Chapter 4
As girly as it sounded, Jenny felt fireworks. She had missed Gibbs so much over the last, how ever many years it had been. She melted into the kiss and closed her eyes. Gibbs wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her close. He smiled.
Jasper Shepard stared at his daughter. He had never known Jenny to be so dominant. There she stood with her arms wrapped around the only man she had ever loved. He coughed. Jenny and Gibbs pulled apart, Abby squealed.
"Mummy and Daddy love each other!" Jenny blushed scarlet. Gibbs chuckled and held Jenny close.
"Jennifer?" Jasper questioned.
"Sir, I believe that I would be best if you left." Gibbs said. Jasper looked at Jenny, a pleading look in his eyes. Jenny looked away. Jasper felt his heart sink as his daughter refused to look him in the eyes. He reached for a piece of paper he had in his pocket, and a pen and wrote down a number on it. He slipped the paper on the table, and stood up straight.
"Here. I know you won't probably use it, but this is my mobile number. Give me a call at sometime." Jenny looked at the paper on the table and picked it up sticking it into her pocket.
"Duck can you escort Mr Shepard from the building please?" Ducky nodded and he left the room with Jasper. Abby still stood beaming in the doorway. Gibbs gave her his look. She nodded and slipped from the door and headed back to her lab.
Gibbs and Jenny stood still for a few minutes before anyone spoke.
"Jen…"
"Jethro…" They laughed.
"You first."
"Jen, I was going to ask if you would come over for dinner for tonight?"
"Just like old times eh?" Jenny laughed. She smiled and nodded. Gibbs gave her a kiss on the nose, and slipped his hand into hers and headed for the elevator.
Later that afternoon team Gibbs were sitting at their desks filling out paperwork, when the phone rang. Gibbs and answered it and only moments later called out;
"Gear up, we got a dead marine."
"Where too boss?" McGee asked grabbing his back-pack. The others followed suit and so they were following Gibbs towards the elevator.
"Abandoned train tracks, just out of Anacostia" Gibbs passed the keys to Ziva, who smiled. Tony and McGee groaned, which were followed by slaps to the back of the head.
Tony looked around his surroundings. There were over grown bushes, rubbish scattered everywhere, and amongst all the debris the lay the body of a Marine Lieutenant dresses in full ceremonial uniform. Ziva stood taking photos; McGee was collecting the major evidence from around the body, and groaning to himself thinking about how much of the rubbish he would have to collect. Gibbs noticed Tony standing doing nothing, and slapped him.
"You going to work today DiNozzo?! What have you got?"
"Construction workers found the body when they began to clear the tracks away for construction, their building a road to connect the base about 6 miles away to the main road, when they came across him." Palmer lifted the liver probe from the body and looked at the results.
"He's been dead for a little over 12 hours." Ducky confirmed Palmer's observation, and helped him to check the body over. Tony collected a receipt from the marine's pocket, and bagged it.
"A receipt for a coffee and a piece of cherry pie from Starbucks boss; this guy had no taste I'm mean come on! Everyone knows that if you order pie from Starbucks, it should be apple!"
"I like cherry pie DiNozzo." Tony felt his head jerk forwards as Gibbs's hand collided with the back of his head.
"Shutting up and sketching boss." Ziva, who was nearby, chuckled.
Jenny slipped from her office and walked up to Cynthia's desk.
"I'm going to visit Abby, I've got my cell phone if you need to contact me, although unless it is a national emergency or the SecNav I would prefer…"
"To be left alone to talk to Abby." Cynthia chuckled. Jenny laughed.
"I'll bring you back a coffee." Cynthia smiled gratefully and Jenny left the office for the elevator.
Abby stood in her lab with the music blaring from her stereo. She had tests running and was currently using a piece of software she had borrowed from a friend and was currently using it to find out what Jenny and Gibbs's children would look like. Jenny slipped into Abby's lab unnoticed as the music drowned out the noise of her heeled shoes.
"Hey Abby" Abby jumped out of her skin as she turned to face Jenny. She didn't have enough time to close the software on the computer and she smiled sheepishly at Jenny.
"Hi."
"Hello Abby, enjoying yourself?!" Abby gulped nervously, and swallowed.
