"Deeks," Kensi said turning to me, "What's going on?"

I froze for a second when I saw that not only was the entire team in the boatshed, but so was Eric and Nell. Alright, I was going to have to do this in front of everyone at once.

Before I could open my mouth to say something Alice skipped forward and stopped in front of Sam. She continued to lick at the ice cream cone we had stopped for as she stared.

"Hi," Alice said happily, "Can I have a piggyback ride?"

"Alice," Theo said kneeling down, "Come here."

The little girl quickly ran into Theo's arms and let him lift her up. I watched Theo calmly whisper something into Alice's ear causing her to nod her head quickly and cuddle into his chest.

No matter how many times I thought about the future with Theo I had never seen a child. Now though…Now there was no way I could see him without a child. He was obviously a good father.

"Guys," I said clearing my throat, "This is Theo Watson and his daughter Alice. Long story short Theo and I used to date before…Something happened. It wasn't until earlier today that I found him again and…Well, there you go."

"Daddy's dating Marty!" Alice said with a wide grin.

On the trip to get ice cream Theo had explained everything to Alice. Luckily, Alice was a smart girl. She took everything in stride. Until she asked if we'd need a new house.

Of course, that was when a whole other conversation started. As much as I wanted to say nothing had changed I knew that it was going to take awhile before Theo and I reached the point of living together.

"You're gay?" Kensi asked surprised.

"No," I said softly, "Not exactly. Just Theo."

Sam and Callen exchanged looks while Nell and Eric did the same. Kensi, on the other hand, just kept staring at me. Alright, I lied. This was the scariest thing I ever had to face.

"G. Callen," Callen said stepping forward, "Sam Hanna. Nell Jones. Eric Beale. Kensi Blye. It's nice to meet you, Theo."

"You too," Theo said smiling softly, "It's good to see the people that have Marty's back. Espeically since there might be times where I have to work with you. I'm sure, Hetty explained."

"Explained what?" I asked confused.

"Before you came to see me. Hetty asked me to work with your team on cases where you needed a psychologist. I had just said yes when you pulled up."

I smiled slightly when I heard that. This was what Hetty had been planning. Of course it was. Hetty knew that without him working with us Theo couldn't know about what I did.

"Daddy," Alice said tugging on his shirt before pointing to Nell, "I want to say hi to the pretty lady."

Theo smiled softly and moved so he was standing next to Nell. Alice and Nell were instantly talking happily. Well, Alice was talking while Nell simply smiled at the younger girl.

"I'm sorry, Kensi," I said turning to my partner, "I never thought…"

"Why'd he leave?" Kensi asked softly.

"He didn't. His Father tried to have him fixed. He's gay. Completely gay. I've only ever loved him."

"You keep saying love. You really do love him?"

"With all my heart. Kensi, I'm sorry. If I led you on or something. I wanted to love you. To be in love with you. I can't though. I haven't seen him since he was sixteen, I was seventeen, and I still love him with all of my heart."

"Deeks, I'm not upset that you flirted with me or led me on or anything. I'm upset that you didn't tell me you were gay or whatever."

"I'm in love with a guy. I'm in love with Theo. I always have been. I always will be. Just tell me you're not mad at me."

"I'm not, you idiot. Now, come on, I want to meet the man that stole my partners heart all those years ago."
