Author notes: sorry I didn't post before I went on holiday but I was super busy. Kate and Gibbs aren't really brother and sister they just didn't want Jenny thinking Kate was his wife and so Gibbs could still flirt with Jen. It's in the film. Please review and tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 5

Gibbs walked back into the class room. All of the kids were running around screaming. Well all but one.

Tim was sitting in the corner. As the little boy reached up to grab a book from the shelve above him the sleeve on his t-shirt rose and Gibbs caught a glimpse of what he thought was a bruise.

Gibbs grew concerned. He walked over to Tim and crouched down to his level. "Tim, how did you get that bruise?" Gibbs asked in a small calm voice, so he wouldn't scare the shy child.

"I fell down the stairs" Tim mumbled in a small shy voice. Gibbs nodded. He really needed to talk to his mother.

He then rounded the children up and they spent the rest of the afternoon rehearsing for the play they were going to have to perform at the upcoming school fate.

The bell rang and the parents started to arrive to collect their children. Gibbs noticed Tim walk over to a woman so he suspected that was his mother. Gibbs walked over.

"Hi I'm Mr Gibbs Tim's kindergarten teacher I wondered if I could speak to you for a moment" Gibbs said guiding the women to his desk.

"Of course" the women said with a smile.

"I was wondering if we could talk about Tim's father" Gibbs said. He noticed Mrs McGee's face drop slightly and a mixture of anger, worry and guilt build up in her eyes.

"He's taking classes on how to better to control his anger, were sorting it so please just stay out of it" Mrs McGee said with tears forming in her eyes. She got up out of the chair and grabbed Tim before more or less running out of the class room.

Gibbs put his head in his hands.

"Rough day?" A voice asked beside him.

Gibbs looked over to where the voice came from a smiled when he saw that it was Tony standing there with the grin he always seemed to wear. He had only known and spoken to Tony for a little while but he already felt that he had really grown to like Tony and most defiantly grown to like his mother.

"You could say that" Gibbs mumbled in return.

Gibbs and Tony talked for a while before Jenny came into the classroom.

Jenny stood for a moment watching as Gibbs and Tony chatted and laughed together. She was surprised that this man who looked tough on the outside had such a soft spot for children.

After a moment she decided to speak "Hey Tony, you ready to go" She said. Tony nodded before he ran over to Jenny who helped him put his coat on.

"See you tomorrow Mr Gibbs" Tony said with a smile.

"See yah champ" Gibbs said with a smile.

"Good night Jethro" Jenny said while Tony put his back pack on.

"Night Jen" Gibbs said with a small smile and wave before Jenny and Tony left.

Gibbs went home and was sitting on his sofa drinking a beer when Kate waltzed in.

"So how was your day, any luck on that lead?" Kate said grabbing herself a beer and sitting on the arm of the chair.

"The lead was wrong it turns out the kids dad has anger management problems and takes it out on the kid" Gibbs said taking another swig of his beer.

"That's not good" Kate responded. "So how are things with you and Jenny" Kate added.

"She invited me to dinner" Gibbs said.

Kate broke out in a smile. "Your falling in love with her aren't you…aren't you?"

"What…no" Gibbs said trying to hide the blush that was creeping up his neck.

"It's ok if you are, Gibbs, I mean everyone deserves a love life" Kate said with a smirk before setting the bottle down on the coffee table and walking out.

Saturday came slower than expected. He had spent the rest of the week trying to teach the children about the four fathers and they were slowly but surely getting there.

Jenny was very nervous and she didn't even know why. She wasn't really sure what had come over her when she had asked Gibbs to dinner but to her surprise he had wanted to. There was something about him she found interesting, was it the secrets she could tell he was hiding behind his eyes? Or maybe the fact that he was a big gruff man that ended up being a kindergarten teacher?

Gibbs arrived a little after seven dressed in casual jeans and a polo shirt and jacket. He knocked on the door and in a matter of minutes the door opened to Jenny wearing casual jeans and a light blue shirt.

"Hey" Jenny said gesturing for Gibbs to walk into the house.

"Hi" Gibbs said handing her a bottle of wine.

"Thanks" Jenny said looking at the bottle. "I hope you like steak" Jenny said as they walked into the kitchen.

"Love it" Gibbs said with a smile.

"What would you like to drink; water, juice, wine bourbon?" Jenny asked.

"Bourbon would be great thanks" Gibbs said with a smile. Was this women perfect or what?

While Jenny went to get them a drink Tony came running in to greet Gibbs.

Tony came rushing in wearing cargo pants and a red t-shirt.

"Mr Gibbs" Tony greeted him.

"Tony, were not at school, you can just call me Gibbs" Gibbs said in return.

Jenny came back with the drinks and then before they knew it dinner was ready.

Gibbs sat down and the table while Jenny gut Tony's steak into manageable bit size pieces for him.

Gibbs thought it was a lovely site to see and realised how much he had missed being around a family ever since his wife and daughter had died.

Later on that evening Tony had gone to bed much to his protesting but after a while of watching TV he had fallen asleep in-between Gibbs and Jenny. He had carried Tony to his bedroom thanks to Jenny guiding him there.

They were now settled on the sofa watching as the fire burned in the fire place.

Gibbs didn't know why but he told her about Shannon and Kelly. By the end of him telling her the story Jenny was holding Gibbs hand.

"Now you have been honest with me I guess I can be honest with you" Jenny began. "Tony's dad, he… he isn't in Russia like I told him he does the truth is I met Tony's dad when I was very young and I was foolish and he was sent to prison and I have no Idea where he is" Jenny said and Gibbs squeezed her hand for reassurance.

Later Jenny left for a moment and Tony came out of his room to talk to Gibbs.

"Shouldn't you be asleep" Gibbs said and Tony just pouted.

"I wanted to show you my lasers" Tony said pulling Gibbs by the arm.

As they walked Tony babbled on about thing and Gibbs wasn't really listening until Tony told him about the time he and Jenny had to leave all of a sudden in the middle of the night and he had to leave his favourite toy behind. They were the mother and son, it was so clear now. But how could he reveal who he really was without hurting Jenny's feelings and losing her and Tony forever.

Once Tony had shown Gibbs what he had wanted they went back to the house.

Gibbs decided it was time for him to go and left Giving Jenny a Kiss on the cheek.

Meanwhile miles away….

"We will find him and be a family again" Joanna Kort said reassuringly to her son.

"I hope so" he said in return

"Oh don't worry we will do whatever it takes to get your son, Lauren can't hide forever" Joanna said with a slight evil laugh.