"He-he, sorry."
"Rule 6 Abs." Jenny laughed. "Can I see?" Abby smiled and showed Jenny the picture. Jenny smiled. She'd always wanted children and seeing the picture made her eyes fill with tears. Abby stopped the music and put her arms around Jenny.
"I'm so sorry, why are you crying?" Jenny's tears subsided.
"I'm sorry Abby, all I seem to be doing today is crying." Abby still didn't look convinced.
"The idea of children just made me think of all the time I wasted with Gibbs." Jenny chocked on her words, which only made Abby pull her into a tighter hug. Jenny snuggled into Abby and felt the Goths ponytails tickle her face. She laughed. Abby released her.
"Feeling better?"
"A little."
"So what is going to happen between you and Gibbs?"
"Well, he's invited me for dinner tonight." Jenny smiled and Abby squealed.
"So are you going to be together forever then?!" Jenny smiled and winked at Abby.
"I'll let you know Abby."
After getting the body and the evidence back to Ducky and Abby, the team called it a night. The results of the tests wouldn't be ready till the morning so it seemed silly to wait for anything; they had managed to find more about the background to the Marine Lieutenant, whose name turned out to be James Morris. Gibbs pushed his chair under his desk. Tony and Ziva had left ages ago. They had plans for a movie night at Tony's as he had still yet to believe that Ziva was integrated into the American way of life. Abby had talked McGee into going to a death metal concert that night so they had left early too to get food. Jenny stood on the balcony gazing down at Gibbs; he glanced up and caught her gaze. He smiled and grabbed his gun walking to the stairs. Jenny joined him at the bottom of the stairs and he linked his hand into hers.
"How does Thai sound?"
"Delicious." Jenny smiled.
Later that night Jenny and Gibbs were snuggled onto Gibbs sofa. Jenny had kicked off her heels and had her feet resting of Gibbs's coffee table.
"How long has it been since we did this?" Jenny asked.
"Too long" Gibbs smirked. Jenny laughed and snuggled closer into Gibbs.
"I know you're only going to quote the rules to me, but I'm sorry for everything." Gibbs pulled his arms closer around Jenny.
"Don't Jen. What happened happened. All that matters is the here and now." Jenny closed her eyes and snuggled into Gibbs chest. He closed his eyes and pulled her close. Soon after they both feel asleep.
Early the next morning Gibbs awoke with a stiff neck and his arms still wrapped around Jenny. Yawning he moved his arms slightly which in tern caused Jenny to awaken. She moaned and opened her eyes, which were met with Gibbs bright blue one.
"Morning."
"Morning." Gibbs and Jenny both moved so they could get the feeling back in their necks. Gibbs left the sofa and slipped into his kitchen. Jenny didn't need to ask why he moved. She joined him in the kitchen as he pulled out two cups from the cupboard above the sink.
"Thank you." Gibbs handed her a cup.
Hours later after stopping by Jenny's place to change, she and Gibbs arrived together hand in hand. Gibbs gave her a small kiss in the elevator and got out at his floor. Jenny smiled and carried on to her floor. She found Abby standing in her office with a grin on her face.
"Well?" Jenny smiled and sat down.
"We had Thai and ended up falling asleep on the couch." Abby smiled.
"Aww that's cute." Jenny smiled.
It was later that afternoon when Cynthia poked her head around the door to Jenny's office.
"Director, Abby would like to meet you in her lab, she says she has something she needs to tell you."
"Thank you Cynthia, I'll have my cell if you need me."
Jenny entered Abby's lab to find the whole of team Gibbs, Ducky and Palmer standing around in Abby's back room.
"Abby?" Jenny called out. Everyone turned their heads.
"Abs, now that we're all here can you tell us why we are here?"
"I found a print on the knife you found near to the body."
"And you called us all down here for that?" Tony asked. Abby gave him a glare and Gibbs head slapped him.
"No it's not that, it's who the prints belong to that I call you down here for." Everyone looked at her expectantly. Abby turned from her current position and grabbed Gibbs's arm. She pulled him over and signed to him to make sure Jenny was ok. Gibbs looked confused.
"The prints belonged to Coronel Jasper Shepard."
