The two boys had been released before their mother, they wanted to keep Jenny in longer just to make sure she was okay. Even though the boys were released I managed to convince the doctor into letting them stay until their mother was released he had agreed. The twins were four days old when Jenny was released we had strapped the boys into their carseats as we made our way to the car putting them both in the back I helped Jenny climb into the passengers side, I knew she was still in pain but she wouldn't admit it that was how stubborn she was sometimes. We decided to pay a visit to the team so I drove up to NCIS as I parked I helped Jenny out as I handed her Jasper's carseat while I took Jackson she then took the diaper bag. We then made our way upstairs to where the team was standing talking amongst themselves. That was when DiNozzo saw us.
"Boss thank goodness you're here, you too Jenny." I could tell he was nervous but I wasn't sure why that was when I saw someone bringing boxes downstairs and setting them beside my desk each box had the same word on it. Jenny's I looked towards them.
"Guys what's happening." They all pointed to a guy standing up along the rail, I recognized him it was none other than Vance.. The one who took Jenny's place when she was said to be dead...
"What is he doing here?" I heard Jenny ask as she set Jasper's carseat down.
"Good questioned Miss Shepard oh wait sorry I mean Mrs. Gibbs." I saw Jenny's face turn from confusion to angry in just seconds.
"Will someone tell us what's going on?" I said in a harsh tone.
"Well Special Agent Gibbs, you and your team have got yourselves a new director.,," Before he could finish I heard Jenny shout.
"NO!" She shouted at him just then Abby, Ducky and Palmer walked in looking towards all of us confused I just shrugged. "I never filed in my papers this is my agency and it will be till I die!" Jenny said watching him I could tell she wanted to hurt this guy but she was keeping it all back.
"I'm sorry Jennifer but the agency has decided to kick you out because they know you won't be able to be in much and I can see why now." We all stood there watching Vance and Jenny go at it we didn't wanna get in between them because we didn't know exactly what would happen if we did.
"No I think it's because someone has been filing false complaints about me. I saw what you wrote I have friends who tell me everything, you're a horrible man Vance and I will get my agency back if it is the last thing I do."
"Might I also tell you that no agency will hire you not after the letter they got about someone complaining of what a horrible person you were I mean are." I couldn't see how Jenny couldn't go and hurt this an right now I wanted to yet Jenny remained calm as she stood her ground.
"You're a monster, you think I won't go down without out a fight well you're wrong Vance you better watch your back because I will be coming for you. This team is my family and family always stick together I won't abandoned them." I looked towards the team who was smiling at Jenny.
"Well that is just too bad now.. I'm sorry to say but your family is now being taken from you I suggest you and over your office keys and everything that now belongs to me." We all watched in shock as she made hey way towards him handing her the keys and everything else she had been given when she started. We watched as she then stood back beside the carseats.
"Mark my word i'll be back for what is mine." Before Jenny had the chance to turn and leave I watched as something I never thought would happen happened. Ducky stepped forward as he laid his ID in Vance's hand.
"She's gone then i'm gone too..Jenny is like a daughter to me and if she can't be here then I won't either." Jenny smiled as Ducky approached her, she hugged him as she whispered a thank you in his ear. Palmer was the next to hand in his ID.
"I go where Ducky goes he's a great teacher and I will follow in his footsteps." He then went and joined the two I starred in shock I couldn't believe what was happening the shock on Vance's face made it hard for me to not laugh as well. Abby stepped forward as she set her ID in his hand as well.
"I don't care how much I love this job i'm willing to lose it so I don't have to lose my family." She joined the others as they stood there hugging each other.
"I'm won't be on this team if Jenny isn't she's the one that brought me here if she goes I go." Ziva said tossing him her badge as she went and joined the group hug.
"I'm gone as well, Jenny is family and family sticks together." Kate says handing him her badge leaving me DiNozzo and McGee the only three left with out badges. DiNozzo was the next to go.
"Jenny has helped me with so much that losing her would just destroy this place it did last time when we all thought she was dead, we ended up with you and we were all assigned different positions. Get this through your head Vance it isn't your team never will be. This team is Gibbs and Jenny's we need both of them to function so if you wanna take one of them away well you are gonna lose us all then." He then went and joined the rest of them. McGee stepped up and handed him his badge.
"Good luck finding people to replace all of us.." He said joining the group where Jenny stood with a smile tears rolling down her cheek as she hugged them all first a group hug then one at a time. A soft cry came from one of the carriers as she picked up Jackson she carefully handed him to Kate, Kate took him as Jenny picked up Jasper just then I realized the choice I had to make they all were now looking at me as I turned to face Vance.
"What's your choice Gibbs?" he said still holding out his hand, that was when I handed him my badge as I spoke.
