Jenny stood in front of the her mirror,as she looked for the perfect outfit for the night. After Tessa and Abby, decided that she and Jethro, needed sometime to themselves, she had promptly agreed to go on a date night, with a contented smile. The door to her room opened, and in step Tessa, she gazed at her mother, which made her caught her breath, at the sight. "Mom, you need any help?" she asked. Jenny jumped ten feet in surprise.

"Could you?"

"Sure. I know my clothes." she replied walking into the walk-in closet. Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Prada, and Chanel lined one side of the closet, the other side held several polos, dress slacks, sport coats, button downs, and jeans.

"What do you want to wear? Dress or nice pants?" asked Tess as fingered pieces of clothing.

"Abby said not too fancy and not casual."

"Where's daddy getting ready at?"

"Tony's, with McGee."

"So, why am I the only one here?"

"You're not." Abby and Ziva concurred from the doorway. Tessa poked her head out.

"You're late," she commented. "Now come help me." She poked her head back in. They both walked into the closet.

"We need an outfit before shoes." Abby said.

"Well, I do not know what she should wear." Ziva stated, in her slightly accented voice.

"I do." Tessa said with a Cheshire cat smile. She went towards the back of her mother's wardrobe and found it. The dark skinny jeans and the silky red top.

"She doesn't need to be too dressed up and she doesn't need to be too casual. This is perfect."

"What shoes?"

"Black heels."

"Coat?"

"Her long black coat."

"Hair?"

"Curls."

"Make up?"

"Smokey eye, dark red lipstick with a touch of gloss, and flawless."

"Tessa, how do you know all this?"

"Easy. I'm amazing." They all looked at each other before, they exited the bedroom, which was covered in boxes. Tessa set the clothes down and then put her iPod on the dock. 'Taking Chances' by Celine Dion sang through the speakers.

Evan and Ethan were, being babysat by Dillyn and her mom, while Tessa, Ziva, McGee, and Abby all stayed at Tony's place.

Tessa started working on her mother's eyes. After the eyes, came face and followed by her lips. Abby worked on the curls with Ziva found the jewelry. Silver was tonight's color. Jenny went into the bathroom after they finished, and dressed herself. As soon as she walked back into the room, they all gazed at her before they all worked on getting everything on. Jenny slipped into the heels. Ziva, Abby, and Tessa took a step back to look at their fine work.

"We did great." Abby commented.

"Totally," she concurred.

"I have to agree."

"All it took was my magnificent brain and fashion sense." Tessa declared.

"Well, I better get going." Jenny said looking at the time. She walked out of the room and down the stairs. Tessa shut the light off behind her and followed. She helped her mom with her coat, and gave her a kiss on the cheek before letting her leave. Once the door closed it was Abby and Tessa's plan in motion.

"We have to get the tree set up at the new house." Tessa said.

"You guys aren't supposed to be moving until after Christmas though." Ziva said confused.

"We have mostly everything packed up. It's Abby, yours, and mine Christmas present to mom and dad."

"After Tony and McGee get Gibbs out the door and they're over here were loading up the cars and haling ass."

"So, let's go upstairs and get some of the stuff that's in boxes."

"Do you think we should call Tony and ask for a U-Haul?" Abby asked going up the stairs.

"We should get one. Less trips and more time to get stuff in and out." Tessa pulled out her phone and called Tony.

"DiNozzo." he answered.

"Tony it's me. You need to rent a U-Haul."

"I was going to anyways."

"Is dad still there?"

"Yeah I'm gonna have to call you back." he mumbled before shutting his phone. Him and McGee ushered Jethro out the door. He was in a dark red polo, dark jeans, his work shoes, and his coat. Once the door shut Tony and McGee grabbed the coats and waited for him to pull out of the parking lot.

"Tessa, are you sure your father doesn't know about this?" Ziva asked as they carried boxes down.

"Yeah." she replied. They continued to get boxes for about twenty minutes before Tony and McGee got there.

"How much U-Haul space do we have?"

"I got the biggest one I could, Tess."

"How big?"

"Pretty damn big." he replied.

"Start loading stuff up and we'll get the rest that's packed up." Abby, Ziva, and Tessa went upstairs and the boys started taking the stuff out to the U-Haul. After about two hours of hauling stuff down the stairs and out to the U-Haul it was done for upstairs. The U-Haul was not even half full.

A couple sat smiling and laughing at a corner booth in a tiny Italian place. Her green eyes were sparkling just sitting near him.

"Jethro, we need a name."

"You're about eight weeks. We do not need a name."

"Yeah we do."

"Jen, just pick a name."

"Did you know what your daughter and Abby were planning?" she asked taking a bite of her pasta.

"Yeah. Moving the stuff we have packed up into the new house."

"We aren't supposed to be moving in there until after Christmas."

"Well, I think Tess is anxious to get in there."

"White granite counter tops, dark wood cabinets, wood floors, huge fridge, it's Tessa dream home."

"She is just happy she gets to stay at WJH."

