Hi peeps,

Thank you so much for your reviews – they are warming my happy heart.

So a little short chappy but I need you to stay on your toes.

Enjoy.

Gibbs hung up and leaned over to Jenny, cupped her face in his hands and ran a thumb slowly over her cheekbone and received an ever broader smile than he already was getting. "I can't wait for the next 4 weeks to fly by!"

"Me neither." Jenny closed the small gap that was between them and kissed him.

Three weeks later Jenny was feeling miserable, not an hour went by where she didn't feel nauseous and tired, her appetite had gone down the drain and the heavy feeling she had in her lower belly gave her the suspicion and hope that she indeed was pregnant. Gibbs was almost annoying to live with at the moment; she could practically not do anything without him hovering over her. And this morning wasn't any different.

"Jenny do you need anything?" he softly asked from the bedroom door.

"Nothing besides a few minutes thank you Jethro." She tried to sound thankful but she was too nauseated to give it a hundred percent. This resulted in Gibbs sitting on her side of the bed in a flash.

"What's wrong Jen?" he ran his hand smoothly up and down her leg.

"Jethro please stop, I'm a big girl I can take care of myself you know. I feel sick to my stomach every morning and you ask the same question every morning, I can carry my briefcase with no trouble or without it causes problems for the baby, and I know that you know this to. Me stretching to reach something in the top cupboard doesn't harm me or the baby, and the ten thousand other things you keep doing for me."

"Jenny I just need you to stay safe and we need this baby, if you felt I was being too much why didn't you say anything then? He pulled her up slowly to a sitting position.

"Because I know you are just being sincere and you do this because you want to make sure that everything goes smoothly, but I can't be wrapped up in bobble wrap for the next 7 months ok. I love you and I love all that you do for me, don't get me wrong, but it is just a little too much worry ok!" Gibbs nodded and smiled at Jenny when she continued "Just hold my hair back when I throw up, and when my feet hurt offer me a massage once in a while and please keep Tony from eating burritos for lunch or any other meal at the office!"

"Consider it done!" He kissed her slowly and pushed her softly down on the bed while enjoying the closeness of their bodies, he rested a hand over her abdomen and rub a finger softly back and forth over her soft skin.

Jenny felt the week pass faster after Gibbs had lain of all the worry, and she felt more liberated to do her work just as she use to after he wasn't like her shadow anymore. And sooner than they had expected they were sitting in the waiting area at the doctor's office doing what all the others were to, waiting.

"Jenny Shepard!" the nurse called and they both got up, Gibbs held onto Jenny's hand as they walked into the doctor's office.

"Jenny, Jethro – come on inside, I've already prepped the table for you, so if you will just go behind the screen, Jenny and take of you skirt and underwear I've left a small sheet behind there for you and then just hop up, we are at an very early stage of pregnancy and to get the best picture possible we have to do an internal ultrasound, and Jethro that chair over there is for you." Jenny went behind the screen and did as she was told and hurried out and up on the table. She looked over at Gibbs and smiled, he reached for her hand and she immediately grabbed hold of his. The doctor interrupted them softly by a small cough "Are you ready for this?"

"We have been for an entire week now doc so…" Gibbs trailed of.

"Ok let see what we have!" While he got the last bit ready he asked a few questions and Jenny answered them like it was an interrogation, short and précis, and nodded stiffly when the doctor showed her he was ready to insert the ultrasound probe, Gibbs looked at Jenny as she looked to the ceiling, he could see a small tear was sitting in the corner of her eye, ready to fall, so he leaned over and whispered.

"I just know the baby is doing fine Jen, relax!" She squeezed his hand and smiled, again the doctor interrupted.

"What do we have here?" Gibbs noticed the doctor moved the probe a little and the look on his face was again unreadable.

"What is it?" Both Jenny and Gibbs asked.

"Well it looks like you did a - good job!" he answered and moved the screen so the couple could see.

"You don't sound happy doctor?" Jenny got nervous

"Triplets!" The doctor announced as he pointed out the three little beans on the screen.

"Oh my God! Jenny mouthed, Gibbs looked at the screen in shock.

"Uhm this is going to sound stupid doc, but is this good or bad?" Jethro asked once he got his voice back.

The doctor drew a short breath "If it had been under any other circumstances I would tell you that this would be a risky pregnancy, and that you would be monitored closely. But in your case I have to say that this will be impossible, and I will have to look at the ultrasound more closely next time where I can do it externally, because as happy I am to tell you that you are pregnant I am sorry that I also have to tell you that you are going to have to choose – you can only continue a pregnancy with one of them."

aps.

ttle short chappy but I need you to stay on your toes.

I'll leave you hanging here for a little while – not to long I promise. Leave me a little word.
