Jethro had decided to let us go home early since we had gotten further in the case. Ethan had picked me up from work and we had gone to his studio apartment in Georgetown. We had decided to stay in instead of going out like we normally did. After Ethan made dinner for me, we had settled in the living room to watch The Graduate. During the previews Ethan decided to drop a bombshell on me.
“Hon; there is something I have to tell you.”
“Yeah, go ahead.” I said as I turned so that I could see Ethan’s face.
“My CO called me into his office this morning.”
“And; what did he say?”
“I have to leave for a tour in Iraq in the morning.”
“So tonight is our last night together.”
“Pretty much.”
“How long will you be gone this time?”
“Not sure, ten months at the most.”
“Well then; let’s make tonight a night that you’ll remember.” I said with a mischievous tone.
The next morning I awoke to the sound of rain hitting the ceiling of Ethan’s apartment. Ethan was gone by the time I got up. Next to me where Ethan had been was a note.
Jaylyn,
I know it isn’t easy being a Marine’s girlfriend, but I love you. You are probably worrying about me right now. Don’t worry I will be safe, I will come home. You are my world; I don’t know what I would do without you. The one thing that always gets me through these tours is the fact that I will be coming home to you.
Be careful at work. Let Agent Gibbs and Agent David protect you. I know that Agent Gibbs will protect you; partially because he is dating your sister, but also because he is a Marine. And I know you will listen to Agent David. I hope your case will be solved quickly. I will write every chance I get.
With all my love,
Ethan
A tear slid down my face and onto the note. I grabbed one of Ethan’s button down shirts and put it on. Minutes later after changing in the bathroom it was time to leave. Before I walked out of the apartment I grabbed my things and the note from Ethan. In the elevator I put the note in my purse and pulled out my phone.
I called Ziva to see if she could pick me up.
“Agent David.” Ziva said when she answered her phone.
“Ziva, it’s me. I need you to pick me up on your way in today. I am at Ethan’s.”
“Can’t Ethan bring you in? I am kind of busy at the moment.”
“No, Ethan can’t bring me in; he just left for a ten month deployment in Iraq. Pull yourself away from Tony.”
“Okay; I’ll be there in five minutes. Are you alright?”
“What do you think Ziva? My boyfriend just left me to serve his country.”
A little while later we were at the office. Ziva and Tony were interrogating Commander Andrews. McGee was with Abby. Once again Jenny and Jethro came out of MTAC. This time they had finished up with a video conference with the NCIS Agent in Bahrain.
“I need a favor, Jethro?” Jenny said as they looked down to me in the squad room.
“Sure Jen.”
“Console Jay like you consoled Abby in the elevator four years ago.”
“What happened?”
“Ethan just left on a ten month deployment to Iraq.”
Jethro did as he was asked. Moments later Jethro joined me in the squad room.
“How did Shannon deal with being a Marine’s wife? How did she deal with saying good-bye every time you were deployed?”
“I don’t know how she did, Jaylyn. She just dealt with it; she had to be strong for herself and for Kelly.”
At this point Jethro had come over to my desk and hugged me just as he had with Abby in the elevator four years earlier.
“I don’t know what I going to do, Jethro. Ethan has only been gone for a few hours and I already miss him.”
“It will get easier, I promise.”
Jethro looked up to Jenny who had been watching from the railing in front of MTAC the entire time. The look of gratitude on Jenny’s face was enough for Jethro. A few minutes later Jethro’s cell rang. While he was on the phone Tony, Ziva and McGee were back at their desks. Jethro didn’t have a good look on his face.
“What is it Boss?”
“I have to talk to the Director.” Gibbs answered Tony as he got up and to the stairs to Jenny’s office.
“What’s wrong, Jethro?” Jenny asked when she noticed Jethro standing in front of her.
“Callen was killed today while he was undercover.”
“How?”
“Gunfight and before you ask the memorial is in LA tomorrow.”
“Are bringing the team or are we going ourselves?”
“Callen was NCIS Jen, the team is coming.”