"Those people standing there are not only my team they are my family as well, we have grown and learned from one another and I plan on keeping it that way. Ducky is like a grandfather to Kate, Tony, Abby, McGee, Palmer, Ziva, Jackson and Jasper. He's like a father to Jenny and me. Kate is not only a sister to these guys she's like a daughter to me and Jenny. So is Abby and Ziva. Tony, McGee and Palmer our like our sons we may not be a true family but we act like one. The two newest additions Jackson and Jasper have been brought into this environment and this team has fallen in love with them. No matter what you try to do we will always stick together and that is that." With that I grabbed the two empty carseats as I lead everyone to the elevator where we disappeared into it.
It wasn't till we got outside that we all looked towards each other. "We are all a family." Jenny said with a smile as she held Jasper close. "I promise you guys i'll try to figure this all out there has to be some misunderstanding plus they'll be crawling back to us we were some of the best agents they ever had they aren't just gonna let us walk away.."
We all were standing outside we had just given up our jobs because we didn't want to be separated we were all a family. Jenny had gone back to the car with a crying Jasper, Ducky was currently holding Jackson as he stood talking to him. Abby and Mcgee were in their own little conversation Ziva and Kate had gone off to help Jenny. I made my way to Gibbs as I carefully spoke up.
"What are we gonna do now boss?" I asked as I looked around at everyone.
"As of right now we will stick together, we are a team DiNozzo it's all of us or none of us." I nodded as I turned to walk away. But stopped when everyone else came back.
"Hey you know what we could do we could all gather at someone's house and hang out all night." Abby said nearly jumping up and down.
"Like a sleepover Abs?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah exactly like that." She said with a smile.
"I'm up for it." Kate said which made Abby more excited.
"Count me in!" Ziva said from where she stood.
"I'll come!" Came McGee's voice from the background.
"Us too." Ducky and Palmer said with a nod,
"I'll come!" I said as we glanced towards Jenny and Gibbs. Jenny nodded at Gibbs and we all turned to him.
"Why not? What harm could it do? Who's place?" He asked
"Why not yours! That was you can put the twins in their bed and come hang out with us downstairs." Abby said looking between Jenny and Gibbs.
"That works. We shall see you guys soon." Jenny said as she took Jackson from Ducky as she went and put him in his carseat then in the car by Jasper. With that we were all off only to meet up again once more that night.
We were all sitting around playing a game, Jenny had just put the twins asleep and Gibbs had just come back with some popcorn. We had all settled back down when not only mine but Abby's, Kate's and McGee's phones went up we all picked them up as we stood up and walked away.
"Hello?" I asked into the phone.
"Is this Anthony DiNozzo?"
"Yes this is who is this?"
"It's the NCIS agency we were wondering if you'd like your job back, we talked it over and we can't lose you all so we are bringing you all back. Would you like the job?"
"As long as everyone gets their job back then yes."
I then went back and joined the group, Abby, Kate and McGee had all said yes as well. Then Gibbs', Ducky's, Ziva's and Palmer's phone rang they had all said yes. They then came back and sat down we all sat in silence as if we were waiting for that one phone call which we were. We were waiting for the phone call asking Jenny to come back. Just then a cry could be heard from upstairs Jenny quickly got up making her way upstairs. We listened to her through the baby monitor for awhile before her phone rang Gibbs reached over and picked it up putting it on speaker.
"Hello?"
"Hi is Mrs. Jennifer Gibbs there?"
"She's currently busy could I take a message?"
"Yes please tell her that we need to see her as soon as possible up at NCIS."
"Will do miss."
"Thank you.." With that the lady hung up we all looked around at each other.
"Boss what do you think that means?" I asked from where I sat.
"Not sure DiNozzo but we are gonna find out soon."
Just thenJenny could be heard coming down the steps she must have heard because she grabbed her phone and keys and walked out the door without a word.
I made my way into MTAC I wasn't sure exactly what they wanted I knew everyone else had gotten their jobs back I figured I would be told I would never get mine back.. If that was the case I was gonna lie to the team I was glad they quite for me but this is what they love to do and I wasn't gonna take it from them..
"Hello Mrs. Gibbs" I was greeted when I walked in
"Hello.." Was my only response I saw Vance in the corner and I looked around at them.
"We are gonna make a deal with you..." The one guy said I nodded.
"Okay i'm listening." I said softly.
"You get two months off and while you're off Vance takes over, you don't return till those two months are over if you return anytime sooner you won't get your job back. Are we clear?"
"What about visits to my team? To my husband? To my family?"
"You visit them and you lose your job..."
"I won't give up without a fight, my team, my family, mess with them you mess with me!"
