I'm supposed to be finishing off a conclusion for an essay but I'm stuck so I'm blasting a song from a video edit of my OTP from my latest obsession, Call The Midwife, and attempting to finish Part 2 of the epilogue, which isn't going well.
Enjoy guys x
Previously
Eventually, the taxi arrived at Jenny's house. Gibbs thanked the driver before he got his bags. He closed the trunk and took a deep breath before he opened the gate and walked into the front garden. He rang the doorbell but no one answered. He looked under a stone and saw the key.
'She'll be at work' he thought before he turned around and saw Jenny and Megan walking through the gate and towards him.
"I'll go. You wait here" Megan whispered to her Mom who nodded.
Megan hugged her Mom before she walked over to her Dad.
"What're you doing here?" She asked.
Present
"I'm so so sorry, Megan. My personal feelings clouded-" Gibbs was cut off by Megan.
"I love you Dad" she whispered.
She wrapped her arms around him and he did the same. Jenny stood there, her eyes filled with tears. Megan and Gibbs let go and the agent walked over to his former lover.
"I know what Mann did. He got fired because of it. Why didn't you tell me?" Gibbs asked, gripping Jenny's hand and entwining their fingers.
"I didn't want you to be disappointed in me" Jenny said softly, tears in her eyes.
"I could never be disappointed in you Jen. Angry at you maybe, but never ever disappointed" he replied before he kissed her.
Megan felt like she was going to explode. Her parents pulled back and the teenager bull rushed them. Jenny and Gibbs both smiled as they hugged her.
"Wait 'til Ducky hears about this" the younger redhead muttered and her parents laughed.
They all went inside and sat at the table. Jenny and Gibbs sat down beside each other and Megan sat opposite them.
"Do you want to go back, Meg?" Her Mom asked.
"I don't know if I can" Megan replied, tears in her eyes.
"Hollis and Bianca are gone, I promise you" Gibbs told her.
"I'm scared though" she confessed.
Jenny's heart broke.
"I'll be there" she assured her daughter, "you'll be alright."
"You were there the last time, and look what happened!" Megan reminded her with a sob.
A tear rolled down Jenny's cheek.
"I know" the older redhead stated, "and I'm sorry."
"Megan, I promise you'll be OK" Gibbs vowed.
Megan thought for a moment before she nodded.
"I'll do it" she assured the other two in a whisper before she walked over and hugged them, "I love you guys."
"I love you too" her Dad replied quietly.
"Me too" her Mom said softly.
The teenager pulled back.
"I'm gonna go and start to repack" she replied before she walked upstairs.
Jenny turned to face Gibbs.
"I'm so sorry I didn-" she was cut off when he kissed her.
"Don't apologize, Jen. We have a chance now, and I'm not losing you again. I love you too much to let that happen" he told her.
Tears rolled down Jenny's cheeks.
"You love me...?" The redhead questioned.
"Of course. I came here for both of you" he replied.
"I love you too" she said before she threw her arms around him.
They broke apart and waited for Megan who came down ten minutes later.
"Got everything!" the younger redhead cried, "Mom?"
"I have to pack a bigger suitcase" Jenny stated with a roll of her eyes.
"Let's go then" Megan answered before the three of them walked upstairs.
Jenny and Megan packed the older redhead's suitcase, while Gibbs watched them.
"We are done" the teenager said as she stepped back.
"That was fast" Gibbs stated.
Megan smirked.
"That's just the clothes. We still have makeup and shoes to do" she told him and he groaned.
"Why do women need so much?" He complained.
"Because we like to look pretty" Jenny replied with a smile.
Jenny and Megan began to pack the bag with the shoes and makeup.
"We can take all these to the thrift store" the older redhead stated, referring to the shoes that she didn't want.
"That's a great idea" her daughter agreed, "I'll get a couple of boxes."
"Let me do it, Meg" Gibbs said, "you keep on helping your Mom."
"Thanks, Dad."
