Previously On NCIS…
“I’m pregnant with twins, I’m eight weeks along.”
“And the father is?” Jethro asked.
“I’d rather not say.”
“If DiNozzo is the father, I will kill him myself.” Jethro said.
“Not if I get to him first.” Jenny said.
~~~~~~~~~~
Four months had passed since Jaylyn had told Jenny and Jethro about her pregnancy. The past four months had been quite interesting to say the very least. Jenny and Jaylyn had spent the last four months arguing over the predicament Jaylyn was in. At this point Jaylyn was showing and Jenny had put her on desk duty for the remainder of her pregnancy. Jaylyn hated being on desk duty.
It was instances like this that not only did Jethro see the differences between his wife and sister – in – law, but the entire team also saw the differences. Since Jenny had taken the Director’s office following Kate’s death and Morrow’s departure Jenny had resigned herself from field work and being an agent until she became obsessed with La Grenouille. Jaylyn on the other hand thought there was nothing better than being a field agent. Around the twelfth week Jaylyn had found out the sexes of her unborn children plus an additional surprise or so with that ultrasound.
Since Kellan had chosen to be a dead beat dad, Jaylyn had asked Ziva to go with her. Jaylyn had wanted to surprise the others later that night when she went out to dinner with them like they had every Thursday night. Jaylyn had wondered why her bump was as big as it was for being twelve weeks pregnant with twins. All that Jaylyn had really known was that the stage that she was at in the pregnancy her bump shouldn’t have been that big yet. It wasn’t until the appointment that she and Ziva had gone to at the start of the twelfth week that she had learned why her stomach was as big as it was.
“You’re not having twins, Jaylyn?”
“What do you mean I’m not having twins? Did I miscarry or something?”
“Or something.”
“Doctor please tell us, we have a dinner to get to.” Ziva said getting a bit anxious.
“Ms. Shepard, you’re having quintuplets. The ultra sound tech missed the other three babies at your last visit since they were hiding behind their siblings or they were out of the frame when the picture appeared on the scene.”
“I’m having quints?” Jaylyn question completely admonished.
“Yes; you are. Would you like to know their sex?”
Jaylyn was still stunned from the previous news she had gotten.
“Yes she would.” Ziva said answering the Doctor for Jaylyn.
“Ms. Shepard; you’re having two boys and three girls.”
With that the Doctor left and Ziva helped her friend get up from the examination table so that she could back into her pants. Shortly after that Ziva and Jaylyn headed back to the Navy Yard. Once Jaylyn had set one pregnant foot inside the agency the war that had been going on between her and Jenny had resumed. As usual even though they were in Jenny’s office the entire agency heard their argument. Jethro was Jaylyn’s only saving grace up in Jenny’s office.
“Are you ever going to let me live it down that I’m no longer your perfect little sister anymore? Cause this whole I can’t believe you had a one night stand bit of yours is getting old, Jen.” Jaylyn yelled at the top of her lungs.
“Well no, having a one night stand is ridiculous thing to do at your age; no matter what the situation is. For God’s sake you acted like DiNozzo; I thought I raised you better than that, I thought we raised you better than that.” Jenny shouted back at her sister.
“Look whose talking sis. If I recall correctly someone in this room had a pregnancy of her own when she was my age.”
“Don’t go there. Don’t bring him into this.”
Jethro had been sitting at the conference table in his wife’s office where so many conversations had taken place over the years. Jethro imagined that after Jenny’s tirade that Tony likely took offense to the remark downstairs. After the last exchange he could sense Jenny’s emotions getting to her just by the sound of the sadness in her voice. Jethro also knew unlike his wife and sister-in-law that the entire agency could hear the argument. Hell Tobias likely heard over at the Bureau.
“Well sis, not everyone gets the picture perfect fairytale that you have. Guys like Jethro these days are far and few between.”
“You two need to calm down. This fight isn’t doing any good for either of you. All it’s doing is raising your blood pressure; Jen and its stressing both Jay and the babies out. Cool it both of you, before I get Ducky in here.”
