Mac entered his office thinking more and more about Jordan and the baby. In his opinion Jordan still shouldn't have gone in to that pond. What if she had really slipped? He didn't want her to take any risk. He sat down in his chair and gazed of the city of New York. Deep in thoughts he wasn't aware of Stella's presence.
"Earth to Mac." Stella said for the third time.
"Huh?" Mac looked up. "
Mac, you seemed miles away." Stella commented.
"Nothing." Mac still had a worried look.
"Nothing? Ok Taylor, out with it." Stella ordered as she sat down as well.
Mac shook his head. "Jordan. She went dumpster diving in a pond with Jethro." Mac detailed.
Jordan and Gibbs, Stella thought, interesting. "So?"
"So I gave her a lecture in front of Jethro." Mac sighed.
"About?" Stella was getting worried now. "About being reckless, she could have slipped." Mac got up. "She could have told him that she's pregnant, but no, she had to pull straws like this baby doesn't exist." Mac slammed his fist on the desk.
"Ok, then what happened?" Stella got up.
"What did Jordan say?"
"Nothing, Jethro sent her off to the shower." Mac sat down again.
"Did you tell him?" Stella got up walked behind Mac and rubbed his sleeps.
"That's not my call, Gorgeous." Mac closed his eyes and started to relax.
"Mac Taylor, now you listen to me." Stella continued her massage. "Jordan is a grown woman, she would never and I mean never, jeopardize the life of that baby. She's almost 40 and she knows the risks. Trust me on this one." Stella kissed Mac on his head. "Did you apologize?" Stella asked.
"No." "Well maybe you should, it's not healthy for the baby or for Jordan for that matter." Mac got up from his chair. "Maybe you're right." Mac put a soft kiss on Stella's lips. "I'll go and find her." Mac left his office with Stella wondering what happened to make Jordan act that way.

Back in the locker room Jordan had gotten her spare clothes and jumped under the shower. She let the water run over her body and her mind went back to her argument with Mac. She felt guilty now and tears were running down her cheek. When she heard someone enter the shower room, she closed her eyes to regain herself. Suddenly familiar hands were travelling over somewhat new territory, even though they touched her only once.
"You know this is my favourite part." Jordan was told.
"How can you have a favourite part already, Probie?" She asked.
"This flare, this slope. It's sexy. Gibbs' lips and tongue danced over her back.
"What did Mac have to say?" Jordan shivered…
"Don't worry about Mac, you'll be fine." Gibbs assured her stroking her again. "It's so feminine, Angel." Gibbs continued.
"It's not sexy." Jordan protested.
"It's sensual." Gibbs spoke against her spine.
"It's a hip, Jethro." Jordan laughed.
Gibbs stroked the gentle over her hip up to her waist. "I have a thing for your hipbone, Jordan D'Angelo." He murmured.
"A thing, huh?" Jordan wondered.
"Oh yeah, it started three months ago." Gibbs told her.
"Should I be jealous?" Jordan enquired.
"No not, jealous, your hips led me to you." Gibbs admitted.
"I think we need to shower. Seriously, grab some shampoo and wash my hair, Jethro. You're not making too much sense."
He ignored her and continued to massage her side. "Your hips were the first thing I noticed about you. Actually, it was more your walk, the way your hips swayed and guided you.
"My walk?" Jordan laughed. "Now I know that you're full of it."
Gibbs' mock pout didn't get the sympathy he was hoping for. But he wouldn't trade the smile he got instead for anything.
"J-" "Shhh…" Jordan suddenly put her fingers on his lips.
"Jordan?" Mac called out.
Gibbs held tightly to Jordan, both not making a sound.
"Jordan, I know you're in there, you're badge is lying on a chair" Mac pointed out.
"I'm not speaking to you." Jordan finally said and held a hand over Gibbs mouth.
"I just came in to apologize." Mac told her. "I wanna explain why I was worried." He made clear. Silence.
Jordan quickly thought about what to do without telling Gibbs. "Uh Mac, let me just finish and we'll about it in your office, ok?" She suggested.
"Sure, but hurry, I got an appointment with the D.A. in half an hour." Mac said and left.
"You were saying…" Jordan asked after Mac had left.
"You should go and talk to him." Gibbs suggested. Jordan nodded. "We'll finish this later." Gibbs promised.
"I think I should get out first, just in case." Jordan offered. Gibbs nodded and let her go, but not before he got a long overdue sensual deep kiss.
