I Just Wanna Be Mad For Awhile

            Jenny waited until the squad room was clear before she went down. Things were still ice cold between her and Jethro. The renewal was still off and would remain that way until things cleared up between them. Jethro and the team had left the building to go to a crime scene. Once Jenny learned that the coast was clear she left her office and went down to Jethro’s desk. Before she left her office she took off her rings and held on to them until she sat down behind Jethro’s desk. In the only empty spot at the center of Jethro’s desk, Jenny grabbed a pen and a post-it note before she set her rings down.
I just wanna be mad for awhile.
JS
            Jenny left the note where Jethro could see it and left her rings just below her JS. Whenever she got this pissed off at Jethro she’d drop the G when she signed her initial and reverted back to just the JS. She knew that she’d likely get a call from Jethro the minute he saw what she had left for him or he’d come right up to her office and the argument would happen again. Neither of them saw the others point when it came to the subject that caused their fight. In Jenny’s honest opinion she’d much rather be speaking to Jethro and giving him the best birthday just as he had given her instead of fighting with him.
            Out in the field, Jethro couldn’t focus. He was still fuming from his fight with Jenny. Which told the others to steer clear.
            Tony, Ziva, McGee and Jaylyn were pretty close to where Ducky and Palmer were looking into the dead sailor that they were able to talk to Ducky without Jethro knowing.
            “We’ve got to do something about this, Ducky.” Tony said.
            “I know, but it is better to just let the two of them work out their differences. Especially when it comes to something like this.”
            “Tony, Ducky is right. It’s best to leave them alone when they are in this bad of an argument. With their tempers it gets volatile.” Jaylyn said.
            “Besides you should know after all these years that the two of them end up resolving whatever issue they are having and everything is back to normal for all of us.” Ziva said.
            “Give it time.”
            They all knew that they were in uncharted waters and they all hoped it would be over soon. Jethro was unbearable in the state he was in and Jenny wasn’t much better.
            Soon after every possible bit of evidence was collected and the body was in the back of the M.E. van; everyone returned back to the agency. That was when the real show began. Jethro instructed his team on what he wanted done, gave them their deadlines as he took to his seat. The fireworks shortly ensued once Jethro discovered what was on his desk.
            Jethro picked up Jenny’s rings after reading the note she had left him and slammed his free hand on his desk. Jaylyn, Ziva, McGee and Tony all jumped upon hearing Jethro slam his desk.
            “Damn her.” Jethro said as he left the squad room.
            “What just happened?” McGee asked.
            “Jen happened.” Jaylyn answered as she walked over to Jethro’s desk.
            “What did she do now?” Tony inquired.
            “Just what we expected her to do.” Ziva answered once she joined Jaylyn.
            “Okay you guys really need to stop that.” Tony said slightly annoyed.
            “Stop what?”
            “Stop pulling the We’ve known Jenny and Jethro longer than you two card.”
            As Jaylyn and Ziva smoothed things out in the squad room and read the note that Jenny had left; Jethro was inches away from letting loose on his wife.
            “Sir, the Director wishes not to be disturbed.” Cynthia said hoping she wasn’t going to get her head chopped off by Jethro.
            “Well too damn bad.” Jethro said as he continued on.
            Once inside Jenny’s office, Jethro slammed her office door shut so that they weren’t overheard.
            “I see we’re back to slamming doors.” Jenny said as she was already geared up to go another round with him.
            “What do you expect when you leave these waiting for me?”
            “What I expect is for you to be understanding.”
            “So we’re back to our argument from before.” Jethro shouted.
            “We wouldn’t be if you would have just let it go.”
            “How could you expect me let alone any man let news like that just go? Dammit Jen, you got your damn tubes tied.”
            “Yeah I know that Jethro, I was there when the doctor did the surgery.”
            “I want more kids, you knew that.”
            “After having four at once I didn’t want have anymore, sorry that interfered with your plan for a big family.”
            “You should have asked me first before you went through with the surgery.”
            “No, it’s my body; Jethro. And I wasn’t going to get pregnant again while being a mom to four newborn daughters and be an agent.”
            “We could have waited till the girls were older and you were ready to have more kids, Jen; you know that.”
            The arguing continued on for a while before things were resolved. Both Jenny and Jethro relieved that they could return to celebrating Jethro’s birthday without there being anymore problems between them.
            “So Mr. Gibbs, what do you want for your birthday?”
            “What I want has to wait until tonight.”
            “That’s all you ever want, whether it’s your birthday or not.”
            “Well I have a gorgeous wife; do you blame me for wanting to jump into bed with her all the time?” Jethro said as he wrapped his arms around Jenny’s waist and kissed her.
            “I think Abby has a party planned for us as her present to us for our birthdays.” Jenny said after the kiss.
            “That’s Abby for you.”
            “She’s likely going to pull us to it when we’re leaving for the day.”
            Later on that day exactly what Jenny had predicted in her office about Abby shanghaiing them.
            “Happy Birthday!!!” everyone in the conference room shouted once the trio got into the room.
            The party went on for an hour or so before Jenny and Jethro were able to depart without Abby getting too bummed. They knew that she knew that they wanted to get home to their girls as well as getting there to celebrate on their own.
            It wasn’t long before they arrived home. The girls wished Jethro a happy birthday and revealed to their parents their gift for the both of them. They had made their parents a three course dinner, set two candle lit places at the dining room table for them. Once the reveal had happened the girls went up to their rooms to work on the remainder of their homework before they fell asleep.
            The dinner was lovely and perfect in every possible way. Jenny and Jethro talked about everything. The renewal was back on by the time dinner had ended. Jenny and Jethro then did the dishes together. Both of them had gotten so use to having Noemi around that doing the dinner dishes was a bit odd for them since the last time either of them washed a dish was back in Paris before the girls were even glint in Jenny’s eyes. Of course doing the dishes together led to a little bout of fun.
            Jenny had changed into a white t-shirt and a pair of her hip hugging jeans when they had gotten home. Now during the kitchen water fight between the two of them, she kind regretted the wardrobe choice. Jethro had decided to pull the hand sprayer from its resting place on the sink and soaked Jenny with it. Needless to say Jethro went from a playful husband to a kid in a candy store for first time in less than five minutes once he took in the sight of Jenny in wet white t-shirt.
            Jenny didn’t want to fight him on this since it was his birthday so no matter how she disliked be soaked and her white shirt exposing everything, she let it all go.
            “Happy Birthday, Jethro.” Jenny said as she kissed him and rubbed herself from in between his legs and up.
            “Well if that’s what you wanted all you had to do was say so.”
            Jethro than picked her up and carried her up. He of course wasted no time when it came to removing her wet clothes and his. Nothing was going to keep him from getting the one thing he had been wanting all day.
            “Happy Birthday Jethro.” Jenny said once they had made love.
            Jethro had been quite pleased. The make –up / birthday sex was the best sex ever of course the added bonus of his wife’s wet t-shirt fiasco helped a bit too.
            Before long Jenny had worn herself out and fell asleep on Jethro’s chest. Quickly before sleep overtook him, Jenny sent out a massive text message telling everyone who knew the renewal was off that it was back on again. He also told them when and where it would be.
            Everything was now perfect. Jethro fell asleep just moments after the girls had in their rooms. The girls just hoped for a quite night at home now. And they got just that.
