It was peacefully quiet until I recieved a phone call, breaking my sleep. Grabbing the phone off my bedside table not even bothering to check the caller ID I answered
"Kensi" I said rather sleepily.
"Ms Blye; I need you and Mr Deeks in ops ASAP" Hetty said rather alertly, so I bolted up right and told her I was on my way. Before she hung up however she told me that Deeks would be waiting for me in fifteen minutes outside his place and that I was going to need to pack more clothes in my overnight bag. So I quickly got dressed thanking god that I'd showered a couple of hours ago, it had only just gone 3am and I wasn't entirely sure if I felt comfortable with this news. I was ready in five minutes and drove the five minutes it took for me to get to Deeks house, where he was waiting for me.
"Hey Kens" he said rather cheerily for the early morning wake up call
"Hey Deeks" I said trying to match the cheery tune, in my gut something didn't feel right.
We arrived at ops about twenty minutes later when Hetty turned to brief us.
"Ms Blye Mr Deeks, Mr Callen and Mr Hanna are at the crime scene of our navy officers" Hetty said turning towards Nell and Eric who looked like they were going to fall asleep on each other.
"Navy Lietenant Heather Markaway and Chief Commandor Steven Markaway were attacked in their home late last night both have been taken to hospital with serious injuries from their gunwounds, the doctors who took them into surgery predict that they may not be able to make it through the surgery as there were too many gunshot wounds and they were both badly beaten, Hetty has called the two of you in because-" Eric said but he was cut off by Hetty.
"The Markaways have a eleven and a half month old daughter Katherine Joy and she was unharmed with the accident, however she has no remaining family and if the Markaways don't make it through their surgery she's going to need looking after, and it seems that the Markaways knew both of you Mr Deeks and Ms Blye and asked in their will, that Nell was able to get a hold of, that if anything were ever to happen to them that their daughter goes to their friends Kensi Blye and Marty Deeks. Since I know for a fact that I am not mistaken in the two of you being in a relationship; I suggest the two of talk it through amongst yourselves and come to a conclusion before Sam and Callen get back with Katherine. I am sure that niether of you want her to go into the foster care system after what you both know of Callen's experiences" .
Deeks and I had found ourselves in the room were we did first aid and since it was free we talked in here.
"Kens; I know I want to help this little girl, she was our friends daughter and she has no one left now. I want to help because I love that little girl already. But I can't do this by myself and I won't do this with anyone else unless its with you" Deeks said cutting straight to the point.
"Deeks, I would love too as well. But we haven't even been dating for more than six months and we are just getting used to it. Don't get me wrong I love Katherine as well and I don't want to see her being put into foster care, but we both have risky jobs, ones that make it hard for the both of us to be at home and have regular times, if only one of us goes out in the field the other will be completely worried sick, Deeks I don't want to lose my partner because he's scared about the possibility that I could be harmed. I don't want all of that worrying and fear"
"Its a part of our job Kens, I know you're worried but we have each other, we have the team and we have our love" he said kissing me on he lips
"Deeks, I just I've never spent more time with any baby for more than a couple of minutes and she's getting to the age where she'll be learning to walk and talk I don't know how we'll cope" I said leaning my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me
"We'll take it one step at a time Kens, just like we have with everything else. We'll do this together and we'll love every mintue of it" he whispered in my ear before kissing my head.
"Only if you're sure, Marty" I said against his lips.
We headed over to Hetty's desk from where we were and told her we would take in Katherine and she had us fill in the adoption papers and quickly had them sent off, because this was a part of a murder investigation and Katherine was still under a year the case was being rushed, extra fast because we had signed the papers pretty much as soon as we found out. It wasn't long after that, Sam and Callen arrived back from the crime scene and Deeks and I were back at our desks awaiting the arrival of Katherine. When they placed her down in the carrier on Deeks desk, I jumped up from my desk and ran to Deeks side hugging him close, before looking down at the little girl who was fast asleep. It had just gone 6am when they had walked in so she should sleep for another couple of hours. Just as I moved to pick her up Hetty appeared at our side and she looked over at the new comer who was dressed rather impeccably in his nicely tailored suit.
"Ms Blye, Mr Deeks this is Kelvin Hamish. The Markaways lawyer. He has their will and has asked that you and he talk in private, go down the hall to the confrence room that you were in before and discuss matters with him" she said and as soon as she were done we walked down the hall with Mr Hamish following.
