Sweet Moments
- Turf War -

    Set after the Ex-File no spoilers for it though. This is kind of a reversal of 'Comforting Jen' Where instead of Gibb's being upset at her shes upset at him cause of how he handled a case involving everyones favourite FBI Agent. So in my mind I can see Gibb's doing this but I can't see the writers of the show ever letting him do this lolz and of course Jen & Gibb's are married. A couple more of these to come, Please remember to Review!

    Thank you all so much for your wonderful reviews!! I love reading them all, I'm sorry about the grammer mistakes etc in the last chapter but betweem 3 kids one who is a 6 month old baby it's hard re reading over my stories when someone always needs my atttention lolz. I have checked this story over a couple of times and hope there are no mistakes!

    Disclaimer- I keep forgetting this! They arn't mine if they were we would have a little Jibblets running around the bullpen! Not to mention McAbby and Twilight would never have happened Tate was such a cute pairing! So wish Kate had stayed untill the epsiode 'Under Covers' and we would have no Judgement day and especially no Vance!! I wish they were mine hehe. Maybe if I keep bugging my boyfriend he will get them for me! After all he has alot ground to make up lolz


    Leory Jethro Gibb's sighed to himself and reached for his coffee cup but found that it was empty, He sighed once again he stood up and pulled on his coat.

    "I'm going out for coffee, When I get back I want to hear that one of you has a lead for me." He told his team as he left the bullpen heading for the coffee shop just around the corner that was open 24/7.

    Gibb's had only been gone a few minutes when his enemy inside of work hours and his almost best friend outside of them showed up in the bullpen looking for him. Tony heard the lift open and looked up hoping it wasn't their boss but when he saw FBI Agent Tobias Fornell stepping out of the lift he wished it was their boss he coughed loudly to get Ziva's attention,

    "Incoming" He coughed again to cover what he said

    Ziva gave him a puzzled look, It couldn't be Gibb's coming back already she thought to herself. It was then that she saw the FBI Agent that had been in their Bullpen only day's eariler when his Ex Wife had been a suspect in their last case.

    Tony stood up, "Can we help you Agent Fornell, Have you misplaced Diane maybe?" He asked the scarsam evident in his voice

    Fornell fixed Tony with a look. Gibb's had taught him well he thought though he would never admit it, He decided to let the comment about his Ex slide.

    "Looking for Jethro, Seem's your case is about to become the FBI's case" Fornell told Tony smirking

    When Tony heard this his heart sank, As did Ziva and McGee's for all three of them now knew that the 24 hours straight that they had been working on this case had made their boss angry enough, But that would be nothing compared to his reaction when he saw Fornell sitting at his desk and heard that the case they had been working on was about to become the FBI's.

    Tony not knowing what to say just nodded and retreated to behind his desk to wait for Gibb's return. Fornell went to Gibb's desk and sat down. McGee saw this and raised his eyebrows for everyone in the team knew not to go anywhere near their Boss's desk unless they were preapred to die young. Fornell noticed the shocked expression on the young agent's face and couldn't help but ask him,

    "Is something wrong Agent McGee?"

    "Ahh, No Sir" McGee stuttered, Mentally 'Gibb's slapping' himself for calling Fornell Sir

    Just then Gibb's entered the Bullpen, He knew something wasn't right as soon as he stepped off the lift. Tony wasn't tormenting Ziva or McGee instead his whole team was quiet. His eyes narrowed when he saw The FBI Agent sitting at his desk. He stormed over and slapped Tony's head on the way past.

    "Ow Boss! What was that for" Tony whined

    "For letting him sit at my desk Dinozzo" Gibb's snapped, He was now standing in front of his own desk looking down at the smirking FBI Agent

    "Our conference room Jethro?" Fornell asked trying to contain his smirk but not having much luck

    Gibb's nodded and stormed over to the lift with Fornell not far behind him, They both entered the lift and Gibb's hit the emeregency stop button and turned to Fornell.

    "Why are you here?" He asked

    "Seem's your victim was involved in a Undercover Op that my Director is running and they want us to take over the case" Fornell told him preparing himself for the protest that was coming.

    "No way Tobias, The victims Navy which makes it ours. How did you hear about this case anyway?" Gibb's asked "It's not even in the News yet"

    Fornell couldn't help but smile at this question for he knew the answer was going to make domestic bliss a thing of the past in the Gibb's household.

