Chapter 3

As the sun rose and birds began to chirp their heavenly morning bird songs Jenny Shepard was still at her desk fast asleep at her desk in fact. After she leaving the hospital with that stupid grin on her face she had come back to the bullpen to finish the reports in time for them to be sent to the director but had ended up falling asleep before she could sign the last one.

The sound of the ding of the elevator arriving and opening on the bullpen floor made Jenny jerk up out of her sleep, carefully she peeled off the piece of paper that was stick to her face, wincing slightly at the small amount of pain.

Once she got her bearings, where she was, why she was there Jenny groaned in frustration "Oh No" she groaned one more burying her face in her hands she'd fallen asleep at her desk that was the third time this week, her neck was killing her.

She coughed clearing her throat before remembering the files, quickly she grabbed a pen and scribbled her signature on the last couple of pieces of paper before grabbing them and making her way up to the director's office, hoping the odious man wouldn't be in yet.

But it obviously wasn't her morning, when she reached his office she found his office door open and Daniel Davis sat looking at his own reflection checking his teeth and fixing his hair, how she had ever thought she loved that man was beyond her.

"I have the case reports" Jenny spoke making Daniel almost jump out of his skin, slowly he turned to face her.

"Oh Jenny its just you" the sandy haired man placed a hand on his chest in an effort to calm his beating heart.

Jenny nodded before walking over and throwing the files down on his desk before she turned on her ridiculously high heels to walk away but he stopped her. "Wait Jenny, I want to make sure it's all here" he used his charming tone, it used to have such an effect on her but lately not so much.

The redhead turned and glared at him "On the job its special agent Shepard" She growled at him.

"Really" he looked Jenny up and down, her skinny work trousers showing her long legs perfectly ending in her trade mark high heels and her shirt curving on all the right places and her hair was just begging him to touch it "What about off the job?" the director asked suggestively.

Jenny walked straight up to him and leaned forward her hands flat on his desk, she looked him straight in the eyes "There is no off the job"

"Really, you're a good agent Jenny, especially undercover" he trailed off suggestively bating her to give in.

"Don't make me file a sexual harassment charge" She stated threateningly her green eyes meeting his muddy brown "Now get your eyes off of me and back on you wife" without taking her eyes off of his she reached out and turned the white picture frame holding a picture of his wife and their four children to face him before pushing off of the desk and walking out "Oh and by the way me and my team are taking a couple of days off" then she walked out, they were all overworked and they needed to rest and recuperate.

After she had slammed his office door shut Jenny went straight over to her desk and grabbed her jacket, gun, badge and keys before leaving the bullpen.

The team were sitting nervously in the waiting room of the hospital when she arrived, "Sorry I'm late the director wanted the reports" Jenny explained coming over and sitting next to Tim. "Has there been any news?" she asked.

"Nothing yet but before he went in Dr Gibbs assured us he would be ok" Ziva stated.

"It's just his leg it's not like it is a vital organ" Ducky assured them and they all nodded.

Just as they all settled back into their seats to continue waiting the double doors leading from the operating theatres swung open and Gibbs strolled in pulling off his scrub cap.

Jenny had forgotten how handsome he was overnight, his chiselled feature, shocking blue eyes and his silver hair that was now sticking up from where he had taken off his cap.

Gibbs noticed the close knit group and made his way over to them with a smile "Mr DiNozzo is out of surgery the operation went well, he's been taken to his room, he should wake up soon" he smiled to them all.

"Can we see him now?" Abby asked with hope in her eyes.

"Of course" Gibbs nodded "If you need me for anything press the blue button above the bed and a nurse will come tell them to page me"

"Of course, thank you doctor" Ziva smiled politely before rushing off with the rest of the team in toe to Tony's room. Jenny gave Gibbs a small smile and a nod as she walked past not realising she was actually grinning at him until she turned and all most walked into the glass door as it swung closed in front of her but she managed to stop herself and let out a small laugh thinking about how it could have gone, she then opened the door and walked out and tried to catch up to her friends.

Hours later Gibbs was about making the last round to his patients before leaving for the night like he always did, it's what made him such a good doctor, not only did he have great skills but he looked after his patients, he understood that everyone had someone that cared about them, whether it be a big group of friends that where like family that were always there in Tony's case, even when they seemed to have no one, Gibbs knew that in the future someone will love and look out for the person and they depended on him to look after them.

He went into the last patients room, it just so happened to be Tony's, he smiled at the sight of Ziva snoring lightly in the arm chair nearest the bed, her hand holding Tony's their fingers entwined, nothing could break them apart ever.

Gibbs quietly made his way over to Tony's chart and began to flick through it when he heard a soft groan come from the corner of the room, he turned startled, gripping the chart a little harder as the shock set in.

Jenny was slowly waking up having fallen asleep in one of the chairs using her jacket as a blanket. "Dr" Jenny mumbled as her eyes focused on the hunky silver fox.

"Jethro" He reminded her, finding the sleepiness in her eyes every so sweet. She nodded sleepily before stifling a yawn "I didn't mean to wake you" he gave his own version of an apology.

She shook her head "I didn't mean to fall asleep I should really be going" she stood up and stretched out her aching muscles before grabbing her jacket and slipping it on.

"You coming by tomorrow?" Gibbs asked moving his gaze from his patients charts for a moment to look at her.

"Might come by in the afternoon" Jenny gave him a small smile "Good night Doctor Gibbs" she walked passed.

"Night Miss Shepard" he smiled and just as she was about to walk out of the door he stopped her "Oh you have pen on your nose"

Jenny froze, he'd had that much of a look at her, her hand covered her nose, she must have had it there all day. The redhead nodded not moving her hand, feeling very embarrassed that he would notice such a thing before walking out, slightly flattered that he did notice.

The Doctor chuckled before putting the chart down and leaving to go him himself.

TBC…

Suggestions please, how should I get them together?
