Thank you. I hope this is ok,

Life can pass us all by, brush past us and knock us out the way. It can use muscle to push us down and make us battered and bruised. Yet it's human nature to get back up and try again. These people, these 10 people or so had been battered, bruised, pushed and shoved more time than most. Yet every time they still found some way to push themselves up, brush the dirt off of themselves and carry on. Yet, as these people have found out in the last one and a half years, sometimes life plays nice. IT picks you up and wraps it's arms around you. Makes you smile, cry tears of joy. It can give you second chances you only dreamed you would ever get.

Four years on since the birth of Kate and Tony's child and the lives of these people were amazing. Everything had changed, friendships had been formed, new relationships built and old ones and family's reformed. Thomas had grown into a bubbly little boy with his mothers looks and his fathers attitudes. Maria had joined Abby full time after finishing a masters degree in forensic science. Abby and her were now working together and amazingly well. Down in the lab things were processed twice as fast. The secNav had been happy Abby was no longer over worked and Abby was happy to have company. Up in her office the director was smiling more often than not. Gibbs smiled at Cynthia from time to time and the silver fox and Redheads relationship was as strong as ever. Yet after four years of being engaged today brought their wedding day.

They hadn't rushed into it. The last four years had seen the pair face many a hard battle. Jen had been hunted down by Svetlana and nearly died, yet Gibbs and Mike and worked together and managed to save her. When things looked up Jenny had been diagnosed with Cancer, something which had caused the red head so much fear. Yet six months ago she was given the all clear. Something which made her and the silver haired fox cry tears of joy. So, that was why today they were finally getting wed. The realisation that once more they had nearly lost one another although to something that they had no control over had made them both decide to get married.

Now, the whole of their NCIS miss fitted family was gathered on the banks of the river seine. It was summer and the sun shined down. One the banks of the river which meant so much and held so many memories for this pair, was a group of 20 seats covered in white covers with green ribbons tied in bows on them. It was to be a small wedding. Gibbs had done the big white thing way too many times and Jenny had never wanted it. So they had both decided to simply invite their 'Family' as well as Fornell, and Tom Marrow. They were the people that meant the most to the pair, and so they were the only people to be invited. The SecNav had tried to get them to have something which would please the media but both had put their feet down.

Gibbs stood greeting all of the members. Jason, Ziva's now husband, shook Gibbs hand and the older man smiled. He had made her happy, made her smile, and now she was an excellent agent who was head of sorting out hostage situations and had her own team.

Then came McGee who Gibbs smiled at. He was the only one of the old team who still remained with Gibbs, and yet Gibbs somehow knew that would not be for long. Tim had matured and grown into an agent who was highly intelligent and yet now had developed his interpersonal skills too.

Then came in the family of the group. Kate smiled at Gibbs and gave him a hug. She was once more 20 weeks pregnant with the family's second child and now a full time mum. Even though she had been an amazing agent, mother hood suited her. Gibbs smiled at her as Tony ran after Thomas who was obviously hyper no doubt from caf pows Abby gave him. When the two DiNozzo boys finally came over Gibbs high fived Thomas who beamed at his dad cheekily as if saying he'd gotten away with it. Tony groaned at his hyper son's antics. Gibbs had seen Tony become a great father who he knew Thomas respected. Tony now ran the second MCRT team Jenny had set up after Gibbs' team had gotten too many cases for them to handle. The second team meant both Tony and Gibbs got to see the people they loved more often than ever before.

Fornell then stood next to Gibbs and smiled. "You ready?" he questioned, looking at Gibbs. He'd never seen the ex-marine look nervous, but now he did. The strange thing was, Fornell knew he had nothing to be nervous about, Jenny and Gibbs were perfect for each other.

"Yeah." Replied Gibbs.

The two best friends stood at the top of the bank, under a white wooden arch with vines creeping over. It was the perfect setting, fairytale like. Yet it was Jenny, as she walked down the aisle that took Gibbs' breath away. Jenny had been lucky her cancer therapy had not made her lose her hair, yet she had been wearing it up as it was easier for the last year or so. Now though it was down. It had grown to a leant that was nearing her waist and Gibbs loved it. She'd had a fringe cut in with feathered sides and today it was long, lose and wavy, just how she knew he loved it. She wore a long, straight yet simple dress. IT fitted her tiny figure, hugged her curves. IT had a green sash around the middle which matched the bridesmaid's dresses. The neck line was a love heart shape. She looked incredible. Even after all she had been through she had barely aged apart from a few laughter lines. She looked amazing.

Jenny stood next to Gibbs and smiles, a smile that lit up her face and every one else's. Ducky who had given her away placed her hand in Gibbs'. Ziva, Abby and Maria the brides maids sat down in their places and watched in awe at the couple. The service began and went smoothly. They said their vows and kissed in the place where they had first said those three words. 'I love you' Now, many years later they were finally getting married in that same place.

As those famous words were said – 'you may now kiss the bride' every one clapped and cheered. There was not a dry eye on the river bank. This pair had lost so much in their lives, yet had finally been given the best gift anyone could ever ask for – the gift of true love.

Night began to fall, and the group watched as the sun set on the river and the city of love. That title had been truly earnt tonight. As it set, the speeches began, and for everyone that meant a lot.

"Gibbs and I go back years. As Jenny knows, we don't often get along, but he one of those people you know you can depend on. Life throws challenges in our way as we all know, yet ~Gibbs has had more than his fair she. But he has beaten them and that is what has made him who he is, and earnt his the meaning behind the second b in his name. As much as he is a pain in the ass, un sociable, and uncooperative, he is one of the most loyal people you will ever meat and he deserves to be happy. I wish you both all the best, and Jenny, control him a little please."Tobias asked. It was a speech that had a lot of meaning behind it and one which everyone knew was heartfelt.

"I'll always remember the night in Cairo me and Jenny stayed up talking. I'll always remember how she would tell me about the man she had loved and left, the man she missed. It wasn't though, until I came to DC I realised that man was Gibbs. Jenny is like Gibbs in the way that she is loyal. Jenny has saved mine and many of our lived many a time, even if we don't know it. Those who only know he for her job title don't know the person inside. The one who was willing to go back into a burning house even fire fighter weren't willing to go into to get a woman's little boy. Jenny Sheppard is one of the bravest people I know, she is someone I know is always there for me even when I push her away. She deserves to be happy." Said Ziva. Gibbs and everyone was shocked by her words, the things she had said were heartfelt and unknown.

"I'm not one, for speeches, so all I'm going to say is this. I love you Jenny Sheppard, you make me laugh, smile, cheer me up and help me out. You're the strongest, bravest woman I know, you fight for what you believe in and are there for everyone. You are the one person I can always count on and I love you so very much." As Gibbs finished Jenny stood up and fully kissed him on the lips. His hands went to her hair and hers around his neck. Everyone smiled apart from Thomas who pulled a funny face and shouted "ewwww!" the pair pulled apart and everyone laughed.

Families are things everyone had if they just look around them. But for this group of people, they wouldn't have gotten theirs if it weren't for a secret kept, a person brought back, and a second chance. Facing up, sometimes, can turn your whole world upside down and make your dreams come true.

-The End-
