Jenny Sheppard smiled as she saw the seatbelt signs turn on. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are beginning our landing into DC. The seatbelt signs have been switched on so please return to your seats; place your trays up and armrests down. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for flying with us today, and we hope to see you soon." As Jenny gazed out of the window she smiled at the familiar sights. It was six months since she had seen Jethro, and she had missed him so much. Self-consciously she twisted her engagement ring. She still couldn't believe he had asked her to marry him even if it only was over the phone.

Jenny had finally managed to get all of her bags after what felt like an eternity of waiting when she knew Jethro was only meters away. As she came through the arrivals gate she searched for her silver haired marine just as he was looking for his red head. She saw him by the window coffee in hand. She smirked and walked over to him. When he saw her he near enough ran over. It was like a soppy love scene. He picked her up and kissed her senseless, when they parted breath was needed yet their foreheads remained close. Then he finally moved, stepped back and went down on one knee. "I haven't done this properly yet, so Jenny Sheppard, you are the most amazing woman I know, you're passionate, stubborn and a pain in the ass but I love you, marry me?"

"Yes, for the second time ye." She said laughing. He picked her up, spun her around and smiled. He took her ring off and placed it on her finger himself before kissing her hand. A round of applause came from all of the onlookers as the pair kissed. Smiles were contagious as they filled the faces of those watching, for those holidaymakers it was sign of the cities reality, for those returning to empty houses from business trips it was a look at how you can have a career and life, and for them older couples whose faith in youth was withered it was a sign of the love that could still be found.

The pair walked out of the airport hand in hand, Jethro carried her bags before they drove home. It was to his house they went, with smiles on their faces. that night they spent curled up on the sofa, talking every now and again but just relishing the feeling of being together after six months. Jenny had managed to bring her ipod and docking station and had set that up on one of the shelves, the soft sound of one of the playlists jenny had made was filling the room. Jethro softly kissed her head and she smiled at him. She felt him moving and sat up. "Dance?" she smirked and stood up just as the song changed to same mistake by James Blunt.

So while I'm turning in my sheets,
And once again I cannot sleep,
Walk out the door and up the street,
Look at the stars beneath my feet,
Remember rights that I did wrong,
So here I go

There is no place I cannot go,
My mind is muddy but,
My heart is heavy does it show
I lose track that loses me,
So here I go,

And so I sent some men to fight,
And one came back at dead of night,
Said he'd seen my enemy,
Said he looked just like me,
So I set out o cut myself,
And here I go,

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.

"Jethro." Jenny said as they danced, looking up into his deep blue eyes that she loved so much.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you." She said simply placing her head on his shoulder.

"What for?"

"Giving me my second chance."

"Anytime Jenny, anytime."

So while I'm turning In my sheets,
And once again I cannot sleep,
Walk out the door and up the street,
Look at the stars,
Look at the stars falling down,
And I wonder where,
Did I go wrong?

That was the first night these two had spent together in six months, and it was the one when they both realised what they wanted in life. They wanted to be together, and to have a family. That was it. That was all they wanted because that was all they needed to be happy.

-a mistake-

Jenny and Gibbs walked out of the lift together the next morning. They didn't hold hands, but they walked together. They would let everyone find out about their relationship on their own. Marrow already knew and they would tell ducky in their own town. Jenny smirked as she saw burly gawking. She remembered she was dressed smart and had no surprise. She was wearing a deep purple silk blouse and a tight pencil skirt with deep purple heals and a cropped blazer. Her hair was long and messily tied in a bun. As she parted from Gibbs she head slapped the agent. "Stop gawking Stan, I'm not on your team any more so stop looking so happy and get back to work." Gibbs couldn't hide his amusement, much like Chris who burst out laughing.

Smiling Jenny entered Marrow's office. His assistant let her in and inside she found her two new agents and her boss. "Jenny." He said with a smile as he got up to hug her. The two agents managed to hide their shock as the director kissed her cheek. He saw her as a daughter and always had – just like Ducky. "Special Agent Sheppard, meet you're new team, Special Agent Jason Rooks." She shook the younger man's hand. He was ex Baltimore PD, tall, blonde and too 'cute' for Jenny's liking. He had an air about him that made her think Jethro would hate him. He looked smug, neat and tidy. Jenny politely smiled.

