SUMMARY:
Marty Deeks learned very early in life that you had to be tough to survive.
So he found a way to protect himself with humor. Years go by and things change...
CHAPTER 2: SURPRISES IN LIFE...
Marty grew up and changed his name. At first he originally decided to be a lawyer and had even passed the California State Bar.
Before he deciding the life of a lawyer was not one for him...
He joined the LAPD. It had been while he was working undercover at the MMA Gym that he met...
Kensi Marie Blye.
From the beginning there had been, flirting, bantering and bickering between the two,
And then finally after four years of dancing around their feelings...
FLASHBACK *
"Kens, do you want to go out sometime?" Deeks asked as they walked out of the bullpen together and Kensi looked at him to see if he was joking.
She had always felt there had been something more between them than just being partners and best friends, he was looking at her and it didn't look like he was joking.
"Sure, why not." Kensi said with a shrug. "Really, you want to go on a date with me?" Deeks asked, in surprise and she stopped.
"Whoa, wait...Who said anything about this being a date?" Kensi asked confused.
"Well, I asked if you want to go out sometime and you said you would..." Deeks pointed out. "I thought you meant as friends, Deeks." Kensi said and he looked at the ground, before looking back at her.
"Kensi...I'm tired of us dancing around this 'thing' and not doing anything about it. We tell everyone there is no 'thing' between us, but you can't deny there is something between us. Look at the way we are, when we're together and it's not just in front of the team or for an OP..." Deeks stated.
"Deeks please don't do this..." Kensi begged closing her eyes, so she wouldn't have to look into his.
"What Kens? I trust you more than anyone and you told me the same once. I am..." Deeks began. "Don't say it, Deeks. We can't..." Kensi said, opening her eyes and looking at him.
"Why can't we? We're both adults and no one is saying we can't be together." Deeks pointed out.
"Because if we go involved something could happen and one of us could die." Kensi told him.
"So we just continue on...teasing and flirting, but never being anything more than just best friends. I am in l..." Deeks started again.
"I told you not to tell me that!" Kensi snapped.
"Then kiss me and prove there's nothing there, Kensi. 'Cause I'll tell you now...if you kissed me, you wouldn't be able to deny us anymore." Deeks stated, trying to hold on to his hurt and anger.
"I'm not saying there isn't a 'thing' between us, but get this through your thick head...I don't want to lose you if something happened." Kensi told him, her anger coming to the surface.
"You have a one date only rule, Kensi, because you're so afraid of getting hurt. I won't hurt you and I'm going to tell you what you don't want to hear. Because I want you to know...I am in love with you. I can't help it, don't you think I'm not afraid of the same thing if we go involved.
I'm scared I would lose you, but I'm willing to take that chance. I just want you to take that chance with me. You said you would go out with me..." Deeks began.
"I thought you meant as friends." Kensi repeated.
"Just go out with me once and if I can't pass your one date rule...then I'll let it go, okay?" Deeks asked a look of stubbornness on his face.
Kensi and Deeks stared into each other's eyes, both was willing the other to back down.
"You're not going to give up on this idea, are you?" Kensi asked with a sigh, already knowing the answer. "Nope," Deeks shot back, his lips twitching...because he knew he had won.
"Fine, but I guarantee you will not pass my first date rule." Kensi told him, trying to hide a smile of her own. "Au contraire, Fern...I know I will. Tomorrow night at seven if we don't have a case," He asked.
"You might not get this date if you call me Fern again. Yeah, I guess tomorrow works and it better be somewhere good." Kensi informed him, before slipping into the driver's seat of the SRX and with a wave she was gone. *
END FLASHBACK
It had been...
A walk on the beach, dinner at Angelo's and then left her at her door with a kiss.
After that date many more followed and they eventually told the team.
Sam and Callen, warned Deeks not to hurt, Kensi.
After six months of dating Deeks took her to Angelo's again, just as he had done on their first date, but this time was different...
He had gotten down on one knee in front of her and asked her to marry him. No one that knew them had really been surprised when she said yes.
Now nine months later.
Marty Deeks was now holding the newborn baby girl that he and Kensi had created.
Tears slipped down his face as he looked into the face of his baby girl, and then looked at Kensi to see the tears falling down her face as well.
"Bad ass Kensi Marie Blye - Deeks is crying." He teased. "So are you, but if you ever get me pregnant again I will..." Kensi began.
"Hey, not in front of our daughter," He protested placing the baby girl in her arms.
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again.
"Hey, do you have that number with you so we can call you-know-who and tell him how our 'thing' worked out?" Kensi asked with a grin.
Marty pulled out his phone and dialed a number, then waited for the person on the other end to answer.
He leaned over so that the phone was between him and Kensi.
"Charlie Mitchell..." Came a voice.
"Hey, Charlie..." Marty said. "Marty! What's going on, brother?" Charlie A.K.A. Ray asked. "Just wanted to let you know how..." Deeks began, but was interrupted when Emma Hope Deeks started to cry. "Is that a baby I hear?" Charlie asked.
"Yup, the baby you hear is, Emma Hope Deeks. I guess now you know why I'm calling..." Deeks said, but didn't say anything more.
"Hey, Charlie," Kensi said, with a grin at Deeks. "Sounds like the thing between you and Wikipedia worked out. Glad to hear it." Charlie told them.
"Dad," A child yelled on Charlie's end of the phone call.
"You have to go?" Kensi asked Charlie. "Yeah, you two take care of each other." Charlie told them
"Oh, I promise we will and little Emma too." Marty promised and it was not long after that the call was disconnected.
