She flung the pants away angrily, the button still in her hand as it had fallen off in her haste to get dressed. She ran around her bedroom, finding clothes scattered everywhere. The shirt she had wanted to wear today, the first sunny day of spring, was not matching with anything she could find. Finally she found a skirt that fit and matched and pulled it hastily up her thighs.
Ten minutes behind schedule already at the beginning of her day, what a great start, she thought to herself as she grabbed her cell phone after giving her driver orders.
"Cynthia, please notify my nine o'clock that I'll be fifteen minutes late." Jenny informed her secretary.
"I will Director Shepard. And I will tell Special Agent Gibbs that as well, he is waiting for you." Cynthia told her.
"Put him on the phone!"
"Where the hell are you?" a deep male voice yelled into the phone, resulting in Jenny holding the phone at arms length.
"Well good morning to you to Jethro, I'm on my way in, had a little bit of wardrobe trouble but figured it out so don't wor… - why am I explaining myself to you, we don't have an appointment, I'm not late for a meeting with you. Talk with Cynthia and book an appointment with her uhm…. after my doctor's appointment." Jenny said while flipping through her day planner.
"A fashion crisis is why you're being late? Wait, doctor's appointment? Jen are you alright?" His sarcasm changed quickly to worry.
"Relax Jethro just an annual checkup, I should have had one three months ago but didn't have the time for it so now I finally got an appointment scheduled so… - again why am I letting you in on all this? I will see you soon Jethro." And then she hung up shaking her head.
Fifteen minutes later she entered the bullpen with fresh coffee in one hand and her briefcase in the other, she quickly said her good mornings and hurried towards and up the stairs. Half way up the briefcase slipped out of her hands and it fell a few steps back down, she stopped her pace upstairs and breathed out heavy, then turned to get her briefcase, she kneeled down and collected all the different papers that had escaped from it. Once back into their right place and the case securely locked again she rose, only to be hit by a spell of dizziness, she dropped her coffee and grabbed for the railing.
"Jen, I got you, relax and breathe slowly." Jethro was holding her even before her hand had reached the railing.
"Whoa, I think I got up a little to fast there." Jen smiled at him once she was able to focus again, trying to brush off the incident as normal, to ease the worry she saw in his eyes.
"Take it easy ok, don't want to collect you at the bottom of the stairs next time! Ok!" Gibbs exclaimed while escorting her upstairs to her office. Making sure she had a glass of water, and was safely in her chair before he left her.
Throughout the day Gibbs and his team looked up towards the Directors office several times, and a short while past lunch time, she emerged from her office and walked down to the bullpen dropping files on several different desks, stopping in front of Gibbs desk, dropping down six heavy case files.
"Special Agent Gibbs, I expect these case reports to be readable when I return, thank you!" Her director voice told him, but the eyes of Jenny smiled a knowing smile at him, when he simply nodded.
"You leaving now Jen?" He questioned with a smirk.
"Yes, but as I told you just now, and earlier this morning, I will return later." With that she turned and left.
She was sitting in her doctors office waiting for the results of her complete physical, and the whole time the doctor was taking she was beginning to go against her choice to have another doctor instead of Ducky. But she needed to have someone else do these things or Jethro would know everything about her before she would, when her period was on its high, when she last had sexual intercourse, her stress level yes well everything, she needed privacy in this matter, coz it wouldn't just be Jethro who would know it would be his entire team.
Finally the door opened and Dr. Dubris entered, he looked at her with a smile before returning his eyes to his papers.
"Well Doctor, am I dying or what?" She tried to joke.
"I would go with the or what. When was the last time you saw a doctor?" He inquired when he sat down behind the large desk.
"Oh uhm I think that must have been in October last year, when Ducky made sure my shoulder had healed nicely." She shared with a hint of a child being scolded for doing something wrong.
"Have you experienced any changes, anything different since…uhm January?" The doctor raised his eyebrows while asking.
"I'm sorry doctor I work all day, sometimes all night as well, I even sometimes go 2-3 days without any decent sleep, I don't really notice if something is out of it's ordinary. Not even my monthly cycle comes as it should."
"Well Ms Shepard, that is normal when you screw up the body's normal rhythm, then you no longer have a timetable for when what comes. But I was more interested in knowing, like dizziness, feeling ill, headaches anything like that really?"
"Uhm I have had a few dizzy spells in the past few weeks but nothing major, I think the worst case I had of that, was this morning, but I was having a stressful morning, running late, so I just put it down to that. Why, what's wrong doctor?" She eyed him suspiciously.
"I have a few more questions? Are you currently in a relationship?"
"No, as I told you before my work schedule is packed and doesn't really give me a lot of time to socialize either."
"Well there are several different sorts of relationships, how about a pure need-covering-relationship? I think my teenage boys would call that a booty call." the good doctor shared with a slight smile, which Jenny joined in on before answering a little nervous.
"No, and what would make that any of your business anyway?" She now folded her arms in front of her chest.
"Ms. Shepard, you are three maybe even four months pregnant."
