The sounds of nature, made Jenny's eyes open. She glanced at the sun that crept into their room and smiled. It's a beautiful day; she thought.
She turned around and noticed the other half of the bed empty. She frowned and started to panic. 'What if it was all a dream? What if there is no Gibbs and twin girls?' her emotional side of the brain argued. 'Don't be silly Jenny! Of course it was real' argued the logical side.' She slipped into a sweatshirt and sweat pants and then walked down stairs. The smell of maple syrup and pancakes filled the down stairs hallway. She walked into the kitchen, and noticed her baby girls in the bouncy seats sitting in there sleeping and Gibbs cooking. She gave a sigh of relief. She walked over to Gibbs to get a glance at what he was doing. Pancakes filled the plate he was holding and eggs and sausage were already done.
" You decided to make breakfast with the girls?"
"Yeah" he smiled. "You looked peaceful, we didn't want to wake you up" he said and walked towards her and placed a gentle kiss on to her forehead.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked her.
She nodded and smiled at the girls. She kissed them on their heads and then walked around them. She started laughing when she noticed the pure look of concentration on Jacelyn's face as she covered her head with maple syrup. "Err Jethro? Could you give me a wet wipe please" she laughed. She wiped the two week old's face off before she did something else.
" How did she do that?"
" I don't know."
"Never in my life have I seen a two week old baby doing that." he said in amazement. Jenny continued to laugh.
"So any plans for the day" he asked her.
Jenny looked at a spot in the kitchen as her mind virtually went through her planner. "Nope, I think I'm just going to be taking the girls for a walk in the park"
He nodded. "That's great. Can I come?" he asked.
"Don't you have work to do?" sh replied as she smiled at the girls that were staring at her.
" Jen." He said.
" We'll be fine. I can handle it. Maybe later the girls and I will come up and say hi."
"Fine." he sighed. He mad his way to their room and retrieved his work shoes along with a NCIS jacket. He walked back in the kitchen and kissed both girls on the forehead."Be the good little angels I know you are for your mommy" he then walked towards Jenny and kissed her softly on the lips, lingering for a few seconds.
"I'll call you." he said and left for work. She sighed. The girls were looking up at her in awe. It wasn't going to be that hard. She walked into her study and set up a blanket on the floor, she grabbed Savannah then Jacelyn and put them on the blanket.
"Mommy just has to check her emails and send one to her boss, and then we can go for a walk, what do you girls think of that?" she smiled. She nodded her head one and said 'Yup that's exactly what I what I think'. She sat down at the desk, and logged in. Her background was one of the girls in their polka dot dresses. She smiled then sent an email to SecNav.
Moments later she sighed. "Okay mommy is now done" she smiled when she saw the girls asleep next to one another. They looked so cute. Jacelyn had her hand on top of Savannah's. She grabbed the camera that she left in the study a snapped a couple pictures.
" Daddy's gonna be sad that he missed this." She said quietly making sure she didn't wake the girls up. Just as she was about to leave the room to retrieve a drink, she heard a small cry, turning around she smiled when she noticed Jace wide eyes. "hello gorgeous" she whispered with glee. She picked her up and cradled her.
" Lets, go get mommy's drink." Reaching the kitchen, she retrieved a glass from the cupboard and filled it with cold ice tea. She then turned to Jace who was looking around the room in amazement."are you hungry?" she asked. The young baby looked at her mothers direction with a kind of puzzled look on her face. Just then the sounds of loud cries filled the speakers of the baby monitor. Jenny sighed and put Jacelyn in the bouncy seat before going to go get Savannah. She picked up the screaming baby and immediately settled down when in her mother's arms. She put Savannah next to Jacelyn in her bouncy seat.
" So you guys know crying gets mommy's attention don't ya?" Jacelyn and Savannah just looked at her.
" Mommy loves you guys lots, but she does need a break every once in awhile."
" We might go see daddy and everybody if you little ones behave. Can you be good for mommy for a little bit." She looked at them and smiled.
"Okay let's go and get dressed, and then we can go for a walk in the park and then make our way to see daddy and everyone" she told them and gently grabbed each girl onto her embrace and walked to their room.
