Gibbs was holding both Aliyah and Zach in the wooden rocking chairs that he made in Kelly's room while they slept. Jenny was in the more comfortable one that reclined and had cushions and a foot rest, the one they got at Wal-mart, with Kelly. They were both asleep.
"Okay you guys, I know Uncle Gibbs hasn't spent much tim with you but I want you to know that, there are rules to life. I've already told Kelly and Kyran these so, now it's your guys' turn." Gibbs said sweetly in a mock baby voice, there was a whole other side to him when it came to kids.
"I'll lay the most important down for you." Gibbs continued, but now putting a serious, but still soft, voice on.
"Rule 1: Never screw over your partner, Rule 2: Always where gloves at a crime scene; and by the way, I'm counting on you two to either be Marines, a forensic scientist like Aunt Abby, or a NCIS agent, and that goes for Kelly and Kyran too, not just you. Now, where was I,…" Gibbs took a breath and continued.
"Rule 3: Never believe what you're told, double check and Rule 4: If you have a secret, the best thing is to keep it to yourself. The second-best is to tell one other person if you must. There is no third-best. Now, this next one, rule seven, I don't want you all to have to use much, because Uncle Gibbs hates when people lie, but use it if you must, it's always be specific when you lie." Gibbs took another deep breath and started again.
"I now have the most important Gibbs rule for you, and you don't need a number for this one, Never apologize, it's a sign of week ness. You got me on that one?" Gibbs waited and didn't hear a sound come from the sleeping babies. He very well knew that they didn't understand these rules and that they were only 4 weeks old.
"Okay then, let's continue. Rule 15: Always work as a team, Rule 18: It better to seek forgiveness than to ask permission." Gibbs said.
"Rule 8: Never take anything for granted. Now, listen you two, this one is your mommy's favorite and the second most important one, Rule 9: Never, and I mean never go anywhere without a knife. Now, this is the last one is the third most important rule, Rule 23: Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live. Remember that." Gibbs finished, but continued talking to them.
"Now, I used to have rule 12, but it's pretty much screwed now. It was never date a coworker, but all of us broke that, so let's just forget that one and go to bed." Gibbs said back to his baby voice. He stood up and put Aliyah and Zachariah in the play pen they set up in Kelly's room and then kissed them both on the forehead.
"'Night Zach, goodnight Aliyah. He smiled. Gibbs gently pulled Kelly from her mother's arms, without waking Jenny. He put Kelly in her crib and kissed her goodnight. Gibbs looked at his peacefully sleeping wife's form then lifted Jenny out of the rocking chair and started to carry her to the bedroom, but was caught off guard when her lips met his strongly in the middle of the hallway.
"You heard it all didn't you?" He asked when she pulled away.
"Yeah." She said and kissed him again, this time much more passionaltly. Gibbs moaned into her mouth.
Jenny shifted around, with Gibbs arms supporting her, so that her legs were around his waist. Gibbs backed her against the wall.
"Not here." Jenny said into his mouth and Gibbs nodded, never pulling away from her. He carried Jenny swiftly to the bedroom and laid her down gently on the bed. He held his weight off her with his arms stopped kissing her, but pulled off her shirt.
Jenny pulled away from Gibbs reluctantly, "We can't; there are three babies down the hall."
"You're right." He said and laid down beside her when she climbed on top of him.
"I mean no sex, you can still kiss me." She said and pulled off his wife beater.
"Works for me." Gibbs said and started making out with Jenny again.
