Kensi survived two days at the hospital, with Deeks almost spending them with her. He didn't want to leave her side even though she practically begged him to. According to her, he was getting over- protective... so much in fact, that he didn't even let her go to the bathroom by herself.

In the afternoon of her two day stay, the doctor was finally able to tell her the results. So, as soon as he stepped a foot inside her room, Kensi quickly sat up on her bed, ready to listen.

"All right, I have the results back... good news, you get to go home today"

Kensi smiled and sighed deeply.

"Yeah, I guess that's a relief" Dr. Harley commented, smiling.

"You got that right" Deeks commented.

"All right, um... now the test result. The bleeding was caused by the repositioning of the placenta to the cervix"

"What does that mean?"

"It basically means that it moved. could be because of the baby or even by a sudden movement. Just to be clear, it wasn't anything you done. Um, it should get back in place on it's own but, in case it doesn't, we can't deliver the baby naturally as it's practically closing its path"

"Okay... how would you know if it moved?" Kensi asked, giving her full attention.

"By the end of your pregnancy, the placenta would be much clearer on the ultrasound. Just to be sure, we would check and if so, we will have to do a C- Section" Dr. Harley explained.

Kensi took a deep breath and glance a little at Deeks.

"I'm a little concerned by your blood pressure it's quite high"

"Yeah, well... I kind of freaked out"

"Well, you need to calm down. This was kind of a way your baby telling you to slow down and rest. And that means, from this point forward, full bed rest"

"Seriously...?"

"Yes, aside from that, your vitals fine and so is your baby's. You just need to calm down"

"And no discussions" Deeks butted in.

Kensi let out a small chuckle...

"Yeah, listen to Marty here. And you better understand the meaning of bed- rest"

"Yes, doctor"

"All right, I'll get your discharge papers and you may head home"

It wasn't until an hour later when Deeks and Kensi were walking their way out of the hospital. Apparently, the term 'bed-rest' had taken a different route to Deeks as he insisted on having to wheel her back to the car but, Kensi held her ground and he accepted (totally out of the blue). Along the car ride, just like always, Kensi's hand was placed onto her stomach and Deeks kept glancing at her from one minute to another.

They arrived back home at about 5:30pm. As a gentleman that he was, Deeks first helped Kensi out of the car then grabbed the one bag that Kensi had taken with her. Stepping inside, Deeks saw Kensi washing up the dishes.

"What part of bed-rest did you not understand?" Deeks asked, walking towards her.

"I'm just doing the dishes, Deeks. As you can see, someone had left them here"

"I left them because I was too busy worrying about my princess. Now, come on... let's go to bed" Deeks replied, taking the plate out of her hands and grabbing her from the shoulders, pulling her away from the sink.

"Oh come on... I'm not doing any damage here" Kensi protested.

"Don't care, let's go"

"I am not spending seven weeks in bed, Deeks"

"Well, you have to. The doctor said it's precaution so..."

"That doesn't mean I have to stay in bed all the time"

"Wait, do you hear that?" Deeks whispered, suddenly stopping at a halt and looked up.

"Wait..."

"Hmm, the ninja assassin in saying otherwise. Let me see..." Deeks replied, kneeling down and placing his ear on her stomach. Kensi sighed and let her head back... "Hmm, hm... oh yeah, you're totally right" Deeks began mumbling. He stood back up and said... "See, even baby Deeks is saying that you should rest"

"Are you going to do this on everything"

"Pretty much. Now, hustle up"

Kensi sighed deeply as they both walked their way to their bedroom. She kind of adored overprotective Deeks... in some weird way, she found it adorable. She was sure that he was doing his best and she couldn't argue.

"All right, see that... nice and comfortable" Deeks said, as he tucked her in.

"Or nice and boring" Kensi commented.

"Whine all you want... this is what the doctor said and this is what we are doing so, just embrace it"

Kensi sighed and nodded. Few seconds later, she kind of gasped, alerting Deeks that she felt something.

"Kens, what's wrong?"

"Nothing... here, give me your hand" Kensi replied, smiling as she placed his hand onto her stomach. She moved it around a bit and said...

"Did you feel that?"

"Wow, there is a real ninja in there, I swear"

Kensi chuckled as she seized the moment. She had felt the baby kick before but not like that. Normally, they would be small kicks, lasting only a second.

She tried filling in her time with anything that came to mind: Reading, crossword puzzles, TV... but nothing seemed to be interesting. Well, that until Deeks emerged inside the room, with a tray full of food that Kensi's seemed to be dying for.

"Hmm, what's this?"

"Well, since you'll be stuck here, I figure I will make you some of my delicious blueberry pancakes and also, breakfast in bed. Also, for myself so, don't bulge it all in"

"Wow, you really out done yourself" Kensi said.

"Oh, I know... it's the least I can do for that little rascal in there"

Kensi stared blankly at him, waiting fro another response...

"Oh, and for you too"

"Wow, thank you so much for that concern"

"Oh, come on... I'm kidding. You know I would do anything for you, right?" he asked, smirking as he leaned in for a kiss. Kensi just pitied him and gave him a peck on the lips. "Not exactly what I was hoping but, it'll do for now"

Kensi chuckled as she began digging in.

After the dishes were done, Deeks switched off the kitchen lights and headed for the bathroom to brush his teeth. He was sure that Kensi would be asleep by then and he didn't mind. He knew that as time closed by they will be both over-tired and so, he really wanted her to get enough sleep before.

Walking inside the bedroom, Deeks saw Kensi in the same position as always... with her hand on her stomach. He walked slowly towards her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Pulling away few strands of hair that had fallen over, he caressed her soft cheeks before walking to the other side and climbed into bed himself.

Half an hour later, Deeks still couldn't bring himself to sleep. He kept glancing both ways, not knowing exactly why. Then, he stared at Kensi as she shifted her position ad turned to face him. He turned to his side and smiled, watching her nose twitch as she slept soundly. Sliding sown a bit, he brought his face to her stomach and took a deep breath before he began...

"Hey, there buddy... I can't be too loud because your mummy's sleeping. Um, you scared me a little last time, you know? And I could tell that your mummy was scared as well, even if she didn't want to show it. But, like... how could we not, right? I mean, we are very excited to meet you. Just hang in there, all right? Just a few more weeks and you'll get to have the greatest pleasure to meet your mum because, letting you in a little secret, she is the greatest in the world and I am sure that she's going to love you as much as I love her, which is a lot. Okay, so that's it for now okay. Let's get some sleep... oh, and don't be too hard on your mum. It's bad enough that there's me over here..." he began, chuckling at the last part. He wasn't sure why he was doing that but it just felt right. "Good night, buddy... love you" he finished, placing a slow kiss onto her stomach.

Sliding back to his pillow, Deeks drew closer to Kensi and threw his arms around her waist, pulling her slightly towards him. Staring at her for a split second, he smiled and managed to close his eyes as well. Little did he know that the little conversation that he just had was heard by Kensi who was almost crying in the end.
