AN: I had some time and so this is what came out! It may be a while before I update again due to a busy week ahead. Thank you to those who are sticking with me! You guys give me inspiration!

The next day, Jenny and Gibbs drove the girls to school. Jenny watched the girls as they rode and she hoped that today would be better for them and once they got to NCIS she would call Dr. Hill about Rachel. She watched her girls in the back seat as they stared out the window. She kept thinking about how innocent they were and why did something like this had to happen to them? Finally, she came to the conclusion that her job and her husband's job were the cause of everything bad that had happened to them. From him losing two colleagues to almost losing her and their children, their job was at fault to everything bad in their lives.

"I'm thinking about quitting NCIS," Jenny said as she turned to face her husband.

Gibbs head snapped to look at his wife to see whether or not she was serious and she was. He hesitated in answering her.

"Uh, why Jen?" Gibbs asked as he cast a glance to the back seat and saw that his girls were listening too.

"If we didn't work for the agency then none of this would've happened," Jenny said.

"Jen, I rather not discuss this right now. Let's wait until we dropped the girls off, okay?" he asked.

Jenny looked to her girls who were looking at her in shock as they knew that their parents loved their job.

"Okay," Jenny replied.

Rachel and Nikki looked at one another and shook their heads. They both decided that their parents weren't going to give up their jobs because of one bad thing. They knew that their mother wanted to quit because they were in danger at one point and time. Nothing could be said at the moment due to the fact that they just pulled into the school parking lot.

The girls got out of the car and followed their parents to the front door where they met up with Mrs. Reid. Hugs and kisses were exchanged and Jenny reiterated that Mrs. Reid could call at any time something went wrong. The girls went into the building and the adults went to work.

At NCIS, Gibbs followed Jenny up to her office, both without saying good morning to the children. Ziva looked at Tony who shrugged his shoulders.

"Abby! Let's go," Tony said and the trip headed to the lab to spy on their parents.

They walked into the lab and were met with Abby's normal music. She was at the outer console working with the analysis that Major Mass Spec. has spit out.

"Hey Abs!" Tony said over the music. Abby spun and saw the others standing there. She raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Mommy and Daddy?" Abby assumed. Three heads nodded positively.

"Give me a sec. and I'll pull up the cameras," Abby said. She spun around and tapped the keys to pull up a picture of the Director's office. They watched as the drama unfolded.

Jenny walked into her office with her husband hot on her heels. He shut the door behind them and locked it. He faced his wife. She wore a determined expression on her face.

"Why Jen?" Gibbs asked. Jenny huffed and shifted from one foot to the other.

"I was thinking of how most of the awful things in our lives have happened because of this job! Kate and Paula were killed among other things. I was shot and almost killed and then our children were kidnapped!" Jenny shouted at him.

"I know Jen, but the girls were kidnapped because of me!" Gibbs told her for the first time. When Ziva relayed what happened that night in the cabin she left out the part of how it all tied back to Gibbs.

"What are you talking about?" Jenny asked.

"I was in the Marines and I was given an assignment to do, but the Captain had called me to his tent and then he told me about Shannon and Kelly. I had completely forgotten about the assignment and apparently it went undone. There was a man who was killed right in front of his brother. Later that brother died and was placed to make it look like murder. The sister of those brothers was the one who masterminded Rachel and Nikki's kidnapping to get back at me. It's my fault that the girls are going through this. It's my fault," Gibbs said and he sat down to put his head in his hands.

Jenny stood there in shock at what her husband had just told her. Many thoughts ran through her mind, but she was too overwhelmed to say anything. She nudged him to lean back and he did so. She wrapped her arms around him.

"It's not your fault, Jethro. It's that woman's and Pedro Hernandez's faults. Had Hernandez not killed them she wouldn't have lost her brothers. If she hadn't decided to take revenge on you then our girls would be fine. It is in no way your fault, Jethro Gibbs," Jenny told him.

That was when he broke down. The emotion and pain he had been keeping inside had overflowed and he let it go. She cried with him as she rocked him. Afterwards, Gibbs looked to Jenny.

"I was angry, Jethro. I do love my job, but I love my children more and if quitting means that they will be safe that is what I'll do," Jenny said, "The other kids cannot live with us for the rest of our lives or theirs. They need their freedom too."

"I know, Jen. Why don't we ask the kids? All of them at dinner tonight?" Gibbs asked, "If you quit, I will too. You know I will do anything to keep them safe."

"I know. We'll talk more tonight okay?" Jenny said looking at him. Gibbs nodded.

They shared a hug and a deep kiss. Gibbs left to get to work and Jenny collapsed in her chair as the emotional drainage had worn her out. She let out a breath and hoped that she was doing the right thing.

In the lab, Abby stared at the screen in pure shock as did the others. When Gibbs left the office, Tony, Ziva, and McGee headed back up to the bullpen. Abby just stared at the screen and decided then that they weren't quitting. If it was all it took, she would make sure that they wouldn't quit.

About ten minutes later, Gibbs showed up in the lab for the results that Abby had for the case they were working. She turned to him and gave him the shortest answers that he would demand and turned back to fill out her reports.

Gibbs was taken aback at the Goth's behavior. He then noticed that there was no music playing which meant she was upset about something. He then thought about the looks that the others had been giving him. He put the pieces together and figured that Abby had hacked into the cameras and they all watched the conversation between him and Jenny.

"Abs," Gibbs said. Abby ignored him.

"Abs, nothing has been decided. We are going to talk more tonight at dinner," Gibbs told her.

She still ignored him. This shocked him. Normally if he were to tell her something like that she would turn and tell him how stupid it was to quit and other things like that, but this time she just ignored him. It was almost like the time she thought he forgot about her birthday.

"Abby," Gibbs said in a gruff tone. She stopped typing and he knew she was listening.

"Abby, put yourself into mine and Jenny's shoes. Think about what it would be like if it were your children. What would you do?" Gibbs asked.

Abby finally turned and faced him with a tear stained face. She sighed and looked up to him.

"I don't know Gibbs, but I know that quitting a job you both love isn't the way. It just isn't," Abby replied, "Anyway, like you said, we will talk more when we get home."

She turned back to her console and he just shook his head. He walked to her side and kissed her head and walked out of the lab. They all knew that today was going to be another rough day.

AN: I know that Gibbs and Jenny were OOC, but I felt as if these issues needed to be addressed. I hope you guys liked it! Leave a review, please and thank you!
