Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. Enjoy x
Disclaimer- I only own Megan and her friends. Absolutely nothing else.
Megan twisted over in her bed and glanced at the clock. 1000. She couldn't move. Just then, the door opened.
"Good morning, sweetheart" Jenny said as she walked in.
Her daughter stayed silent.
"What's wrong?" The older redhead asked as she sat down on Megan's bed.
"I can't tell you" the teenager replied, tears rolling down her face, "where's Ducky?"
"He went to your Father's."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"That'll be Harriet and the girls" the older redhead stated, "will you be alright if I get this?"
Megan nodded and then her Mom went downstairs to answer the door. She opened it to reveal Harriet, Abby and Ziva.
"Jenny?" Harriet asked, "are you alright?"
"Come in" Jenny said before she let them in, "Megan's up in her bed. She's obviously anxious about something she refuses to tell me what it is which means it something to do with the wedding."
"I will go up" Ziva offered.
"Thank you" Jenny replied sincerely.
Ziva smiled before she went out of the living room and upstairs to Megan's room. She heard music playing and knocked on the door softly.
"Megan?" She called quietly.
"In here" Megan responded.
Ziva walked in to see Megan lying down, tears rolling down her face.
"What is wrong?" The Israeli asked as she sat on the younger redhead's bed.
"I can't do it" Megan sobbed, "I can't sing it, Ziva."
Ziva knew what she was talking about immediately so she lay down beside the teenager and hugged her tightly.
"It is alright. You can just play the song on the speakers" Ziva whispered.
"I want to sing it though! My anxiety has prevented me from doing things. I can't let it prevent me from doing things but I do!" Megan cried.
"You are the only one who can make yourself go up on that stage and sing it. If you want to do it, then do it. Your anxiety does not define you" the agent reminded the teenager.
Megan pulled back and wiped her cheeks.
"Thanks, Zives" she said.
"Are you up for getting dressed?" The Israeli questioned.
Megan nodded her head again.
"I will leave you then" Ziva stated, turning around.
"Ziva" Megan said and Ziva turned around once again, "thank you."
Ziva smiled before she walked out and went downstairs.
"She is a bit better now" she said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Thank you, Ziva" Jenny replied sincerely.
"It is nothing, Jenny" Ziva told her.
A couple of minutes later, Megan came in, her face still a bit red.
"Morning Abby. Morning Harriet" she acknowledged
"At your Dad's. Apparently Jethro's stressed about the wedding" Jenny told her.
Megan nodded. She grabbed her toast, ate it and then she went to the landline to call her Dad.
"Gibbs household" Tony's voice rang out.
"Tony? Is Dad there?" The redhead asked.
"He's on the sofa panicking, Megan" the film buff told her.
"Can you put him on please, Tony?" The teenager requested.
There was some muffling before Gibbs spoke.
"Yeah, Gibbs."
"Dad? Are you alright?" She questioned.
"Fine, Megs, honestly" he assured her.
"Considering Ducky left for your house before I even got out of bed because you were stressed about the wedding and Tony just told me you're on the sofa panicking, I don't believe that for a second" his daughter said before her voice softened. "Dad, you can tell me anything."
The Marine took a deep breath before he spoke.
"I'm scared I'll screw up" he admitted.
"You won't screw up" she told him softly yet firmly.
"I might though!" He cried.
"Dad" Megan said gently, "Mom loves you. She loves you to the moon and back, and that's saying something. You love her, right?"
"Yes, I haven't been this happy since I lost Shannon and Kelly" he told her.
"Tell her that then" the redhead replied as Jenny walked over.
"Megan...?" He asked.
Megan handed the phone to Jenny with a grin before she ran to the kitchen.
"Hello? Jethro?" Jenny stated.
"Jenny?" Gibbs responded.
"How are you?" She questioned.
Gibbs stayed silent.
"Jethro?" The older redhead asked.
"I'm scared I'll screw up" he told her.
"Why?" She inquired.
"What I lose you and Megs like I lost Shan and Kel?" He replied.
Jenny's heart broke in half.
"Jethro, you're not going to lose us, I promise" she told him.
"You can't promise that, Jen!" He cried.
"I can't, but I can sure as hell try" she responded.
"I wish you were here right now" he said.