    "Seem's your Director called mine" He said

    Gibb's almost spat out his coffee "What?!" He choked, Hoping that he had somehow misunderstood Fornell, but one glance at Fornell's face dashed any hope of that.

    "Your Director called Mine" Tobias repeated

    Gibb's flipped the switch and the lift door's opened.

    He stormed out heading for the stairs to MTAC. On his way past Tony's desk Tony called out,

    "Boss The Director rang she want's you in her office ASAP" He trailed off as Gibb's kept on going then they heard the slam of Jen's door

    Tony turned to Ziva, "Guess he got the message already"

    She rolled her eyes at him "Really Tony" She told him scarsticly and went and sat behind her desk.

    Fornell followed behind Gibb's calmly into Jen's office and sat down on the couch while Gibb's walked up and down in front of Jen's desk.

    "What were you thinking calling the FBI, Without telling me first?" He demanded

    "Stop pacing Jethro, You'll ruin the carpet" She told her husband coming out from behind her desk

    She moved to sit down at the table that sat in the middle of her office and motioned for Fornell and her rather agaited Husband to join her which they did.

    "We are turning the case over to the FBI immediatly" She said firmly, Noticing that her husband was about to protest she cut him off

    "It is not up for discussion Jethro, There undercover Op comes first" She said

    She then turned to Fornell, "We will be handing all things related to this case over to you before you leave this afternoon"

    "Thank you Director" He told her smiling symptheticly at her knowing that she was going to be hearing about this for a long time to come.

    "So Ziva, What do you reckon Gibb's is so mad about" Tony asked

    "I don't know, But whatever it is Tony I wouldn't talk about if he hears you talking about him and The Director's personal life again, I think he really will fire you" She told him.

    "That and you would have a killer headache for the rest of your life" McGee offered.

    Tony turned to glare at the 'Probie',

    "I didn't ask you McGee, Havn't you got a system to break into or something" He growled.

    Ziva smiled sympatheticaly at McGee, Then turned her attention back to the folder in front of her.

    Not long after Gibb's came storming down the stairs and said to them,

    "Stop working on the Arnold case, Pack everything up we are handing it over to the FBI ASAP"

    He then turned and headed down to Abby's lab to give her the news.

    Tony turned to Ziva, "Whoa, This is so not good"

    "Really Tony, I hadn't noticed" She replied as she packed up her files and put them into the box that McGee was holding out for her.

    Gibb's returned a few minutes later but instead of looking angry he looked pleased.

    "Stop packing up the files" He told them

    All three turned and looked at him with suprised expressions,

    "Ahh Boss?" McGee asked

    "Pack the files from the case with Diane instead" He told them, Thinking it was going to be a shame that he wasn't going to be there to see Tobias's reaction when he saw the files Gibb's had given him.

    Tony turned to look at Ziva and said quietly so their boss couldn't hear "The Director is going to kill him"

    Ziva just nodded and quickly help McGee switch the files over once it had been done Gibb's took the box from them and carried it upstairs to Jen's office.

    He slammed the box down in front of Tobias "There's your case files Tobias" He told him

    Fornell smiled knowing how much Gibb's had to be hating handing over the files.

    "Trust you can find your own way out Tobias" Gibb's walking out of Jen's office.

    Jen turned to Fornell, " I trust we will be seeing you next time your Agency needs something Tobias?" She said

    "Pleasure as always Director" He told her, Walking out of her office carrying the box full of files.

    Gibb's came back down the stairs and motioned to his team, "With me, Abby's got us something" He said walking towards the lift.

    Tony shot Ziva a look, She shook her head at him and followed Gibb's and McGee silently down to Abby's lab.

    Jen looked down at the Bullpen and saw that her husbands team was busy working again, She smiled to herself suprised at how easily he had handed over the files to Tobias, She had been expecting a fight. She was going to go down and see what case they were working on when Cynthina came looking for her,

    "The Director of the FBI is on the phone for you Director, He said its urgent" Her assitant told her

    Jen nodded and looked down at her husbands team and saw that they were gearing up to go out in the field she took one last look and turned towards her assitant and followed her back to her office.

    She picked up her phone and was about to say hello but the Director of the FBI didn't give her the chance to,

    "Do you think it is funny sending my Agent back with the files concerning his ex wife, Director?" The Director if the FBI yelled down the phone at her

    "What do you mean?" She asked swallowing hard hoping like hell her husband hadn't done what she thought he had

    "Agent Fornell just arrived back with the box your Agency gave him that was meant to contain the files relating to the Undercover Mission I am running. A very important mission I would like to add, Instead I find the box full of reports about a case that concerned Agent Fornell's wife" The Director told her the anger in his voice building with every word.

