Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Then there came you

It was a Friday night and how was special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs spending it? Having dinner with his friend FBI agent Tobias Fornell, it was something they did once a month, just drink beer, watch football and have dinner.

They'd both just finished a joint case together and decided to celebrate putting another bastard behind bars by Fornell cooking pasta and sauce, but to do that he actually needed food and also pans to cook it in because Gibbs didn't, of course they couldn't go to Fornell's house as Diane was there and she and Gibbs had never really got along even when they were married.

Fornell had dragged Gibbs to a local supermarket, he'd gone off to go get whatever he needed while Gibbs went off and decided to get stuff that he would need to save him going shopping later on in the week when he was way too busy working.

So he stood on the cereal aisle looking at all the different kinds, cereal being the only other thing he ever had for dinner other than Chinese takeout. Running a hand through his salt and pepper hair Gibbs decided to just stick with what he knew and picked up a box of grainy o's, boring, bland but nutritious and cheap.

"Grainy o's really" Fornell teased Gibbs as he walked over to him pushing his own shopping cart.

"Better than goat curry" Gibbs commented remembering what happened last month.

"Do you know what you need" Fornell told Gibbs as he took the grainy o's from his hands and put them back on the shelf and picked up a box of lucky charms.

"What?" Gibbs asked his friend as he watched Fornell take the cereal and put it back.

"You to have some fun" Fornell replied throwing Gibbs the lucky charms.

"Right" Gibbs said putting the cereal down and picking up his normal cereal again and then started to walk down aisle to go find the milk.

"Come on" Fornell grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back "When was the last time you were with a women?" he asked him.

Gibbs shook his head, telling him that he wasn't going to answer before trying to walk away but Fornell blocked his way by standing in front of him.

"It was Diane wasn't it?" He asked, Gibbs look away which gave him an indication that he was right, "God that was like…" Fornell thought for a moment "Well look how old Emily is" he told him with an almost laugh, thinking of how old his and Diane's daughter was and thinking Gibbs had been alone that long.

"I work a lot it's hard to find people" Gibbs shrugged his shoulders, all he seemed to do was work on his boat or be at work, he didn't have time to meet anyone and anyone he met at work, they just weren't the right person, they weren't people he could picture a future with, there never was a spark.

"Okay, let's find you a women" Fornell told him with a smile, he knew what he was going to do and it was going to be fun.

"Right now?" Gibbs asked looked around the deserted shopping aisle.

"Right now" Fornell nodded to Gibbs with a mischievous look in his eyes. "The next women to come round that corner…you're going to ask out"

"No" Gibbs shook his head.

"Yes" Fornell nodded with a full blown grin "It'll be fun" he told his friend.

"Yeah fun for you to watch" Gibbs mumbled under his breath and he took a deep breath and ran a hand down his face not sure why he was even going to do this, he turned and stared at the corner.

They heard footsteps, loud ones, someone was coming around the corner, Gibbs' heart started to beat a little faster in anticipation, but round the corner came a large stocky man, his bald head shiny under the intense shop lights. Fornell almost laughed before nudging Gibbs who shook his head and gave him a scowl.

Another five minutes went past and no one else came around the corner, of course no one was in the shop on a Friday evening who else would spend it here.

"Let's go" Gibbs shook his head and turned to walk away but Fornell stopped him.

"Two more minutes" he almost pleaded, he wanted to find Gibbs someone, he didn't want his friend to be alone.

"Fine" Gibbs rolled his eyes and huffed before turning back around and looked back down the aisle

The sound of pitter patter of feet running all of a sudden became apparent then faint yelling, before Gibbs knew it two children ran around the corner.

Both looking between the ages of five and ten, the boy looking a little older than the girl, "Tony give it back" the two men watched as the little girl reached up to grab her stuffed purple hippo that the boy, who must be Tony was holding up just out of her reach.

"Want it" the little boy lowered the stuffed toy a little and just as the girl reached for it he pulled it up out of her reach again "Can't have it" he told her with almost an evil laugh.

"Mummmmmmy" The little girl yelled and began to stamp her feet loudly.

