Dad is Back

Jenny and I waited in her office for our father to be brought to us so that we could get some information. I could see how uneasy Jenny was as we sat in her office. All the waiting was starting to get to me at this point.
“I’ve got better things to do then sit here and wait for Dad. Like planning a wedding and seeing my fiancée.”
“I know, I’ve got things to do too; but we have to take care of this.”
“Speaking of my wedding; Jen, will be one of my bridesmaids?”
“I’d be honored to be a bridesmaid, sis.”
“Dad is going to freak when he sees our tattoos.”
“He won’t be able to see mine. Maybe one or both of yours.”
“Well at least I don’t have the Eiffel Tower tattooed on my hip with my initials and my boyfriend’s initials.” I said as I walked over to her desk.
“Dad won’t see it, but he’ll see that tattoo on your lower back.”
“If he hasn’t connected the dots that Nick and I are engaged by seeing this on my hand then there is something wrong with him.” I said as I held my hand up.
Jenny’s door opened to reveal our father.
“Jennifer, Jaylyn.” Jasper said once again.
“It’s good to see you again, dad.” Jenny said.
“You two have really grown up since I last saw you.”
“Well we kind had to since I am twenty-five and Jenny is forty-five.”
“Thanks for reminding me that I am old, Jay.”
“Doubt Jethro thinks that.”
“So Jethro is the name of the man you were mesmerized with before. And what is your boyfriend’s name Jaylyn?”
“My fiancée’s name is Nick.” I answered as a file from Jenny’s desk fell to the floor.
“Jaylyn.” Jenny said.
“Sorry, I got it.” I said as I bent over to pick up the file.
As I bent over my top came up a bit in the back to reveal my heart tattoo with my initials and Nick’s inside it.
“Jaylyn Emma Shepard, what the hell is that on your back?” Jasper questioned.
“It’s a tattoo, Dad.”
“Did that Goth forensic scientist persuade you to damage yourself like that?”
Jenny had that here we go again look on her face.
“That Goth forensic scientist’s name is Abby and no she didn’t persuade me to get this tattoo. It was my choice to get it.”
“Are there any other tattoos I should know about?”
“Jay don’t.” Jenny said.
“Jen has the Eiffel Tower tattooed on her hip with her initials and Jethro’s initials. We both have angel wings on our shoulder blades in memory of mom.”
“When did you two damage yourselves with these markings?”
“I got my angel wings when I turned eighteen and the Eiffel Tower was done when I was thirty-one.” Jenny answered.
“I had my angel wings done when I was nineteen and the heart was a few hours ago; I’m letting it breathe.”
“Jaylyn, you are dressing a bit risqué these days.” Jasper said commenting on my chosen attire.
“What part of I am twenty-five is so hard for you to understand. I can dress myself.”
“I couldn’t help but notice that you drive fast and all over the place. Who taught you how to drive?”
“Jethro and Ziva; got a problem with that too?”
“It’s unsafe.”
“I can’t take this anymore, Jen. I have a fiancée to see and a wedding to plan. Maybe I’ll see you later, dad.” I said as I walked out.
“What’s wrong with her?” Jasper asked Jenny.
“Really dad? You just called your daughter a tramp. Now it’s my turn to ask the questions.”
“Go ahead.”
“Where have you been the last fifteen years?”
“The witness protection program.” Jasper answered his daughter.
“Did Trent Kort have anything to do with you coming back from the dead?”
“Kort had nothing to do with this. I chose to leave the program after heard that La Grenouille was dead.”
“Where are you staying?”
“Before I answer that, wouldn’t it better if you continued this interrogation of yours in Interrogation?”
“Where are you staying?” Jenny asked again firmly.
“The Addams hotel.”
“Fine, we’ll see you at Jaylyn’s wedding. I’ll have an Agent escort you out.”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Jasper asked.
“It could have something to do with the fact that I have an agency to run, agents to keep tabs on, two weddings to help plan, a bachelorette party to attend and a boyfriend to see.”
“It’s clear; you and your sister don’t need me. You have a whole team of people that care for the both of you.”
“We’re just self-sufficient now. And please be at Jaylyn’s wedding, you have to walk her down the aisle.”
“I’ll be there, just make sure I know when the event is.”
“Will do; there will be an agent waiting for you at the elevator you came up in.”
“Before I leave; let me say this, your sister is too young to be getting married. You should have stopped her, Jennifer.
“One its Jen or Jenny now and two Jaylyn is love; that’s why told her to say yes.”
Our father nodded and left Jenny to her work. Nick had come up to the squad room once he had gotten back. As I saw my father descend the stairs behind Tony and McGee’s desks; I pulled Nick closer to me. Jenny made her way to MTAC as Dad came down the stairs. At the exact moment Dad looked over to where I was in the squad room; I brought Nick even closer and kissed him passionately until the elevator doors closed after my father was inside.
Once Nick and I separated I had gotten a text message from Jen who had just sat down in MTAC. Nick was completely stunned as I read the text message from my sister.
“What the hell possessed you to make-out with Nick as Dad left.”
After reading the text message from Jenny, I responded.
“Kissing my fiancée had nothing to do with Dad walking by the squad room; I just wanted to kiss my fiancée. I know you would rather be kissing Jethro then sitting up there in MTAC. Don’t judge; sis.”
