Chapter 9
Diane came into the kitchen, and Leroy smiled seeing her in one of his old NCIS t-shirts that he rarely wore. She walked over sitting down, and whispered, 'You know I was always comfortable in your big shirts"
"I remember, I ordered Chinese food, I know you love it"
"Yeah remember we use to eat it in bed, it made us frisky after"
"Oh Diane lets not talk about that right now"
"Just talking Leroy for such a big tough guy talking about your feelings really makes you uneasy"
"I hate talking about my mistakes Diane"
"I was a mistake"?
"Well divorce usually means you did something wrong, but I'm not taking the blame for everything"
"I know Leroy can I ask you a question"?
"Sure"?
"Do you still have those nightmares about Shannon, and Kelly"?
"Sometimes but usually I work on my boat, and than I fall asleep downstairs, and when I wake up it is time to go to work"
"You don't sleep in your bed why"?
"To many bad memories"
"I shared that bed with you Leroy I remember some good ones"
"Me too but I don't like sleeping in there"
"Why don't you lock your door you work for NCIS you seen so much anything could happen. I know you make a lot of enemies, and anyone can come in , and steel your stuff, or worse harm you"
"Don't have much I'm worried about just my photos, and my boat, and I'm positive no one will steal my boat"
"Can I see it after dinner"?
"Sure it should be here soon". They talked for a few moments, than someone knocked at the door, and Leroy ran over paying the delivery guy, and shut the door. He brought the food in while Diane grabbed the plates. Leroy looked over she was still beautiful, and her body was amazing, and he hated having those types of feelings. He looked away, and Diane brought the plates over while he got the food out of the bag. They were eating, and talking, and she felt so relaxed with him. She missed Victor, but being with Leroy felt like out times. She remembered the first time they met. She was dating another NCIS member, and she saw Leroy from across the room, and her heart stopped for a moment. It wasn't that he was so handsome, but his eyes drew her in, and that night they went home together, and she was a little ashamed to admit she made love, and they dated for a few months, than they married. They were real happy but everything changed the long hours gone for days, and him being so dedicated to his job got to her. She was even jealous of his past with Shannon, and Kelly. He dreamed about them almost every night, and it made her angry. She felt bad it was more her fault than his she demanded attention, and he couldn't give her the attention she need so she lashed out, and the fights got worse, and she knew she couldn't take it anymore, and either could he. It was affecting his job, and they called it quits but she got her revenge by clearing out his bank account, and taking the most important thing from him his Grandfather's watch. She hated that she did that it just proved how cold she was. She wished she could go back, and do things over. Leroy is the only man she truly loved, she cared for Tobias, but not like she loved Leroy. She did love Victor but he was more of a crutch, she hated being alone. The one good thing in her life was Emily, but she wished Leroy was her Father, but Tobias was great with her.
Leroy touched her hand, "Why are you not eating"?
"My mind is going all over the place"
"Eat before it gets cold"
She smiled, and she laughed Jethro was eating he was starving, and he loved Chinese food too. That was both their passion Chinese food, and making love , she blushed thinking about their lovemaking it was steamy to say the least. Her Shannon Leroy knew how to please a woman, and she missed that but she had to get those thoughts out of her head, and focus on the funeral, and moving on with her life, she hated the thought of being alone, but she knew that probably was his destiny.
To be continued.

Chapter 10
They finished dinner they cleaned up, and Diane said she was going to lay down. She asked Leroy if he wanted to lay beside her it would be fine. He said no he was going to go down, and work on his boat for a while. She walked down the hall, and laid on the bed, she never felt more alone. She reflected on her life, and she hated all the pain, and misery she had , but she wondered what her future would be like now. She couldn't sleep she knew she would dream about Victor, and how he died , and she prayed he didn't suffer, but she knew he probably did. She married men that deal with death, and crime, and murder, and that is why she married Victor thinking he was not a FBI or NCIS agent, and look what happened he was murdered. She finally got out of bed, and thought she would go down, and check on Leroy, but she really just didn't want to be alone.
