Chapter 3
After taking another sip of bourbon Gibbs couldn't stomach anymore. It reminded him of Jenny, it was something they both drank, something he loved to taste on her lips.
He put the bottle down and began to sand the boat with more vigour to try and get Jenny out of his thoughts, all he wanted to do was go home, go back to his life, back to his wife and children.
Gibbs shook his head, how could he ever think he was better off without them, he loved them, they made him who he was. He wanted to go home, he felt like stamping his feet like a five year old but that wouldn't help.
Yawning Gibbs closed his eyes letting the tiredness wash over him, as he closed his eyes he could see blue and red lights flashing around him, lights being shined in his eyes he could see an outline of someone looking down on him a deep voice say "Leroy Jethro Gibbs, he's got five missed calls from Jenny, should we call her to come to the hospital?" then it was all gone, as if a flash of him imagination but he was sure it was real, it was an image from his real life.
He felt sick to his stomach, if he really had been in an accident how would Jenny react, would she even bother coming to the hospital. And what if he didn't survive would he be stuck in this world forever?
Gibbs's heart began to beat faster, he was having a panic attack, he put his hand on his chest in an attempt to calm his heart down, the heat felt like it was rising, he had to get outside.
Quickly he made his way out of the front door and relished in the cool hair. His head was pounding, as he raised his hand to his head he winced as he felt the bruise where Jenny had slapped him, he couldn't only just imagine what he looked like.
Gibbs got in his car, he couldn't go back into the house it was like it was a haunted, it was haunted with memories of his family running around having fun, the sound of children's laughter filled his ear but yet there were no children, there was no happiness.
He began to drive around, he wasn't sure where to go, he almost had nowhere to go. Gibbs glanced at the neon lights on the dashboard and noticed that It was late, his team would have gone home, so why not go to work?
Fifteen minutes later Gibbs walked into the blacked out bullpen. He made his way to his desk and sat down before turning on the lamp on his desk.
He began to look around his desk to see if he had any personal pictures or items only to find nothing personal only pictures of Agent and Marines he had known and lost during the years.
Gibbs then thought of his wallet, he always had a picture of Jenny, Lanie and Josh all smiling, something Jenny had insisted that he carry it with him so he remembered that he had a family, that he had people that loved him no matter what, it had been taken the first day little Lanie had been brought home.
The special agent felt around in his pocket and pulled out the black leather wallet that Jenny had bought him in a little boutique in Paris and flipped it open, he grinned when he saw that the picture of Jenny and the two children was still slipped inside, carefully Gibbs pulled the picture out of the plastic sleeve.
The picture looked just like he remembered it , the smiling faces, Josh grinning just like Jenny, his similar blue eyes shining with excitement of being a big brother, and Jenny with bags under her eyes but still her eyes shining bright as she held tight onto their new baby girl in her arms.
He traced the smiling faces with his finger, what he wouldn't do to go back to that moment.
"I thought I told you to go home" Jenny's angry voice brought Gibbs from looking at the picture, he looked up to find Jenny standing in front of his desk with her hand on her hip.
"Well you know me, I've never been one for listening to rules" Gibbs gave her a cheeky smirk and he tried to hide the picture, he didn't want her to see it and think he was even more of a creep than she thought already after all that he'd done.
"Unless there your own" Jenny said crossing her arms over her chest.
"I wouldn't say that I definitely broke a couple of the rules with you"
"Like I said earlier in my office, that was years ago" she replied angry with what he was suggesting even though he was right. "I'd get the bruise looked at" she commented noting the purple ring in the light of the desk lamp before turning on her heels and began to walk away.
"Jen, I'm sorry about earlier" he watched as she stopped and turned to face him and raised an eyebrow daring him to explain himself.
"I had a dream last night, it just affected me a lot" he explained glancing quickly at the picture hiding in his lap.
"A dream about me, you and kids?" she asked hiding a small smile, Gibbs just nodded slowly "Sounds nice" she said noting his surprised look "But like i've said, it's too late for that, good night special agent Gibbs" she said before walking away towards the elevator.
"I love you Jen" The silver haired man whispered into the empty bullpen. He took a moment to put the picture back in his wallet before getting up and going to see if Ducky was still around.
As he exited the elevator he saw the lights in autopsy were on, he walked in "Ah Jethro how can i…what happened to you?" he asked seeing the purple bruise on his friends face.
"I forgot Jen could pack a punch" Gibbs said wincing as he sat on one of the cold autopsy slabs.
"And what may I ask did you do to Jennifer this time?" Ducky asked moving to standing in front of his friend and then check out the bruise.
"I kissed her" Gibbs grumbled as the doctor began prodding his face.
"You what?" Ducky asked yelled as he stepped back.
"She's my wife Duck" Gibbs exclaimed.
"No my dear boy she is not" Ducky retaliated "In your other life perhaps but in this she most certainly isn't"
Gibbs grumbled running a tired hand through his hair "How do I get back, I don't want to be here anymore?" He asked.
"I don't know, but it seems you're going to be stuck here until then, so I say get used to that fact that Jennifer isn't your wife and that you aren't together and I strongly suggest you don't all of a sudden force yourself on her" Ducky said going to his draw and pulling out some pills.
"Now go home and take these and get some rest, I'll see you tomorrow" he said giving Gibbs the tablets. Gibbs only hoped the doctor wasn't right and that he would get to go 'home' soon.
TBC…
