Deeks' POV

It was true. She was the one. Marty Deeks had never been this certain of anything in his life. That was probably startling, because he is a Liason Officer. But, he really didn't care. Deeks was actually really, truly happy, something he wasn't used to. She was amazing, absolutely. He was so blind he hadn't noticed it before. Well, he knew she was drop-dead Now, he was going to make sure she knew how perfectly amazing she was. He was taking Kensi, his girlfriend (yes, girlfriend- who would have guessed that?) to dinner that night. 23 dates and 6 months later, he was ready to do this. Although he aleady knew before that he loved her, he had waited until she was ready. The best part was, loving her was effortless and she came with a beautiful, smart little baby girl named Sophie Marie Blye-Deeks. He had half custody of her and Kensi had the other half. Deeks really didn't care, because he was happy with the arrangement.

Right now, he was meeting with Sam, Callen, Hetty, Eric and Nell for lunch. He sped up a little faster in his car as his heart sped up in anticipation of telling them what he was doing tonight. He made it to his destination and parked before hopping out of his car and making his way into the nice Cafe.

He spotted his co-workers and boss and made there way over to them.

"Hey everyone", he said as he took a seat next to Nell.

He swallowed suddenly, looking nervous.

Curious but friendly replies came from the small crowd at the table.

"So Deeks, what's with the face?", joked Sam.

"Yeah, I'd like to know what was such an emergency for you to wake me up from my cat-nap", said Callen teasingly.

Deeks smiled a little at they're teasing and joking, but quickly turned serious again which was not normal for Deeks. Eric and Nell shared a look and so did Sam and Callen.

"I am sure Mr. Deeks had a very important reason for asking us to come meet him", said Hetty, clearing her throat. "Now, I am expecting a call from Director Vance so could you possibly tell us your big secret, Mr. Deeks?"

Wordlessly, Deeks pulled a small velvet box from his pocket and he popped it open, causing wide-eyes and a excited squeal from Nell.

"Holy crap", said Callen, disbelief in his voice.

"Oh my gosh, Deeks!", said Nell excitedly. "The ring is absolutely beautiful, Kensi is going to love it."

Eric smiled and laid a "casual" arm over Nell's shoulders, causing her eyes to sparkle.

"That is, if this is for Kensi", said Sam, raising his eyebrows.

Nell glared at Sam.

"Of course it's for her", she said defensively. She then looked at Deeks with a nervous look on her face. "It is for her, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is for Kensi", his face broke into a wide grin as he said her name.

"Oh, he's so whipped", Sam rolled his eyes.

"Mr. Deeks, the ring is lovely", said Hetty. "Agent Blye will most definitely love this ring."

"Thanks Hetty", said Deeks smiling.

"So, why did you call us all over when you could have told us after you proposed?", asked Eric.

"Because, I wanted to get your permission", Deeks admitted.

"Deeks, your a grown man, you can make you own decisions", said Sam seriously. "But, I approve."

"I do too", said Callen. "I just want Kensi to be happy, which is obviously what we all want, and your the guy who makes her happy."

"Do I even have to say I approve?", asked Nell, chuckling.

"I approve of this marriage, Mr. Deeks", said Hetty.

"And so do I", Eric agreed.

Deeks' face transformed into a smile.

"You guys are the best", he said.

"Yeah, your not to bad yourself Deeks", said Callen.

"But you totally owe us lunch", said Sam.

"That I do", said Deeks, picking up his menu.

An hour later and many wedding-involved questions which Deeks couldn't answer, the two techies, 2 Agents, 1 boss and 1 Liason officer departed, all wishing him goodluck.

It was only 1:00PM, so Deeks drove around until he ended up at his house and then he took Monty for a walk. They played catch for a couple of hours before Deeks and Monty took a little break.

"So what do you think boy, do you think she'll say yes?", Deeks asked Monty.

The dog nudged the ring box and barked, wagging his tail. Kensi had always loved Monty, giving him kisses and belly rubs and pats. Monty loved Kensi and he loved when they went to her house together and he got to play with Sophie and give her kisses.

"I think so too", Deeks said quietly, snapping Monty's leash back onto his collar and making their way towards his apartment.

