The honeymoon aspect of Jenny and Jethro’s anniversary was clearly over bright and early a few days after they had gotten back from Stillwater. Delilah and her sister woke up to the sound of their parents arguing about God knows what. As the girls were getting ready for their last day of school before spring break began, they wondered what their parents were arguing over. They could tell that things between their Mom and Dad the night before was anything but pleasant. The girls had gotten a heads up from their aunt before she had left the agency the night before, telling them to steer clear and to warn Noemi. Hurricane Jenny and Hurricane Jethro were heading their way as Jaylyn had put in it the mass text message. Delilah, Emiliana, Arabella and Madison had learned from an early age that it was never a pretty sight when their parents fought.
“I can’t believe you’re acting this way over something as ridiculous as me doing what I have to get the funding we need.” Jenny said as her temper flared.
“And I can’t see why you can’t understand why I loathe those politician you spend time ass kissing. You going up to the hill each day showing a little bit here and a little bit there just to get those men to do your bidding, is sickening.” Jethro said as his cobalt blue deepened their color.
The girls knew that there were times when their mom’s high society, being raised with money tended to clash with their dad’s work for what you want, country living upbringing. Neither one completely understood what it was like to grow up like the other did. But somehow with all of that, the girls knew that their parents made their differences work.
“You don’t have to use your sex appeal to get the agency funding.”
“And you don’t have to act like my father, Jethro. So stop acting like him and start acting like the man I married.” Jenny said infuriated as ever while her emerald greens turned the intervening shades of green from her color to a deep green color.
The girls were quite pleased when they left for school after breakfast. They just hoped that things between their parents would cool down some before they were all back under one roof later on. Even at the office thing were still icy between Jenny and Jethro. Jenny took the elevator up from the lobby to her office while Jethro took to the stairs. And as usual the women on the team noticed that things were still off between their fearless leaders.
The minute Tony noticed that Ziva, Jaylyn and Abby were trying to reconcile things between their boss and their agency boss; he couldn’t help but think that they may be doing more harm than good in this particular instance. On the other hand Jaylyn, Ziva and Abby didn’t see it as interfering; they just wanted the peace to return. So the trio divided to take on their stubborn friends. Jaylyn and Ziva went to talk to Jethro as Abby went up to visit Jenny in hopes to talk some sense into her. About an hour or so later the trio had rejoined the boys back in the squad room and the quintet then gazed up to the catwalk by MTAC to see Jenny and Jethro interlocked in a kiss that made the five of them wish that they had what Jenny and Jethro had. Shortly after the kiss, Jaylyn text messaged her eldest niece to tell her that things were back to normal and to relay the message to her sisters when she saw them.
Once things were calm again, Jenny and Jethro began planning their vow renewal as Jethro planned a surprise birthday party for Jenny and they both planned a combination eighteenth birthday and graduation party for the girls. Meanwhile Abby was doing a bit of planning of her own as she with a bit of help from McGee and Ziva, planned a surprise pre-vow renewal party for Jenny and Jethro. Jethro had remained at Jenny’s side for the remainder of the day following the catwalk kiss. As they sat in the same places they had when Jethro brought Jenny her favorite dinner one night during the Danforth case ten years prior. This time around though, Jethro had brought Jenny coffee instead of steak au’poivre.
Jethro sat back on the couch and watched Jenny as she looked over the various things that needed to be done for the renewal and the girls’ party. He loved how the sun came in her office window and warmed her skin. When Jenny had stepped over to her desk to grab her date book, the way the sun light had created an angelic around her. When he saw that passion in Jenny’s emeralds as she worked on the things that she had been, he could see how much she enjoyed being a mother and being his wife. And with one look from her, Jethro instantaneously lost all sense of everything.
At that point he wanted to lay his wife back on the conference table and have his way with her right then and there. To hell with the rest of the agency being in the building, after the fight they had all Jethro wanted was his wife to come out and play. Jenny knew exactly what was going on with Jethro. She knew that he wasn’t paying attention. She knew what he wanted to do, she wanted the same thing too; but her Director side was currently overruling her wife/lover side at the moment.