The next morning we were all on Davenport’s private jet on our way to LA for Callen’s memorial. Jenny, Abby, Ziva and I had decided to change on the plane. Our badges were in their cases with the black strap across the front of them. The guys had been in their memorial attire before we arrived at the airport.
“So how did you know Agent Callen, Gibbs?” Abby asked.
“Callen, Director Shepard and I worked on cases together ten years ago.”
“Oh, Gibbs.”
I sat back and look around the cabin. Jenny and Jethro sat together reminiscing about old times with Callen. Tony was comforting a distraught Ziva who remembered her sister and brother. Abby and McGee just talked to each other. Ducky and I both thought of our better halves.
Dr. Hampton was looking after Ducky’s corgis and his house when she wasn’t filling in for Ducky at NCIS. As I saw the three couples before me; I thought of Ethan. By now Ethan was in Green Zone. Things were going to be different over the next ten months.

Bonding and Romantic Gestures
The next day none of us wanted to go back to work. But when Jenny, Ziva, Abby and I got in that morning we all had a nice surprise waiting for us on our respective desks. Jethro had a vase of orchids delivered to Jenny from a local florist. When Jenny noticed the flowers on her desk she went over to read the card that was attached.
Vous êtes mon monde, mon âme, vous êtes mon vrai amour.
Jenny smiled after she read the card. Jethro knew that she loved it when he spoke French. It reminded her of their time in Paris. When Ziva came in she had found a vase of lilies. The card was in the front.
Vous êtes mon amour et soulmate.
Once Ziva had read the card all her doubts had disappeared. Ziva walked over to Tony after she put the card down and was so close to Tony that he could feel her breath on him.
“Je vous aime, Tony” Ziva said as she leaned into kiss Tony.
McGee had left black roses for Abby. On my desk there was a vase of hibiscus from Ethan. Like Jenny and Ziva’s flowers there was a card with the flowers.
You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you with every fiber of my being. To me you mean the world.
Ziva saw the look on my face after I finished reading the card.
“What did Ethan say?” Ziva asked.
“Here read it for yourself."
Ziva came over to my desk and took the card from me to read. A few minutes later Ziva had the same expression I had.
“Sweet isn’t it?”
“Its heartfelt, you got one of the good ones.”
Tony looked up from the file he was reading.
“Besides you.” Ziva said comforting Tony’s bruised psyche.
“So what are you girls up to today?” McGee asked us.
“Well Ziva, Abby and I are having lunch with the Director in a few minutes.”
It was bit weird calling Jenny the Director instead of by her name, but it had to be done.
“Agent Shepard?” the NCIS adman said.
“Yes.”
“You are in violation of the NCIS dress code.”
By this point Jethro was at his desk.
“You got to be kidding.” I responded.
“Sorry ma’am, afraid I’m not.”
“I can wear whatever I damn well please. I’m the Director’s sister and if she or Agent Gibbs have an issue with my attire then I will follow the NCIS dress code.”
“Jaylyn.” Jethro said reeling me in.
The adman left after Jethro spoke. It seemed like the adman feared Jethro. Then again everyone at NCIS knew that Jethro Gibbs was protective of the women he worked with. Abby soon arrived in the squad-room to head up to Jenny’s office with Ziva and me. I grabbed my jacket and slipped the card from my flowers in the pocket to show Jenny.
Cynthia had ordered lunch for us at Jenny’s request. A few seconds before we had walked into Jenny’s office the food with a Caf-Pow for Abby; Jenny had poured some bourbon for Ziva, me and her.
“Bourbon, Director.” Ziva said.
“It’s an acquired taste.”
“So you and Gibbs are back together then?” Abby asked.
“You could say that.”
“Mom and Dad are back together.”
Jenny, Ziva and I laughed at Abby’s quip. The four of us spent the next hour or so eating and talking.
“I see Jethro gave you orchids.”
“He did.”
“What does the card say?”
“He had the florist write; Vous êtes mon monde, mon âme, vous êtes mon vrai amour.”
“Which means?” Abby asked.