Just as the girl began to scream a shopping cart that was full to the brim with a lot of different food for kids, Gibbs looked up at the women who was pushing the cart, the first thing that hit him was that she was a redhead, she wore baggy jeans which her fading , a loose fitting green jumper which sleeves were way to long and covered her hands, her hair was in a messy bun, stray curls covering her face, and on her feet she wore a pair of old warn out trainers the laces haphazardly tied as if done in a rush, "Tony I'm giving you five seconds to give Abby back Bert or else you are not allowed to go to football practice this week or next" she all of a sudden yelled at the children. "One"

Tony looked at his mother then to his little sister "Two" his mother said then she said "Three".

"Fine" the boy rolled his eyes before throwing the purple hippo back at his sister, she caught it and poked her tongue out at him before hugging the hippo, now known as Bert close to her chest making the toy produce a funny sound to which she giggled.

"Okay you two now your friends again can you please pick a cereal" The mother asked them both in the calmest voice she could muster, not wanting them to hear how really stressed she was.

Both children grinned before running over to the cereal and picking up two very different types and putting them in the shopping cart, "Uh, one box" their mother told them before putting back the cereal the children had chosen before looking at the selection herself trying to find one that was on sale and then picked up Tony's favourite, lucky charms, just full of extra sugar neither of her children needed with their hyper personalitys.

"What are you waiting for?" Fornell asked Gibbs bringing him back from the trance he'd seemed to be under.

"No" Gibbs shook his head.

"You have to ask her out" Fornell told him.

"She has kids" He told his friend shaking his head.

"So?" Fornell asked with a shrug of his shoulder "You like kids, your great with Emily" he reminded his friend.

"No" Gibbs shook his head "If there are kids, there has to be a dad" he told him.

"I don't see a ring on her finger" Fornell grinned at him before pushing Gibbs towards the women who had her two children circling her, the little girl pulling on her mother jumper as the boy loaded the already loaded cart with as many boxes pop tarts as he could.

"If you don't I will ask her for you " Fornell told him pushing him once more, Gibbs had known Fornell for many years and he knew he would probably go over to the women and ask her out for him.

Gibbs puffed out his chest and walked over to the women, "Ugh excuse me" he said wiping his sweaty palm on his trousers.

"I'm sorry for whatever my kids have done" the women told him not even bothering to look up at him from the shopping list in her hands making sure she wasn't missing anything that they needed.

"Uh no…"Gibbs began but she cut him off.

"I'll reimburse you for whatever they broke" she told him still not looking at him.

"It's not…." He tried again.

"They're not usually like this, they just had a lot of sugar yesterday…" she began but this time Gibbs stopped her.

"I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime" he asked her, hoping she had listened to him.

The women's head shot up, she looked at him for a moment, he saw her skin was pale, she had dark bags under her eyes like she'd lost a lot of sleep lately but what got him most was her bright green eyes, something he hadn't noticed until now.

She opened her mouth and was about to answer when she looked straight past him and her facial features soon became angry "Tony put all those pop tarts back now or else you don't get lucky charms and you're just going to get grainy o's" she told him.

She then turned her attention back to the man that stood in front of her, Gibbs cleared his throat before speaking "I know this is a little strange and I totally get why you would say no, I mean you probably have a husband or boyfriend so you wouldn't want to…."

The women smiled, finding his nervousness kind of sweet, I mean yes this was crazy a guy coming up to her but how many opportunity's does a single mother get to go one dates let alone offered one. "No, I'd like to" she told him.

"Really" Gibbs was a little surprised this was going to work, "Ugh here's my number" Gibbs said pulling out a business card and handing it to her.

"Well…" she began to read his name from the card "Special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs" she said with a smile.

"Just Jethro" he told her.

"Well just Jethro, I'm Jenny" she told him "I'll call you later, probably after nine" she said motioning to the children who were still putting boxes of pop tarts back on the shelf.

"Can't wait" Gibbs smiled at her.

"Okay you two you can keep one box of pop tarts" Jenny told her two children, Tony and Abby high fived, like they had planned it all. She smiled at Gibbs once more before pushing the shopping cart down the aisle, passing Fornell as she turned to go down the next.

"What'd she say?" Fornell asked Gibbs as he walked over to him.

"She said yes"
