He starred at me for the longest time, I sighed as I turned around and walked towards the window I had just found out myself a week ago and I was scared to tell him. The last time he had a child it was taken from him when she was eight her life was cut short because of a terrorist. I wasn't going to tell him but he had pried it out of me, yes he had a right to know since he was the father but there was something tell me not to, now that I did I wish I never did. I felt him approach behind me that's when he pulled me into a hug I was shocked, I didn't glance towards him I continued to watch out the window..

"Jen?"

"Yes Jethro?"

"Move back in with me."

I still don't glance towards him "Why?"

"Because I love you and I wanna help you."

That's when I looked towards him before I could say anything else I watched as he got down on one knee a smile came to my face as I watched him, he carefully got down on one knee as he pulled out a small box holding it in front of me as he spoke softly.

"Dear Jenny,
From the moment I first saw you I knew you were the one I loved, the only one I ever loved. Everyday I spend with you makes me love you even more, I couldn't ask to be spending time with anyone else. When I lost you in the past it crushed me dearly but then you came back into my life and I knew that from that moment on I wasn't gonna let you go. You are everything to me Jen, I don't know what i'd do without you, you are what keeps me going everyday not only do I come to work for my team but also for you. Anytime you go past or your around I can't help but smile you mean the world to me. We've been through so much together that only you and I can understand and that's why everything works so perfectly for us. To be honest I don't know where I would be without you Jen so my one question to you is. Jennifer Shepard will you do the honors of becoming my wife?"

I smiled as tears filled my eyes as I nodded. "Yes! Yes of course!"


As soon as she answered I watched her fly into my arms I caught her as I carefully tried to balance, I carefully stood while still hugging her.

"I love you so much Jethro" She said softly

"I love you too Jenny." I said watching her as she pulled away.

"Lets not tell the team yet..." She said looking towards me I just nodded.

"Whenever you're ready.." I said as I watched her. "I've gotta head back to work I'll see you afterwards." She nods as I left making my way back downstairs. Later that evening we were sitting on the couch watching TV when I glanced towards her. "Jen?"

She looked towards me "Yes Jethro..."

"I want you to know that no matter what happens i'll be here for you."

She smiles as she nods "Good"

"So how far along are you?"

"About two months..." She said softly.

"When do you plan on telling everyone else?"

"Let's worry about the wedding first then I can think about that."

"Alright, it will have to be in no more than two months if you wanna hide the fact that you're pregnant."

She nods "Yes I know, I've been planning this day since I was a child."

"Really?"

"Well I started too but then I edited things as I got older you could say I still edit that notebook every once in awhile."

He nods "I gotta get back to work I'll see you later."

"See you later." She said as I left.

We were working on a case when I glanced up seeing Jenny coming downstairs I watched as she walked over to the elevator I figured she was going to talk to Ducky. Once the elevator had closed I was about to get back to work when the team looked towards me.

"Hey boss you notice anything different with Jenny?" DiNozzo asked, I just looked towards him.

"What do you mean?"

Kate stood up and made her way beside DiNozzo who stood in front of my desk. "Come on Gibbs we are trained detectives we notice every little change with someone, you can't tell us you didn't notice."

I knew what they were talking about but I tired to act like I had no clue what they were talking about and it was working. Ziva soon joined the two in front of my desk.

"I think what they were trying to ask is if you saw the ring on jenny's finger she's engaged boss, she's engaged."

"Oh, I didn't notice guess I wasn't paying that much attention."

"We noticed it was kinda strange." McGee said joint the rest of them. "You sure you don't know anything about this boss?"

Just then the elevator dinged and we all glanced towards it out stepped Jenny, Ducky, Palmer and Abby they all made their way towards us.

"Alright mind telling us what's going on?" Abby asked as she joined the group in front of my desk Jenny cam sand stood beside me I smiled and nodded to her.

"Okay well me and Jenny have some news for you guys and we wanted to tell you all at once, but I forgot I have agents who can notice every little change in a person that they wouldn't stop asking me about it."

"Boss?" McGee started but Jenny cut him off.

"Before you guys get to assuming anything I just want to tell you, well we wanted to tell you that..."

I helped her finish the sentence "We are getting married." I looked from each surprise face that stood in front of me and I couldn't help but laugh. Ducky was the first to speak up.

"It's about time, I thought Jennifer and you would never get together and we'd have to live with the punishment of that for the rest of our careers."

