Author's Note:

It's been ages since I wrote my last fanfic in the old XF days. I got "re-addicted" to reading your wonderful stories a few weeks ago when I googled 'Densi fanfiction' on a VERY boring day at work. Ever since then I have some ideas about these 2 in my head. This is the first one I brought to paper. So enjoy reading (hopefully) and tell me what you think. Am I too rusty to write again?

I started with writing the epilogue, so I have the ending already which puts me under pressure somehow because I still have to fill the gap between this short beginning and the epilogue.

Last but not least, I'm not a native speaker, I'm Germanm so please excuse any spelling, grammar or other mistakes!

I don't own anything or anyone... you know the rest!

"Hey Kens," Deeks tried to get his partner's attention. The whole team was sitting in the bullpen doing boring paperwork on Friday afternoon.

"Mmh," she replied not even looking up.

"What are you doing this weekend?" he asked.

"Don't know yet. Maybe grab my new book and head to the beach. Why?"

Deeks smiled. She wasn't really a beach girl but ever since he took her surfing on a few occasions she seemed to like the place now; even enough for her to go there to relax and spend her free time there.

"I have this friend from college. His name is Peter," he started.

"Are you trying to set me up?" she looked up at him with a strange mixture of shock, amusement and hurt. She thought that the time they had spent together besides work lately meant that 'their thing' was starting to go in a direction of a relationship. And she always had the feeling they both liked it – the movie nights, the surfing lessons, the strolls in the park with Monty. They even started to go grocery shopping together only for Deeks to cook dinner afterwards. But nonetheless here he was, obviously wanting her to meet up with one of his buddies.

"Well, he just got a baby if you're interested," he replied not missing her expression.

Now she was confused. "So that means you want me…" she trailed off seeing his amused face.

"Listen, Peter became a father earlier this week and he invited some buddies to celebrate. So I guess, I should bring a gift."

She let out the breath she was holding. It was not what she had initially thought and she was honestly relieved. But then she thought again. "And you think I'm the right person to shop for baby gifts with?" She couldn't help her shocked expression. She wasn't really good with kids and she was definitely not the kind of woman who became all gushy when she saw someone with a baby. So of course she was shocked when he asked her.

"Well, you're a woman… wonder woman in fact," he grinned trying to win her over. "And you're my friend, so I'm asking you to help me out here… as a friend… please… Fern." He smiled at her with pleading eyes. How could she say no now?

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Tomorrow morning… and be sure to bring breakfast first." She just couldn't resist his charm.

"Aw, look at them G, they go baby shopping together. Aren't they cute?" Sam asked his partner not being able to resist a little teasing.

"You two tell us when it's your baby you go shopping for okay?" G told the younger agents.

Kensi glared at both of them turning bright red nonetheless.
