The Debate

Tony and Ziva spent one of the times when Jethro had gone for coffee arguing. They weren’t arguing about the case. Ziva and Tony were arguing about who was going to teach their daughters how to drive.
“I’ll teach them how to drive!!!” Ziva said.
“I don’t think so.”
“Why not? I was the one that carried them!!!!”
“They are my kids too. I want them to live through their driving lessons.” Tony said.
“I have live in this country for eighteen years. I am not as bad of a driver as I was when Director Shepard first brought me over, Anthony DiNozzo.” Ziva said.
“I still think that the girls should learn how to drive from someone who doesn’t drive like Gibbs and drives more like McNerd or the Director.”
“Speaking of the Director; she has been acting odd lately.”
“I know; Jen has never acted this way.” I said.
“Maybe she is…..” Kate said but trailed off as Ziva and I looked at her knowing what she was hinting at.
“She can’t be; she’s 59 and he’s 65.”
“Come on Jay, its possible; just because he’s in his sixties doesn’t mean they can’t.”
“I know, but it’s just disturbing to think of them doing that. I’m still scarred from walking in on them eleven years ago.”
“You know just as well as I do that when your sister wants something Jay; that she’ll get it whatever it takes.” Ziva said as we both remember Jen’s vendetta against La Grenouille.
Abby came up to the squad room looking for Jethro, she had heard part of our conversation.
“Director Shepard isn’t pregnant.” Abby said as she joined us.
“How do you know?” Kate asked.
“Ducky had me run tests on her blood again and there is no sign of a pregnancy in her blood.”
“What about her illness?” I asked.
There was a hint of concern in my voice and it was quite obvious. Even though I was the baby sister and Jen was the older sister, I was still protective of her and I still worried about her.
“I didn’t see any traces of it, but Ducky is sending her to another doctor to make sure our findings are correct.”
“Great so I get to worry more.” I said.
“I am sure Jenny will be fine, Jaylyn.” Ziva said comfortingly.
By this point Tony and McGee had joined in the conversation.
“Does Gibbs know?”
“Does Gibbs know what, DiNozzo? Jethro asked.
“That Jen is going to the doctor’s, Jethro.”
“Ducky sent her?”
“Yes Gibbs, he had me run tests on her blood like before he told her to go the base doctor.” Abby answered.
“Has she left yet?”
Lately Jethro was either completely silent to the point where we had to read his mind and anticipate what he wanted. Or when he did speak, he stuck to three words at the most and we had to interpret the rest.
“We have no idea.” Kate chimed in.
“McGee.” Jethro said.
“Get a GPS fix on the Director; on it boss.”
“DiNozzo.”
“Yes Gibbs.” Tony and Ziva answered in unison.
Kate, Abby and I muffled back laughs after the faux pas.
“Ah boss, Director Shepard is at the base doctor’s.”
“Tony, Ziva; go act as the Director’s protection detail.” Jethro instructed.
“Okay that was a low blow, Jay.” Tony said as he looked over to me and saw the look on my face.
“Sorry; I can’t help it, I’m just worried about her. I know history won’t repeat itself.”
On their way over Tony and Ziva had decided that it would be best for Tony to teach their girls how to drive. Nick and I had decided in light of recent events that it would be wise if Nick taught JD the ropes of driving. If anything both Ziva and I knew that this whole experience was one of those things that fell into the category of a father’s duties. Before long Tony and Ziva had escorted Jenny back to NCIS.
Jenny was smiling, which was a good thing.
“I’m healed, I’m no longer sick.” Jenny said.
I instantly hugged my sister.
“Thank God.” I said.
Soon after Jethro passionately kissed my sister with all of us watching kind of.
“Tim and I are pregnant.” Abby said out of the blue.
“We’ve known for a few weeks.”
We were all too stunned to say anything.
“You didn’t have to send Tony and Ziva over, Jethro. And having McGee locate me was really unnecessary.” Jenny said after she pulled back from the kiss.
Jethro had that “How the hell did you know this” look on his face. We all knew that look, but of course as most things go with Jethro; Jenny knew that look along with all his looks a little better than the rest of us.
“I know you Jethro, I knew it was you that had them do all of that stuff.” Jenny said as six of us started backing up to give Jen and Jethro there space.
JD had backed up with us, but instead of standing next to me she stood next to Abby. As the look on Jethro’s face began to dissipate Jenny went in for another passionate kiss, a smile played across her face as well as mine, Kate, Abby and Ziva’s.
“She was always able to read him.” I said.
