-Gibbs Point of View-
The week seemed to pass by in the slowest manner possible. I was excited for the weekend, to get to see Tony again but most of all to see Jenny and for them to come over and spend the weekend, it was going to be amazing. Jenny had come up and seen me a couple times over the past couple days just to see that I was fine and she'd even brought more sandwiches for me to eat. However today was here day off and I actually missed the visits that she did.
"Oi Probie, get back to work" Mike called across the bullpen and I nodded
"Right" I said grabbing my pen and writing my report of what had happened in the case so far. I was so caught up in what I was writing that I didn't notice the loud squeal that came from by the elevator when Tony walked out with Jenny in tow.
"Probie!" Mike called, I looked up saw him tilt his head in the direction of the elevator and saw an eager four year old standing beside his mother, I looked back at Mike and he nodded. I made my way over to them and smiled
"Tony" I said and he ran into my arms
"Hey Jet, I missed you lots" he said and I smiled kneeling down and smiling
"I missed you too Tony" I said and then looked at Jenny and mouthed 'missed you too' and she smiled. Taking Tony's hand and Jenny walking close behind us I took them to the break room, getting a drink of orange juice out of the fridge and giving it to Tony who looked extremely happy and even blew me kisses as thank you.
"So what are you two doing here?" Gibbs asked and I smiled
"Tony has been begging me all week for a chance to get to see you, he's the one whose been insisting that I make you lunch and bring it to you everyday. I guess I caved a little faster than usual cause I wanted to see you as well" she answered and I smiled, I hadn't had any one do that for me in such a long time that it kind of felt foreign to me, but more than anything it felt right. Smiling I knelt in front of Tony and asked
"What have you been doing this week Tony?" he sat in thought for a couple of seconds before answering
"Mummy and I we been playing forts, and last night we played knights and dragons. It was really fun" he said a smile on his face
"I bet, I'm really looking forward to Sunday" I told them both looking from Tony up to Jenny and saw the smile on her face knowing that she was too.
"Oh me too Jet, we can play games and watch movies and eat popcorn" he said rabbiting off a list of things to do and I nodded
"I'm sure we can do all of that" I answered, I was just about to ask him something when Mike ran into the cafeteria and said
"Probie grab your gear we have a new suspect" he called before leaving again. I gave an apologetic look to Tony who frowned a little before saying goodbye and kissing Jenny on the lips before making my way out to the squad room.
The suspect we'd caught ended up with a broken bone, from a tackle that Mike through his way during the pursuit. But as he was in interrogation with Tom and the paramedics being fixed up for now I made my way back into the squad room putting my gun and badge back in my desk before sitting down to write up my report. I knew that if this guy didn't confess then we would be working tirelessly over the next day until we caught him. I looked up as something caught my attention, something that hadn't been there when I'd left before. It was a post-it note attached to the inside of my lamp, I pulled it down and read the writing that I was slowly learning to love, the tilted script that read 'Maybe this weekend'. It didn't take a scientist to work out who'd wrote that note and as I ran my thumb along the edge of the note I felt something within me change, something I hadn't felt in a long time.
"He confessed probie, we have him and he's going away" Mike said with pride as he walked down the hall with Tom next to him, both of them looked incredibly happy and I hid my smile, the one that would get me in trouble if they saw it.
"Great, I'll finish my report and then head home" I said, getting back to work. When I was done and had handed Mike my report he smiled and nodded letting me go. I grabbed my backpack and then over to the elevator, catching the knowing smile on Tom's face not even bothering to hide my excitement now. I drove home and instead of heading downstairs to work on my boat I went upstairs to change and go to sleep.
When I woke, I felt incredibly refreshed and looked around my room knowing that if I was to have Jenny in my bedroom then I would have to clean and change the sheets. Heading downstairs to put the washing in the machine and putting the coffee machine on I thought about going down to the basement to work on the boat but it just wasn't something I felt I could do at the moment. After pouring myself a cup of coffee I decided to ring Jenny and when the phone was picked up after two dial tones I smiled
"Jennifer speaking" she answered and I smiled
"Hey Jen" I said and heard her breath hitch a little
"Jethro, I thought you weren't going to be home or if you were you'd be sleeping" she said and I smiled
"We finished the case last night, I caught up on sleep. I was wondering if you and Tony would mind coming over a day early?" I asked and didn't have to wait for the response that came
"We would love that" she answered and I felt my heart swell with pride
"Alright then I'll see you soon" I said and she told me that her and Tony would be there just before lunch and I smiled
"Love you Jen" I said and she chuckled
"Love you too Jethro" she said and I hung up the phone.
