Chapter 51 – Writer's Blog
"You gonna tell me why you're leaving?"
Jenny chose to ignore this comment. "I'll miss you too." She smiled,
"Don't screw with me Jen; you're going halfway across the world!"
You didn't mind when I screwed you last night and I went to Mars and back. Jenny thought, but instead replied with a girly, teasing smile, "No, I'll miss you more."
"Jennifer…" Jethro warned,
"Bye Jethro."
"I'm not finished Jen."
Jenny rolled her eyes and gave up the charade, "You never are." She snapped.
"You mad at me Jen?"
Yes! She screamed in her head, I want to have a baby Jethro! Before it's too late!
"No."
"Then what's wrong?" He demanded, "Why are you going?"
"I just need some time alone… to think."
Gibbs sighed. He'd heard that before. Two of his four wives had needed 'time alone' so that they 'could think'. Diane definitely wasn't alone, and she definitely wasn't thinking. Stephanie however, well, she probably did go and think on her own. Either way both times had resolved with a visit to the divorce lawyer.
"Jethro… I'm not thinking about that."
Gibbs looked her in the eye, "It wouldn't be the first time Jen."
"I'll miss you Jethro."
"You better." He murmured before pulling her into a loving kiss.
"I love you Jethro."
"I love you too, Jen."
Their lips met once more before they both turned and walked away, Jethro to his car, Jenny onto the plane that would take her to a small town in Wales.

Later that day Gibbs walked to Tony and Ziva's front door and knocked. It was opened by Catryn, who grinned and accepted the hug he offered.
"Hi Jet!" She smiled.
Gibbs pretended to be annoyed with the nickname, but Catryn knew he actually liked it.
"Happy birthday."
"Thanks. Where's Jenny?"
"She uh, went on a last minute vacation. She sends her best wishes though, and this is from both of us." Gibbs gave Trina a small wrapped gift.
"Ok." She hugged him again, "Thanks for the gift."
They walked inside and Trina led Gibbs to the living room.
Tony and Ziva hadn't had time to organise a birthday party for Catryn yet, so they had invited everyone around to have a birthday dinner.
Tony had originally suggested a lunch so Trina could be pulled out of school (and him out of work) but Ziva had managed to organise a Bat Mitzvah, pulling Trina out of school anyway. (AN: I'm not Jewish and I don't know much about Judaism birthdays other then boys have Bar Mitzvah's at 13 and girls Bat Mitzvah's at 12, but just go with me here…)
Once everyone had arrived, Trina and the others sat in Tony and Ziva's large living room (complete with home cinema) and watched as Trina opened her presents.
From Abby she received a cute black and white rah-rah skirt and black skinny jeans. From Ducky a collection of Roald Dahl books. From Palmer a DVD of 'Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging' ("My cousin really loves it, she's a bit older then you though..."). Kate gave her a green singlet with silver sequins along the top and a CD of Katy Perry's latest single. McGee gave her a rectangular gift that looked and felt suspiciously like a book, when opened it was revealed to be a copy of Twilight. Jenny and Gibbs gave her a beautiful necklace with a gold locket.
Tony and Ziva however, gave her the newest iPod nano, a knife, a pair of diamond earrings (that had once belonged to Ziva's grandmother), clothes, DVD's, and Catryn's favourite; a mouse.
"She's so adorable!" Trina grinned.
The mouse was white and small, in its own intricate cage complete with tubes, a running wheel, food/water and lots of straw to hide in.
"Aww, what are you gonna name her?" Asked Abby,
Trina thought, "I dunno."
They all looked at the small animal until Trina decided. "Sarah," she said, "I'll name her Sarah"
"Oooh, pretty." grinned Abby,
"It's Hebrew for Princess." Smiled Trina,
"Wait… Isn't that what you suggested we name the baby?" Asked Tony,
"Yea."
"So you thought the name you were going to give your little sister would be just as good for a mouse?"
Trina nodded.
"I will never understand how a women's mind works."
"But I'm not a woman, I'm a child."