Leroy was downstairs working on his boat, really trying to block out all the memories that were flying into his head. He was thinking about Shannon, and Kelly, and how much he missed them. He was thinking about the first time he met Diane, and how he thought she was so beautiful, and he loved women with red hair, he never understood it, but he fell for them every time. He knew if Shannon was still alive he would be married to her this moment, and maybe they would have had more children. He loved Kelly, and he wonders everyday what she would have been like. He really did love Diane, but she turned into one nasty person, and when they divorced he was relieved, but he really did love her, and out of all of his wives he really wished it turned out better. He was jealous of Fornell, he was blessed with a beautiful daughter with her, but knowing what happened to Kelly maybe it was better he didn't have another child. He would worry about them all the time they would have had a bodyguard, and what life would that be for a child. He grabbed his drink, and was sipping it, when he heard someone coming down the stairs.
"Diane I thought you were sleeping it is late, you have to get up early tomorrow"
"I know but I can't sleep, I keep thinking about Victor, and how he died, and my past, and I'm scared"
Leroy walked over to her, and whispered, "You are safe here"
"I know but why do you stay down her all night fixing a boat you never get to enjoy"?
"This is my dream one day I will retire, and I will take this boat out, and spend hours on the water, and I will finally find peace"
"All alone wouldn't that be sad, and lonely"?
"I am use to being alone maybe this is how I'm meant to be"
"You don't believe that do you"?
"Yes I lost Shannon, and Kelly, and I married three times, and none of my marriages work. I have had ladies that I really liked, and they would have married me , or moved in, but I didn't want to ruin their lives too. I love my job, and I'm going retire if I don't die first, and than maybe I will enjoy life again"
"Can I ask you a serious question, and I want a honest answer even if you think it will hurt me"
"Oh God Diane don't do this"
"Did you really love me, and would you ever give me another chance to make things right, I love you Leroy, I always have, and I have regretted walking out on you, and I regret that I didn't understand your love for your dead wife, and child. I know now what losing a child would feel like, I love Emily more than anything. I can't imagine what you went through but I need someone in my life, and if I didn't blow it all those years ago maybe we would still be together. Just tell me Leroy is their a chance that we could get back what we had before the fighting, and all the nasty cruel words, and the wasted years. I need to know do we have a chance Leroy, can you ever forgive me"?
Leroy was stunned, and for the first time in years he was speechless listening to Diane, he didn't know what to say, and he knew he hated being alone, but could they work out their problems, and start over? He wanted to grab her, and say yes, but part of him was scared to death, but it wasn't because of the divorce, and all the heartache it was because he was afraid he would be hurt again, but he also knew he was tired of being alone, and looking at Diane right now all the past was a blank. He was looking into the future, and for the first time he pictured Diane on the boat with him, and that made him smile really smile for the first time in months.

Story by Jennifer, and Jessie Written by Jessie
Chapter 11
Leroy changed the subject he didn't want to talk about his personal feelings, and he knew she was feeling all emotional over the loss of Victor. He told her to go up, and get some sleep, and he was going to stay up for awhile. Diane went upstairs, and went to her room, and after a little while she finally drifted off asleep.
Gibbs was working on his boat for hours, and finally went upstairs, and laid on the couch, and fell asleep. His body was like an alarm clock he woke up at 6am, that was the normal time he got up when he went to work. He walked to the kitchen, and started the percolator, and walked to the front door, and grabbed the newspaper. He sat down just as Diane came into the kitchen.
"Did you even go to bed Leroy"?
"Yeah I got 2 hours sleep, I couldn't really sleep so I worked on my boat"
Diane grabbed 2 mugs, and poured some coffee, and brought it over to the table.
"Would you like something to eat Leroy"?
"No but you should have something"
"My stomach is a little upset"
"That is understandable, it will be hard but I'm here for you"
"I know Leroy he doesn't have family his parents died years ago. I called a few of his friends, but I know he would want a quiet funeral"
Leroy, and Diane drank their coffee, and Diane got up saying she was going to take a shower, and get ready. The service was at 10am, and than the burial"
"You go shower than I will". Diane walked down the hall, and Leroy put the mugs in the sink when the phone rang. Leroy grabbed it, and said, "Gibbs"
"Jethro it is Duck"
"Hi Duck what is up"?
"I just wanted to let you know we are coming to the service, and than we will go back to work. I really admire you Jethro being there for your Ex that must be hard"
"Not really"
"You don't mind us coming do you"?
