Kensi stood there looking at this small girl. She always knew this would come back to get here. About 9 years ago Kensi had gotten married but after she had gotten pregnant her husband left her and with her job, she couldn't take care of a child, so she had put her only daughter up for adoption.

The room around them had gone silent. She looked at Deeks whose face had gone hard. She couldn't tell if it was out of anger or confusion.

"Will you excuse me?" Kensi finally said. She took Isabelle to a place where they could talk alone. "How did you find me?" Kensi asked after they were alone.

"My parents told me I was adopted when I was 5 and that they didn't want me. We started talking about our family trees in school so I started looking into who my real family was and I found you. Now I've got a question. Why did you give me up?"

"Sweetheart, giving you up was the last thing I wanted to do. But I had just started my job as an NCIS agent and your dad left me so I didn't have a choice. I gave you up because I loved you. But I never expected you to find me."

"Who's my dad?"

"Lets keep this on you and how you got here," Kensi replied not ready to answer that question. "How did you get here?"

"I told my parents I found you and they let me come here. They don't really like me. They figured this was their one chance to get rid of me so they took it."

"I'm sorry, but I did what I had to do for the good of you."

"I know but I don't want to go back there, please don't make me go back!"

"I'll see what I can do. I have to go back to work but I have some friends you can hang out with." Kensi took Isabelle upstairs to see Nell and Eric. They tried asking questions but she told them she'd explain later. She didn't know how much Isabelle would tell them by the time she got back but there was something bigger she had to deal with… Deeks.

She walked downstairs and back into the squad room.

"Ok, let's get back to work," she said quickly as she walked in. She tried her best to avoid Deeks. She really didn't know how to explain all of this. Questions would be asked and answers would not be easy but she would explain everything.

Deeks had been avoiding eye contact with Kensi. He was confused, curious, but not as angry as he thought he would be. The one thing he needed to know is why didn't she ever tell him? He would find out one way or another.

"Ms. Blye," Hetty called as she reappeared in the squad room. Kensi turned around. "May I have a word with you?" Saved by the bell. She took her cue and followed Hetty as she walked away. "I understand you have a surprise visitor," Hetty got to the point quickly as she sat down at her desk.

"Um… yeah, I guess so," Kensi answered her not knowing what else to say.

"You never said anything about a daughter, why is that?"

"I…um… I was embarrassed for giving her up even though I knew it was best for her," Kensi began, tears started swimming in her eyes. "I just didn't know how to tell anyone or how people would treat me if they found out about her."

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. You did what you had to do because you were thinking of your daughter but there's only one person that absolutely needs to know that."

"Deeks, yeah I know," Kensi said finishing her thought. One by one, tears started coming down her cheeks. They finished there conversation about what they were to do with Isabelle and agreed they'd decide later. Kensi got back up and walked to the squad room. When she returned she saw no one but Deeks sitting in the squad room.
