Just as fast as Jenny Shepard left the hospital after the explosion, she was back in it. About a month after the baby shower at NCIS, Jenny was at home and she felt it begin to happen.
"Jethro!" she called. Her husband had taken off some time at work as it neared 'the time.' Jenny heard him stumbling up the stairs.
"Jen, you alright?"
"Hospital Jethro!" Jenny yelled. Gibbs widened his eyes, and ran to help her get in the car. They got to the hospital in what seemed like record time. With Gibbs' driving regularly, plus the fact that he had a wife in the car that was going to have a baby at any time, it's safe to say they got there in time. Gibbs pulled into the hospital parking lot with a screech of the tires.
"Jethro calm down!" Jenny said with a laugh. "I'll be fine!"
"I just don't want it to hurt that much…" said Gibbs sheepishly. Jenny just looked at him. "I wasn't there for Kelly's birth," Gibbs admitted. "I want to make sure I'm here for everything this time." Jenny gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She linked her arm through his and they made their way into the Emergency Room door. Gibbs checked them in and it was only a matter of time until Jenny's name was called. She walked into a room, and told Gibbs to stay out. He reluctantly agreed and decided to call his team, as they probably would want to know what's happening.
"Hey Abs!" Gibbs said.
"Gibbs!" Abby squealed. "We've missed you! It's been crazy here without you and the Director! Tony and Ziva have started some competition on who can annoy the other more, McGee's computer broke and we don't have authorization to buy him a new one until the director gets back, and I've had two people come to me and ask for a job as an assistant! Two people Gibbs!"
"Breathe Abby," Gibbs said. "I just am calling to say that Jenny's going to have her baby soon." His eardrums about burst with her scream at that.
"Oh my gosh we'll be right there! I'll tell Tony and Ziva!" Abby said. Gibbs heard her hang up and he slipped his phone back into his pocket with a slight chuckle. Then he decided that as the father, he should be able to be there when she actually gives birth, so he walked into the room.
"Jethro…" he heard Jenny say. The doctor looked at him.
"It's happening sooner than we thought," he said. Gibbs nodded and reached over to hold his wife's hand.
"It'll be alright Jen…"
"Gibbs! Director!" Abby called running into the room. Gibbs was sitting on Jenny's bed, with a small bundle in his hands. Abby was followed by Tony and Ziva. "Is that…" Abby started, lowering her voice and pointing to the blanket-wrapped parcel. Gibbs and Jenny nodded.
"Jonah Jasper Gibbs," whispered Jenny. Abby raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"It's beautiful…" she gasped. Ziva nodded eagerly.
"Congratulations," Ziva said. Tony nodded at his bosses in agreement.
"Can I hold him?" asked Abby. Gibbs nodded. Abby held out her hands and accepted the baby. "He's adorable!" said Abby. Gibbs looked at Jenny who was beaming proudly. He took her hand and squeezed it as their pride and joy was passed around.
A/N: Sorry a bit short. But there's only the epilogue left I enjoyed writing this story a lot.
