Jenny awoke feeling so much better. She looked around the room and was not surprised to find Gibbs asleep in the chair next to her bed. He promised not to leave her and he was staying true to his word.

She watched him and reflected on everything that had happened over the last few hours. Caressing her lower abdomen, she again thanked God for keeping her babies safe. She also marveled at Jethro's visit to Shannon and Kelly's graves and that he had made a decision to move forward and let go of the pain and hurt of the past. And that he was going forward with her and their babies was amazing in its self.

She looked at Gibbs again.

I love you, Jethro.

I love you.

Gibbs stirred as if sensing her eyes on him. He shifted in his seat and his eyes blinked open.

"Hey, you're awake."

"Ahem."

"How are you feeling?" he asked moving to stand beside her and caressing her cheek.

"Much better, actually." She said. "Thank you for staying."

"There's nowhere else I would rather be."

"Oh Jethro." Jenny murmured and pulled him close.

He stopped a millimeter away from her lips, made eye contact with her and whispered, "I love you."

She lifted her lips to meet his in answer and they kissed gently, delicately and intimately. He moved to sit on the edge of her bed, his lips not leaving hers as she sat up and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. The kiss deepened, evolved and blossomed into a beautiful living, breathing sensation that surrounded and enveloped them.

They were one in mind and soul in that moment and the Tad ad of their babies' hearts was like a cosmic blessing, telling them that this was how it was meant to be for them.

Pulling away long moments later, Jenny caressed Gibbs' cheek.

"What is it, love?"

"Us."

"What about us?"

"We're together, against all odds," she smiled.

"And?" Gibbs was smiling too.

"And it feels wonderful," she said pulling him close again. "Kiss me."

"With pleasure." And that's exactly what he proceeded to do.

Back in the waiting room, Tony and Ziva sat side by side on the couch, Tony's hands in Ziva's hair, Ziva fingers curled into Tony's collar, holding him close, their lips pressed together, their tongues entwined.

Heat and tension built up between them and Tony wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her across onto his lap. She felt his arousal and deepened the kiss. He growled in response as her body pressed and rubbed against his engorged flesh.

All the tension, frustration and worry of the last few weeks, seemed to be channeled into this moment, they pushed and pulled onto each other's emotions, neither one giving the other full control. It was a tag of war, a sweet sensuous war.

When the finally came up for air, Tony grinned.

"Wow, Ms David. That was a very good way of taking my mind off the situation."

Ziva grinned back, "Yes, for me too."

Tony looked at her, enjoying the feel of her in his arms.

"So Ziva," he asked. "Where to from here?"

Just then the door to the waiting room opened.

Ziva scrambled off Tony's lap and stood away from him. He also stood up and moved to stand by the window. He faced his back to the door in an effort to get his body under control.

"McGee, Abby!" Ziva said her voice louder than usual and her cheeks pink.

"Ziva, are you okay?" Abby asked looking at her curiously.

"I'm fine. Really." Ziva replied looking away.

"No, something isn't right." Abby said. "Did something happen to Jenny or the babies?"

"Abby, I don't think…" McGee started saying as Tony turned and glared at him to be quiet. That made Ziva's blush deepen.

"What did you bring us to eat?" Tony demanded stepping forward and taking the packets of take away from McGee's hands.

"Tony," Abby asked. "Why are you so upset?"

"I'm not upset." Tony replied.

"Abby," McGee interrupted. "Maybe we should get some coffee."

"No, what is going on here." Abby looked from one to the next to the next. "Are you hiding something from me?"

"No Abby." Ziva said.

"C'mon Abs." Tony said.

"Wait, just tell me that Jenny and the babies are okay?" Abby demanded.

"Yes, Abby, they are fine." Ziva said.

"Okay good." Abby said. "Oh my God, is Gibbs okay?"

"Yes, he is also alright." Ziva replied.

"C'mon, let's eat and then get back to our to do lists." Tony asked.

Abby looked from Tony to Ziva and then to McGee and back.

McGee looked at the floor because every time he looked at Ziva, she blushed and that was so unlike the Ziva he knew. It he looked Tony, he got a nasty glare.

"Something is going on here." Abby stated. "And I'm going to find out what it is."

That said, Abby proceeded to unpack the various boxes of Chinese food. She than sat down between Tony and Ziva and proceeded to eat. Tony looked at Ziva over Abby's head and gave her a quick apologetic smile, which made her blush again.

Oh Boy, they're breaking rule number 12, McGee thought as he silently ate his chicken spring roll.