Jenny shook her head as she watched them "Don't worry I would have eventually left.."

That's when they all looked towards her "What do you mean?" Ziva asked.

"Well I was offered a different job offer and well I was gonna take it but i'm not no more.."

"Jen we can't lose you you're one of the best directors we've had and you're part of our family no matter what." Abby says going and hugging her.

"Please don't leave again that Vance guy who took your place the first time was kinda scary." McGee said from where he stood the rest of the team nodded which made Jenny smile.

"Thanks guys that really means a lot, and i'm staying. Kate, Ziva, Abby why don't you girls come with me I wanna talk to you guys somewhere else." I watched as the girls disappeared into Jenny's office. I then turned to the four guys who stood in front of me.

"Before you ask you all will be in it but i've already decided who my best man will be."

"Who?" DiNozzo asked. I just shook my head

"Not you.." He nods as he looked at the others

"Well then who is it gonna be?"

"Ducky." DiNozzo and McGee stared at me surprised, Palmer just nodded and Ducky smiled.

"Thank you Jethro I'd be honored." I nodded.

"That was all we needed, as long as you are done with your work you all can go home."

When Ducky and Palmer had left McGee and DiNozzo turned to me. "Why?" the both asked in unison.

"I've known him longer than both of you plus he's a good friend, I suggest you guys learn to live with it or I can take you one or both you out and replace you with Fornell." That shut them both up. I smiled as I glanced towards Jenny's office.


"Alright all of you girls are gonna be my bridesmaids but that's not the only thing you are gonna help me pick out everything else for the wedding I have a notebook of a lot but I need your guys help to put them into action."

They all nodded "we'd love to help you, it's still early Jen we have no case lets go shopping now!" Abby said softly

I nodded "alright let's go." I said grabbing my purse and coat. I went downstairs with everyone else as they grabbed their things and we disappeared downstairs they climbed into my car and we made our way to a nearby wedding dress shop.

After a few hours of trying different dresses on I finally found one, it was strapless with sequence on the front and part of the side, it zipped down the back and had a ruffled design, it also flowed a few feet behind me when I came out in it the girls fell in love instantly I smiled as I nodded towards them .

"You guys think this one is it?"

"YES!" Shouted Abby

"Of course!" Added Kate

"Don't think you could find another one better than that."Said Ziva. I smiled as I went to change. Coming back out I paid for it as I glanced towards Abby.

"Abby I want you to hold onto it don't let anyone see it." She nods.

Kate and Ziva looked towards me "What about us?"

"I've got other things for you guys." They nodded. I went and paid for the dress I also bought a white pair of heels that had the bow on the side. We went and put it in the car as we made our way to the next store. This time Ziva, Abby and Kate were trying on dresses. After disagreeing on multiple dresses we found the perfect bridesmaids dresses. They were a light peachy color that fell to their ankles it was also strapless. We all nodded as we looked from one another.

"They're perfect Jenny." Kate said as she twirled around in hers.

"They will go perfect with everything else." Ziva said.

"Lets get them!" I could tell abby was excited usually she wasn't one for bright colors but I could tell she loved this dress.

After paying for them we went around getting a few more things before we finally stopped at the one place I knew we would be in forever. The cake shop..

We sat looking through cakes and talking with a lady for about three hours till we finally had the perfect cake planned out. It was 5 tiers high with floors wrapping around the cake, there was designs around each base which were blue each one was different. After we ordered the cake, I thanked the girls for helping me with everything they nodded and said that it was no problem. I than drove them home with the things. First we went to Abby's she took the wedding dress inside hiding it in the back of her closet before coming back out. From there we stopped at Ziva's she went and took the bridesmaids dresses inside and hid them. While she did that Kate stuffed the cake information into her purse. After Ziva came back I took them back to NCIS and we made our way upstairs to my office once again. The guys were gone so I figured they were out doing what they needed to do. For the next few hours me and the girls worked on the invitations addressing them each. We decided on a small wedding for family and friends. There wasn't much family mine were all dead and Gibbs he only had his dad left so the family part was easy. The friend part on the other hand was different. My only real friends were the team so it was pretty easy to invite the team, I had a few people from the pentagon I invited but that was all Gibbs on the other hand he had multiple friends. There was Tobias Fornell, Mike Franks, Abigail Borin, and some others that Ihad no clue who they were but Gibbs insisted we invite them so I did. Once we were done I turned to the girls as they were leaving.

"Thanks guys I owe you all."
