It took us another four hours to actually solve the case and Tony had fallen asleep at my desk waiting for me to finish. I sighed and picked him up, grabbing the bags and making my way down to the garage where my car was parked. Putting Tony in his car seat I made my way around the other side of the car and got in the drivers seat. I drove to Gibbs house knowing that I had to apologise for the way I'd acted, because I'd felt horrible the whole time. Looking down at my watch I saw that it was just after 1900. I sighed and turned off the car, grabbing Tony out of the back seat and making my way up to the front door. I knocked, knowing that it didn't feel right for me to just enter the house without Gibbs inviting me in. It took him half a minute to be at the door and opening it

"Jennifer" he said pain in his voice and a flicker of sadness in his eyes.

"Do you mind if I come in?" I asked and he nodded

"Have you guys eaten?" he questioned and I shrugged

"Tony did, I didn't get a chance to" I said and he nodded moving out of the road and I made my way upstairs to put Tony to bed.

After tucking Tony into the bed in the spare bedroom, I made my way back downstairs and into the kitchen where Gibbs was making dinner. He leant over and opened the fridge grabbing two bottles of beer and handing one to me.

"Thank you Jet" I said and he turned toward me, before turning back to the meal he was cooking. It was an awkward silence that fell between us, Gibbs had his full attention on cooking the meal and I was looking around awkwardly at everything that seemed to be in the room.

When Gibbs started plating up the meal and put them on the table he sat down at the table and I sat opposite him. Taking a taste of the stir fry he had cooked I moaned at the taste, it was delicious, my eyes flickered to Gibbs and saw that he was torn between emotions. After a couple of mouthfuls, I stopped, placing my knife and fork on my plate and said

"I am so sorry for how I acted this afternoon Jethro. It wasn't fair" I said and he nodded

"No it wasn't" he agreed and I continued

"I know this is no excuse for how I treated you but I'm so used to being treated like shit, to having people freak and run when they find out about Tony or when they actually meet him but you didn't. You have been more than understanding, you accepted my past and made sure that I feel loved everyday, you accepted my son, you have showed him love and support, tenderness and devotion and I can't ask for anything more. I freaked out this afternoon and I fell horrible, all afternoon I've been thinking about how much I screwed up and how much you wouldn't want me in my life" I said tearing up because it was the truth. Gibbs leant forward and grabbed my hand, squeezing it before he said

"I understand why you did it Jen, you've been hurt so many times by men that you find it hard to trust them, but I've been hurt too. I fear that if I love you both too much then I might lose both of you forever. I've already lost that deeply before I can't lose that again. In just a few short months you've gone from being my work place crush to being the love of my life. It hurt today, hurt that you didn't fully trust me enough to look out for Tony but I understand why" he said and I nodded

"I didn't mean to hurt you Jethro but your right, it was because I've been hurt. But I love you too and I love that you love Tony and want to be there for him" I said and he smiled. We continued our meals with smiles on our faces.

Jethro and I finished our meal and then headed over to the couch where he sat down first and then pulled me into his lap. Holding me close whilst our fingers were intertwined. We were kissing and making up for the hours we had lost. It was getting more heated and we Jethro was carrying me upstairs to the bedroom when I heard the scream and heart wrenching sob that came from Tony, one I knew all too well. As Jethro put me down I ran into the room where Tony was and sat on the bed next to him pulling him in for a hug. He sobbed into my chest and as he did so I rubbed circles on his back trying to reassure him that he would be alright. I saw Jethro disappear and then return a couple minutes later with a glass of water. Giving it to him he calmed down and I asked him what had caused his nightmare, what he said surprised both Jethro and I.

"I was scared that your fight would mean that I wouldn't get to see Jet any more. I love him lots and lots mummy", I looked at Jethro and saw a similar expression on his face that must've been on mine.

"Its alright Tony, your mummy and I are not going anywhere bud. We love you too" Jethro said making his way over to us. He sat down and Tony reached out for Jethro's hand.

"You promise?" he asked and Jethro looked at me nodding

"Promise" both of us said. Tony smiled and then yawned fighting sleep. We stayed with him until he had drifted back off and I took Jethro's hand as we made our way to the bedroom. Laying in bed wrapped in Jethro's arms he whispered

"I promise I'm not leaving you Jenny" and I smiled against his shoulder.
