Thanksgiving with the New 'Blye' Family
My second fan-fic! EEKK! So excited! I am very determined to finish this up by Thanksgiving so you all can enjoy it! Thanks! (Forgot to mention this before but all rights go to NCIS: Los Angeles, I OWN NOTHING. If I did, Densi would have gotten together already. I also apologize for any errors, I can't always be perfect, just kidding I'm FAR from it.
Deeks leaned back in his chair after completing the sixtieth form he needed to fill out to collect his paycheck by Thanksgiving. He wished Thanksgiving wouldn't come at all because it just brought up all the bad memories of his abusive father, especially for the fact that he flat-out said, 'Marty, I hate you' about six years ago. He rubbed his temples, trying to forget about those memories and think positive. He glanced around the bullpen and saw Sam and Callen working away on their paperwork; he glanced at Kensi and noticed she was also looking up from her paperwork. He sent her a smile which she instantly returned and then proceeded to look back down at her paperwork, the smile still plastered on her face.
It was few hours before Deeks finally had enough work done to get by for the next couple of days, that way he could take a couple of days off for Thanksgiving instead of one day. He began to gather his things up when his partner walked into the bullpen from working out in the gym. Her hair was still damp from her shower and she looked very tired.
"You okay, Kens?" Deeks asked his partner as she gathered her things up into her bag. She glanced up at him, but kept putting her things in her bag. "All right then." He decided to drop the subject, for her sake of privacy. He slung the bag over his shoulder and was about to head out when her voice stopped him.
"Deeks," she called out making him turn around, "Would you like to have Thanksgiving with my mom and I?" Deeks was so shocked that he couldn't think of an answer to give her. He stood there, trying to find something to spit out. "I understand if you don't, I know Thanksgiving isn't the greatest of holidays for you. Just thought I should try to brighten it up with some company."
"No, no, that sounds great, Kens, thanks," Deeks finally replied after getting back to the real world. "I'd really like that. Does your mom need any help with making the food, since, I'm sure, she's not gonna want your 'special' cooking skills."
"Hey! I can cook, just not a lot of stuff," Kensi pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. Deeks chuckled at the cute pout his partner put on her face.
"You wanna grab some beers?" Deeks offered, hoping it wasn't pushing the envelope too much. She smiled and nodded as they both walked out, talking about the grand feast they'd have in a couple of days.
Before Deeks knew it, he was pulling up to the Blye's household on Thanksgiving Day. He took a deep breath and sighed: it was Thanksgiving; the day that his father came back around. He exited his car and noticed the fall decorations all over the front yard; he also noticed Kensi's car pulled up front and instantly smiled. What are you thinking Deeks? She's your partner, and she doesn't wanna go any further so quite smiling. He walked up to the front door and knocked a few times. The door swung open after a few seconds; a cheerful Kensi greeted him with a smile.
"Hey Deeks! Glad you're here, my mom needs an extra set of hands in the kitchen," Kensi greeted cheerfully. Deeks noticed she dressed in a tight, white knit sweater that showed her beautiful tan skin around her neck and part of her shoulders, her casual blue jeans, and her feet bare; her brown locks curled up around her shoulders. She stepped back to let him in and closed the door behind him. He walked in front of Kensi to the kitchen where Julia stood.
"Marty! It's so nice to see you again," Julia greeted with a smile as she continued to knead some dough in front of her. Kensi placed a hand on his shoulder and let it slide off as she passed, glancing back at him as she sat down in a chair in front of the counter her mom was working on.
"It's great to see you too, Mrs...," Deeks replied politely, but unable to finish the sentence.
"Oh, no need for that, just call me Julia," Julia said swishing her hand down.
"Of course, Julia," Deeks corrected himself, walking up next to Kensi. "Do you need any help?"
"Yes actually, could you help me with the casserole and the turkey? I need a strong man to carry the turkey," Julia replied, confusing Deeks a bit. Why would we need such a big turkey if it's just three of us? Deeks glanced over at Kensi who suddenly had a panicked look on her face.
"Care to explain something that you didn't tell me, Kensalina?" Deeks asked Kensi as she chewed on her bottom lip in worry. Julia looked between the two before locking eyes with Kensi.
"You didn't tell him?" Julia inquired, confusing Deeks even further.
"Tell me what?" Deeks asked, looking from Julia to Kensi.
"Well...I may have forgotten to mention that my stepdad and his kids are on their way over here from the store," Kensi explained bashfully. Deeks gulped; he was having dinner with Kensi entire new family? This will be an interesting night...
Deeks helped Julia prepare the turkey and a few side dishes; he assumed Kensi's stepdad was buying anything else they would need for the meal.
"We're here! We've got the potatoes Krissy was dying for!" called a voice from the front door.
"We're in the kitchen!" Julia called out to her new husband. Deeks grew nervous as the sound of shoes and a sudden bark grew louder. He looked up and saw a tall man with gray-brown standing in the doorway to the kitchen; behind him stood two tall boys, one with blonde hair, the other with brown hair. Deeks also noticed a bubbly girl, who looked about seven, running up to Kensi.
"Kensi!" squealed the little girl as Kensi scooped her up and twirled her around.
"Hi sweetie! Haven't seen you in a while, cutie," Kensi answered to the girl as she placed her on her hip. Deeks felt a little out-of-place as the family greeted each other with smiles and hugs. That was until someone noticed he was standing there.
"And who's this fine young man?" asked, who Deeks assumed was Julia's new husband. Deeks really didn't know what to do now. Why am I so nervous? I go undercover all the time and deal with terrorists! Why is this so different?
"Um...James, this is my partner Marty Deeks," Kensi explained as she stepped up beside Deeks, "Deeks, this is my stepdad James, my step brothers, David and Josh, and my stepsister Krissy."
"Nice to meet you all," Deeks replied, heart pounding, knowing this was big step for him and Kensi to be be taking.
I really hope I can post the rest of this, or another chapter, by Thanksgiving! I HOPE I DON'T GET WRITER'S BLOCK! UGH! Anyways, hope you enjoyed reading this! Don't forget to review so I know if I suck at writing or not :)
