A/N: Thank you to everyone that reviewed and suggested names and genders for me! I had so many good suggestions- I wish I could have used them all! We're at the end of this story, and I have to say I'm a little sad to see it go. I don't think I'll do a sequel; I like the feeling of family in it, and I like the open ended-ness. Thank you to everyone that has read and reviewed this story in its entirety- I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading, as I loved writing it! :)

Disclaimer: I own only my own characters- Sydney, Bianca, Olivia, Bella, Resa, and the baby…

Jethro's eyes widened as Jenny's words sank in, and she bit back a smile.

"Jen…how long?" he asked softly, stroking her hair.

"They're about twenty minutes apart now, and I've been feeling them all morning. We should leave soon; I don't want my water to break in front of the girls." Jenny answered, sitting up slowly. Jethro helped her stand, rubbing at the tense muscles in her lower back. "Go tell Jackson; I'm going to say goodbye to Bella and Resa."

Jethro nodded, kissing her temple before kneeling by his dad, his knees groaning.

"Dad, Jen and I have gotta go to the hospital. Can you watch the girls?" Jethro asked, looking at Jackson.

"Sure son, I can watch the girls. Is Jen okay?" Jackson asked, concern in his blue eyes, so similar to his son's.

"Yeah, but her contractions are gettin' closer, and she doesn't want her water to break in front of the girls." Jethro answered, watching his dad's face fill with understanding.

"Well, this is an eventful Christmas son." Jackson said, breaking out into a grin. He stood, giving Jethro a hug. "Go on, go. Call me when things are all settled, alright?"

"Will do Dad." Jethro said, smiling. He knelt near Bella and Resa, kissing them each on the head. "Hey girls, did Mommy tell you where we're going?"

"She said you're going to the hospital Daddy. You're going to get the baby." Bella said, her blue eyes wide.

"That's right." Jethro said, stroking Resa's soft curls. "Mommy and I are going to get your little brother or sister."

"Will it take long?" Resa asked, looking up at him curiously. Jethro looked up at Jen, who shook her head slightly at him, wincing.

"Probably not, but you two are going to stay with Grandpa Jack while we're gone, okay? And Grandpa Ducky said he might come over again later, and I'm sure you could call one of your aunts or uncles to come over, they'd love to see you again." Jethro said, kissing their foreheads. "We'll see you later, okay Bella, Resa?"

"Okay, bye Daddy." the two girls said, hugging his legs when he stood.

"We love you girls." Jenny said, smiling at the girls, who beamed back.

"We love you too Mommy and Daddy!" they said, waving as their parents left. Jethro rubbed Jenny's back as they walked, opening her car door for her and helping her in before going over to the driver's side. He drove to the hospital swiftly, letting Jenny squeeze his hand with the contractions. He pulled into the parking lot, helping Jenny out and walking her to the nurses' station. She was placed in a room, and Jethro stepped outside to make the calls.

He called Jackson first, letting him know that everything was okay and telling him he'd call after the baby was born so that he could bring the girls. Then, he called Sydney, who hung up as soon as he'd said the word 'labor', which he took as a sign that she was on her way. He then called Ducky, who congratulated him, then said he would be there in a few hours, after visiting with his mother. Abby was next, and she nearly burst his eardrums with her squeal. Then came Ziva, who said she would be there soon, and Jethro warned her not to breaking any traffic laws. Last were Tony and Olivia, who said that they were on their way to see Bella and Resa, who had called them. They said that they would ride in with Bella, Resa, and Jackson after the baby was born.

When the calls were finished, he went back into Jenny's room, where she'd been hooked up to the proper monitors and was now in the bed, reading a book to keep her mind of the pain. She glanced up when he walked in, sending him a tight smile, and he knew she was hurting.

He walked over to her, kissing the top of her head and slipping his hand into hers. She squeezed his fingers, her eyes closing as she leaned her head into his. Her book fell, abandoned, as she let out a slight whimper. He kissed her ear, whispering until the contraction stopped. Jenny relaxed a little, loosening her grip on him.

"Hey Jen, you wanna try names again?" Jethro asked, set on distracting her. Jenny nodded, willing to do anything to keep her mind off the pain.

"Start with boy or girl?" she asked, squeezing his fingers lightly when a shorter contraction took over.

"Girl." he said, giving her a cup of water, which she drank quickly.

"We liked Charlotte when we were pregnant with Resa." she said, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.

