Chapter 3:

"what are you pregnant?"

Deeks said laughing choosing to take everything in humour like he always did instead of showing her how worried he actually was. But when he didn't feel her fist come into contact with his arm or a scathing comment directed his way he glanced towards her only to see a horrified expression contorting her face which had turned to an even whiter colour than it had been in the Davies' house.

Deeks' jaw dropped.

"Kensi.." he said not really knowing what to say exactly,

"Kens you're not...? You're...?" but he watched Kensi's breathing quicken and when she turned to him he could see the panic on her face,

"Kensi" but she wasn't paying him any attention. Deeks quickly pulled over to the side of the road and turned to face her placing a hand on her shoulder. She turned to him after a couple of seconds with a weak smile on her face,

"This is ridiculous Deeks there's no way I'm pregnant!" she said,

"I mean I can't be...we...we used, you know" she said hoping that Deeks would get the point,

"Not 100% Kens" he said softly,

"I'm on the pill as well!" she said and he could tell she was panicking,

"Yeah I don't know the stats of that one so much" he said lightly and she just nodded,

"It's okay Deeks just...drive" she finished softly but he nodded and started up the car again.

Kensi could be pregnant. Kensi..pregnant. Kensi might be a mother. The thought kept swirling around his head even when he shook it in attempt to clear the confusing thoughts. It was when they were half way back to the office that Deeks made a right turn into a small block of shops. He had watched Kensi twisting her hands in her lap nervously and knew that if she bit her lip any more she'd most likely draw blood.

Kensi just looked ahead, out the window, at the small chemist. It was only when Deeks lay a hand on her shoulder that she startled and turned to look at him. She felt her hands shake but focused on him,

"It'll be alright Kens no matter what happens" he said and she was thankful that he didn't try and joke his way out of this one like he normally did. Pushing her thoughts and emotions back she straightened up knowing that he had stopped for a reason and knowing that there was no way she would be able to get through the afternoon like this. Damn Deeks.

How could she have not thought about it? It was three weeks since she went on the last date. The date that had ended in Michael something's bed and her sneaking out the next morning. But they had been...safe. God she hated how that sounded. Deeks' hand back on her shoulder startled her out of her thoughts and she took a deep breath before grabbing her bag and getting out the car.

"I'll be back in a second thanks Deeks" she said in a voice she didn't recognise as her own before she shut the door and quickly headed inside. She walked the isles until she found what she was looking for.

Boxes. There were boxes upon boxes most of them pink and the thought made her wanted to throw up. She almost rolled her eyes. It's probably not the colour making you want to throw up.

Five minutes later she felt him walk up behind her. Reaching forward Deeks pulled one of the boxes of the shelf and handed it to her. She stared down at it,

"So does this promote me to best friend material. This is what best friends do right?" Deeks said and Kensi felt herself smile at Deeks' stupid comment but at the same time she felt herself relax. He smiled at her and turned to walk towards the counter but she instead grabbed several more boxes before joining him at the counter. He smiled at her and pulled out his wallet quickly paying for them not allowing her to object.

"You didn't have to do that Deeks" she said as they exited the shop knowing that the owner was still giving them a sickeningly sweet smile.

"Thanks" she said after he shrugged and shook his head,

"Where do you want to go? Home or..?" he asked and she waited until they had both got back in the car before answering,

"Can we just go back to the office, I don't want to go home yet" Deeks nodded and reached across grabbing her hand,

"Whatever happens Kens you know we're all here" he said and she smiled feeling her eyes well. She frowned feeling the moisture. Since when did cry. She didn't.

As they got out of the car Kensi smiled at Deeks doing what she did best. She was good at faking at lying at hiding, she could do this.

"Don't tell anyone hey?" Deeks nodded at her request,

"Okay" he pulled the door open and they both slipped into the ops office. Her mask as flawless like it always was when she wanted it to be and he had to marvel at her skill. She was a true operator and it was at times like this that he could truly see it. Not when she was told to act, told to step into another's life and play them. To become them but when she was wanting to become someone else on her own time. Wanted to hide away herself and all that she was feeling. Still, he was her partner and he still caught the slight tenseness in her frame and the way that her hands fiddled with anything in reach. The other boys had noticed too, he knew, Callen and Sam exchanging worried glances with each other before letting their eyes run over the junior agent as if that would tell them the problem. It wasn't long before she disappeared upstairs after muttering she needed to use the bathroom and Deeks quickly focused on the paper in front of him knowing the firing squad in the form of and ex-seal and a top NCIS agent was about to turn his way,

"what's up?" Callen asked as Kensi disappeared from view behind the females' door but Deeks just shook his head,

"Nothing" he said but cringed as the senior agent in charge placed his pen down and turned to face him raising an eyebrow and leaning back in his chair,

"Did we seriously hire you to lie for a living?" Callen said and Sam chuckled from his desk. Deeks sighed,

"I can't tell you" Deeks said quietly before quickly glancing up towards the bathrooms. He almost immediately regretted his actions when he caught the two other agents mimic him.

"What did you do?" he turned to see Sam's smirk,

"You always assume that it's me don't you?" he said forcing a small grin over his face hoping to convince the agents that he and Kensi had struck a fight. He'd rather have them angry at him that poking around at her. He sighed not able to stop his gaze from drifting upstairs every few minutes.

When Eric whistled not more than five minutes later the trio stood their chairs scraping on the ground and headed up the stairs. As they went to walk into the ops room Deeks hesitated.

"I'll get Kensi" Deeks said when Sam turned back around to look his way. He raised an eyebrow but just shrugged and nodded before walking further into the room sharing a concerned look with Callen. Deeks moved towards the door and knocked gently,

"Kens" he said quietly hoping not to bring anymore attention than was necessary to the situation. Several seconds later with no reply he placed his palm on the door and gently pushed it open,

Kensi stood at the sink and he could see her hands shaking from his spot several metres away. She looked up at him and she didn't need to show him the result of the test, it was written over her face. He crossed the room in seconds the door swinging closed behind him and for probably the first time Kensi let Deeks wrap his arms around her.

"I'm scared" she whispered into his neck and he just pulled her tighter,

"We've got you" he promised and she nodded. When Deeks pulled back he smartly ignored the tear that ran down her face however was swiped angrily away before it could reach her chin.

"I …I .Hetty?" Kensi said and Deeks nodded,

"Ok" he squeezed her hand before turning from the room,

"It's going to be fine Kensi" he said and she nodded,

"Thanks Deeks" he knew she wasn't convinced that she was still in shock. Hell, he was in shock. Kensi, his partner, pregnant. A mother. He shook his head trying to get everything to make sense. All he knew was that he would be there for her, she was his best friend and partner through and through and he'd be there for her through everything. While he couldn't promise her that he wouldn't die, or that he wouldn't leave her because he wouldn't promise her those things, couldn't, not in their job, in their line of work where everything could be taken away in seconds. But he had promised her that he'd always have her back and it was exactly what he planned to do.
