Chapter 38
"How are you feeling today Jack?" Jenny asked as she entered the hospital room.
"Much better thank you" he said smiling at his daughter in law. He then looked around for his son but he was nowhere to be seen "Leroy, not with you?" he asked
"No, he got called out to a case" Jenny said as she sat down in the chair by the side of the bed.
"I hope I'm not disrupting your day, I know work is very important to the both of yah" Jack said to feel the silence that had set in.
"Well if there is one thing that everything over the last few years had taught me it is that Family is what matters most" The redhead said grabbing the older Gibbs's hand and giving it a squeeze.
Jack smiled lovingly at the redhead. Sometimes he couldn't believe his son was married to this woman but then like a Gibbs slap reality sets in and he sees how great they are together and the fact they were almost made for each other.
"You wouldn't happen to have a single aunt or mother just like you would yah" Jack joked making Jenny laugh.
"No I don't have any family left, my mother died when I was young and my father died back in 92" Jenny said with a weak smile "Jack can you promise me something?" Jenny asked leaning closer to him on her chair.
"Of course" Jack said with a smile.
"Promise me that you will come to every birthday party, Christmas, Easter, football game and school play, I don't have any family left which means that you will be the only grandparent me and Jethro's children have" she said her hand resting on her swollen stomach were a life growing inside of her.
"I wouldn't miss any of it for the world, you just call I'll be there" Jack said with a smile.
"No I know where Jethro gets it from" Jenny said with a smile.
"What?" Jack asked.
"His attitude of 'you just call I'll be there'" Jenny said putting quote marks around the bit she was quoting.
Meanwhile, at the DiNozzo residence…
"Tony I'm sure I'll be fine now go before your severed head comes crashing into the room from the Gibbs slap you will be getting" Ziva joked to her husband.
"Ok love you" he said kissing his wife quickly the heading to the opposite direction of the front door.
"Tony go to work before you're the one that is in autopsy being cut open by Ducky and Jimmy" Ziva said with her hands on her hips as she followed her husband down the hall. She soon then realised where he was going she stood in the doorway watching as Tony pressed a little kiss to his daughter's cheek.
"Ok I'm going now" he said walking past her with his tie dangling from his neck "Call me if you need me" he said before checking he had his phone and keys before leaving.
Ziva smiled and watched Tony leave the apartment basically flying down the stairs. Ziva then heard her daughter crying from the nursery and made her way there in minutes.
"There, there Tibby its ok Mummy's here" she said lifting the small baby out of her crib and bouncing her up and down and then kissed her forehead.
After leaving the building and doing up his tie Tony made it to the crime scene.
"Nice of you to join us DiNozzo" Gibbs said on his way back to the truck followed by Tim who turned to Tony and pointed to his watch with a smirk.
"It won't happen again boss" Tony said following Gibbs "What do you want me to do, bag and tag, pictures…" Tony began
"Witness statements" Gibbs said handing him a note pad and pen before moving past Tony to greet Ducky.
An hour later they all arrived at NCIS. While Tony and Tim were out chasing a lead he took a moment and picked up his phone to call Jenny.
It only rang once and she answered "Gibbs"
"Jen it's me I wanted to see how things were going with dad" he said
"We just got home, the doctors said everything was fine and gave him a big list of things to change" Jenny said with a smile as Jack past her shaking his head as he read the list the doctor had given him.
"Are you being serious!" Gibbs heard his dad yell and Jenny laugh a little bit.
"Are you coming into work today?" Gibbs asked changing the subject.
"I have a meeting with sec-nav soon, I'll leave soon I just wanted to make sure Jack got settled in ok"
"I'll see you soon then. Love you" Gibbs said with a smile.
"Love you too Jethro I'll stop by your desk on my way in" she said with a smile knowing that the man on the other end of the phone was smiling also.
"Look forward to it" he said before hanging up the phone. Gibbs looked up when he heard the elevator binged. Even though he knew it was impossible he was hoping Jenny would step out.
The elevator doors opened to reveal a very tanned familiar blond. Gibbs gulped, this was not going to be good.
"Jethro it's good to see you" the blond said swishing her hair over her shoulder.
"Hollis what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be on a beach in Hawaii" he said with an icy cold voice.
"I came out of retirement it wasn't for me, just another thing we have in common" she said looking him up and down.
"Uh huh why is the army interested in my case" he asked still confused as to why the hell she was standing in front of him.
"You're dead marine was found a mile away from an army base we believe there may be a link" she said putting a folder on his desk and opening it to a piece of paper with a load of useless information on it.
"Who says I have to cooperate" he challenged the blond pushing away her stupid file.
"Your boss says you have to" Hollis said with a smile.
"We'll see about that" Gibbs said and as if on cue the elevator dinged and Jenny stepped out.
Jenny ignored the blond having already been informed of her arrival by Cynthia minutes before entering the elevator and walked straight past her and to her husband.
"Director Sheppard I believe my director has spoken to you" Hollis said with a smile.
"Yes he has, you will be working under special agent Gibbs is that ok" Gibbs nodded and Hollis raised an eyebrow "The body was only found outside the army base the body being a marine outweighs that" Jenny said and Hollis nodded.
"Director Gibbs you're needed in MTAC" Cynthia called from the top of the stairs.
Jenny turned and nodded before looking back at Jethro "You're dad is ok at home I got him settled showed him were things were, I told him to call you if he needs anything as I'm in MTAC" jenny said and Gibbs nodded both of them ignoring Hollis who looked very confused.
"When does you're meeting end?" Gibbs asked.
"Ugh should only last an hour at the least I'll be in my office for the rest of the day" Jenny said before giving him a smile and walking off.
Gibbs watched as Jenny walked away before turning to Hollis "You can have that desk over there" he said pointing to the spare one separated from Tim's by a small partition.
Hollis then walked over to the desk not looking very happy.
Gibbs just prayed that the investigation would be over soon.
TBC…
You guys surprised by Hollis's arrival? So am I and I wrote it! I guess writing got the best of me and before I knew it there she was.
I'm sorry if this is getting boring but then that's a sign of weakness as a wise man always says.
Review please…