Jethro couldn’t take the torture anymore. They both knew that Jenny’s chosen attire for the work day, the same one she had worn the day she had been kidnapped with the buttons of the blouse she had worn underneath the vest and blazer undone a bit lower than she had the first time around. Secretly Jenny wanted to torture Jethro a bit longer even though she knew this whole thing was completely agonizing for him. It also wouldn’t be the first time they had sex within the walls of NCIS. And it definitely wouldn’t be the last.
“See something that you like?” Jenny asked.
“Quite a bit.”
“Gonna do something about it?”
“Thinking about it.”
“Thinking, why not just go through with it?” Jenny purred.
With the okay Jethro got up and locked Jenny’s office door. Jenny stood up seconds after Jethro and made her way over to the conference table to flip the switch under it that put her office in lock down. Once her office was in lock down Jenny leaned seductively against the table. Jethro slowly undid Jenny top as he kissed her neck all the way up to her ear.
An hour or so later after everything was said and done, the two of them were putting their clothes back on and fixing their appearances. Once they were both situated the make out session began but it was shortly interrupted when Jenny’s private line rang. It had been Cynthia calling to tell Jenny that Tony and McGee were leaving for their respective college reunions.
“Looks like I’ll be playing Agent and Director for the next few days.” Jenny said as they quickly resumed their prior activity.
“Ziva, Jaylyn and I can handle a few days on our own without DiNozzo and McGee.”
“This isn’t a debate, Jethro. You need to have a four person team of agents and since you can barely tolerate recruits, I’m the only option you have right now.”
“I don’t like it.”
“You don’t have to like, you just have to deal with it.”
Jethro knew it was going to be difficult having Jenny around as an agent. It was one thing to have his sister-in-law and his wife’s best friend being Jenny’s eyes and ears when she wasn’t self involving herself with his team. It was another to have his wife actually on his team like the old days.
“Now where were we?” Jenny purred into Jethro’s ear.
“Right about here.” Jethro said as his calloused hand engulfed Jenny’s face pulling her to him.
Their make out session went on for awhile before they were interrupted again by a knock on Jenny’s office door.
“Come on you two, it’s time to stop playing house at work for a while. It’s time for lunch.” Jaylyn said from the other side.
“Some times I could just smack her.” Jenny said a bit annoyed at her sister for interrupting.
“Jealous huh?” Jethro said while Jenny fixed herself.
Jenny gave Jethro a look that warned him to shut up if he knew what was best for him.
“Jenny, Gibbs come on.” Ziva said.
“She isn’t much better either.” Jenny said.
“Well we better get out there before they break down the door.”
Hours later Jenny and Jethro came home after work. They settled down in the living room after the girls went up for the night and Noemi left until the following morning. Both Jenny and Jethro had a glass of bourbon in hand as they relaxed in each others’ arms as they watched the fire in the fireplace flicker. They both knew that there was a good chance that their current state of alcohol and romantic firelight would lead to more. Neither knew they’d be able to resist the urge when it called. Eventually the call of reigniting their encounter from earlier had sparked again. Jenny let Jethro up so that he could put the fire out. While Jethro put the fire out, Jenny made sure their guns were locked up in the safe and poured the remainder of the bourbon from their glasses back into the decanter before she locked the decanter up. Once that was all said and done Jenny waited for Jethro to turn around.
“You have to get some practice in before Paris.” Jenny said with a look in her eyes that gave her true intent away.
“I don’t need practice.” Jethro argued knowing that if they argued a little bit that Jenny would be that much easier to take on in bed.
“Its been seventeen years, Jethro; just shut up and carry me up the stairs to our room.”
A few seconds later once they were in their room with the door closed and locked tight, it was Jethro turn to be pinned down. And just as Jethro knew what buttons to push with her, she knew what buttons to push with him.
