A/N: Sorry that it took forever for me to update but i've literally have gotten sick twice in a row and it took FOREVER to go away, then my laptop decided to be stupid. So I'm sorry if this chapter is kinda short but what I'm going to try and do is spread the story more throughout the chapters to try and make it easier to write...if that makes sense.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed and took time to read, and thank you for being so patient :)

Deeks sat on the couch near the teams desks waiting for Callen and Sam to bring Andrew. Hetty had cleared Andrew to come into the mission after they had dropped Harris off at the boatshed. It was decided they would bring in both of them at the same time. Harris for questioning and Andrew for information, protection and for Deeks to meet him.

To say Deeks was nervous, was an understatement.

"You know he's going to love you."

Jumping at the sound of Kensi's voice, Deeks looks up to see Kensi standing close to him.

"What if..he hates me for not protecting him, or if he-"

"Deeks! Seriously, he will love you. Kids always do."

"But this isn't some random kid Kens! He's my brother."

Kensi didn't get a chance to respond as an excited voice rang throughout the mission,

"WOW! This place is...AWESOME!"

Deeks froze, staring at the little boy walking in between Callen and Sam. Deeks took the moment to study his little brother. They pretty much looked alike except for the eyes, Andrew had the same shaggy fluffy blonde hair. He couldn't help but find it a little weird how his mother had two children who could be twins if not for the age difference.

"Mr. Callen, Mr. Hanna, please bring Andrew to my desk." Hetty said as she appeared next to Callen.

"Sure Hetty." He watched as Sam lightly put his hand on Andrew's back and directed him to Hetty's desk. Deeks held his breath as he noticed Andrew slightly tense up, he knew Sam hadn't noticed it. It was the same way he reacted himself when he was younger, a sure sign that Harris was abusing him.

Deeks hands formed a fist as he thought about it, he knew Kensi and Hetty were watching him but he didn't care. The bastard was done hurting Andrew, he may not have even met his brother yet but he would protect him from Harris, even if it was the last thing he ever did.

"Mr. Deeks, why don't we go join Andrew at my desk."

"Hetty-" But his sentence got cut off as Hetty raised her hand to stop him

"Don't worry."

And with that, Deeks stood up and followed Hetty, he barely even noticed Kensi quickly squeezing his hand for good luck. Once they reached the desk, Hetty nodded to Callen and Sam who both gave Andrew a smile, then nodded to Deeks giving him their good luck's.

"Andrew, it's nice to meet you." Andrew turned to look at Hetty, a smile on his face.

"You're Hetty!" Hetty let out a laugh and sat behind her desk, Deeks stayed where he was standing slightly off to the side.

"I'm guessing my two agents told you who I was," At Andrew's nod, Hetty folded her hands on her desk and continued talking, "I know this will be an odd question, but do you have any other family besides your mother and father?"

Deeks watched as Andrew slightly turned his head, "No. I used to tell mommy I wanted a brother but she always looked funny after I said it and yelled at me...why are you smiling Ms. Hetty?" Deeks could swear his heart stopped, Andrew wanted a brother...

"What if I told you, that you had an older brother?"

Andrew's eyes widened in surprise, "Then why have I never met him?"

"Things happened between him and your mother, he didn't know about you...until now."

He noticed Hetty lightly move her hand in a 'come here' motion. He took a deep breath and slowly stepped closer. Andrew turned at the noise of footsteps and if it was possible, his eyes widened even more. Andrew quickly jumped off the chair and ran towards Deeks, he barely caught him in his arms as Andrew flew towards him in a hug.

"Are you gonna protect me now?" Andrew whispered in his ear, Deeks tightened his hold on his brother and glanced at Hetty who had a look on her face, she had heard it.

"I will." Deeks promised.

Deeks felt Andrew's breathing change, and knew he had fallen asleep. His heart almost broke as he remembered his own childhood, the nights he would stay awake too scared to fall asleep. He was happy Andrew felt safe enough with him to sleep. Probably the first time in a while he would be able to sleep without fear. He knew it was probably odd that Andrew accepted it, and him so quickly but he didn't care.

A/N: I'm sorry for it being so short! And again for taking forever but, next chapter is the boatshed with Harris, where everything really starts going.

Reviews are welcome! :)
