Chap. 6

Now ending her second trimester, she was just showing a little but still enough to make it difficult to hide. Secnav was informed of her current situation, and he had told her that so far he didn't see her being pregnant as a problem, but of course she would be the one who had to make a decision about her own position. He had told her that he didn't see a problem with her becoming a mother and three months leave would be provided after she had given birth, he wouldn't want to loose her as director.

Jethro and Jen hadn't spoken privately since the ultrasound. She hadn't wanted to because since that day, his girlfriend had been dropping by even more frequently than before. Always at his desk when Jen had summoned up her courage to tell him how the pregnancy was going, or whenever the baby was very active and she had wanted to share the movement, that woman had been standing by his desk or they were standing with their arms around each other. She felt more than alone, she had shared this future adding of the NCIS with Jethro, her doctor, her maid and Secnav, and since Jethro wasn't speaking to her, she didn't have anyone to share her experience or heartache with. She was more than emotional at the moment, and the current case of a missing child wasn't easy on her, and another case of newly weds being separated, by death, even before their lives as married couple had begun, made her silently cry in her office or at home. And the pressure of the expected appearance at the White House Annual Ball, along with everything else, had her nerves on the outside of her cloth.

He hadn't wanted to speak with her, because he didn't know how he should tackle this, he was going to be a father again. This time to a boy. He was ecstatic and smiled wide every time he thought about it, much to the annoyance of his girlfriend, because when she asked he brushed it away, and told her it was nothing. And he didn't want to speak to Jen, because he still hadn't figured out how to break things of with his current girlfriend and he had trouble looking in Jen's direction, afraid he would hurt her further. He knew she was looking at him, he felt her looking at him almost every day, and when he noticed she started showing he wanted nothing more than to place a hand protectively over their child, to feel the movement that undoubtedly was there from time to time. When Jen came into the office looking like something the cat dragged in, he wanted nothing more than to take her into his arms and tell her that everything would be alright. But as long as he hadn't stopped seeing Karen, he couldn't face Jenny.

Three days before the White House Annual Ball, Jethro was asked to a meeting in Jen's office, he dreaded it already before the words had passed Cynthia's lips. But he also knew better than to disobey Jen's order. So on time and with a hand ready to knock on her door he went up to her office.

"Agent Gibbs please take a seat!" She motion for him to take place opposite her desk, where she herself was seated, a good foot further from the desk edge Gibbs noticed.

"Director!" He shortly greeted and took place.

"As you are aware, I'm wanted at the White House Annual Ball on Friday, and I'm in need of protection detail, and since your team has been able to get out of weekend duty for over two months, you and your team are to act as my detail on Friday, understood?" she was 100% director, it wasn't even a real question when she had finish her order, it was more a statement, and he didn't dare contradict her so he simply nodded.

"Fine Jen, I'll notify my team!" He said and started to get up.

"You, are to escort me as well as be my detail. Are you in need of a tuxedo or will you be able to fit into the one you have?" She asked without looking up from the file she was holding.

"I fit into my tux fine Jen, I'm not the one growing every day!" He snapped at her and regretted it the second the words left his mouth.

"Jethro!" She pleaded looking at him.

"I know….uhm….you know what I mean!" and then he stormed out the door.

She looked at the now closed door, and sighed heavily just as wild movement began under her left hand that was resting on her bulge. She felt tears starting to press, she quickly grabbed something to dab her eyes with and returned to her work, her hand from time to time drifting down when the movement was to much to not focus on.

When evening approached Jen came out of her office and hurried down the stairs and over to Gibbs' table, he didn't look up he just slowly continued looking at his computer screen.

"On Friday you are expected to be at my house at 7 pm, the car will pick you up at your house at 6.30 pm, so be ready!" she spat and started leaving.

"What colour?" He said coldly

"Excuse me?" she turned quickly, a little too quickly, a dizzy spell washed over her and she tried to grab hold of Ziva's desk. She knocked over the lamp before Jethro was holding her upright.

"You need to learn this if you move to fast you'll get dizzy and if you keep up the expanding I won't be able to catch you or hold you up!" He smirked as he noticed that one of his hands was gracing her abdomen.

"What did you mean about the colour?" she asked swiftly while pushing his hands of her.

"My carnation?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at her, disappointed that she had brushed his hands of.

"I will make sure that our colour coordination runs smoothly, just be on time, good night!" with that statement she turned more slowly and walked fast to the elevator.

Once inside the elevator, she let the chills of him touching her belly wash over her, she felt warm and cozy, loving the fact that he had just graced her side, and without a doubt felt the expansion of her midsection, their child.