“Don’t talk to me like that Jethro. I’m not a junior agent anymore.”
“Jen, I wasn’t talking to you as a junior agent or as the Director. I’m talking to you as my wife. You both need to cool it for the sake of the babies.”
At that point Jaylyn started for the door.
“This isn’t over Jaylyn.”Jenny said as Jaylyn placed her hand on the door handle.
“Jen.” Jethro said warning his wife.
“Yeah it’s over Jen. I am beyond done with this argument. You are stressing your nieces and nephews out with your shouting.” Jaylyn said as she opened the door.
“Nieces and nephews?” Jethro questioned before Jenny could say anything.
“Yeah Jethro; nieces and nephews. I’m pregnant with quints, three girls and two boys.” Jaylyn said as she left her sister’s office.
“And as usual she had to one up me.” Jenny commented.
“Cool it Jen and be happy for her.”
By the time Jaylyn got back to her desk Tony, McGee, Abby, Ducky and Palmer had heard Jaylyn’s news. So that had saved Jaylyn from telling everyone that night at dinner. Things eventually cooled down between Jenny and Jaylyn. Jaylyn had gone to the ladies’ room a few times throughout the course of the remainder of the work day. Tony had commented on how much Jaylyn was eating at lunch.
“Tony, I’m eating for six or did you forget that?”
“Thought you were having quints?” Palmer questioned.
“Autopsy Gremlin, she is pregnant with quints.” Tony said.
“Jay is just saying that she’s eating for herself and for her kids, Jimmy.” Abby said.
Little did the rest of the team, Jenny and Jethro know; but Jaylyn was involved with another agent. Another NCIS agent to be exact. They both knew that if their relationship was revealed to the others that Jenny and Jethro would do quite a bit of damage to the agent that Jaylyn was seeing. At one point during lunch when the others weren’t really paying attention, Jaylyn and Tony shared a look.
Jaylyn could see what Tony wanted. He was just like Jethro in that sense.
“Not now, T.” Jaylyn mouthed.
Tony gave her that look that said that they could sneak off for a quickie like Jenny and Jethro did every once in awhile or they could sneak off for quick make out session somewhere in a secluded area of the agency.
“Not now, T. Remember you have to start acting like an adult if we’re going to be together and you’re going to be a father to my kids.” Jaylyn mouthed again.
At one point Jaylyn and Tony were standing next to each other. Tony of course couldn’t resist his urges and goosed Jaylyn when he felt it was safe to.
The collective went to dinner later that night. A few minutes after Jaylyn got in from dinner and the coast was clear, Tony came over to Jaylyn’s apartment.
“Could you have been any more obvious in blowing our relationship wide open to the entire team before?”
“Can’t help it. I’ve a thing for redheads.”
“Taking a page out of the Jethro playbook are you?”
“Cute Jay.”
“I know.”
Tony was about to say something.
“Hasn’t Ziva taught when it’s better to shut up?” Jaylyn said quieting Tony with a kiss.
Ziva was Tony’s partner on the job, but when it came to off the job; Jaylyn was his partner.
Things got a bit more interesting as things progressed between Tony and Jaylyn. They both knew that they were breaking rule twelve, neither of them cared. Jaylyn knew things were right when she was with Tony. It didn’t matter to him that she was pregnant with another man’s babies. He loved her and even though the babies growing inside of Jaylyn were his biologically, he loved them as if they were his own. They felt justified that it was okay that they were breaking rule twelve since Jenny and Jethro broke it years before.
In Jaylyn’s mind sex with Tony was better than anything else. Sex with Kellan had paled in comparison. As did the sex she had with the men in her life prior to Tony. If anything she was happy that Tony didn’t find it odd to have sex with a pregnant woman. Midway through Tony took note of how bliss out Jaylyn was.
“Guess I’m that good.” Tony said looking down at his lover.
“Ah hell yeah you are.”
