The Mending of a Broken Woman
Chapter 1.
After having a rather leisurely morning the next day Liz and Gibbs were finally on their way to Stillwater for their break together. Although they were on the road slightly later than they had got planned, seeing as she was rudely awakened by feeling Gibbs hot breath against her neck, then she shot awake properly as she felt a small bite in the crook of her neck and shoulder. Due to her reaction she then heard what sounded to her like a giggle. Because of the way it also made her smile and giggle she looked down out of the corner of her eye to see him still buried in the crook of her neck and shoulder. So she couldn't resist it and reached over to give him a gentle head slap. When he looked back up at her she says "Did I just hear you giggle Leroy Jethro Gibbs?" As he then just answered her with a "Mmm mmm!" As she saw the dark look in his eyes, she knew that she was in trouble and boy was that so very true! Because he then started to torture her with pleasure, but each time she did something to deepen the pleasure or even touch him, he would stop her and silently shake his head no at her. At one time she knew with the way he looked at her and at the nightstands that he was silently threatening her to the handcuffs of theirs that was in there. And despite her past she actually found herself thinking that perhaps she might like to be cuffed because of the way she did love him; and knew that he wouldn't ever hurt her. She was so very glad though when she got so frustrated he let her start responding and touching him as they finally made love, but boy did she know now not to tease him because otherwise she'd be in big trouble! Then because of also having breakfast in bed they were on the road finally to Stillwater with just a little delay!
With getting on the road that little bit later than planned they ended up stopping at a diner along the road for something to eat. As they ate Gibbs was very happy to see that Liz was at last starting to eat properly once again and he was truly hoping that this break away would do her so much good. His only hope though was that whenever rape cases came up in the future that they wouldn't effect her as bad as this one had done. Then he had a thought that perhaps now that they had each other it may not get so hard for her. As they approached Stillwater he could tell that she was getting a bit nervous and apprehensive, even if both Tony and Abby had told her that she would really love his dad because he was a really great man, she'd fall in love with him and he would fall in love with her too. Over telling Abby the reasons for going to Stillwater he'd said that it was the best thing that he could do for her, because he knew that if she got left to her own devices she wouldn't get away from it all, and that is what she really needed. Otherwise he knew that Abby would go and jump to conclusions and they would never hear the last of it. Of course with Tony knowing the truth about them he did tease them about things in private about them going off and having a dirty week off together. But joking aside he did also show the couple how much of a support he was. Not only that he did also manage to make Gibbs feel a bit odd when Tony gave him an "Don't you dare hurt her!" Speech. So because of sensing her nervousness, he pulled down a side road and stopped the car. He then gave her a kiss and said "I promise you that everything will be fine and dad will love you, just as much as I love you." Then just before driving off again he gave the top of her thigh a little squeeze and also gave her a little smile.
When they finally arrived and they got out of the car, he came round the car to join her and as he did so he took her hand and gave it a squeeze, as they then headed towards the store hand in hand. When they got inside and from the moment she saw him she knew that Tony and Abby had been right, because she did fall in love with him instantly.
That night as they fell into bed together for the first time ever she actually felt strange about them sleeping together, some of it she knew was because of knowing that Jack was just a couple of doors away from them. But also for the first time in their relationship things over Shannon hit her, especially as that room they were in had been Gibbs bedroom ever since he was a child. Then of course Jack had changed the room for when Gibbs had married Shannon and for when they had gone for a visit. She also suspected that some of it was also knowing that it was in Stillwater that he and Shannon had met. Even if she did know that both Shannon and Kelly would always be a big part of Gibbs life and had accepted it, she just couldn't work out why it was effecting her now. As he got into bed with her and pulled her into him he sensed what was going through her head, so as she laid on his chest he started stroking her shoulder gently saying "I promise you that I do want us too work, I'll really try my best not to let the past get in the way. I know that there may be times when it will do so, but I really don't want to lose you, as I do love you." As she then moves up to give him a kiss as she also strokes his chest she says "I know. It's just that I have accepted your past, just as you have done with mine. I just think that it's because of being here and close to where everything happened. Don't get me wrong as I do really love it here, I really love you too and I do really want this to work out too." As they then start to kiss and his hand starts to wander downwards he then whispers "Don't worry about dad, he sleeps like a log and he won't hear anything." As he then starts kissing behind her ear and tugging lightly on her earlobe, he does everything he can to make her feel more relaxed before they make love.
A/N: So here we go with the second part of this story, this one is just two shortish chapters of mostly fluff with Gibbs and Liz having their break in Stillwater, I also wanted to have a chance of writing Jackson also as I've not written him before! Hope you all enjoy it and I promise that the action does get going again in the next story! Xxx. D. :-)
