It All Began In Paris

Chapter 13

**Jenny's POV**

Sophie and Samuel were upstairs in his bedroom doing their project. I wasn't sure about them being alone in his bedroom but they had promised to keep the door open and so I said it was fine.

"So, how have you been?" Christopher asked me. We were sitting on his couch in the living room catching up.

"I've been well. What happened between you and Cassie?" I asked him. Cassie had been his best friend since they were in diapers and the whole while that Chris and I had been together, I was jealous of his relationship with her.

"Well the day you left me at the alter she came over. We got drunk and one thing led to another. That's how Sam came about. We decided to give being in a romantic relationship a go for Sam's sake. And I thought it was working until his 5th birthday. I found out she had been cheating on me the whole time. I was upset. Not be sure I was in love with her or anything but because I felt betrayed. I mean she was supposed to be my best friend. Then she left us and stayed with the other guy. He's a multi billionaire." He said and shrugged his shoulders.

"What about you and Jethro?" He asked me.

I told him the whole thing, front the day that Sophie had shown up at my door to the day that Jethro had left us.

**Gibbs' POV**

We had decided to spend the night at Katie's parents' place. It was what made the most sense for Melissa. I thought for certain that her parents wouldn't want us sharing a bed and so I would be on the couch downstairs.

"So you two can share Katie's room. She has a large single bed but I'm sure you too will manage." Clara said. I was in shock but tried not to show it.

"Uncle Jethro, can you tuck me in?" A little voice from behind me asked. It was Melissa and she was rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"Of course I can. Now, you're super tired so should I carry you up to bed?" I asked her. She just smiled at me and nodded.

I carried her upstairs using a fireman's lift and placed her on her bed. I tucked her in under the covers and kissed her forehead affectionately.

"Goodnight baby girl." I said to her softly.

"Goodnight uncle Jethro. I love you." She said to me.

"I love you too baby." I said. Then I left the room and turned the light off on my way out.

"Don't say things you don't mean Jethro." Katie said to me as soon as I'd left Melissa's room.

"I meant that." I said and walked past her. I made my way downstairs.

**Jenny's POV**

"Thank you Christoper. Thank you for a wonderful evening." I said to Chris. We were now ready to go. It was coming up to 8pm and the kids had school tomorrow.

"No. Thank you for coming Jenny. We should make this a weekly thing." He said.

"Sounds good. You guys are coming to ours next week." I said with a smile and kissed his cheek.

"Let's go Sophie." I called to Sophie. She came downstairs with Samuel behind her.

"Bye Sam. I really enjoyed today." Sophie said to Samuel.

"Thanks for coming. See you tomorrow." Samuel said and kissed her cheek. Sophie blushes and I raised an eyebrow at Chris. He just smirked at me.

"I want to see Abby and Ziva." Sophie said to me out of the blue on the way home.

"You have no reason to see them. They are just people who work for me. Now forget about it because it's not happening." I told her sternly.
