A/N: Hey guys sorry it has taken so long to update this story. I struggled with a couple parts but here it is. Hope you guys enjoy this update. :)

Callen pulled up outside the girlfriends house and turned to Nell "Okay you and Kensi have a lot of female bonding time what's up with her?"

"I don't know your guess is as good as mine." Nell said

"I get the feeling Sam already knows and I don't like the thought that I might be losing my touch here."

Nell lets out a loud laugh "What do you mean losing your touch? You are the leader of the team one of the best."

"Kensi and Deeks came in at separate times this morning in which she hurried off to speak with Hetty and then Deeks comes in with a protein shake and tells her that he made up some snack for her put them in fridge instead of the normal coffee and donuts. I make a small joke about a bet on this new diet she is on to Sam and she snaps at us. Now she chooses not to go out in the field to back up Deeks and we both know she hardly trusts anyone to partner up with him since.."

"Maybe you are losing your touch" Nell interrupted "She changes her diet, chooses not to go out in the field, and snaps at you guys.. not to mention looks like death run over today. Look at all the facts and get back with me and tell me what you discover. But uh maybe we should stick to the case Hetty will be calling us soon to see what we found." Nell was slowly putting the pieces together and she couldn't wait to do all the fun shopping with Kensi and help with the baby shower as she didn't get to help with her friends from college and high school when they had kids.

"Or she already knows we haven't spoken to the girl yet"

Kensi laid on the couch trying to fall asleep for what seemed hours but every time she began dozing off images of Deeks getting hurt in the field startled her awake. She had to get a grip on these thoughts and feelings if she was going to make it through this pregnancy without serious complications. Deciding she wouldn't get any sleep she got up to see what was going on and if they had any leads. Entering OPS she heard Hetty on the phone telling Callen and Nell to get to the crime scene immediately Agent Hanna and Detective Deeks needed back up as they were under fire, who ever killed Sgt Misseldine wants to make sure he isn't caught. Kensi gripped the closest chair to her as the room started spinning and could feel the bile rising in her throat. This is just a dream right she asks herself hoping she wasn't really awake but knew deep down that this was in fact happening. Her partner was in danger and she was going to be sick at thought of what might happen to him.

Deeks and I just talked about the pregnancy and that we just don't think about the day we don't return to our families when we arrived at the crime scene. We weren't able to get far as someone had begun firing off shots at us Deeks was last to find cover and when I called out to see if he was okay but heard nothing I positioned myself as best I could to stay in cover and try to look for him but couldn't. This wasn't going to be good if Deeks was dead Kensi would have my head on a stake in her living room throwing darts at my eyes. I phoned Hetty that we needed back up and possibly medical personnel. The shooter was still firing off shots every time I tried to peek out to find Deeks making it hard for me. He couldn't be a sniper because I would be dead by now, but if he just wanted to scare us or draw out his main target then he would miss on purpose. I phoned Eric to see if he was able to pull up the crime scene on the cameras in the area and locate Deeks and all sniper points and that I think the main target was not Sgt Misseldine but someone within NCIS. I prayed Kensi had retreated down stairs to rest since she got no sleep last night. I hang up and yell "Dammit Deeks you better be faking on me because I surely don't want to face the wrath of Kensi by myself."

The gunshots sounded and I had no cover near by my first instinct was fake it so I did I went down and didn't dare make a move until back up arrived and who knows long that would be depending on who Hetty called and I surely hoped that it wasn't just Callen and Nell she phoned. So many things were going through my mind, the last thing Sam and I talked about. The day we didn't make it home from a case. The one thought that has haunted me since Kens delivered the news this morning, it's weird that the one thing you want most in this world is also the one thing that terrifies you most, I can't leave Kensi behind so I lay still no movement no sound and just pray that soon it will be over and I can hold her in my arms.. after she screams and yells at me for a few minutes... or hours.

Callen and Nell arrived along with back up from LAPD and the gun shots seized. All roof tops were searched and anything deemed useful collected.

Sam insisted Deeks be checked out even though no bullets hit him, claimed it was a piece of mind that Kensi wouldn't skin him alive for putting Deeks in harms way and Deeks laughed at him for being scared of her. "speaking of Kensi please tell me she doesn't know about the gunfire and me being displayed out in clear sight?" Deeks asked

Nell walked up after getting off the phone with Eric "Kensi heard Sam's call."

"Deeks you still got those twinkies?"

"Yeah why?"

"The only hope of us surviving what is coming at us is to give her at least two"

"Is that really gonna work?"

"Take this from someone who has been through this twice. It'll work!"

All of a sudden Callen puts the pieces all together "Wait are you saying you got Kensi pregnant and are now afraid of what she is going to do to you?"

"When you put it like that you make it sound like I did it on purpose and have you not seen the way she takes out a bad guy?" Deeks retorts defensively

Sam laughs and says "Deeks it's gonna be okay."

Upon arriving back at OSP Deeks found Kensi sitting at her desk shoving a twinkie in her mouth. "Uh Fern aren't we suppose to be on a new diet?"

"Shouldn't you have asked yourself that while you were faking dead in the field scaring your pregnant girlfriend?" she asks while going for another twinkie.

Deeks intercepts and intertwines his fingers with hers walking around her desk and pulling her into a hug "I'm sorry I scared you, I didn't mean to and it was my only way of insuring that I could come back to you. I acted on instinct. It's all part of the job sunshine"

"I know it is but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I don't like the thought of not being out there covering you."
