Thanks for all your reviews and support I means a lot.
Chapter 4
Jenny had always thought that working alongside Jethro and the rest of the gang would be a lot harder than she was finding it so far. Gibbs had seemed to be on good behaviour, Jenny had heard from Vance and Cynthia that Gibbs and his team didn't usually play by the rules and she hadn't expected anything less but to her surprise he hadn't been much trouble for the past three days she had been working as the director.
Jenny was sitting in her new office, today would be her first day where she didn't have any meetings so it gave her a chance to catch up on paper work.
She took a moment to look around at what she achieved at where she got to; she smiled at the picture of her father in his marine uniform and next to that one of her mother and herself as a baby.
Taking a deep breath the redhead had a need for caffeine, she reached over to the cup she's got from Starbucks on the way to work only to find that it was empty, she groaned before leaning back in her chair and closing her eyes.
The sound of voices outside her door caught her attention, then the office door opening made her open her eyes, she smiled when her eyes locked with Jethro's and the smile widened when she noticed the coffee cups in his hands. "Jamaican blend?" he asked offering a cup to her.
"You remember" she said taking the cup with a nod.
"I remember a lot of things" he stated with his charming grin.
"Really?" she asked raising an eyebrow while bringing the cup to her lips.
"French food is always your favourite" Jethro confidently stated leaning against the table.
"You remember correct, would we be going to a French restaurant tonight?" she asked leaning towards him, batting her eyelids trying to get a clue of what he had planned for their date this evening.
"Maybe" he said getting up from the desk keeping eye contact with her all the time before leaving the office with a smile on his face.
Jenny was left with the same stupid smile, she just couldn't help it as much as she tried it was just the effect that man had on her.
Tony looked up as the sound of the door to Jenny's outer office shutting reached his ears, he turned and looked up to see Gibbs making his way down to the bullpen with a smile on his face, something that none of the gang had seen in a while and then the man walked into the direction of the elevator. "Pssst Ziva" Tony said trying to get his wife's attention.
"Yes Tony" Ziva asked looking over from the file she was writing.
"You see Gibbs was smiling, you think Jenny had something to do with it?" he asked leaning forward a bit more on his seat so he could gossip more.
At the sound of her friends name Kate looked up, "Does it matter Tony?" Ziva asked.
"Don't they both deserve to be happy?" Kate asked and Tim and Ari nodded in agreement.
"Of course they do but if they are starting up things again it might affect the work place and I think we as employees of NCIS and as their friends we should know" The Italian justified his questioning.
The other team mates just rolled their eyes, "I'm going to see Abs" Kate said getting up from her seat.
"I'll join you" Ziva said standing to join her sister in law, the brunet smiled before both woman walked to the elevator.
Meanwhile with Gibbs…
Ducky was sitting at his desk writing up an overdue autopsy report when the doors opened "Ah Jethro what can I do for you?" he asked with a smile, turning in his chair to face his friend.
"I asked Jenny out to dinner" He said at the lightning speed, he needed to talk to someone and he knew that he could talk to Abby but he knew his sister very well and knew she would over react and tell the whole world where as Ducky would appreciate the privacy that Gibbs wanted.
"Well I didn't expect…" The older man began but Gibbs cut him off.
"Neither did I" he said un characteristically nervously "But seeing Jenny again…she hadn't changed, she's the same just older and more beautiful…I've really missed her"
"Why do I hear a but coming up?" Ducky asked.
"What if she doesn't like who I've become, what if I've changed to much?" he asked his voice very serious.
"Is that really what the problem is? Or is the problem that your worried you won't like who she's become…It's been twenty years Jethro you're not the same people, you're not the teenagers I watched fall in love" he said remembering how he had watched the struggled between Jenny and Gibbs before they finally got together.
"I loved her Ducky, I really did" Jethro said shaking his head when he thought of Jenny leaving.
"I know you did and I do believe Jennifer loved you very much…unless you're forgetting I knew her before you and I can tell you, you were her first boyfriend and she loved you very much.
"I know you did Duck…I saw her on my first day, she was under the tree reading" he said recalling what he could remember, his eyes glazing over in memories and love.
"Good luck with tonight" Ducky said as Gibbs turned and walked out.
Hours later Jenny was tired of trying to read the hand writing of the agents and decided to visits Abby.
As the redhead stepped off of the elevator she was surprised to find the sound of Mozart reaching her ears, ever since she'd known Abby it had always been rock, heavy metal music.
"Jenny" the five month pregnant Goth said with a smile spinning around and giving the redhead an hug.
"Hey Abby and baby" she said looking down at the stomach.
Abby let out a smile "Mozart supposed to make them smarter" she explained.
"Jethro must be excited to be an uncle" Jenny said with a grin.
"Oh yeah, he's been so supportive, already offered to baby sit whenever, couldn't ask for a better brother" Abby said going to sit on a chair, her hand going to support her back.
"How's Jethro…what was he like after I left?" Jenny asked sitting on another chair opposite the raven haired woman.
She noticed her face drop "He changed" she said shaking her head, Jenny coked her head as to ask how "He started getting into trouble, grades began to slip, didn't hang round with us as much anymore, it got worse when the rumours about you started going around, he tried to stop them but he just kept getting into trouble"
"Rumours?" Jenny asked, feeling so guilty for effecting Jethro's life so much.
"Yeah, one was that you left because you got pregnant, one that you left because you're father killed himself, another that you left because you didn't want to be near Gibbs, he yelled at anyone that mentioned them" Abby said taking Jenny's hand and giving it a squeeze.
"How'd he join NCIS?" Jenny asked in a small voice.
"He joined the marines straight from school, me and dad tried to persuade him not to but it just meant arguments, after a couple of tours he got shot in the leg and was honourable discharged and he then joined NCIS and everyone kind of followed" Abby explained.
The older woman nodded, Abby could feel the dark mood glooming over them "Hey you know what" Abby said in a cheery voice. "Me and Timmy's wedding you can be a brides made" she said with a smile.
"Really?" Jenny asked.
"Of course I we need an extra one to even up the pairs, oh please say you will, we haven't got the dresses yet and I'm sure you'll look gorgeous" Abby said excitedly.
"Of course Abs" Jenny said hugging Abby "When is it?"
"After the babies born" she said putting a hand on her pregnant stomach.
Jenny nodded before looking at the clock "I should go Abs, thanks for talking to me" she said getting up and giving her another hug before heading home to get ready for her date with Jethro at the same time Gibbs did the same.
Jethro was more nervous than he thought he would be so he had a drink to settle his nerves one turned into another and another and another and before he knew it he was heavily drunk.
While he lay passed out drunk in his basement Jenny sat in her study, dressed up to go out on a date, sitting in the dark of her father's old study drinking bourbon as a tear rolled down her cheek. He wasn't coming.
TBC…
Naughty Gibbs, poor Jenny. You guys thought I would make it easy nah its not fun otherwise.
