A few days later, after Jethro had contacted, Lilia who is Matt's younger sister, he arranged an appointment for them to go sign the paperwork, and asked how long it would take, she said it would take two weeks meaning it would come back the day before Jenny's birthday, so he asked her if she could tell Jenny three weeks, so he could use it as a birthday present for her, a few days later they all went and signed the forms, and Lilia said, she would send it off so a Judge could see, and It should be back in three weeks as they won't need to do anything more.
Since then they had just been enjoying their time, Kelly had her check-up which ensured she was all healed and no longer needed the sling, there also seemed to be no major cases or lots of meetings and ops, Jethro and Kelly were planning a few surprises for her birthday and the small party she wanted, It was now the day before Jenny's birthday, and he popped up to Jenny's office,
Jenny smiled and said, "Hey what can I do for you?"
Jethro said "I just wanted to tell you I'm going to follow up a Lead, Do you want some Lunch bringing back or do you want to go out"
Jenny smiled and said "ok and can you bring some back, what are you thinking of getting?"
Jethro smiled and said "It's a surprise, I will see you when I get back, I love you," with this he leaned down and kissed her,
Jenny kissed him back and said "Stay safe, I love you"
with this he went out the door, The team helped cover for him as he told them he was just getting a present for Jenny's birthday and he took Ziva with him and explained what it was when she asked why they were at a Lawyer's office, she waited in the car, while he went into Lilia's office
She handed him the papers in an envelope, and said "All sorted Jethro, Hope she likes the surprise"
Jethro said "thank you, Lilia, it was Good seeing you again, we're having a party for Jenny, you and matt should come if your free and if he still speaks to Adam bring him to"
Lilia smiled and said "we will be there see you tomorrow"
with this he left the office, stopped by and picked up some food, and went back to the Navy yard, when they got to the bullpen he said "you can all go for lunch" and then he went up to Jenny's office to eat lunch with her, he sat down on the couch and started sorting the food out onto the paper plates, he had picked up.
Jenny smiled as she came and sat with him and said "you got us, French food"
Jethro smiled and said "Bourdin Noir Aux Pommes, It was on the specials board and I remembered how much you liked it, we also have profiteroles and cream for dessert"
Jenny smiled and kissed him then said "your amazing, thank you"
with this they ate the food and spoke for a while, and then went back to work, Jenny finishing paperwork, as she had tomorrow and the weekend off, and Jethro closing the case, before they both went home, and met Kelly there, while Jenny was cooking Tea, Jethro and Kelly arranged everything for the morning, and made sure it was all ready, they then ate tea, and Kelly went upstairs to do homework, while Jethro and Jenny both went out to the study so she could finish some paperwork, before going to bed.
The next morning Jethro got up, got Kelly up and then went and made Jenny a coffee and Pancakes with strawberries, and took it upstairs, he and Kelly then went into his and Jenny's room and placed it on the floor, before he leaned over Jenny and rubbed her arm,
And said "Jen honey wake up"
Jenny woke up, and then sat up and said "Morning Jethro, Morning Kelly"
Jethro said "happy birthday Beautiful" and then placed her breakfast on her lap, and went and sat on his side of the bed.
Kelly came and sat where Jethro had just been sitting and said "Happy Birthday Mom"
Once she had eaten breakfast, Jethro moved the tray while Kelly handed her presents and cards of her,
Jenny said "thank you Kel"
she opened the Card first and smiled at it saying 'mom' knowing it would be official next week, she then opened her presents, the first was a photo frame that said 'Worlds Best Mom' with a photo of them both sat on a beach taken a few weeks before Jenny Joined NCIS, her second Was a bracelet that said 'mom' on it
Jenny said "they're beautiful thank you Kelly" and then pulled her into a hug,
Jethro handed Jenny his card and presents
Jenny said "thank you, Jethro"
she opened his Card, which said 'wife' and a tear ran down her face, knowing that this is the first birthday card with it on since they've been married, she then opened up his presents, which was her favourite Bath set, A Canvas photo collage which said my wife and a poem in the middle and photos of them through the years around the edge and a Charm bracelet , which had a few charms already on it, three circles interlinked, one side it had a green gem, with her initials and birth date, in the middle was a purple gem, with Kelly's initials and birth date and on the other side was a blue Gem with Jethro's initials and birth date, There was a Heart with their wedding date on it, an anchor, for both her naval career and her NCIS one, and orange awareness ribbon - with a link underneath which said six years, and the last was an Eiffel tower
She looked up at him with tears in his eyes and said "thank you" and pulled her into a hug,
Kelly said "I'm going to go get ready" and left the room,
Jenny went to get up and Jethro stopped her and she said "Jethro I need to get ready to"
Jethro said "There's one more gift I need to give you" he went into the bedside drawer and pulled out an envelope, and handed it to her.
She opened it and pulled out the Adoption papers, looked at him with shock and tears running down her face, and said "how did you get it done early, I thought it was going to be next week"
He said "nope, she said they would be ready yesterday when I first spoke to her, I asked her if she could tell you it would be next week so I could surprise you"
Jenny started crying and said "it's the best gift I could have thank you"
He pulled her into a hug, when she calmed down she kissed him passionately and then they both went off to get ready.
