It All Began In Paris

Chapter 24

**Jacqueline's POV**

Jethro and I were cuddled up on the couch. We had just had sex for the first time together in years and it was magical. We didn't worry about Sophie because a) we knew where she was and b) we knew that Jake was with her.

Jethro and I were sitting and watching a movie. I was lying on his lap and he had his arm around me. We were sitting and spending time with each other.

That was when the front door opened. In came Sophie and Jake. The door didn't close though. It stayed open as Jake and Sophie came towards us.

Sophie was about to open her mouth when Jethro moved me out of the way and stood up from the couch. He made his way over to the door and that's when I saw it. The face wasn't there, just a few strands of red hair, which was barely visible. But Jethro had seen it. He's a red head man after all.

**Gibbs' POV**

When the door opened, Jack and I faced it. Sophie and Jake walked in. They didn't close the door which confused me. Sophie was about to say something when I saw it.

A few strands of full, luscious, familiar red hair. I would know that hair anywhere. I moved Jack off my lap and went to the door.

"Jen." I whispered out as I got closer. She walked in the door.

"How? You didn't even see me?" She said with a grin.

"Your hair was poking through the door. I would notice that hair anywhere." I said with a smile.

We just stood there smiling at each other.

"I love you Jen." I admitted.

"I love you too Jethro." She replied and I beamed at her.

Then I kissed her. Probably was a bad idea since I was in a relationship with a woman who was sitting on the couch less that 10ft away.

She kissed me back and then pulled away. I rested my forehead against hers.

"I haven't met her yet, but your girlfriend just left the room with tears in her eyes." Jen told me.

"Fuck." I said and moved away.

I was debating going after her. After all I did have feelings for her but the woman beside me, was my soulmate. Nothing could ever top that.

"We'll go. I'll call you if I need you." Sophie said and went after Jack with Jake.

"Jethro, you have a girlfriend. You shouldn't have done that." Jen told me.

"How could I not have? This is you we're talking about here." I told her.

**Jacqueline's POV**

When he started kissing her, I left the room. I couldn't stand to see them. I understood, but at the same time, he cheated on me.

There was a knock on the door of the spare bedroom. That's the room I was currently sitting in. I had tears streaming down my face.

"Jethro, I understand. But right now, leave me alone." I said.

"Not Jethro. It's Jake and I." Sophie said.

"Come in." I told them. I hurriedly wiped my tears.

"Mom, it's okay to cry. You don't have to cover it up." Sophie told me. She sat down beside me and held me tightly.

"Your mom is back Sophie. You can stop calling me that now." I told her.

"No mom. I call you mom because that's what you are to me. I will always call you mom. No matter what happens between dad and you." Sophie explained to me.
