Jenny's office
Up in her office was Jenny, Jethro and SecNav, they sat around the conference table, Jenny and Jethro sat together and looked nervous while SecNav didn't have a readable facial expression and was sat opposite them.
Secnav said, "I am not happy, I wasn't personally told, but I want to know when it started?"
Jenny said "I only found out when I started as Director that you didn't know but Tom said it is in both of our files, I was going to ring you this afternoon to talk to you about it, and we had a short 6 month relationship when I was 16 and he was 19, he was shipped out and we didn't see each other till Kelly was injured the year before I joined NCIS, I was the nurse dealing with her case, I also looked after her after she was discharged as he got himself blown up and was unconscious for nineteen days,"
Secnav said: "so you had a relationship before you were both NCIS agents?"
Both replied "yes"
He then said "what happened then?
Jethro answered "we were together before I was shipped out as her father was based at the same base, I was although he was army, when I was shipped out, we said if I returned back to the base and was not transferred to another one we would continue the relationship, but we lost touch when I transferred to a different base.
Secnav thought for a few minutes and nodded and said "ok now this time around explain everything briefly"
Jenny replied "we started spending most nights together and I was getting to know Kelly, six months in we moved in together but split our time between both houses, Kelly then asked if she could call me Mom I agreed and when I started working here I said not to at work, we had been together just over three years when we went to Paris the first time, that's when Ducky and Decker found out about our relationship, Ducky spotted it, Will heard us, basically the only thing that was a cover for us was that we were married, after our second time in Paris once we finished the mission we had two weeks free time before we needed to return, Jethro proposed then, we married two days later, at the end of our two weeks, he come back here, I went to Spain, and didn't see each other until I came back here, there were personal reasons why we went to separate postings, and it was nothing to do with him or our marriage, we continued our relationship when we got back, until today only, Cynthia and Tom and his wife Leah, knew as well as Jackson and Kelly and Naomi."
Jethro then said "and Kelly was not meant to be back until the weekend and we would have met her at the airport"
Secnav continued to think for a few minutes then decided to see what Tom would say about this and could they work together so he said "I think we need to speak to Tom in MTAC"
Both agreed and went down there, with this they were put through to speak to Tom once the technicians went out the spoke about their relationship it was then agreed they were fine to continue the relationship, and he would accept this as long as they told him of any changes and they announced they were married, and that she used her married name they all agreed and they went back downstairs smiling, SecNav left and they went to the group of people.
Jenny said "it's all sorted, I'm sure you will want to hear details etc, so if you come to ours after work we can sit and explain it all, Will, Stan, Cassie and Lilly it's my Georgetown house" she then gave everyone else the address and said to be there by six.
They all went back to work and chatted. After work, they went back to the house.
