Labels Do Not Matter...
In a world of boxes, neatly defined, Where labels are placed, and hearts are confined, We rise above, where true feelings dwell, For love knows no boundaries, it casts a spell.
You are not just a name, nor a title to wear, In the depths of your eyes, I find solace and care. No categories can hold what we truly feel, Our hearts speak a language, profound and real.
Through whispers and laughter, through joy and through tears, We build our own world, beyond doubts and fears. In the tapestry woven with threads of the heart, Each moment we share, a beautiful art.
So let them all talk, let them try to define, What we have is sacred, a bond so divine. For labels do not matter, they fade in the light, What matters is love, pure and bright.

"Too many times we try and put labels on everything, define what we have, this just complicates matters, what we should be doing is living in the moment, enjoying every minute..."

NCIS Season 20: Episode 4 - Leave No Trace (Jimmy & Jessica)
We try so hard...
We try so hard to put the past behind us so rightly where it belongs, however we have a subconscious mind that can start playing tricks and mess with our heart.
I think this can be more so when we start to try and label what we have, labels like:
Boyfriend
Girlfriend
Partner
Couple
Relationship
Together
Using these labels can subconsciously can bring up past bad memories from previous relationships. Where if we just stopped labelling everything and just be in the moment...
This is where mindfulness can actually help us, as mindfulness practises encourages us to stop labelling things and just experience the whole experience through the feelings of the moment.
As part of a mindfulness walk that I lead we encourage you not to label the things that you hear and see, just enjoy the moment and immerse yourself in the full experience of sight, sounds and smells...
This is what we should be doing with everything including our relationships and free ourselves from the past, our subconscious minds and just enjoy being in the moment... because if we keep letting our subconscious minds rule, we will continually retreat away from the things and the people that make us so happy...

You can't go back and change the beginning,

but you can start where you are and change the ending...

stop labelling...
NCIS - Jimmy Palmer & Jessica Knight
Movie Night

alden parker x reader
(Y/N)’s week sucked to say the least. First, her landlord announced they would be raising her rent, like a lot. So, she’s put a little bit more thought behind turning her hobby into a side hustle. Second, her car battery died. So, she’s been getting a ride from Jimmy to work. She felt bad about Jimmy having to pick her up for work, but Jimmy said it was fine, how he’d do anything to help a friend. Third, she found out that Torres had eaten all of her secret snack stash she keeps hidden in one of her desk drawers. So when her friend, and the man she was secretly crushing on, Parker, invited her over for a movie night, she could not have said yes faster.
He offered to pick her up, and she was beyond grateful. (Y/N) felt like she was in high school again, asking for a ride to go hang out with her friends. She wasn’t sure how to dress. Should she go jeans and a nice shirt? Or sweats? She ultimately decided to go for a comfy pair of gray sweatpants, and a long-sleeve crop-top. Not too dressy, not too casual. ‘Ding!’ She checked her phone, and saw a text from Parker, saying he was close by. She put on her shoes and was reaching for her bag when she heard her doorbell ring.
She was happy she went with sweats after all, as Parker was wearing his light grey hoodie and a pair of jeans. “Ready, milady?” he asked her, a small grin forming. “Absolutely, my good sir.” The ride to his place was filled with mostly laughter, from their shared movie opinions. Part of why (Y/N) was nervous was because during the ride to his place, she realized she had never hung out with just him. It’s always been a group thing at his place, they’ve never had time alone together. The other part was just because she didn’t want to say the wrong thing and make things awkward. She has a tendency to do that sometimes.
“Wow” (Y/N) said as she made her way into the greenhouse. Even though she’s been in the greenhouse before, it still took her breath away. From the various shades of green everywhere to the warm, inviting lights all around the room. “So what did you want to watch, Parker?” (Y/N) said to Parker, who was in the kitchen getting snacks and drinks. “Call me Alden outside of work, and I don’t know. What do you want to watch?” “I’m good with anything.” (Y/N) replied. He came back into the greenhouse with a variety of snacks and some drinks.
“In the car you mentioned you used to watch ‘I Love Lucy’ when you were a kid. How ‘bout that?” “Sure Alden, that sounds great. Thank you for tonight. I needed the escape.” (Y/N) said, trying not to stress about everything that had happened this past week. “Sure, (Y/N), anytime.” They sat down on the couch, and started watching the first episode. During the next few episodes, she wanted to move closer to him, but didn’t want to make it obvious. They were only sitting a cushion apart, so there wasn’t any extra space between the two. Should she pretend she was cold and see what his reaction would be? ‘Does that actually work?’ she thought.
Luckily though, she didn’t have to overthink it, as he draped his arm over her shoulder and brought her as close as he could. She tried to ignore the instant butterflies in her stomach as she settled even further into his arms. They then spent the next several hours watching season after season of I Love Lucy. At one point, she gently laid her head down on his shoulder when she was starting to doze off during an episode. She was beyond relieved when he didn’t push her away. They only turned the TV off when the clock reached 1 am.
“Did you want to go home? Or did you want to spend the night?” he asked her, but quickly followed with, “That’s not what I meant, um, I mean, did you want to sleep at home or stay on the couch?” His face was growing redder by the second. “Here’s fine, if that’s okay. It’s a comfy couch.” (Y/N) replied, with a smile forming on her face, gazing up into his warm, kind eyes. He pulled her close to him and gently kissed her cheek, and said, “Thank you for coming over for movie night, (Y/N).” “Thank you for having me.” (Y/N) replied, as she drifted off to sleep. She fell asleep to the feeling of him softly drawing circles on her hip, and the rhythm of his heartbeat.
Baby Box (pt. 2)

