oooooooooOOOOOooooooooo
Tony and Ziva paced the length of the waiting room.
"He was so quiet during the drive." Tony said.
"He was worried." Ziva said.
"I know." Tony said. "What the hell was he doing out there in the cold when he should have been at home with Jenny?"
"He couldn't have stopped this from happening." Ziva said.
"Well he could have gotten help for her sooner. Damn it he was so contained, so calm. He didn't even shout for me to drive faster." Tony shouted.
"He wasn't calm. He was afraid." Ziva said.
"Well that's just great. How am I supposed to accept that the most fearless man I know was sitting scared stiff in my car?"
"Anthony." Ducky admonished as he walked into the room. McGee and Abby following close on his heels.
"How is Jenny?" Ziva asked.
"Dr Malone is still examining her." Abby said as she sat down. "How can this be happening? It's not fair."
"Life rarely is." Ducky said, as he sat down next Abby.
"Is Gibbs okay?" McGee asked.
"Yes." Ziva said.
"No." Tony said at the same time.
"Tony..." Ziva warned.
"He is not okay. And if Jenny loses their babies, it's going to push him over into lala land."
"Tony, stop it." Abby shouted, tears in her eyes.
"Let's all calm down, shall we. " Ducky intervened. "We don't know what exactly is wrong with Jenny and it is of no value to speculate."
"What other possible reason could there be for bleeding?" Tony asked.
"There are a number of medical conditions that could lead to bleeding during the first trimester of pregnancy." Ducky said.
"Yeah." Abby sat forward. "I heard that the cervical tissue can become so sensitive due to hormonal changes that just making love can lead to bleeding."
"Abby, I don't think I want to know this." McGee said leaning back against the far wall.
"Intercourse?" Tony stopped pacing and stared at Abby. "Are you saying Gibbs and Jenny..."
"No! I don't know." Abby gasped. "I'm just saying what I've heard. I don't know if Gibbs and Jenny... I don't know anything. I've never been pregnant. Stop looking at me like that."
"What other reasons could there be Dr Mallard?" Ziva asked, distracting Tony and giving Abby a breather.
"Subchorionic Hemorrhage."
"That sounds dangerous." McGee said.
"Not really. It is a small clot that causes bleeding and then dissolves away harmlessly. Rarely if ever does the clot dissect between the placenta and the attachment to the mother and cause a miscarriage." Ducky said.
"Placenta... Attachment.... " Tony said, looking pale.
"Could she have an Ectopic pregnancy?" Abby asked.
"Ectopic pregnancy?" McGee gulped.
"That's when a foetus attaches inside the tube, right?" Ziva asked.
"I never realized that so much could go wrong." Tony complained.
"I doubt it is an Ectopic pregnancy." Ducky said. "Dr Malone would have seen it in the first ultrasound if that was the case." Ducky said.
"When will we know what's wrong?" Ziva asked.
"And how are we going to help Gibbs and Jenny, if it is a miscarriage?" Tony asked.
oooooooooOOOOOooooooooo
Jenny and Jethro looked at Dr Malone.
Jethro held his breathe. Please let my babies be safe, he prayed.
Dr Malone nodded at the ultrasound screen.
"See this and this." She said, pointing to two masses. "Listen to this."
Jethro held Jenny's hand and they listened.
Tad ..tad
Tad .. tad
"They're okay?" Jenny asked.
They're okay! Our babies are okay. Gibbs blinked trying to keep the moisture at bay.
"They're okay." Jenny repeated in awe as she looked at him.
He could speak just then. So he nodded his head and kissed her forehead.
"For now, they're fine." Dr Malone said. "Their heart beats are strong and I can see and hear both of them."
"Thank God!" Jenny sobbed.
"For now? What do you mean?" Gibbs asked.
"We need to run a few blood tests and I want Jenny admitted so we can monitor her better." Dr Malone said as she withdrew the ultrasound arm. It was streaked with blood. "You will need complete bed rest, Jenny."
"Okay... okay... whatever I need to do." Jenny sniffed as she laid back, her hand over her lower abdomen, Jethro's hand over hers, his forehead pressed against hers.
"I want you to stop crying and to calm down. Jethro, stay with her while I get things organised. I'll send the pathologist here to draw the blood samples." Dr Malone said as she left the room.
"I'm not going anywhere." Gibbs whispered.
Jenny took a deep breath. As Gibbs leaned forward to kiss her forehead she turned away.
"Jenny?" he questioned.
"Where were you, Jethro?" She asked.
"We can discuss it later, Jen. Rest now."
"I want an answer." Jenny demanded. "How could you leave without letting me know? Then you don't answer your phone."
"The Doctor said you need to say calm Jenny." Jethro warned.
"Get out." Jenny said.
"I won't leave you, Jenny."
"I said, get out. You want me to calm down, than get out." Jenny ordered and turned her head away.
"You shouldn't be alone now." He insisted.
Jenny sat up and shouted, "No I shouldn't. You should have thought about that before you left me this morning. Argh." Jenny gasped as she fell back against the pillows her hands clamped over her stomach.
"Jenny!" Gibbs reached for her.
"Leave me alone. Please Jethro... Just go!" Jenny panted clearly in pain.
"Okay, Just calm down." Gibbs said. "I'll be right outside the door."
Holding his frustration at bay he reluctantly left her side.
oooooooooOOOOOooooooooo
