Chapter 2
'Kensi is doing okay,' Deeks said. 'I'm going to sleep, too. Can you stay and take care of Damian when he wakes up?' Deeks didn't even bother listen to Eric's answer since he already knew that Eric would say yes. Not did he bother to change. He immediately fell asleep when he lay down.
'How can I forget my own son?' Kensi asked desperately. She almost felt like crying. She not only forgot two years of her life, she also forgot that she had a six-months-old son. Sam had taken Damian outside to give Kensi some time.
'What kind of mother forgets her own child?' she rambled on.
'Kensi, amnesia is common after a coma,' Deeks said, trying to calm her down. 'Most get their memory back after some time.'
'I forgot my son!' Kensi suddenly yelled at him. 'I didn't forget last Christmas party. I forgot my son!'
'Kensi, calm down,' Callen said. 'You can get to know him again. Damian is still here. You can get to know him…' Kensi started to cry and Callen pulled her in a hug. Deeks could only watch them. While Kensi continued crying in Callen's arm, Deeks couldn't help to feel jealous. And because of that he even felt more terrible than before. Kensi and Callen were friends, friends comfort each other and Kensi needed comfort. A nurse came walking in, after hearing the yelling. Deeks stood up and stopped her.
'She had some bad news,' he explained. 'It's going to be okay.' The nurse nodded and left the room again. Deeks walked back to Kensi.
'I'm sorry,' she apologized to him.
'No need to apologize,' he said. 'Not every day you get to hear you have a son and that you have missed two years. I would yell too.'
It was evening and when Kensi looked to her side, after having tried to get some sleep. Deeks was sitting in his chair, just like when she woke up.
'Deeks?' she whispered. 'Deeks, are you asleep?'
'Yes,' he answered softly but he opened his eyes. 'But now I'm awake.'
'Can you…can…' Kensi didn't know how to ask him. Tears were forming in her eyes once again. 'Can you tell me…?'
'About Damian?' Deeks asked. Kensi nodded and she wiped away some tears that were escaping from her eyes. 'He can be very stubborn, just like you,' That made Kensi smile. 'But he is a great kid. You told me that soon he slept the entire night and he still does that. Sometimes he causes trouble when I try to feed him...but maybe that is because of me. Sam never complained about it…'
'Thank you,' Kensi said softly. She wasn't the Kensi Deeks knew. She looked vulnerable and like she could break down any minute.
'In no-time you will be telling me about him,' Deeks promised her. 'You will get to know him soon enough when you get out of the hospital.'
'Was I a good mother?' Kensi asked softly that Deeks almost didn't hear it.
'You were a great mom,' he assured her. 'You really loved Damian and would do anything for him without a question.' Once again Kensi was tearing up. Deeks sat down on the bed and he pulled her into a hug. 'Oh Kensi, it will be all okay.'
When Deeks opened his eyes, he noticed that he wasn't in his bed…actually he wasn't even in his bed. When he looked around in the room he noticed that he was still in the hospital. Currently he was lying in the hospital bed with Kensi in his arms. He didn't want it [it?] to be in the hospital but Deeks wanted Kensi in his arms for a long time. When she became pregnant of Damian, Deeks realized he liked her…realized that he loved her. But he knew it wasn't mutual. But even though [even so] he was happy that he could hold Kensi. He hated to see her like that during those two months. Lying motionless in bed. The raising and falling of her chest had been the only evidence of her still being alive. Deeks was pulled out of his thoughts when the door opened. This time it was Hetty. Deeks carefully pulled his arms away from Kensi, hoping that he didn't wake her and he stepped out of the bed. Hetty walked to the bed and sat down on the chair that was standing next to the bed.
'How is she doing, mister Deeks?' she asked, like it was normal to see the two partners laying [lying] in the bed together.
'Umm, I think she's doing okay,' he answered and Hetty nodded.
'I heard from mister Hanna and mister Callen how it went when she saw Damian,' she said. 'How is she taking that?'
'Very hard,' Deeks answered honestly. He thought of telling Hetty about Kensi's breakdown but he didn't. He knew Kensi didn't like being vulnerable.
'That was expected after hearing such news,' Hetty said. 'I had to tell you that Sam took Damian home so no worries there.' Deeks nodded and he glanced towards Kensi, who was still sleeping. 'She is tough, mister Deeks. She will be okay.'
Coffee might be the best thing. It makes you warm and awake. Deeks took another sip of the warm liquid. Right now the doctor was with Kensi, doing some tests. Deeks leaned against the wall opposite of the door leading to Kensi's room. From the corner of his eye he saw Callen and Sam coming.
'Hey, is the doctor inside?' Callen asked.
'Yeah,' Deeks sighed.
'Maybe you should go home and get some sleep,' Sam suggested. 'You have been here for three days and we know that you have been sleeping very badly for the past two months. So go home, Deeks.' Deeks wanted to protest but he felt how tired he was. Too tired to argue with Sam, which was already impossible when you were fully awake.
'Tell her that I will be back soon,' he said before leaving. Callen and Sam nodded.
'Maybe you should take Damian with you when you come back,' Callen said. 'Right now Eric is with him at your place.' Deeks nodded again. That was a good idea of Callen. After yesterday evening she might want to see him again.
Deeks couldn't remember how he got home, but somehow he did come home. He opened the door and walked inside. Eric was sitting on the couch.
'Hey,' he greeted Deeks cheerfully. 'How is it with Kensi? Damian is just asleep.'