I don’t have kids, so I hope this works
(Y/N) had told Alden they’re expecting last week. They were on the fence about telling the team so soon, but the two of them were just so excited they couldn’t keep it to themselves any longer. Alden tried to not be noticeably even more affectionate than normal. There are times when all he wanted to do was keep a hand on her stomach, but it would completely give it away. There are times when all (Y/N) wanted to do was blurt out at random that they’re expecting. They weren’t sure how to tell the team (which is more like a family) for a few days, but (Y/N) came up with the idea of gathering everyone in the bullpen, and telling them then.
The day came to tell the team. When they got to the bullpen, (Y/N) texted Director Vance, asking if he could come to the bullpen for a minute. Alden texted Jimmy and Ducky, asking the same thing. When everyone was gathered around, Alden started off by saying, “Thank you all for coming. You’re probably wondering why we asked you all here. Um, (Y/N) and I found out some news recently and we wanted to tell you as soon as possible.” (Y/N) and Alden kept their expressions as neutral as they could, even fooling Jessica into thinking they had received bad news. (Y/N) took over by saying, “The news we found out recently is that I’m pregnant!” Alden’s hand immediately flew to her stomach out of habit.
Cheers erupted from everyone in the office, and they were just about tackled by Kasie with hugs. In the crowd, they could hear questions like, “How long have you known?” “What are you going to name it?” “Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl yet?” “Okay, okay, one at a time!” (Y/N) said, with a smile that could rival the sun. Torres spoke first, “How long have you known?!” “We found out last week.” Alden said, with a smile of his own, his hand still on her stomach. Kasie piped up next, “What do you have for names yet?!” “We’re not sure yet, but I’m sure we’ll think of some soon.” (Y/N) replied, now softly drawing circles on Alden’s hand that was on her stomach. “Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?” Tim asked before anyone else. “Either one, honestly. We’re going to love it no matter what.” (Y/N) and Alden just about replied in unison.
They then spent the next several minutes receiving hugs from Ducky (who was excited that he would be a Grandducky again), Jimmy (who was already recommending various things), Tim (who was excited he’d be an uncle again), Jessica (who was already volunteering to buy all the snacks (Y/N) could ever want), Kasie (who was already calling herself “Aunt Kasie”), Torres (who was already volunteering for babysitting duties), and Director Vance (who was congratulating them both). Alden has always loved (Y/N), and now he loves their baby even more. Yes, he was nervous about being a father in his 50s, but he knew he could do it with (Y/N) by his side.
That Peach Dress

