Chapter 2
When Gibbs woke up the next morning, a feeling of dread dawned on him, he remembered everything. A part of him, such a huge part wished it had all been a dream, but he knew, he just knew it wasn't.
He woke up, with Jenny in his arms, on her couch in her office. He could feel her steady breathing, her body heat; he could smell that tempting and gorgeous smell that was Jenny. It felt so good to be holding her again. And god help him, he needed to tell her how he felt, if she was going to… he just had to tell her, he couldn't put it off any longer. There wasn't enough time now.
But he let her sleep. Looking at the clock in her office, it read 5:30am. They had time. Gibbs always had been an early riser.
So he lay, and watched her. Her fiery red hair, that had now reached shoulder length, he'd always liked it longer, and pale, delicate face. She looked beautiful, and peaceful.
After a little while, she began to stir.
Gibbs gently brushed a stray curl of her stunning, striking red hair off her face as she gently and drowsily woke up.
"What happened last night?" She asked stretching.
He did a famous Gibbs, half smile.
"Nothing like that Jen, you told me." He said, his face suddenly falling.
"How much did I tell you?" She said still groggy.
"You mean, there's more than "I have cancer"?" He asked softly, in a panic.
She propped her self up, and took a minute or two to wake up.
"Jen?" He urged her to continue.
There were more tears in her eyes, like enough hadn't been spilt in the past evening.
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry that you have cancer, I know, so am I. But there's treatments, thing you can do, surgery and-"
God, what had she done by telling him? This wasn't Jethro, this desperate man in front of her. But he had always told her, "Everything's different when it comes to you Jen." He had been joking at the time, but maybe he was also being deadly serious…
"It's untreatable," she said, barely above a whisper.
"How long?"
"About six months." She said slowly, yet another tear falling.
Gibbs crushed his lips to hers, he had waited too long to do that.
"I tell you I have six months to live and you kiss me," she said as they finally broke apart.
"I couldn't wait any longer not doing it then could i?" He said, tears also shimmering in his eyes.
"I suppose not, no." Jenny said bring a hand up to his cheek.
"Which means I hadn't better put this off either, I love you Jen, I never stopped loving you."
Tears that refused to cease stopped her from talking. But their eyes spoke it all.
They really couldn't deal with all this emotion, at this time in the morning.
Please review. Like i said it means a lot to me. It's also depressing to write... but hey. It's also kinda good to.
Please review
