"No nothing is wrong, you're just having twins."
Kayla and Callen looked at each other. They were having twins! They couldn't believe it.
"Are you sure doctor?" Kayla asked.
"Yes, here you can see one heart and here is the other," the doctor replied pointing at the screen.
Callen and Kayla still couldn't believe it. They were having twins! The doctor gave them an ultrasound picture and Kayla made an appointment for 3 weeks from now.
"I can't believe we're having twins," Kayla spoke as they were in the car on their way to work.
"I know, me neither. I thought it would be just one."
"Yeah me too."
"We'll have 4 kids then in a while. We can handle that right?"
"Yeah, I'm sure we will. It's one more than we thought but I'm sure we can handle it."
"I wonder how the kids will react to this."
"I'm sure they'll be fine."
Kayla looked at the ultrasound picture. She still couldn't believe that she was carrying twins.
15 minutes later they were at work and they sat behind their desks. It was their last day at work before the Christmas break.
"Is that an ultrasound picture?" Kensi asked.
"Yeah it is," Kayla answered.
"Can I see?"
"Sure."
Without saying anything Kayla handed the picture to Kensi. Kensi took the picture and looked at it. A few seconds later her eyes widened.
"You're having twins?!" Kensi exclaimed causing the others to look in her direction.
"Yeah we are, we just found out this morning."
"Wow, congrats."
"Thanks. We both still really can't believe it. We were just expecting to have one not two, so it'll be getting a little used to, but we're happy about it."
"I'm sure you can handle it," Sam spoke.
"Yeah, I'm sure we can. It'll just be getting a little used to. I'm sure it'll go fine with Alyssa just wondering how Mike will be around two new babies."
"I'm sure he'll be fine."
The last day before the Christmas break was quiet. Hetty let everyone go home at 4pm. They thanked her and departed to their homes.
Mike and Alyssa were making Christmas decorations with Kelly.
"Hey guys," Callen spoke.
"Hey daddy, hey mommy," the kids replied without looking up from the decorations.
"What are you making?" Kayla asked as they walked over to the kids.
"I'm making a Christmas tree," Alyssa replied proudly as she held up her decoration.
"That's beautiful sweetie."
"And what are you making Mike?" Callen asked. Mike held up what he was making. "And what's that called?"
"Ball," Mike answered.
"Yes. Is that for in the tree?" Mike nodded.
"You're off for Christmas now?" Kelly asked.
"Yes, 2 weeks off."
"That's nice. How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling good. We actually found out something this morning during the appointment."
"You find out what you're gonna have?"
"Nope, something different. Mike, Alyssa could you please lay down your decorations and look at mommy and daddy. Mommy and daddy have something to tell you."
"What is it mommy?" Alyssa asked as she turned around.
"Well, mommy and daddy told you we're having a baby but this morning at the doctor's we found out we're having two babies."
"You're having twins?" Kelly exclaimed.
"Yes we are."
"That's amazing. Congrats."
"Thanks."
"You're having two babies?" Alyssa asked.
"Yes we are. There are two babies growing inside of me, it's called twins."
"So I'll be having two baby sisters?"
"We don't know that yet. But yes you'll be having two siblings, two sisters, two brothers or a brother and a sister. We don't know yet."
"When will you know?"
"That depends if daddy and me want to know before the babies are born otherwise it will be when the babies will be born."
"I wanna know sooner."
"We'll see."
Kelly packed up her things and was ready to leave.
"Have a nice Christmas everyone."
"Are you coming here for Christmas?" Alyssa asked.
"No sweetie, I'm going to my family but I'll come by Christmas day okay."
"Okay."
Kelly said her goodbyes and went home. Callen and Kayla helped the kids finish their decorations. Once Mike's ball was finished Callen helped him to hang it in the tree.
….
Today was Christmas Eve, normally Callen wouldn't care so much about Christmas but since he had a family he loved Christmas. Callen took Alyssa to go grocery shopping. She was a good little helper. It was pretty busy at the store so it took them more than an hour to get everything. Once everything was put away Kayla started cooking the Christmas dinner. Alyssa helped her. Callen was in the living room watching a Christmas movie with Mike.
