I am going to try and finish this story today and it's only really got the epilogue to go, so look out for it later if you don't want to miss it :) Thank you for all your reviews so far :)

'I thought you said they drove off together!', Abby folded her arms and glared at McGee. The young Agent swallowed nervously as he tried to defend himself,

'They did, we waited until they drove off. They got into Jenny's car and left.......together'

'Yeah well it obviously didn't go well', Abby let out a high pitched scream of frustration, 'What went wrong! Gibbs has been miserable for the past two months, he missed her and I know she loves him. I just don't get it McGee!'

'Don't worry Abby you're not the only one who's confused'

'Humph!', the Goth then momentarily forget her rage and a look of concern crossed her face, 'How is Gibbs?'

McGee winced at the thought, 'He's even worse than before. Why do you think I'm down here'

Abby nervously bit down on her bottom lip as she sat down on her floor and slumped against her desk, 'Do you think they'll ever make up and just be happy'

His friend looked so desolate that McGee couldn't help but sit down next to her and put his arm around her, 'I don't know Abby, I hope so but I really just don't know'

Jenny was confused, she had actually never been more confused. For the past five days she had thought about nothing else but what the best course of action was and as much as she hated to admit it she needed some advice, which was how she come to find herself sitting in Rebecca's kitchen, sipping on some God awful type of fruit tea. Oh how she'd kill for some real coffee right now.

Rebecca eyed her niece over her cup, sipping at the hot liquid as she listened to the entire tale before setting the cup down on the counter, 'I have to say that it explains a lot about the man', she sighed, taking in the waves of confusion that were rolling off of Jenny, 'What is it you want me to tell you Jennifer? I can't and won't make this decision for you but whatever decision you make your uncle and I will support you whole-heartedly'

Jenny couldn't help but grin, 'I thought you didn't like him?'

'No, I was just upset and angry while you were in hospital and the easiest option was to take it out on him but in all honesty I think you've both been as bad as each other. Tell me Jennifer what exactly are you confused about? You either love him or you don't'

'I do love him'

Thoroughly exasperated Becca sighed, 'Well then what exactly is the problem?'

'Just because I love him it doesn't mean our relationship would work'

'But it gives you a reason to try. Yes you both have a past but whether you like it or not he is going to be in your future I feel he isn't the type of man to shirk his parental responsibilities. He has told you he loves you and I truly think he means it, now it's up to you to decide if the chance that you could be happy together is worth risking any potential heartbreak. Either way Jennifer life isn't going to be all roses and you can't predict the outcome'

Jenny sighed and leaned back into her chair, her aunt was right, no matter what she decided Jethro deserved the chance to be a real dad to their baby. As for their relationship it wasn't going to be easy but she knew deep down that they could be happy. Jenny pushed herself up out of the chair, 'Thanks Becca', she leaned forward and kissed her aunt on the cheek, 'Look I have some things to sort out before I do anything else', she eyed her aunt suspiciously, 'Would you really be ok with Jethro and I getting back together?'

'Yes, although I can't make any promises about how your cousins will treat him, they were nice enough at the hospital but they might just pull that protective crap if you bring him home'

Jenny laughed, 'I think he could handle it, I'll see you later'

She was just about out of the door when she heard her aunts voice call out from the kitchen, 'One last thing Jennifer. I didn't think I would ever say this but don't even think about marrying him'

Laughing as she headed out of the front door Jenny muttered, 'God I don't hate myself that much'

It had been a week since they had returned from Baltimore and Gibbs's team were now on almost constant alert, trying as much as possible to be nowhere near their leader. This was kind of ruined by the fact that they didn't have a case right now and so were stuck doing paperwork in extremely close range with the irate man. When Gibbs suddenly got up and announced he was going for coffee it took all of Dinozzo's effort not cry out in relief, he knew that likelihood was that if Gibbs lost it he would be first on the 'kill' list.

Somehow though he managed to restrain himself until the lift doors shut, hiding them from Gibbs's sight before he sat back in his chair and sighed, 'Thank God!'