    She had to bite back laughter. Her Director side knew that she should be as mad as hell at her husband he should know better than to do this. But the other part of her wanted to laugh until she cried. To see the look on the Director of the FBI's face right now would be priceless. I should have known this would happen. I should have collected the files myself. Damm you Jethro she thought.

    "I'm so sorry Mike" She said using the Director's first name

    "Agent Gibb's must have mixed up the boxes, If you could send Agent Fornell back with our files I assure you I will personally make sure he is given the right ones"

    "I'm sending him over right now" The FBI Director told her, Before she could say anything he hung up on her.

    She took a deep breath then reached for her cellphone and dialed the all to famillar number after a couple of rings he picked up,

    "Where are you Jethro?" She asked him

    "Just bringing in a suspect"

    "By any chance it wouldn't have anything to do with the phonecall I just got from The Director of the FBI would it Jethro?"

    "Ahh, He called you huh?"

    "Yes, yes he did Jethro. What the hell were you thinking?" She yelled at him

    He held the phone away from his ear and started walking up the stairs to her office.

    "Jethro?"

    All of a sudden her office door was pushed open and her husband was standing there,

    "I hate it when you do that" She sighed snapping her phone closed

    "So" She demanded "Why did you give Fornell the wrong files?"

    "You gota admit Jen, Don't you wish you were there to see Fornell and Mike's faces when they realised what was in the box" He told her smiling at the thought

    She found herself smiling back, But then the little voice inside her head reminded her why she was so angry.

    "Well?" She asked

    "Ab's got us a lead about where his phone was, We went there and found him" He told her, Making it sound so simple.

    "And you couldn't hand this information over to the FBI and let them handle it because?" She asked him

    "Come on Jen, It would have taken them hours to act on it and by then he would have gotten away"

    "Maybe so but that isn't you call to make" She told him

    Tobias Fornell walked into the Bullpen for the second time that day. He carried the rather heavy file box over to Tony's desk

    "I believe these belong to you Agent Dinozzo" He said dryly

    "Where is Jethro?" He asked Tony

    "In the Director's office" Ziva told him, All of a sudden they could hear Jenny screaming at her husband,

    "Do you know how it looks when my husband cannot follow a simple order?" They all heard Jenny scream

    "It makes me look like I can't run my own Agency Jethro!"

    Fornell glanced up at the catwalk, "Maybe I'll wait down here" He said to no one in particular

    Tony glanced at Ziva "Told you she would kill him"

    "I don't think shes killing him Tony, I think shes more upset cause we kept her out of the hoop"

    "Loop Zee-vah, Loop" Tony told his partner

    "Sounds the same to me" Ziva said stubbornly

    "If you hadn't called The FBI in none of this would have happened" Gibb's told her, Taking a sip from his coffee.

    She wanted to lunge across her desk at him, 'How dare he be so calm and make it sound like it's my fault' She fumed to herself.

    "O I'm sorry Jethro, I forgot the part where it said in my job description that I can change the rules cause my husband doesn't like them"

    He placed his coffee down on her desk, "Looks like you need it more than I do.I'll go get the suspect and Files and hand them over to Tobias" He told her walking out of her office.

    She glanced at the cup of coffee he had left her and was about to pick it up when she realised that he had already left, She hurried after him to make sure this time Fornell got what he came for.

    Tony heard silence from Jen's office and looked up, He saw Gibb's and The Director walking down the stairs. When they reached the Bullpen Fornell stood up,

    "Director, Jethro" He said

    "Hello Agent Fornell, Please pass on my apolgies to your Director" Jen told him

    "Agent Gibb's will go and get you your suspect while Dinozzo and Ziva pack up the files for you and Agent McGee will print of the prisoner transfer and file transfer papers for you" The tone of her voice leaving no room for arugements

    Tony and Ziva started packing the real files into the box this time and McGee hurried to print of the paperwork, But her husband didn't move,

    "Is there a problem Agent Gibb's?" She asked him

    "No problem, Director" He told her also using her job title deciding that two could play at that game

    "Then why havn't you got Agent Fornells suspect?" She asked him, Not in the mood for games

    "I don't know which room Officer David put him in" He told her

    They both fixed Ziva with a look that made Tony cringe he was glad he wasn't his partner right now,

    "Ahh, Intergaration 2" Ziva said avoiding eye contact with both of her Boss's

    Gibb's then nodded and left to get the suspect. A few minutes later McGee had the paperwork printed off, Jen and Tobias had signed it Ziva and Tony had the files packed and Jen had checked over them to make sure they were the correct ones. All they were waitig for was Gibb's. She glanced at her watch

    "It shouldn't take him this long" She said worried about him but at the same time annoyed.

