Was it real? Should she pinch herself maybe she'll wake up? Wait, she already tried that and it didn't work. She was still staring at those two little lines that opened a wide road of unresolved questions that she wished she could ask herself but knew that she probably didn't have the answer right away.
She rested her hands onto the sink, keeping her balance as she looked up to the mirror and inhaled deeply. She kept staring at herself, trying to keep her mind at ease. She let out a slight chuckle, shaking her head a little as she thought about Deeks... how was she going to tell him? They had gone through much in the past years, they couldn't possibly get through with this. She could feel a steaming hot tear stroking its way down to her cheeks as the thought of Deeks leaving her came to mind.
She tried leaving it off for a while, kept the test safely in her bathroom cabinet so she won't have to tell Deeks anything at the moment. But, even though she wouldn't tell him what was wrong, he knew something was up with her and he was positive that she wasn't gonna just come up and told him, whatever it was.
She was just about to switch on the TV when a knock on the door caught her off guard and she went to open the door.
"Got some bulgogi here for ya..." Deeks announced as soon as the door was opened. Kensi smiled as him and closed her eyes but as he was about to give her a kiss, she quickly put her head aside, excusing herself...
"Why don't you but everything on the table while I'll get some drinks?"
"Oookay..." Deeks replied, a little unsure of what just happened. He knew she had been distant lately, pretty much not allowing them to have a normal conversation. He stared at her as she walked to the kitchen while he closed the door behind him. Placing the food onto the table, he looked up again and slowly walked a few steps ahead. "Kens, are you okay?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know, you seem kind of... off"
"No, I'm fine"
Straight answer... that's not the Kensi I know, Deeks thought to himself. He walked closer to her, almost standing right behind her.
"Kens..." he whispered, putting a hand on her shoulder. She closed her eyes at the feel of his touch. She could feel her hands shaking, not knowing what to respond. So, taking in a deep breath and letting it out unevenly, she turned around to face him and said...
"Deeks, I'm fine... I'm good"
There it was... the word they used right before something happened. But, did he really wanted to bring it up now? No matter how hard he'll try, he was not going to get her to talk to him.
Deeks took a deep breath and let it out, stepping back and giving her space. He looked up to her again as she turned around and handled the glasses carefully then walking towards the living room again. He walked behind her and as she settled her self comfortable onto her sofa, Deeks took out the food from the paper back and settled everything onto the table. The TV was la ready on and once he was also sitting right beside her, they began digging in, Kensi practically bulging in every piece of her meal before he could even finish half of it. He didn't think too much about it because he knew that the girl could eat but, she was absolutely sure why she was craving so much. Luckily, her stomach stayed in place for the moment and didn't have to make a run for the bathroom...
At about 10:30pm, Deeks could feel the slight pressure of Kensi's head onto his chest. They were still snuggling onto the sofa but Kensi was far along in her sleep to even realize that he was still there with her. But, when he shifted his position to slide away from her, she quickly grabbed a hold of his clothes to keep him in place.
"I'm just going to the bathroom... I'll be right back" he whispered, kissing her forehead.
"Okay..." she replied, half asleep. She didn't even bother to think otherwise, or the fact that she was still keeping the test in her cabinet.
He walked up to the bathroom and when he was washing his hands, noticing that there wasn't a towel hanging onto the rail, he opened up the cabinet and took one out. Right under the first towel, he saw the box and to his curiosity, he took it out. Glancing at the words, his eyes shot wide open and his breathed hitches. It all came to him and the pieces of the puzzle finally connected. He remembered how she was acting in those last few days and now, he had the real reason why. He looked up and inhaled deeply, not knowing what to think or what to say. How could he bring it up?
After a few minutes of complete silence, he placed the box back into the cabinet and closed it, taking one quick glance at the mirror before heading out the door again. When he approached closer to the living room, he saw Kensi totally zoned out, hearing those soft snores that he liked. He smiled at the view and then, his eyes went directly to her stomach, kind of imagining that whatever doubt she had was true. That they were really going to start a family together. But, that view quickly vanished as he tried to figure out a reason why she didn't tell him. And, at the same time, he wasn't even sure it was true... maybe a false alarm. With all those thoughts running around in his head, he took one more deep breath and grabbed a hold of his keys. He walked over to Kensi and gave her a kiss on her forehead, trying hard not to wake her up. He wasn't sure if he was angry or confused or both... he just needed some time for himself. And so, he headed out the door and walked over to his car. He kept on driving and driving, not knowing exactly where he's heading...
