The team were spending the next Saturday at Gibbs' house. The only people that couldn't come were Jimmy and Breena as they were visiting Ed.
Ziva, Abby and Bishop were teasing DiNozzo and Tim just watched on the side-lines. Ducky and Jenny were engaged in conversation and Gibbs was casually drifting between both groups.
"McGee might be manlier than Tony," Bishop started
"Really! All because he wasn't fazed by eating a chilli?" Tony enquired with a frown
"No because you screamed like a little girl then ran around the office in search of water!" Ziva reminded him
Tony grumbled and Tim laughed, that show was funny and he'd pay to see it again but hey, he could!
Ziva began preparing lunch and decided to rib Tony a little by adding an extra teaspoon of ground chillies than she usually did. She placed the pasta sauce on the stove, set the timer and joined everyone in the living room.
McGee glanced around then slipped into the kitchen. He looked around, spotting the ground chillies and added just 1 teaspoon into the pasta sauce. Just enough to get Tony running in circles, he mused.
Abby watched as McGee exited the kitchen then announced that she was going to get some water. In the kitchen she hurriedly added 2 teaspoons of some chillies to the sauce then hurried back.
"Damn I forgot the ice!" Abby exclaimed
Bishop saw her opportunity and so took the glass to add ice. While adding the ice she dropped some chilli powder into the sauce.
Tony glance around the room his ego shattered. He simply had to get his reputation back amongst his siblings. I could just add chillies to the pasta then I wouldn't be fazed when everyone else is running I circles, Tony thought moving into the kitchen.
He added a spoon of a chilli something that was lying on the counter but then added another for good measure.
As the morning wore on the team headed outside to toss a ball around until lunch. The most eagerly awaited time of that day.
Jenny decided to eat earlier than everyone else and Gibbs' assured her that the team wouldn't mind. Jenny had simply one forkful of the pasta and sauce before she yelled for water. Gibbs and Ducky rushed to her aid, Ducky reminding her that she was not supposed to eat spicy food.
"You might go into labour," Ducky chided
"That ship has sailed," Jenny declared, glaring at the food
Gibbs took a bite and spat everything out again," Its lava!"
"What's lava," Ziva asked walking in with the team.
Gibbs spun glaring at them," Did you add more chillies into the sauce?"
"Yes," they said in unison, turning to each other in shock
Gibbs just shook his head helping Jenny to the car while Ducky brought her bag. The team were left alone in the house close to five minutes later,
"Well that was stunningly uncoordinated," Bishop said
"Yes, so do we go to the hospital or what?" Ziva wondered
"Let's go!" Abby exclaimed hurrying everyone to the car.
So that is how the team were currently pacing in the waiting room wincing each time Jenny's curses or yells would be heard.
Gibbs was in agony though he didn't voice it. Jenny had a vice like grip on his hand and her curses and yell were making his head ache.
When the doctor announced that it was the last push Gibbs sighed in relief first but once the baby was born and handed to the nurses, Gibbs' realised that it was only half done.
Gibbs and now Jenny too were at the happiest when the cry of the second boy pierced through the room.
Minutes later, their sons were placed into their arms wearing the little camouflage onesies Ziva had given them.
Jenny looked down at the baby boy in her arms then at the child cradled in Gibbs' arms.
"Our boys," Jenny whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks. A tear trickled down Gibbs cheek as well
"Go call the team," Jenny told him, balancing both boys in her arms.
Gibbs walked into the waiting room huge smile plastered on his face. The team froze and bombarded Gibbs with questions.
Gibbs just turned toward the delivery ward and indicated they should follow. The team barrelled in, nearly knocking Gibbs over to see the newest members of the team.
"They are so cute!" Bishop cooed
"Yes they are!" Abby whispered in awe as the boys yawned and blinked
It was Tim McGee who asked Jenny for their names," So, Boss, what are their names?"
Gibbs and Jenny exchanged grins and Jenny pointed to the child in her arms," Liam Jasper ,"
And Gibbs held up the boy in his arms gallantly," Logan Jackson,"
"Adorable," Ducky said with a smile
The team each had a chance to hold the babies before Liam fell asleep in his mother's arms and Gibbs directed the team out promising that they could visit later.
Jenny sent Gibbs for food, "I still haven't eaten," she reminded him
With the lack of Gibbs, she admired the babies in her arms," I wish your eyes remain blue," she whispered," you know, you guys are lucky. Your dad will slay anyone who looks at you two the wrong way and I'm sure the rest of his team would be right behind him. Although for the sake of my sanity I hope you guys aren't too much like your father, although I can't wait to tell you the story of how you were born,"
Logan just stared causing Jenny to giggle. Gibbs chose then to walk in," What's the joke?"
"Nothing, but here take your boys, I need some sleep," Jenny said with a yawn
Gibbs lifted Liam out of Jenny's arms and placed him into the bassinet but held Logan in his arms. The perks of having Gibbs' kids were that they were kept away from the main population and rarely troubled, no medical staff wanted to interfere with the living legend.
It was then and there, staring into his son's eyes did Gibbs make a promise, to his son and to himself. The promise to give his boys anything, he would never take them for granted and wanted no regrets, none at all.
A/N: The fact that spicy food induces labor is, according to my research, an urban myth. Still it made a cute story line!
