I want to thank Fashiongirl97 for her help with this story and all my others, always full of great ideas, if you haven't already you should check out her Jibbs stories she's an amazing writer.
I'm having really bad writers block with all my stories but I'm trying to push through it but not coming up with much luck sorry. So this probably isn't one of my best chapters.
Chapter 17
"Jethro!" Jenny's voice rang through Gibbs's small house until it reached him in the basement.
Gibbs dropped the sander from where he stood working on the first crib and ran as fast as he could to their bedroom, he pushed open the door expecting his fiancé to be on the floor with a broken limb or her clutching her stomach because there was something wrong with the babies.
But no, the pregnant redhead stood with her hands on her hip beside the last box containing her shoes, the last box she needed to unpack before she was officially moved in.
"What's wrong Jen, did I forget a shoe or something?" Gibbs asked leaning against the door frame, knowing it was something he'd done as he was the one who'd packed that particular box.
"No" Jenny said glaring daggers at him "You just chucked the shoes in the box" she said pointing the box of shoes.
"Yeah" Gibbs asked and automatically regretted it knowing something bad was to come, he swear he saw flames flare in her eyes.
"Do you know what these are?" she asked pulling out a pair of black, strappy, very high heels that he's haphazardly placed in the box.
"A pair of shoes?" he asked.
"These are Jimmy choo's" She said shoving them in his face "You wanna know how much these cost me?" she asked in a sickly sweet voice.
"A lot" Gibbs commented, he didn't know much about shoes and even less about Jimmy choo's so by the way she was talking he'd taken they'd cost a lot.
"Exactly, you can't just throw them in a box" she explained all of a sudden feeling very tired a dizzy so had to sit down on the edge of the bed.
Gibbs sighed before walking over to a very tired and pale looking Jenny "I'm sorry for not taking better care of your shoes" he said taking her hands in his and giving them a squeeze.
"You broke rule six" she commented her green eyes finally having gone back to their normal bright colour.
"Rules don't apply between me and you" he said giving her a slight smile.
"Ok your forgiven" she said pulling him down to give him a peck on the lips before falling back onto the bed and closing her eyes for a moment.
"You sleep, I can unpack the rest of your shoes" Gibbs said noting how content Jenny looked from her position on the bed with her hand resting protectively on her baby bump.
"I'll do it….I'm just…closing my eyes for a….a minute" she murmured yawning as she spoke her eyes still closed.
"OK" Gibbs said placing a kiss to her forehead and walked out not wanting to start another argument knowing that her mood swings were getting worse and worse lately.
He then made his way back to the basement where he was momentarily neglecting his boat and was focusing on the cribs and rocking chair. Yes it would be easier for them to just buy it all but I wouldn't mean as much plus Gibbs felt guilty, Jenny had the hardest jobs of all, carrying them and giving birth to them, this was his way of giving to the children's life although he was sure that if he told Jenny this she would think he was being silly. But he pushed this thought out of his mind and began to sand the wood frame.
Before he knew it half an hour had passed, Gibbs wasn't surprised that he hadn't heard any movement upstairs he knew that Jenny was tired and the fact she couldn't sleep last night and had insisted that they both go and pack up her stuff so she could move in a half past six in the morning and then proceeded to help him pack things and then wanted to unpack everything herself once they returned to Gibbs/their house.
Gibbs decided that he should go check on her to make sure something really hadn't happened this time. So he dragged his feet up the stairs until he entered their bedroom quietly encase she was asleep.
Lucky he did because Jenny was still asleep in the same position from earlier only this time her breath was different as she was asleep and Angel was snuggled up against her.
Slowly the special agent came over to the bed and glance at his lover one more time, happy to see the contentness on her face, he liked to think he had something to do with that and of course he gave the devil puppy a scowl, but he couldn't stay mad at it, the dog made Jenny happy and some would say a happy Jenny was a happy Gibbs.
All of a sudden Gibbs became very glad of his special agent skill as he walked hardly making a sound to the box picking up pairs of shoes and putting them in the wardrobe until the box was empty and all without waking her up.
Once he was done he picked up the empty box and took it downstairs to the kitchen, as he made his journey he began to notice the little feminine touches around the house as Jenny's possessions entwined with his own and they didn't look out of place they looked like they'd always belonged.
After collapsing the cardboard box, Gibbs put it in the recycling with the others that he'd done the same with earlier.
He then made his way back up the stairs knowing that he should wake Jenny because he knew she would wake up complaining that he should have woken her but once he actually got to the bedroom and saw her asleep he didn't have the heart.
So he laid down next to her the opposite side of Angel before laying an arm across her baby bump his hand entwining with her hand that was already there "Welcome home Jen" he mumbled before pressing a kiss to her head content just to watch her sleep.

So a short filler chapter, please suggestions?