Kayla's parents were coming over for dinner tonight.
Just after 4pm Kayla finished with the preparations for dinner. Kayla and Alyssa went upstairs go get changed in their Christmas outfits. Kayla put Alyssa's hair in a braid. Just as they were coming down the stairs the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Alyssa shouted and she ran to the door, followed by Kayla. Alyssa looked through the side window. "It's grandma and grandpa!" Alyssa opened the door. "Grandma! Grandpa!" Alyssa shouted as she gave both of them a hug.
"Hey sweetie," Barbara responded.
"Hey Kayla," Barbara spoke as she hugged her daughter. "How are you?"
"I'm good."
Mike came running towards them as well.
"Nanna!"
"Hey buddy," Max responded as he crouched down and took Mike in his arms.
"Hey guys," Callen spoke.
"Hey G," Barbara replied and gave her son-in-law a hug.
Callen carried their bags to the guest room. Barbara and Alyssa set the table as Kayla went to prepare dinner. The boys sat in the living room. Mike sat on his grandfather's lap and watched the movie he was watching before.
Just after 6pm the entire family sat down to eat.
"It looks delicious," Barbara spoke.
"Thanks, I hope it tastes delicious too."
Kayla had made a turkey with beans and mashed potatoes. Mike sat next to Kayla in his high chair. Kayla put a bit of mashed potatoes on his plate and cut a piece of turkey in smaller pieces and did the same with the beans. Mike took his spoon and started eating. In the background they had some Christmas music playing.
The food was really delicious. Everyone was full when they had finished.
"Mom, dad, G and I have something we wanna share with you," Kayla spoke as they finished their food.
"What is it?" Barbara asked her daughter, wondering what I was.
"G and I are having twins."
"Oh my god, that's amazing, congratulations."
Barbara went to hug her daughter and son-in-law.
"Have far along are you?"
"12 weeks now. We just found out a couple days ago that it'll be twins."
"That's amazing. I'm happy for you too."
Max came to congratulate them as well.
Barbara helped her daughter clean up afterwards and they loaded everything into the dishwasher.
"I can't believe you're pregnant again. I know how much trouble it was to get pregnant with Mike."
"Yeah, we didn't really have it planned. Imagine our surprise to find out we're having twins."
"Yeah, I can imagine. What do the kids think of it?"
"Alyssa loves it. Mike doesn't really understand yet. Alyssa hopes she'll get a baby sister."
"You don't know yet?"
"Nope, doctor didn't mention she could see it. Not sure if we wanna know. We'll see."
"I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks mom, so are we."
Once everything was cleaned up they joined the others in the living room. Alyssa had pulled out the twister game. Max turned the spinner as Barbara held Mike. The first few moves were pretty easy.
"Kayla, left foot on green."
Kayla looked at the green row. There was only one green left and it was behind Callen. Kayla maneuvered her leg around Callen and placed it on green.
"Comfortable honey?" Callen joked.
"Not really."
Alyssa's legs were too small so she couldn't reach her next color which caused her to fall down. Alyssa sat on the couch and watched Kayla and Callen. They were pretty tangled up in each other.
"Kayla, right foot on red."
The only way to get her foot on red was to go over Callen. With one hand on yellow, one hand on red and one foot on green she put her leg over Callen and put her right foot on red. She was almost sitting on Callen's lap.
"G, right hand on red."
The dots closest to him where already filled up. So he moved his right hand underneath Kayla and planted it behind her right foot. It was a pretty awkward position they found themselves in.
"Kayla, left hand on blue."
There was a spot free under Callen's ass.
"G, right foot on red."
Callen got his foot on red but it was a very uncomfortable position. Kayla half sat on his lap and his head was in between her legs.
"Kayla, left foot on blue."
She looked at her options. How was she going to do this one? She had to maneuver her left food around Callen. But somehow she managed it.
"G, left hand on green."
How was he going to do this? His left and right hand were both on side. He needed to turn around to get his hand on green but his legs were in the way. He tried to reach it but he lost his balance and he fell down causing Kayla to fall down on top of him.
"Well done you two," Barbara spoke.