"But Jen, you can't shorten that." Jethro reminded her, and she nodded.

"Well technically you can shorten it to Charlie, but you don't like that." she said, opening her eyes. "What about Josephine?"

"And call her Josie? That could work." Jethro said, squeezing her hand. "I like Roxanne."

"Josephine Roxanne." Jenny said, trying it out. "I like it."

"Boys now." Jethro said, and Jenny nodded.

"What about Caine?" Jenny asked, looking at him. "It means 'son of the fighter'."

"I'm assuming I'm the fighter?" he said with a smirk, kissing her fingertips.

"Yes. Because you fought for me." she said softly, touching their joined fingers to his face. "You didn't give up."

"Never on you." he said, leaning up and kissing her gently. "It's a possibility."

"I like Jacob, too." she said. "But more for a middle name then a first."

"Jacob's a good name. I had a cousin named Jacob. He joined the Marines too. He was killed in Panama" Jethro said, nodding, the power of his emotion filling his throat. Jenny squeezed his fingers, kissing his palm gently. "What about Levy?"

"Levy…Levy Jacob. I really like it Jethro." Jenny said, smiling. "What's it mean?"

"Joined." Jethro said simply, making Jenny squeeze his fingers.

"It's beautiful, Jethro." she said, wincing when another contraction started. Jethro squeezed her hand, and she took a deep breath, opening her eyes. "Levy Jacob."

"Jen…how do you feel about a double middle name?" Jethro asked. She looked at him curiously, tilting her head.

"I guess it depends on the names." she said, shrugging. "Did you have another name in mind?"

"Jasper." he said, and Jenny felt her breathing stop, shock filling her.

"Jethro…"

"Jen, he was the most important thing in the world to you. He was your whole world. That's something I want our son to carry on, should we have one." Jethro said, wanting to express the importance of this to him to her. "Levy Jasper Jacob Gibbs."

"Jethro…Jethro it's beautiful." Jenny said, swallowing hard, wiping at a stray tear. "Levy Jasper Jacob Gibbs."

"The perfect name." Jethro said, sending her a smile.

"Thank you." she said, pulling him down so that she could kiss him. "I can't wait to meet them."

"Only a few hours left, then they'll be here Jen."

Hours later, the newest member of the Gibbs family arrived. Jethro cut the cord and the squealing baby was placed on Jenny's chest.

"Jethro…thank you." she said, stroking the baby's head. "Thank you so much."

"Jen, thank you." he said, kissing her forehead and looking down at the infant.

"Go call everyone, have them come and visit. I want to see Bella and Resa." Jenny said, watching as they took the baby away to be cleaned and weighed and measured. "But first can you…"

"Of course Jen." Jethro said, kissing her on the forehead before following the doctors.

About an hour and a half later, the baby was back in Jenny's arms and Jethro was by her side, simply watching them. They both looked up when there was a knock on the door, and Jackson stuck his head in, grinning when he saw them.

"Is it okay if I bring Bella and Resa in?" he asked, his blue eyes alight with happiness.

"Bring them on in Dad." Jethro said, his voice soft so he didn't wake the baby. Jackson walked in, Bella and Resa each holding one of his hands. Bella was winding one of her crimson curls around her pointer finger, and Resa had her thumb in her mouth. "Bella, Resa, Mommy and I have someone we want you to meet."

Jenny shifted slightly so that she could move the white knit blanket away from the baby's tiny face. Jethro lifted Bella then Resa onto the bed so that they could see, and Jenny smiled at them.

"Girls, this is your little brother, Levy Jasper Jacob Gibbs." she said, and both little girls smiled.

"He's so tiny Mommy." Bella said, and she tentatively touched his nose. "He's soft."

"He'll only be little for a little while." Jenny said, reaching over to squeeze Resa's hand. The little girl had remained very quiet since entering the room, and Jenny knew it would be tough on the little girl. She was losing her spot as the baby of the family. "Resa, do you want to hold him?"

"Can I Mommy?" she asked quietly, her big green eyes wide.

"Of course sweetheart." Jenny said. "Just come up and sit next to me."

Jethro helped Resa get settled next to Jenny, who carefully placed Levy in the little girl's arms. She wrapped an arm around each of her daughters, her fingers stroking Levy's dark auburn hair. The little boy yawned, stretching his arms out of his blanket, blinking his eyes open. He looked up at all of them curiously, his big blue eyes heavy with sleep. He murmured sleepily, twisting slightly in his big sister's arms, closing his eyes again and burying his face in his blanket. Resa giggled, the musical laugh filling the hospital room.

