Family portrait

A/N: this little plot bunny struck me when I was attempting to refuse to get out of bed today, it took a promise of two cups of coffee and this idea to not stop bugging me to get me up and now here this is. Completely AU doesn't follow the series at all and yes Mike Renko is alive and Nate is there, both are still at OSP. Squint your eyes and you'll see some Densi and Nallen…. Later I might make it more obvious.

A/N: I don't own the characters just the idea and the coffee.

Kensi hates working in the basement, there is just something seriously weird about the place they hold all the old case files and it gives her the creeps. They had no case load and had done all their paperwork for the last one so they were stuck doing the glorious job of working cold cases, and this time it was her turn to get the files.

Grabbing the first file that she could get her hands on she attempted to run from the room as fast as she could, she knew if Mikey was down here he'd laugh at her discomfort and if it were Deeks he'd make a joke (unless it was just him, then in that case she'd get cuddles). Turning for the door, something caught the corner of her sight placing the box on the floor she moved towards it, it wasn't all that big but it was covered in a cloth. Taking the cloth off she saw that it was just a photo frame, not an empty one, but one with a family portrait in it, the portrait had a few familiar faces so she put the frame on top of her box and carried it up stairs.

"Have fun down there Kens?" Sam teasingly called as she rounded the corner, Kensi just scowled at him and brushed him off. "what you got there Princess" Deeks questioned, Kensi smiled at the endearment but as was custom she had to hit him to keep up the rouse that she didn't like the nicknames he gave her, "call everyone over, even the wonder twins you guys won't believe this" was the only answer she gave, the men she thought of as brothers surrounded her but she covered the frame and said again "call Mike, Nate, Nell and Eric. They need to see this to".

Bouncing on her toes in repressed excitement Kensi held tight to the frame, she couldn't believe what she'd found, they'd always called themselves a family but now they could prove they really were, this photo could open so many doors, G could find out what his name is and Deeks could find his mother and they could be a real family.

"What is so important that you've found that could possibly require the absence of so many of your fellow agents Miss Blye? Am I to assume it has nothing to do with your cold cases from your excitement?" came the strong voice of one Henrietta Lange, nothing could surprise that woman but Kensi thinks she might just have the thing to be the first.

"Stand around, can everyone see?" Kensi asked, with the chorus of "yes's" and nodding of heads Kensi laid the frame flat on her desk and pulled the cloth away from the frame, from the gasps of her friends and family she knew they saw what se saw the moment she'd seen it. "I had no idea" the only words that were spoken were from the operations manager. Kensi knew she was right in that she'd surprised everyone with this but that doesn't matter because they're a family this photograph proves it.

A/N: That's all for now guys, I will be continuing this so don't hate on me too much, next chapter you'll find out who is in the photo so tune in next time. For those reading my Little White Card story I have a new chapter almost complete, again I'm sorry for the wait on that, I have two more finals and I'll be done and all yours again. Love Sky xoxox