Knowing that Jennifer and Tony were going to be here in just a little while eased a lot of tension that I didn't actually realise I had. I knew that this weekend was going to be the start of something serious, more serious than I had let myself get involved in for what felt like an eternity now. Honestly it surprised me that I'd lasted this long, this long without someone to love and cherish, someone to make love to and listen to, I missed my wife and daughter so much but knew that I was ready to move on, not completely bury them inside but enough for me to move on and be something for Tony and Jenny, they deserved so much more than what I had to offer and that was what bothered me about this whole thing, I think I'm ready to settle down and be serious again but is that what Jennifer is looking for? I mean I'd seen a different side to Jen, a side that I'm sure no one since Tony's father had seen and for that I was glad but was this really love? Could I have fallen in love with this amazing women who had made me so happy in such a short time? I sighed, looking at myself in the hall mirror and saw something that hadn't been there a month ago, the glint of happiness that shined through the smile that was spread across my face just at the mere thought of Jen and Tony. Chuckling to myself I left the hall and entered the kitchen noticing that I didn't really have any food in my cupboard or fridge that was really appetising for a four year old or for any type of company really.
I headed to the local grocery store and brought everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to a packet of sprinkle doughnuts something that I hadn't actually had since Kelly and Shannon had passed away, giving up the sweet treats and sugary foods because it wasn't good for me but I guess I could live with it. I arrived at home just as Jennifer was getting out of the car with Tony, who as soon as he saw me ran to the side of my car and squealed in delight
"Jet, I missed you" he said wrapping his chubby little arms around my legs as I got out of the car and walked around to the back to grab the bags of groceries, placing a hand on his shoulder I smiled down at him and said
"I missed you too Tony, do you want to help me bring in these bags?" I asked and he nodded, seeing this I handed him the two lightest bags and grabbed the rest of them heading toward the door. I'd surprised myself when I'd left and actually locked the front door. So when Jenny arrived at my side and noticed that we hadn't gone in yet she raised an eyebrow and I smiled
"I know right, I locked the door. The keys are in my front pocket" I said and she smiled, putting her free hand into my left pocket, I felt myself harden slightly and Jenny must have noticed too cause she had a smirk on her face and a knowing glint in her eye, looking anywhere but Jenny I glanced down at Tony and was glad that he seemed to be preoccupied with sneaking glances inside the shopping bags he was holding, letting out a squeal of delight when he saw the doughnuts in the bag.
"Oh Jet can we please have doughnuts for dessert?" he asked and I looked at Jenny to see her reaction, when she gave a slight head nod I smiled at him
"Sure Tony, we can have doughnuts for dessert" I said and he jumped excitedly. It took about half an hour for me to put the groceries away and for me to give them the tour of the house before Tony begged for us to go play in the back yard, especially after he'd seen the playground that remained from when Kelly was little.
"Come on Jet, we have to go play pirates" he said grabbing my hand and dragging me out the door, as I made my way out Jenny placed a quick peck on my lips and I smiled before heading out with Tony.
An hour and a half passed and I carried a warn out Tony inside and upstairs to the bedroom that he would be using during his time here. When I walked into the lounge I saw Jenny sitting on one end of the couch reading a book, she looked up as I entered the room and smiled
"I heard you taking him to bed, did you wear him out?" she asked and I smiled, nodding my head
"It takes me longer to wear him out to the stage he'll sleep for any length of time during the day" she said placing the book down as I sat beside her
"Well, I don't have a solution for that but I may have a solution for how we could wear ourselves out tonight" I said raising my eyebrows and she giggled, before leaning over and kissing me
"Alright, but what can we do in the mean time?" she asked and I smiled
"I could prepare dinner and you could continue reading your book?" I suggested and she nodded, so I got up but not before a quick make out session that had her breathless.
A/N: Here you go my lovely fans and I am so sorry it took so long for me to update and I apologise profusely. Any way next chapter will be rated a little higher and be a little bit more fluff and stuff between Jenny and Gibbs, of course there will also be some very cute scenes between Tony and Gibbs also and working on the boat together like I promised. Please tell me what you think!