"True. Dillyn's there."

"I'm going to say this right now, no talk about kids, work, or anything, but us tonight."

"I agree." she smiled at him. He took her soft hand and gently kissed it. She blushed. How he still had the effect on her, the world may never know. Onlookers noticed the lovely couple. Everyone knew those two were in love. They finished dinner and decided to take a walk down in the park. Fingers intertwined as they made their way down the path. They caught glances at each other when they thought the other one wasn't looking.

"Jen," he said breaking the silence.

"Hmm."

"Do you know where your engagement ring is?" She looked down at her left hand and realized it wasn't there.

"I thought I had it on when I left the house." He stopped abruptly released her hand and turned her fancing him; he got down on one knee and took her left hand is his. It was a fairytale type proposal.

"I've been meaning to do this right for awhile and I was gonna wait until Christmas, but the timing was just too perfect." he started pulling out the ring box in his right pocket. She felt the tears coming on. "Jenny no one has made me as happy as you've had since Shannon. Will you Jennifer Christine Shepard marry me?" he said and popped the box open. t The ring sparkled around them as the moonlight flashed from each corner of the white gold princess cut diamond engagement ring.

Shocked at the suddenness of it all, she inhales the much need oxygen, before her response spilled from her lips.

"Yes." she choked out through tears. With trembling hands, he slipped the ring onto her slender finger perfectly. . He was going to have to thank Abby later. As Jethro started to stand up, Jenny immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. Their lips collided shortly after her arm locked around him. Feeling a light tap on to her cheek, she gently pulled away from his addictive lips and glanced at the light flurry of snow that had start to fall. She looked back into Jethro's cobalt eyes, and blushed under his caring stare. Something about his eyes always made her weak. Sparkling green eyes, shone like emerald diamonds.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you too," the honesty was evidence in her voice. They kissed once more and continued their walk. What was at home was going to surprise them.

They had gotten all of the boxes out of the old house.

"We have beds, some clothes, a couch, a computer, the tv, the boat, and some stuff in the kitchen to get out, and we're done."

"You also have some toys for Evan and Ethan."

"Yes, but this means we'll get to have a big Christmas."

"When you walk into that house it's huge."

"It's even better that I get to live there."

"Let's go." Tony said trying to warm his hands. Tony and McGee got into the U-Haul and Abby, Ziva, and Tessa got into Ziva's car. They drove to the new house in the newest neighborhood in DC. The richer neighborhood too. They pulled into the snowy drive way and saw the huge French windows. The huge French styled doors were a beautiful awakening. They got out into the snowy, cold, DC air. The boys unlocked the back hatch while Tessa opened the door. They started unloading the truck and putting them into their proper rooms. As you walked into the huge pale gray house, you saw the gold chandelier, several crystals, and lights hung from the huge fixture. It filled the textured pale yellow walled room with a light glow. To your right was the living area; to your left was the library and study. In front, there was a huge double staircase that led you up to the second floor. The kitchen and dining room was to the left like you were walking towards the library. The master bedroom was upstairs and had a balcony. Ziva, Abby, Tony, and McGee looked around in awe at the lavish house. Tessa thumped up the stairs in socked feet to her bedroom.

The bright green walls with the striped hot pink, white, and green border made her smile. The huge walk-in closet, bathroom, and little computer area was all she had wanted. She opened her one of boxes labelled clothes; grabbed the hangers and started unloading. The closet had two sides, several drawers and storage areas. Tessa took advantage of the space. She hung all her sweaters, slacks, dress shirts, and dresses on one side; on the other jeans, skirts, t-shirts, comfortable clothes, and cami's. She started unpacking her shoes and undergarments before going into Evan and Ethan's room and helping unpack.

"We're almost done unpacking everything we have." Tessa said hanging up stuff in Evan's side of the closet. The dark blue room with sports border was perfect. There was another one in the house like it, so when the boys got older they would have their separate rooms. The popcorn white celling would be perfect for the boys. Hardwood floors were always good.

"So, Tess, when do you think you guys will be fully moved in?" Abby asked after they finished and were walking down stairs.

"I don't know, but I think before Christmas and we'll have Christmas here." she replied.

"We'll let Gibbs and Jenny unpack their room." Tony commented.

"That's a good idea, DiNozzo." Ziva said. Right before they left, they all turned and looked at the house in front of them.

"The boys are going to love it here." Tessa commented.

"I might just come and move in with guys." Tony said in his way.

"It is perfect." Ziva smiled.

"I agree, Ziva." Abby said.

"Let's get going before someone thinks we were breaking in." McGee said. No one had heard the door open. Tessa had a feeling someone was watching them.

"Do you think we'll be able to hear the Gibbs and Director from here?" Tony asked. He felt a hand collide with his head.

"Too late, DiNozzo." Tony's eyes widened in shock.

"Uh hi Boss. Didn't know you were there. Didn't mean it the way it sounded." he stammered. Abby, Ziva, and Tessa giggled like schoolgirls.