alden parker x reader
Finally, girls night. (Y/N) had been looking forward to girls night with Jessica and Kasie for the last week. She even went shopping for a new dress, just for the occasion. She tried 3 different stores before she found the dress she wanted. When she first saw it in the display window, she made a beeline for the rack where the dresses were, and found the last one in her size. She immediately tried it on, and felt like a supermodel. The dress was much shorter than she was used to wearing, but she knew she looked hot. She cringed a little when she looked at the price tag, but she did just get paid extra for overtime and hazard pay. So if this is how she wants to spend her money, then on an expensive dress it shall be.
Last weekend they were supposed to go out, but Kasie canceled last minute, and halfway through, Jessica got food poisoning. (Y/N) stayed with Jessica to make sure she was okay, and Jessica felt so bad for ruining the night. (Y/N) was a smidge disappointed in the direction the night went, but (Y/N) ultimately wanted to make sure her friend was okay. So this girls night, everyone was ready and excited. (Y/N) had styled her hair into a high ponytail and curled the bottom section of her hair. She kept her makeup relatively simple, with a winged liner, some bronzer, and a nude lip. The finishing touches to her look was a diamond choker Kasie had given her as a gift, and silver heels.
Jessica had texted her saying her and Kasie were on their way. She couldn’t wait for the night to begin. But unfortunately, crime never stops, not even on a girls night. ‘Ding dong!’ (Y/N)’s doorbell sounded off, and thinking it was the girls, she said, “Damn bitch, you got here fast!” But when she opened the door, it was not the girls, it was Alden Parker. Her boss, and the man she had been in love with since he took over from Gibbs as team lead. (Y/N) instantly froze, and so did Parker. Never in a million years did he think he would see her dressed in something so provocative, yet there she was standing at her door, with eyes as wide as can be. “What’s up?” (Y/N) barely managed to squeak out. “We got a case. I thought I’d save some time and pick you up on the way there.” Parker replied, trying not to make it obvious that he really liked the outfit she was wearing.
“Sounds good, um, let me just change and I’ll be back in a minute.” (Y/N) said, swiftly making her way back to her bedroom to change, and trying to avoid eye contact with Parker. While she changed clothes into something a little more work-appropriate, she also texted Kasie and Jessica to let them know girls night was canceled. When she emerged from her bedroom, she could barely make eye contact with Parker. Needless to say, the drive to the crime scene was quiet, as well as the banter between the two, which was not the norm. The first thing that Torres said when he saw (Y/N) was, “Damn, (Y/N), you look hot!” “Thanks, Nick.” (Y/N) replied, trying to pretend like the last 35 minutes didn’t happen. What (Y/N) failed to notice when she was walking to ask Jimmy what he had found, was the jealous look in Parker’s eyes when Torres had commented on (Y/N)’s outfit.
The outfit (Y/N) had changed into was a pair of black jeans, black boots, and a black denim jacket. She made the dress into a shirt by tucking the extremely short hem into her jeans. Kasie and Jessica had said something along the lines of, “Damn, look at you, (Y/N)! You look hot!” mirroring what Torres had said earlier that night. Parker couldn’t stop staring at (Y/N), no matter how hard he tried. He kept thinking about the way she looked in that peach dress. How tight and figure-hugging it was. How the cowl neck made her cleavage look even more inviting than normal. How the hem of the dress made her legs look a mile long. God, he couldn’t stop thinking about her legs. How smooth and silky they looked.
He was able to keep it together for the rest of the night (somehow), and by morning, (Y/N) was able to make eye contact with him again. (Y/N) decided at one point to go up to him and explain why she was dressed like that. “Sorry you had to see me like that, Parker. It was supposed to be girls night, but then you came to the door, and everything happened.” “No! Um, it’s okay. I gathered that’s why you had on that dress, and you don’t have to explain anything to me.” Parker replied, still blushing at the thought of how damn fine she looked in the dress. “Thanks Parker, I appreciate it.” (Y/N) said. “Alden, call me Alden.”
Halloween Costumes

