I'm running ahead of schedule. I promise I will try to get ch4 on tomorrow night but I can't guarantee anything. K thnxs 4 all the reviews. Their really inspiring! Lalelis ure right: they will have to learn to stop messing with Gibbs one day but it will be a shame! Thanks again 2 Penny. I have added a quote from twilight in here so try to find it!

Jenny gulped as she leaned against the corner of the elevator. Gibbs was in the opposite corner. For some reason Gibbs seemed so big. It reminded her of a quote - 'And so the lion fell in love with the lamb'. The next part didn't fit but it was a good match. She gulped and prepared herself as Gibbs' ice cold blue eyes bore into her.

"You had our daughter and didn't tell me!" said Gibbs. His voice was dangerously quiet.

Jenny stared at the floor, at a loss for what to say. "You were gone by the time she was born. You weren't there and she said she was fine without a dad. Plus I didn't know where you were until I became director."

"You could have found out." He snarled.

"I didn't want to." She said, jutting out her chin.

Gibbs' eyes bulged and Jenny knew she had hit a pressure point.

"YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO KNOW ABOUT MY DAUGHTER!" he practically shouted.

"You weren't there and you didn't call me anymore." Jenny shot back.

"I didn't know if you were undercover! Also, we decided we weren't going to have anything to do with each other anymore!" said Gibbs.

This broke Jenny's stride but she quickly regained her balance. "You decided that we weren't going to have anything to do with each other." She said.

"NO. WE DECIDED!" Gibbs shouted.

"YOU DIDN'T CARE!" yelled Jenny.

"I just wanted you to be happy." Said Gibbs.

Jenny looked up into his eyes and realised he meant every word he said. It shocked her slightly. She never knew that Gibbs had just wanted her to be happy. "I would have been happy with you but I just wanted you to be happy." She said as she wiped a tear away from her eye.

Gibbs held her shoulders and stared into her eyes. Jenny hated the way his eyes were when he was angry. "I loved you." He said, "And still do."

Jenny smiled and then kissed him. They kissed for what only seemed like seconds before Gibbs broke away. "People want to use the lift." He said and flipped the switch. Jenny nodded. "Let's go see our kid." He said.

Gibbs and Jenny linked arms as they stepped into the hospital. Jenny leaned into him as if she was scared about what they were going to find. Gibbs put a comforting shoulder around her arm. He had let the armed guard go have a couple of hours off. He just wanted it to be himself, Jenny and their kid.

They walked through several wards before coming to their daughter's ward. It gave Gibbs a reality check. He had never thought that he would say, "My daughter" anymore. He wondered if she was going to be as perfect as Kelly.

The door seemed to take an eternity to swing open. Gibbs was shocked at what he saw. The young girl in the bed was definitely his and Jenny's. She had the longest, softest beautiful red hair that he had seen. It was the exact same shade of red as Jenny's. Then there were her eyes. They were the exact same piercing blue as his. There was also a shock for Gibbs. The figure wrapped in sheets looked so frail, so sad. Gibbs just wanted to hug her and tell her that everything was alright. Instead he had to sit by her side and stroke her hand.

He sat by her side and listened to the heavy, measured sound of her breathing. It was agonizing. The doctor soon noticed they were there and came in to speak to them.

"How is she doctor?" asked Jenny.

"She is fine. We are just waiting for her to wake up." He said.

"Is she in pain?" she asked.

"We won't know until she wakes up." Said the doctor as he sadly shook his head. "She is lucky. It could have been a lot worse."

Jenny smiled and sat back down next to Elizabeth. The doctor left. "Please wake up Lizzie." She muttered as she stroked her hand. "Please!" she begged.

An hour later Gibbs and Jenny were preparing to leave. They were just saying their good-byes to Lizzie when her eyes fluttered.

Jenny gasped. Her girl had finally woken up! "Lizzie?" she asked. The girl nodded. "Are you ok?" The girl nodded again. "Can you see me?" The girl fully opened her eyes and her smile became wide when she saw Jenny.

"Mum!" she said surprised.

"Lizzie!" exclaimed Jenny.

"Why am I in a hospital?" asked Lizzie.

"You don't remember what happened?" asked Jenny. Concern spread across her face.

Lizzie looked around for a moment. Then she inhaled deeply and fell back into her pillow. Fear and pain crossed across her face. Tears ran down her face. "He grabbed me." she gasped, "He kept touching me. That room. So dark and scary. The knife. The alleyway."

Jenny gently stroked her hair. "It's ok baby." she whispered as Lizzie cried.

Lizzie looked round the room and noticed Gibbs. "Who are you?" she manged to choke thorugh her tears.