"Pleasure to work with you ma'am." He said.

"Don't call me ma'am, it makes me feel old. It's either boss, or agent Sheppard."

"And this is probationary agent Harry Maynard." Jenny shook the younger man's hand. He'd just graduated from FLET-C with the best grades in his year. He was only slightly taller than Jenny, dark hair, muscular and eager to learn. The different between the two was big, and on first looks Jenny preferred Harry – even if he was only a probie.

"Boss." He said.

"Right, both of you, stuff in the bull pen, I'll meet you on the range."

"Yes boss." They replied in unison. Jenny smirked as she watched them leave.

"Good look Jenny." Marrow said laughing.

"This should be fun." She said as she left his office. When she go t down to the bull pen there was no sign of her agents. She walked past burly head slapping him again.

"What was that for?" he moaned.

"I felt like it Stan." She looked at Gibbs. "what?"

"Nothing, how are your team?" he asked glaring at burly.

"Well, Jason Rooks is a…smug young man who I am going to head slap to the ground until he stops staring at my…assets. Don't kill him Jethro, that's my job."

"The other one?"

"Harrison Maynard, FLET-C grad, seems alright. Taking them down to the range."

"No autopsy?"

"Oh, believe me, that's stop number two."

-a mistake-

Jenny un-holstered her sig as she watched as her sug agent attempted to teach Harrison how to shoot. "Agent Rooks."

"Yes boss."

"Maynard is my probie not yours, so why don't we see how you cope eh?"

Jenny had to seriously restrain herself on the range. Rooks was a pain in the ass and was threatening to get her reported for abuse sue to a head slap. Harrison was not a bad shot and took to initiative to keep practicing even when Rooks was pushing his look. Jenny put her sig in her holster after an hour having had enough. "Right! You two autopsy now! You're watching your first autopsy." Rooks had a smug look on his face and was about to gloat to Harrison. "Both of you!"

-a mistake-

Autopsy doors opened and Jenny walked in just as a new body was put on the slab. Ducky saw Jenny and instantly smiled. "Jennifer my dear. I did not expect to see you."

"Well Ducky, I'm back for good." She said with a smile as he kissed her cheek. Jenny felt the eyes on the back of her head and decided to introduce them both. "Ducky, meet my team, agent Rooks, and Maynard. You got room for two visitors?"

"Of course my dear, first day?"

"Yep, Jethro made me do mine on my first day, I'll make them do theirs."

"How is Jethro my dear?"

"He's good thanks Ducky, now Dr. Mallard, meat Special Agent Rooks and Maynard." With that Jenny went o the door to go. Autopsy had never been her favourite place, since she failed her first autopsy.

"Jennifer, are you not staying?"

"Thanks Duck, but I need coffee."

"He really had rubbed of on you my dear." Laughing Jenny left Autopsy.

An hour later and two queasy looking agents Ducky had sewn the man up and was finished. As if on cue Jenny walked through the doors with Jethro, his arm around her shoulder and smiles on both of their faces. Jenny looked and had to suppress a laugh as she saw Rooks looking green. "all done guys?"

"Yes boss." She heard her agents reply in unison.

"Rooks, you ok, you look ill."

"Watching an autopsy was not part of training at Baltimore."

"Well then, it's a good job I made you see one. Harry how did you find it?"

"Not gonna say it was pleasant but I suppose I better get used to the sight."

"You'll do well with an attitude like that. Go on, both of you go for lunch, take the afternoon off." With that the two left.

There was a reason Jenny gave her team the afternoon off, and it was that Jethro and his team also had the afternoon off. Seeming as Jenny's team won't on call until the next day her and Jethro got to spend and afternoon as a couple. They did all the little things they loved. He took her to lunch and they laughed and fell impossibly more in love.

The pair fell into a routine after that day. They'd walk in together, separate off into their teams. When they could they had lunch together, when they couldn't they always grabbed coffee. They made a pact to talk at night, and never to take an argument to bed, never to take an argument home from work. And it worked. At weekends they planned the wedding, and set a date for three months time, everything fell into a routine, and that was just how they liked it.

Yes, the next chapy is a jibbs wedding! :D xx

Please review and suggest the song for their first dance!