    She was about to go see what was taking him so long when he came out of the lift with the suspect.

    "Here you go Fornell" He said pushing the handcuffed man in the FBI Agents's direction.

    Jen smiled to herself when she saw Fornell trying to figure out how to carry the Box and walk the suspect out deciding to put him out of his misery she said,

    "Agent Gibb's will carry that box for you Tobias"

    When Fornell heard this he almost choked on the laughter he was doing his best to hold onto, Gibb's glared at her but picked up the box and followed Fornell out of the Bullpen.

    Once Gibb's had gone Jen turned to his team,

    "What happened today, I never want a repeat of" She told them all fixing them all with her version of the 'Gibb's Stare'

    They all nodded and tried to busy themselves with paperwork She said,

    "Tell Jethro to come up to my office when he gets back"

    "Yes Director" Ziva said

    Jen nodded at her friend then walked back up the stairs to her office, A few minutes later her husband was standing in her office.

    "You wanted to see me?"

    "Sit down Jethro" She told him motioning to the couch he did as she told him to

    "I never want a repeat of today, I have told your team the same. Next time something like this happens you come to me ok" She told him

    He nodded and went to standup but she grabbed his arm

    "I don't like fighting with you Jethro"

    He sighed and ran a hand over his face, "I don't want to fight Jen, But what I did today was to get a killer of the streets"

    She nodded and was about to say speak again when his phone rang he answered it and then hung up,

    "We have another case dead Marine at a party"

    "Ok, I'll see you at home then" She said softly

    He bent down and kissed her on the cheek then hurried out of her office.

    He walked through the front door of his and Jen's house and noticed that the light was on in her study. He took a deep breath and walked over to the study door knowing that he had alot of ground to make up, Even though they had talked briefly this afternoon he knew there was a lot more that needed to be said. He pushed open the study door,

    "Jen?" He said softly

    She looked up from the file that she was reading and saw her husband standing in the doorway holding a bunch of gorgeous flowers she couldn't help but smile even though she was still angry at the stunt he pulled earlier in the day.

    "I thought you didn't like gifts that required attention" She teased him standing up and walking over to him. But secretly she was touched that he had gone to the effort to buy her flowers especially considering that there couldn't be to many flower shops open at 9pm on a friday night.

    "They are for you not me Jen, So they will be requiring your attention not mine" He told her his tone teasing also.

    He handed them to her and she looked at them closely.

    "They are beautiful, Thank you Jethro" She said leaning into him so she could kiss him.

    "About today Jen-" He started to say

    "Don't say anything. I have to admit it was funny and I am glad that you got the suspect but don't ever do it again!" She told him pressing a finger to his lips, He nodded and kissed her finger instead

    She couldn't help but smile

    "I'll put these in some water, Then we can have dinner" She told him as she carried the flowers through to the kitchen, He followed her into the kitchen and watched her as she moved around the kitchen.

    "Stop staring at me Jethro!" She scoled him playfully as she walked towards him

    He just raised his eyebrows at her as she wound her arms around his neck he wrapped his arms around her waist

    "What do you want for dinner?" She asked him

    "Mmm Pasta?" He suggested

    "Sounds good to me. You cook ok, I'm going to have a shower" She told him giving him a kiss before she headed up the stairs

    He watched her walk up the stairs and called out "You want some company up there?"

    She turned around at the top of the stairs, "No Jethro, I can do fine alone" She told him smiling down at him then walking into the bathroom and shutting the door after her.

    He shook his head and went back into the kitchen and found the takeout menus that they kept by the phone after he had ordered he went into her study to turn the light off when he heard his wife cough quietly behind him he spun around and his eyes widened immediatly, She was wearing the shirt that he had left discared on the floor that morning and while she had a few buttons done it was very obivious to him that she was wearing nothing underneath it she smiled teasingly at him,

    "Are you just going to stare at me or are you going to come over here?" She asked him impatiently

    When he didn't move she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck she leant in and kissed him, He kissed her back and soon he found her pulling him upstairs to their bedroom.
