The blue Crysler pulled into the drop off point at the Uni Hospital. Gibbs opened the car door, he climbed out and looked back into the car. "McGee, I'm going in alone." Gibbs said seriously. McGee went to protest, but Gibbs stopped him, "I want you to re-team with DiNozzo and make sure he hasn't done anything stupid." McGee looked at him sullenly, Gibbs glared at him, "You got that McGee?"
"Yes boss," McGee sighed, the door slammed and the car pulled away.
Gibbs sighed as he turned to walk up the steps into the entrance. He pushed through the doors and made his way up to the patient's desk. The nurse looked up at his approach, "Yes Sir how may I help you?"
Gibbs produced his badge and ID, "Gibbs NCIS, I'm here to see a patient."
"I'm sorry Sir," The Nurse said as she looked at Gibbs, "Visiting hours are not until later."
"Which ward is Jenny Shepard of NCIS on the moment?" Gibbs said looking at her.
"She's in the Surgical Ward," The nurse said as she typed information into the computer.
"Thanks," Gibbs said as he turned away and walked in the direction of the elevators.
"Sir!" The nurse started. Gibbs turned and gave her a long stare. The nurse shrank back and Gibbs walked into the elevator.
XXXXXXXX
The elevator doors opened and Tony walked out of the elevator big grin on his face. Ziva walked out of the elevator glaring at him, McGee shook his head and grimaced. "We're not going to hear the end of this."
"Shhh, McGee" Ziva whispered.
Tony turned and grinned at them, "I was right. Just admit it David I was…" Tony words faltered as he took in the red-haired girl sitting at his desk. Tony turned to look at the other two.
"A product of a one night dance, Tony" Ziva whispered at him.
"Hahahaha, you're not funny Zee-vah," Tony muttered at her as she smiled, "Besides it's a one night stand…not a one night dance."
"Whatever!" Ziva rolled her eyes.
McGee ignored his team-mates' banter and looked past Tony and nodded towards Abby. Abby who had just come from the elevator on the other side of the bullpen with an identical red-haired girl walking beside her.
McGee and Ziva walked over to Abby. McGee looked at Abby, "Who are they?" he whispered.
"They're Ducky's granddaughters or at least that's what Jimmy said," Abby said shrugging, "He just left for the hospital and left them in Jimmy's care. But Jimmy being Jimmy lost them and he and I have been working hard to find them."
The red-head next to Abby was now looking suspiciously at Ziva. The look that she was giving Ziva reminded her of Jenny. Ziva shook her head that was impossible; she knew Jenny's background from her briefing at Mossad on Jenny when she was working in Cairo. The girl broke from Abby's side and walked round and sat down in Gibbs' seat. She was looking at McGee now, the look she was giving him made him shiver. It was a look Gibbs would give him if he wasn't doing anything. McGee moved to his desk the girl's eyes followed him.
Tony walked around behind his desk, the girl sitting at his desk was playing one of his games. "Hi?" Tony said almost questioningly.
The red head sitting at his desk looked at him, "Hello," she turned back to the game but continued to talk, "I know who you are!" As if it weren't that important, she continued, "You're Anthony or Tony," The girl continued to play the game. Tony judged her to be about age 8 or 9 but he was finding it difficult to tell. The turned to him, "My mummy says that you are sweet on Zeee…" The girl had trouble pronouncing Ziva's name, Ziva now was looking at her, eyes wide. Tony almost guffawed at the suggestion, he smirked looking at Ziva. Ziva eyebrow rose as she looked at him.
"It's Ziva," Ziva said walking over to her an odd look playing across her face, wanting to be nice but not sure, she began to add. "It's Israel…"
"Yes I know, you're a Jew!" the red-head continued in a matter of fact manner and looking smug at how much she knew. She looked at Tony and Ziva and smiled like Jenny would if she knew something, "You make the perfect couple…well that's what my mum says."
Tony confusedly looked at Ziva, she looked back at him a confused look on her face. "Excuse me," Tony muttered in the direction of the red head. He and Ziva walked over the window that overlooked the Navy Yard. "Who the heck are these two?" Tony muttered to Ziva.
"Why don't you ask them Tony?" Ziva smiled sweetly at him. Tony rolled his eyes at her, Ziva smiled at him, "You know I think it's sweet that she thinks we would make a great couple. Sounds like that you two would make a beautiful baby… allusion."
