Chapter 14
Gibbs hated weekends like this; weekends when he and his team were on call but Jenny was off, he just wanted to go and spend time with her and Liam and they wanted to spend time with him, although Jenny had thought it was nice to have a couple of hours for herself and Liam but she didn't want to hurt Gibbs's feelings by saying so.
Tony watched his boss as he walked into the bullpen, ever since seeing him and Jenny and the little boy at the restaurant three weeks ago, he tried to see if his mood was changing as a result of the redhead. "So boss, have a nice evening?" he asked leaning against his chair.
Ziva watched the Italian and knew he had been baiting Gibbs for the past three weeks but wasn't sure why or what about. Tony had figured that as their boss had left early yesterday evening; he probably had spent it with the redhead and the little boy.
Gibbs didn't reply, he knew the younger man was baiting him but just like Ziva; he had no clue why, so he just made his way over to his desk and sat down still aware of the younger man's eyes on him "You going to watch me work all day DiNozzo or are you going to actually do some work?"
"Sorry boss" the senior field agent mumbled before working on one of his case files.
As the morning began to fade into the afternoon the MCRT began to feel restless. For once they had all finished their case reports, even Tony.
Tim was typing away, upgrading his computer. Ziva was sifting through her emails meanwhile; Tony was flipping through his latest copy of GSM magazine while secretly watching Ziva over the top of it.
Gibbs watched the younger agent, maybe Jenny was right, maybe Tony did like Ziva a lot; I mean if he'd rather look at her than the pictures of half-naked women.
Jenny, even the name brought a slight smile to his face, she had enchanted him from the moment she spoken to him at new year's, he clicked with her like he hadn't with anyone since Shannon, and Liam was just a great kids that he had a lot in common with and cared a lot about, he cared a lot about both of them and he was most definitely falling in love with them but, he wasn't ready to tell them that.
His mobile began to ring, all three other team mates watched as Gibbs picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID. He got up with the phone still ringing and walked in the direction of the back of the stair well.
"Hey Jen, what's up?" he asked her name bringing a smile to his face but the smile dropped when he heard her frantic voice.
"Liam fell out of a tree I told him not to climb it but he wouldn't listen and now he's hurt!" she began to ramble but Gibbs cut her off in an attempt to calm her down.
"Take a deep breath, he's going to be ok…where's Liam now?" he asked using the calmest, most gentile voice he could muster.
"He's being put into the ambulance" she almost sobbed as she looked over to Liam who was laying still on the gurney.
"What hospital is he being taken too?" Gibbs asked still trying to remain calm as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Bethesda" Jenny replied calmly.
"Ok I'm going to meet you there" he stated.
"Oh Jethro thank you" she said sounding much more relieved knowing that he would be coming for support.
"He's going to be ok Jen, I'll see you soon" Gibbs said as he made his way back to the bullpen.
"OK bye" Jenny put the phone down before getting into the back of the ambulance and sitting next to a pale looking Liam "Everything is going to be ok baby" she said pushing some of his hair out of his face as they made their way to Bethesda.
"Everything ok boss?" Tony asked as Gibbs walked into the bullpen with a worried expression on his face something which he didn't look often.
"Ugh, yeah, you guys go home, we won't get a case" Gibbs mumbled grabbing his badge and gun, he felt like he was on autopilot, he had no idea how badly hurt the little boy was all he knew was that both Liam and Jenny were going to need his support.
"You sure boss?" Tony pushed; worried something might be wrong with Jenny or the little boy he'd seen them with. Tim and Ziva had already left but he's stayed.
"Did I stutter DiNozzo? Now go before I change my mind" Gibbs said pointing to the elevator.
"If you do need anything boss, just call" Tony said making the older man's lips twitch up for a moment before the Italian walked away.
Moments later Gibbs rushed out of NCIS and hopped in his car when his phone went off again "Gibbs" he answered not bothering to look at the ID, he just hoped it wasn't a case.
"They won't tell me anything, they've taken him for scans and they won't even tell me what they think could be wrong with him or let alone let me come with him. I mean I'm his mother for God's sake" Jenny moaned down the phone as she paced in the waiting room in frustration.
"I'm sure they'll tell you as soon as they find out anything" Gibbs reassured her.
"I know but I just feel so helpless" Jenny said finally sitting down on a hard plastic chair.
