HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY PEOPLE

I really hope you all have had / are having a great day, whether that is going on a date or staying at home watching something on the TV.

I absolutely adore Kate Winslet and this song, and I feel that it fits with Jenny and Gibbs so much.

Once again, I have nothing else to say so please do enjoy guys xx

Jenny Shepard stood on the balcony, feeling a weight on her shoulders that had been there for almost a decade, and it refused to go away. She kept remembering leaving him on the plane with just a Dear John letter inside the cream coat he had given her for Christmas the year before.

Him being her best agent, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, whom she still loved. When she had first met him, he was more carefree and not the tough Marine he was now. She wondered what had made him change, and she prayed it was not her leaving him.

She tried to stay, but being with him everyday and keeping the secret of not killing her target ate her up inside, so she left. She couldn't cope with the fact that she had so many secrets from him. She drew the line, but the question still spinned around in her mind.

What if she had never left? Would he be the man he had been when she had first met him? If she had stayed, if he had tried a little bit harder, if only they could turn back time, but they would never know.

There were many roads to take, some could lead to joy, and others could lead to heartache. Anyone in the world could lose their way.

'If I said to him "we can turn time back to when we first met", would he take the chance and change everything?' Jenny thought.

'Does Jethro ever think how we could have been if I never left? Does he wish I never left him?' She asked herself.

'What if I had never left? Would he be the man he had been when I first met him? If I stayed, if he tried, if only we could turn back time, but we're never gonna know because of the stupid mistake I made all those years ago' Jenny thought angrily.

Meanwhile, down in the bullpen, Gibbs was thinking about Jenny. He thought about her almost all of the time. He still loved her.

'If we could turn back time, if I could take her back, would she still be mine?' He asked himself.

His blue orbs found her jade ones and hers filled with tears before she ran into her office.

'Oh no' Gibbs thought before he ran up the stairs, went into her office and pulled her into his arms.

She sobbed into his chest and he rocked her back and forth.

"Shhhh, Jen, shhhh" he whispered to her as he rubbed her back and stroked her hair.

"I'm sorry" she cried. "I'm so sorry, Jethro."

"What're you sorry for?" He asked irecredulously as he lifted her chin up with his finger.

"For leaving you, for choosing my career over you, for becoming a politician, for being su..." Jenny was cut off by Gibbs putting his lips on hers.

"Stop putting yourself down, Jen, you know how much I hate that" he told her once he had pulled back.

"It's true though" she said.

"Oh my god, Jenny, stop. You're beautiful, and smart, and how you deal with those politicians never fails to make me smile. You've come so far and I'm so proud of you. I love you" Gibbs told Jenny and she smiled.

"I love you too" she replied before she kissed him softly again.

Jenny and Gibbs would never know what would happen if she had not left, or if he had gone after her. They would never know what would happen if they had made different choices. All they could do was stop thinking about the what ifs and just look forward to the future they had ahead of them.

Have a great day guys!! Thanks for reading, I love you all so much!!! Isla x