“You are my world, my soul, you are my true love.” Ziva answered.
“Awe that was so sweet of Gibbs.”
“Did Tony give you any flowers?”
“He gave me lilies.”
“What does the card say?
“Vous êtes mon amour et soulmate.”
“Tony had the florist write that.” Jenny and I said in unison.
“What is the translation, I don’t know French.” Abby said.
“Tony told Ziva that she is his love and his soulmate.”
“Did you get flowers Jaylyn?” Jenny asked.
“Yeah; Ethan sent a vase of hibiscus flowers.”
“What does the card say?” Abby asked.
“You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you with every fiber of my being. To me you mean the world.” I answered.
“That’s sweet.” Jenny said.
“Did you get any flowers, Abby?” I asked.
“McGee had flowers delivered just like Tony, Gibbs and Ethan did.”
“Black Roses, Abby?”
“Of course.”
“McGee?” Jenny, Ziva and I asked a bit puzzled.
“McGee and I dated six years ago.”
“And now you guys are back together.” Ziva said.
“Yeah we are.”
At that point I knew that we would all be okay. And that is all that matter.
Vous êtes mon monde, mon âme, vous êtes mon vrai amour.
Jenny smiled after she read the card. Jethro knew that she loved it when he spoke French. It reminded her of their time in Paris. When Ziva came in she had found a vase of lilies. The card was in the front.
Vous êtes mon amour et soulmate.
Once Ziva had read the card all her doubts had disappeared. Ziva walked over to Tony after she put the card down and was so close to Tony that he could feel her breath on him.

A Holiday Break from Work
Thankfully Davenport’s wife had convinced him to give NCIS a day off and to have Army CID take over. So with the day off I decided it was time for Ethan and I to have some fun, it was Valentine’s Day after all. Everyone on Team Gibbs had Valentine’s Day plans. Jethro was taking Jenny out to dinner. Tony and Ziva were staying in at Tony’s for a romantic dinner and a movie.
Ducky was spending the holiday with his flame; Dr. Jordan Hampton. Abby had persuaded McGee to hang out with her at a party she was going to. Jenny and I kept busy between our respective closets trying to find something to wear on our dates and running possible outfits by each other. Jenny was going for the sultry yet conservative look whereas I was going for sultry and pure seduction. I knew that once Jenny became the Director of NCIS again that her fun-loving, carefree self would take a backseat to her responsible, conservative self.
“It’s Valentine’s Day Jen; you’re suppose to be seducing Jethro like you did in Paris and Serbia, not making him guess at what is underneath the clothes.”
“Jethro already knows what is underneath the clothes, Jay.”
“He also knows what is underneath his ex-wives clothes and Colonel Mann’s clothes.”
“I don’t have to worry about Hollis anymore. She’s in Lanai. And Jethro’s ex-wives are happy as long as he continues paying them alimony.” Jenny said as she took a sip of her bourbon.
“Isn’t it a bit early for that?” I said as I came to the doorway of Jenny’s bedroom.
“The sun is down somewhere in the world.”
“Are you going with the sultry seductress or the conservative head of a government agency look?”
“I get where you are coming from Jay; but its one thing for you to go for the dress that says sultry seductress, it’s quite another for me to go with the sultry seductress.”
“Jen; you can pull it off too.”
“It’s better on you because you are younger.”
“Age shouldn’t be a factor.”
“Okay Jay; you win. I’ll where the red dress.”
“Good, I’m going with that pink bodes dress I have in my closet.”
Once Jenny and I had figured out what we were wearing we had no problem with what shoes we were wearing. We had both decided on open-toed stilettos heels. By 7pm Jethro and Ethan were waiting for us. Ethan couldn’t take his eyes off of me which was the exact reaction that I was hoping for. After Ethan and I kissed; I had nestled myself in his arms. Minutes after I had nestled myself into Ethan’s arms Jenny was coming down the stairs. I could see the smile play across Jethro’s face as he saw Jenny come down.
“You’re absolutely gorgeous, Jen.”