Gibbs walked out and Jenny turned to Megan.
"Are you sure you're alright about going back?" She asked her daughter.
"Yeah. I really, really miss the others" Megan told her.
"OK then, I just wanted to check" Jenny told her
Her daughter nodded with a small smile as Gibbs walked back in with boxes.
"I found some boxes" he stated.
He, Megan and Jenny all began to pile the shoes into the boxes. After about ten minutes, they were done.
"To the thrift store!" Megan cried before they all walked down the stairs and got into the car.
They drove to the thrift store and dropped off the shoes before they headed back to the house. Jenny quickly booked their flight on her laptop and then it was time to go.
"I'm just going to have one last check for any stuff" Megan said and her parents nodded.
She checked all the rooms, and when she reached the final one: her own, a sad smile filled her face. She took a deep breath before she went downstairs and they got into the car once again. They drove to the airport and Jenny handed the car in to be sold. The three of them walked into the airport and did everything they had to do. Eventually, it was time to go onto the plane. The three of them stepped onto it, as a family. Megan sat nearest the window, and then Jenny, and finally Gibbs. They reached Washington after midnight, and Megan was absolutely exhausted so they drove straight to Gibbs's house.
"Darling, you need to get up, we're here" Jenny said as she shook her daughter.
"Uh uh" the younger redhead muttered.
"You can sleep on the sofa" Gibbs told her, "all you have to do is go inside."
Megan groaned before she walked inside and collapsed on the sofa.
"Leave the bags. We can get them tomorrow" the older redhead told the Marine who nodded.
NCIS
Megan woke up the next morning and stretched.
"Huh, where am I?" She asked groggily.
Memories filled her mind of the previous day and she grinned. She looked outside the window to see her parents unloading the bags out of Gibbs's car and she got up and ran outside.
"WATCH MY CDS!" She screamed.
"We were careful with your CDs, Meg, they're in your room unscathed" Jenny told her.
She stopped suddenly.
"Thank goodness" she said before she looked at her watch, "it's 11:22! Why are we still here?! We need to go to NCIS!"
"Tom gave me the morning off. We'll go in at midday" Gibbs responded.
"But that's ages" the teenager groaned.
"It's only 38 minutes. If you help with the stuff then we can go in earlier" Jenny stated.
"OK" Megan replied before she did help, and soon enough, they were done, "now can we go?"
"OK" Gibbs said before they got into the car and drove to NCIS.
Jenny and Megan both got badges and they all walked up to the squad room. They got to the bullpen and saw Tony, Ziva, McGee, Abby, Jimmy, Ducky, Tom and Harriet all standing there with a sign saying "Welcome home Jenny and Megan" and Megan stopped right there before she burst into tears. Ducky wrapped her in a hug as she cried. Eventually, she pulled back.
"Hey Duckman" she greeted with a teary smile, wiping the tears off her cheeks.
"Hello Megan" the doctor replied with a grin.
They let go and Megan hugged everyone else and said hello. Just then, Gibbs kissed Jenny's temple and everyone cheered.
"Anthony and I win the pool" Ducky stated simply.
"Wait, what?" Jenny and Megan chorused.
"We bet that Jethro and Jennifer would get together sometime between when he got to Edinburgh and when they came back here. Everyone else said tomorrow, next week or next month" Ducky said with a smirk.
The others groaned and handed the doctor and the film buff$20each.
"$120each?!" Megan asked in shock, "that is a lot!"
"Betting pools are normal here, and so are Duck and Tony winning" Gibbs told her, "you'll get used to it."
"What makes you think we're living here?" Jenny asked him in a sassy tone.
"Because I know you" Gibbs replied before he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.
Everyone else clapped and cheered, or in Tony's case, wolf whistled. Megan smiled. Finally, things were perfect.
That was pretty short, but it had to finish there.
Next stop: THE EPILOGUE (which is split into two parts, unfortunately.)
Thank you so so much for reading, I love you all
