A/N: Here's the next chapter... hope you like it even though it's short. Please be patient with me, I'll post the next chapter as soon as possible but I have to work pretty long hours at the moment.
"Hi mom, it's Kensi," she said as soon as Julia picked up the phone.
"Oh hey, how is he doing?" Kensi had to smile a little, of course she asked about Deeks.
"I think he's still shocked and confused. He didn't expect to meet his mother. He needs to sort out his head."
"That's expectable. Where is he? You're with him?" Julia wouldn't be surprised but guessed Kensi wouldn't have called then.
"No, I'm at home. He went to the beach. He'll call me when he's ready and willing to talk. I'm just waiting. So I thought I call you to see how you and… Marie is doing. How did she react? She didn't know he would be there so I guess she was just as shocked." Kensi was curious about Marie. Deeks had never talked much about his past, barely nothing about his mother. She also didn't know what had happened between them.
"It took her some moments but then she cried her heart out. She says she's regretting so many things but didn't say more. Do you know what happened between them?"
"No, he never said much about her. Did she tell you anything?"
"No."
"Mom, do you think she wants to see him again?" Kensi asked tentatively. She remembered how difficult it had been between Julia and herself but also knew that she didn't regret taking that step.
"I'm sure she does. I could see it in her eyes. She loves him but doesn't know what to do now. I guess, she hopes he'll come to her. I think, she's afraid to do anything in case he rejects her. She asked about his phone number though."
"That's a good thing."
"What will you tell him when he calls you?" Julia knew that Kensi had some influence on her partner. Of course, he couldn't force him into doing anything he doesn't want but at least he would listen.
"I honestly don't know. I hope he'll tell me about their past. It's hard to tell now."
"You're probably right."
In that moment Kensi got a signal for a second call on her mobile phone. She knew it would be Deeks.
"Mom, I just get a call, I think he's ready."
"Okay honey, go see him. Tell him it's worth the fight."
"Okay, bye mom."
She immediately took the next call.
"Deeks?"
"Yeah," he sounded exhausted but she was glad he called.
"Want me to meet you at your place?"
"No, just come down to the beach."
"Okay… you're good?" She just needed some reassurance. Knowing almost nothing about what she should expect she just wanted to know which mood he was in.
"I'll be as soon as you're here," he told her honestly.
She was touched by his words. Even though she had nothing to do with the thoughts he had running through his head he let her in. And she would do anything to help him.
"I'll be there in some minutes," she told him before she hung up the phone.
