Off The Hook

Chapter 17th

After Jack had left the house leaving Gibbs alone. She drove off in her mini cooper heading for the Naval yards. She would stop at the diner to pick up two coffees for herself though she had been ordered by her doctor to cut down on the sugar assumption.

Once she had paid for the two coffees, she was stopped at the gate by the security guard with a backup with the guards checking other vehicles taking 15 minutes in total. She was able to sip her coffee while waiting. She did text a message to her very sexy husband supposed to be sleeping at home.

"Hey! I know you're asleep, I just wanted to send this text telling you I am thinking a great deal about you." She sent off the text-only a moment later she received a reply to have her blood boiling...

"Not sleeping yet! But I will be soon Jack. I already missed you with the house so quiet. Love ya." He wrote to her.

She decided to send a reply back before the guard was going to wave her on. "I know about the loneliness Jethro. I love you."

Afterward she began to move on into the Naval Yards and her moving into the main NCIS building for where her office is located. Walking inside around 11 A.M, she met up with Director Leon Vance on the top of the stairs.

He looked at Jack looking tired after last night's poker game and etc! "How 's it going, Jack?"

"Tire Leon, it's why I have two coffees to keep me awake." She replied to her long-time friend.

"How's Gibbs doing this morning Jack?" He was a concern for his Supervisory agent for NCIS and his team.

"In pain Leon, otherwise he's trying to not think too much about the shooting and Phineas abduction. He's supposed to be taking his nap now or else if I have something to say about it."

"Just be sure he stays safe and sound before he comes back to work. I know Doctor Taft wants to keep him out of work until he's ready to come back." Leon quipped by placing a hand over his head to rub it slightly.

"I just hope so Leon or I will try to put pressure on him to try and to retire finally to spend the time with his wife and unborn child." She really surprised her friend since he didn't know that she was pregnant.

"Jesus Jack! Congrats...I will need to take Kayla with me to buy the baby a perfect gift. Do you happened to know whether there is going to be a baby shower?"

"I have no idea at this time, Leon, I just need to make sure that my husband stays healthy and away from the Cartel leader. No doubt he's going to go after him after what was done to him and Phineas." Jack needed to say to get her fears out in the open.

"That's a good bet on it, Jack. And I suggest that you stay out of the line of fire when it does happen. Maybe not now but there is a possible chance in the coming weeks with the Cartel lead Jose Juan Hernandez." Leon needed to say with Jack walking away to head for her office and get to work on the files no doubt is on her desk.

Director Leon Vance had looked down into the bullpen to see that it was empty currently with the team working on their different cases.

However, for Bishop, she needed to finally tell Nick Torres that he was going to be a father...

The both of them had come back from a scene having talked to a couple of witnesses before heading back to NCIS to have a couple of hot dogs for what they messed earlier this morning.

Elle Bishop was nervous as hell as she watched Nick chomp down on his hot dog with the works. Nick had felt that something was going on with his partner and he had a feeling what just it might be.

"Are you going to tell me why you been so quiet the past few days Eleanor?" Torres needed to say to his future wife.

"Nothing is wrong Nick, so please just drop it already?" Bishop had sipped more of her diet cola that the vendor had handed to her.

"No I won't Elle, you're going to tell me now." He said with sternness with his tone of voice and mostly with his demeanor.

"ALRIGHT NICK! I am pregnant for seven weeks to be exact. I had a check-up last week to confirm my suspicions. This is no way to go into a marriage finding out that we are going to be parents." She stated with tears falling down her face with Nick moving over to her to wipe the tears away...
