One night after putting the quads to bed for the night, Tali and Jaxson were relaxing together in the living as they watched Lucifer on Netflix. They both had their phones on silent and relatively close to them. At one point, Tali's phone lit up when a text message came through.
Just wanted to let you know that Jenny and Jethro are engaged. They apparently proposed to each other last weekend at Jethro's cabin.
"Who text you?" Jaxson asked.
"It's mom."
"And what did she have to say?"
"She was just sharing that Jenny and Jethro got engaged last weekend at the cabin."
"Congrats to them."
"I know, it took them long enough."
"Yeah…"
Tali could see where Jaxson's mind was going and she opted to head it off at the pass.
"This would be Jethro's fifth and Jen's first…" Tali said.
"Huh?"
"I could read it on your face, babe; you were trying to figure out Jen and Jethro's track record in the marriage department."
After that, the duo continued to watch Lucifer after Tali responded to Ziva.
"So I guess with the engagement this means we'll have to go to DC for the wedding." Jaxson said.
"Duh…they are family after all."
"I know they are."
"They'll likely have a bachelor party and a bachelorette party of some sort, which you and I will have to go to. So we'll have to leave the kids with your parents."
"Yes, I was going to tell mom and dad about that once we know when the parties are."
In the moment that followed, Ziva had sent another text to her daughter.
We are going to have a small get together for Jenny. It would just be those of us that are married welcoming her to the club so to speak.
Jaxson saw Tali roll her eyes a bit, but opted not to say anything…not just yet.
Okay so that basically means Jack, Abby and Ellie can't go…which sucks.
Well they're not married, Tals.
I know that, Ima.
"What's wrong?" Jaxson asked.
"Mom just said that they are going to have a small get together for Jen."
"Okay what's wrong with that?"
"This get together would be excluding some people."
"Who is excluded and why?"
"Jack, Abby and Ellie…"
"Okay…?" Jaxson questioned.
"They're excluded cause they don't have they don't have these." Tali said as she held up her left hand.
"Oh."
"It just annoys me that its only those of us that are married. Especially from what I've seen; Nick and Ellie are pretty close to taking a trip down the aisle. Abby is just a mystery of her own…"
Tali paused before she went on and Jaxson had a pretty good idea as to why Tali had stopped talking. It had to do with Jack and her past. Tali's heart went out to Jack whenever she thought of what happened to Jack.
"Maybe you should suggest that it should be changed so that they're included." Jaxson said.
"I doubt that Mom will go for it and Abby isn't going to fly out to DC again after just being here."
"Then tell your mother that Jack and Ellie should be included to whether or not they have what the rest of you do. Besides technically speaking, Jenny only has half of the requirements for the wives' club."
"I'll see how that goes."
Tali sent a message back to Ziva before she and Jaxson kept watching Lucifer.
