“So how is that case of yours, Jethro?” Davenport asked.
“Just about solved sir, I was just briefing the Director when you arrived.”
At that point Jenny was hoping against hope that Davenport had bought Jethro’s explanation.
“Have you ruled out any suspects, Jethro?” Davenport inquired.
“Yes sir, my team and I ruled out the Staff Sergeant’s wife and Commander Andrews.”
“So that leaves Lance Corporal Bellmen.”
“Yes sir, we were on our way to arrest him.” Jethro said.
“Good, I’ll be expecting a briefing Director Shepard.” Davenport said as he got up and left.
Once Davenport left, Jenny let out a sigh of relief.
“I’ll talk to Jaylyn about keeping our relationship quiet. You can talk to the others.” Jenny instructed.
“Will do Jen.” Jethro said as headed towards the door.
“Forgetting something, Jethro?”
Meanwhile I had just arrived for yet another day of work.
“So are you girls doing anything today?” Tony asked.
“Spa day after we arrest Lance Corporal Bellmen.” I answered after I had set my gun in the draw.
Tony’s face lit up once he heard the phrase Spa Day.
“Tony.” Ziva said knowing what Tony was thinking of.
“You got to be kidding.”
Before long I noticed Jenny at the railing in front of MTAC looking down on us. She rolled her eyes as Tony continued to dig himself in deeper. With one look from me Jenny knew we were on the same page.
“Agent Shepard, Director Shepard wants to talk to you.” Jethro said as he came into the squad room.
“Try and say that five times fast. Agent Shepard, Director Shepard.”
“Slap for me Ziva.”
Ziva was hesitant at first, but she slapped Tony as instructed.
“Sorry.”
“You three obviously know that the Director and I had a relationship ten years ago.”
“Yeah, Boss; the entire team knows.” McGee said.
“We also know that you and the Director are back together.” Ziva said.
“That is to stay between myself, the Director and the team. SECNAV cannot find out.”
“Yes Boss.” Tony and McGee said.
“Yes Gibbs.” Ziva replied.
“DiNozzo, McGee go arrest Lance Corporal Bellmen; David grab you stuff. You are leaving for the Spa as soon as the Director and Agent Shepard are finished talking.”
Ziva nodded and grabbed her bag as Abby came up to wait with her. Before long we were at the Spa. We were all getting deep tissue massages as we drank some wine.
“Who’s paying for this?” I asked.
“Jethro paid for it.”
“That was sweet of him.” Ziva said.
“It's about time Gibbs fulfilled his promise. He said he would pay for mine and Kate’s spa five years ago.”
“Well Abs you’re getting it now.”
“And we solved our case.”
“Good job on that. Now I can relax before the Marine Corp mixer.” Jenny said.
“Well there is only thing to do besides enjoying our afternoon off.”
The others knew what I was talking about. We raised our glasses.
“Semper Fi.”

Decisions
Within the next few days Ziva and I were taken off our crutches and put in braces. We still couldn’t move as fast as the others could, but we were getting back to normal as fast as we could. I tried to focus on the case we had been working on but all I was able to focus on was Ethan and whether or not I should move in with him. Both Jenny and Ziva had said that I should but there was something that kept me. I knew that Jenny could take care of herself, she would have a slew of agents to protect her; plus she would spend most of her time outside of the office at Jethro’s.
I was worried because Jenny was still sick. I kept thinking that her illness was going to take her away from me. But I had to realize that Jenny could take care of herself. After all Jenny did take care of me and herself while dad was at work when we were younger. Jethro wasn’t about to risk losing Jenny a second time and neither was Ziva.
So with that I decided to risk it all and move in with Ethan. A few hours later I was officially moved in at Ethan’s. At first it was hard, but it got easier as the hours went on. Ethan unpacked my stuff for me as I sat back with my knee propped up. I could see the smile play across Ethan’s face as he thought of a way to mark our first night living together.
“Get your mind out of the bedroom, Ethan.”
Meanwhile Jenny had called Jethro to her office for a quick discussion.
“Davenport called me this afternoon.”
“Yeah.”
“He wanted to know how your case is going.”
Jethro didn’t say a word.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Paris.”
