Jenny's head lay against her husband's chest. The summer sun shone in, splinters of light playing on her bare back. Her red curls lay messed up. His arm was draped around her waist, lazily drawing patterns on her smooth skin. It was morning, only around 07 00 but they were both wide awake. Cathy and Clara had slept through the night, only waking once, which was a change. Jenny and Gibbs were there for awake.
The girls were 9 months old, and babbling away. They made themselves laugh and it then made their parents laugh. Clara had been the first to say a proper word which had been 'dada', Cathy, not wanting to be falling behind had later followed with 'mummy'. The girls now had quite a few words in their vocabulary which meant their parents had to be even the more careful with what they said. It had amused Jenny when Clara had come out with 'boat'. It looked like Clara was the daddy's girl and Cathy the mummies.
Jenny sighed and closed her eyes. Jethro ran a hand through his wife's hair. "Can you believe we've been married one and a half years now?"
"Seems like a lifetime." He replied in a mocking voice. She playfully slapped his chest as she laughed. He loved her laugh, t was so girly yet unique, and always brought a smile to his face. He'd begun to laugh more, not smirk but properly laugh, it was a sound jenny loved.
Looking up at him she softly kissed his lips, it was a soft kiss that grew with passion. Yet soon they were interrupted by Cathy's crying which in turn started Clara. Jenny sighed. "They sleep all night and chose now to cry?"
"I'll get them."
"No, I'll do Catherine, you do Clarissa. We'd best be getting ready anyway if the guys are coming around for a picnic."
Jenny went into the nursery and soothed down Cathy., before feeding and burping her. Jethro did the same before they bathed their girls. They filled the bath with children's bubble bath. Soon though it filled the bathroom and Gibbs put in too much – not that anyone was complaining. The girls laughed as jenny made Gibbs have a moustache, and blew bubbles in the air. Cathy grabbed a handful and began clapping which made them go flying, she shrieked with laughter. Clara began splashing in the water and soaked Jethro making him soaking wet. Jenny burst out laughing. "Dada wet!" said Clara laughing.
"Yeah Clara, dada very wet!"
"Da…ad….d…w…e…wt." attempted Catherine. But when she failed she huffed before looking at her mum. "Mummy." She said pointing and looking proud.
"Yes honey, I'm mummy."
After a little while longer of playing with the bubbles, Jen and Jethro got the children out of the bath, dried and began to dress them. Jenny selected both of the girls outfits. Cathy wore a blue dress with white flowers and Clara wore a pastel green dress with white flowers. Both wore matching headbands. Jethro smiles when the two sat playing with their toys. Noemi came in and smirked as she saw her bosses were still dripping wet.
"I will watch then Senora, you go get dressed."
"Thank you Noemi."
With that the pair went into their bedroom. Fifteen minutes later Jenny was stood in her wardrobe huffing. Her hair was dry and her makeup done but she had nothing to wear. She sighed, she may had lost her baby weight but she didn't feel like it. "What's up?" questioned Jethro.
"I feel fat, and old."
"Jen you are not fat, and you are younger than me."
"I know. Hmph, I have nothing to wear."
"You have a whole wardrobe full!"
Jenny looked down the rack, and smiled as she saw a lemon dress. She walked over and picked it out, checking it for grubby marks before putting it on. She looked in the mirror and smiled. IT filled well, was a lose sun dress and made her hair look brighter. She walked out of the wardrobe, picking up some sandals and kissing her husband's cheek on the way. "Thank you." She walked into the bedroom, put on the wooden wedge sandals and some wooden jewellery before smiling.
-a mistake-
Out in the back garden Jenny had laid out a range of garden cushions and blankets for everyone to sit on, as well as a few chairs. There was to be a full get together, and everything was to go well. The girls were settled on the pink cushion playing when the doorbell rang. Jenny went in to answer it, leaving Jethro with the girls. She opened the door to find Maria and Harry, who were having a petty argument as per usual. "Hey! Do I have to start head slapping you two like Jethro does with burley?"
"No boss." They replied in unison, before she let them in.
"this is for you." Said Maria holding out a bottle of bourbon.
"thank you, you didn't have to."
"Well I was always taught never to turn up empty handed."
"well go through. There are drinks outside as well as Jethro and the girls." With hat they walked out to the garden. Everyone knew their way around the Gibbs house hold; it was every ones home from home. Before Jenny got the chance to join them there was another knock at the door and she opened it to find Tom Marrow. He was the girls god father but in a way their second granddad too. She gave him a hug and smiled.
"You look amazing Jenny, as usual."
"Thank you, but I don't feel it." He raised an eyebrow before she walked through to the garden with him. The others turned to look, and Harry and Maria had a look of shock on their faces.
"Hi tom.! Said Jethro.
"Director.! The junior agents both acknowledged.
"Call m tom out of work, I'm not the director at weekends."
They all smiled and he went to see his god daughters. HE sat down on the blanket and began playing with the girls. There was suddenly a squeal as Stan, Chris and Abby appeared, Abby ran over and hugged everyone. Chris and Stan also greeted everybody too. Just then the doorbell rung and Jenny went to answer it. She found Ducky and smiled. She led him through to the garden.
Everyone was laughing and joking soon. Jenny was lying with Jethro, their legs intertwined as they made the most of their girls being occupied. They watched as Stan chased Maria around the garden and she laughed. From the looks of it Harry and Chris were talking or more like arguing over the football. Abby was playing with Cathy and Clara who seemed to be laughing away at something. Meanwhile Tom and Ducky were talking about the old days by the looks of it.
"I love you Jethro." Jenny said quietly.
"I love you too Jenny."
"After Paris, I never would have thought I would be sat here, with you as my husband, two gorgeous little girls, and a family who we love. Thank you, for making it possible."
"thank you Jenny." He kissed her softly.
"Leroy?" they broke and looked up. Once again they'd been stopped. There stood and older man, white hair, larger built, wearing chinos and a chequered shirt. Jethro looked like a bundle of emotions, surprise, anger, confusion.
"Dad?" he questioned.
