AN: Thank you all! I didn't expect such an overwhelming response! I hope you like this as much as you liked the first chapter =)

„We think we found your parents."

Cassie felt like in trance. Her parents. No, her parents were Marty and Kensi Deeks. They had found this traitors. After all those years.

She didn't know how exactly it happened, but somehow she sat on the beach, leaning into her dad. Her real dad. Marty. She didn't cry, no, but she was shocked. He just hold her, said nothing, because he knew right now there was nothing he could say.

After a few minutes, the white fog in her brain disappeared and she could start thinking again.

„Where? Where are they?"

„On an airport. Security camera filmed them as they were boarding a plane. They look different, but it's definitifly them."

„All of them?"

„Yeah. All three." Cassie didn't know if she should be happy about that. Of course, that meant they were all still alive, but on the other hand... they had been together the whole time. The whole time they had stayed together, at least most probably. And she? They had left her. They had left her with nothing, left her to go to forstercare. She had seen her parents testament, there was nothing that indicated they took care of her. No: If something happens to us, we want Jessica to be raised by...

Nothing.

She once again realized how lucky she had been. She had found a new family, a better family. She knew neither her dad nor her mom nor her grandmother Julia would ever leave her. She snuggled deeper into her dads side and asked:

„Do we know where they are heading?"

He took a deep breath, and answered: „Flight goes to LA. They should be here tomorrow 9 am. We're going to be there, get them and ask where the hell they've been. Do you want to..."

„No. No, they left me. I don't care about them." It was not really a lie. While she loved her new, no that felt wrong to think, her parents with all her heart, she hated her old parents with nearly the same strength. Her parents had tried to take away that hatred, but she knew they weren't exactly happy with those traitors either so it hadn't been that convincing. Just right now she could see the anger in her dads face, not towards her, but towards these traitors. He was angry because she was hurt.

„Okay. At least tomorrow is sunday, so now school. I think it would be best if you and the little ones go to Julia. I don't want you to be alone when... when they are here. You can help her bake. We need at least one woman named Deeks who can cook."

Cassie chuckled. That was one of the things she loved about her dad: He could always make her laugh. Even after her first boyfriend left her and she cried through the whole night, he had managed to at least make her smile again (The next morning he and her mom had payed the poor guy a visit and he never got near her again. She didn't find out the reason till half a year later her best friend heard rumors. She had pretended to be angry at them shortly, but she wasn't really and they knew. They had just protected her.). Right now, she chuckled because she and anything related to a kitchen was hopeless. Just like her mom, she had zero talent in this field. It was a running gag in their family.

„Where's mom?" she asked.

„She's picking up Lexie from the bookclub. I still can't believe our little Lexie goes to the bookclub."

Cassie smiled. „Well, you enjoy reading, too."

„So do you, but a bookclub? With seven?"

„She's a genious. Probably that's only the beginning."

„That's what makes it so scary."

Cassie laughed. It was so good to be with her dad.

„Kayla's still at the cinema?"

„Yeah. Movie ends at three pm."

„Don't even think of picking her up. It's a date."

„Exactly the reason I should be picking her up!" They had had this discussion before. Kayla was out with her first boyfriend, a really nice and absolutely shy guy. Cassie liked him, but her dad was not so sure. She could understand him, as a dad it was basically his job-description not to like him.

„Ty's a nice guy. He's gonna bring her home in time, just like always."

„I still don't like it."

Cassie smiled. It was good that after such a message, there was such a normal conversation.

AN: That's it for today. I wanted to show a bit domesticallyness between Cassie and Deeks. In my mind she's a daddy's girl. Tell me what you think!
