Seven years later...
It was a typical morning for Jennifer Rose Shepard-Gibbs, kids screaming anda baby crying. Yes a baby. The nine month old baby girl Harlow December was one of the most beautiful babies ever. Her red curls and big green eyes. She was like her mom, but with some of her dad. It was the perfect combination. Then there's Jayden Jethro Gibbs, he's the only boy and he's lonely, but his sisters love him. Jayden was the baby that surprised everyone at his sisters first birthday party. And there's the mischievous twins Jacelyn Raine and Savannah Rae Gibbs. Savannah had green eyes and dark curls, Jacelyn had red hair and blue eyes. Savannah looked more like her dad and Jacelyn looked more like her mom. It was the strangest thing ever, but the best at the same time. Jenny was in her robe trying to get everyone ready before she went to work with Harlow. Jayden was seven and Jacelyn and Savannah eight.
" Savannah Rae and Jacelyn Raine come on!" Jenny hollered up the stairs.
" Mom, Harlow's crying!" Jacelyn yelled. She came out of her room and came down the stairs with her red curls bouncing. She was in blue. The shade of blue were making her eyes sparkle.
" Jace, go get Lucy so she can go out before we leave." Jenny said. Jacelyn didn't protest and went to do it.
" Jethro, can you get Jayden and Savannah for me while I get Harlow?" Jenny asked exasperated.
" Sure." He said kissing her cheek.
" Thank you." Jenny said. She ran upstairs and grabbed the crying baby.
" Mommy's got you baby." Jenny soothed. She was so done with having kids, but there was a slight possibility that there was gonna be another baby. She needed Jethro to have vasectomy. She didn't want anymore kids. Three was enough, then Harlow came into the picture. She was the biggest surprise ever.
" Mom," Savannah said coming into Harlow's nursery.
" What sweetie?"
" Jayden, cut my Barbie's hair."
"JAYDEN!!!" Jenny called him. Not hearing a response, she marched into his room to find him grinning at her, with a 'I didn't do anything' look on his face.
"Why did you cut your sister's doll's hair?" she asked; her hands on her hips.
He pouted at her. "She asked me to"
"Barbies do not talk sweetie. Now can you go and apologize to Savannah!"
" But mom," He whined.
" No buts Jayden Jethro, go tell your sister you're sorry." Jayden rolled his eyes and got up. He walked into Harlow's nursery grumbling about how life's not fair and Savannah always gets what she wants.
" I'm sorry Savannah for cutting your barbies hair." He said through gritted teeth. The little dark hair blue eyed boy stomped out of the room in a huff.
Savannah smiled. "DO NOT DO IT AGAIN PUNK"
"Savannah!" her mother warned her. "Sorry mom" she replied.
Jenny smiled. Her kids had turned her world upside down, and she loved every minute of it.
She sighed and sat down, finally taking a sip of her coffee, she allowed the taste to swim around her mouth, her taste buds enjoyed the dark liquids smoothness.
She drank the rest of the coffee and walked towards the bickering coming from her daughters room.
"What now?" she protested. She walked up the stairs and heard the fighting get louder.
" Oh come on Jace, that's what's gonna happen." Savannah yelled.
" Mom isn't!"
" Jace, mom will. You know it!"
" Jacelyn Raine and Savannah Rae Gibbs, down stairs now!" Jenny bellowed.
"Moooooom" they moaned.
"NOW!" Jenny shouted, scaring herself in the process.
The girls immediately came down stairs; bumping onto each other.
"Could you ALL be nice please? I mean it's not a lot to ask!" Jacelyn and Savannah rolled their eyes.
" What did you two do now?" Gibbs asked.
" Nothing daddy." Jacelyn answered quickly.
" Jacelyn Raine." He said.
" Jethro, don't even think about pulling it out of them. I'm doing that." Jenny said holding Harlow. She shoved Harlow at him before proceeding to yell at Jacelyn and Savannah.
" Mom that's so unfair." Savannah said.
" Savannah Rae, life's not fair. Now go get your selves finished while I get something else on." Jenny said. She ran upstairs and through on sweats and sweat shirt before getting all the kids and Harlow in the car. She gave Gibbs a kiss goodbye knowing that she wouldn't see him until work. She came home to a quiet house. No kids screaming. Nothing. She put on her black suit with the hot pink pin striped pants and her favorite hot pink blouse. For a woman who had had four kids she looked good. She slipped on her pumps and finished her hair before leaving the house. She got to work and went straight to her office. She looked at the pictures that sat on her desk. Jacelyn and Savannah. Jayden. Then Harlow. The single one of her and Jethro was her favorite. Their
wedding day. She was five months pregnant with Jayden and it was the fairytale wedding she'd always dreamed of.
