Sorry this took so long. Too many stories and not enough time to write.
Callen was sitting at his desk working on paperwork. Sam was trying to eat his lunch but Deeks had Monty at work today and the dog was begging for some of Sam's food.
"Deeks do something with your dog."
"Sam I can't help it Monty loves you." Said Deeks.
"No Monty loves my lunch."
Monty looked up at Sam and made a noise. Sam sighed and tossed him something to eat. "This is why I don't have pets."
Callen shook his head and went back to his paperwork. He glanced over to where Kaitlin's desk sat empty. She was out in the field with Kensi today.
"Don't worry Callen I'm sure the girls are just fine." Said Deeks.
Neither man was happy to be sitting at the office while their girlfriends/partners were out in the field without them. But Hetty had put her foot down. The guys had been goofing off all week and their paperwork had been forgotten about. So Hetty had sent the girls out and told the guys they had to finish their work.
Callen wasn't worried about Kait being out with Kensi he was worried because she hadn't been feeling well for almost two weeks now. Ever since she had been kidnapped and attacked. She wasn't eating much and was sleeping less than he did.
"Kait still isn't feeling well."
"How long has it been?" asked Sam.
"Two weeks."
"She take a test yet?"
"Huh?" Callen looked confused.
"Could you have a lowercase G on the way?"
"What no. Kait has an IUD. She got it just after we started dating."
"Still they can fail just like any other birth control."
"No way Sam. She'd tell me. Anyways we're waiting to try till after the wedding. Kait insists she needs to fit into her dress or she'll kill me."
Sam chuckled and looked at Deeks. "Five bucks says our boy here is gonna be a daddy?"
"I'm in on that."
"I hate you both."
ACROSS TOWN.
Kensi and Kaitlin had finished interviewing their suspects and were headed back to the Mission.
"Kensi pull over."
"You ok?"
"No."
Kensi pulled over and Kaitlin jumped out and puked.
"Ok I feel better now."
"So have you told Callen yet?"
Kait gave her a dirty look. "I'm not pregnant."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I've taken two tests."
"I still think you need to see a doctor."
"I know."
Kensi pulled out into traffic and hadn't gotten two blocks before Kait needed to puke again.
"Ok that's it I'm taking you to the ER right now."
Kait got back into the car and clutched at her stomach. "Ok."
Kensi drove to the ER and got Kait inside. As soon as they took her back she called Hetty.
OPS.
"Mr. Hanna I need you to drive your partner to the ER please."
"What's up Hetty?"
All three men were watching her.
"Miss Blye needed to rush Kaitlin there. She was in serious pain and very ill."
"Hetty is she ok what is going on?" said Callen moving towards his boss.
"I do not know. I'll have Owen meet you there."
Callen could not sit still on the ride over. He jumped out as soon as they hit the ER entrance. Kensi met him inside.
"She's with the doctor. They refused to tell me anything."
Callen went up to the desk.
"My fiancé was brought in. "Special Agent Kaitlin Granger."
"Yes she is being prepped for surgery right now."
"What is wrong?" Callen was about to lose it.
"I'm not sure I'll have someone come out and talk to you."
Callen paced for about twenty minutes before a doctor came to talk to him.
"Agent Callen."
"Yes. How is Kait?"
"She is going in for surgery in about ten minutes."
"What is wrong with her?"
"Her appendix decided it needs to come out."
"She's going to be ok?" Callen felt like he was going to pass out.
"She'll be fine."
"Can I see her please?"
"Of course come with me."
Sam and Kensi waited till Callen left then called Hetty.
Callen walked over to the bed where Kaitlin lay.
"Hey baby how are you feeling?"
"They give good drugs here." Kaitlin said and giggled a little bit.
"You scared the hell out of me."
"Sorry. Scared Kensi too."
"Yes you did." Callen leaned down and kissed her. "You have everyone scared."
"Sorry."
"I thought you were pregnant."
"So did I."
Kait closed her eyes. "Sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry about."
The doctor came and told Callen it was time. He leaned down and kissed her again. "I'll be right here when you're done."
"Love you."
"Love you two baby."
Callen headed back out to wait and found Granger there now.
"She's ok. Drugged up but ok."
Granger ran a hand over his face. "Hetty nearly gave me a stroke telling me."
"Same here."
"Sam and Kensi went back to work. No reason for them to sit here all day."
"I thought she was sick because she was pregnant." Said Callen.
"I didn't think you two were trying yet?"
"We're not. Kait wants to fit into her dress so we're going to try as soon as we get married."
"Not waiting huh?" Granger laughed.
"I wasted enough time as it is. Don't want to waste any more."
