"DiNozzo, McGee, Shepard!" Gibbs yelled, walking into the bullpen, his oh-so-familiar cup of coffee in his right hand. Jenny was about to go up to him, talk about his night...
When a recognizable redhead steps out of the elevator behind him.
"Good morning!" she said sweetly. Obviously Diane was in a good mood. Jenny smiled.
"Diane, I think Abby said that she needed to talk with you," she said. Diane, without question, dropped her purse down and headed for the elevator. She was in a good mood as a matter of fact. Her husband had taken her dancing last night. And he was able to waltz quite well. So why shouldn't she be happy?
"Tony, McGee...go with her." Jenny ordered. The two men looked at her, slightly confused, but followed nonetheless. As the elevator doors closed, Jenny turned to face Gibbs.
"So?"
"So what?" he replied.
"Did she like it?" wondered Jenny. Gibbs scoffed.
"Like it? Hell, she loved it. She even told me that I was acting like a real husband." Gibbs muttered. Jenny smirked, covering her mouth to hide a laugh.
"I'm happy for you."
Gibbs looked at the woman in front of him. She was gorgeous, and evidently cared about him. Almost unconsciously, he wrapped his arms around her tightly. Jenny returned the hug, cautiously, but welcomed.
"Thank you."
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Emily, honey? Did you wash your hands?" Jenny's daughter stood in the kitchen later that night.
"Yeah mommy!" Emily said brightly. Her mom smiled.
"Alright, sit down for supper." She served them, and began to eat. No sooner had she sat down then the doorbell rang. "I got it. You keep eating." Jenny ran to the door and opened it.
"Jethro..." Jenny greeted, surprised to see him. He nodded at her, and walked through the door. "Come in..." she muttered sarcastically. Gibbs shot her a smirk.
"Am I interrupting?"
"No...we're just having supper," said Jenny, wiping her hands on her jeans. "Uh, have you eaten?" He shook his head, and Jenny took that as her invitation to lead him into the kitchen.
"Does Diane ever feed you?" she joked, watching him quickly begin to eat. Emily eyed him, but decided not to say anything. "Oh, Emily, this is Gibbs remember? Mommy's boss?" Gibbs snorted at her wording, and Jenny rolled her eyes. They finished their dinner in silence.
"Mom?" Emily wondered.
"Yeah hon?" Jenny said.
"Is Gibbs going to watch Beauty and the Beast with us?" Jenny looked at Gibbs.
"Ask him," said Jenny with a smile.
"Are you?" the seven year old repeated. Gibbs shrugged.
"Got nowhere better to be. If your mom wants me here."
"Stay." Jenny said.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Ten minutes later, Gibbs, Jenny, and Emily sat on the couch watching Beauty and the Beast. They had opened a bottle of wine, and were watching the rose petals fall.
"Why did you come here tonight?" Jenny asked, taking a sip of her wine.
"Shh!" Emily said. The adults smiled. Gibbs leaned closer to her and sighed. "Diane and I are getting a divorce."