“Thank-you, Jethro.” Jenny said slightly blushing.
Jethro took Jenny’s hand; pulled her into him and kissed her passionately. Within minutes we all left the apartment for our dates. Meanwhile Ziva was at Tony’s. Tony was picking out a movie from his DVD collection for them to watch as Ziva made dinner for them.
“How does Casablanca sound?” Tony called from the living room.
“Sounds perfect, come here and taste this.”
Ziva was making pasta and chicken marsala for them.
“It’s perfect.”
“You have some sauce on your cheek. I’ll take care of it.”
With one kiss Ziva had the sauce off of Tony’s cheek. And of course Tony wanted seconds.
“It’s Amore.” Tony said.
“It is Valentine’s Day, Tony.”
“Why don’t we skip the movie and dinner? Let’s have a little fun of own.”
“That is all you ever want to do.”
Tony and Ziva had dinner and then went to have the fun that Tony wanted to have. Afterwards Tony’s curiosity got the better of him.
“So how does it feel to be U.S. citizen?”
“It is one of the best things I could have ever done for myself.”
“What are the other two?”
“You are one of the other two are.”
“How is being on your own, away from Mossad and your father?”
“I told you not to mention Mossad or Director David after we make love.”
“Still a sore subject.”
“It’s not quite fully healed.”
“Oh.”
“Thank-you again for saving me.”
“It was nothing.” Tony said as he kissed Ziva’s forehead.
After their talk Ziva nestled her against Tony’s bare chest just as she had four years ago when they went undercover as the married assassins and fell asleep. By midnight Ethan and I were back at the apartment in my room. We had just had the best evening when I had fallen asleep just like Ziva had. Jethro and Jenny had found their way to Jenny’s room. Jenny had fallen asleep in Jethro’s arms.
Abby and McGee were at the party until 1am. By twenty after one they had make it back to Abby’s apartment and Abby’s coffin. Ducky had embraced his gentleman side and brought Dr. Hampton home around 11pm and was back home before the dogs had ran amok. But in the middle of the night Ziva had woken up. She couldn’t fall back to sleep.
Did I make the right choice? Ziva thought.
Of course I did. Dad never cared for me. Gibbs has been more of a father to me than my own father ever has.
Dad didn’t even bother sending some to save me.
Tony saved me. And NCIS has been my home for the past four years. I never felt safe at Mossad. I was always looking over my shoulder.
I’ve got to stop doubting myself and my choices.
NCIS is my family and Tony is the love of my life. That’s all that matters.

“I get where you are coming from Jay; but its one thing for you to go for the dress that says sultry seductress, it’s quite another for me to go with the sultry seductress.”
“Jen; you can pull it off.”
“It’s better on you because you are younger.”
“Age shouldn’t be a factor.”
“Okay Jay; you win. I’ll where the red dress.”
“Good, I’m going with that pink strapless dress I have in my closet.”
Once Jenny and I had figured out what we were wearing we had no problem with what shoes we were wearing. We had both decided that open-toed stilettos. By 7pm Jethro and Ethan were waiting for us. Ethan couldn’t take his eyes off of me which was the exact reaction I was hoped for. After Ethan and I kissed, I nestled myself in his arms. Minutes after I had nestled myself into Ethan’s arms, Jenny was coming down the stairs. I could see the smile play across Jethro’s face as he saw Jenny come down.
“You’re absolutely gorgeous, Jen.”
“Thank-you, Jethro.” Jenny said slightly blushing.
Jethro took Jenny’s hand, pulled her into him and kissed her passionately. Within minutes we all left the apartment for our dates. Meanwhile Ziva was at Tony’s. Tony was picking out a movie from his DVD collection for them to watch as Ziva made dinner for them.
“How does Casablanca sound?” Tony called from the living room.
“Sounds perfect, come here and taste this.”
Ziva was making pasta and chicken marsala for them.
“It’s perfect.”
“You have some sauce on your cheek. I’ll take care of it.”
With one kiss Ziva had the sauce off of Tony’s cheek. And of course Tony wanted seconds.
