We spent two hours with the lawyer and were surprised it took us that long, we had fully expected it to take us longer. In that time we had managed to update all her information, discussed if we wanted her last name to remain as it was and then decided that since she didn't have a middle name we would make her last name her middle name, just so she some way of knowing who she was. We had updated her medical records and added who she would go to if anything was to ever happen to Kensi and I. Just as our meeting was finishing Hetty walked in with our new schedule, and we discussed it making sure we were both happy with it, before I was pulled aside by Hetty. Kensi headed back to the bull pen and I waited for Hetty to start speaking, when she didn't I started
"What can I do for you Hetty?" I asked and she handed me a classified folder. Confused I opened it, and read what it was
"I think its time you resigned from the L.A.P.D and joined NCIS. I would be more able to control your hours. Besides I think you've more than earned it Mr Deeks" she said and I smiled slightly. As a matter of fact, for the past coupe of months I had been thinking of joining NCIS more often. This was were I belonged, I may have the street built into me but that wouldn't change, I would still have my contact and that would make it easier.
"Do you have a pen?" I asked and Hetty held out a fountain pen. Smiling I signed it and handed it back to her. Handing her my L.A.P.D badge and service weapon she smiled and walked away. Smiling to myself I made my way back into the bullpen and noticed that Kensi was watching over Nell like a mother hen, making sure she was doing everything right and that Nikki was fine.
I wrapped my arms around Kensi's waist and she relaxed a little into my embrace before she turned in my arms and searched for a clue as to what me and Hetty had been talking about. When she didn't find any she asked
"So what was that about?" I smiled and shrugged heading to my desk and grabbing the carrier from beside my desk, before walking around the bullpen and making sure that we had everything that we had come in with that morning.
"How long do you have off?" Sam asked
"Two weeks" Kensi said going back to her protective mother hen stance trying to intimidate Nell.
"Thats not very long and you have to buy the approriate things for a six month old, settle down, unpack and get yourselves into a routine. Thats going to be hard isn't it?" Callen asked and I smiled
"We have each other, besides we were the ones who looked after her over the last week and a half whilst working on this case, we have a lot of stuff already. I know we can make this work" I told them determined to not fail Nikki.
"We know Deeks, you and Kens have it sussed. You'll be fine" Sam said and we smiled.
"What are you three still doing here? You have alot to do before you can get settled tonight" Hetty said pretty much shooing us out of the bullpen. Everyone said there goodbyes to Nikki and we made our way out of the building toward our car.
