A/N: I am sooooo sorry for the long delay in updating this chapter, I had midterms last week, and I had writers block as well, terrible combination. Anyways, thanks TomorrowNeverCame for letting me bounce ideas off of her and asking me questions to get my brain moving, THANKS!!!!
Hopefully this will cheer you up somewhat, I have started two other fics, a chapter is written for each one, but I won't update them until I get a few more chapters written for each one, that way you won't have to wait forever between updates like you do in this one, and sorry for that once again. They are both going to be JIBBS fics, so hope that makes you happy

Last Chapter:
"Did I what Mark?! Huh?! Loose my child! Is that what you're asking?!" she yelled letting anger take over rather than pain. "If that's it, then yes Mark! My little girl didn't even get a chance, so you can see why I'm hesitant on wanting to have kids; I cannot go through that again!!!" She said a little quieter before snapping her phone shut and turning it off, thanking god that she took the phone into the bathroom so Gibbs wouldn't hear her. Little did she know, he could hear every word.
Current Chapter:
Gibbs couldn't believe what he was hearing. He knew something was bothering her, had been for a while, but he only started to really notice it a few days ago in her office. Now he knew why she hadn't wanted to tell him, he felt terrible for trying to push her into telling him.
He would never want to relieve Kelly's death, let alone tell anyone about it that didn't need to know or ask. Yet that was exactly what he was demanding of her.
At the same time though, he would be lying if he didn't say he felt betrayed somewhat. Sure, they hadn't been an item since Paris, but he still loved her…
'Don't!' he scolded himself, 'Don't think about that, she's getting married in a few months, let her go!' But, no matter how hard he tried, or would try he knew he wouldn't be able to stop feeling for her. He could however, try to think about her less.
Not wanting Jenny to catch him eavesdropping on a private conversation, Gibbs silently walked back into the bedroom, and finished making the bed before walking out into the kitchen to try and find something they could eat.
He couldn't get the image of a pregnant Jenny from his mind, when they were in Serbia, he had often thought about what it would be like to start a family with Jenny, but now, knowing some guy had gotten her pregnant and almost started a family with her, made the images that much harder to deal with, and that much more visual.
He was positive she had gotten pregnant after Paris, not only because of the way she acted when kids were in the picture, but she had said a while back, which didn't mean nine years ago.
He couldn't believe she had moved on so quick, well it wasn't really quick, six years is a long time, but still!
Of course, he couldn't really say anything without being hypocritical, he had gotten married, yes, he was engaged before the mission, but he had called it off a week before Jenny had left him. He was going to purpose to Jenny, but before he had gotten the opportunity she had left, leaving Gibbs to go back and apologize to Stephanie and take her back.
That was probably the reason Stephanie was always so territorial and angry when she was around Jenny, she never had proof, but she was smart and knew how to connect dots.
He was mulling over everything, when he heard the bedroom door close. Collecting himself, and putting on his 'Gibbs' mask he turned around and what he saw almost made him return to Jethro mode.
Jenny's eyes were watery, and her face was slightly blotchy, but not much, just enough to know she had shed a few tears. Knowing he shouldn't, but unable to stop himself he started to walk towards her.
He saw her head bow and her shoulders heave slightly.
"Jen…Jen, is everything alright?" He knew it wasn't, but he also didn't want her to know he knew what she was talking to Mark about, at the same time though, he wanted her to tell him about her conversation.
"Yes, everything's fine, I was just telling Mark about…something…" she drifted off realizing how close she came to revealing her secret to him.
"Ah, anything important?" He asked shooting for nonchalant as he turned around and started making sandwiches for the two of them.
"No, nothing important, just a misunderstanding, that's all." She said when he turned back around.
He indicated to her eye that she knew was twitching and walked into the bedroom to gather their thing they would need for the water park.
Jenny knew he knew she was lying, but was relieved when he didn't push her to tell him the truth.
A minute later, Jenny was eating her sandwich when Gibbs came out holding their pre-packed bags for the water park.
"You ready to go get Tony and Ziva?" He asked, knowing not to push her now. He knew how much she loved water parks, and he didn't want to ruin her day and make it any worse than it already was. The least he could do was let her have some fun.
