NCIS: Los Angeles

Ellery Grace

Chapter Four

It had been a whole month that Deeks had been looking after Ellery and her mother had showed no signs of waking up. Her injuries were going great but her, she wasn't waking up and it was scaring them all. Kensi had been moved into her own private room and they all had Madison to thank for that.

They were all sitting around in Kensi's room on their day off. Eric, Nell, Callen, Sam, Hetty, Julia, Madison and Deeks had even brought a sleeping Ellery in. They were all eating a cardboard pizza that Eric and Nell had picked up from a pizzeria just up the street.

"Hey guys, what did I miss when Kensi was pregnant with Ellery?" Deeks asked. Sam, Callen, Nell, Eric, Hetty and Julia all looked around at each other smiling as they remembered some of the things that had happened.

"She got bossy!" Sam said as he remembered helping her pack up her old apartment and move into the new one.

"Really? She's already bossy!" Deeks said.

"She got worse!" Sam said.

"And the mood swings!" Eric said.

"Callen be careful! That box has the plates and bowls in there! Don't break them!" Kensi said as she watched Callen pick up a box.

"Sam! Where the heck are you? I told you to pick up the box on my bed and put it in my car…half an hour ago! What are you doing in there?" Kensi asked as she headed towards her bedroom.

"Sorry Kens! I was looking at the pictures sitting on top," Sam said raising his hands in defence before picking the box up. Kensi glared at Sam.

"I told you to get the box not look at the photos! Geez! Do what I ask next time!" Kensi said as she picked up a photo. It was one of her and Deeks at a staff party. The pair were smiling at the camera and they looked happy. Kensi looked at the photo and felt tears pool in the corners of her eyes.

Eric walked into Kensi's bedroom to find her clutching a photo in her hands with tears rolling down her cheeks. Not knowing what to do he quickly turned around and walked out. This was something Nell was needed for. One minute she had been yelling at Sam and Callen the next she was crying. Only like 5 more months of these mood swings. YAY!

"Wait, you just walked out?" Deeks asked. Eric nodded.

"Seriously Deeks, you try helping her and then she'd bite your head off! I'm not kidding. She even yelled at Hetty!" Eric said looking at their boss. Deeks looked at Hetty dumb founded. Wow! He so wished he'd been there for that one.

"Mr. Callen and Mr. Hanna you go and investigate the crime scene and interview any suspects that have been recorded," Hetty said. The pair nodded.

"What about me Hetty?" Kensi asked.

"You my dear should sit down and rest. For here on in you are on desk duty. Especially after you disobeyed orders yesterday," Hetty said.

"I did not disobey orders! The killer was running and if I hadn't followed him he would have got away," Kensi said trying to remain calm.

"You were not even meant to be there Miss. Blye," Hetty said.

"I am not invalid! I can look after myself!" Kensi said.

"In case you have forgotten Miss. Blye you are carrying a baby. You are going to be a single mother and you need to take care of yourself," Hetty said.

"Yeah? Well I wouldn't be a single mother if had just given him the damn papers to sign! If you had, he wouldn't have been LAPD anymore! He would have been NCIS and then he wouldn't have gone undercover! How could you?" Kensi yelled back.

"I was doing what was best for this agency Miss. Blye,' Hetty said. Sam and Callen looked at each other. Kensi was going to blow a gasket!

"Kens, calm down. Stress isn't good…" Callen began before getting cut off.

"If you value your life you will shut the hell up right now!" Kensi said glaring at him. "And Hetty, you were doing what's best for the agency? What the hell about doing what was best for Deeks? You let him go out there and get killed. You signed his death warrant! Who the hell are you because you sure as hell are not the woman I knew and trusted?" Kensi yelled before storming out with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Callen and Sam looked at each other before looking at Hetty and then Eric and Nell.

"Mr. Callen, Mr. Hanna you may leave now," Hetty said keeping a calm composure. She knew that Kensi was pregnant and therefore hormonal but she did not expect that kind of outburst.

"Wow!" Deeks said looking at the team.

"Yeah. A pregnant Kensi defiantly is an interesting one!" Nell said with a smile.

"Not something I am at all proud to have missed," Deeks said sadly.

"There are plenty more stories to be shared," Julia said with a smile. Deeks smiled. He knew there would be. There was a small cry that was heard and Deeks looked in to see that Ellery had woken up and was beginning to fuss. Julia picked her up before Deeks had the chance to and took her out to feed her and just take her for a walk.

"She was scared to though," Madison said remembering the time when Kensi had rushed to her apartment scared when her feet swelled rapidly.

"Madison! Madison!" Kensi said as she knocked on her neighbour's door. Madison opened the door and Kensi had tears in her eyes.

"Kens, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Madison asked. Kensi shook her head.

