"Kens, come on, we're going to be late for work again if you don't hurry up." Deeks called up the stairs to her. He checked his watch for what must have been the three hundredth time that morning as he impatiently waited for her to finish up.
"If you don't stop rushing me you're going to be walking to work." Kensi shouted back as she slammed the bathroom door shut. Kensi exhaled trying to get herself together before she went downstairs to join Deeks. She knew how well he knew her, she knew that there wasn't going to be nothing getting by him for long. Taking one last look at herself in the mirror, she headed out.
"At least I make it there before you." He mumbled to himself so she couldn't hear his comment.
Deeks waited for what seemed like hours on Kensi. Finally, when he had given up almost all hope of them making it to work at all today, she came downstairs.
"Ready." She said, grabbing the keys from the table bolting towards the front door.
"Thank God, I'm really tired of being late for work. You cant imagine the things Sam and Callen say to me."
"Oh, I'm sure I can." Kensi said, with an evil grin as they climbed into the SUV.
"Lets stop, and grab breakfast to take into to work." Deeks suggested.
Kensi turned to Deeks, "Oh, you rush me out of the house this morning cause we're going to be late, but now you want to stop and get breakfast? Really?" Kensi questioned.
"The way you drive Kensalina, we wont be late. Hell, we might even be early."
"I'm not hungry." Kensi said.
"Wait. What? Can you say that again?" Deeks teased.
Kensi reached over and slugged Deeks in the shoulder.
"Keep on." Kensi replied.
"Seriously, though are you ok? I noticed you haven't been sleeping again. Kens is it.."
"I'm fine." She said cutting him off. She turned off the highway taking their exit that would lead them to the mission.
"Kens." Deeks reached over and took her hand in his. "What is it sunshine?"
"Nothing." Kensi answered glancing over to Deeks.
Deeks leaned over and kissed her cheek, just as they were pulling up into the parking lot of the Mission. Deeks grabbed Kensi's arm stopping her from opening the driver side door of the SUV.
"Whatever it is Kens, please let me help you. We have been through a lot in a short time, and if this about what happened if this is about…"
"Don't, don't say it. This has nothing to do with that! What happened in Afghanistan is done. Its over, the end. Its been months I'm fine. Can we please leave it at that?" Kensi said harshly.
She hated when Deeks brought up Afghanistan, or anything that had to do with her mission overseas. She knew he wanted to help, she understood, she really did she would have done the samething. She knew what it felt to be shut out, she remembers how much her heart ached when Deeks wouldn't answer her calls, when he didn't come to work. Today it wasn't about this, and Deeks he just wouldn't let things go that easily when he knew something was wrong with her.
"Kens, you never want to talk about things that bother you, you need to, we need to."
"Deeks nothing is bothering me I promise."
"Kensi, I know what you're going through believe me I do. You're the only thing that helped me through it. I just, I just want to be that for you. We have come so far Kens…"
"Deeks." Kensi said in a softer tone.
"No, Kensi don't shut down on me. You always say you're fine and you're not. I know you better then you think."
"I'm pregnant!" Kensi blurted out.
Deeks was stunned into silence at Kensi's words.
"This isn't exactly how I was planning on telling you, but I could get you to shut up." Kensi explained with a smile.
Deeks eyes were automatically drawn down to Kensi stomach. He smiled like an idiot when her words finally sank into his head.
"Whoa! A baby." Deeks said, with a huge grin on his face.
"Yeah, I was going to tell you tonight. I wanted it to be special." She explained.
Deeks had one hand still holding Kensi's, he took his free hand and reached out to her stomach. Using only two fingers he brushed them lightly against her belly. Kensi closed her eyes at the feel of his gentle touch against her skin.
Kensi and Deeks jumped when they heard tapping on the window of the vehicle.
"Are you two coming inside?" Callen asked.
"Yes." Deeks replied to Callen.
He turned his attention back to Kensi, "Its like they have a radar around here to interrupt us at the best possible moments."
"Come on we have to work."
"How am I suppose to work after what you just told me? This is the best news I have ever heard. There is so much I want to ask you." Deeks replied.
"You can ask me anything you want tonight. I promise, as long as you make dinner."
Deeks chuckled, "This is going to be fun." He said opening the door to get out of the SUV.
He waited around the front of the vehicle for Kensi, he reached out for her hand when she had made it around to where he was. She smiled and took his hand as they walked into the mission together.
