Chapter three
Previously:
"Jethro" she said supressing a smirk.
"Madame Director" he replied with the same sexy grin that he's always had.
Now…
As the words left her brothers lips Abby's ears perked up. She turned from her place on Tim's desk and looked at her brother then followed his gaze until it too met the redhead who had left almost Twenty years ago.
She got up from her fiancé's desk and raced toward her "Jenny!" she squealed before pulling the redhead into a bone crushing hug or as much of one as she could with her five month pregnant stomach in the way.
"Abby, I can't believe it's you?" Jenny said looking down at the younger woman "How far along are you?" she asked looking at her obviously pregnant stomach.
The raven haired woman turned and looked at Tim who was approaching them with a smile; Abby reached out and grabbed his hand giving it a squeeze "Five months" she said with a smile.
"Congratulations, you too Tim" she said sending the boy a smile; she was pleased to find that he had stuck by his promise of looking after Abby; he was being her brick.
"It's good to see you Jenny" Tim said with a nod before he and Abby stood away letting the others greet her.
Tony was shocked, she was still hot even twenty years later, he was snapped out of ogling Jenny by the contact of Ziva's hand to the back of his head. "Sorry" he winced rubbing the back of his head.
"Hello Ziva, Tony" Jenny said stepping towards them "How are you?" she asked noting that they were closer than friends would be.
"Been married for the past four years" Tony said pulling the Israeli close and giving her a warm smile.
"We also have a son Logan" Ziva added before Tony kissed her forehead.
"I'm really happy for you guys" the redhead congratulated them with another smile, she had known even twenty years ago that they were meant for one another and that Tony and Ziva's love could last anything, this had just proven her right.
Kate then stepped forward, her eyes full of anger and hurt with a hint of hidden happiness behind it. "Kate I…" Jenny began but the brunet cut her off.
"How long have you been in D.C?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Three weeks?" Jenny said not sure she wanted to hear what was coming.
"Three weeks, Three weeks and you didn't even think to try and contact me?" Kate asked hurt that the woman whom had been her best friend since she was a little girl didn't even bother to tell her she was back in the area.
"I didn't…I was…" Jenny began to stutter not sure what to say because to be honest she hadn't even thought about it, she'd been so busy and any moments that she did get to think about being back in D.C would be consumed by Jethro, but she wouldn't tell any of them that.
"You didn't think I would want to know that a girl I considered a sister to me is back after twenty years without contact?" Kate asked anger evident in her tone, before a smile graced her features and she hugged the redhead "It's good to have you back Jen" she said with a smile.
"It's good to see you again" Ari said with a smile. Then Kate began to fill Jenny in on all that had happened, Ari and her getting married and Sarah and Eleora.
"Jennifer it is a pleasure to have you working with us" Ducky said hugging the redhead and kissing her cheek.
"Thank you Ducky" she said with a smile "I look forward to working with you guys, director Vance told me you are the best team NCIS has" she said sending them all a smile, her eyes lingering on Gibbs's for a little longer than it should have but she couldn't help it, it always had.
"I should get back to work" Jenny said after a couple of moments of silence before turning on her heels and heading to the stairs.
Gibbs watched as Jenny made her way up the stairs, the way she carried herself so gracefully even in heels, her hair swinging catching his eyes.
Abby noticed where her brother's gaze had landed and approached him as the others were deep in conversation with one another. "Why don't you go talk to her?" she asked standing in front of her brother's desk.
Gibbs looked at his little sister and couldn't help but smile, she was such an amazing person, she was everything he'd hoped she would be. "I can't Abs…she's not interested" he said shaking his head.
"Really because by the way she was looking at you I would say otherwise" Abby said getting a little bit frustrated, she loved her brother dearly but he could be such a pain in the arse sometimes. "Just go talk to her" she ordered before walking away approaching her fiancé.
Gibbs took a deep breath running a hand through his hair. Should he? Shouldn't he? Why did he always get confused when he thought of Jenny, absolutely anything to do with her and his mind was in knots. Taking another deep breath he made up his mind. He got up from his desk.
He kissed Abby on the cheek before walking off in the direction of the stairs, he took two at a time in order to be quicker.
"Is that all you'll need J…Director?" Cynthia asked the redhead forgetting that she shouldn't call her Jenny at work.
"Yes Cynthia, that will be all" Jenny said with a smile watching as the woman walked out closing the door behind her. Jenny took this moment to look around her office, it wasn't the biggest she's ever been in but what did that matter? She got out of her seat and walked to the window, she looked down to the harbour; at least it had a view.
She was lost in her thoughts so she didn't hear the other person enter the room until he spoke "I missed that view" his voice was deep and full of humour. Jenny knew who it was, how could she not? But yet she didn't turn around "The harbour isn't bad either" he continued with the sounds of his footsteps getting closer and closer.
Jenny finally turned around almost bumping into Gibbs; he put his hands on her shoulders to steady her. "Shall we skip the 'you haven't changed a bit bull?" she asked her eyebrows raised her eyes full of amusement. He dropped his hands from her shoulders.
"Why start lying to each other now Jen?" he quipped with his usual sexy crooked grin. Both laughed for a little while before Gibbs spoke again "I missed you Jen"
She couldn't believe he was saying those words to her "Don't make this difficult" she warned not knowing how their relationship and the history they shared was going to affect their ability to work together.
"I wanted to ask you out for dinner" he said taking the bull by the horns and just going with his gut or was it his heart when it came to Jenny?
Jenny's heart skipped a beat, he wanted to take her out for dinner of course she would love to but she couldn't help but shake the overwhelming hesitation that came over with the situation. "This isn't high school anymore" she said her voice full of emotion while her eyes full of regret for the words that were coming out of her mouth.
Jethro knew this was coming, he knew she would try and not take what he was offering her, "Let's start again" he said making her look at him.
"Start again?" she asked confused.
"Pretend that you and me never fell in love in high school, pretend we're just a man and a woman who like each other and go on a date with me on Friday night" he said wanting to get the chance to get to know her again, figure out where she had been, just the two of them with no team around; just the them.
"Okay" Jenny said with a nod before breaking out in a grin which Gibbs eagerly returned.
"Where are you living?" he asked excitedly.
"I'm back at the town house" she said remembering the memories that she and the man in front of her shared at the house.
"I'll pick you up at seven" he said with a smile and Jenny nodded eagerly. He kissed her on the cheek before leaving saying "Later Jen" before shutting the door behind him.
Jenny sat back down in her big chair, she pulled out the silver chain from around her neck, which had been hidden by her shirt. She held the heart shape pendent in her hand before tracing the two entwined J's with her thumb. What was she getting herself into? She thought with a smile.
TBC…
