's too serious then you can back down."
Although it wasn't the best way to get back what they had, this might be a start to getting back the relationship they had so long ago. Secretly leaving the room he manged to sneak in his own personal smile.
I am sooooo sorry this chapter took forever. School is crazy. We had a dance, testing, research papers, journals, book reports, homework, etc! So busy! Anyway I should be able to put up the next chapter very soon! There are only a few reviews required for this one since it was late and short. However please review!
