Ok I've had this story bouncing around in my head for almost a year. I finally decided I had to get it out on paper. We all know about three agents that Hetty trained from childhood. What if there was another that Hetty took in and basically raised herself. Someone that Callen has a long history with and a love hate relationship with.
And yes there will be lots of Densi in this story although it is not a Densi story. It's more a Hetty/Callen/OC story.
PRESSENT
The first thing I notice is the ringing in my ears. It's loud and drowns out everything else. The next thing I notice is the smell. Smoke, think and heavy, it fills my nose and burns my throat as I try to breath. I pull my tee shirt up and over my mouth and nose and try to focus. To my left I spot movement in the haze. Deeks raises to his knees and looks around most likely trying to find Kensi. He spots me and mouths something. I groan and try and lift myself. I feel hands grab my arm and help me to stand. I look over to my left to see Sam standing there.
His shirt is torn and there is a cut on his temple. I can almost hear what he and Deeks are saying now. Deeks quickly moves off and I see him pull Kensi into his arms. This just leaves Callen missing. I look to where the building used to be standing. The entire right side had collapsed and a good size fire was burning in the rubble.
Over to the left I spot something partially covered in debris. I take a few shaky steps towards the object. My mind is numb and I can't feel the numerous injuries I'll later discover, all I can think of is to get to that object. Half way there I feel Deeks pulling me back. I fight against him, screaming to be let go. Deeks holds fast as I watch Kensi and Sam stumble thru the remains of the building to the body lying there.
Sirens start to break thru the din and I realize Eric must have called the explosion in to fire and rescue. I watch as Sam reaches the body and gets down checking it. I start screaming Callen's name and feel my legs give out. Deeks drops with me holding me tightly trying to turn my head so I don't have to watch. He starts to say something to me, trying to sooth me but it doesn't work.
I feel the hot tears drop down my face and I gasp for breath all of the strength finally gone and shock seeping into my bones. A paramedic stops to check on me but Deeks waves him off to where Sam is. I can fell Deeks body shake and I realize I'm not the only one crying. All I can do is hide my face in his shoulder and let the sobs overtake me.
There is so much movement around us now. A light spray of water from the fire hose hits me cooling my heated skin. Deeks starts to stand pulling me up with him. I'm afraid that my legs will not hold me so I cling to him still shaking. Then I feel myself being passed off to another body. I figure it's an EMT and go willingly.
I keep my eyes closed as I feel strong arms circle my body and pull me in close. One hand tangles in my hair the other wraps around my waist keeping me anchored in place. It take a moment before I realize who it is. I can only bury my face in his neck and thank whatever higher power is out there for not taking him from me.
Behind us I hear Grangers voice yelling for the team. Paramedics pull us apart and start walking us over to a rig to get checked out. I look over at Callen as they get him to sit on the back bumper of the rig. He looks like hell. Dirt covers his body and there is blood soaking thru his shirt. I get told I have some cuts and bruises and get asked if I hurt anywhere. I mumble something that sounds a lot like I hurt everywhere.
Callen looks over to me and tries to smile. I must look just as bad because his look of happiness is replaced with one of concern.
"I'm ok." I say. I don't think Callen believes me. Somehow Granger talks the EMT's into letting us ride together. I'm not sure why they are taking me but I don't argue. Callen was the closest to the explosion. It wasn't until the EMT started asking me questions that it hit me why they took me too.
"Agent Harper is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
I blink at the EMT a few times. I can feel my jaw drop and my hand flies to cover my stomach.
"I… um…"
"There's a chance." Says Callen looking at me from his seat next to mine.
"Crap." I mutter. I think back to the month before weeks prior to Christmas when one thing had led to another and I had ended up in bed with Callen. I let out a shaky breath and feel Callen put his hand over mine.
"If she is it's only about five weeks."
The EMT nods and takes my blood pressure which is low.
"It's always low." I say.
"Are either of you dizzy?"
We both answer no.
"Agent Harper you will most likely need some stitches on your arm here."
"Sure, whatever."
I feel tears start again and I fight them back. I should have known better, realized sooner. If I lose this baby because of my desire to be right were the action is I'd never forgive myself. Callen wraps his arm around me and kisses my temple. Hell I don't even know if he wants kids. It's not like we're dating, most of the time we aren't even on speaking terms. Ok I may really enjoy on messing with him whenever I can.
"It's ok Blake."
I don't get to answer him as we have arrived at the hospital. There are two wheelchairs waiting on us. I hear the EMT telling the hospital staff that we are both Special Agents with NCIS and that I may be pregnant. We get separated almost as soon as we enter the building and I start to panic.
It takes almost three hours before I find out that Callen really is fine just some cuts and bruises. I end up needing stitches in my arm and my leg and at some point I fall asleep. When I wake up Hetty is sitting next to my bed.
"Matushka." I mumble.
"Hush now and rest you've had one hell of a day."
"Callen?"
"He's fine. Sam took him home to get him cleaned up he'll be back soon."
"Are the others ok?"
"Yes just minor injuries." Hetty chuckled. "I have to admit you gave Mr. Deeks one hell of a bruise on his jaw."
"Didn't mean to, hell I don't even remember doing it."
"It's alright child he understands."
Just then I notice someone standing in the door way.
"Hey there brat, how are you feeling?"
"Like I got blown up."
Hetty just sits there and watches as Callen moves to sit on the bed next to me. He places a hand on my stomach and leans in to kiss me.
"I just talked to your doctor I can take you home whenever you're ready."
I laugh. "You forget I don't have a home any longer."
"I'll just have to take you home with me then."
Callen looks at me seriously for a moment. "You know I have the perfect room at the house for a nursery."
I can't help but smile at him.
"It took you two long enough." Said Hetty.
That is an understatement. It's also a very long story. But it's my story so if you want to hear it then here it is.
My name is Special Agent Blake Harper…..