Tony did his best to hide the smile, "It's innuendo not allusion…besides who is their mummy, and how do they know so much about us?"
"Whatever…" Ziva paused to look at them both, "Why don't we ask them?
Tony's eyebrow rose, "We?"
Abby walked over to McGee who was now sitting at his desk. "You okay Timmy?" Abby asked when she saw his face.
"Yeah I'm fine," McGee nodded, yet his face still held a tinge of worry and uncertainty. McGee could no longer contain his uneasiness, he looked at the girl watching him like she was Gibbs, "I just can't get that look out of my head," he gestured to the girl. "It's as if Gibbs were sitting right there in front of me," McGee shrugged and looked at Abby, "As if she belonged there at that desk."
Abby nodded smiling at both red heads as she watched one playing on Tony's computer and the other looked at her and McGee, "Can't you see?" Abby's eyes were wide with excitement and love for the two red-haired girls in the bullpen. "They're exactly that…little Gibblets…and little Directors!"
McGee cocked and eyebrow at Abby, "How Abs?"
The elevator doors opened and Jimmy stumbled out of it. He walked quickly into the bullpen, "There you two are! I thought Doctor Mallard was going to kill me when I lost you." Tony and Ziva followed him back into the bullpen, Tony lent against the partition and Ziva lent on him.
"Sorry Jimmy," The red haired girl at Gibbs' desk said apologetically, "We promised we wouldn't leave the building. I guess we just walked off to look around when you had your back turned. We are sorry Jimmy, aren't we LJ!"
"Yeah whatever Hayley," Came Laura Jane's reply from behind Tony's computer monitor.
"Whoa, LJ?" Tony said suddenly.
XXXXXXXXX
Ducky walked along the corridor, he had already shown his ID at the Nurses station and being a Doctor anyway they had let him go down to Jenny's room outside the normal visitor's hours. He paused outside the door and was glad that he had.
"I'm sorry Jen," Gibbs was saying. Ducky peeked through the crack in the door. Jenny was fast asleep either she had been drugged or after her ordeal she was just very tired. Gibbs continued, "I don't know what I could have done to stop you or save you. You know since Paris I felt like there was a piece of me that was missing."Ducky thought that it was so unlike Gibbs to say something like that…maybe he had realised about the girls somehow. Ducky shook his head no Gibbs didn't know, it was the most secret thing that Ducky had ever known. Gibbs sighed and placed a hand on Jenny's wrist and then continued, "Then when suddenly you came back into my life I vowed to myself that I wouldn't lose you again. When you had that accident I was so damn worried I'd lost you. Took all my strength to not rip into Tony and Ziva. I still wish that Paris hadn't changed us. I miss going to dinner, seeing a movie..."Gibbs paused for a moment, "Making love to you…walking in the markets…I miss all that."
Ducky held his breath, he pulled away from the door to see a nurse looking at him suspiciously. He quietly walked over and whispered, "Its all, alright. I'm Doctor Mallard from NCIS that is my boss in there with my friend I just want to let them have a chat before I go inside."
"Oh sorry Doctor, I apologise," The nurse walked back into the ward room that she had been in.
Ducky returned to the door and Gibbs spoke again, "You know if Paris had been more then just what it was…well maybe we would be…"Gibbs shrugged and rose, "Night Jen,"Gibbs bent down an kissed her lightly on the forehead, he whispered, "I love you."
Gibbs began to move to the door Ducky scurried down the corridor and acted as if he were just reaching the door when Gibbs walked out. "Ah Jethro, how is she?"
"Okay Duck," Gibbs said he looked very tired and drained, "Doctors say that she'll make a full recovery but she'll be on crutches for at least three months. That'll be hard on her with the stairs at her place and at work."
"Yes…" Ducky looked at Gibbs and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Get some sleep Jethro, you look like you could use it."
Gibbs nodded, "Yep I'll see you back at headquarters. I'll sleep on the Autopsy table or on the Jenny's couch either way I'll be sleeping." Before Ducky could protest or telling to head home Gibbs was up the hall and round the corner heading for the elevators.
Ducky walked into the room, Jenny lay asleep and Ducky smiled at her before sitting down in the recently vacated chair Gibbs had been sitting in. "Now my dear, I did as I was instructed but I'll tell you all about it when where both wide awake…you know all this cloak and dagger stuff reminds me of a time when I was in Botswana…"