"I'm happy she found you." Granger said. "I missed out on most of her life so I understand where you're coming from."
"She showed me where she grew up and where she lived when she was homeless."
"I had no idea." Granger shook his head. "I had some time off and went to visit her. Ended up spending a year trying to find her. She was almost eighteen then."
"Kait said that the stuff we went thru as kids is what made us who we are today. She doesn't hold any of it against you."
"If I knew what my sister was going to do I never would have sent here there. I just wanted to keep her safe." Granger looked at Callen. "Guess it's your turn to keep her safe now."
Callen looked at his boss.
"I think it's going to take both of us. Kait seems to find trouble just about everywhere."
Granger had to laugh. "Yes she does."
They sat and talked for close to two hours before they were told that Kait was out of surgery and doing fine. Sam showed up just before that with coffee and sandwiches for them. Hetty would be by later and Callen was to take the next day off.
Finally they were let into her room. Callen kissed her on the temple and sat down. Granger took a seat against the wall. Cait was still asleep but the nurse said she had done well and would be just fine.
"I need to talk to Hetty. I don't want to wait six more months to get married." Said Callen. "Hell I'll do it tomorrow if we could."
"Perhaps tomorrow is not such a good idea." said Hetty walking in. "Give her time to get better then we will figure something out."
"Thanks Hetty."
Everyone looked at the bed when Kaitlin made a small moan. She opened her eyes and looked at Callen.
"I don't feel too good."
"You'll feel better soon." Said Callen.
Kaitlin looked at Callen and gave him a week smile. She then lifted her left wrist. "The nurse got pissed when she couldn't take this off. It was really funny."
Granger shook his head and laughed. Yep his little girl was stoned.
"You want me to take it off?"
"Hell no." Kaitlin said then moaned again. "Kensi has my ring. I didn't want anything to happen to it."
"I'll get it from her later."
Kaitlin looked at her dad. "Hi daddy."
Owen looked at Hetty and they both smiled.
"Get some rest. I'll come visit tomorrow." Said Own leaning down to kiss his daughters head.
Owen put a hand on Callen's shoulder then walked out. Hetty took the vacant seat.
"Now about the wedding." Said Hetty. "The doctor said it will take at least a month for you to be back on your feet."
"How about you just get us a minister in here." Said Callen.
"Callen I'm wearing that dress or there is no wedding. You can wait a month." Said Kaitlin strongly.
"I thought I lost you today."
"That doesn't mean we have to rush this." Kait took his hand in hers. "I already told you I'm yours. A piece of paper isn't going to change anything."
Hetty smiled at them then stood up to go. "I'll have Mr. Hanna bring you something to eat."
"Thanks Hetty." Said Callen.
Kaitlin fell asleep again and Callen leaned back in his chair to watch her sleep. A nurse came in to check on her. She noticed the bracelet.
"Wow that must have cost you a pretty penny."
"Huh, yeah it did. So did her engagement ring."
The nurse looked at her hand.
"Her friend that brought her in has it. She didn't want anything to happen to it."
"I understand."
She left shortly after and it was quiet for a while. Callen dozed off and woke up to the smell of coffee.
"You look like you could use this."
"Thanks Sam."
"Oh and here." Sam passed Callen a ring. "Kensi said Kait was probably freaking out about her ring by now."
Callen put the coffee down and leaned over Kait to slip the ring back on her finger.
Sam handed him a sandwich and Callen ate it like he was starving. "You want me to sit with her while you take a walk?"
"Yeah thanks Sam. I'll be back soon."
An hour later Callen was back with flowers and a stuffed bear. Kait was awake and talking to Sam.
"Looks like someone found the gift shop."
"Yep."
Kait took the bear and smiled at it. "Oh he's so cute."
"She just got more pain meds." Said Sam. "We should be taping this, stoned Kait is funny."
Kait was once again asleep. "At least she's sleeping." Said Callen. "And if you tape her she will kill you when she finds out, and you know she will find out."
"Yeah your girl is way too much like Hetty."
"That she is. Our kids will never get away with anything."
Sam and Callen smiled at each other.
"So kids huh?"
"We're going to try right after the wedding."
"Not wasting any time huh?"
"No."
Sam saw the seriousness in his partner's eyes.
"You think we should wait?"
"G, my boy was a surprise. I would have loved to wait but it didn't happen that way. Just make sure it's what you both want. You can't take it back once it's done."
"Sam I'm forty, Kait is thirty six, neither of us are getting any younger."
"And if it doesn't happen?"
"We can adopt. Yes I would love one of my own but there are so many kids out there that need a home and parents who will love them."