"Yeah, just let me grab my shoes and the keycard." She said while grabbing the items. She quickly put her flip flops on and walked to the door where her purse was. "Okay, I'm ready, let's go!" She said with excitement at going to the water park.
Gibbs couldn't help the smile that crossed his face at her excitement as he followed her out of the room and towards Tony and Ziva's.
The four of them, after waiting for Tony to pack his bag, not having done it the night before, left for Water Country USA fifteen minutes later.
UNDERCOVER_WATER_PARK____________UNDERCOVER_WATER_PARK
After four hours at the water park they had ridden all of the rides they could that had reasonable lines. Jenny, having protested adamantly about leaving the park just yet, asked if anyone wanted to go to something they hadn't been yet.
Ziva had jumped at the question and said she wanted to go to the wave pool, which is why they were currently there, Tony and Ziva in the pool, while Jenny and Gibbs were seated in the reclining lawn chairs around the pool.
Jenny was exhausted, both emotionally and physically. Damn desk job, making her out of shape, but more than physically drained she was emotionally drained, well technically, her emotions were so heightened, that they were making her exhausted.
She hadn't even ridden that many rides with Gibbs, but seeing him soaked and his hair plastered to his face after coming up from the water after going under with the rides she had ridden with him was enough to arose anyone, well maybe not anyone, but certainly her.
That however, she could deal with, what she couldn't handle was that plus all of the physical contact she was having with Gibbs when they were in line or walking to a ride, once they were on them, she was too focused on the thrill of the ride than him behind her, though just barely.
They had to play the loving couple, and playing the loving couple meant public displays of affection. They knew their suspect was at the park, they had seen her at the first ride they had gone to.
She knew it was possible they could have already been targeted, but she also knew she may have been observing them, seeing if she should or shouldn't go through with them. That meant that they couldn't just ignore the fact they were supposed to display their affection for one another.
At first, Jenny didn't even notice Myra was behind them in line until she felt Gibbs' arms wrap around her torso and pull her against him.
She stopped breathing and held her breath as she felt him kiss her neck, so overwhelmed with the feeling of him kissing her neck, she didn't think about anything, instead she let her head fall back onto his shoulder with a soft moan giving him better access.
She felt Gibbs stop a minute and was brought back to reality. Mortified her eyes snapped open and she started to pull away, but his arms tightened around her bringing her closer and firmer against his torso.
"Jen, Myra Witling's here, a couple people back." He whispered in her ear.
When she felt him pull he firmer against him she couldn't explain the feeling, to increase the effect he was having on her though, he started talking into her ear and his breath caressed her neck she couldn't resist closing her eyes and biting back the groan of pleasure.
'You're engaged, he's undercover doing what he's supposed to, don't let it affect you so much Jennifer!' She scolded, and felt guilty a second about Mark, but when he started talking again all guilt was washed from her thought process. 'I don't care if he's just acting, it feels damn good!' She told her inner self as she forced herself to listen.
"Ziva and Tony?" She asked back enjoying the feeling of him behind her; they still fit so well together…
"They know, their acting the loving couple, but there's still quite a line in front of us, so we are either going to have to continuing like this, or go towards another ride, your choice." He said, hoping she wanted to stay, even if she was getting married in a few months, he was going to enjoy what time he had with her till another man had the chance to hold her as he was.
"We can stay; she might get suspicious if we leave; besides I really want to ride this ride!" She said leaning against him a bit more playing the role as his loving wife.
"Okay, let me tell the other two." He said as he released her and turned around to fill Tony and Ziva in.
Jenny couldn't believe how much she missed his embrace, but she didn't have to dwell long, because a second later he was pulling her towards him again. Immediately she relaxed into his hold and leaned against him.
"So Mrs. Johnson excited?" Gibbs asked and she let a soft chuckle out at his tone.
"Oh very much so Mr. Johnson, are the kids?" She asked back and Gibbs froze remembering the conversation he'd overheard that morning.
"Jethro, is everything alright?" Jenny worriedly asked when she felt him stiffen slightly.
"Yea, just remembering something I heard." He said and it was his turn to feel her stiffen.
"Jen?" He asked hoping she hadn't made the connection.
"What did you overhear?" She asked, her voice showing she was on guard.
Gibbs thought fast as he felt her pulling away slightly so she could turn around and face him.
"Just something SecNav said about Myra…"
"Which was?" she asked thinking he was lying.
