Mac was on stage as he saw Stella enter the club. He gave her a smiling nod to let her know that he noticed her. To his surprise Stella had Jordan in her tow. His smile disappeared as noticed Gibbs with four drinks. He wondered what Gibbs was doing here since he was not exactly a club type.

After the song had ended Mac stalled away his bass, he thanked the band members and walked towards the table where the trio had seated. Mac gave Stella a quick peck on her cheek.

"Evening." He greeted them all. "Jethro, I've known you for years, but I don't think I've seen you in a jazz bar before. Mac commented as he accepted the beer Gibbs held out for him.

"First time for everything." Gibbs smiled and took a sip of his beer. "Moreover I haven't heard you play in a long time. That stage suits you." Gibbs complimented. Mac reddened.

"And what brings you out here?" Mac asked Jordan as he took a chair and sat down. "And don't tell me you haven't heard me play for years as well." Mac joked.

"I invited them." Stella answered instead. "I didn't want Jordan to be by her lonesome self again tonight." Stella sweetened. "She needs to get out more, and maybe, just maybe, you could get Jordan to perform as well. Stella suggested.

"Please don't, Stella." Jordan butted in."

Mac got an amused expression. "I think you're right Stella. It's about time that Jordan and I get together on that stage, I'll go over and check with the band." With that Mac got up and left the table.

"Oh c'mon, Jordan." Stella said when Jordan mocked her face. "Unlike Mac I haven't heard you sing in years. And that is a fact. I'm going for another round." Stella got up, took the empty glasses and walked over to the bar.

"You sing?" Gibbs took her hand and couldn't take his gaze of Jordan.

"Once in a while." Jordan smiled. "My dad made my brother take guitar lessons when we were kids. I started singing along when I was about 14. Ever since they wanted me to sing whenever my brother reached for his guitar." Gibbs leaned on his elbow while he listened to Jordan's story.

Mac and Stella came back at the exact same moment. "It's settled." Mac told Jordan. "We're up after the next song, D´Angelo." He took the new round from Stella and passed over the glasses. "Jordan, the song will be 'Since I fell for you'. Mac glanced over to Stella. "You know the lyrics, right?"

"Oh, do I ever, Taylor." Jordan reminded Mac. "Natalie Cole has always been one of my favourites." Jordan took grabbed for some crackers and handed some over to Gibbs. "We'd better get ready then." Jordan got up. "Seems to me this song is ending, Taylor." Jordan tapped Mac on his shoulder to get him moving. "See you later, guys." Mac said leaving with Jordan.

With Mac and Jordan gone, Stella had gotten exactly what she had hoped for. Some time with Gibbs alone. "So…" Stella began. "What do you think of Jordan?" Stella asked while she reached for her glass of wine.

Gibbs picked up his beer too and took another sip. "Stella, you can spare yourself the trouble." Gibbs smirked. "I know you know about us." He gazed over to Jordan who started to sing. "Beautiful voice." Gibbs praised as he imagined Jordan singing to the baby.

Stella's gaze went over to Mac and waved again. She nodded to Gibbs. "She should sing more often." Stella agreed as she observed Jordan moving towards Mac while she sang. "They look good together."

"I'm sure Jordan will pick up singing again anytime soon." Gibbs couldn't keep his eyes off her. Especially now that he knew that she was carrying his child. "And I'll be there to record every moment." Stella gave Gibbs a surprised stare. "What?" Gibbs laughed.

"She told you?" Stella carefully asked. Gibbs nodded. "And by the looks of it, you couldn't be more pleased. Am I right, Jethro?" Gibbs gave her the cutest smile. "Thank heaven's for that."

"Yeah, but we're not screaming it from the rooftops yet." Stella got the hint.

"Thanks for taking her in, Stella." Gibbs sighed as the song ended.

"She made Mac sleep on the couch when she came to New York." Stella laughed.

"Ouch!" Gibbs joked.

"My apartment is big enough, so enjoy." Stella whispered and turned her attention to Mac. "Ready to go, Taylor?"

"You leaving already?" Jordan asked Mac as they came back from the stage.

"Yep, early morning." Mac said. "And so have you." He tipped her nose.

"I'll make sure Jordan gets home safely, Mac." Gibbs said dryly.

"Well ok then, thanks Jethro." Mac shook his hand.

"Night you two." Jordan called after them.

"You also ready to go?" Jordan asked while reaching for her coat.

"Yup, let's roll." Gibbs hit Jordan on her behind and they left the jazz bar.
