Jenny and Gibbs waited outside the OB/GYN office. Jenny's doctor was not present for the first months of her pregnancy and a younger, more inexperienced doctor filled in.
But today would be Jenny's appointment with her usual doctor and the preparations at Gibbs' house were supposed to be starting soon. Gibbs had a gut feeling and called DiNozzo and told him to halt the preparations.
The doctor called them in and began his examination. Once he took the sonogram he stared at it for a long time.
He left the room in haste before barrelling in minutes later. Gibbs and Jenny just looked at each other in silence.
The doctor panted," It seems like my young protégé has made a mistake,"
"Oh so we are having a girl instead of a boy?" Jenny enquired
"Uh no, instead of having one son you will be having two," the doctor said with a grimace," I am truly sorry about my substitute. Twins can be tricky for newer doctors."
Gibbs broke into an all-out grin and Jenny burst into tears drawing the attention of both the doctor and Gibbs. But no sooner than the tears had started, they were replaced by anger for the inexperienced doctor.
"We are having twins Jenny," Gibbs whispered and soon Jenny too was just as happy. As Jenny was getting ready to leave Gibbs called the team," DiNozzo, you have two hours to modify the baby shower!"
"Why. Boss?" Tony asked placing the phone on speaker so that everyone could hear the change of plans.
"Jen is not having a boy, she's having two," Gibbs said and had to immediately pull the phone away from his ear to avoid loss of hearing.
"TWINS!" Abby screeched," But shouldn't they have known earlier!?"
"They should have but they didn't," Gibbs answered
"How long do we have?" Bishop asked
"4 maybe 5 hours," Gibbs told them slamming the phone down as Jenny walked toward him.
"Let's go home," Jenny announced
"How about we go for lunch first?" Gibbs suggested, putting his arm around her back, leading her to the car.
Jenny gave him a suspicious glance but went along with it any way.
"So, what names are you thinking of?" Jenny asked munching on a piece of Gibbs' steak.
"Huh?" Gibbs asked, looking up
"We have a name for one boy, now we need something to go with it." Jenny explained
"Oh, Liam Jasper, kinda difficult to find something to go with that," Gibbs mused
"Lance?"
Gibbs' look answered that and so Jenny tried again," Louie"
"Uh uh!" Gibbs said vehemently
"Linguini, then?" Jenny asked
"Are you absolutely nuts?!" Gibbs asked with a glare
"Logan," Jenny asked waiting for it to be shot down but was surprised when Gibbs actually smiled and nodded.
"How about Liam Jasper and Logan Jackson?" Gibbs proposed
"That is perfect!" Jenny agreed as Gibbs' took care of the bill.
As they headed to the car Gibbs had yet another suggestion," Why don't we go shopping? I mean for the other kid?"
"You asking to go shopping?!" Jenny asked incredulously
"Well, we need the stuff in about two weeks," Gibbs told her innocently
Jenny agreed and so Gibbs dragged Jenny shopping. They spent close to 4 hours buying booster seats, highchairs, cribs, dressers, linen, clothes, bottles and other baby things.
Now Jenny was demanding to go home so Gibbs called DiNozzo who said that they would need at least a half hour more.
Gibbs tried to come up with an idea and then it hit him. Stuffed animals, they had bought stuffed animals very early in Jenny's pregnancy for their little boy and now they would need more.
"Jethro! I want to go home!" Jenny demanded
"One more stop," Gibbs insisted helping Jenny to the car
"What could you possibly still need?"
"Stuffed animals,"
It was another 45 minutes before Gibbs got Jenny home. Gibbs let Jenny walk in and Jenny was shocked at the team standing in the middle of the living room, foods and balloons along with two small cakes.
There were gifts stacked and a large sheet over one corner of the room.
"Double the congratulations is in order," Ducky said with a grin stepping forward
"How did you guys know we were having twins?!" Jenny asked of them
DiNozzo, Ziva, Tim, Abby and Bishop immediately pointed at Gibbs, fearing Jenny's wrath. Jenny kissed Gibbs quite passionately and Tony was sure he was ready to give birth to his lunch.
Gibbs himself looked taken aback but did nothing to stop her.
Tony handed Jenny two gifts. Each had a baby blanket and a set of Disney cartoons. Gibbs playfully glared at Tony for the movies but thanked him all the same.
Abby handed Jenny two stuffed Berts, one with a green collar and one with a blue collar. Even when these were squeezed the farting noise occurred.
Ziva gave Jenny two camouflage onesies with matching baby hats. Gibbs seemed really happy with this and Jenny just laughed.
Bishop gave Gibbs two diaper bags with a space for the Velcro name tags. Jenny and Gibbs still remained tight lipped about the name, taking all of the Velcro letters Bishop had presented.
Tim gave them each a customised baby mobile with charms for each member of the team. There was a coffee cup, a CAF POW!, a book, a gaming console, a paperclip, a bag of chips and a bow tie. Apparently McGee had bought two as he could not decide on which color would look better.
Ducky gave them cushions and vouchers to get the boys' names embroidered on it later.
Jenny's curiosity got the better of her so she asked what was under the sheet. The team pulled of the sheet to reveal two baby swings and walkers.
"It was kinda close," Tony informed them
"Yup, we finished it the second you drove in," Tim agreed
It was then Jenny realised that now instead of one baby they would be having two. Twice the difficulty but also twice the joy and she could never be more happier!
