Davis is waiting. It's been a long few months, getting Jenny through the stresses of this pregnancy, but she also has a feeling the tides are turning. It isn't about Jenny being happier, but about being just a little bit more stable. Jenny's looking her in the eye more, responding more, and she's even seen a smile or two. But she's treading

It's never a waiting game with Jenny, although she often feels the weight of the day on her shoulders as the session approaches. Jenny is by nature one of her more exhausting clients and this twist of her pregnancy only makes things harder for her patient to heal. Where as many women were able to find joy in pregnancy, Jenny's fears only exacerbate ( Read more... )

Even therapists lose patience and Davis isn't too thrilled. Jenny had promised to schedule another session and weeks had gone by. Almost to the point of her violating some rule about her post-suicide-attempt care. Davis hadn't raised a flag simple because she knew Jenny would call if needed and adjusting to life as a pregnant woman wasn't easy. ( Read more... )

There's somehow a lighter feeling about this appointment, but Davis doesn't trust that feeling. Not yet. She's going off the last phone call, and the fact there hasn't been another one, but she is hoping things are getting easier for her client.

She's in her usual place, but this time there is more of an air of expectancy. Today, she has no doubt what they will be discussing. No question whatsoever. So she waits for Jenny to come in. She isn't sure what Jenny's choices will have been, if anything, and she isn't sure if this will be a good thing to move her forward or set her back years in

Despite his cool head, Marshall could get pissed off on a regular basis. He channeled it differently at different times - sometimes into origami, sometimes into target shooting, sometimes into nerd-dom. Tonight, he stared blankly at the internet, debating doing something stupid like activating a twitter account, so he could take to the anonymous ( Read more... )

As with the last time, Davis is ready when Jenny walks in. This time she has more medical research backing her up and despite having the information ready to share, she doesn't plan to. Not yet. Jenny is still going to be hurting from the last time and they still have work to do.

Jenny missed one session, which didn't surprise her in the least. When the emotions are ripped free and healing rather than being tucked inside, people always ran. But that she came back meant the healing was really beginning. Like with last time, Jenny is the last session of the day and her evening is clear, so if this runs long, there's no ( Read more... )

He's sitting in the lobby when she arrives, entourage of guards behind her. Not only is she the director of NCIS, but of course, as heavily pregnant as she is, she requires an extra agent to carry her bags. The Queen of the Federal System is as arrogant as she is falsely wanting. How long can she pull this off, heavily laden and tripped up with the ( Read more... )