"That once she targets someone, she takes them within too days." He said looking into her eyes willing her to believe the lie and not ask questions. However, he saw she had the look on her face that said she didn't believe him and she wasn't letting go.
He sighed and put one hand on her hip, the other on her face. "Later." was all he said before leaning in to kiss her deeply. At first he felt her start to push him away, but it was only momentary, he soon felt both her arms encircle his neck and pull him closer.
Knowing there were children around them, he pulled back before he got too carried away. When he pulled back the first thing he noticed was her eyes were still closed, second was her arms still around his neck. Of course a second later and her eyes opened, but her arms didn't release there hold.
Jenny tried to hold off the emotions coursing through her as he kissed her, but the fight was futile, she gave in and kissed him back. A while later she felt him pull back, but she kept her eyes closed a moment to regain her composer.
She opened her eyes and starred straight into his eyes, where were masked, but he was smiling. "Later." She told him raising her eyebrow to try and challenge it, when he didn't she turned around just in time to start walking forward.
Through out the day, there were multiple interactions like the first, a few more kisses, and constant contact between her and Gibbs, and Ziva and Tony.
Ziva and Tony had been watching Jenny and Gibbs' interactions between each other the whole day. They knew Myra was there, so they themselves were displaying affection, but the way that Jenny and Gibbs interacted was so much different from them.
It was either strained or second nature to their actions.
Currently Tony was trying to dunk Ziva under the water in the wave pool…trying being the operative word. Ziva was currently the one winning. After successfully dunking Tony ten times, Ziva stopped and held up her hand when Tony came near her.
Tony watched as a smirk crossed Ziva's face as she looked at their boss and boss' boss. He watched as she turned towards him and approach, thinking she was going to dunk him again, he started to step back. Ziva sensing it lunged forward in to his outstretched yielding arms to stop him from getting away.
He stopped and watched as she leaned in towards him. A minute later and he was hearing her scheming voice. After hearing her plan a grin spread across Tony's face as they looked at each other and put their plan into action.
After hours of holding her emotions in check, Jenny was exhausted. She was perfectly content to lie back and relax, while letting her mind wander.
She was drifting off to sleep when she felt a sudden surge of water flow onto her stomach. Snapping her eyes open and squealing from the cold of the water, cold compared to the sun on her skin, she saw Ziva turning around and running towards the wave pool with Tony right behind her.
Jenny jumped out of her chair and started chasing the perpetrator. As soon as she got into the water and close to them they started splashing her viciously, she not wanting them to beat her, joined in on the splashing war, trying to splash and dodge the water at the same time.
After a few moments Jenny was warn out, as well as Tony and Ziva it looked like, she looked at her self and knew she was soaked. Then an idea popped into her head. She quickly went under the water and came up again pulling her hair back out of her face.
She looked at Ziva and Tony who looked as if they were waiting for her to do something, but when she grinned and put her finger to her mouth in a shushing motion and started to walk back out of the pool, they both looked at her with wonder, dread admiration, and remorse on their faces. They couldn't believe what she was about to do.
She either had a lot of guts, or was just plain stupid!
Gibbs started when he heard Jenny squeal and watched as she chased Ziva and Tony into the pool and joined in the splashing war.
Gibbs was daydreaming about Jenny and a little girl playing in a pool, jenny splashing the little girl as she squealed and giggled, Jenny laughing all the while, making sure not to hurt the little girl.
He was so deep into his day dream that he didn't notice Jenny standing right above him.
Jenny's grin grew as Gibbs stayed where he was and didn't make a move to notify he knew what she was planning, of course he was wearing sunglasses, as she was when Ziva attacked her, so she couldn't quite be sure.
When she was standing right above him and he didn't look towards her, she thought it was safe.
She grabbed her hair and rung it over his torso, shaking it a bit to get his legs as well. When she saw him jump and snap his head in her direction, she ran!
When Gibbs felt water pour onto his chest and legs he jumped and turned his head sharply to see Jenny's eyes wind open and a grin larger than he had seen in years across her face.
He watched as she bolted away from the scene and towards the pool, he jumped up and quickly ran after her.
When he was knee length in the water he reached out and grabbed her around her waist pulling her to him and spinning around as he went further into the water.