alden parker x reader
This is for all my southern gals, hope you like it!
“I’m sorry to ask you this last minute, but would you mind taking Victoria trick-or-treating for me this Friday?” Jimmy asked (Y/N). “Of course Jimmy! I love Victoria, she’s like the sweetest kid I’ve ever met.” (Y/N) replied. “Thanks, (Y/N), I was hoping I’d be able to finish this case in time, but with the newest body we found… it’s not looking good.” “Anytime, Jimmy. Plus, I think she’ll like my costume.” (Y/N) replied, happy she has an excuse to dress up for Halloween. “Ooh, what’s your costume? Unless it’s a surprise.” Jimmy said. “Nah, you’re good. I think I’m going as Cowgirl Barbie.” “Oh, nice. Victoria says her’s is a surprise. She won’t tell me what it is.” Jimmy replied. “I’ll take pictures for you. Do you want me to pick her up and we can get ready here at NCIS?” (Y/N) asked. “That would be awesome, thank you.” Jimmy replied, grateful for his friend.
~time skip to Friday~
“Hey, (Y/N), got any plans for tonight?” Jessica asked. “Yeah actually, I do. I’m taking Victoria trick-or-treating for Jimmy.” (Y/N) said. “Aww, cute! Are you dressing up?” Jessica asked. (Y/N) wasn’t sure if she should tell her friend the truth, but ultimately decided to. “Yeah, I am.” “Ooh, what are you going as?” Jessica asked, taking a sip of coffee. “It’s a surprise.” (Y/N) said, not wanting to be judged for her costume. “You have no idea, do you?” Jessica asked, wanting (Y/N) to reveal her costume. “No, I do… I just don’t want to be made fun of for it.” “I’m not going to make fun of you for it. I promise.” Jessica said. “Fine, it’s Cowgirl Barbie.” (Y/N) said, waiting for the laughter to begin. “Like from the new Barbie movie? That’s cute. It's so you.” Jessica said, trying to hold back her laughter at her friend’s choice in costume. “Thanks.” (Y/N) said, relieved her friend didn’t laugh in her face like she expected. “Plus, Parker loves hearing your accent peak through. So imagine the look on his face when he sees you in it.” Jessica said, ending with a wink.
(Y/N) did have a crush on her boss, but she didn’t think he felt the same. But after what Jessica said, she was starting to wonder if her feelings were as one-sided as she thought. ‘Does he really like my accent?’ (Y/N) thought to herself. After a few hours, (Y/N) picked up Victoria as promised and brought her to NCIS. “Hey, what’s up Victoria?” Nick said when he spotted Victoria and (Y/N) exiting the elevator. “Hi, Uncle Nick. (Y/N)’s taking me trick-or-treating tonight!” “What are you dressing up as, Victoria?” Nick asked. “It’s a surprise, Uncle Nick.” Victoria replied. “Wow, you’re not even going to tell your favorite uncle?” Nick said, feigning offense. “Come on, (Y/N), let’s get ready!” Victoria said, grabbing (Y/N)’s hand.
(Y/N) and Victoria went down to Kasie’s lab to get ready for the night ahead of them. As they came back to the bullpen (after taking photos with Kasie for Jimmy), they heard a myriad of ‘wows’ and ‘I love it’ coming from the team. Victoria came out first, showing off her Tinkerbell costume. After about a minute, (Y/N) came out and heard almost the same thing from the team, minus the “Wow you look so pretty” from Nick. He did whistle though, making (Y/N) glad she chose that particular costume. The costume consisted of a vest, flared pants, and a matching cowboy hat, all in the same shade of Barbie pink.
Parker wasn’t there when they came out to show off their costumes, as he was asking Jimmy for an update on the case. But what he saw when he came back up the stairs, he’ll never forget. (Y/N) was sitting at her desk, feet resting on her desk, showing off her brown cowboy boots. She was pretending to talk on the phone, while Nick took a photo of her. ‘So this was the mystery costume…wow. She looks great. It's so her.’ Parker thought. He was starting to wonder why she was dressed up. Yes, it was Halloween, but people don’t dress up at NCIS very much. He didn’t have to wonder for very long, as he spotted Victoria in her costume.
Victoria and (Y/N) took photos with the team, as promised to Jimmy. When it was time to take a picture with Parker, (Y/N) started feeling even more nervous than she was already feeling about the entire situation. Parker didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable, so he asked if he could put his hand on her waist. He wasn’t expecting her to say “Sure, Alden.” She didn’t just call him “Parker”, but “Alden”. (Y/N) wouldn’t admit it to anyone, but she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of his hand on her waist. She often wondered how gentle his touch would be. Every thought and every daydream had nothing on the real thing.
Earlier when she was getting ready with Victoria, she briefly wondered if Parker would find it adorable or weird. ‘Please be adorable.’ (Y/N) thought. Little did she know, he really liked the way she looked in that costume. He didn’t want to make it obvious, but he couldn’t tear his beautiful hazel green eyes away from the sway of her hips as she walked with Victoria to the elevator. But he forgot for a moment that he works with extremely intelligent individuals who can read human behavior like there’s no tomorrow. So him trying not to be obvious didn’t quite work out the way he wanted it to.
“So Parker, what’d you think of (Y/N)’s costume?” Torres said, with a smirk forming on his face. Parker knew he wouldn’t stop being teased by the team, but he was okay with it because he had hope that one day (Y/N) will feel the same. Little did he know, she already did.
NCIS
High achiever, don't you see?