" Jen." He said walking through the door.
" Yeah." She answered those green eyes of hers sparkling.
"Are you alright sweetheart?"
She nodded and confirmed that she was okay by rushing towards him and wrapping her arms around him. Their lips connected in what seemed to be the sweetest yet most passionate kiss. When their lips separated, their gazed into each others eyes and saw the love they had for one another.
"Four kids and we still got it Mrs Gibbs" he winked and gave her a final kiss before exiting the room with her following behind.
" Jethro," She said.
" Yeah Jen."
" Four kids, a second chance, and we still got it."
He lightly chuckled and nodded with agreement and finally walked out.
~*~*~*~*~*~**~
The morning had gone rather well in Jenny's view, apart from the murdered marine officer they had in their hands. She smiled when his name appeared on her phone's screen.
"Hey Handsome" she said.
"Hey, wha'cha doing?"
"Going through some paper work and talking to you" she grinned; she balanced the phone in between her shoulder and ear and continued to type away on her keyboard.
"I'm still stuck at the crime scene with DiNozzo and David" he sighed. "I miss you Jen"
"I miss you too Jethro" she replied.
" So, when do the kids get off today?"
" At..." She said looking at the clock. " Right about now. Henry, Zane, Jacelyn, Savannah, Jayden, Hannah, and Bella should be up here soon."
" Alright, well I love you and see you soon."
" Love you too, Jethro." Jenny said before she hung up. She sighed. Harlow was sitting on the floor in her office because Jenny missed her baby.
" Lets go see Abby baby girl." Jenny cooed picking up Harlow. They'd picked Harlow's name just because.
The small child started to giggle with no reason which made her laugh more.
"Mommy can see you're going to be the joker of the family" she beamed. They walked down to Abby's lab. The Goth only had two children while Ziva and Tony had three. Zane, Bella, and Adelaide.
" Hey Abs." Jenny said smiling.
" Hi Jenny. Hi Harlow." Abby said. She took a sip of her Caf-pow, which made Jenny laugh. "Oh I love you Abs"
Abby glanced at Jenny with confusion. She shrugged and returned the love by hugging her. "Love you too" Harlow let out a giggle.
" Jeez, Jenny, what did you give her?" Abby joked.
" Nothing." Jenny laughed.
Which caused the baby to laugh once more. "I swear I've not given her anything" Jenny said.
Just then McGee entered the room followed by Tony. They stopped talking when they noticed Harlow's laughter.
"What did you give her?" McGee also joked.
"Nothing"
"Yes, the baby is only laughing at your face McFunny" Tony joked.
" Children behave." Ducky said.
" Where's Gibbs and Ziva?" Jenny asked.
" Right here." Gibbs said followed by the posse.
" Mom!" Jacelyn and Savannah said giving her hug; while the other's went to their parents.
Moments later, when everyone had greeted one another. Savannah started giggling when she looked at her sister.
Jacelyn, glared at her and whispered for her to stop through gritted teeth.
Jenny noticed this and asked, what had happened.
"Jace has a boyfriend" she giggled.
"SHUT UP!" Jacelyn ordered.
"WHAT?" Jenny and Gibbs exclaimed. "You're just a kid" Gibbs commented.
She looked from side to side, glaring at her sister in the process. "I don't."
"Yes she does, I saw them holding hands" Savannah grinned.
"No you didn't"
" Yeah I did."
" Oh you're so dead!" Jacelyn screamed running after Savannah. Jacelyn finally caught up to her and tackled her.
" Jacelyn Raine and Savannah Rae Gibbs! That is enough!" Jenny yelled over the loud grunts.
The girls stop almost immediately and glanced at their mother, whose hands were on her hips. "She started it" Jacelyn whined.
"OH whoopde dee do Jace, quit being such a daddy's girl" Savannah commented, after she straightened her hair out.
"What happened to you two, you used to be so close girls, and now you're even worse than Jayden, at least he has the excuse of being younger than you two, but please. Stop fighting, I want you to apologize to each other AND mean it!" Jennifer Gibbs said.
The girls turned to each other. "You say sorry first" Jacelyn said.
"No way!"
"Then I'm not saying it!" JAcelyn said as she crossed her arms.
"GIRLS" Yelled Gibbs, his anger was evident, and for the first time in their live's they knew, he was seriously angry at them.
" Dad, it was Savannah's fault."
"I do NOT care, both off you apologize immediately!"
"Sorry Jacelyn ya know I love you sis"
"Apology accepted and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tackled you" They shared a little sisterly hug.
