Choices, Decisions and Consequences

Chapter 1

Jenny Shepard didn't usually consider herself a jealous person. But she couldn't help it. She hated coming out of MTAC or her office and she would looked down from the catwalk she would see the man she loved being kissed by a women that wasn't her.

Gibbs and Hollis Mann had been dating for about six months not that he actually was very aware of it, to him it felt more like a couple of weeks. She would come to NCIS and have lunch with him every now and then and he would often come home and she would be there waiting for him. He thought it might actually work this time. Hollis was so different from the women he usually went for: she was blond when he usually preferred red-heads and she didn't have the feisty temper he would usually go for as well.

Jenny came out of MTAC and as usual she couldn't help but notice that Gibbs was sitting at his desk eating lunch with his girlfriend. She was so absorbed in thought she didn't notice Ziva come up behind her. "He will most likely dump her soon" Ziva said seeing that Jenny was upset.

Jenny Jumped a little at Ziva's presence "Oh really, how do you know" Jenny replied. There was no point in hiding her feeling for Gibbs from her best friend as she had told Ziva everything many years ago when they worked together and of course Jenny was very drunk when she told her.

"She's too how you say clingy" Ziva said as she walked with Jenny to her office.

"Cynthia can you take messages from all of my calls unless it's secnav or a real emergency" Jenny said to her faithful assistant before replying to Ziva. "Well I know Gibbs doesn't like them clingy, anyway you had better go back to work before Gibbs has a tantrum" Jenny said with a smile.

"Later Jen" Ziva said with a smile then left her friends office.

"Thanks for lunch Jethro, what time will you be home?" Hollis said to Gibbs while waiting for the elevator.

"It depends on how the case goes" Gibbs stated, then the elevator arrived and Hollis pulled him into a kiss. Hollis saw Jenny walk across the catwalk and knew she could keep her eyes off Jethro, so depend the kiss. Leaving a breathless Gibbs standing near the elevators.

This didn't go unnoticed by Ziva and Tony. Ziva IM's Tony "Someone feels threatened" Tony nod's at Ziva's comment then they both look up at the catwalk to see the MTAC door slamming.

Luckily the case was relatively easy so was over quickly. "Go home, see you tomorrow at 0700 any later and don't bother coming" Gibbs said in a gruff manor. The team left before he could change his mind.

Gibbs staid until 1900 as usual to finish the case report. When he finished he went up to leave it on Cynthia's desk so Jenny would get it in the morning but was surprised to find the light in Jenny's office still on. He slowly opened the door and saw Jenny sitting at her desk signing papers. Her hair was down framing her face and the light made her look to him, more beautiful than ever. He mentally slapped himself on the back of the head. He shouldn't be thinking about her like that he had a good thing with Hollis and didn't want to ruin it.

Jenny noticed Gibbs standing in the doorway and her eyes lit up like they always did when she saw him. She noticed he was staring at her and she could tell what he was thinking. "Shouldn't you be at home with your girlfriend" She asked trying to not to sound jealous.

This brought Gibbs out of his thoughts, "I just wanted to give you this case report and then I'm going home" he said putting the file on her desk then leaving.

He went back down to the bullpen and grabbed his coat and key's then turned and noticed Jenny walking towards the elevator with her coat and brief case. The elevator arrived and Jenny stepped in and just as the doors were about to close Gibbs stepped in.

"I'm sorry for what I said in my office, I'm glad that you are happy with Hollis" Jenny said realising that what she said earlier was a bit bitchy. Gibbs just nodded. The rest of the ride down was spent in an uncomfortable silence.

They both stepped of the elevator and Gibbs turned to her and said "night Jen"

"Good night Jethro" she replied then walked off. Jenny spent the car ride home wishing she could be the one Jethro would come home to at the end of the day. She could still dream couldn't she?
