In the Bullpen
Jethro, Jenny, The team and Abby and Ducky, as well as Will, Cassie, Paula and Stan, were all talking after they came back from lunch

Jenny said "hey Paula, you been keeping up with your hand to hand training"

Paula said "of course, I can take you down"

Jenny smirked and said "confident much, but can you take Ziva down"

Paula said "of course and I'll prove it"

With this, they all headed down to the gym; once Paula and Ziva had changed they started sparing after a few minutes Paula got Ziva down,

Paula said "see told you"

Jenny and Ziva laughed and both said "we trained her too well"

Paula said, "It helps that you two are two of the best."

Tony said "so I have you both to blame for my broken nose both times"

Paula said "no you have them to blame for the second time, the first time was a frying pan and you deserved it both times"

Tony said "can't argue with that as to be fair I did"

Everyone laughed and went back to the bullpen, where Paula and Ziva meet them once they showered and changed

Jenny said "Hey Stan, will you tell us who your wife is yet"

Stan said "yeh red she's on her way we both agreed to tell everyone"

Just then the elevator doors opened and Lilly came out Stan walked up to her and kissed her passionately,

Jenny spat out her coffee and said "wait, you too are married"

Lilly said "yes sorry Jenny that I didn't tell you but do you remember when you were in FLETC and I was raving about the fit guy I was treating, that was Stan we got married twelve weeks later,

Jenny burst out in laughter and said "I always thought you two would be good together, every time I tried to set you up, either you had a boyfriend or he had a girlfriend,"

Stan said "we would both laugh about that as when she came to see me one day at work, she bumped into you and pretending she was visiting you, we then figured it out it was you"

Jenny said "I did think it was suspicious, as we hadn't planned to meet up"

Lilly said "Jenny how do you think our C/O is going to take it me asking for time off and not relisting"

Jenny said "not good and you're not relisting why"

Lilly said "well I can't especially since I won't be able to be deployed for the next year"

Jenny said "for the next year, the only reason you can't is if" she then stopped in shock and then smiled and said "your pregnant aren't you"

Lilly smirked and said "took your time, I expected you to figure it out yesterday what we've me not drinking"

Jenny laughed and said "congratulations and I thought you had work in the morning and she is defiantly going to hate it when you tell her, tell her I said no"

Lilly said "she won't ask you will she? And you won't go back to the hospital then?"

Jenny said "yes she will and no especially after what we saw and dealt with before I put my notice in.

Stan said "what happened"

Jenny said "Jethro are you ok with this"

Jethro said "its fine Jen"

Jenny said "one of the last patients I had before I fully decided to change jobs, was Kelly's crash, she was three and had broken both Legs and left arm, dislocated her left shoulder and knee, had cuts everywhere and was petrified and screaming and wouldn't let anyone near her, it took me two hours to get close to her, another 30 minutes to be able to start treating her, she would not let no one else near her, we had to do surgery to reset her right leg, she had over 100 stitches, Jethro was deployed, her mother was an alcoholic and Kelly was meant to be with her maternal grandmother, but when she wouldn't give Kelly to Shannon, she attacked her causing her to die, at the time she was drunk, she frightened Kelly into going with her with threats, and then drove drunk and crashed, Jethro's c/o was told Kelly was dead by a stupid nurse, so he got himself blown up he was unconscious for 19 days, once Kelly was discharged she stayed with me as we couldn't find any family, as we couldn't get hold of Jackson, when Jethro got home she was doing a lot better and not having as many nightmares or flashbacks but seemed to do better, after that, I left and decided to Join NCIS.

By the time she had tears streaming down her face, Jethro pulled her into a hug

Lilly said "I forgot how hard that was on you"

Jenny sighed and said "yeh I'm just glad she's turned into a beautiful, healthy and happy girl"

Jethro said "most of that is down to you"

Jenny said "no it's not it's both of us"

Jethro wrapped his arms around her from behind and whispered "most of it was you" Jenny turned to face him and kissed him

Lilly smirked and said " I remember coming to your house about three weeks after he was home and Naomi let me in and you were both kissing in your study, I was pretty shocked as I only thought you knew each other for three weeks, but I suppose it brought you back together again"

Jenny laughed and said "I was more surprised Naomi let you in, and I'm pretty sure with the way Jethro gets injured, i would have seen him sooner or later"

She then turned to Cassie and said "can I have a word with you in my office"

Cassie said "yes" then followed her to her office,

Jenny said "I have funding to put together a second MCRT and wondering if you want to be team leader"

Cassie smiled and said "yes, who are you thinking the team,"

Jenny said "I'm thinking Stan and Will and possibly Paula, also thinking Will for the senior field agent

Cassie said "great let me know when you've spoken to them"

Jenny said "can you send Will and Stan up"

Cassie said "yes" and went downstairs and said "Will, Stan, Director wants you in her office,"

They both went on up and went in, and Will said "you wanted to see us director"

Jenny said " yes, but its Jenny, I'm setting up a second MCRT, Cassie is going to be team leader, would you to both Like to be on the team"

Stan said "yes as I want to be here rather than afloat when the baby is born",

Will said "sure it would be nice to be back here.

Jenny said, "Do either of you object to me Making Will senior field agent?"

Stan said "no, as I don't have to worry so much when the baby is due"

Will said "no Jenny"

Jenny said "ok don't mention anything till I come down can you ask Paula to come up"

When they went down Will said "Paula Jenny wants you in her office"

Paula went up and Tony said "what's wrong"

Will said "got to wait for Jenny to come down, but it's nothing bad"

Paula went into Jenny's office and said "hey Jenny"

Jenny said "I'm creating a second MCRT, with Cassie as Team lead, Will as the senior field agent and Stan as a team member, do you want to be the fourth member"

Paula smiled and said "really, you think I'm ready for that then yes"

Jenny said, "yes you are, come on let's go tell everyone".

They both went down and Jenny said "I have been given enough funding to create a second MCRT, to help with your caseload SecNav wanted me to have them chosen by the end of the day, Cassie is the team leader, Will is the SFA, and Stan and Paula will be the two other members you will start on Monday at 09:00, Cassie I want you here tomorrow at 09:00"

Everyone smiled and congratulated them

Jenny said " you can all go, Jethro, I'm just going to ring SecNav and then I'll be down in a few minutes"

With this she went upstairs and rang SecNav who agreed with her choice, she then told Cynthia to go home and came down to Jethro and they both left together.