“It’s Amore.” Tony said.
“It is Valentine’s Day.”
“Why don’t we skip the movie and dinner? Let’s have a little fun of own.”
“That is all you ever want to do.”
Tony and Ziva had dinner and then went to have the fun that Tony wanted to have. Afterwards Tony’s curiosity got the better of him.
“So how does it feel to be U.S. citizen?”
“It is one of the best things I could have ever done for myself.”
“What are the other two?”
“You know what the other two are.”
“How is it being on your own, away from Mossad and your father?”
“I told you not to mention Mossad or Director David after we make love.”
“Still a sore subject?”
“It’s not quite fully healed.”
“Oh.”
“Thank-you again for saving me.”
“It was nothing.” Tony said as he kissed Ziva’s forehead.
After their talk Ziva nestled herself against Tony’s bare chest just as she had four years ago when they went undercover as married assassins and fell asleep. By midnight Ethan and I were back at the apartment in my room. We just had the best evening when I had fallen asleep just like Ziva had. Jethro and Jenny had found their way to Jenny’s room. Jenny had fallen asleep in Jethro’s arms.
Abby and McGee were at the party until 1am. By twenty after one they had make it back to Abby’s apartment and Abby’s coffin. Ducky had embraced his gentleman side and brought Dr. Hampton home around 11pm and was back home before the dogs had ran amok. But in the middle of the night Ziva had woken up. She couldn’t fall back to sleep.
Did I make the right choice? Ziva thought.
Of course I did. Dad never cared for me. Gibbs has been more of a father to me than my own father ever has.
Dad didn’t even bother sending someone to save me.
Tony saved me. NCIS has been my home for the past four years. I never felt safe at Mossad. I was always looking over my shoulder.
I’ve got to stop doubting myself and my choices.
NCIS is my family and Tony is the love of my life. That’s all that matters.
Business and Leisure
About an hour or so later we were back from the crime scene. Ducky and Palmer were autopsying the body in autopsy. Jethro was with McGee and Abby in Abby’s lab. Ziva was on the phone with her one of her contacts as Tony worked on a lead. As for me; I was at lunch with Jenny.
We had just gotten our salads. Jenny was eating a house salad with balsamic dressing as I ate my Cesar salad.
“So what happened between you and Jethro after I left earlier?”
“Nothing happened between Jethro and me.”
“Bull; I saw the look between the two of you.”
“Nothing happen Jay.”
“I think that after all this time as sisters I know when something is going on with you. What happened between you and Jethro?” I tried for the second time.
Jenny didn’t answer, but the glint of amusement in her eyes and the smile on her face said it all.
“You didn’t?”
“We did, but it was short-lived.”
“You pulled away.”
“I didn’t pull away.”
“Jethro?” I questioned taking a bite of my salad.
“He got the call about the case you are working on.”
“And that’s it; one phone call and you let him walk out.”
“You honestly think that after breaking up with Jethro fourteen years ago that I was going to let him walk out of my office.” Jenny said as she took a bite of her salad.
“So you guys kissed again.”
“Jay, you know I don’t kiss and tell.”
“You did, so where does that leave the two of you?” I asked.
“Jethro and I are having dinner together later.”
“Which means he is going to bring steak au poivre to you instead of you guys going out.”
“What’s so bad about Jethro bringing dinner to me in my office?”
“You guys can’t exactly have dessert at work.”
“I know that Jay, besides it may not even go that far.”
“Dear God Jen, are you that naïve.”
My sister didn’t say a word, instead she stared at me.
“This is Jethro we are talking about here, Jen. When the two of you get together it verges on R.”
“And your love life isn’t?”
“I never said that it wasn’t. I’m the one that is supposed to have the love life that you and Jethro have.”
“So what are you doing tonight?”
“Going out to dinner and to the movies with Ethan.” I answered.
A few hours later Jethro had sent the entire team home for the night. Jethro brought Jenny dinner just as he had promised. As for me; I was preoccupied with a certain Marine of my own. Needless to say Ethan and I never made it to the restaurant or the movie. Jethro brought Jenny home after they had finished dinner; apparently it was time for dessert.
