It was coming up on seventeen years of marriage for Jenny and Jethro. Seventeen years together as husband and wife with four kids that remained to this day their constant reminder of their love was just how Jenny had pictured her life to be. What more could she ask for, she was the one woman that was able to tame the famous Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Make that the second woman to tame Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Much like her actual predecessor; Shannon, Jenny Shepard – Gibbs gave Jethro a daughter, in fact she gave him four at once. Like Shannon, Jenny also understood that Gibbs was a creature of habit.
Like any other day; things at the Gibbs household started out as the typical normal for the family. Noemi came over early to make breakfast for them. The girls were the first ones down once they smelled Noemi’s traditional Colombian cooking. Noemi knew where the Sẽnor and Sẽnora of the household were currently at. As usual Noemi found it quite entertaining to see Sẽnoritas Delilah, Arabella, Emiliana and Madison be so much like their parents. The girls had been only semi-awake as they took to their chairs that sat around the center island counter and waited for their coffee.
“Sẽnoritas, I am making breakfast for all of you. Are your parents still in bed?” Noemi asked as she set four cups of coffee in front of the girls.
“Yeah they’re still in bed, Noemi; which isn’t surprising.” Delilah answered.
“They should wake up soon; Aunt Jay said she was stopping by to go for a run with them this morning.”
With that Jaylyn came in.
Hola Sẽnora Shepard, would you like some coffee while you wait for your sister and brother-in-law?
“Yes I would like a cup.”
Soon after that Jenny and Jethro came downstairs. Everyone in the kitchen could see how mesmerized Jethro was by Jenny. It was quite entertaining for Jaylyn and Noemi to watch Jethro let Jenny get as close to him as humanly possible while they stood at the bottom of the stairs as she began to sway her hips from side to side with him directly behind her. The girls on the other hand had found their parents’ attempt at dancing like Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing absolutely nauseating.
“Would you two please get a room, we haven’t even had breakfast yet.” Emiliana asked.
“Yeah please do, cause seeing you two dance like that just ain’t right; even at this hour.” Madison said.
“We did get a room.” Jethro answered his daughters.
“That’s how we got the four of you, seventeen years ago.” Jenny continued.
Jaylyn laughed.
“She has a point there girls. If they go back upstairs now, you guys might up end up another sister or worse a brother.” Jaylyn said getting in on the teasing of her nieces.
“Will you guys just go for your run and let us eat Noemi’s breakfast in peace.” Arabella pleaded.
The Gibbs girls definitely got their attitudes from Jenny, that was a Shepard trait without a doubt. Before the trio left the house and the girls in the care of Noemi, Jenny leaned in to passionately kiss Jethro. As Jethro deepened the kiss they could make out their daughters fake gagging sound effects. Once outside Jaylyn had gone a bit away from where Jenny and Jethro stood to let them have a moment to themselves while she stretched.
“Jen, do me a favor and run with your sister; you haven’t gotten to spend much time with her as of late.”
“Well between being Director, a mother of four and your wife; that doesn’t exactly leave me time to spend with her.”
“Just run with her.” Jethro said as he gave Jenny the stare.
“Jethro, we’re not on the job and I am not your junior agent anymore. These make me immune to the stare.” Jenny said as she flashed her engagement ring and wedding band as she went in for another kiss.
“You two done making out yet? We only have a short amount of time before we have to switch lives.” Jaylyn said.
No one at NCIS knew that Jenny and Jethro were married, nor did they know that they had teenage daughters. Only Jaylyn, Jack, Franks, Leyla and Amira knew of Jenny and Jethro’s secret life. But being the chosen five that knew that there was two sets of “Gibblets” only tended to confuse things. It was also at times hard to keep the NCIS “Gibblets” separate from the actual “Gibblets”.
Jenny fulfilled her husband’s wish and ran with her sister as Jethro brought up the rear. It was quite obvious that Jethro had decided to run behind his wife and sister – in -law so that he could watch Jenny’s tight form from behind.
“He has a one track mind.”
“You ain’t much better Jen. The girls nearly lost their lunch at breakfast with the way you dancing. There wasn’t much room between you and Jethro. Kind of surprised you two didn’t rip each others' clothes off right in front of us.”
“We do restrain ourselves, Jay. It’s not sex twenty-four/seven between us.”
“I know that; I’m with the two of you for most of the day”
“Those eighteen hours are the hardest.”
“I bet they are. You do realize at some point you and Jethro are gonna have to tell the team about the girls. And your marriage.”
“DiNozzo would be relentless the second he finds out that Jethro and I are married, plus we’d run the chance of DiNozzo trying to shack up one of them. There is no way in hell I am going to let that happen; hell would have to freeze over before we do that. ”
“Jen, you know as well as I do that Tony values his life too much to even attempt to date one of them when he knows their father will kill him.”
Jenny laughed a bit as she remembered the time when Tony, Ziva and McGee had been caught playing with the Morph Pro software in the squad room just after they “experimented” to see what Jenny and Jethro’s kids would look like a few years back.
“What’s so funny? Jethro asked as he joined them.
“Just remembering when you busted your team for trying to see what our daughters would look like with the Morph Pro software on the Sullivan case.”
“Why?”
“Jay thinks it’s time we tell your team about our marriage and the girls.”
“What are you crazy?” Jethro asked as we turned the corner.
“Don’t you think that hiding your marriage and daughters from the people you consider as your extended family for the past seventeen years is a bit absurd? Seriously, you guys didn't even tell Ducky or Ziva and they are your closest friends besides Franks.”
“Not really.” Jethro and Jenny replied in unison.
“Come on guys, if anything once the rest of the team knows the better off things will be. The girls will have more people who will love, care and protect them besides their Aunt, Grandfather and Godfather. And you guys would be able to choose a Godmother for them after all these years.”
