Jenny flipped through the channels, until she found the appropriate one, and turned the volume up. They listened to the reporter on the television recount the day's events. And Tony scoffed, "Federal authorities. They mean us! Four stinkin' letters. NCIS."

Jenny smiled from her place in her chair, " It's either that story Tony, or the FBI charges you with interfering in their investigation."

"Nah I can live with federal authorities."

Jenny stood, walking toward Ziva, "Welcome home Ziva."

Ziva stood, a small smile gracing her features "Well, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Gibbs."

"And me." Tony volunteered from his chair.

They both looked at him, giving him a look as if to say, 'yeah right' and Ziva spoke, slightly amused, "True," making Tony smile at finally getting some credit, "But uh mostly Gibbs."

"Speaking of which…?" she asked, screaming inside at the idea of having to tell him about all he had missed, but if he was staying, he deserved to know.

"He's uh in the squad room," Tony said, eyeing her with question in his eyes, "Are you…?

"Yea," she sighed, nervous at the prospect of it.

"Where is he McGee? Abby's lab?" she asked as they rounded the corner, an expectant smile on her face.

"Gibbs left ma'am," he said regretfully, fearing her reaction. "Said he had a flight to catch."

Jenny nodded contritely, a sad smile on her face.

"You sure bout that McGee?" Tony asked. They had all been expecting him to stay, everyone but Jenny.

"Yeah Tony I'm sure," he said in the same disappointed tone he had used before.

"Nah, 'cause he didn't even say goodbye to me."

"Director. He wanted me to give you this." McGee said, holding the white envelope out to her. She took it in confusion, having no idea what it could possibly be. She unfolded the flap, pulling out an 8x10 Polaroid of her, about a decade younger, standing in front of a small farmhouse. She smiled as everyone gathered around her. He did remember.

"Oh. Nice snap." Tony said, eyeing the picture, "When was that taken?"

"Serbia," she said, remembering the time that the picture was taken, as well as the one of him sitting in her nightstand drawer.

"When?" Ziva asked, a small smile on her face, glad to see her friend smiling at the memory.

Jenny turned to her, the smile on her face widening, "A lifetime ago Ziva."

Jenny walked into her house that night, genuinely happy for the first time since Gibbs had left. He was happy in Mexico, and she was happy, here with her children. It was only 0500. She walked into the house quietly in case one or both of the twins were asleep. She was confused to see gates put up all over the house. Jacob had rolled over two weeks prior, and Leilah three days afterward, but neither of them were crawling.

"Noemi?" she called, and the young woman came out of the kitchen smiling.

"Senora!" she greeted, happily, "you are home."

"Yes," Jenny said with a smile." Noemi why are the gates up? And why do you look so happy? Did something good happen?"

"Come. I will show you," she said, walking over to the play yard in the living room.

Jenny followed, wondering what could possibly be going on. She stopped as Noemi lifted Leilah out of her play yard and put her on the floor. "Go to mama," she said placing her on the floor. Jenny gasped in surprise, and smiled as Leilah crawled the few feet between them. She bent down to pick her up, tickling her tummy, "Good job my big girl! Look what you did!"

Leilah cooed at her and Jenny smiled before walking over to lift Jacob from his play yard as well. "Is that normal Noemi?" Jenny asked, thinking that her daughter was crawling very early.

"I don't think so Senora. My sister, her baby is six months now. He only just started to crawl."

"Oh my goodness. Has Jacob done it at all?"

"No. Just Leilah."

"Oh well, that's okay," she said smiling at him, before turning back to Noemi, "Anything else happen today?"

"No. Jacob, he is getting a little cough, but I don't think you should worry just now. They are in separe rooms too, so she will not catch it I hope."

"Are you sick honey," Jenny cooed, holding a hand to the side of his face, and then his forehead. "He's a little warm. Have you taken his temperature?" she asked Noemi.

"Si, it was normal, but that was at two."

"Okay, take Leilah for me," she said, handing the little girl to her. After handing Leilah to Noemi, she headed up the stairs with Jacob. He started to whine and she bounced him on her shoulder, shushing him. "Okay honey. I know."

She rummaged around in her bathroom for the thermometer. She took his temperature and looked at the reading, 99.6. "Okay not too bad. I think you're just getting a little cold."

That night Jenny crawled into bed at a decent hour, for the first time that week. She bit her finger, debating with herself before picking up the phone. The recipient of her call answered on the second ring and she hesitated only a split second before responding. "Hey Todd. So remember how I said I'd get back to you on that date when you asked me on Thursday?… I'd love to go."

A/N: I know! Don't hate me, Gibbs will be back in the next chapter. Don't worry, he has to come back to help Fornell right? :) Review please!