Ethan and I were in the living room on the couch. We were entangled in each other with a bed sheet wrapped around us. The lights were turned down low. As Ethan kissed my neck, I had let out a giggle right as Jenny and Jethro walked past. Without any warning Jethro came over and pulled Ethan off of me. My sister and I had a thing for men in uniforms.
“Jethro!!!!” I said as I quickly wrapped the sheet around me.
Jethro grabbed Ethan’s clothes and brought him to the door.
“What the hell was that; Jethro?” I asked.
“Jaylyn.”
“No Jen; I am not going to back off. Jethro just kicked my boyfriend out.”
“You are too young to be that involved with a Marine.” Jethro said.
“Too young, that’s the best you can do.” I said as I stormed off to my room.
“She isn’t a child Jethro.”
“I know that.”
“So are you just going to stand there or are we going pick up where we left off earlier?”
Jethro pulled Jenny into his arms and kissed her. Within minutes Jethro and Jenny moved to Jenny’s bedroom. Thankfully Jethro didn’t scare Ethan off. Ethan had stuck around for a few minutes. Ethan decided to climb the fire escape and into my bedroom to me. In an hour Jenny was asleep in Jethro’s arms just as I was asleep in Ethan’s arms.
The Shepard women were happy for the first time in years. Neither one of us wanted anything to change. Both Jenny and I had been completely in the moment as we made love to our respective man. The next day Jenny and I had that glow about us. I knew that it was only a matter of time before Tony started prying.
While at work neither Jethro, Jenny nor myself could focus on the tasks before us. Jenny had meetings all day as well as video conference in MTAC with one of NCIS’s Agents Afloat. Jethro kept thinking of Jenny and when they would be able to step away for a moment to themselves. As for me I was resisting the urge to text Ethan. But my thoughts of Ethan were instantly crushed when Tony brought me back to reality after Jethro had left to get yet another cup of coffee and a Caf-Pow for Abby.
“So what has you glowing Jaylyn?” Tony asked.
“Tony.” Ziva reprimanded.
“Sorry Tony; I don’t kiss and tell.”
“It’s a guy isn’t it?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?”
At that moment I knew that I had to give into temptation. I got up from my desk and called Ethan. I was hoping that he wasn’t too busy. As the phone rang I knew that I had completely fallen for Ethan just as Jenny had fallen for Jethro once again. It was meant to be for us Shepard women.
About an hour or so later we were back from the crime scene. Ducky and Palmer were autopsying the body in autopsy. Jethro was with McGee and Abby in Abby’s lab. Ziva was on the phone with her one of her contacts as Tony worked on a lead. As for me; I was at lunch with Jenny.

Arrivals and Changes
It had been awhile since I had seen Jethro Gibbs and his team. The last time the seven of us had seen each other was a year ago at my sister’s memorial service. That day had been hard on all of us, but it was harder for Jethro, Ziva and I. Jethro had lost the one woman that he had truly loved and cared for since his first wife, Shannon died eighteen years ago. Ziva like me; had lost her best friend, she also lost a person who was like a mother to her. As for me, I lost my sister.
Recently I had learned that Jenny was alive. Jenny and I had been living in a two bedroom apartment for the last six months since Jethro had burn down our childhood home with Franks. Today, Jenny and I were going to NCIS to mend the hole that was left when she died and to have her reclaim the Director’s office. We were meeting the Secretary of the Navy to get the orders that relieved Director Vance from his position and reinstated Jenny. When Jenny and I had arrived at NCIS; I could notice that my sister wasn’t herself.
“I can’t believe you are wearing that today.” Jenny said commenting on my sun dress.
“What’s wrong with my dress?” I asked as we walked past the squad room where Jethro, Ziva, Tony and McGee were.
“You shouldn’t have worn that on your first day as an NCIS Agent, especially when you are going to be on Jethro’s team.” Jenny answered.
“I’ll be fine Jen.”