"What shall you wear today? A little dress or pants?" Jenny looked outside and smiled when she noticed the beautiful sunshine, sparkling the roads and trees.
"Dress it is" she grinned. She set the girls down on the changing table and started looking through their closet. She found it. A pleated polka dot dress. It was white with black, orange, hot pink, and olive green polka dots. The little sleeves and neck were outlined with a small stripe of hot pink. She grabbed both of the ones for the girls. The best part about having twin girls is you get dress them all the time in matching outfits. She slipped one of the dresses over Savannah's head then Jacelyn's head. She buttoned them up and then slipped the diaper cover on. She grabbed the girls and then took them down stairs.
After sorting out, the girls onto their chairs, she reached for the keys and cell phone and sighed before she left for the walk in the park. She walked around for awhile and the girls were nice and calm. Savannah and Jacelyn had seemed to be enjoying it. Jenny sat down on a park bench and looked at the girls.
" Do you want to go see daddy?" She cooed.
As always the girls did not answer her, but only made the tiniest little noises. Her smile grew wider. "I take that as a yes" she laughed. She got up and started walking towards her car. She got the girls in then folded up the stroller and put it in the trunk. She climbed into the drivers seat and pulled out to go to the Navy yard.

Walking through the headquarters of the NCIS, Jenny was made to stop walking within each minute, by the workers of NCIS. They couldn't believe how much like Jenny the girls looked. "They are gorgeous!" exclaimed a young looking agent.
"Thanks Samantha" she smiled back.
Just as she was about to reach the elevator, she heard her name being called and turned around to face the caller. She vaguely recognized the agent's face as she walked towards her. Jenny squinted her eyes towards the agent's name tag and smiled. They stood there and chatted for a few moments before the agent had to leave. "Miss Sheppard, they are beautiful" she stated.
"Thanks Emily" Jenny replied and got inside the waiting elevator. As the doors closed she sighed. She took it to the third floor and walked to where Gibbs was. He looked up and smiled.
" So, I assume they were good?" He asked.
" Yeah. Where's Ziva and everyone else?"
" They should be here now." Just then Abby, McGee, Tony, and Ziva walked into the bullpen. Abby squealed when she saw the stroller with the girls in it.
" You brought them!" Abby exclaimed.
" Abs, shh." Jenny said. Abby quieted down. Then a wail came from Savannah.
" Nice going Abs." Tony said. Abby punched him. Jenny unbuckled Savannah and took her out.
" Hey, it's okay." Jenny said quietly bouncing her.
Both Ziva and Tony gazed at each other and smiled. "Doesn't she just looks like a natural?" he whispered. Ziva nodded with a smile and walked towards Jenny.
"Can I hold her?" Ziva asked. Jenny smiled and gently gave her the baby.
"Hello Savannah" she cooed."Have you been a good girl for your mommy?"
"She is always a good girl for me" Gibbs got Jacelyn out when he heard her whimpering. Jacelyn looked up at him like 'you aren't mom'. He handed Jacelyn to Jenny before she started crying.
" So, Jenny, do you feel different?" Abby asked.
" Yeah. I'm tired all the time. Having the girls is pretty awesome though."
"I bet it is" Ziva commented. Tony smiled and wrapped his arms around her. "We will have one soon" he whispered.
Jenny watched the partners and smiled. "Anyways, I shall go and see my Jethro"
" Abs, can you take Jace?" Jenny asked. Abby nodded quickly her pigtails bouncing crazily. Jenny rolled her eyes smiling and handed the baby to her.
" Mommy'll be right back." Jenny whispered to them and then walked away to go find Jethro. She found him hanging out by one of the elevators. She came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him.
She then kissed the back of his neck. "Hey Jethro, did you miss me?" she whispered between the kisses.
"I miss you, even when you are in the same room as me" he stated and turned around to face her. He then wrapped his arms around her and brought her in closer. His lips made contact with hers, as they devoted in a sweet and gentle kiss. "I love you" they said, at the same time.
"I love you too" they repeated each others words once more, and began to laugh. Jenny rested her head against his chest. He kissed the top of her head and they stood like that for awhile. It was perfect. They had their daughters and themselves. Nothing could get in the way.
