AN:So I finished this chapter this morning. I have also recently realized I forgot to change the dates on the typed version of the story so I went back and fixed it. I had to change the date from July to August for a couple of little parts but never fear the correct version is now up. So remember this is AU meaning characters can be OOC and it is okay. Please leave a review and let me know what you think of the story so far.

AN2: Sorry I keep adding thoughts. I would like to say a very quick shout out to the author puppypants as two of their suggestions helped me to finally come up with a name for this story! Now happy reading!

"Kids why don't you all go pick a movie out to watch and we can have our first family movie night in a while." Jenny suggests as the family of 5 and Gibbs walk into the house.

"Let's go with Brother Bear!" Kyle, the resident kids movie expert, said excitedly looking to his mom for approval.

"Sounds good. You guys go put it on. Your mom and I will be in just give us one minute." Gibbs said sending the children out of the room.

"What is bothering you tonight Mr. Sourpuss? The kids all like you, I can tell...they did not play any tricks on you and they let you join our jam session in the car both ways. The only thing I can think of is something to do with Shannon and Kelly." Jenny suggests.

"Neither of them Jen. I am just thinking about us. But I should get to a hotel since it is late and you have work in the morning." Gibbs said getting ready to leave.

"No don't go stay here with us. Your stuff is in the van so just stay. We need to talk about this us thing. I want it to work so badly it hurts to think about not working our way back together, but we need to figure out how we are going to do it." Jen replied pulling him back inside.

"We no longer have the same SecNav that you despised. I think you being female and trying to take back the Directorship would please this SecNav since she hates Leon as much as we do. We can come up with a press release/conference statement to explain what happened. We want you home Jen. As for the us thing sell this house and I will work on selling mine and we can get a new house for the six of us and we can pick up where we left off before faking your death. At least come back with me and talk to SecNav before we make a final decision on anything." Gibbs said pleading with Jen to consider every option to make it possible to be together.

"The kids have school starting Monday Jethro and I have to bring them in and meet their teachers tomorrow afternoon. I can't leave them alone to go to DC for a week to straighten things out legally and meet and talk to this new SecNav!" Jen said.

"Then leave them with one of your detective buddies next week or bring them with you! I don't want to be that far apart from you for this long again. I love you!" Gibbs said as they sat down on the couch.

"Think of it this way. Angie and the boys are the Vancouver PD equivalent of your team for NCIS. So I can't leave the kids with any of them. Also I don't know Brian's wife nor do I trust Manny, Angie's son, to look after them. I will discuss the options with the kids teachers tomorrow when we go meet them. For tonight let's focus on us." Jenny said joining him on the couch.

"I want to pick up where we left off before you made us think you were dead. I was waiting for you guys to come back from California but then I got the call from DiNozzo saying you were dead so I left the ring at home and jumped on a plane to see if he was lying. I want you back as mine now and forever. I heard the cover name and knew it was you so I asked where you were so I went home packed a bag, grabbed the ring from my dresser, and went for the airport so that I could get to you the moment I could. I have asked too many people to marry me and that only ended well once. So I am going to just say your choice and leave it at that." Gibbs said giving the speech he had planned for when she got back from California and adding in his exact actions from that point in time.

"I want to say yes Jethro and I have a feeling you knew that. However, before we do this and are officially back to where we left off we need to see if I can get the job back so that we don't need to be so far away from each other." Jen replied looking sadly at her lover.

"Take the ring for now and we will cross that bridge when we get to it. I will even go with you tomorrow to meet the kids teachers and explain the situation to them." Gibbs said slipping the ring onto her finger and giving her a kiss as he stood to go outside.

"Where are you going? I thought we decided you would stay here!" Jen whined.

"Just going out to get my bag, Love." Gibbs replied quickly returning.

(Meanwhile In DC)

"Hey Tony have you heard from El Jefe yet? I have not heard from him by looking to trace his phone. I want to know when he and mommy will be home!" Abby said excitedly.

"I have not heard from him or Tim either. I bet we will soon. We should try to get Cynthia in on this since she is close with Jen." Tony replied just as the phone in Abby's lab begins to ring.

"Hello? Sure I will put the phone on speaker when they get up here." Abby answered the phone. "Tony go get Ducky and Palmer. Then when you get back lock the main lab door."

Seconds later Tony, Jimmy and Ducky walked into the room. "Okay the door is locked what is the problem Abby?" Tony asked.

"There is no problem DiNozzo. I just wanted to tell you all hello and that I will explain the situation next week while I am in DC to meet with SecNav to discuss my possibly coming back." came a familiar female voice.

"Beg my pardon Jennifer. I am just curious to how you are still alive, even if you faked your death you should not have lived this long. You were so far gone with your illness." Ducky said confusing everyone else on the team.

"Well Ducky. The blood I had you run the test on the first time was my older sister Melissa's and the blood the second time but that I gave to Abby was mine. And my sister did pass on I read about three months after California. I promise you all that you can meet my four kids, three of whom are adopted, and that I will explain everything when I see you all on Monday afternoon." Jen said then giving Gibbs the phone.

"We land on Sunday at 4pm. Get Cynthia caught up and in the loop by then or else you know what will happen." Gibbs said then hanging up the phone before anyone could reply.