As my sister and I climbed the stairs to her old office I noticed the looks on Ziva, Tony and McGee’s faces. All three of them had looked like they had just seen a ghost as Jenny walked by. Jethro on the other hand had a look of concern and bewilderment on his face. McGee and Tony called Abby and Ducky to tell them that Jenny had just walked by and to get up to the squad room. Before long Jenny and I were face to face with Leon Vance.
“Jenny; what the, you’re supposed to be...” Vance said.
“Dead, I know. I faked my death.”
“Who is this with you?”
“This is my sister, Jaylyn, Leon. She will be apart of Jethro’s team.”
“No Jenny, she won’t. I’m the Director now, not you.”
“Sorry Leon, but I am the Director and you are the Assistant Director once again. SECNAV’s orders, apparently Davenport knows about your side activity.” Jenny said.
“What side activity?” Vance questioned.
“You’ve been selling our intelligence secrets to our enemies; Vance, don’t play dumb.” I said.
Vance realized that he had been busted and quietly left. Once Vance had left Jenny sat down at her desk, took out the picture of our father and put it on the desk where it belonged. Minutes later Jethro joined us in Jenny’s office.
“Jethro.” Jenny said. I could see my sister’s eyes light up as she said his name.
“Jenny.” Jethro said as his blue eyes met her green eyes.
“There is no need to be so subtle, I can take a hint.” I said closing the door behind me.
As I made my way to the squad room I couldn’t help but think that it wasn’t necessarily a good thing to leave Jethro and Jenny alone in the same room considering their past. I could only imagine what was going on between Jenny and Jethro as I got closer to the squad-room. It was obvious what Tony thought was going on upstairs. Once I got to the squad room I waited with the team. Meanwhile back upstairs things between my sister and Jethro got underway.
“Where have you been?” Jethro asked.
“Well I had my own margarita safari in Mexico for the first six months; stayed with Franks. Then Jay brought me back and we’ve been living in an apartment the last six months because someone decided to burn my house down.” Jenny answered with a mischievous look in her eyes.
“Why did Leon leave?”
“Leon was given his old job back.”
Jethro gave Jenny the Gibbs stare knowing perfectly well that she had pulled some strings to get her job back. In response Jenny stared Jethro down with her stare which always made him cave. Neither one of them said anything for a minute.
“So what’s your next move, Jethro?”
There was a mischievous look in his eyes before he answered.
“This Jen.” Jethro said as he walked over to her, pulled her out of her chair, into his arms and kissed her.
It had been a decade since Jethro and Jenny had shared a kiss like this one. Within minutes Jenny had completely lost herself in the moment. She was quiet content in Jethro’s arms. It was as if the rest of the world had completely disappeared until Jethro’s phone rang.
“Some things never change”. Jenny thought as Jethro pulled away from the embrace to answer his phone. Jenny went back to her desk and waited for Jethro to tell her what the call was about.
“There’s a dead Marine Staff Sergeant at Quantico.” Jethro said as he walked around Jenny’s desk to kiss her on the head.
“Jethro, I’ve waited ten years, an ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend for us to have what we had in Paris; you are going to say good-bye like you did then.”
“Jen, I have to go.”
“The crime scene can wait five minutes; Jethro.”
Jethro knew he wasn’t going to win so he pulled her from her chair once again and pulled her into his arms before he kissed her.
“You always knew how to make me go weak at the knees.”
Jethro smirked before answering.
“What are you doing for lunch today?” Jethro asked as he pulled away from Jenny once again and walked towards the door.
“Jay and I were going to lunch at Palina’s.”
“Oh.” Jethro said before he opened the door.
“There is always dinner and dessert, Jethro.”
“Dinner and dessert it is.”
Jethro left and Jenny returned to her desk. Moments later as Jethro made his way down to us; Jenny made her way to MTAC. For a brief moment as Jethro walked down the stairs and Jenny drew closer to MTAC, they shared a look. Abby, Ziva and I saw the look between my sister and Jethro.
“Finally!!!!” I said.