They sang a few Christmas songs together until it was time to go to bed. Barbara and Max took the kids upstairs to bed. Callen and Kayla sat together on the couch. Kayla was snuggled up to Callen. Callen had his arm around her and gave her a soft kiss on her head.
"You okay honey?" Callen asked.
"Yeah, just a bit tired."
"You can go to bed if you want."
"No, it's okay. I'm really comfortable here."
"Me too. I love you honey."
"I love you too baby."
A little later Kayla's parents came back down.
"Mike is already asleep," Max spoke.
"That's good," Kayla replied.
They sat on the couch and watched Miracle on 34th street together. Once the movie had ended they said their goodnights and went to their room. Just as Callen and Kayla were getting into bed Alyssa walked into their room.
"Mommy, can I sleep downstairs? I wanna see Santa."
"Sure. But you have to promise me you'll go to sleep."
"I will mommy."
"Alright then."
Kayla went down with Alyssa and tucked her in on the couch and put some milk and cookies out for Santa.
A few hours later Callen got out of bed and put his Santa costume on. Quietly he walked downstairs. With the bag of gifts in his hand he quietly walked into the living room. When he was putting the presents under the tree he heard a sleepy voice behind him.
"Santa," Alyssa spoke half asleep.
Callen turned around. He changed his voice a bit.
"Hey sweetie, I heard you were very good this hear. If you go back to sleep like a sweet girl now you can open the presents tomorrow okay."
"Okay Santa. Thank you Santa. I put some milk and cookies out for you."
"I saw, thank you." Callen drank a bit of milk and ate a cookie. "Goodnight sweetie."
"Goodnight Santa."
Alyssa closed her eyes again and Callen walked back upstairs. He quickly changed out of his Santa costume and put it away where the kids wouldn't find it and crawled back into bed.
Early next morning Alyssa came storming into Callen and Kayla's bedroom.
"Mommy, daddy!" Alyssa yelled as she jumped on the bed. "Santa brought a lot of presents. Come look."
"Okay, okay, we're coming. Go wake up grandma and grandpa."
Alyssa run to the guest room as Callen went out to wake Mike. With everyone still in their pajamas they sat around the tree to open the presents. Alyssa took the presents and read the name that was on there and handed it to the person it was for.
30 minutes later all the presents were unwrapped. Alyssa and Mike got a lot of toys to play with. Kayla got a beautiful necklace and matching bracelet and Callen got a new watch. For Barbara and Max there was a present too. Barbara got a new blender and Max got a new toolbox.
"There is one more present mommy," Alyssa spoke as she saw a present deep under the tree.
"Who is it for?"
Alyssa took the present and read what was on the present. "Babies Callen."
"Hmmm, who's that for?"
"My little baby siblings."
"Yes, I think you're right. Why don't you open it."
Alyssa opened the package and pulled out to little stuffed teddy bears.
"Aw, I'm sure the babies will love these." Alyssa handed the bears to Kayla. "What do we say then?"
"Thank you Santa," Mike and Alyssa yelled.
Callen cleaned up as Kayla went to prepare breakfast and Barbara and Max took the kids upstairs to get dressed.
The whole family sat down to eat Christmas breakfast. After breakfast Max and Barbara packed up their stuff and went home. Just after noon Kelly arrived.
"Hey guys," Kelly spoke as she walked in. "Santa brought these gifts at my house but they are for you. He asked me to give them to you."
Kelly handed the gifts to the kids and they happily tore the wrapper off. Alyssa got a new Barbie doll and Mike got a truck.
"Thank you Santa," Alyssa spoke.
"Twank you Santa," Mike said.
"Did you guys have fun yesterday with Grandpa and Grandma?"
"Yes, I helped mommy make dinner and we watched a movie and we did twister and we sang some Christmas songs," Alyssa answered.
"That's nice. I've gotta go again. Got a plane to catch."
"Have fun," Kayla spoke and showed her out.
Kayla and Callen packed their suitcases as well and the kids' too. They were going to Hawaii for a week.
Alyssa and Mike behaved really well on the plane. When they got off the plane they all got a flower necklace. They took a cab to their hotel and checked in. They were staying in the Hilton Hawaiian Village in an ocean view room with 2 double beds. They checked in and a bellhop brought their suitcases upstairs. Callen tipped him as the kids explored the room.