"I'm going to remember that miss I'm-not-a-child-I'm-twelve-years-old."
Trina stuck her tongue out, and Tony did the same.
Kate and Ziva rolled their eyes.
"Sometimes," said Ziva, "I wonder how I will manage to live with three kids."
"Hey!" Said Trina and Tony as everyone else laughed,
"Speaking of children." smiled Ziva, "I think it is time you went to bed Catryn."
"But Mum!"
Ziva fixed Trina with a stare.
"Fine." Trina sighed, she turned to her step-father, "Dad…?" She pouted,
"Sorry Kitty, but if one thing in this world scares me, it's your mum."
Catryn nodded and kissed his check, then Ziva, Abby, Kate, Ducky and Gibbs. She gave an awkward smile to Palmer and ruffled McGee's hair much to his distaste.
"Night, Mum, Dad."
"Night Kit-Kat."
"Goodnight Trina."
Trina turned to the other's, "Night Abby, Gibbs, Palmer, Kate, Ducky, McBookworm."
Tim sighed at the nickname. Trina was oddly Tony-like, and to be honest it creeped him out. So much so, he'd made Trina (or rather Tina) Tommy's long lost daughter.
Tina Davidson had been living in Italy when her mother Sophie had died in a car accident. Her grandfather had helped her find her father. Agent Tommy and Officer Lisa had been quite shocked when the girl had arrived at NCIS speaking in Italian, claiming to be Tommy's daughter.
He wondered how painfully Ziva would kill him when she read that. He could always go with the 'purely fiction' line but he knew she wouldn't buy it. He then wondered if Catryn would kill him. Did she even read Deep Six and Rock Hollow?
Probably not. She only just turned twelve and twelve year olds didn't read crime fiction. Excluding his little sister. Now she really was a McBookworm.
McGee snapped out of his thoughts to see Trina and Ziva had left the room, as had Gibbs and Palmer. But Abby and Ducky were chatting animatedly about politics and Kate and Tony were flirting in the corner.
He rolled his eyes, couldn't they stop? Sometimes Tim thought they were worse then Tony and Ziva, and really they were. Granted Tony and Ziva had been much worse before their relationship was exposed but now... McGee shivered at the sudden memory invading his mind. 'Exposed' was a good word for it. He wondered if Kate knew about that security tape.
His eyes went wide with the idea that Kate and Tony had used the elevator for the same thing. He was halfway through a mental note of mentioning it to Abby and checking old security footage when he shivered. No, he did not need to see Kate and Tony having sex or making out.
"Are you cold Timmy?" Asked Abby, noticing his shivers,
Not trusting his voice, McGee shook his head.
"Ok." Abby turned back to Ducky and their conversation continued, this time about different breeds of dog.
Tony and Kate were still flirting. McGee looked at them and thought about Ziva. What did she think about this? He supposed Tony wasn't doing more then his usual flirty nature he did around all females; hell he even behaved like that to Abby and Jenny.
But Kate was… Kate was damn right flirting. Ziva had never behaved jealously towards Kate, she had never marked her territory, and Kate had seemed to have accepted Tony and Ziva's relationship.
Well… There was that fiasco when they found out about Ziva's pregnancy. Didn't Tony say something about Kate never taking off a promise ring? And then Kate ran off in tears when she saw the ring on Ziva's finger.
McGee looked at them, and saw how Kate was fiddling with a ring on her finger. She was still in love with him…
Maybe Special Agent Krystal could fall in love with Tommy.
No.
He wanted his fans to like her.
Perhaps Tina could turn out to be Tommy and Krystal's child, and Krystal's best friend Sophie adopted her.
Ziva would actually murder him for that.
…And so would Kate.
McGee sighed and joined in Ducky and Abby's conversation. He really had to stop writing about his team mates, it was killing him slowly.
Reviews are love!!
Oh and anyone who wants to see anything happen just let me know! Even if it's in the past or an AU of this fic i'll write it! (remember i have 'A Collection of A Kiss and a Promise Fickles')
