Chapter 5
Gibbs just stood there in shock, not being able to make a single move. Within seconds the entire team was looking at him with question looks on their faces. They haven's seen their boss like this before. The fear in his eyes made everyone else notice that something very, very bad had happened. After a long minute of silence Gibbs stormed towards the elevator without saying a single word. The team immediately followed.
When they reached the main entrance, they all saw a picture that scared the hell out of them. A little further down the street there was their new Director's SUV. Just a bunch of twisted steel, to be more precise. The ambulance was already preparing to leave, but what really made them forget to breathe was the lifeless body on the ground near the SUV. The body was covered with sheets soaked in blood. They slowly headed toward the scene, preparing themselves for the worst. When the arrived, a Metro cop asked them to leave, but then without a word, Gibbs showed his badge and walked under the crime-scene tape. The others just copied his actions. He went to the body and kneeled down so he could remove the sheets but realized he couldn't. Then he looked up and starred at the Metro cop who stood beside the body. At that the cop realized what he needed to do, so he said "The body belongs to unknown female, late thirties" as he heard those word Jethro swallowed hard and tears threatened to escape his beautiful aqua blue eyes "pretty girl, blonde!" the Metro cop finished.
At this Jethro let out his breath as a sign of relief "What happened to the woman from the SUV?" he managed to ask few seconds later.
"They took her to Bethesda since she is Director of NCIS!" the Metro cop said and walked to one of his detectives for update.
"Let's role!" Gibbs shouted at his still shocked team.

The drive to Bethesda passed in silence, because everyone was gathering their thoughts and hoping that Jenny is alright. When they got there, Gibbs immediately went to the reception desk and asked the nurse about the condition of Jennifer Shepard. Then he saw the clock that said 12:15 a.m. When she heard this the lead nurse approached him "Are you Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Sir?"
"Yes!"
"I have to show you something, please follow me!"
The nurse led him trough the maze of halls and waiting rooms to a small room with pale pink painted walls and a single window. The window was covered with curtains. The nurse just opened the curtains for Jethro to see the two most beautiful creatures he had ever seen. Two baby girls wrapped in light pink blankets and sleeping in a same curb, holding hands. They had pink hospital bracelets on their hands with some serial numbers on. He couldn't take his eyes off of them. They were just too beautiful and he couldn't get enough of them. After couple of minutes starring at the babies, he turned to the nurse with a question look on his face.
"Congratulations, Sir, you have two healthy girls and your wife is fine, but asleep now!" the nurse said walking to the door.
"Which room?" he asked as the nurse reached the door.
"503!" she said and left.
Jethro spent another five minutes starring at his newborn daughters before he went to find Jenny's room.
Once he did, he walked inside as quietly as possible being careful not to wake her up. She was more beautiful than before and she got one of her high voltage smiles (one of her most powerful weapons against him) on her face even though she was asleep.
He walked to the bed and sat down on a chair beside it. He took Jenny's hand in his and caressed it like it was the most precious thing in the world. Shortly after Jenny slowly opened her eyes to find Jethro sitting beside her.
"Jethro…!" Jenny's voice spread across the room.
"Hey!" he said his smile growing.
"Where are they?" came Jenny's weak voice again.
"They are okay and the nurse is bringing them over as we speak!" Jethro said placing a single kiss on Jenny's forehead.
At that Jen just smiled and when she looked up she saw the nurse entering the room with two babies in her arms. When she reached the bed she placed the babies into Jenny's embrace and left.
"They are so beautiful!" Jenny said as she started to melt.
"I haven't seen anything this gorgeous in my entire life, Jen!" Jethro sad lifting the younger girl "And by the way the nurse said something about the time of birth!"
"What?"
"The older girl is born on 23rd two minutes before midnight and the younger one is on 24th three minutes after midnight and she also said that something like this is happening 'once in a blue moon'!"
"Really? How are we going to name them?" Jenny asked realizing that they never discussed this before.
"I don't know!"
"First, we have to find a way to recognize them!" Jenny said as the older girl in her arms started to open her eyes.
"This beauty has blue eyes!" Jethro said watching his younger daughter's blue eyes which were exact the same as his.
"And this one has green!" Jenny said happily.
"Have you got a name for her?"
"I think I do!" Jenny said "what do you think about Tamara Shepard Gibbs?"
"I love it, and what do you think about Christina Shepard Gibbs?" Jethro asked kissing his daughter's forehead.
"Christina Shepard Gibbs it is!" Jenny agreed.
Shortly after the whole team was inside the room congratulating to Gibbs and Jen and passing the babies around besides it was 03:00 a.m.
