The team helps Deeks and Kensi move into their new house.

"Ok guys, ready? One two three lift!" Deeks cried as he, Callen, Sam, and Eric all tried to lift the wrapped dinning room table off the truck. Kensi and Deeks had only just recently bought this new house which meant that today was moving day. They guys had been delegated to the heavy lifting, much to the protest of Deeks and Eric, while the girls were busy telling them where everything was supposed to go.

"Dear god I don't know if I can make it all the way into the dinning room!" Eric groaned.

"Hey, hey, hey. You drop this and I break your fingers." Sam threatened as he tried to reposition the awkwardly balanced load with limited success.

The table, a 14 foot, 210 lb, solid oak monstrosity, had been a housewarming gift from Hetty who had explained it by saying that every home needed a table for the family to gather around. Eric blanched at Sam's threat and tried to steady his grip. Unfortunately all the talk of where his hands were supposed to go left him not watching where his feet were going.

One slightly uneven space in the sidewalk got the better of him causing him to fall forward, shoving the table into the remaining three guys. Cries and shouts of alarm rang out as Deeks, Sam, and Callen all tried to keep the table from falling with little success. Right as they were about to drop it, two sets of hands shot out and grabbed the table. Deeks let out his breath and looked to see Nell and Kensi clutching the table for dear life. He shot his wife a cheeky grin.

"Nice catch Fern. You too Velma."

"Everyone ok?" Callen asked. "Eric?"

"I'm good." The tech analyst said as he picked himself up off the ground. "You guys good?"

Callen looked at the girls. "Good?"

"We're good." Kensi smiled and Nell gave an affirmative head nod.

"Now that you are all good," Hetty spoke from the doorway. "Do you think we can take this show inside?"

"Thanks for the help Hetty!" Sam grunted.

Hetty laughed and side stepped out of the way. "Anytime, Mr Hanna, anytime."

With the last bit of furniture off loaded and the daylight slowly fading, the group decided to call it a day and retreated into the homes living room. While it would eventually be a comfortable and homey living space, at the moment it was packed to the roof with boxes and the random bits of furniture that had made its way into the room had been commandeered by various members of the team and dragged into a circle around a bountiful helping of beer and cheeseburgers. Eric and Nell were cuddling in an oversized armchair, Hetty and Sam had planted themselves in two folding law chairs, Deeks opted for the floor with Kensi nestled in his lap, and Callen, preferring to stand, leaned up against the door frame.

"So how does it feel to be officially moved in you guys?" Called asked as he took a swig of beer.

"Ask us again when everything is actually unpacked and in its proper place." Deeks said between mouthfuls.

"Well I'm sure that if you both need help we would all be happy to lend our assistance again." Hetty volunteered.

"Yeah, it'll be fun!" Nell piped up.

"Uh hu, yeah, that's for the offer but after the incident today with Eric and the dinning room table I think we might just have to pass." Deeks smirked.

"I told you I tripped!" Eric defended himself.

"I don't know what y'all were complaining about, I had the whole thing totally under control." Sam scoffed.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure the girlish shrieks we heard weren't coming He-Sam over there at all." Kensi laughed.

"He-Sam? Really Kens? How long have you been sitting on that one?"

"I came up with it in the shower this morning." Kensi smirked.

"You think of Sam in the shower?" Called asked, an amused look on his face.

"Yeah you think of Sam in the shower? Deeks asked but his eyes shone with laughter. Not only did her recognize the answer, but he was completely certain that it wasn't Sam who had been occupying her time in the shower that morning, and he had the bite marks to prove it.

As the night wore on and the food rations diminished, Deeks rested his chin on top of his wife's head. This was his home, this was his family, this was his wife, and to him, this was his paradise.

It's full of charts and facts and figures
