Hi everyone! I wasn't sure if I was going to do this for this season but here I am! I will be trying to keep these shorter than last time because it takes me so long to finish chapters and I have a lot of schoolwork but we'll see how long that lasts hahaha! Once I get on a roll, I can't stop myself from writing sometimes!
After the season premiere, I just had to write a small after-episode fic! It was a fantastic start to season 10 and with so many Densi scenes, I couldn't leave it unwritten.
This is probably the shortest chapter I've ever written but I couldn't think of much more to add this time since the scenes in the episode were perfect! I also don't know how they're going to handle Hidoko's death, maybe a funeral (I hope they spend some time on that), so I didn't want to go into that now.
This picks up after episode 1 of season 10! (10x1)

They had been sitting in silence for a while now since he hadn't been able to fall asleep again.
"Penny for your thoughts?" She asked softly wondering what the stern look on his face was about.
His eyes turned towards her. "Uhm… for some reason that dream of you being pregnant won't leave my mind."
She was surprised he hadn't forgotten about that since he had hit his head for a second time. "It made an impact on your memory."
"Yeah, it felt so real."
She knew it was exactly what he wanted in life. A baby, a child, their child that they would raise together. In a perfect world with jobs that weren't dangerous and with a fearlessness for their future but she then remembered something else.
"When you were waking up, you were asking what had happened to the baby, did something go wrong?"
He thought about it. His dream was obviously weird, a mixture of his imagination and her voice rolled into one. "No, you just weren't pregnant anymore. I don't know why." He squeezed her hand. "Then I woke up and you were there. Maybe I was just sensing that."
She nodded, glad that nothing bad had happened even if it was just a dream. Her worst nightmare was that she would be putting their child in danger or losing them. She wanted that life with him, a precious little baby they would love forever but she always feared failing in that. "Was I happy?" She seemed nervous to be asking that.
"Yeah you were." He smiled at her reassuringly. "You called him Little Blye-Deeks or Little Deeks." He laughed softly.
"So no Little Princess Sunshine Deeks then?"
"I guess not." He thought about it. "I can't believe you remembered the whole name."
"Of course I did, you were so excited at the thought of buying a mini surfboard and wetsuit, how could I forget?"
"Can you imagine a little version of you or me running around?"
"That would be wild." She whispered as she smiled.
"It would be." He was glad she wasn't freaking out too much with all this baby talk. He still had hope that this was something she wanted as well.
She moved her hand over the back of her neck, turning her head side to side as well. "Your neck sore?"
"Everything's sore." She said lightly. Her entire body was aching, now that they were safe and the rush of adrenaline was gone, exhaustion took over.
"You dragged me through the desert all alone." It wasn't said as a question, but as a statement, his voice full of amazement for his fiancée.
"The things we do for love." She moved some hair out of his face so she could look into his blue eyes. He yawned and his face scrunched in what she assumed was pain. "You should get some rest."
"Okay." He agreed unlike earlier when she had said the same thing.
She gently stroked her thumb over his cheek. "I'll be here when you wake up." And every other day for the rest of their lives as long as they could be each other's worlds.
"M'kay." He muttered, the tiredness finally taking over again and willing him to sleep.
She stared at his face, so peaceful now that she really looked at him. Earlier today and yesterday all her focus had been on getting them to safety and trying to wake him up but here he was, going to be okay. He was doing well and so were they.
She rested her head on his chest again and uttered something she had so many times today. "I love you Deeks."
Thanks for reading!
