It was nearing 10 00 the next morning when Jenny Sheppard woke up in the arms of her lover. The days when she got to actually have a lie in like today were few and far between, so this was a luxury. A smile crept on her face as she felt the slow movements of his chest as he breathed. Usually he was the one to wake first, but when it was her she liked to just relax into his arms and smiled as his body heat sunk into her body. She closed her eyes again and was once more about to drift off to sleep when she felt a small light kiss being planted on her forehead. "Morning birthday girl." He said sleep filling his voice. She smiled and rolled over so she could look him in the eye. "Morning, I have not been called that in years." She said laughing. He couldn't help but admire how beautiful she looked. Her red curls were messy and her face was free of make-up. She looked natural, and never more beautiful. HE softly kissed her, putting all his love into that single gesture. Then he pulled away. As he did she gave him an inquisitive look. He rummaged in the cabinet beside the bed before passing her a small black box with a green ribbon around it. Surprise filled Jenny. "Jethro you didn't have."

"It's your birthday Jenny, I'm not going to let that pass." He said kissing her head. "Now open it." She sat up in the bed, so she was in front of him. HE too sat up and wrapped his arms around her middle. As the red head slowly unwrapped the paper he kissed her neck.

Inside the perfectly wrapped box was a black velvet cushion. Inside was a small, silver, oval locket. The front was engraved with small flowers and swirls. She was shocked at it's beauty. Tears were welling up in her eyes. "Open it." He whispered in her ear. His voice sent chills down her spine. She opened the locket to see a small picture of her and Jethro a life time ago. They were sat kissing in front of a fountain with pigeons all around. She remembered the photo and how much of a beautiful moment it had been. The picture was one of her favourites, and Ducky had taken it without their knowledge. "Put it on for me." She whispered softly. He smiled and took the delicate chain from her slender finger and put it on for her. It hung perfectly. Smiling she turned around to face him. "Beautiful." He commented.

"Thank you." Jenny whispered before kissing her lover. "I love you Jethro. " she said smiling.

"I love you too Jenny."

They stayed cuddled up together in bed for another hour or two. Jenny admiring the beauty of her necklace, and Gibbs of the woman in front of him. At 12 o'clock both of their stomachs were rumbling so Gibbs grabbed a pair of discarded jeans and Jenny one of his dress shirts and the pair headed downstairs. Today was Naomi's day off so there was no coffee already on. So, Jethro gave himself the job of putting the coffee on and Jenny put some toast in the toaster and got out the chocolate spread for herself. Soon the pair had eaten their toast and were sat in the study on the sofa. A thought suddenly entered Jethro's head. Although he was hesitant to ask it he knew it would but him all day.

Sensing the change in his mood Jenny knew that something was bothering the man she was currently sat with. "Spit it out Jethro, before it chokes you."

"Jen, did…have…where are all your cards."

"Haven't got any."

"What do you mean?"

"My father is dead, and my mother died when I was young. The rest of my family are long gone. My brother and I lost touch years ago after an argument."

"What about friends?"

"I…I lost all my friends because of my job. Being relocated all over the world, and then becoming Director doesn't exactly leave much time for friends. They all erm…we lost touch."

"I'm sorry…I didn't realise." Jethro was shocked. He'd always assumed that Jenny had loads of friends and a massive family. The fact she was near enough alone shocked him. "Have you ever thought about getting back in touch with your brother?"

"I…I don't know. We, we haven't spoken in nearly 2 decades. It's too late to go back."

Kate and Tony unfortunately hadn't had the chance to have a lie in. At 08 30 Abby had rung the [air . The shrill of the phone had woken them both up and demanded they all meat at the bar they were holding Jenny's party at tonight. So, now, at 14 00, after four hours of decorating Tony and Kate were Shattered. Abby's friend had a bar which is why they were getting away with covering the bar in green and black bows. Now though Tony and Kate were sat down in one of the booths attempting to hide from Abby who was wanting them to helping the Kitchen. McGee had been given the job of using movie maker to put a load of pictures of Jenny's life together which Abby had collected off Ziva from their time together, bribed off Gibbs and found all over the internet. He had also gotten a collection of her favourite music which Abby had somehow found out. IT was a collection of Coldplay, snow patrol and Lady Antebellum.

Ziva had been placed into the kitchen where she was using her culinary skills. So far she had been in there two hours and had made all the things anyone could ever dream of having.

Abby was going hyper. It was now 16 00 and the party was to begin at 18 00, so, after inspecting each and every decoration, she had decided she would allow them all to go home.

Jenny Stood in front of the mirror of her walk in wardrobe. Abby had told her to dress as though she were off for a night on the town. It had been a long time since she'd had one of them so she had gone out shopping. Now she was stood wearing a short black dress which was decorated with black sequins. Her signature black stilettos were on and she had her long red hair curly and long. Her make-up was Smokey eyes and glossed lips. She looked amazing thought Jethro as he stood at the doorway. Around her neck was the locket and on her finger was the ring from years ago.

"You look amazing." Stated Gibbs from the door.

"You don't look too bad yourself." She said smiling at his attire. He was wearing dark wash jeans and a white open neck shirt. Although they were both looking forward to the night the fact that they would have to hide their relationship was bugging them.
