Chapter 9 Till our dying days

It had been three days since Jenny went under the sleeping curse and Gibbs hadn't left her side. The royal family visited them everyday and Emma kept on telling Gibbs it wasn't good for him to be near her all the time like this. One day they brought Henry along. Emma and Gibbs had the same argument but in the middle Henry said "it's only because you love her" Gibbs gave him a look. Henry had his book in his hands and said "you can break this curse you just have to kiss her".

Gibbs didn't move from his seat so Emma said "come on kid, it's no use".

The royal family then walked out but little did Gibbs know that when they closed the door they didn't move. Gibbs looked over to Jenny then stood up and sat on the bed beside her. He moved some hair out of her face and said "you better wake up Jen, or else I'll look like a fool".

He leaned down and gently placed a kiss to her lips. He moved away when a sudden bright light zoomed from her body. Outside the door the family smiled and Snow said "and it's broken".

"What's broken?" they all looked down the hall to see the team.

Emma smiled at them and said "the curse, Gibbs just broke it".

Inside the room Jenny just opened her eyes to see Gibbs. She started to caress her cheek and said "what happened?"

He told her about the curse and how he broke it but before he could say anything else she attacked him and brought her lips to his. They got lost in the moment but the next thing they heard was someone coughing. They pulled away to see the royal family and the team stood there with smirks on their faces.

The next day they were all stood at the town line saying goodbye. Before they went they were sworn the secrecy to keep the towns secret and not to reveal it not even to the people they trust the most. Everyone was already sat in the car and said there goodbyes but Gibbs had one last thing to do. He embraced Emma and said "tell them".

"I'll think about it".

Gibbs then said goodbye to Henry and they walked back to the car. Gibbs looked at Snow and Charming and said "push her. She'll tell you, you just have to push her. She was always like that when she was a kid".

He shook Charming hand and Charming said "I don't know what you did for her in the past but thank you. What ever it was I have a feeling it was something important".

Gibbs nodded and said "look after her, she's had it hard".

"Till my dying day". Gibbs then nodded and left.

That night Emma was at home happy. All the trouble was sorted out with Gibbs and he had called her and said that they already had a suspect on the murder. Henry was in bed and she was watching her favourite show when Snow and Charming sat at either side of her and Snow took the remote. She turned the TV off and Emma said "okay, why do I feel like a kid getting in trouble?"

Snow said "because this is the only way you'll tell us. What happened between you and Gibbs?"

Emma sighed and then thought what Gibbs told her. If she didn't tell her parents then they would only get further apart "I never told you where I got my last name from. Before it was Swan it was Smith, they call that to all the people who don't have names" she looked at Charming and said "you should know that" he laughed. "Anyways I got named Swan when I was 11. When I was 10 I got adopted by this really great couple. Carol and Andrew Swan. He was in the navy".

Snow said "was that how you met Gibbs?"

"Not quit. Anyway I only got named Swan when I was 11 because I thought they would send me back like all the others did, it was only after a year of living with them did I realised they cared for me. When I was 12 Andrew was abroad serving the country. Carol and I were always together she was the best mum anyone could ask for".

Charming narrowed his eyes and said "was?"

"I went to school one day, I was excited Carol promised me she would take me to this karate place to teach me some stuff before Andrew came home. Then the principle came into my class and so did a cop. They told me that Carol and Andrew both died on the way back from the airport" tears started to flow down her cheeks "it turns out they were trying to surprise me with him coming home early. They were on their way to the school when they got hit by a car".

Emma started to play with her ring and said "this is the only thing I have left of them. It was Carols the police gave it to me. They were like my parents I even called them mum and dad. After that day I didn't care anymore, the only good thing that every happened to me died that day. And I ended up back in the system"

Charming pulled her into his chest and said "you don't have to be strong. Were your family we stick together through the good and bad".

She nodded and said "till our dying days".

They both smiled at her and said "till our dying days".
