Changes Missing Moments

Ok here is the next part in my Changes series. This will be missing moments from the original story. They will be in no particular order, simply when an idea pops into my head.

I am also willing to take prompts for things you as my readers would like to have seen in the story.

It will be M rated just in case I decide to drop in some adult material.

I will start off on a few moments from the first few chapters to fill in a bit of background.

Callen was happy that MacKenna allowed him to stay and eat the food he had brought over. He wasn't too sure she wouldn't just slam the door in his face. Figuring out that she was a foster kid helped him bridge a gap between them.

They talked mostly about work and the team. Callen filled her in on some of the team quirks. How Eric and Nell liked each other but hadn't really made a move yet. He told her how he and Sam became partners.

Mac told him about moving around a lot in the job. She confided in him that she hated it. Hated the constant change and having to deal with the agents she was paired with not really wanting her there.

"I still think you should talk to Hetty about staying on here."

"If I thought it would work I would. I like LA It's nice not dealing with cold and snow."

"Well if you stayed here you could get a better place." Callen looked around. The place was empty except for the couch and a small table. She didn't even have a tv or radio.

"It's not the best place but I've lived in worse."

"Really?" Callen teased.

"Smart ass." Said Mac and laughed at him over her beer bottle. Callen shook his head at her and smiled.

Finally Callen decided he should head home.

On the way out he stopped. "Just so you know Kensi has a massive sweet tooth. Twinkies and donuts are her favorites."

"Thanks for the info." Mac smiled at him and Callen felt his stomach drop. Her hair was piled up in some messy kind of bun and she was wearing old worn NCIS sweats but she looked amazing.

He gave her one more look over and left. Once he was in his car he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. He didn't need this complication in his life. He didn't date cops for a reason. An image of green eyes came into his head and he shuddered. Driving away he promised himself he would not fall for her.

Mac closed the door and sighed. She had almost fell over when she saw Callen standing on the other side of the door. She had to admit his bringing food and beer was a nice idea. Mac wasn't used to the people she worked with wanting to spend time with her outside of work. Most didn't want to be near her at work either.

She cleaned up the empty containers and put the undrunk beer in the fridge. Dropping to the couch she grabbed the pillow that was there and hugged it to her chest. It smelled like him. Mac buried her face in it and took a deep breath. This could not be happening. She could not fall for G Callen. No way no how.

Tossing the pillow across the room she stood up and looked around her apartment. It was one of those short term places with a rented couch and small kitchen table. In the bedroom she had a simple air mattress. There wasn't any point in getting a real bed she wouldn't be here long enough.

Mac turned the lights off and headed to bed. Tomorrow she would try and get Kensi to at least want to put up with her.

Stopping at the bakery she ran in and found that they were just putting out fresh hot donuts. Mac asked for a mixed dozen and hoped they stayed warm till she got there. The woman went into the back and the box she was handed was piping hot. Oh yeah they would still be warm in a half hour.

Callen hadn't been kidding about Kensi and donuts. She ate three before everyone else had eaten one. Seriously how did she eat like that and look the way she did. Mac had to run every day to keep from gaining any extra weight.

Mac was eating her donut and could feel Callen watching her. It was a bit creepy but if he wanted to stare he could. They spent the day doing paperwork and training. Sam and Kensi left first when the day was over. Mac stood and started to put her things in her bag.

"I was wondering if you would like to get dinner?" Mac looked over at Callen. He had his hands in his jacket pockets and was waiting for her to answer.

"Ok."

Callen looked relieved. Mac noticed Hetty watching them and quickly headed for the door. "I'll drive the place isn't far from here."

"Sounds good."

They were half way there when his phone rang. Callen talked to Kensi then switched direction and headed to Deeks apartment. He filled Mac in on the drive there. After finding Deeks safe and handing him over to Kensi, Callen drove to a small Italian place nearby. Mac kept giving him side glances.

"Let me explain. When Kensi first met Deeks they were both undercover. I may have teased her that she liked Deeks and his fluffy hair."

"So now she's getting even with you?"

"Yes."

Mac laughed and shrugged.

They talked more about being in foster care. Callen found out that Mac had ended up with a foster family that were retired NCIS agents. She had stayed with them for three years. The longest she had ever been in one home. After she had aged out she went to college and studied Criminology then joined NCIS.

He told her about being with the DEA, and CIA before joining NCIS. Callen found it easy to talk to her and they really did have a lot in common. Both spoke Russian and Romanian. Both liked oatmeal cookies without raisins.

It was getting late and Callen offered to drop Mac off at her place and ride her to work the next day.

"Really Callen you can just take me back to my car."

"It's closer to your place then work. I really don't mind."

Callen pulled up in front of her place and offered to walk her up to her door. She said no and he felt his heart drop.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Said Mac and then she was gone. Callen realized he was a goner. Those eyes would haunt his dreams that night.