"Look Jen I'm leaving work now I'll be there as soon as I can" he said starting the car.
"Ok, when you get here come to the waiting room on the third floor" she sighed.
"I'll be there soon bye Jen" Gibbs said before putting the phone down and driving out of the car park before making his way to the hospital.
Twenty minutes later Jenny was still sitting in the waiting room, her finger tapping on the edge of the plastic chair as she waited for both news on Liam and Gibbs' arrival.
She looked up when the entrance doors opened and smiled, she would've noticed the silver hair and blue eyes anywhere. Jenny stood up as he walked over to her "Any news?" Gibbs asked his eyes and voice full of concern making Jenny's heart swell.
"No" she shook her head wrapping an arm around him and hugging him resting her head on his chest.
"What happened?" Gibbs asked after a moment.
Jenny looked up at him with a sigh "We were at home and he wanted to play in the garden so I was sitting at the bench reading a book when he asked if he could climb the big tree at the back of the garden and before I could tell him no he was already half way up and then as soon as I told him to come down he missed his footing and fell, he was all pale and he was laying in an awkward position, it's all my fault, what if he's terribly hurt?" Jenny said closing her eyes for a moment to take control of her emotions.
"It wasn't your fault, he's just stubborn" Gibbs pressed a kiss to her hair "I'm sure he'll just have a couple of bruises; he'll be fine" he sounded more like he was trying to convince himself as well as Jenny.
"I hope so" the redhead mumbled against his chest before they went to go a sit down.
"Family of Liam Shepard" a doctor called as he came through the emergency doors.
"We're his parents" Jenny said taking Gibbs's hand, giving it a squeeze as she dragged him over to the doctor.
"Good news is that he only has a broken arm, no internal injuries, bad news he won't be climbing trees for a while" the doctor gave them a smile.
Jenny put a hand on her chest to stop her heart from beating as fast as she felt relief wash over her "Can we see him?" she asked.
"Of course, we want to keep him here for a couple of hours then you can take him home" the doctor instructed before giving them the number of the room.
Moments later Gibbs and Jenny walked into a hospital room, Liam sat on the bed propped up against the pillow with his left arm in a dark blue cast. Jenny walked straight over to her son and pulled him into a hug making sure she didn't touch his arm too much. "How do you feel?" she asked pushing Liam's dark hair out of his eyes and pressing a kiss to his temple.
"My arm hurt really bad for a while but the doctors gave me some medicine and wrapped it up and it feels much better, just a little itchy" the boy said hugging his mother back with one arm.
"Whatever you do don't try and scratch it with a pencil, when I broke my arm when I was twelve I got a pencil stuck in it for weeks" Gibbs chuckled from his place by the door.
"Hi Gibbs" Liam beamed "Do you like the blue?" he asked showing him his arm in a blue cast.
"It's great buddy and you wanna know what else I think?" he asked approaching the bed.
"What?" Liam asked.
"I think your one brave little boy" Gibbs gave him a smile.
"So when can I got home?" Liam asked making both Jenny and Gibbs smile, Jenny pulled Liam closer and kissed the top of his head. "What the jelly is gross" he said holding up the wobbly green goo with his free hand.
Hours later after stopping at the local Pizza place Gibbs dropped Liam and Jenny off "You can stay if you want?" Jenny asked before she got out.
"Yeah?" Gibbs asked.
Jenny nodded "It's late, you should stay" she said giving him a smile.
"Ok" Gibbs nodded before getting out the car himself and walking with her to the front door where Liam was already eagerly waiting for them.
"Why don't you pick out the pyjamas you want to wear and I'll be up in a minute to help you" Jenny suggested putting her bag and keys on the entrance table.
Liam nodded before running off to his room leaving Jenny and Gibbs alone. "I'll go start the coffee" he suggested with a smile.
Jenny gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and a smile before going to her son's room and he went to the kitchen.
An hour later Jenny walked into the lounge to find Gibbs sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, she came up behind him and put her arms on his shoulders, Gibbs leaned back and dropped his hands from the paper before covering hers. "He asleep?" Gibbs asked.
"Yeah, it took him a while to get comfy but I'm pretty sure the medicine that the doctors gave him to take made him drowsy" Jenny commented "Can I say once again how grateful I am that you came" she said pressing a kiss to his cheek.
"All you have to do is ask" he said giving her a smile.
