When we picked up Tony the following morning from Tom's house, we took Tony out for breakfast to break the news to him. I was incredibly nervous anticipating his reaction, and Jethro was continually squeezing my hand to reassure me that he would take it well. Tony was telling both of us what he and Tom had done and how much he had missed us. We at and ordered our breakfast and before our meal turned up I looked at Jethro for help and he nodded, before reaching out and grabbing Tony's hand, Tony looked up from the toy train he'd been playing with and smiled

"What's up Jet?" he asked and Jethro smiled

"Your mum and I want to ask you something, and its a big thing do you think you could give us a truthful answer?" Jethro asked and he nodded

"Of course Jet" he stated, I felt a squeeze of my hand and Jethro asked

"Would you like it if you and your mummy moved in with me?" Tony looked between Jethro and I before he nodded

"I would like that very muchly" he said and I sighed in relief, getting up and hugging Tony before kissing him on the top of his head.

"See I told you he wouldn't mind" Jethro said kissing me before kissing the top of Tony's head. After that moment both Tony and I were happy and excited to be moving in with Jethro. Though since it was the middle of the week we were going to have to wait until the weekend for our big move. But every chance I got whilst at home I spent packing our things.

When the weekend came Tony and I were getting ready for Jethro's eight am arrival with his Ute and for Tom and Franks were coming as well, something about seeing their young partner settling down again after all this time was a milestone that they wanted to be around for. So as the guys loaded up the back of the Ute with boxes Tony and I took one last look around our house one last time. I remembered all the memories I'd had in this house, most of them good, some of them I was gad to be leaving behind here. From Tony's first night home from hospital to the first time he'd taken his first steps and said his first word. We'd both done so much growing in this house, so much love and hurt had been through each room and it was kind of sad to be leaving. I felt the familiar arms wrap around my waist as Jethro came into the room and he rested his head on my shoulder, whispering

"Is there anything left to take?" and I shook my head but motioning for him to take Tony

"Just give me a minute?" I asked the question coming out strangled and I looked back at him and he nodded, taking Tony from my arms and left the room.

I walked into the kitchen and checked all the cupboards, then the lounge, I made my way through each room to see if anything had been forgotten. I walked into the room that had been mine for the last five years, and frowned, that first year had been hard. I walked in and checked every spot that could possibly hide something and before I knew it I was standing in Tony's room where he had gone from being the adorable little infant to the sweet little toddler and now as he became my strong little man. Again I checked for anything that could've been left behind and as I did so I found Tony's most treasured teddy bear that had been missing for a couple of weeks. I exited the room and checked the last cupboard in the house the one that I never used for anything other than putting the cleaning products in when I wasn't using them. I was about to close it and head out of the house when something caught my attention. The only thing that Tony's father had ever sent him and the box of letters that he'd written and I'd never opened, torn between reading the lies that I was sure would be in them to chucking them all in the bin. I stood there in debate for a couple of minutes before I heard Jethro ask

"What's that?" and I shrugged

"Nothing" but I saw the concern in his eyes

"Can you please put these in the trash? I'll be out in the car" I said shoving the box into his hands and running from the house. The keys already on the counter as the spare key had already been given to the real estate agent.

When Gibbs finally got into the car he looked at me a little confused and I could tell that he was just dying to know why I had reacted the way I had, but he didn't push me. The car ride was silent Tony who had tired out after helping Jethro pack his room, was fast asleep and Jethro was driving the car as I stared out the window. I was seriously bugged about the fact that after five years of having nothing to do with him he was still finding ways to ruin my life. Looking into the back seat I felt a small smile spread across my face, the only good that had come was my son, my heart and soul and Jethro was slowly becoming my life line, he was finding a purchase on my heart as well. I don't think I would be me if I was away from him.

Four hours later the cars were unloaded and the boxes for Tony's room were unpacked and things were put away. Jethro had done most of that though as I had escaped to put my things in our bedroom trying to escape the scrutiny that was coming from Jethro. I was so deep in thought that I hadn't even realised that he had made his way into our bedroom and wrapped his arms around me. Not until he nibbled along my neck and I moaned at the feel of it.

"Are you alright Jen?" he asked and I shook my head finally feeling the dam break and the tears flood down my face. He held me close, rubbing soothing patterns up and down my back trying his hardest to reassure me that everything was going to be fine. Somehow during all that time he had managed to move us over to the bed where when I finally managed to calm he asked

"Is this anything to do with you moving in with me?" and I sat there stunned for maybe one or two seconds too long and he got up before I had a chance to react.

"Jethro wait" I begged and he turned around not meeting my guys and a frown on his face. I stood and made my way over to him placing a chaste kiss on his lips

"There is no way that this has anything to do with us moving in together. I'm so glad that we are doing this, that we have reached this stage of our relationship" I said and he smiled

"Me too" he whispered and I kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around me before he pulled back and he asked

"Then what is it?" and I frowned. Taking a deep breath I said

"The box I gave you to throw out" I paused as he nodded "It was filled with letters from my ex and Tony's father. I never opened them I didn't want to read his lies but it also had the only present that he wanted Tony to have and I never gave it to him. It was an expensive piece of crap" I finished and he looked slightly confused

"I guess just seeing it and knowing what and who it was from it made me think about how much my life has changed for the better since he left. Without him being gone then I wouldn't have my soul mate by my side sharing the next stage of life with" I said and Jethro smiled leaning his forehead against mine

"God how did I deserve someone as amazing as you?" he asked and I smiled kissing him

"I don't know, fate maybe" I said and he leaned down and placed a heated kiss on my lips.
