A/N: So here is the first chapter.

Ding-dong!

"G." Nell murmured sleepily. He rubbed her hand, passing his finger over the engagement ring he had given her less than 12 hours ago. "I'll get it." He carefully scooted out from underneath her and tucked a blanket around her. He stumbled to the door of her bedroom, pulling his pants on in the process.

He opened the door to a middle-aged couple. "Who are you?" the man asked incredulously.

"G who is it?" Nell ducked under his arm, leaning against him. Then he felt her stiffen. "Mom? Dad? What are you doing here?"

Nell closed the door as Callen put his shirt on. She flung open her closet and pulled on a dress.

"So what's the deal with your parents?" Callen whispered. Nell had shown them in the door and then invited them to sit on the couch and practically dragged him to the bedroom. "I mean, you never talk about them and then suddenly they show up at your door."

"It's a long story. But the run down is they sent me off to boarding school at the age of 10, never called, never wrote, never visited. Even at Christmas. They didn't approve of me accepting the position at NCIS, which only strained our relationship further. I haven't heard from them since I moved. I have no idea what their doing here."

Callen hugged her from behind. "I'm here for you." She sighed. "Thanks."

"Do you want me to leave?"

She shook her head vehemently. "Please stay."

He nodded and kissed her. They walked back out into the living room. Nell eyed her parents warily and sat down on the chair across from the couch. Callen stood behind her and placed his hands on her shoulder.

Awkward silence.

"So, mom, dad. Ummm….this is my fiancé, G Callen."

"Fiancé?" her dad said fiercely.

"Yes. He proposed last night." She couldn't hide the happiness from her voice, even though Callen could detect uneasiness in her posture. "So, what brings you two to L.A.?" Callen asked.

"We wanted to visit our daughter." Nell's mom spoke up.

"Really mom? Why all of a sudden? I haven't even shared a holiday with the two of you since I was nine years old!" Nell's voice shook with anger.

"I know honey. And I'm really sorry about that."

Nell took a deep breath. "Where are the two of you staying?"

"The Galad Inn." her mother said.

Nell's cell phone rang and she glanced at the caller ID before answering.

"Hey Kens." She listened for a moment. "Oh shoot Kens! Sorry, Callen and I overslept, then I got distracted. We'll be there in a few! Oh and I have big news! Tell you when I get there." She ended the call.

"We're late for work." she looked at Callen.

"Sorry mom and dad, we have to run. I'll call you guys later, ok?" Her parents agreed and walked out the door. Callen grabbed his keys.

They rode in silence for a few moments and the Callen spoke up. "Are you ok?" Nell took a deep breath. "I think so. Thanks for being here for me." She squeezed his hand.
