After dinner Jordan went upstairs to give the twins a bath. Ducky decided to help her. Gibbs volunteered to do kitchen duty. The dog kept him company in return for some leftovers. Yet Gibbs hoped that Ducky wouldn’t stay for too long. He wanted however his desert. Upstairs Ducky took great pleasure in pampering his ‘grandchildren’.
“I’m terribly sorry I walked in before, Jordan.” Ducky apologized again while he lifted Kenzy out of her bath.
“Not your fault, Ducky. I should have told Jethro that I invited you. But maybe it was a good thing when you walked in as you did.” Jordan wrapped Ryan in a towel.
“Now why’s that, my dear?” Ducky accepted the towel that Jordan handed over. Jordan wasn’t certain how to put it. Ducky sensed her hesitation and knew where she was going at. “Jordan…” he laid Kenzy down in her crib and urged her to do the same with Ryan.
“Jordan, during the first initial weeks I would suggest to focus on more intimacy between you and Jethro than sexual intercourse.” Jordan silently thanked Ducky for getting the hint. “When you have those ‘quiet moments’ to spend together, perhaps make a ritual of taking a bath together and listen to soothing and sensual music. Give each other a sponge bath or shoulder rub. But above all listen to each other. Tell each other stories. Don’t leave yourselves out. Talk about yourselves and what you mean to one another. Nurture the ‘us’.”
“Jeez, Ducky. I don’t know what to say.” Jordan blushed a little.
“Don’t you worry my dear; I am sure Jethro will understand. He’s been through this before after all.” Ducky assured her. “And if you should go further than when I walked in.” He grinned. “I am certain that you will be both ready for it.”
Jordan kissed Ducky for his advice. He was the one she could turn to with all of her issues. After they were done, Ducky blinked Jordan an eye before he headed off. Gibbs and Jordan walked him to the door and Jordan once more thanked Ducky.
“You two have a good chat?” Gibbs asked Jordan after he’d closed the door.
“How do you know about that?” Jordan wondered as she laid her arm around his waist.
Gibbs pulled her in and kissed her softly. “Angel, as much as I’d love desert, you said it before. Your body, your pace.” Jordan couldn’t believe Gibbs’ sensibility. “Doesn’t mean we can’t have a bath together.” Gibbs smirked.
Jordan grinned at his caring thoughts; yet again she couldn’t resist teasing him. “Who’s sponging who?” She countered on her way to the bathroom.
Tony had driven Stella, Ziva and Mac home all night. Early next morning they dropped Mac and Stella off at Gibbs’ house. Gibbs shook Tony’s hand and told him to take Ziva home to get a good rest. Mac and Stella entered the house, followed by Gibbs. Jordan was in the kitchen feeding the twins.
“Jethro, when does our flight leave?” Stella picked up Kenzy and gave Jordan a hand.”
“Eleven thirty.” Jordan sadly smiled question. “I booked you first class.”
“Little over four hours.” Mac checked his watch. “Better start packing.”
“No need, Mac. Jordan took care of that yesterday.” Gibbs informed him. Stella was confused.
“Well, if you have to go back so suddenly, at least I want us to spend the rest of the morning together.” Jordan explained while getting Ryan to burb. “It’ll be quite some time till we see each other again. I’m gonna miss you guys.”
“I know what you mean, sis.” Mac came up and kissed the top of her head. Ryan finally burbed and Mac took him over from Jordan. “I’m gonna miss these two as well.” He tipped on Ryan’s nose.
“You’d better email lots of pictures, Jordan.” Stella grinned and held Kenzy up in the air. “They change a lot in three months.”
“Two months.” Gibbs corrected her and helped Jordan up from her chair. He gently laid his arm around her shoulder. “Jordan and I have set a date.” Gibbs kissed Jordan on the side of her head.
“Finally!” Stella squealed. Mac and Stella laid the twins back in the maxi-cozies and hugged Jordan and Gibbs. Mac pulled his sister over.
“I’m gonna need Mike’s and your help, Stell.” Gibbs whispered next to her ear, unable for Jordan and Mac to hear. Stella mischievously nodded at Gibbs.
“It’s about time you set a date, D’Angelo.” Mac pecked his sister on her cheek. “Welcome to the family, Bro.” He gave Gibbs a brotherly hug.
“So, what’s for breakfast?” Stella sniggered. “I’m starving.”
“You’re always starving.” Mac caressed her belly.
“C’mon Mac, we’ll set the table.” Gibbs suggested.
“I’ll start the coffee.’’ Jordan grinned. Stella drew a yucky face. “And I’ll make you a nice pot of tea, Sis.” Stella gave Jordan a thank-you smile.
“I’m terribly sorry I walked in before, Jordan.” Ducky apologized again while he lifted Kenzy out of her bath.
“Not your fault, Ducky. I should have told Jethro that I invited you. But maybe it was a good thing when you walked in as you did.” Jordan wrapped Ryan in a towel.
