I don't own NCIS Los Angeles! Please review and favorite!

Sam was overwhelmed at home. His wife was caring to him, and his daughter wanted to play doctor too. Sam liked the offer of his daughter. Michelle watched Sam lay on the couch in the living room with their daughter laying with him. Michelle smiled at that slight. "Um Nicole wanna help mommy set up the table for dinner?" Michelle asked. Nicole looked at her dad, Sam nodded. The small child got up and ran over. Michelle had one last glance at Sam until entering the dinning room. She and Nicole set up the table, Nicole sat down in her chair waiting. Michelle walked back into the living room seeing Sam asleep. Michelle leaned against the wall, she let out a deep breathe.

"Oh Sam," She said.

Michelle walked over and put a blanket over him, she heard him say something quietly. Michelle leaned near him and heard, "I'm sorry."
Michelle gasped and stood away, she looked at her husband. He was having a nightmare. Michelle was shaking Sam.

"Sam-Wake up." Michelle said.

Sam opened his eyes, "Mich-elle?"

Michelle smiled, "You were having a nightmare. You OK?"

He nodded, "Dinner ready?"

Michelle nodded, "Yeah but first tell me what you're sorry about." She said.

Sam stood up looking at his wife, "Nothing Michelle."

Michelle stood too, "Look Sam I can't begin to understand what you and Detective Deeks went through. I-I'm just worried about you.
You've been having nightmares since you came home. Sam, tell me what's wrong."

Sam sat back down, he put his hands on his head. He let out deep breathes. Michelle sat down, she was being there for him. She was rubbing his back.

"I feel guilty." Sam said.

"Guilty?"

Sam nodded, "Deeks is an ass but-. He took most of the beating, I overheard the doctors say they were thinking he might have some kind of brain damage from the crowbar."

Michelle touched his arm, "But he is fine. No brain damage, just a slight bit dental issues. Sam, he is going to be fine." She said.

Sam nodded, "Yeah I don't know. I guess I just figured he'd give up all the information the moment the torture began. He didn't seem like the fighter type."

Michelle looked at the floor, "People can surprise you."

Sam nodded, "Yeah."

Michelle heard the door open, "Are we eating?" It was Nicole.

Michelle nodded, "Yes sweetie." She said.

Both her and Sam stood up, heading to the dinning room. There has been a slight strain on their relationship cause of this, not just Sam's with his wife. He thinks Deeks might be pissed at him or even worst. He just has to find out Monday.

Didn't know what Sam & Michelle's daughter is named so I named her Nicole... umm next chapter soon.