"I like him." she stated, looking up at her parents. Jenny and Jethro laughed, and Jackson let out a snort.

"Well I'm glad. Please remember that in five years when he's pulling your hair and messing with your toys." Jenny said, kissing Resa's hair. Levy stirred again, letting out a tiny cry, and Jenny carefully took the little boy out of her daughter's arms, settling him against her chest. The little boy nudged at her chest, and she sent a pointed look to Jethro, who nodded.

"Girls, how about Grandpa Jack takes you down to the cafeteria to get some ice cream?" Jethro said, and both girls nodded eagerly. Jethro pulled the girls off of the bed, setting them on the ground. Jackson took their hands and led them out of the room, and Jenny set herself to feed Levy. Jethro stepped out of the room to call everyone with the good news, only to find that they were all in the waiting room. Sydney leapt up, striding over to him.

"So, tell me!" she demanded, hands on her hips.

"Levy Jasper Jacob Gibbs." Jethro said, practically bursting with pride. "8 pounds, 4 ounces, nineteen inches long, auburn hair, blue eyes. He's perfect."

"Oh, congratulations Jethro." she said, hugging him tightly, which he returned. "How's Jen? Can we see them?"

"She's feeding him now, but give her about ten minutes." Jethro said, as everyone else started to walk over.

"Hey boss, how's the baby?" Tony asked, one arm around Olivia, holding her close.

"He's just fine, Tony. Levy Jasper Jacob Gibbs is perfect." Jethro answered, and everyone broke out into a smile.

"Congratulations Jethro." Ducky said, coming forward to give his friend a hug.

"Thanks Duck."

"When can we see him Gibbs?" Abby said, bouncing forward to give Jethro a hug.

"In a minute; Jen's feeding him." Jethro said, glancing over his shoulder. "Let me go check on her."

Jethro walked back into the room, where Jenny was burping Levy.

"Jen, can I bring everybody in?" he asked softly, and she nodded and smiled.

"He's awake, so everyone can see his eyes. He looks just like his daddy." Jenny said, looking up Jethro when he walked over to her and kissed first her forehead, then his son's. "Bring them in sweetheart. I'm sure they're bursting with excitement."

"You have no idea." Jethro murmured, kissing her gently. She let out a quiet giggle, rubbing Levy's back. Walking back out of the room, Jethro waved everyone over, and they eagerly headed in their direction.

Sydney was first, clutching Tim's hand, who held Bianca. She smiled when she saw the baby in Jenny's arms, letting go of her husband's hand and walking to her best friend's side.

"Jen he's gorgeous." she said quietly, stroking the baby's dark hair.

"Syd, will you be his godmother?" Jenny asked, offering her the baby to hold. Sydney carefully took the baby, cradling him in her arms.

"Of course I will, Jen." Sydney said, smiling as she met her friend's gaze. Jenny looked at Tony, smiling.

"And Tony, would you be his godfather?" she asked, watching as the younger man's face lit up, just like it had when they'd asked him to be the girls' godfather.

"Of course Jenny, I'd be honored." he said, pulling Olivia closer, kissing the top of her head. She nestled into his side, sleepily tucking her head under his chin. Everyone held the baby, astounded by the amount of hair he had and how big his blue eyes were. Levy was back in Jenny's arms, about to fall asleep, when Bella walked back in with Jackson, Resa asleep in her grandfather's arms, smiling when she saw her family.

"Hi Mommy and Daddy." Bella said, blinking a little sleepily. "How's Levy?"

"He's just about to fall asleep. You look like you are too." Jenny said. "Do you want to come up and snuggle with me?"

"Yes please Mommy." Bella said, putting her arms up for Jethro to take hold of. He picked her up, setting her on the bed next to Jenny. Jackson handed Resa to Jethro, who carefully settled her in his arms, and she shifted slightly, mumbling sleepily. Jackson picked Levy up, cradling his grandson.

"He's beautiful Jenny. He looks just like Leroy did when he was born." he said, looking up with the hint of tears in his eyes. Jenny smiled, stroking Bella's red curls as the little girl curled into her side.

"He's perfect." Jenny said, and everyone nodded. Their family was growing, and while things wouldn't always be this easy, they had each other to lean on. Things were how they should have been.

Up in the sky, Fate smiled.

-The End-