“Get your mind out of the bedroom, Jethro.”
Jethro just smirked as he remembered the first time Jenny had said that to him four years prior. Memories had been flooding back for both Jenny and Jethro since Jenny’s return. Jenny was bound and determined to make her second chance with Jethro better than the last. Meanwhile at the studio apartment Ethan still had the same thought on his mind from before.
“Jay, you want to go slip into something a little more comfortable?” Ethan asked as her pulled out some lingerie of mine from one of the boxes.
“You are still on that?”
“You’re avoiding the question.”
“So what if I am.” I said as I got up, took the lingerie from Ethan and sauntered off to the bedroom after kissing him like Ziva had kissed Tony when they were undercover as married assassins.
“You are such a tease.”
“I learned from the best.” I said as a devious yet playful look crossed my face.
I could tell that Ethan was a bit concerned about me being on my feet, which drove me crazy.
“What’s on your mind beautiful?”
“You of course.” I said as came back into the room sans lingerie and in my pajamas.
Ethan didn’t say a word, instead he swept me off of my feet and carried me back into the bedroom. To me it seemed like all Ethan and I did was sleep together.
“Want this?” Ethan asked holding up the lingerie once he let me down on the bed.
“What do you think?”
“I’ll take that as a no.”
“Good answer. What are you waiting for? Kiss me already.”
Ethan did as he was told and I was instantly sent into a tail-spin. At first Ethan was being careful. He acted as if I was china doll that would break the minute he touched me. With the look on my face Ethan quickly backed off.
“What did I do? Did I hurt you?”
“No.”
“Then what did I do to piss you off?”
“The same thing everyone else has been doing since I was shot.”
“I didn’t want you to overexert yourself.”
“I get that Ethan and I appreciate everything that you have done. But I’m not a breakable china doll that you have to handle with care.”
“So what do you want me to do then?”
“You know damn well what I want you to do.”
With that Ethan and I were finally on the same page. I had later found out as Ethan slept that Jenny and Jethro had spent the night together in her office. Ducky was in an awkward position when he found Jethro and Jenny on the couch in her office. Jethro had turn sideways during the night which allowed Jenny to lay her head on his chest. Jethro’s arm was around Jenny, he was keeping her close to him as much as he could.
“Ah to be young and in love.” Ducky said as he placed the final autopsy report on Jenny’s desk and left.
As the door closed Jenny woke up. Within minutes Cynthia had buzzed Jenny.
“Yes Cynthia.” Jenny said as she sat down at her desk and buzzed Cynthia back.
“SECNAV is here to see you, ma’am. Do you want me to send him in?”
Jenny panicked for a minute before she answered.
“Give me twenty minutes Cynthia.” Jenny said as she hung up and quickly made her way over to the couch where Jethro still was.
“Jethro wake up, Davenport is here.”
Jethro playfully swatted her, not wanting to wake up. Jenny let out a muffled laugh before she attempted to wake Jethro up again. She knew from the past that Jethro wasn’t the easiest person to wake up.
“Agent Gibbs!!!!” Jenny said.
With that Jethro woke up.
“What did you say Jen?”
“Davenport is here. It has to look like we didn’t spend the night.”
Jethro could sense the urgency in Jenny voice. He also knew that it wouldn’t be good if SECNAV found out that he and Jenny were more than just co-workers. It was one thing for the team to know, it was quite another for SECNAV to know.
Within minutes Jenny was behind her desk as Jethro sat down at the table he sat at three years prior when my sister was avenging our dad’s death. Jenny called Cynthia and told her that it was okay for SECNAV to come in. Jethro could see a mixture fear and panic in Jenny’s green eyes before Davenport joined them.
“Relax Jen.”
“Director Shepard, Agent Gibbs.”
Instantly the fear and panic left Jenny’s eyes as Davenport entered the room.
“Hello sir.” Jenny said as she walked over to greet Davenport.
Both Jethro and I admired how calm Jenny could be in any given situation. As Davenport took a seat Jethro took note of the look that Jenny gave him. The look on Jenny’s face told him everything she wanted to tell him without uttering a word. After the meeting with SECNAV was over Jethro intend to make sure that his relationship with Jenny stayed between them and his team.
