Three weeks later Jethro was sitting with Jenny in the waiting room of the Stillwater Clinic. Dr, Higgins was the first OBG/YN based in Stillwater and she had only arrived just before Abby was born. Before that pregnant woman had to go to the next town over to deliver babies and receive prenatal care. Jenny was stretched out on the exam table. Her shirt was pulled up and wrapped around her breasts. At only eight weeks Jenny was already starting to show. It was just a small bump that could easily be mistaken for a food baby. Which as far as the kids at Stillwater High knew that's all it was. It was bad enough breaking the news to the family.
FLASHBACK
Darla came home exactly one week after Jenny told Jethro that she was pregnant. As far as she knew Jenny had simply had a falling out with her grandparents and was just living with the Gibbs's until everybody cooled down a bit and that Jack had moved his workshop. Because the basement light was too dark for him to really see. Jack had gotten trifocals back in June so it was believable. That night Jethro nervously held Jenny's hand under that table. It was time to tell the truth.
"Are you kids OK?" Darla asked.
"We have some news." Jethro blurted.
"I hope that it is good news." Darla replied.
"It depends." Jenny replied.
"Jenny are you moving back home?" Darla asked.
"No I am pregnant and my grandparents attacked me and Jethro. Jackson dealt with them and I have lived here ever since. We are turning the basement into an apartment for the three of us. I am still going to nursing school but I am also working full-time at the diner." Jenny explained.
"I am working at the hardware store weekends and afternoons." Jethro added.
"Well I can't say I approve of a teenage pregnancy but I am glad that you two are accepting responsibility and you are safe here Jennifer." Darla replied.
"Well what do you guys think?" Jenny asked the younger kids.
"Oh I am so happy for you guys!" Abby cried.
"Congratulations" Tony replied.
"Are you OK mom? I mean I know how bad you wanted a baby." Tim asked.
"Actually I was going to wait a couple more weeks to announce this but I am pregnant as well. How far are you Jenny? I am seven weeks." Darla explained.
"Five weeks and congratulations." Jenny replied.
"Two babies?! That is the best news ever!" Abby cried.
"Congratulations mom." Tim replied.
"Congrats guys I just hope I won't have to move back in with Tim." Tony added.
"Congrats" Jethro muttered.
"I am glad that all of you are happy and don't worry Tony we will be converting the dining room into your room. We only use it twice a year anyway." Darla explained.
"Jenny and Leroy will be staying in there while we work on the basement but it will be ready for you to move in long before the baby arrives." Jack added.
"How long have you known about Darla's baby dad?" Jethro asked.
"She found out and told me just before she left." Jackson replied.
"So my niece or nephew and my brother or sister will be the same age?" Tony asked.
"That's right" Jack replied.
END FLASHBACK
Jenny scooted over on the exam table allowing Jethro to sit down beside her. He hated that his dream of joining the Marines was over but he had a new dream. Raising this baby with Jenny. He had never seen himself as teenage parent or even having a child before he was in his thirties or late twenties at the earliest but things changed.
"So I know we won't find out until the baby is born but what do you want to have?" Jenny asked.
"A girl who looks just like you." Jethro replied.
"Aw" Jenny replied.
"What about you?" Jethro asked.
"I want a boy." Jenny replied.
"A boy would be fun but I want a baby girl." Jethro replied.
"I just worry about a girl we have. I have seen you with Abby." Jenny replied.
"Maybe I should train to become a sniper anyway." Jethro commented.
"Oh really well what if we have a boy?" Jenny asked.
"Girls wouldn't expect the sniper." Jethro commented.
"At least you don't have a double standard." Jenny replied breathing a sigh of relief.
"Well I got you pregnant and while I love you and our baby. I don't want my kid to do the same thing or get pregnant." Jethro explained.
"I hope that our kid doesn't make the same mistakes that we did." Jenny sighed.
"She won't" Jethro replied.
"He might." Jenny argued.
"I hope that I am not interrupting anything." Dr. Higgins said walking into the office.
"No we are good." Jenny assured.
"How are you feeling Miss. Sheppard?" Dr. Higgins asked.
"It's Mrs. Gibbs and I am nauseous but OK." Jenny replied.
"Excellent. Now according to your chart you are about eight weeks is that correct?" Dr. Higgins asked.
"Yes mam I was in two weeks ago but you were out sick." Jenny explained.
"Oh you were the girl who was attacked." Dr. Higgins replied.
"Yes mam we both were but at least our baby wasn't harmed." Jenny replied.
"Good now let's make sure that everything is still going well. Lie back and we will begin." Dr. Higgins explained.
Much to the relief of everybody. Jenny and the baby got a clean bill of health. Jethro watched as Jenny glued the ultrasound photo into her scrapbook. The scrapbook was a Christmas gift from her grandmother two years earlier. Until now it had sat and gathered dust in her closet but when she found out about the baby. She decided. That it would be a good place to keep her memories of her first born.
"What do you think Jethro?" Jenny asked showing her boyfriend the book.
"Very nice." Jethro replied.
"How is Darla doing?" Jenny asked.
"She is doing well." Jethro replied.
"Good I hope that we both have healthy babies." Jenny replied.
"Me too." Jethro replied.
"Well I have the night shift at the diner. I will be back in a few hours." Jenny said.
"Have a good night." Jethro replied.
"I will." Jenny assured.
"Be safe." Jethro added kissing his girlfriend on the lips.
"I will don't worry so much." Jenny assured returning the kiss.
