A/N: Another JIBBS oneshot, with a few missed characters we miss from the series. I've been absent for a few days because of personal stuff, handwriting these stories and learning of the passing of David McCallum AKA Ducky. RIP David McCallum. Enjoy this, Angels.
It's not the pain that causes him to wake up, it's not hearing Abby crying from a distance, it's not hearing Tony begging for him to hold on, it's not hearing Tim calling for the paramedics, it's the smell of shampoo and fingers running through his grey hair. Then he hears a voice.
"Come on, Gibbs, wake up!" A familiar voice tells him sternly. It's a voice that he hasn't heard in four years, not since her death. His eyes open and he's looking into a pair of brown eyes. The brown eyes of Caitlin "Kate" Todd.
"Kate." He whispers, sitting up and looking at his surroundings. He pales when he realises where they are: the rooftop where she was shot and killed in front of him and Tony four years ago. He stands up, Kate following, and hugs her tightly. "I missed you, Kate." He whispers. Kate smiles and pulls out of the hug. "Missed you too, Gibbs. Go be happy with her." Kate says as she fades before his eyes. Once Kate disappears, Gibbs feels darkness enclosing around him as he passes out again, confusion clouding his mind.
When he comes to this time, it's to the sound of waves crashing on a beach and laughter all around him, laughters he'll recognise anywhere. Kelly. His little girl and his first wife are on a beach, looking at him with smiles.
"Daddy!" Kelly shouts from where she's standing with Shannon. "She's waiting for you!" His daughter shouts at him. Shannon smiles brightly at him. "Go to her, Jethro, we love you." His beautiful first wife says before she and their daughter, like Kate, start to disappear before him.
Who are they talking about? Who's she? Jethro thinks to himself. He's confused as to who's waiting for him. Not many people he cares about are female. At least females who are not dead. He supposes it could be Paula Cassidy but she was way closer to Tony than to him. He's not gotten anywhere before darkness encloses him again.
This time he comes to in a place he's not been in a decade. He's in Paris.
Paris. The former agent and sniper thinks to himself. He was in Paris with her.
"Hello, Jethro." Says a voice from behind him. He spins around and a smile crawls across his face.
Standing there in a backless green dress, her long red hair in curls, green eyes sparkling and a smile on her face, is Jennifer "Jenny, Jen" Shepard. "Hi, Jen." He says quietly. He slowly walks towards her and crushes his lips to hers in a bruising kiss. They pull away from each other after two minutes. "I missed you, Jen." Jethro tells her, pulling her into a hug. He buries his nose into her hair, which she melts into, inhaling her scent. "I missed you too, Jethro." Jen whispers, pulling out of the hug. Jenny smiles at him. "Come on, let's go explore Paris." She says as she begins to drag him around the City of Love. He laughs as they run through cars, not getting hit by them.
He can't believe he's dead and gets to spend his eternity with Jen, the second love of his life.