"You sure she wants kids?"
"Yes Sam I want kids." Murmured Kailin as she woke up.
Callen smirked at Sam.
"Ok fine you two go populate the world with mini super spies."
"He complains now wait till we ask him to be godfather." Said Kaitin as she reached for some water. Callen got to it first and helped her take a sip.
"Well you know I'd never say no to that." Said Sam. "I'm gonna head home. Call me if they let her go early and I'll come pick you up. Otherwise Deeks and Kensi will drop your car off tomorrow morning some time."
"Thanks Sam."
"Any time G. Just take care of your girl."
Callen brushed some hair out of Kait's face. She looked a bit upset. "You ok?"
"I took two tests this past week. I really wanted to be pregnant."
"You still have the IUD."
"Yes but things happen. I had an appointment tomorrow to have it taken out and to get a blood test done."
Callen didn't know what to say. As it was they still had six months to go till their planned wedding. Six more months to wait to start a family.
"You sure you want to get it out now?"
"I'll have to wait now till I'm feeling better but you want the wedding moved up. I told you I'd get it out just before the wedding."
"You don't have to."
"Callen I was so excited when I thought I was pregnant. And I know it may not happen right away but I do want to try now."
"Ok."
"I wouldn't mind adopting too just so you know."
"Alright." Callen leaned over and kissed her. "Sam brought your ring."
Kait raised her hand and smiled. "Good I missed it." She looked at Callen. "You don't have to stay here all night you know."
"You're not getting rid of me so don't even try."
Kait smiled and reached out for Callen's hand.
"I don't mind getting married sooner. I'm sure Hetty will just take care of everything anyways."
"Well her and Nell. Those two are really in joying planning everything. Did you know Nell has a binder."
"Oh yeah I saw it the other day. She scares me."
Callen laughed. Kaitlin yawned and closed her eyes. Callen dozed off soon after dreaming about a little girl with blue eyes and blond hair.
The next morning a doctor came in to check on Kaitlin. "How are you feeling?"
"Better than yesterday."
Callen sat there and watched as the doctor checked the incision site. They had went in laparoscopic so there were only three small cuts.
"Things look good I see no reason why you can't go home today. You'll have to rest for at least two weeks. Then you can start moving around more."
"How long till I can get back to work?"
"A month at least."
Kaitlin groaned. Callen knew this was going to be hard for her.
As soon as the doctor left Callen called Hetty. Deeks and Kensi would drop the car off in an hour and Hetty insisted Callen stay home from work for the next two days. This would give him four days to make sure Kaitlin was resting.
In that hour they got her meds and paperwork taken care off. Kait called her doctor's office and rescheduled for two weeks. By the time Deeks and Kensi got there Kaitlin was ready to go.
"There she is." Deeks said handing over a box of candy.
"Thanks Deeks."
"Any time."
"We went shopping and got you two food so you don't have to go out this weekend." Added Kensi. "It's in the trunk."
"Thanks guys."
"You good?" asked Kensi.
"Yeah I'm good."
They walked with Callen and Kaitlin who got pushed out to the car.
"If you guys need anything just call."
"We will."
Once they were home Kaitlin sat on the couch carefully. Kensi had brought her some yoga pants and a tee to change into. She turned on the tv and carefully lay back on the couch.
"You hungry?"
"What do you got?"
"Kensi got soup from the deli you like."
"That sounds nice."
Callen heated the soup being careful not to burn it. And made some toast to go with it. She was supposed to eat light for a few days and mostly bland food. Kaitlin hated oatmeal and refused to touch it so that was off the list. He just hoped the soup didn't make her too sick.
After giving her the soup in a mug he grabbed a trash can and lined it with a new bag then put it next to the couch.
"Just in case the soup doesn't sit well."
"Thanks."
Callen made a sandwich and joined her on the couch. Once they were done he brought in a blue cloth bag.
"Kensi also got you some books."
Kaitlin dug thru and pulled out some new best sellers then laughed. "She got me a baby name book."
Callen looked over at it. Leave it to Kensi.
Callen found a game to watch and Kaitlin started to search thru names. "Oh this gives the meanings as well as what country it's from. We could pick traditional Romanian names if you want or Russian."
"Or we can give our kids normal names that will not get them made fun of."
"Fine I'll up the book away for now."
"Ok are there any names you really like?"
"I like Gemma for a girl."
'That's nice."
"We have a long time to figure it out."
They watched the game for an hour then Kaitlin headed for bed and a pain pill. Callen finished the game then headed in to check on Kait. She was sound asleep clutching the teddy bear. He tucked her in then went back to the living room. He picked up the name book and started looking thru it.
