The second part of that chapter is more Jibbs than anything else...

"Because, for some reason, the director spends thanksgiving in her office every year. We know that because every year we see her car parked in the parking lot. When we leave after a while she goes out and goes to her office. We never asked why because we weren't supposed to be there. Now let's go!" They all took a few things and left.

When they arrived at NCIS, Abby and Tim were already there. Abby was impatient to meet Kate. Last time she was there Abby didn't even know about it.

"Tony, Tony, Tony you're here, finally." She came and hugged him.

"Yes, we're here. Now Abs, meet my sister Kate Beckett and her boyfriend Rick Castle. Kate, Rick, Abby Sciuto, forensic scientist."

"It's really nice to finally meet you. Wow, you're pregnant too?! That's amazing. Congrats." "Thank you" Kate smiled.

"Ok guys, now let's have some fun" Tony said and they all laughed. Tony talked about some of the pranks he pulled on McGee and Ziva and they shared some funny stories about work. They also talked about the weirdest cases they ever had. They talked 'til midnight and went to sleep.

They were all sleeping peacefully until they were woken up at seven o'clock by the sound of the director's heels walking furiously up the stairs to her office and slamming the door.

"Dammit what was that?" Kate asked now fully awake. Tony was confused too. "I have no idea. She's not supposed to be here until eight. I don't think she even noticed us."

"And I'd really like to know what this is all about. It's been nine years and we still don't know why she's here every year on thanksgiving." Abby hissed.

"Well I'm certainly not going to be the one to ask her. What about you Ziva? You two have been friends for a long, long time now. You know her better. You should go and ask."

Tony smirked and she shot him a dark glare. "Fine." When she was about to stand up the elevator on top of the stairs dinged and a very pissed Gibbs came out of it, walking toward Jenny's office and slamming the door behind him.

"Okay, maybe you should go later." "You think" Ziva slapped the back of his head. After a 'what was that for' and a 'for stating the obvious' Castle wondered aloud.

"What do you think they're doing up there?" Kate slapped his arm.

Just then they heard the directors voice shouting at Gibbs. 'Oh boy'...!

"Get out of here. NOW!" They all listened to the voices coming from upstairs wondering what the hell was going on. Then they heard Gibbs' reply.

"Why would I? You lock yourself in that damn office every year on thanksgiving and you can't look me in the eyes for a week after it. Damn it. I want to know why. You're always telling me you're fine when I ask but you're not." Gibbs yelled.

"Well if you must know I come here to try not to think about how pissed I still am because I never got a chance to explain why I did what I did exactly 15 years ago and every time I wanna talk about it you're avoiding the subject. And I still hate myself for leaving back then. Now get the hell out." she yelled back opening the door and pushing him out.

Now he was even angrier. He got back to the elevator and left the building without noticing the six people downstairs. They were all shocked by the argument.

"Do you know what that was all about?" Kate asked after a minute. They all shook their heads deep in thought trying to find an explanation but they couldn't because they didn't know a thing about what happened before Jenny became director.

Ziva on the other hand was starting to put two and two together in her head. Tony saw she was deep in thought. "What is it Ziva? Do you know something we don't?" Ziva's head snapped up.

"Of course...15 years ago why didn't I think of it sooner!" she thought aloud. Abby was getting impatient again. "What happened fifteen years ago?"

"Oh my god...I've gotta see her...I'll explain later." With that she got up and made her way to Jenny's office as fast as she could, which wasn't very fast considering she was pregnant, and disappeared behind the doors.

"Did she know her before you guys did?" Rick asked.

"Yeah they both started here right after Kate died but they had worked with each other before. I guess Jenny must've told her what happened with Gibbs back then." Abby replied.

"Why did she know Gibbs 15 years ago if she started here nine years ago?"

"She was his probie back in the days." he nodded and they waited for Ziva to come back.

Meanwhile upstairs

Ziva knocked on the door and got in to see a silently crying Jenny sitting on her couch with her head in her hands. "Hey...are you okay?" she asked concerned. Jenny looked up and was surprised to see her. She wiped her tears away and answered as if nothing had happened.

"Yes of course. I'm fine. What are you doing here anyways?" Ziva knew she wasn't fine but dropped it - for now. "It's not important what I'm doing here. More important is what are YOU doing here on thanksgiving?"

"Uhh nothing I was just picking up some files." Ziva gently put a hand on top of hers.

"Don't lie to me Jenny I know you come here every year."

"How would you know that?"

"Because Tony, Abby and Tim are here every year too but they leave right before you get out of your car. They told me you were here too. We heard you and Gibbs yelling. When you mentioned 15 years ago I put the pieces together. You told me once about the man you left in Paris back then. It was him wasn't it?" Jenny nodded.

"What happened?"

"Okay I'm telling you this because you're my friend and because right now I just need to talk to someone," she sighed before she continued, "Gibbs and I were undercover as a married couple in Europe. We fell in love during that assignment and Paris was our last stop. Back then being with him didn't fit in my plan and I left. I kept telling myself it was because of that but actually it wasn't. I was just too damn scared to face it. I really loved him. I got a job offer far away and I took it. When I came back as the director after six years and he told me he missed me, I realized I still loved him so I wanted to explain why I really left but he kept avoiding it and I never got a chance to tell him. He noticed I came here every year on that date too and last year he started asking about it but I just shut it down and drowned my sorrows here instead of facing him. I hate myself so much for what I did to him." Ziva had tears in her eyes too and hugged her.

"The team is going to ask when I go back. What should I tell them?" she asked gently and pulled back.

"Nothing. I'm coming with you. If they heard everything that happened before with Gibbs I need to explain it myself." Ziva nodded ok and they made their way out of the office. When they arrived downstairs the others were talking. Abby noticed them walking towards them first.

"Hey Jenny, you okay?" she just nodded an sat down next to Ziva. "Okay so I know you heard Gibbs and I yelling before and I also know you know I come here every year," she sighed before explaining everything she already told Ziva.

"Now he's pissed because he doesn't know why I don't look him in the eyes for a week after every thanksgiving." by now she had tears in her eyes again. They were all in shock. Nobody knew about that.

"I know I don't really know you, but I think you should tell him you still love him." Kate said out of nowhere. "What?" Jenny asked looking at her.

"Well I can tell you still love him and I know what it's like not to tell the one you love you do. So I think you should tell him." she was looking at Castle now. He knew she was thinking about everything that happened before they finally got together.

"You know what? You're right. Thank you. I'm gonna go see him." she stood up and made her way to the elevator and left.

"Well I didn't think it would go that well...by the way, Ziva care to explain how you knew what happened all these years ago?" Tony said looking at Ziva. "Jenny and I met a couple of months after she left Paris. She told me she left the man she loved there. She never told me it was Gibbs tough." they all smiled at that.

Kate turned to Rick (he was sitting behind her, his hands on her stomach). "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you I remembered" she whispered.

"Hey stop it. You've been apologizing for years now." "I know but I hurt you so much." he took her hands in his and squeezed them. "I know but it all worked out well and now we're gonna have a baby. Life couldn't get better." she smiled and kissed him.

The four other persons in the room were oblivious of the conversation the two just had, they were all lost in thought.

'Why didn't I tell her sooner?' Tony thought. 'Why didn't I tell him sooner?' Ziva thought and Abby and McGee were just thinking about what just happened.

After what felt like hours they left NCIS and Abby and McGee drove home, Kate and Rick went to the hotel to change clothes and picking up Jim and Ziva and Tony went to their apartment to start getting everything ready.

I'm not very proud of that chapter. I hope you liked it anyway. The next one WILL be better so i hope you're still going to be reading the story.