"I wish I was too, but I'll see you later. I love you, Jethro. You make me the happiest person in the world" the redhead stated.
"I love you too, Jen. I haven't been this happy since Shan and Kel" he replied and she smiled.
"Goodbye, Jethro. I'll see you in a few hours" Jenny reminded him.
"Bye Jen" Gibbs said before they both hung up.
Jenny walked through to the kitchen. Abby, Ziva and Megan were all on the sofa laughing about something.
"What're you all laughing about?" The older redhead asked.
"A Star Wars meme" Megan informed her Mom.
"Right" Jenny stated with a small smile before she glanced at her watch and her eyes widened, "we need to get ready."
They all got ready. Abby and Ziva dealt with each others' hair and Harriet did Jenny's and Megan's.
"I love it! Thank you so much!" The younger redhead exclaimed, turning her head around to look at her updo.
"You are very welcome" Harriet responded.
Megan smiled before she went to get changed into her dress.
"Abby! Ziva! Someone!" A scream came from the bathroom and the goth and Israeli rushed there.
"Megan?" Abby asked.
"Are you alright?" Ziva questioned.
"I can't reach the zip, and I'm worried I'll rip the dress if I try" the younger redhead answered, "I'm going to unlock the door."
She unlocked the door and let the other two in. Ziva pulled up the zip and Megan turned around.
"Thank you" she said to the agent.
"You are very welcome. Is there anything else we can do for you?" Ziva asked.
"All I have to do is put on my shoes and lipstick and then I'll be done. I love your outfits by the way" the teenager complimented.
"Thank you. You look amazing in that dress" Abby told her.
"Cheers, Abs" Megan replied.
"You're welcome, Megs" the goth answered.
Megan grinned. Just then, the doorbell rang and the redhead briefly looked puzzled before she realized.
"The flowers!" She cried before she ran down the stairs.
She opened the front door and got the flowers.
"Thank you" she said before she closed it.
She walked through to the kitchen and put the flowers down on the kitchen table. She heard the door opening and went to see who it was.
"Good morning, my dear."
It was Ducky.
"Morning, Duckman" the teenager responded, "how's Dad?"
"He's stopped panicking and is now getting ready" the doctor told her, "how's your Mother?"
"She's looking forward to it" the redhead stated.
"And what about you?" Ducky questioned.
"What about me?" Megan answered.
"How are you feeling about your big surprise?"
The redhead faced him, feeling more vulnerable than ever before.
"I'm scared. I'm well and truly scared. I haven't been this scared since I had to go back to school without Alexis there" she told him.
His heart broke and he took Megan's hands.
"Do you want to do it?" He asked and she nodded, "do it then. Only you can get up on that stage."
"That's what Ziva said. But I can't. I can't do it, Ducky. I need help. I need to stop worrying about every single little thing. Ever since I found out about the other thing all I've been doing is worrying. What if something happens to Mom?" she told him.
"I am keeping a close eye on her, and she has you and your Father. She is going to be fine, and so is the baby" the Scotsman responded.
"You can't keep that promise though" she reminded him.
"I can't" he concurred, "but I can try."
She nodded and he took her into his arms. Just then, the door opened.
"It's time to go" Abby said.
Megan held onto Ducky's arm as they walked to the door and they all got into the car.
"I'm driving!" Ziva shouted.
"Ziva" Jenny stated gently, "we want to get there alive."
Ziva's shoulders slumped slightly before she got into the front passenger's seat and Abby got into the driver's seat. Jenny, Megan and Ducky all got into the back, in that order (Harriet had left an hour ago to get ready). They drove to the venue and they all got out.
"You are going to be OK" Ziva whispered to Megan as she hugged the younger redhead.
The teenager nodded.
"Good luck" Abby said before she briefly hugged the girl who was like a sister to her.
Megan smiled weakly at the goth. Abby and Ziva went in and Megan took deep breaths to calm herself.
"Sweetheart?" Jenny questioned.
"I'm fine" Megan told her.
"Are you sure?" Ducky asked.
"It's nothing I can't deal with" she responded and the two adults shared glances before they nodded.