Kensi's POV

She loved him, she knew that. But she never knew how much she loved him. A single look, a single touch, a single kiss, it all set off shivers and quick response to his flirting. She felt like she was floating on air and she hadn't even been this in love with Jack all those years before. Kensi loved everything about him. He was so handsome, so kind and caring. He could make her laugh at any given time and he adored Sophie as much as Kensi did herself. She smiled at the thought of him. They were having dinner later and Sophie would be babysat by Sam and Callen, although they had been dubbed "Uncle Sam" and "Uncle Callen". They pretended not to be called Uncles, but secretly they loved it and Sophie adored her Uncles. Kensi looked at the clock and seeing it was only 3:30, she began to look through her closet to find something to wear. Sophie was snoozing in a sling against Kensi's stomach. Kensi idly thought of how they said a baby would match their heart beat to their mothers. She slid a hand on her heart and one on Sophie's. It was true and she smiled lovingly at her beautful baby daughter.

'If only I can find a dress', Kensi thought, throwing more clothes onto her bed.

After searching non-stop (Well, almost.. She had to change and feed Sophie when she woke up) she found the blue dress she wore to her's and Deeks' first date. Happy memories flooded into her thoughts and she was grinning the whole time. She looked at the clock. 5:00PM. She had an hour before Sam and Callen came to watch Sophie and until Deeks came to pick her up for their date. For some reason, she knew something big (but good) was going to happen. Deeks had been acting a little jittery lately and she couldn't wait to find out what was wrong. They were best friends, lovers and parents together. They told each other everything.

She took a shower with Sophie (she read in a baby book -yes she was guilty of reading them, she just wanted to be a good mother, which Deeks said on many occasions that she was- that it was good for a baby to come in contact with water at a young age with a positive enviorment and with someone they trust, aka Mother or Father)

After re-dressing Sophie with a diaper and Winnie-The-Pooh PJ's she dressed herself, quickly un-braided french-braided hair and applied makeup. Her hair was extremely curly and classy so she was satisfied. As she put on her last finishing touches of a bit of blush and earrings, she remembered when Deeks said on one of their dates,

"Kensi, I want you to know that you can be yourself with me and that you are beautiful without makeup"

After she'd thanked him with a kiss, she asked how he knew she looked beautiful without her makeup, he said that he'd had a very lucky and rare chance to see her without makeup on one morning on a stakeout with her. She felt beautiful all the time and even though she knew she already had looked beautiful, his words warmed her heart.

She heard a knock at the door and she quickly scooped Sophie up and put her in the secret room and grabbed her gun from were it sat on her coffee table. She looked through the glass of the door and smiled widely as she saw it was "The Uncles" Sam and Callen.

She unlocked the door.

"Hey, thanks for coming over and watching Sophie", said Kensi, opening the door a little wider.

Smiling back (and thinking of Deeks' proposal) Sam and Callen stepped inside and Sophie began to cry.

"Oh, I'd better go get Soph", said Kensi, quickly shutting the door and locking it before running into the secret room and picking up Sophie.

"There she is!", said Sam as Kensi handed him Sophie. "The famous Sophie Marie Blye-Deeks!"

'Soon to be just Deeks' thought Callen, smiling at his niece.

Sophie giggled appreciatively at all of the attention she was recieving.

"You know were everything is", said Kensi, grabbing her purse. "And the baby book is over with the camera if you want to take pictures."

"Have a good time, Kensi", said Callen.

"We've got this little one all under control!", added Sam, laughing as Sophie drooled on his shirt.

"Thanks again for everything and be safe!", said Kensi.

"We're Federal Agents, safe is our middle name", said Sam.

Kensi laughed, gave Sophie a kiss and ran out to meet Deeks in the car.

Sam and Callen looked at each other.

"Kensi is going to be in for the surprise of her life", said Callen, taking a seat on the couch.

"No doubt", said Sam, turning on the TV and sitting Sophie up on his lap. "How about some Bear In The Big Blue House, Soph?"

**Now, I know I usually don't do a second Author's note, but I'm sure your all curious about the mysterious "Secret Room." Well, Deeks and Kensi had searched around the house one day for anything mysterious (for pure fun, by the way) and were astounded to find out about a secret room. It was like an old parlor from back in the mid-1800's. It was so cool. It still had the old furniture and mats and pictures. It was amazing. So Kensi and Deeks rigged it up with video cameras and Eric and Nell hooked it up to the computer's so they could monitor when Sophie was in there in case of emergency. So it became the place where they would put Sophie if they were in danger.

Anyways, the next chapter should be soon but I have a busy weekend so we never know!**
