Tony (14), Kate (13), Tim (11).
„Morning," Jethro greeted his wife and cuddled closer to her.
„Morning," Jen answered and gave Jethro a good-morning kiss.
„Happy anniversary," smiled Jethro.
„Happy anniversary," repeated Jen with a grin.
Jethro leaned back and kissed his wife once more. He pulled Jen closer and deepened the kiss.
Jen broke the kiss, smiling: „Jethro, I need to go."
„Uhuh." and he put his arms firmly around her waist and dragged her back to the bed.
Jen laughed: "I really need to go."
"Je-en," he whined.
"Jethro. Let me go."
He rolled his eyes and let her go.
Two hours later was Jen sitting in her director office. She was going through some reports.
She heard a knock.
"Yeah? Come in."
"Uhm, hello, director."
"Morning, Cynthia."
"There has been a delivery guy and I was asked to give you these." and with that Cynthia entered holding 15 red roses.
Jen's face softened and she smiled.
"Thank you, please, bring them here."
Cynthia handed her the bouquet of roses and left.
Jen smelled them and noticed a small piece of paper. She took it, read it and she smiled.
"Love you, Jen. Happy anniversary."
Jen hasn't seen Jethro the whole day, the team was out investigating a case. So she at least send a message to her husband: "Thanks for the roses, Jethro. Be careful, I love you. See you in the evening. Jen."
When she entered their house at 6 pm that evening, it surprised her, how quiet it was.
She called: "Kids? Jethro?"
No response. She shrugged her shoulders, put her coat on a hook, put away her high-heels.
She continued to the bedroom. There she found her red dress on the bed and a note saying: "See you at 7 in the basement."
"Jethrooo?" Jenny called.
He appeared in the doorframe.
"Yeah?"
"What is going on?"
"I think it's pretty obvious."
"Where are the kids?"
"With Diane and Tobias."
"And...?"
He disappeared.
Jenny stood there. Finally she decided to follow the instructions.
One hour later, dressed in the dress and with her hair done, she opened the door to the basement.
Jethro looked up to Jenny and gasped. She looked stunning. Her hair went in curls below her shoulders, she wore the red dress and a simple make-up.
She, on the other hand, couldn't recognize their own basement. Room was enlightened by candles, there was soft music playing in the background and her husband was standing in the middle wearing a tuxedo, looking extremely handsome.
She descended the stairs and joined him.
"Jethro!" she gasped.
"Jen, you look awesome."
"You too, I love you in the tuxedos."
She turned around to examine the room. "Jethro, how did you all manage it?"
"Do you like it?" he smiled.
"No, I love it. You are the best husband ever."
With that she kissed him.
After a very sweet kiss they drew back. Jethro cleared his throat. "Come here, we have a special dinner waiting."
"What? Where?"
"Right here." He pointed behind his boat to show her couple of baskets and a blanket with pillows.
"You cooked?"
"Hm."
"Wow."
They sat down. After eating the dinner, talking, cuddling and just enjoying being together, Jethro stood up and asked.
"Jenny, will you dance with me?"
"Jethro..." she gasped and smiled.
With that, after dancing for couple songs and being impossible close, laughing and smiling the whole time, Jenny drew a bit back and looked into her husbands' eyes.
And leaned for a breath-taking kiss.
They were kissing slowly and she started to gently untie his tie. Soon the dress joined the tuxedo on the floor.
Later as they were in a tight and nice embrace, Jen turned to her husband.
"Jethro. Thank you. That was one of the best days I've ever had in my whole life. I love you. And I love seeing this romantic side of you. You are the best husband and father, I found the best person. Happy anniversary."
Jethro pulled her wife closer: "Jen, I love you. I love our life, our kids. I can't even believe, that it's been already 15 years. I am glad I can spend the rest of my life with you."