Soon, it was time to go in. Megan took a big, deep breath before she opened the door and a piano version of Fix You by Coldplay began to play. She gasped as she realized and then she caught her Father's eye and they both smiled. She walked up the aisle and got to the top before looking for her Mom and Ducky, who were close to the top. They got to the top and Ducky stood beside Megan. She took his hand and he squeezed it. The wedding officiant spoke and Megan listened. For the first time that day she was at peace.
NCIS
Megan walked backstage and glanced at her best friends anxiously.
"I'm not sure about this" she quavered.
"You'll be alright, Megs" Alexis assured her.
Megan nodded before she hugged the other four and made her way onto the stage. The people down below looked up at her and the teenager took a deep breath before she spoke into the microphone.
"Um, hi, again. It's time for the first dance so if Mom and Dad could make their way onto the dance floor then we can get started. It's taken most of the willpower I have to get up here because speaking in front of people terrifies me, never mind singing. Anyway, the reason why I chose the song I did is because I'm a huge Swiftie. I love Taylor's music as much as I love my family and friends, which is more than I can put into words.
"1989 is my favourite album, and Mom and I went to see her in Glasgow in June for the 1989 Tour when she was there. Last week, I was listening to the album and This Love came on. I bolted upright because I knew this is my parents' song. It sums their relationship up perfectly. The instrumental I'm using is by a person called Sam Yung. He posted it on Tumblr and Taylor liked it which means it's Taylor-approved. Anyway, I hope you all like it" Megan said before the instrumental began to play.
She took a deep breath before she began to sing.
Clear blue water
High tide, came and brought you in
And I could go on and on, on and on
And I will, skies grow darker, currents swept you out again
And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone
In silent screams, and wildest dreams
I never dreamed of this
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is a life back from the dead, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me, oh
Oh, oh
Tossing, turning, struggle through the night for someone new
And I could go on and on, on and on
Lanterns burning, flickered in the mind only you
But you were still gone, gone, gone
Been losing grip, on sinking ships
You showed up, just in time
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is a life back from the dead, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me, oh
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me, oh
This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
This love, this love, this love, this love
Your kiss, my cheek
I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost
I fell to my knees
When you're young, just to run
But you come back to what you need
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is a life back from the dead, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And, this love came back to me, oh
This love that's a permanent mar
(This love) This love is glowing in the dark, oh
(This love) These hands had to let it go free
(This love) And this love came back to me, oh
This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
This love, this love, this love, this love (Oh)
This love, this love, this love, this love (This love came back to me, oh)
Megan finished and everyone in the room clapped. She smiled and then she walked off stage. She walked to her table and sat down.
"Meg, that was amazing" Gibbs said.
"Thanks, Dad" she answered before they shared a hug.
"Megan?" Jenny asked, "I have something for you."
Megan's eyes narrowed in confusion and her Mother handed her a box. The younger redhead opened it and then her eyes widened. It was a Stormtrooper necklace.
"What?! Where did you get this?! How?!" She asked.
"You like it then?" Gibbs questioned.
"Like it?!" Megan cried, "I love it! Thank you so so much!"
She hugged them both tightly.
"Let's put it on your neck" Jenny said before she did just that.
Megan smiled before she hugged her parents again.
The Next Day
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Jenny asked her daughter anxiously.
"Mom, I'll be fine. Anyway, I don't know why you're so worried about me. Tony and Ziva still aren't dating, and they're still at each others' throats so I'd be more worried about them because Abby and I are about to snap" Megan responded.
"Don't kill anyone" Gibbs warned her.
"We won't kill them" the younger redhead assured them, "we'll lock them in a room until they can sort out their issues which should hopefully take a couple of hours. Ducky's given us permission to use Autopsy so that's this afternoon taken care of."
Jenny grinned before she hugged her daughter and kissed her hair.
"Behave yourself. I love you" Megan's Mom stated.
"I love you too. Now stop worrying. Go and enjoy your honeymoon and do not. Phone. Until. You. Get. Back" the teenager told her.
She hugged her Dad and smiled as she watched her parents hug Ducky and then walk away. Her Mom looked back once more and Megan waved before Jenny looked forward. At that moment, Megan was truly happy.
Right, now I'm going to copy and paste part 2, and then I'm going to email and explain the stupid problem I'm having.
Thanks for reading this guys x
