Hey Guys
sorry this is a bit late, my mom's fathers has been critical in hospital the last few weeks, and now being released for palliative care and not got long left,
so I've been trying to support her, while also dealing with the fact I've been banned from going down to see him before he passes, though that won't stop me for the funeral, but they live two and a half to three hours away.
because of this, it means i may not be updating every two days like planned, so far up to chapter 15 is written and edited ready to post, so will just need to upload, add any notes and post hopefully so as this should take me 10 mins i will hopefully be keeping to this schedule but thought i would warn just incase
Thank you all for reading, Bee-327 and DS2010 for the reviews, and anyone for following/favouriting.

Arriving at the restaurant, they exited the car and walked up to the front entrance hand in hand, Jethro opened the front door and let Jenny go through first,
they then walked up to the maître d who said "good evening and welcome to Lavandou's I am Louis and I will be your maître d this evening how can I help you",
Jethro said "good evening could we have a table for two please",
Louis replied "right this way monsieur and madam" and led them to a table where Jethro pulled out Jenny's chair and let Jenny sit down before pushed it in, then he sat in his chair they held hands over the table.
Louis said "here are your menus can I get you any drinks",
Jenny replied "can I have bourbon neat please",
Jethro said, "I will have the same please" with that Louis went and got their drinks and brought them over to the table.
They both said "thank you",
Louis then said "have you decided what you would like to eat yet",
Jenny replied "yes I'll have steak au poivre with asparagus please",
Jethro said "I will have the same please and can we have a bottle of your finest pinot noir to be brought out with our meals",
Louis replied, "of course monsieur and madam, if you need me call me".
At their table, Jenny and Jethro just had the food delivered when Jenny said "you know last time we ate this six people died",
He laughed and said, "yes but we are not sharing the meal with them".
They finished their meal and wine and got the bill which they argued over who was paying, Jethro insisted he pay as a treat, they then stood up and she kissed him and he deepened the kiss, they broke apart and then they walked out hand in hand. They left there and headed straight to duke's bar to meet everybody.
Tom Morrow was the first to show up and said "Jethro, Jenny good to see you both, you both luck happy",
They both replied "we are very happy",
Jethro added "I'm just happy my wife is home for good and she's not pulling heroic stunts" he smiled and then wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his side,
Jenny laughed said, "I'm just happy I'm home for good and with my husband and our daughter anything else doesn't matter and I can't same the same for you on that one Jethro". She then rested her head on his chest and smiled and said: "Tom we want to keep this a secret for a while could you keep this to yourself".
He replied," of course but you may want to separate yourself before everyone else turns up, how is Kelly doing?"
Jethro replied "she's doing great spending the summer with my father",
He then gives Jenny a kiss and they both separated just before Ducky had turned up,
Ducky said "ah Deputy Director Morrow, it's good to see you but shame about the circumstances good evening Jennifer and Jethro",
Tom replied "it's just Tom tonight Ducky and yes I have its good to see you as well ",
Both Jenny and Jethro smiled and replied together "good evening Ducky".
Just as they finished Abby, McGee and Tony arrived and Tony and McGee said "good evening boss, Director, Ducky and Deputy Director",
While Abby said "Gibbs, Director, Duck man and Deputy Director Morrow",
Tom said "it's just Tom tonight",
Jenny said "it's just Jenny tonight guys" she then turned to Jethro and said, "can you go get the first round in for every please".
He looked at his team who all said "beer please",
Ducky said "scotch please Jethro",
Tom said, "I'll have a scotch to please".
He went and got the drinks and came back, handing the beers to his team and Abby, the scotch to Ducky and Tom and bourbon to Jenny.
Abby said "how did you know what Jenny wanted Gibbs you didn't ask her",
Jethro replied "we drink the same poison Abby",
Jenny glared at him and said "hey I drink other stuff as well",
Ducky said "Jennifer my dear your both addicted to bourbon nearly as much as coffee",
Tom said "I see you got her hooked on some of your bad habits, Jethro",
Tony said "Jenny how can you drink that paint stripper",
Both replied "it's an acquired taste Tony",
Jenny then continued "plus you get used to after a while especially when you play shots with it, all though Will and Stan never did"
Jethro laughed and said "that because they couldn't hack it, any way to Kate, an amazing woman and agent"
They all replied "to Kate" and continued telling stories of their time with Kate.