Ziva managed a small grin, 'I wouldn't get too relaxed my little hairy butt, Gibbs will be back in twenty minutes or less'

'Yes Zee-vah but it is twenty minutes of freedom', Tony inhaled deeply, 'Sweet sweet freedom'

Rolling her eyes Ziva replied, 'Yes well I would keep going with that paperwork and not give Gibbs an excuse to shoot you'

Tony tried to laugh it off, 'Gibbs would never shoot me……although I suppose it wouldn't hurt to keep going'

McGee grinned across at Ziva over his own massive pile of paperwork, this smile faltered slightly though when the lift doors opened and for one horrific moment Ziva thought Gibbs had came back early. She turned and her mouth dropped open as Jenny breezed past them and sat down at Gibbs's desk. She smiled at them all as she asked, 'Where is he?'

The team shared a few bewildered looks before Tony answered, 'He um went for coffee a few minutes ago, he won't be long'

'Ok', Jenny pushed the coat off of her shoulders and made herself comfortable, 'You don't mind if I wait, do you?'

'No of course not', with that the team pretended to go back to work, although Jenny knew they were all silently watching her, she tried not to grin as she sat back into the chair.

Gibbs stood in the elevator, tapping his fingers off of his coffee cup as his impatience grew, why the hell were these things so slow! He had things to do and he hated being in such a confined space with nothing but his thoughts to keep him occupied. The main thoughts did of course revolve around Jen, it had been a week and she hadn't been in touch, he knew for a fact that she was still in Baltimore but that didn't help him right now, he wanted her here, with him. He felt like he had missed out on so much already, he wanted to force her hand but he didn't know how and he was pretty sure that whatever he tried to do it wouldn't work.

He sighed as the doors finally opened and walked towards his desk, his heart rate picked up when he saw a very familiar red head sitting in his seat, smiling at him. Knowing full well that his team were blatantly watching he kept his emotions under a tight reign gave her a small but genuine smile, 'Jenny, why are you at my desk?'

'I was in the area and thought I'd drop by. I think we need to talk

'Hmmm', he moved forward and helped her out of the seat, grabbing her bag and jacket as he led her back in the direction of the elevator, the minutes the doors closed, he hit the emergency stop button, turning to face her, just drinking in the sight of her.

She leaned against the railing, her hand straying over her bump again. Gibbs finally regained control over his tongue again, 'I take it you're here for a reason then?'

'Yeah', she nodded, 'I came to tell you I accepted a permanent lecturer's position today, I start in the fall'

Gibbs felt his face fall, 'Right, so what does that mean for us if you're going to be in Baltimore?'

Taking in the unconcealed devastation on his face Jenny knew she had made the right decision, she stepped forward and placed her hand on his forearm, 'Jethro I accepted a job at George Washington, I'm moving back to D.C.'

He looked up at her, 'What?'

'I decided that I want to give us a shot, if you still…..', she was cut off by his mouth covering hers. At first she tensed but as she felt the familiar sparks flow through her veins, she relaxed into his embrace. They stood kissing until they needed to pull away to draw breath, Jenny smiled up at him, 'You cut me off I wasn't finished yet'

Gibbs actually managed to look contrite as he muttered, 'Sorry'

Jenny raised her eyebrow, 'What I was going to say was that although I'm coming back to D.C. I still don't want to rush things, I think it will be better for both of us if we take this slowly, which is why I met with an Estate Agent today and picked up information on some rental properties'

'No', Gibbs shook his head, 'You're moving in with me'

Placing her hands on her hips Jenny asked, 'Did you actually just listen to a word I said?'

'Yes and I don't mean that we should jump into things, you can have your own room if that's what you want but I am fed up with wasting time. We have already wasted ten years Jen, and we're both to blame for that. I have already missed our baby's first scan and the first kick, I refuse to miss anything else. As much as I want you back in my bed I want you in my life even more, I want to see you everyday, know that you're there when I wake up and there when I go to sleep', He stroked a finger down her cheek, 'We can go slow but I want you with me'

Jenny raised her hand, capturing his in hers, entwining their fingers, 'I want my own room'

Gibbs smiled at her, his free hand drifting to her bump, his smile widening when he felt a small kick against his palm, 'Hell Jenny you can have the basement if you want it'

She laughed shaking her head, 'I appreciate the offer but a bedroom will be fine'
