Thanks for all your alert adds and favourite adds too. Enjoy…

Life has a funny way of throwing things at us. Sometimes they might be good, others they might be bad. Jenny leaving in Paris was a bad thing; her returning was a good one. Kate 'dying' had been a terrible one, yet her returning had been a miraculous one. All in all though, the bad things that get thrown at us often out-number the good ones. But, for the last month, life had decided to give a small group if people a well-deserved session of good things.

A month had passed since Kate Todd had re-joined the family of NCIS. It had been a happy month, full of laughs and smiles. Her and Tony's relationship was blossoming. Everyone could see the happiness radiating off the pair. Everyone could see the change in the former playboy, the smile he constantly wore, the love in his eyes. No one could quite believe it was the same man who had been suspected of murder only months ago. When the cases were over and the team were letting off steam by messing around Gibbs would just observe the two. He couldn't stop the sense of pride the he felt inside of him.

Gibbs and Jenny were the happiest they could be. They were more laid back and smiling. Everyone could see that the boss seemed happier, yet, their relationship was a secret. They lived between one another's houses unlike their protégée's who lied at Tony's. Today the team had just closed a case and were all letting off steam as was their new ritual. Usually Gibbs would go to see Jenny in her office, but today she was still away for the last day of a 3 day conference in Norfolk. So, as DiNozzo and Kate sat in the bull pen messing around with the camera's on their phones and Tony set Kate a twitter account up. Gibbs was in autopsy with Ducky.

"what brings you down here my boy?" questioned the older ME.

"Can't a man visit his old friend without a reason?"

"Jethro?"

"The team are going mad. I'm letting them let off steam. It's been a tough few days."

"And everyone thinks you are the big tough marine who couldn't care? If only they knew." Said a familiar voice from the door. He turned to see his loving red head leaning against the wall. Dressed in a black suit dress, which was fitted to her figure. The neck was low yet not indecent; the length came above her knee. She wore blood red stilettoes and her hair was sharply tied out of her face. She had obviously just come from a meeting. "Hey." She said softly, smiling uncontrollably.

"Hey yourself." Jethro replied in the same soft tone. Both dying to say something else but desperate not to blow their cover.

"For god's sake, kiss the woman Jethro. And before you ask, I worked with you long enough. I knew before you did." The pair didn't need telling twice. They walked to meat each other in the middle of the room. He cupped her face and slowly kissed her. She smiled into it and responded easily. It felt so good to them both to be back in each other's arms.

"I've missed you." Said Jenny when they parted for air.

"I've missed you more. Anyway I didn't think you were gonna be back until late."

"Yeah, well the host of the last conferences wife rung and told him she was kicking him out so he left and we all went home. I was glad too, sick of politicians wandering hands."

"So, erm you mind special agents with wandering hands." He said with a smirk.

"I think I can just about cope." She replied.

Ducky watched his two best friends and in a way children from the side. HE smiled at them both. IT had been too long since he had seen them truly smiling. Now as they stood their kissing multiple times, whispering and laughing like love struck teenagers, he could tell that there was not only one loved up pair in NCIS.

Back in the bull pen, the team were all laughing and joking. Tony had helped Kate set up a twitter account and she was now putting up all of her photos of her lover-especially the more embarrassing ones. Tony was now repaying the favour by doing the same to hers. So, as Gibbs and Jenny got out of the lift (separated to disguise the truth), the sound of laughter filled the bull pen. IT brought a smile to the 'parents' faces, and as they neared the teams they gave each other a loving look before parting. Sometimes, keeping a secret is just so hard.

That night the team, and Ducky all went to their favourite bar. They sat at a small table booth in the corner. In the middle of the table sat three massive plates, one filled with cheesy chips, on filled with nachos, and a third filled with bbq ribs and chicken. This was their new ritual for whenever they finished a case. IT was something that allowed them to chill out. They all sat there together drinking bears. As usual Ducky was on hand with a camera which he took full advantage of. Kat was sat leaning against Tony who had his arm around her. McGee and Abby were tech talking and Ducky was ordering in a new round. They were all smiling and laughing as they shared Jokes. As usual Jenny and Gibbs had been invited but not turned up. Only Ducky knew the true reason, and when they did go public with their relationship he knew that they would more than likely join their family in the end of case ritual.

At Jenny's house her and Jethro were sat in the kitchen cooking pasta. Jenny was making a tomato source whilst Jethro was making matters harder by standing with his arms wrapped around her kissing her neck. She was enjoying this but still-it wasn't the right time.

"Mmmhm, Jethro now is not the time." Except it didn't come out as fiercely as she had hoped.

"But Jen…I've missed you. Three days without seeing you, or touching you."

"Leroy Jethro Gibbs!" she said regaining control of her voice. She wacked him on the arm.

"Ow! Jen."

"Go and get the pasta out of the cupboard and then set the table." She felt his arms wrap around her waist again. "Now Jethro!" still he didn't move. Realising tomorrow was Saturday and she had no need to go to work, and also realising he would forget she decided bribery. "I'll stay off work tomorrow." It worked a treat and soon the pasta was o the heat and the table was set.

Their meal was eaten in comfortable silence. Both looked deep into one another's eyes and smiled. It could have been so different and both knew it. If they hadn't faced up to their feelings one month ago then they could still be sat alone living silent lives.
