First ;)

Oh, what a shocker ;) Okay, I already knew what was going to happen. Sort of ... But it was still a shock to learn that Jethro wasn't there when Jen was pregnant with Liz. I never really thought about it and assumed that this stories are placed so far in the future that she got pregnant after becoming director ... but it makes so much more sense the way you wrote it.

I liked it. I really, really liked it. Loved it. And the cliffhanger is bad ;) Hope you will work on that sequel soon.

Oh, and one tiny thing (if this is allowed): I don't think Jenny was a liaison officer with Mossad. She could've been a liaison agent with NCIS working together with Mossad (like Ziva, only the other way around - and agent instead of officer, because NCIS has agents and Mossad has officers ...) ;)

Wow... not what I was expecting. It was lots happier news than I was expecting. I thought she was sick, and she's just expecting a baby. Whew! Great story, and now I'm curious as to what her decision is going to be. Although the ending seemed to be done in true Bellisariso fashion, leaving us hanging to make our own ending.

Well done!

[marciafan]

Aww, I'd never make Jenny sick! Well, I did in one fic...very sad fic that I wrote to try and get out of the denial I was (and still am) living in. But that only made me realize that living in denial is so much better lol!

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad the cliffhanger got you curious, that means I did it right! A sequel will be coming, hopefully soon!

[blood_red_alibi]

Well, at least here in Denial I seem to have good company. I can't wait for the next part(s?). And may I just say that I adore your banner.

[marciafan]

I'll try and have more part (hopefully parts lol) ready soon!

And thank you very much!! I made that one a long time ago, but I still use it ever so often because I just love it ♥

[marciafan]

Thank you, Nici-pedia *hugs* I changed it to "liaison agent for NCIS", does that work? *is unsure

[nicis_anatomy]

You're welcome. It was just a tiny thing I thought I could mention ;) I think liaison agent is good. Just liaison would work, too.

Yeah, and as already mentioned on twitter: I had no idea. You never told me about the backstory or that you are writing it. That's why I was a bit shocked and confused when Jen told him he hadn't been with her the first time around ;) But I like the idea and it makes sense *nods*

Oh, I like cliffhanger - and since I have already some ideas of how Jenny will decide I can wait. Not too long but for a while. And I'm not mad at you ;)

[marciafan]

Omg, I was so sure I'd told you about the backstory! But I'm glad you liked it, though =)

The original story with Elizabeth is very slowly but surely coming along, but I want to have it all ready before I start posting it.
