A/N: this one Alex is with Rice who tries to get to know him more

Alex wakes up and see its dark outside and starts to scream, "DADDY! DADDY!"

Rice walks over to the bed smiling, "Hey there is no reason to be screaming so late at night."

"Daddy?" He yells scared.

"Well he will be getting here sometime in the morning and we can be together and have some fun." He shakes his head, "Sorry its to late and dad will be asleep by now." Rice hands the boy his teddy bear mad at him, "There you go. You know how you have two dad's?" He shakes his head. "Well guess your to young to know that but I am also your dad. No need to be scared."

Alex really wishes he could see his dad and soon cries himself to sleep and Rice turns to hear one of his men walk in the room, "What going to do boss?"

"Plan on making my family whole whether Marty likes it or not Alex isn't leaving here."

Deeks looks out his window as it pouring rain outside and he hears his front door open and ignores Kensi, "Deeks?"

He sighs not looking as she walks over, "Over here Kens."

She walks over and hands him a burger and beer, "Talk to me and feel better."

He rests his head on her shoulder, "First time been away from home without Ashley or me there. He hates to sleep alone in storms like this one."

She kisses his forehead, "Were going to find out where they are and get him back."

He smirks and sits down on the couch and pulls out a photo album, "I found out was carrying him about week after I escaped from Rice. The doctors didn't know with all the drugs in my system even if he was going to survive but stubborn like me. I didn't want someone to use him as leverage like Sam does his family."

She wraps her arms around his and he lets her head lay above his heart, "Looks just like his dad. Going to be a heart breaker when grows up."

He chuckles, "I am glad he looks nothing like Rice and hope that we find him soon."

She kisses his chest, "We will and he will come home and be the same energetic 2-year-old who loves his dad and his team. Has Callen and Sam wrapped around his finger. When he fell and needed stitches Callen didn't think twice before taking him to see Dr. Lee."

He sighs and yawns, "Even Callen has a soft spot. Sam's kids are attached to him too. I think may like having kids around and play with."

She laughs, "Not sure but Callen can be soft when he needs to be and tough man a second later. Sam doesn't talk about his kids much because that makes it more of a reality that he doesn't get to spend as much time with them as he wishes and misses them tearably..."

"Which is why when he's home he tries to spend as much time with them as possible."

She surprises him by pulling him into a kiss and pulling away when they both need air and pulls him to the couch and finds Top Model on TV and he lays down on the couch and she lays against his chest and he wraps arms around her, "That's why am grateful for Ashley who is willing to be here when I have to go away. I don't want Hetty to pull me from major OPs because that's would be easier in case something does happen but not fair to the team."

She looks up at him and frowns, "No one is going to let him get away with taking him. Sorry to say he's growing even on Sam and Callen. When yuor not around he follows Callen around every where and has to be sitting in one of their laps all the time when not with Nell."

He laughs, "He seems to love everyone."

She smiles and kisses his chest, "Just like his dad cares a lot."

It has been a week since went missing, Alex wakes up and see Rice asleep nearby and no one else around and see a doggy door and climbs through and sneaks around outside and see by the ocean and spots a few cops and walks over, "Hi there you lost?" Officer Matthew asked.

He nods still sleepy, "Can you help find my dad?"

He smiles and kneels down and lifts him on top of his hood, "You know his name?"

Alex yawns, "He a police offi...cer to."

The man smiles, "Okay what's his last name?"

Alex thinks a minute, "Eeks."

The man smiles recognizing his freinds name, "You mean Deeks?" He nods. "Okay he has been looking for you and how about I call him and have him come pick you up?"

He nods, "Can I sit in your car?"

The officer nods and opens the passenger door, "Just don't play with anything," he nods and soon is asleep and he drapes a blanket from the trunk over the small boy.

Rice who had woken up and seen him missing races outside and see the cop, "You seen a small boy, 2-years-old and blond hair?"

He shakes his head no, "Sorry I haven't seen anyone around."

He sighs, "Thank you anyways."

He pulls out his cellphone and dials his friend who answers on second ring, "Yeah Dylan?"

"I am down by the pier where we go fishing and found him," he says quietly.

Deeks sits up in bed, "Fine be there in 10."

Kensi wakes up to her phone going off and answers, "Yeah Deeks?"

"Pier on 4th and Canal."

She nods, "Fine I will get the guys and meet you there."

Officer Matthew looks over as hear screech of tires coming to a stop and see 3 familiar cars, "Where you find him?" Deeks asked seeing the small boy asleep.

"He came from that way," he points. "Ask if could help find his dad and gave me your name. Some guy came looking for him but said hand't seen him and took off in SUV."

Deeks lifts the toddler up and smiles, "Thanks Dylan."

Callen nods, "How about we go and check where he came from and let the officer look after him?"

Deeks sets him back in the car and takes a kevlar vest from Kensi and they head to the house, "On 1?" Sam asked.

Deeks and Kensi took the back door, "Sure," she said.

They all nod, "3...2...1..." Sam and Deeks break down the doors and they all one-by-one clear the house and meet back at the cars, "Nothing?" The officer asked.

Kensi nods, "All was clear but will send CSU to check it over."

Deeks lifts the sleeping form up and Callen sighs, "How about take him to the Mission and have Dr. Lee come and look him over?"

~~~NCIS~~~

Hetty, Eric and Nell are waiting in the bullpen when they walk inside and Deeks sees Dr. Lee and lays him down on the couch where he looks him over, "Other then malnurished and dehydrated there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him physically but mentally can't help you there."

Hetty nods and shakes his hand, "Thank yuo for coming on short notice."

He shakes everyones hands, "He's a good kid and had nothing to do so was fine and need anything else give me a call."

When she shows him out Alex starts to wake up, "Daddy?"

Deeks smiles at him, "Right here buddy."

The boy launches into his arms, "Was ared."

He holds him as start to cry and carries him to his desk and rub his back until he calms down, "Nothing is going to happen anymore."

Alex looks around to see the team there and waves, "Hi."
