Chapter Four - "Bruises"
"If you are going to keep running off, I think you're going to need better hiding stops" Deeks said as he walked over to Kensi.
"I'm not trying to hide" Kensi said lying. She had run away from Deeks more then once today, not to mention ran away from Callen too. This last run away she finally had time to realize she was the one that was making matter worse.
"Could have fooled me," Deeks said. "We can all see something is going on Kensi. Whatever it is, you can tell us."
"And if telling you means I lose you then what?" Kensi said.
"What makes you think you'll lose me?" Deeks said.
"Because I was stupid. I screwed up," Kensi said to him.
"Kensi, you really aren't making any sense," Deeks said to her.
"There really no sense behind it anyways," Kensi said to him. "I slept with Callen."
"When?" was all Deeks could really say.
"It was about a month ago. You had told me to leave you alone, that…" Kensi started to say.
"I didn't want or need your help." Deeks said finishing what she was saying.
"Yeah… and with you and Sam gone, Callen and I really only had each other," Kensi said to him. "I regretted it the moment it happen. I don't even know why it happened. I was stupid. I know I screwed everything up," Kensi said trying not to get too emotional. She didn't want him to think she was crying just to get him to forgive her. She didn't expect him to forgive her. "I'm sorry Deeks."
"This explains a lot," Deeks said.
"I really did want to tell you," Kensi said to him. "I didn't expect you to show up last night and to come back today."
"Were you hoping I wasn't coming back at all?" Deeks asked her.
"Not hoping, more like worrying," Kensi said. "I was really starting to believe it had become all to much for you and you didn't want to come back."
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about not coming back," Deeks said. "But it was you the pulled me back."
"So does this change your mind?" Kensi asked him.
"It would make things easier," Deeks said.
"I guess that's it then," Kensi said. She then started to walk away from Deeks. He caught her arm and stopped her.
"If you really expect me to walk away then maybe you don't know me at all," Deeks said to her.
"How can you not want to?" Kensi said to him.
"Because of you," Deeks said to her. "And I can't… I won't walk away from that."
"So what are you saying?" Kensi asked him.
"I don't know yet," Deeks said to her. "But I need to know is this it. This isn't something right?"
"No" Kensi said on shaky breath.
"Kensi, I need the truth," Deeks asked her.
"I swear it was the one time thing and it will never happen again," Kensi said to him.
"But…" Deeks said.
"I'm pregnant" Kensi said to him. She really just wanted to walk away because she knew that was what Deeks was going to do. She had screwed up everything and it was what she deserved.
"How long have you known?" Deeks asked her, finally speaking after a long awkward silence.
"Not long" Kensi said.
"And it's…" Deeks started to ask.
"Yes" Kensi said. "I haven't told him yet and I know I have no right to ask but please don't say anything."
"I won't say anything," Deeks said to her.
"Thank you" Kensi said softly.
"I should get back in there," Deeks said to her.
"Go, I'm sure Hetty has a case waiting for everyone," Kensi said. Deeks then headed back into the building.
Deeks walked right back into the building heading straight to the bullpen. He saw Callen and Sam standing there leaning on their desk just talking. Deeks walked up to Callen and punched him in the face.
"What the hell Deeks?" Sam said.
"You bastard" Deeks snapped. "You are a self righteous asshole."
"What is going on here?" Hetty said. They all turned to see her standing in the bullpen.
"Do you even regret it?" Deeks asked Callen as he turned his attention back. He knew this was stupid to do, but he was just pissed off. "Or are you just going around like its no big deal."
"Deeks it's not what you think," Callen said to him.
"That isn't what I asked," Deeks snapped at him. "Do you regret it?"
"Could one of you explain what is going on?" Sam asked.
"Do you?" Deeks yelled at him.
"You need to calm down," Callen said.
"Don't tell me to calm down," Deeks said to him. "For one minute have you thought about the effects of this? Has it even accrued to you how this has affected her? Or is it that it's just not your problem anymore."
"She's my friend, I have known her a lot longer than you," Callen said to him.
"Yet I seem to know her better then you ever will," Deeks said.
"You are walking on thin ice Deeks," Callen said.
"And you're in for a rude awaking," Deeks said to him.
"You better watch yourself Deeks," Callen said.
"What on earth is going on?" Hetty said.
"Ask him," Deeks said before walking about of the bullpen.
"What just happened?" Sam asked.
"Personal things that won't get in the way again," Callen said. "Excuse me." Callen walked past Sam and Hetty out of the bullpen. He looked around the building and finally went outside to find Kensi just standing there. "Was that really necessary?" Kensi turned and looked at Callen.
"Was what?" Kensi asked him.
"I understand you regret what happened, but did you really need to send Deeks after me?" Callen asked him.
"Deeks did what?" Kensi asked.
"He just walked in and punched me. He went off on me Kensi," Callen said to her.
"I'm sorry Callen," Kensi said to him. "I told him the truth, I didn't know he's go after you. I told you I screwed this up."
"No we both did," Callen said. "We are equally to blame for this, maybe more so me because I let it happen. We aren't ready for this."
"No we aren't," Kensi said.
"I think we all need to take some time," Callen said. "If we can't find a common ground again we can't be a team."
"I think you right," Kensi said. "We all need sometime."
AN: So yes some reader were right, more on that later. Maybe a bit ooc, then again it is a fan fiction, I really wanted Deeks to punch Callen. I do have something planned, so bare with me, But I'm sure you'll either like it or hate. Also The next couple of characters will jump in time. It will go from present to past to present, I'll be sure to clue you in on the time jumps.