"Wow this is beautiful," Alyssa spoke.
Kayla opened the door to the lanai and they looked out at the ocean. They quickly unpacked their suitcases and got dressed in their swimwear. They found a spot to put their towels down. Callen inflated the floaties for Mike as Kayla rubbed some sunscreen on the kids before they could go swimming. Once ready the entire family dove into the water. Alyssa was a little water bug, she loved to swim. They stayed at the pool until it was time to go eat dinner. They freshened up and went downstairs to eat in the hotel. Just as they finished eating Callen saw Danny. He remembered him from when he and Sam went to Hawaii to get Dracul.
"Hey Danny," Callen called.
Danny looked in their direction. He and Steve walked up to them.
"Hey Callen. Steve, this is special Agent Callen, Sam's partner. They were here when you were away."
"Ah yes, nice to meet you, tell Sam I said hello."
"I will. He's still waiting on that steak dinner you owe him."
"Yeah I know."
"Danny, you remember Kayla."
"Ah yes, nice to see you again. These your kids?"
"Yes we're on family vacation for a week."
"You two got married?"
"Yes we did and about 2 years ago we had Mike. I already had Alyssa from a previous relationship but G is her daddy too. Kensi and Deeks got married too and they have a little girl."
"I knww they would end up together."
"We've gotta run," Steve spoke. "It was nice meeting you."
"Nice meeting you too," Kayla replied.
Steve and Danny left and Callen and Kayla sat back at the table. There was a show that was about to start. It had some Hawaiian music and Hawaiian dances. One of the dancers asked Alyssa and Kayla out on stage.
"Come on mommy," Alyssa spoke as she pulled Kayla to the stage.
Callen took out the camera and started filming. Kayla and Alyssa tried their best to do the dance. It was actually fun to do. A little later Mike had fallen asleep so they went upstairs. They put Mike in his travel bed and the three of them sat on the lanai until it was time for Alyssa to go to bed. Kayla and Callen sat there for a little longer just enjoying the beautiful view.
The next day they went swimming with dolphins. Alyssa was very excited, Mike was a little bit scared. Kayla went in with Alyssa first. They sat on the edge of the pool and the trainer called a dolphin over to them. The dolphin stuck it's head in between Kayla and Alyssa. They petted him so they could get to know the dolphin. Then the trainer explained them what to do. They stood at the side of the pool and Alyssa did the sign for hand shake. The dolphin came out of the water and stuck his fin out to Alyssa. Alyssa took it in her hand before the dolphin went back down. Alyssa gave him a piece of fish when he came back up. Next Alyssa sent the dolphin tail surfing backwards through the water. Kayla sent the dolphin back in the water and made it do a jump. After a few more tricks they went in the water with the dolphin, Kayla first. Kayla lay in the water and waited for the dolphin to swim by and she grabbed his fin. Together with the dolphin she surfed through the water. The dolphin went back to the trainer and Alyssa gave him a piece of fish. Next the trainer sent out two dolphins and Kayla balanced on their noses. Before she went out she gave both dolphins a kiss. Next it was Alyssa's turn. Alyssa lay in the water and a dolphin swam up to here upside down. Alyssa took both of his fins and surfed on his belly. Alyssa was all smiles as she was guided through the water. After a few more laps with the dolphins Alyssa gave them a kiss too before she got out.
"That was so awesome! They swim so fast!" Alyssa exclaimed as she got out of the water.
"Glad you loved it."
Next it was Callen and Mike's turn. Mike was a bit afraid so Callen carried him. They sat in the water and greeted the dolphins. Carefully Mike petted the dolphins and gave them a piece of fish. Callen did the sign for hand shake and he held Mike's hand out so he could shake the dolphin.
"Very good buddy."
Since Mike was too young he couldn't go swimming with the dolphins but he did give the dolphins a kiss. Callen handed Mike off to Kayla and he got in the water with the dolphins. Mike and Alyssa looked at Callen swimming with the dolphin. When they were done they bought the pictures and videos before going back to the resort.
On their way back to the resort the bus suddenly came to a quick stop in the middle of the freeway.
