"Where is Jenny?"
"Jenny who?"
ooOoo
"Jenny, the nurse who's been here for the past many days?" Gibbs tried to look past the very large woman.
"Mr. you get exactly five seconds to leave before I call security!"
Gibbs left but kept looking back over his shoulder and into every open room he passed, this Jenny maybe she was an angel , maybe she was just his imagination. Oh but what an imagination, she was beautiful, caring, sweet, almost maternal, she had wit, brain and was fast with words, just what he needed. He crawled back into bed, and looked towards the door, wishing this woman would just walk through that door, and take him home with her. He felt like one of those children she had hugged to her, he felt as if he really physically needed her. A woman he had only spoken with a few minutes for a few nights, and now he needed her. Gibbs shook his head and went to sleep.
Next morning Gibbs was sitting up in bed looking over at Ducky, rolling his eyes at the doctor who was checking him over, Ducky was softly chuckling in the chair opposite the bed.
"Well Agent Gibbs we need to keep you for another few days, your left eye is not responding the way it should, and that means we need to keep you here. So lean back and enjoy!" with that the doctor left them alone and Ducky rose from the chair and approached Gibbs.
"Well Jethro see it as a mini vacation, I know it is a hospital but try and enjoy it." Ducky suggested.
"Oh God Duck, I can't enjoy it I hate hospitals you kno….Ducky by the way how severe is this head trauma of mine?"
"Very, why do you ask?"
"So I could easily be imagining things?" he asked and received a nod from Ducky "Oh that is so unfair Duck, I have for several nights seen this and talked to this amazing woman, she is beautiful, she has amazing eyes and her voice, I have to be honest with you Ducky, whenever she speaks it turns me on, and the way she handles those kids, whoa I want to marry her right here, right now." Gibbs threw his arms up and behind his head as his eyes took over a dreamy look.
"And you think now that she is in your imagination only?" Gibbs nodded his head "But you've spoken to her?" again a nod "And you want to marry her now, is she by any chance a redhead?" Ducky smiled a wicked smile Gibbs's way.
"Yes she is a redhead, and what is wrong with her being that and me wanting to marry her, if she is real that is?" Gibbs sat up.
"I can only say – 3 ex-wives! And I will leave you with that my dear chap, I need to get back to work or Morrow will have a fit." Ducky put his hat on and left the room.
That night just as the clock past midnight, Gibbs jumped out of bed and headed for the ward and Jenny. When he arrived he tiptoed around the corner in case it was the nurse from the night before. When he rounded the corner of the ward where the children were was empty of nurses or doctors, he straightened up and walked closer to the glass, no she wasn't hiding in there, his let out the air he hadn't realized that he was holding.
"Oh Blue eyes is that you?" the softest voice he'd ever heard was right behind him, he felt his entire face lit up.
"Jenny?" he turned around.
"Yes that's me. Now let me just give you this." She pinned a safety pen to the back of his gown.
"Oh God a little embarrassing!" he muttered
"Oh don't feel bad I was enjoying the view." She winked at him.
"Are you real Jenny?"
"If I'm real I should say so, why do you ask?"
"Because the nurse who was here last night didn't seem to know who you were?" Gibbs sounded almost childish, even to himself.
"Oh Blue eyes, you probably asked after Jenny am I right?" she received a confirming nod a smiled wider "that is why, I'm the head nurse at prenatal care, and my name is Jennifer Shepard, nobody knows me as Jenny?" she tilted her head and looked at him.
"Then why did you introduce yourself to me as Jenny?" his defenses was up and ready.
"That's what friends and family calls me!"
"But I'm neither, I don't really know you, we've talked for a few nights, but with my head trauma I was not even sure that you were real, I even had to ask my dear old friend about ghosts and angels and such, because I didn't want to fall more in love with a non-existing creature."
"You are not family, just a little bit of a friend, but I was attracted to you immediately and who am I to pass one like you up?" she smiled a crocked smile.
"You were attracted to me?"
"Yes very much so, and judging from the look on your face when you saw me again, I will be frank and say that you are just a little attracted to me as well.
"When I saw you the very first time, even before I spoke to you, I was already thinking about proposing to you!"
"Blue eyes maybe you did hurt your head worse than I first thought, I am not marriage material. I am the kind of girl you go out with, have fun with, and sleep with if you want. But not the kind you think about marrying, believe me! We would just be making a new version of 'Runaway Bride'" she had cupped his face by now with both hands looking straight into his eyes.
"Fine if you say so. Jenny when I get released would you like to go out?"
"Ok, Gibbs!" she winked and was again interrupted by someone whimpering and left him with a small wave.
Gibbs stayed and watched her pick up a baby and walk to the small heating cabinet and pull out a bottle and feed it to the kid she now had in her arms. A lot of different images flashed in front of Gibbs's eyes, Jenny and him entering a house hand in hand, a lot of children running around the hallway, a very pregnant Jenny standing in the kitchen with a baby in her arms smiling towards him, though suddenly she began waving in front of his face, and then Gibbs fell out of his daze and Jenny was indeed standing in front of him waving and with a baby in her arms, but it was only to bring him back to the presents and then wave him of. Gibbs went back to his room and fell asleep quickly and couldn't wait to be discharged.
ooOoo
So Jenny does exist. How will it go after he is discharged? Will they get on a date? Or will Gibbs forget about her?
Review please….oxoxox