"Tessa Marie," her father barked.

"Yeah."

"When did you plan on telling me?"

"Right after you noticed everything was practically missing." she smiled awkwardly.

"Riiight."

"Daddy, it's good to have stuff done early. That means Christmas can be here this year."

"You guys should get out of here and have the rest of the night." Tessa added.

"Tess, we came by to say thank you." Jenny said knowing her fiancé wasn't ever going to get to it.

"Really? I thought you guys would be mad."

"Nah. It's you, so I can't be mind." Jethro said.

"Uh huh." Tessa said disbelieving him.

"Come on Tess, mommy and daddy would like a night without you." Abby said.

"Well you guys ruined the surprise and love you." Tessa said quickly before Abby pulled her out into the cold. The rest of the team left, leaving Jenny and Jethro in the house.

"We still haven't designated a room for the new baby." Jenny said walking up the stairs running her hand along the banister.

"Jen, I was thinking of the room to the right of us."

"Right across from Tessa's and it would be easier to get him or her in and out of."

"Yeah."

"Jethro, did you think in Paris you would be standing here with me today?" she asked at the top looking over there large walk-in area. He wrapped his arms around and said, "Possibly. I can't honestly remember."

"I'm so glad I'm way younger than you." she commented resting her forehead on his chest. He settled his chin on top of her head and they stood there like that for awhile.

"Baby I've been drifting away

Dreaming all day

Of holding you

Touching you

The only thing I want to do

Is be with you

As close to you

As I can be

Let's make love

All night long

Until all our strength is gone

Hold on tight

Just let go

I wanna feel you in my soul

Until the sun comes up

Let's make love

Oh, baby." she sang softly. He chuckled. One time in her study she had that song playing.

"Do you know what you do to me

Everything inside of me

Is wanting you

And needing you

I'm so in love with you

Look in my eyes

Let's get lost tonight

In each other." he sang back softly.

"Let's make love

All night long

Until all our strength is gone

Hold on tight

Just let go

I want to feel you in my soul

Until the sun comes up

Let's make love

Let's make love

All night long

Until all our strength is gone

Hold on tight

Just let go

I want to feel you in my soul

Until the sun comes up

Oh, until the sun comes up

Let's make love

Oh baby, let's make love

All night long

All night long

Let's make love." They sang together quietly. She looked into his blue eyes and saw everything. Every little flash of love. Every little spark, every little detail. She knew she was taking a risk by marrying him, but they would always have Paris. Always have the three kids. Always have each other. He bent down and kissed her softly. She reacted by wrapping her arms around his neck; the engagement ring caught the right amount of light and sparkled.

"Who knew Leroy Jethro Gibbs, knew that song," she teased as they walked down the stairs hand and hand. Her fingers fit perfectly between his, as if they were destined. They slipped out of the house and drove home. Her hand never left his. They made it back to the house and when they walked in, they were shocked. The smell of roses and candles filled the air. A small note left on the stand by the stairs caught Jenny's attention. In Tessa's neat script, it said:

Mom and Dad,

You guys needed at romantic night to each other, so before we went back to Tony's for a movie night I lit candles and yadda yadda. Well think of this as spur of the moment idea. We all love you and DO NOT I repeat DO NOT go into detail about tonight. Love you.

Tess

Jenny softly chuckled. It was Tessa all over. Ever since Max had broken up with her, she was happier. She set the note back down and motioned Jethro to follow her up the stairs seductively. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her. After she had her arms wrapped around his neck, she hopped up and wrapped her legs around his waist with a out of character squeal.

"Tony pick a different movie." the girls complained in the pajamas on his couch.

"Nope."

"Yep."

"Come on, we're not watching a chick flick."

"Women are not poultry." McGee said quietly.

"You know what McPoultry, shut the hell up!" Tessa said.

"Let's watch..."

"National Tressure 2: Book of Secrets!"

"I can agree with that," he said looking for the DVD. He popped the movie in. Tessa rested her head in Abby's lap about mid-movie. As soon as the movie ended, McGee and Tony glanced at the sleeping figures of Tessa, Abby, and Ziva. McGee and Tony were about to fall asleep. The team and Tess did not know what had just practically happened across town.

They were starting to come down from their highs, for the second time that night. Their heavy breathing, from their satisfying activity, was starting to even.

"We still cannot beat our record Jethro." she muttered; still a little dazzled from their frenzied love making.

"Not trying to tonight." He whispered.

"What was it? Seven times?"

"Like you don't remember."

"It's a possibility."

"You've had two kids, not gotten that much older."

"Jethro do you remember how old I was in Paris?"

"You were in your early thirties."

"Yeah, I was exactly thirty. Now I'm like forty."

"You just turned forty in November."

"Do not remind me," she groaned propping herself on his chest.

"Jen, it doesn't do anything to ya." he said rubbing circles on her arms. She rested her head on his chest letting his heartbeat lull her to sleep with a mumbled 'love you'. He soon let sleep take over him in wonder what his daughter was doing.
