Chapter 26
It was not until two days later that Jenny woke up.
The first thing Jenny was aware of when she did was the smell of hospital disinfectant and beeping from a machine.
She opened her eyes slowly only to shut them again as the bright lights hit her eyes making her groan in frustration.
Gibbs was sitting in the arm chair, he had recently come back from seeing the twins. They were both getting stronger and healthier, he also had more pictures of them for Jenny to see and was looking at them when he heard the groan come from his fiancé.
He looked up and turned his gaze to her, dropping the pictures in his lap he claps one of her hands in both of his "Jenny" he calls her name "Wake up" he tried to coax's her once more.
"Jethro" Jenny mumbled finally opening her eyes and blinking a couple of times so they could adjust to the light. She gave him a loving smile.
Gibbs brought her hand to his lips and kissed it lovingly "I love you Jen" He stated with watery eyes.
"Love you too" Jenny assured him with a smile as Gibbs sat up and hit the button to get the nurse. "How are they?" she asked.
"They're perfect" he stated giving her the latest pictures. Jenny took them and looked at them; to her they looked almost like aliens not like babies.
"Your awake" Dr Lucy Fields stated as she walked into Jenny's hospital room "How are you feeling?" she asked walking over to Jenny and pulling the stethoscope from around her neck.
"Tired, sore, I want to see my babies" Jenny couldn't help the grin on her face. She was a mother, it hadn't sunk in yet, she had twins, a little boy and a girl.
"You can soon, just let me check your vitals first" Lucy gave Jenny a comforting smile before moving Jenny's gown so she could hear her heart beat.
Ten minutes later after Lucy had been through many tests and concluded that Jenny was well "I'll get you a wheelchair so you can go see the twins" Lucy promised before walking out leaving Jenny and Gibbs alone.
"I got them some teddies, the boy I got a lion and the girl I got a unicorn" Gibbs explained as Jenny once again looking at the pictures of the twins and noted the cuddly in the incubator next to them. Jenny smiled to her fiancé just as the nurse came in with the wheelchair.
Gibbs nodded his thanks before going to help Jenny out of the bed, "Thank you" Jenny kissed Gibbs on the cheek as he helped her get into the chair.
"It's time for Mummy to meet her babies" Gibbs gave Jenny a kiss on the cheek and a grin before beginning to wheel her towards the intensive care unit.
Moments later Jenny let out a sigh or of relief as she came face to face with the incubators labelled as baby Gibbs girl and baby Gibbs boy. She looked down inside the glass boxes and there lay her babies, her children, her little boy, her little girl.
They had all sorts of tubes and wires coming out of them and they were so small. "Its my fault" Jenny mumbled. Gibbs placed a hand on her shoulder.
"They're going to be fine" Gibbs assured her.
"How do you know that" Jenny stated almost getting hysterical "I haven't even been a mother for a week and she'd already failed.
"I have a gut feeling" He pressed a kiss to her forehead "The doctors say they'll be fine, then they will"
Jenny nodded wiping an escaped tear from her cheek, "They need names" she stated with a smile as she looked to the baby boy to the girl, they were still precious to her.
"I like the names we already picked out, but it's up to you" Gibbs commented as he rested his head on Jenny's shoulder.
Jenny nodded "I think they will be perfect"
"Then I'll get the certificates ready" A nurse said having overheard Jenny and Gibbs's conversation before walking off.
An hour later Gibbs had just helped Jenny back into her bed and was now sitting on the edge of her bed "I think we should have the gang here, to tell them the twins names?" Jenny asked as Gibbs took her hand and run his thumb over her knuckles.
"Yeah that'll be great, I'll give them a call" Gibbs nodded before pulling out his phone.
"McGee residence Abby speaking" Abby answered.
"Hey Abs its me"
"Jethro" Abby squealed her brother's name down the phone "Are Jenny and the babies ok?" she asked her voice full of worry.
"Yeah their all fine, Jenny woke up and has seen the twins, we were wondering if you guys were coming to the hospital to meet the twins?" Gibbs said giving Jenny's hand a squeeze.
"Of course will come, were all here now so we'll come soon if that's ok"? Abby asked looking at her other guests who nodded to her.
"Ok see you guys soon" Gibbs replied before putting the phone down.
Half an hour later the whole gang burst into the room. Jack walked over to Jenny and kissed her cheek "How are you?" he asked.
"I'm good" Jenny nodded with a smile.
While Abby hugged Gibbs "I told you they would all be ok" she whispered into his ear before pulling away.
Kate then walked over to Jenny and hugged her friend "See everything's ok" she stated knowing that Jenny had been very worried about having the twins.
"So what do they look like" Tim asked.
"Ugh babies McGoo" tony snorted with a slight chuckle only to get a jab in the chest from his wife.
He glared at Ziva "Play nice" the Israeli said with a threatening glare to her husband. Tony nodded discreetly before taking a big gulp.
"We have pictures" Jenny stated picking them off of the cabinet and handing them to Tim who was suddenly surrounded by everyone.
"They're cute" Abby said with a smile as she looked at her niece and nephew.
"They are" Jack nodded in agreement "Do they have names yet?" he asked.
"The boys called Benjamin Jasper Gibbs and the girl is Amelia Ann Gibbs" Gibbs said proudly, taking Jenny's hand in his and squeezing it.
"Aww Ben and Amy, I like it" Ziva nodded to her friends as she looked at the pictures.
"Have the doctors mentioned when they might be well enough to go home?" Kate asked knowing that they would probably have to stay in the hospital for a couple of months.
"All doctors have said is that they are doing good" Gibbs replied.
"I'm sure they are going to be fine" Ari stated confidently placing an arm on Kate's shoulder knowing it would be bringing back memories of how Sarah and Eleora were born and so was he.
