They both got comfortable on the sofa then Jenny said "Jethro what do you want to drink; coffee or bourbon",
Jethro replied "coffee please as I want to be sober for this conversation",
Jenny went and made some coffee and sat down and handed Jethro his.
Jethro said "thanks, Jen",
Jenny said "there's a song I want you to listen to I'll play the song first, and then I'll try and explain if that's ok"
Jethro said "of course Jen we do this how you want to"
With this, she went and put the CD with the song the heart won't lie by Reba McEntire and Vince Gill, in the stereo and went and sat down by him while the song played,
"Looking back over the years
Of All the things I've always meant to say
But words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
the heart won't lie
you can live your alibi
who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
the heart won't lie
Long after tonight
will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
after the scattered ashes fly
through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?
You try to live your life from day to day
but seeing you across the room tonight
just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
the heart won't lie
you can live your alibi
who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
the heart won't lie"
Once it was finished, she turned the Stereo off and turned to face Jethro,
Jenny said "I better start from the beginning you know when I was twenty-four my dad died well I had been back home from college for a few days my dad gave me some money to go shopping for a new dress, I went and brought one with some friends, when I come back I showed Naomi, my housekeeper, she told me to go and show my dad, I went to the study where he was and knocked I had no answer so I tried louder when I didn't get an answer I shouted 'daddy I'm coming in'. I then walked in to find my dad slumped against the desk with a gunshot wound to the head, I broke down and Naomi dealt with it, they ruled it suicide and said it was because he took this bribe they were investigating him for, I don't believe it and I know it was René Benoit his code name is La Grenouille. I decided to become an NCIS agent but with the navy and stuff it would be a few years later as I had to finish my contracted service, I didn't plan that I would ever see you again or meet Kelly, but I knew I had to join so I could go up the ranks till I could get to a place where I could order an investigation into his death so I could get prove he was innocent. I had a five-point plan which didn't include falling in love or becoming a wife and mother and just as we were about to come back I already been offered the post in Rota and I was scared that we wouldn't work when back stateside and you both would hate me or you both would get hurt so I left thinking my heart wouldn't be broken but I broke mine and yours."
By the time she finished she had tears streaming down her face, Jethro said "C'mere",
She shook her head so he just pulled her into a hug and whispered: "It's going to be an ok baby that's all in the past I forgive you, remember forever and always."
Jenny managed to whisper back "forever and always".
When Jenny calmed down a bit she turned to face Jethro and said: "how come you didn't ask for a divorce?"
Jethro replied "I love you, Jen, I always have and always will, and I knew you would come back to me and you were always my wife no matter where you where so why would I divorce my beautiful wife for being scared and when she had a job to do", he then gently kissed her.
Jenny replied with a smile "I am really sorry for leaving it is one of my biggest regrets",
Jethro replied, "don't worry about it baby and with the frog, I will help you any way I can".
They stayed cuddling up on the sofa looking at their wedding album Jethro brought over, and then they talked about what they had been doing the last six years and Kelly, and made plans to work on being a couple and decided they were going to continue their relationship and keep it secret for now but tell Kelly and Jackson.
Jethro laid back and pulled her on top of him and they laid cuddled up and fell asleep, this was how Naomi found them when she came into work in the morning, she came into the living room and went to wake Jenny up, when Jethro grabbed her wrist and went "shh she's had a rough night what time is she leaving for work",
Naomi said "07:45 senor"
Jethro said "let's wake her at 07:00",
Naomi replied "ok ill get started with work then senor" and with that, she went to work.
At 07:00 Naomi come in to let Jethro it was time to wake Jenny up, so he smiled then gently rubbed
Jenny's back while whispering "Jen it's time to wake up baby",
Jenny just moaned and tried to snuggle deeper into her cuddle with Jethro,
He just smirked knowing she would be annoyed he let her sleep in so late and said "Jen its 07:00 we have to leave for work in 45 minutes",
She groaned and said, "why did you wake me up so late?"
Jethro replied, "You had a rough night and was drained from our talk; I just wanted to leave you a bit longer baby".
Jenny just smiled and said "thank you, honey, I'm going to get ready help yourself to coffee"
He kissed her forehead and said "go, baby, I'll be right here", and with that, she went to get ready for work.
