Chapter 24

A year later…

Not much had changed in the year since Jenny and Gibbs had got married, Kelly had spent the week of their honeymoon helping Jack in Stillwater, something which she had loved.

When the couple had returned life went more or less back to normal, nothing much had changed, it was just like when they'd been engaged, although Kelly did notice that Jenny and her daddy were a lot happier.

Today was Jenny and Gibbs' wedding anniversary, to celebrate everyone had come to Jenny and Gibbs' house for a party, or more like they all wanted to use Gibbs' back garden for the lovely summers day that it was.

Jenny was walking out of the kitchen into the back garden with glasses of ice cold lemonade and a couple of cold beers for everyone when Kelly came running in almost bumping into her.

"Kelly, what have I told you about not looking where you're going" Jenny said almost giving the girl a smile, bumping into her almost reminded her of the first time they had met, the meeting that had changed her life forever and she hadn't even realised it.

"Sorry Mu…Jenny" Kelly gave her a sheepish smile.

Jenny then noticed that the girls t-shirt was sopping wet "What happened?" she asked looking the girl up and down.

"Tony bought a water gun with him" Kelly informed her step-mother.

The older redhead rolled her eyes before giving Kelly a smile "You might find a super soaker in a book at the back of my wardrobe" she informed the eleven year old, Kelly grinned at her before running to go and get it.

Jenny let out a little laugh before continuing on her journey, she walked into the back garden and smiled at the sight of the team running around the garden, all laughing and squealing as they squirted each other with the water pistols, meanwhile Gibbs was working hard at the BBQ and Ducky sat at the table with Jack, both catching up.

She went over to the table and put the drinks on the table giving the two older men with a smile before approaching her husband and handing him a cold beer. "Thanks" he gave her a smile before taking a drink from the bottle then put it down.

He then pulled his wife close to him and gave her a kiss "Happy anniversary" Gibbs grinned at her, he'd already given her a bunch of orchids this morning as his gift to her and she'd made him pancakes. They'd decided that their anniversary would just involve buying each other small things, nothing fancy. That would be saved for birthdays and Christmas.

Jenny grinned at him when they pulled apart "Happy anniversary" she replied "Hard to think it's been a year" she sighed as she rested her head on his chest.

Gibbs rested his head on top of hers and took a deep breath, loving the scent of her perfume mixed with her shampoo, he would never get used to having her in his arms, to Jenny being his wife, to being able to call her that. He'd never thought he would be lucky enough to get a second chance, to find someone who not only loved him but also love Kelly and Kelly love them back, but here he was.

"Yeah" Gibbs replied "It's gone so fast" he told her, Jenny looked up so her eyes met his and then pulled him down for another kiss.

Just as the couple were about to part, they were squirted by ice cold water, they jumped apart and turned to glare at Tony who had squirted them.

"I am so sorry" he looked at them so scared that he'd hit not only his boss, but his boss' wife who used to be their boss.

"Hey DiNozzo" Everyone including Tony turned to find Kelly with a larger water pistol than his own, the one that Jenny had told her to get out of her wardrobe

She then squirted Tony in the face, making everyone but Tony burst out laughing, this meant war.

…

Hours later after a water fight between all of the 'kid', first it had just been between Kelly and Tony and then Ziva had joined in and then Abby had and of course it hadn't taken the bubbly Goth long to twist Tim's arm and so he soon joined in.

They'd all decided to wind down and watch a film, one film had turned into two and two had turned into three.

Ducky had had to leave before the second film and Jack had retired early, he having driven from driven from Stillwater early that morning.

So Kelly lay in her grandfather's arm chair, her legs hanging over one arm and her head rested on the other. Tony and Ziva lay slumped on the floor, Tim and Abby sat on the two seater sofa

Meanwhile Gibbs sat on the other sofa, Jenny lay against the arm of it and her legs rested in his lap, Jenny wasn't watching much of the TV, she wanted to spend some time with her husband.

She looked around to find that everyone was very interested in the TV, she gave Gibbs a glance and noticed he had a faraway look in his eyes. She wondered what he was thinking about, where his mind was.

Jenny slowly slipped her legs off of his which brought him back to reality, he turned and gave her a quizzing look, she smiled at him before holding out her hand to him and motioned with her head for them to go.

He gave her a small nod before getting up from the sofa and taking her hand and letting her lead him out of the back door and too the back porch. Luckily no one noticed the happy couple missing.

They sat down together on the bench, Jenny rested against Gibbs' chest he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, holding her close.

They sat for a while just, enjoying each other's company, they worked a lot, sometimes not seeing each other for days if they both had big cases, so it was time like this that they both cherished.

"Jethro" she sighed comfortably, looking up at him.

"Mmm" he responded, turning to look at her.

"Do you think Kelly will be a good big sister?" she asked him.

"Yeah I think…" Gibbs began to before realisation hit him like a tonne of bricks, he moved a little to really look at his wife "Are….You…we"

Jenny grinned before nodding slowly "I'm pregnant" she informed him.

"Oh Jen" Gibbs couldn't help but grin at her before pulling her in for a kiss to tell her exactly what he thought of what she had just told him.

He knew he should have realised a year ago when he and Jenny said 'I do' but this made him realise what a family he had, that he wasn't alone, he wasn't alone anymore. It wasn't about him and Kelly anymore, it was him and Jenny, Kelly and their baby, he now had a women he loved to help him in raising Kelly and he needed all the help he could get.

The end.