Baby, nothing comes for free

They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed

Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away


It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide


And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die

Timothy Mcgee × Eleanor Bishop × Jimmy Palmer, Tony Dinozzo × Abby Scuito × Ziva David × Jacqueline Sloane × Leroy Jethro Gibbs × Mike Franks × Jenny Shepard.

I'm gonna be just like you

No matter what you say I can't do

I'll follow you until the day

I could smile at you and say

Big brother Ducky I'm just like you

I’ve never written for him before but, I have a little idea featuring Jimmy Palmer that I really want to write
Silver Fox
Author: The Crime Files
Summary: The team, including Parker, find out about your little crush on him.
Main character(s): Alden Parker, Timothy McGee, Nick Torres and Jimmy Palmer
Notes: This my first time writing for Alden Parker so, hopefully it’s okay and you guys like it!
The familiar ding! of the elevator echos throughout the bullpen as you familiarise yourself with the case, trying to find a correlation amidst all the evidence. Perplexed by the witness’s statement, you decide to seek clarification from the senior field agent but with your attention firmly fixed on the file in your hands, you end up walking directly into Alden Parker, the newest addition to the team.
“I-I’m sorry, sir.”
“Don’t be,” he says with a kind-hearted smile. “Flores de hojaldre? It’s a Spanish specialty, translates to ‘flowers of puff pastry’.” He explains, offering you the box filled with the international pastries.
“Thank you, sir.” You accept his generous offer with a sweet smile before remembering your former boss, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and his intense dislike of the use of the word ‘sir’. “I mean, Parker… uh, Agent Parker.”
“You can call me ‘sir’, doesn’t bother me. In fact... I kinda like it.”
His green-tinted eyes, infused with warm golden hues, linger on yours as the ghost of a smirk begins to frame his handsome features, almost hidden beneath the darkened moustache. The intense gaze, along with his playful confession, prompts a subtle shade of vibrant crimson to colour your cheeks before watching him make his way towards Director Vance’s office. As he disappears up the flight of stairs, McGee and Torres turn their attention towards you as they share a knowing glance.
“What,” you ask.
“You've got a crush on the new guy,” teases Torres.
“Just like you did with Gibbs,” adds McGee.
“I... oh my god, is it that obvious?” They both nod, attempting to suppress their laughter.
“Didn’t know you had a type,” McGee continues. “Who’s next, Fornell?” His mischievous smirk grows wider as you hide your face behind your hands, a muffled groan falling from your lips.
“So,” probes Torres. “Why Parker?”
“I don’t know... I mean, he’s smart, he’s got a good sense of humour, he’s sweet...” you gesture to the pastry still in your hand. “Not to mention-”
“He’s old,” interrupts Torres.
“He’s not-”
“Who’s old?”
The familiar voice echoes from behind you as you turn your attention towards the man in question, “Uh, n-no one.” Glaring at the pair of agents, you take a bite of the pastry as Parker watches you, aware of the sudden tension.
“Okay,” he drags the word out awkwardly. “Back to the case... McGee, where are we on our missing naval officer?”
“I’ve put out a BOLO on his car, still waiting to get a hit.”
“Torres?”
“Forensics are running the trace evidence as we speak.”
“Okay, keep me posted. You,” the former FBI agent turns to you before beckoning you to follow him with his index finger. “You’re coming with me.”
“Where are we going?”
“To see Jimmy, hopefully he’s got some answers for us.”
-
Aware of the intimate proximity between Parker and yourself, you allow your attention to focus on the luminescent glow of the buttons as the soft hum of the elevator dominates the silence.
“So,” Parker turns to you with a soft smile. “You wanna tell me what that was all about?”
“Uh... no, sir?” After a moment, a quiet sigh falls from your lips. “How much of that conversation did you actually hear?”
“Not a whole lot but, uh...” the thought ruminating in his mind elicits a quiet chuckle. “This older gentleman, he must be a lucky man.” Something in his voice catches your attention as you slowly turn towards him, meeting his curious gaze.
“It’s you... Alden.” The sound of his name dripping from your lips like sweet honey catches him by surprise, more than the confession itself, as his charming smile grows wider.
“Didn’t know you were interested in older men... in me.” He says, taking a step towards you.
“Alden,” his gaze lingers on your lips for a brief moment as your tongue glides across the soft flesh before the doors of the elevator open, revealing a very excited Dr. Palmer.
“Agent Parker, Agent...” his voice trails off as he glances between the two of you. “I-I’m sorry, am I interrupting something?”
To be continued...
