Thanks for the reviews but I still can't think of many songs pls tell me some! I have hit my target for reviews this week so i am thinking about trying to get over 30 by Sunday.

Gibbs knew where the shots were coming from. He knew who had been hurt. He knew whose awful scream it was. Ziva, Tony and Mcgee stared at him in shock. Gibbs raced up the stairs. The first thing he saw was the carpet, covered in glass. He saw Cynthia crouched down beside her desk. Everything seemed to be in slow motion to him. He ran through the door to Jenny's office. He saw her curled up in the far corner, unconscious, as blood streaked down her head. Gibbs looked around and realised that there was too much blood. Then he saw the massive bullet wound in Jenny's leg. He swore in a typical marine style before kneeling down beside her and hugging her. He didn't mind the blood on his jacket.

"Come on Jen." He whispered into her ear, "You're gonna be just fine."

He noticed Cynthia standing in the doorway. "Call an ambulance!" he yelled at her.

Gibbs rode in the ambulance with Jenny to the hospital. He held her hand as they rolled her through the corridors. They had to take her straight into surgery and remove the bullet otherwise she could bleed to death. Unusually, Gibbs waited patiently outside the door. He thought everything was going to be fine until he saw Abby and Lizzie coming down the corridor. Lizzie had tears streaking down her face as she ran to her dad. Abby followed close behind, in her normal worried state.

"OMG!" moaned Lizzie as she hugged Gibbs. "Is mum ok?"

"I don't know." Said Gibbs sadly.

Just then the doors to surgery opened. Jenny was coming out of surgery! Gibbs, Lizzie and Abby anxiously watched as Jenny was wheeled into a ward. She did not look good. Lizzie hid her face in Gibbs' chest and cried. She didn't want to see her mum like this. Abby just stared as Jenny disappeared down the long, white corridor.

The doctor stepped out of surgery.

"Mr Shepard?" he asked.

"No. It's Gibbs." Replied Gibbs. He hated it when this happened. Why did everyone think he was Jenny's husband?

The doctor gave Gibbs a weird look. "She's my boss and we accidentally had a kid." Gibbs explained. The doctor stared at him like he was an idiot. Well, I am sometimes, thought Gibbs.

"Well, if you want to know, she will be fine. She will have to use crutches for a few weeks. We will let her go home when she wakes up." He said.

Gibbs looked down at him and smiled. "Thanks." He said and rushed down the corridor with Lizzie and Abby to see her.

Jenny was lying in a bed in the middle of the room. Abby didn't like it in the hospital. It was too bright, white and clean. There was no black or heavy metal or any good music. Gibbs and Lizzie stood around the bed while Abby stood by the door. She slipped out to give them some privacy. It was so nice that Gibbs had a family again. His daughter, Lizzie, looked about only nine but she was really almost thirteen. She really was a genius. Abby liked her. A lot.

Gibbs looked at Jenny. She seemed so beautiful to him. Her long, red her was fanned out on the pillow. Her long eyelashes fluttered every so often but she didn't wake up.

Lizzie watched Gibbs. It was evident to her that Gibbs really did love her mom. He wouldn't show it that often but he did. She wondered what had happened in his past that had made him so sad. She wondered how he felt, meeting his daughter after all these years.

Abby had to go back to her lab after about an hour of waiting. Gibbs and Lizzie stayed for three hours before Gibbs decided to go back and figure out who had tried to shoot Jenny.

When he walked back into the NCIS building evrything was mayhem. Everyone wanted to know what had happened. Gossip had done it's rounds and there was rumors that Jenny's old lover had trie d to bump her off for having a relationship and a kid with Gibbs. Another rumor was that it was a terroist attack. Another was that the bullet had been meant to hit Cynthia who had supposedly dated a greek terroist. Tony and Ziva tried to sort out the rumors but they had no luck. Mcgee typed on his latest novel. He had some great ideas.

As soon as Gibbs walked into the bullpen with Lizzie everyone relaxed. It was going to be better now that Gibbs was there - wasn't it? Tony, Ziva and Mcgee instantly asked how Jenny was.

"She's fine." replied Gibbs, "She's sleeping but will wake up soon. The only problem is that she will have to use crutches."

Everyone smiled when they heard this. Ziva gave Lizzie a hug. Gibbs was just going to give the team their jobs when he heard a familier voice. He turned round and saw one grey head and one black head. He gasped as he remembered who they were. Today was not going well, thought Gibbs as he cursed under his breath.
