It's been a couple weeks since that eventful day. Jenny was at the hospital with Gibbs. She was so excited to get her stitches removed, especially the ones from her head. She knew she already had hair growing back and that made her happy and even more it made Gibbs happy. They sat in the waiting area and Jenny's leg was bouncing. Gibbs put a hand on her knee to still her movement.
"Jen, it's going to be fine," Gibbs said. Jenny grinned at the man.
"I'm not nervous, Jethro, I'm ready to get this over with. That way I can finally shower instead of taking baths," Jenny said, "Sure, a bath is great every once in a while to loosen the knots in the muscles, but I prefer to shower." Gibbs smiled at the redhead and shook his head.
"Jen, how about we go to dinner later tonight?" Gibbs asked. Jenny looked over to him, her eyebrows raised.
"You're asking me on a date, Jethro?" she said with a grin. Gibbs nodded. "Sure," she replied. Gibbs grinned and then her name was called.
"You want me to go with you?" he asked. Jenny thought for a second and then nodded. She felt iffy around needles and doctors, especially since what happened. He took her good hand in his as they walked to the back.
The nurse led them to a room and had Jenny step on the scale, took her vitals, and had her change into a gown. She let them know a doctor would be in shortly and she left the room. Jenny wiggled on the bed as she was so anxious to get done and to leave the place. Gibbs watched her and grinned. He thought she was beautiful when she was in a hurry; of course she was beautiful all the time in his eyes. He was glad she accepted his invitation for dinner. He couldn't wait to see her dressed up to go out. He knew that she would go all out. He was brought out of his thoughts when the doctor walked in.
"Hello, Ms. Shepard, I'm Dr. Wright," he announced, "I'm going to be removing your stitches." He looked up from the chart and saw the woman watching him, but the man glaring at him.
The doctor walked next to Jenny and shook her hand. "How has everything been feeling?" he asked while washing his hands.
"Fine, I've never felt better," Jenny said. The doctor nodded and donned gloves.
"Well, I'm going to first check the areas and make sure they are healed enough and remove those stitches. This will require baring the skin around your shoulder and your navel area. Are you okay with that? Or would you rather a female?" he asked.
"Nope, I'm fine with that," she said. He looked to Gibbs as the man was still glaring at him. "Jethro, are you okay with that?" Jenny asked. Gibbs quit glaring at the doctor and looked to Jenny. She had an amused look on her face.
"Fine," he muttered. The doctor turned back to Jenny and had her lay down. He removed a bit of gown from her shoulder wound and began to cut the bandages off. He examined the wound thoroughly and then began to cut each stitch and remove them.
"Well, this looks good and now I'm going to look at your stomach," the doctor said and replaced the gown on her shoulder. He then lifted the gown just enough to get to the bandage on her stomach. He gently removed the tape and gauze. The wound was healed as well and then he removed the stitches swiftly.
"Okay, now I am going to do the ones on your head," he said as he replaced the gown and went to the head of the bed. He removed the bandage from her head. The wound was healed as well as the others. He removed the stitches.
"All done," he said. He gathered his supplies and disposed of the used items in the proper disposal areas. He then took his gloves off and washed his hands. "Okay, call you personal physician if you have any problems and make an appointment for three weeks to make sure things are going well," the doctor said. Jenny nodded. The doctor left the room and Jenny almost leapt off the bed.
"I'm free!" she said with a grin. Gibbs grinned and stepped out while she changed. Jenny followed shortly.
"So, now that you are free of the stitches, what do you want to do?" Gibbs asked.
"Well, it's been a while since I've seen the "children," why don't we pay them a visit?" Jenny suggested, "But first can we get me a ball cap?" Gibbs grinned.
"I think you look beautiful," Gibbs said. Jenny smiled at him.
"I may to you, but others may not see it that way," Jenny said.
"Since when do you care what others think of you?" Gibbs asked. Jenny shook her head with a smile. She looked at Gibbs with those green eyes of hers and he felt enchanted. He leaned in and kissed her deeply. They broke apart due to lack of air and Jenny chuckled.
"Come on, let's go," she said as she tugged him behind her.
The ride was short, most in part of Gibbs driving. Before getting out of the car, Gibbs put something on her head. She took it off and looked at what it was. It was his NCIS cap. She grinned at him and replaced it on her head. They got out and headed into the building.
After their return home, the team went to work. Gibbs returned a few days afterwards, but had taken the day to go with Jenny to get the stitches removed. They rode the elevator up to the bullpen and stepped off. Tony was at his desk working on something, Ziva was hunched over reading a file, and McGee was clacking away at the keys on the keyboard. The couple walked to the opening and Ziva was the one to immediately look up followed by Tony and then McGee.
"Boss, Director, how're things?" Tony said. Ziva rolled her eyes at her partner.
Jenny smiled at them all.
"Well, I got my stitches out today. The doctor says I'm healing well. Also, I missed you guys and wanted to know if you wanted to go to lunch," Jenny said as she flicked her gaze to Gibbs who was watching the others.
Before anyone could answer a loud "JENNY" was sounded through the bullpen. A blur of black and white was seen hugging Jenny tightly.
"Abby, I need air," Jenny gasped. Abby let her go and apologized.
"So, how is everything? Have you had your stitches out yet? Are you doing okay? You need help with anything?" Abby asked question after question. Jenny grinned at the younger woman.
"Abs," Jenny said and Abby hushed, "I'm fine. Yes, I have had my stitches out and we came by to see if everyone wanted to join us for lunch."
Abby bounced up and down in place. "Of course we will, right guys?" Abby said looking to the others who agreed.
"Call Ducky and invite him along too," Jenny said. McGee did and before long they all went to lunch.
Hours later, Jenny and Gibbs were back at Gibbs' place. Lunch had gone well. Jenny had noticed the closeness the team had acquired for her, even to the point of fighting over who would sit beside her. Abby had won of course.
Now, they were getting ready for their night out. Gibbs was already downstairs and ready to go. Jenny was upstairs finishing up her makeup. She had decided on a long and flowing green dress with matching heels. She had a wrap around her head and silver earrings dangling from her ears. She sighed and felt she was ready.
She walked down the steps and stepped into the living room. Gibbs laid his eyes on his date for the evening. His mouth fell open at how absolutely stunning she looked. Jenny chuckled at him
"Trying to catch flies Jethro?" Jenny asked with a grin. Gibbs shut his mouth real quick.
"You look gorgeous Jen," Gibbs said, "Ready to go?" She nodded and they left.
