Jen and Jethro

It was time for Jen’s appointment and neither my sister nor Jethro knew they were in for a major surprise. After waiting in the waiting room for twenty minutes and then waiting in the exam room for another thirty minutes for the news Jen’s doctor had for them, the silence of Jen and Jethro being the only ones in the exam room after they had gotten the news was about to break one of them.
Jen and Jethro had just got word from Jen’s doctor that they were expecting triplets in nine months time. They had also found out that two of the babies were boys and the third was a girl. Now all that had to happen was to buy the additional baby supplies and to come up with names for their sons and daughter.
“I know what I want to name the babies, Jethro.” Jen said as they left the exam room for their car.
“What would you like to name them?” Jethro asked as he held the door open for Jen.
“I’d like to name one of our sons, Jasper Scott; then our other son have the name of Carson Jackson.” “I think it would be nice for our sons to have their grandfathers as their namesakes. What would you like to name our baby girl?”
“Bella Rue.”
“I love it.”
“Do you really?” Jen asked as they got into the car.
“Yes I do, and there is one thing I know for certain.”
“What’s that Jethro?”
“Bella will be just as beautiful as her mother.”
“That’s sweet, Jethro.” Jen said as they made their way back to their home.
Once on the main road, Jen continued.
“Jasper and Carson will be just as handsome as their father.”
Jethro grabbed Jen’s hand as he turned on to the road that adjoined the road their house sat on and squeezed her hand three times.
“I love you too, Jethro.”
Now there was an unspoken understanding between the parents – to – be. Prior to the appointment they had agreed on only telling two people each of what they had found out at the appointment. Jen knew that Jethro was going to Ducky without a doubt. She knew that Ducky had was not just Jethro’s friend, but the brother he never had. Now the second person Jethro would tell about the babies.
Jen knew that at some point that they would have to Jackson that he was going to have three additional grandkids. Jethro was also going to have to tell Kelly that she was going to have two baby brothers and a baby sister. But then again this why she told Jethro that he could tell more than two people. Jen also wondered if Jethro would tell Franks or not. Even though they were married and expecting, Jethro was still a mystery to her at times. She even began to question if Jethro was going to call Franks up or he chose to tell Abby instead of Franks.
Now on the other hand Jethro knew just who Jen was going to tell. It was obvious that Jen was going to tell me since we had told each other everything since I started talking. Jethro also knew that besides me that Jen would tell Ziva since they had been close from the day Ziva saved Jen in Cairo.
No matter who they told, eventually we would all know their news. After their appointment Jen was fully prepared to stop by Babies R’ Us to get the remaining baby supplies they need still but Jethro thought that it’d be best if they went home so that Jen could rest. Jen was just as stubborn as I was and adding her stubbornness to all the pregnancy hormones coursing through her, Jethro knew he stood no chance in hell when it came to winning an argument with her right now. So Jethro took the submissive role just as he had when Shannon was pregnant with Kelly and was in a mood.
A few hours later Jen and Jethro came out of Babies R Us with multiple shopping carts to the point where some of the store employees assisted them to their car. Jen pushed the cart that contained all the bags that held all the odds and ends for baby proofing the house before Jasper, Bella and Carson arrived. Jethro pushed the cart that held the two new cribs in them as the store employees pushed the carts that had the baby swings and the play pen. When they got home they had decided to share their news. After they had told who they each wished to tell of the triplets, Jethro was set to put the cribs and all the other baby things together.
After some time had past and everything was put together as well as baby proofed, Jen and Jethro sat down together and relaxed while they still had the chance.
“So now that we have everything done, what do you want to do?” Jethro asked Jen.
“I’m good with just relaxing here in your arms, Jethro. It’s been a long day.”
“You sure that’s all you want.”
“You know I want more that just the two of us sitting here relaxing.” Jethro said as he began kissing Jen’s neck.
“I know and I also know that was how I became a mother of three while being a step – mom to your daughter from your first marriage. In case you haven’t noticed, Jethro; I am not exactly in the mood to have sex right now.”
“Forget about all of that, Jen. We both know that you want to. Besides once the babies are born we’ll barely have time to sleep let alone have our own “physical pursuits”; it’s now or never.”
“Damn Jethro, have you forgotten how to convince me to do something after all this time?”
“No I didn’t.” Jethro said as he continued kissing Jen.
A bit later Jethro had won their discussion and they had gone up to occupy their bedroom. Once they wore themselves out, Jen lay in Jethro’s arms in complete bliss.
“You seem happy that we just did that.”
“Of course I do, Jethro; you are my husband, the father of unborn my sons and daughter after all.
“Remember a few years back when we were going down to Abby’s lab and you said I was always easy to read?”
“Of course I do.”
“You’re an easy read too.”
“Let me guess, you’re going to say that women like to make love in their own bed and that’s why I am in bliss mode.”
“Pretty much.”
Jen and Jethro had sex again. This time it was Jen who was able to get a word in once they separated for air.
“Forever and For Always, Jethro; Forever and For Always.” Jen said as she laced her hand that she wore her engagement and wedding band with Jethro’s.
“Forever and For Always.” Jethro said as he kissed her and squeezed her hand.