Jenny heard him behind her as she ran into the water and knew he was going to get her, still though she tried to get away. She felt two arms circle their way around her waist and pull her into a firm body, twirling her as they got waist deep into the water.
When she felt his arms encircle her she could help the squeal at being caught escape and the giggles that erupted as they turned in the water. She was still trying to escape when he stopped spinning and turned her towards him.
Her laughs died off, her smile slowly fading, as she realized how close she was, his eyes drew her in and transfixed her to the spot.
A second later Gibbs and Jenny were being pelted by water. They looked at each other and grinned. Suddenly they turned on Tony and Ziva with frightening glares on their faces. The water stopped for a minute and they held up their hands in defeat as they started to back away.
"Mom…Dad…we were just messing around…" Tony started, scared by the twin looks they were receiving; it was as if their bosses were stalking them as if they were prey.
"Yes, mom, dad, it will not happen again…" Ziva reiterated.
Jenny and Gibbs shared a look before turning back to 'their kids'.
"What's the matter Levana, Larry, now that your father's here, scarred you're going to loose?" Jenny taunted. That made the two agents stop and stand there ground.
"Very well." "Bring it on!" Ziva and Tony said as they started splashing them again.
Jenny and Gibbs quickly splashed back, sending more water towards the younger two, than they were sending at them.
All four of them were laughing so hard, they didn't notice the lifeguard standing there.
"Excuse me!" he said for the forth time. They looked at him and indicated for him to continue. "There is no splashing, at least not this much!" He said scolding the adults. All of them were trying their hardest to keep the smiles off their faces as the lifeguard looked at them all in turn.
"Wont happen again." Gibbs said turning his back on the lifeguard and back to the other three. They looked at each other and burst out laughing. A lifeguard having to yell at four adults at an amusement park for something children would do, priceless!
They swam for a few minutes before Gibbs excused himself and went back to his reclining lawn chair.
"I cannot believe you did that mom!" Tony said when Gibbs was out of earshot. Jenny looked at him with an innocent 'what' look before going back to swimming. A few minutes later she, herself excused herself and went to sit back with Gibbs.
Gibbs couldn't believe how happy he was hearing Jenny calling him father the way a wife would to their children, and Tony and Ziva calling them mom and dad. He knew he had to get away before he did anything stupid so he excused himself and went back to his chair. From there he observed Jenny swimming and how Tony and Ziva were acting towards one another. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought they were a happy family, not a bunch of agents, and a director, playing the part, they were too comfortable with each other for that.
A few minutes later Gibbs saw Jenny swim over to Ziva and Tony and say something to them before getting out of the wave pool and walking towards him. He took this moment to look at her. He started at her feet, which were incredibly shapely, but once he reached her stomach, his eyes were glued to the two angry looking scars from when she'd gotten shot.
Knowing she must still be in some pain by looking at the redness around the marks a wave of guilt ran over him. He'd grabbed her around her waist and had probably hurt her, then again, he thought, she didn't cringe at all. That made him feel a little better, but his eyes magnetically moved to the scar marking her left shoulder. He still blamed himself somewhat for what had happened to her, if he was there, then there was a possibility that she wouldn't have been injured in the first place, but…
"Stop starring at them!" Jenny said looking into his eyes.
"Starring at what?" he played dumb and got his trademark glare in return.
"You know damn well what! They still hurt yes, but not as bad as a few days ago, I can deal with the pain, but you starring at them and bringing attention to them, makes me uneasy, so stop starring at them!" She said matter of factly sitting down next to him.
She hated it when she caught him starring at the three marks on her skin that would be a constant reminder or her stupidity.
Gibbs watched her as her attention was brought back to Tony and Ziva in the pool. He watched as a genuine smile crossed her face at watching the two younger agents.
Jenny feeling Gibbs watching her turns her head with a slight color to her face, uneasy with the way he was looking at her.
"What?" She asked, her eyebrow rising.
"Nothing" He said before facing forward and reclining putting his sunglasses back on.
"Uh huh" she said doing the same.
A comfortable silence engulfed them as they enjoyed just being able to relax. It wasn't until hours later that they went back to the plantation. They were still in good spirits as they went to their respective rooms, Jenny exceeding so. She had had one of the best days she had in a very long time and couldn't wipe the smile from her face; little did she know everything was going to take a turn for the worse.