"You don't have to but Diane would appreciate it, Victor didn't have much family"
"Take care Jethro see you there"
"Bye Duck" He hung up the phone, and went over, and started to read the paper. He was not good at emotions, he normally kept to himself, and never let people into his private life, not even his wives it is no wonder he has 3 Ex wives. He loved to focus on his job, and try to forget all the pain of his past. He has lost so much in his life, but the biggest loss was his Daughter Kelly. He thinks about her everyday wondering what she would be like, would she be like her Mother or more like him. He hated that he was cheated out of a life as a Father, he loved her dearly, and he loved her Mother, and he would have done anything for them. He left them to go do his job, and the last thing he remembered was Kelly holding on to him telling him to stay, and Shannon pulling her back saying he would be home soon. That was the last day he saw them alive, and the memory of Kelly crying killed him inside. He knew he didn't let her down, but his heart felt like he did. He was cold inside, and it was hard to let anyone close because he knew he could lose them too. He knew he had to focus , and help Diane, and than see where it went. He didn't know if he could let her back in his life because he knew he was a failure in love, and he knew it was his own fault because no woman compared to Shannon, but he had to admit Diane came close that is why it hurt so much when they split.
Diane walked into the kitchen, and Leroy got up.
"I will jump in the shower be out soon". He walked down the hall as Diane sat at the kitchen table just thinking about today she missed Victor so much, she hated that he died so horrible, it just wasn't fair.

Chapter 12
Leroy came out of the bedroom, and was dressed for the funeral.
"Leroy you are ready, we should get going, we have to be there early"
"Lets go Diane". They left the house, and drove to the funeral home. They went inside the service was being held there. Diane went in, and they asked her if she wanted to spend some alone time with Victor. She turned to Leroy, and whispered, "I'm going in, I need some alone time you understand right"?
"Yes I understand I will be right out here Diane". She followed the funeral Director into the room, and he shut the door.
Gibbs walked outside he hated Funeral homes, he needed some air. He was standing outside when he saw Abby, and Duck walk up to him.
"Gibbs how are you"?
"Fine Abs it was nice that you came today"
"I wanted to come for you Gibbs"
He smiled as he turned to Duck.
"Hey Duck"
"Jethro where is your Ex"?
"She is visiting with Victor"
"Oh how awful for her she must be devastated" Abby said, and he whispered, "She is but she is holding up, but today will be hard for her, and Emily"
Fornell walked over, "Gibbs"
"Fornell"
Emily smiled, "Hello Mr. Gibbs"
"Your Mother is in there with Victor maybe you should go in, and be with her"
"How is she Mr. Gibbs"?
"OK Emily , and remember call me Leroy"
"OK Leroy thanks for being here for my Mom. She is tough but not that tough she doesn't really show her emotions real well"
"Oh I remember differently"
"Oh don't get me wrong my Mom has a bad temper, but she holds in her true feelings, and I know she is hurting, but you helping her must mean the world to her"
"Emily I will help her but I bet the only person she wants right now is you". Emily smiled, and went inside, and Fornell whispered, "Thanks Gibbs"
"She is a good kid you are one lucky guy Fornell"
"Yes I am she is amazing"
"You all can go in the service should be starting soon. I just needed some air, but I will be in soon".
Abby, Ducky, and Fornell walked inside. He saw Tony's car drive in, and Ziva, Tony, and McGee got out. They walked over, they shook his hand, and he said thanks for coming. There was a few of Victors friends there, but not many, things happened so fast, Diane couldn't reach them all. He went inside with them , and they took their seats. Diane, and Emily came out, and sat in front of them.
The service was nice, the Minister said some prayers, and nice words, and they played Victors favourite song. They all watched as the coffin was taken out, and taken to the hearse, and they went outside, and they all drove to the cemetery. There was a few words spoken by the Minister, and Diane at the cemetery, and they all threw a flower on the coffin. They were walking to the car, they were having a small lunch at a local church. Gibbs walked Diane to his car, and told the others where the lunch was. They all drove over, Leroy didn't know what to say to Diane, so he was quiet. She looked over, and whispered, "The service was lovely don't you think Leroy"?
"It was nice Diane"
"Emily was amazing she really cared for Victor, but they were not that close"
"Emily is amazing Diane you, and Tobias are so lucky"
"We are I know you must look at her, and wonder what Kelly would be like"
" I think about Shannon, and Kelly everyday, but the only solace is they are together"
"You will see them one day Leroy"
"Maybe not I have done some stuff I'm not proud of "
"The good stuff outweighs the bad Leroy you will see them again"
"I hope so Diane" She smiled at him as they drove into the restaurant.
