Fading Memories

Chapter 17th

"Jethro are you alright?" Loreile needed to ask with the excitement of today.

"Bad nightmare. Can you come and stay in my room for the night with sleeping in a chair with putting your legs up on another? I need you here to keep me company Loreile."

"Alright I will stay in my nightgown and robe as with the slippers. Let me grab a few things for in the morning along with the key and my purse. Be there in a little while Jethro." She said with feeling better that he wasn't sick other than the fact he had a bad dream. No doubt about Kelly and Shannon.

It was going to take time for anyone to get used to the idea that both Kelly and Shannon are alive after 34th years. But her husband was right in a way for when it comes to Shannon not bothering to call him saying that she was going to be married again along with adopting a child to make it only worse.

Checking herself in the mirror. She was now ready to head for her husband's room after this past week with his head injury and his memories. Doctor Taft and the other specialist was very pleased with the results to be back to normal once again. Hopefully her husband will be able to get back to work and in the field with Taft to take him off the medical leave.

Sometime later after walking out of the elevator to head on down to his room. Doctor Gilbert had stopped her for a moment. "Is there something wrong Loreile?"

"In a way Doc! Jethro called me about a bad dream after today. I don't know if you heard the news from Taft meeting Gibbs daughter Kelly and his first wife Shannon?" she said with his expression...

"I had found it quite strange Loreile for this to happen after 34 years? Maybe it's some type of lure to get him out into the field and have the Cartel to finally kill him?" Now this was a strange question to be mentioning...

"I really don't know Doctor Gilbert. Excuse me Doc I need to go before he starts to panic once again?" she walked away from him to head for his room.

"Of course!" he watched her walked away. She really needs to be slowing down before she winds up in the hospital herself and with losing baby.

When she had reached her husband's room. He was sitting up in the bed with the TV on with an old John Wayne's flick. She walked in all of a sudden she hungry since her favorite Chinese food place is opened until 1 A.M. in the morning. Right away she asked her silver fox husband on whether he wanted Chinese food.

"I am starved all of a sudden Loreile. I really don't care in what you're going to order. She pulled her out her cell-phone from her purse to bring up the number and dialing...

Meanwhile he was watching her face having to be exhausted while she was talking...Talking to the owner of the restaurant she needed to be sure that he had gotten it right with the items along with her credit card on record and where to come with the order. They knew the usual routine for when it comes to the security officer downstairs.

She sat down after making the call with her husband now relaxed. "Okay what gives?" she came out with the question to put him on guard.

"Kelly and Shannon. Did it seem to you that Kelly was happy to be here and not Shannon? She was really quiet throughout the entire visit."

"Did it ever occur to you after 34 years that she no longer has any feelings for you or love now that she is married to Alex?" she had to get this out into the open.

"It just might be Loreile. But one thing Kelly does love me? I was able to feel that?" he said with shifting position in bed...

"Kelly is probably like she was back then at eight years old?"

"Differently Loreile! Especially when she was with her best friend Maggie always playing in the backyard hiding." he smiled at the memory...

"I can bet that Colonel James Hawkins is differently in love with Kelly with the way he was looking at her? The man is going to protect her no matter what? especially regarding their two little boys and with you now a grandfather." she said with a smirk.

"Grandfather now fits the bill for when it comes to me at age 69 years old." he cried out...

"And a very handsome silver fox agent for NCIS?" SHE REPLIED WITH BENDING OVER TO KISS HIM EVEN WITH HIS FIVE O'CLOCK SHADOW.

"Really Loreile?" he commented.."I will shave tomorrow morning to make you happy. Okay?" he said with a tone that he was more playful and himself for the most part.

"You don't have to do it for me Jethro? It has to be up to you in order to look and feel better inside and out. Understand my darling husband?"

"Yes." he smirked..."Are you tired?"

"Of course I am tired Jethro! You're the one that is feeling bad. Tell me something did you really thinks that things were going to be same after 34th years?" She will respond with looking at her husband's face.

"I guess not Loreile." he replied...

"Fine. I am going to my quarters to rest now Jethro and you're going to be needing to be doing the same." she was saying with coming over to kiss him before leaving for the rest of the night.

"Thank you for coming and listening to me. Hopefully tomorrow I will be feeling better?" he cried out with his wife too close to him with that perfume of hers before grabbing her to catch his wife off guard to give her a very erotic passionate kiss with his hand going under her black blouse to touch her stomach and her one nipple that was hard as a rock...