"You said to tell you if my feet swelled really quickly. They have. Madi, I'm scared," Kensi said. Madison quickly ushered Kensi towards her couch so that she could lie down. During the pregnancy so far Kensi had struggled with high blood pressure. Just as Kensi was about to lie down she blacked out and that sent alarm bells off instantly.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"Hi my name is Dr. Madison Keller and I have a pregnant woman in her 20's that has collapsed and I need an ambulance here immediately," Madison said. Within 3 minutes there was an ambulance there and paramedics helping to carefully load the pregnant Kensi onto the stretcher.

When Kensi woke next she was lying in a hospital bed with Madison checking all her vitals and the vitals of her baby.

"Madi?" Kensi asked groggily.

"Hey Kensi. You're okay," Madison said.

"What's happened?" Kensi asked with a look of complete and utter fear in her eyes.

"We're just running some tests but you blood pressure is high and your glucose level is low. Do you remember what happened?" Madison asked.

"I remember seeing that my feet had swollen and I panicked. I remember going to your apartment and then it's black," Kensi said with tears rolling down her cheeks. Madison grabbed her new friends hand.

"Everything is going to be okay Kensi. We're just running a few more tests," Madison said. "Was there someone you wanted to call?" She asked. Kensi shook her head.

"I'll be back soon Kens. I'm going to get your results and then I'll be right back," Madison said. 5 minutes later Madison walked back into the room.

"Kens, did you want me to call someone? Your mom maybe?" Madison asked. Kensi sighed.

"Could I call her please?" Kensi asked. Madison nodded her head and handed her, her hospital cell. Kensi dialled the familiar number for her mom.

"Hello?" her mom asked.

"Mom?" Kensi asked her voice shaky.

"Kensi. What's wrong baby?" Kensi's mom asked.

"Can you, can you come and stay with me? I'm in hospital," Kensi said. That was all it took and her mom was rushing around her house collecting her jacket and keys and rushing to the hospital to be with her daughter. Madison was happy when she saw Kensi's mother arrive and instantly informed her of what was going on and showed her to Kensi's room.

When Kensi saw her mom walk into her room tears started to roll down her cheeks and her mom instantly rushed towards her baby girl. She wrapped her arms around Kensi and held her close.

"I am so scared Mom. I am so scared," Kensi said in between sobs.

"You're not alone sweetie. I will be here for you every step of the way and you're going to be fine. I promise you. You and you're baby are going to be fine."

"She was so terrified that day," Madison said. Deeks looked at the ground.

"I should have been there for her! Damn it! She shouldn't of had to go through that!" Deeks said.

"There was nothing that you could have done. She has diabetes," Madison. "She was lucky she came to me otherwise it could have been a lot worse."

"Talking about me?" a quiet voice says from beside Deeks. Deeks quickly stands and turns to look at his sleeping beauty. He looks down into her miss matched eyes. Callen is quick and standing the other side.

"Kensi!" Callen says with a smile.

"Oh my god! Kensi!" Nell said jumping up and coming to stand beside Callen.

"How long have you been awake?" Sam asked coming to stand next to Deeks.

"Since you started telling stories," Kensi said. Deeks looked at his watch. That was almost an hour ago.

"You've been awake and you haven't said or moved…what the hell Kens?" Deeks asked.

"I was trying to work out if you were a figment of my imagination," Kensi said. Before Deeks could answer Madison came back in with another doctor and they kicked everyone out so that they could go through Kensi's vitals. Deeks walked into the hallway and Julia handed him a peacefully sleeping Ellery.

"She's alive. She's awake!" Deeks said with a massive grin which finally extended to his eyes. His kissed his daughters forehead and smiled at the group. The smile faded when he realized he had a lot of explaining to do.

"I am a dead man walking!" Deeks said looking around at the team who all nodded their heads. After a 20 minute wait Madison and the doctor walked back out.

"She's asking for you Deeks," Madison said.

"Any chance she knows another Deeks?" he asked with a small smile.

"Not a chance!" Sam said before Callen pushed Deeks towards Kensi's door.

"You've got some explaining to do," Callen said with a smile. Deeks gulped and figured she wouldn't try to hurt him while he was holding their daughter.

"You're alive," Kensi said looking at Deeks with tears in her eyes. Deeks nodded his head and walked over to her bed.

"I am. So are you," Deeks said. Kensi nodded.

"Is this…?" Kensi asked nodding at Ellery.

"Ellery Grace. Our daughter," Deeks said with a smile carefully placing her in Kensi's arms. "She's just like you. Even has the same birth mark on her eye," Deeks said with a smile. Kensi looked up at him with a smile and tears rolling down her cheeks.

"She's perfect," she said as she kissed her forehead. Deeks couldn't help but smile. Things were perfect now. He was alive and safe. Kensi was awake which meant the world to him and they had their baby girl. His little family was complete.
