Years had passed since the death of the famous Jennifer Holly Shepard Gibbs. Her name was still spoken years after her death and probably would be for generations to come. Sitting around with my family at christmas time was the best thing I could ask for. Ducky had passed two years after Jen, it was sad to see him go but we knew that the time had to come eventually. I sat in one of the chairs smiling watching my family. Ziva and Tony sat in one corner while Abby and McGee sat beside them, beside them were Jimmy and Breena. In the other corner was Paula and Anthony beside them was Jessica and Jackson. Kate and her husband sat beside Lisa and her husband, Heather also sat there with her husband while Leroy sat on the couch with his girlfriend. Little Shannon and her new sister Olivia tore into their gifts while Jennifer and her brother Chris tore into theirs.

Each year the family got together multiple times, the kids would always ask for stories about their grandmother and I'd be happy to tell them. This year I had done something special for the three girls I got lockets with pictures of their grandmother and me in. For little Chris I got him a key chain on the end there was a little thing he could open and it had pictures of their grandmother and me. For the adults I had made scrap book with photos of them, with Jen, with me or just them. In Paula and Jackson I included a lot of baby photos. Everyone adored them, which made my day. Life was great.

Smiling I wrapped my arm around Jenny as we looked towards the family sitting around the tree. They may not have known we were there but we were there, turns out Jenny had been there all these years. Ducky was beside us with Jasper sitting beside him. My time had come shortly before christmas when the team had found out they found the wrapped presents in my basement which now were under their tree. I looked towards Jen who nodded, carefully she got up and I did as well, we walked with Ducky and Jasper following behind us as we went to our new home. I smiled as I hugged Kelly, she had come running to me and I was glad to have seen her again. I smiled as I nodded to Shannon who stood behind her. When I had first come here both Jenny and Shannon accepted the fact I loved them both and they lived with it, as time went on I realized it was Jenny who I loved more but I still loved Shannon.

Shannon and Kelly we would see daily but they spent time with Shannon's family. Me, I spent time with Ducky, his mother, Jasper, Jenny, her father Jasper, her mother and younger sister Heather. It's not the same as living in the real world but where I am now I knew everyone was safe. Paula Cassidy, Chris Pacci, my old boss Mike Franks, were up here it was like one big family reunion. With each passing day it was sad yet happy to welcome a new person. Luckily our family was untouched and were living happily with one another. While the next generations lived out a happy life on earth the previous generations lived together watching over them.

Life was complete yet it wasn't even life anymore. Laying in one of the parks Jenny had turned to me.

"Jethro?"

"Mhm?"

"Do you ever wish you could go back and change the past?"

"No Jen I don't. I didn't like having my first wife and daughter taken from me but without that happening I would have never met you and I'm glad because we had three beautiful children together, we gained a family together. We watched two of our three children grow up. Who knows if we hadn't lost Jasper maybe Paula wouldn't be here and things would be different. You saw your first grandchild born Jen, me I saw the first four but together we will miss the next one. Without joining NCIS I might have ended up here early. Things happen and they always happen for a reason. I wouldn't change it for anything."

She nodded as she sat up. Sitting up we both smiled looking towards the family we had watched grow in front of us. Now it was their turn. Their turn to go through what we had gone through, hopefully for them their wouldn't be as much death, heartbreak, betrayal and lies like we had gone through. A parents dream is always to have their children grow up in a better world than they did and that's what me and Jen wanted for our children and that was what we gained. I helped her up as we walked off towards where her parents were with Jasper.

"We made our impact on the future now let them make theirs..."

The End
