Sequel to Perfect. I know, I know, you've all been waiting for soooo long.

The Endless Beginning is six chapters long. There will be a sequel, Truth and Consequences, which I have yet to actually start writing. It only took me about five hours to write all of The Endless Beginning though, so I'm hoping I can crank out Truth and Consequences in quick time.

For some reason, a lot of this is told from Nate's point of view. I mean, a good portion if from G's point of view, but Nate managed to work his way in there too. It's kinda strange.

I don't own. I know, shocking, right?


THE ENDLESS BEGINNING

CHAPTER ONE – FAMILY REMAINS

It's been weeks. It's been weeks and G tries to pretend that everything is normal, that nothing has changed.

But things have changed. The whole dynamic in the office, in the field, has changed. Things are different and Callen kind of hates it.

He misses the way things were. Everything was good before. For the first time in his life, he felt like he had a real home, a real family.

There was Kensi, the pain in the ass little sister who got everything she wanted, mostly through destruction of other people's property.

There was Eric, the creepy cousin who hangs out in the dark basement playing video games.

There was Nate, the older brother who always acted like he knew everything about everyone, when really he didn't know jack half the time.

There was Hetty, the crazy old coot, the ever watchful grandmother who really did know every little thing, no matter how insignificant it might seem.

Then there was Sam, the brother, the best friend, the one he could joke with, the one he could tell anything.

Even Dom was working his way into the family. The naïve little brother you can't help but constantly worry about.

And now things were so different. Their little family, the only family he's ever really had, was falling apart.

Or maybe the family wasn't breaking apart. Maybe he was breaking away from them, and they were just like they'd always been.

Maybe he was the only one that saw what was happening to them.
