The weekend had come finally and as the team's resident forensic psychologist, Jack suggested that everyone take the weekend off of work since the case was still quite taxing on all of them. At least that's what Jack said out loud to everyone, the real reason behind suggesting the team take the weekend off was that she knew that there was something important that was suppose to happen. Just a day or so ago, Jenny had connected with Jack on what Jenny was planning on doing this weekend. While Jenny was putting things in motion in regards to what she was planning on doing, she remembered something from when she was on the other side.

Thank you for taking care of his heart.

Ah. We take care of each other's. You take good care of yours.

Mm-hmm.

After recalling that moment between Ziva and Jack all those years ago, Jenny knew that Jack was the right person to confide in. While everyone packed up for the day and for the weekend in the squad room, Jenny revisited her conversation with Jack earlier in the day. The ladies had ducked over to the opposite of the stairs that led up to Jenny's former office, the one place where so many other private conversations amongst the team had happened over the years.

So what did you want to talk about, Jen?

Okay this is big…

Jenny took a deep, centering and calming breath before she continued.

As you know, Jethro and I have been living together for some time now…

Co-parenting Annie and JJ.

Yes, we've been co-parenting the twins.

Okay, by the way you look, it seems like things have gotten serious between you and Jethro.

They have, plus we have that history of ours.

Yeah, kind of figured there was something in the past with you two after I met Annie and JJ all those years ago.

Well with all of that on the table, I was thinking that it is time to make things between Jethro and I a bit more official… and legal.

With that Jack saw what Jenny was alluding to and a bit of excitement came to Jack.

You're planning on proposing, aren't you?

Jenny nodded to confirm what Jack had just said. After Jack had congratulated Jenny on her impending engagement, Jenny voiced her concerns about her and Gibbs getting married if Gibbs had said yes to Jenny's proposal. Jenny's concern being that while Gibbs would be her first and hopefully her only husband, she would be his fifth wife. Plus Jenny knew as well as the women before her knew quite well, no one ever could really replace Shannon. Jack did her best to reassure Jenny that everything would be okay. Then Jack helped Jenny devise a plan for Jenny to get herself and Gibbs up to Gibbs' cabin in the woods so that Jenny could propose over the weekend.

Once Jenny came back to reality, she realized that she and Gibbs were the last to leave for the day. Jack was standing in the exact same spot on the stairs that Ziva and Tony had met up with her during the early days of Tanner case all those years ago. Jenny saw where Jack was and paused for a moment on her way out of the agency with Gibbs.

"Thank you." Jenny mouthed.

Jack nodded as Gibbs escorted Jenny to the elevator.

"What's going on with them?" Vance asked as he came up behind Jack on the stairs.

"All I can say is hopefully by Monday, your predecessor will have everything she's wanted for a long time now."

Shortly after Jack had spoke, Vance connected the dots.

"I wish Jenny all the luck in the world in that department."

"I do too, Leon, I do too."

"If Gibbs knows what's good for him, he'll say yes." Vance said as he continued on his way out for the night.

"Have a good night, Director."

"You too, Jack."
