I don't own NCIS Los Angeles! Please review and favorite!

Deeks sat on the couch in his apartment, while watching some American History movie on the History channel. He really wasn't watching it, it was just for noise. Monty was laying by his feet while the children were sleeping in his bed. Deeks got up to the kitchen and get himself a beer when he heard a knock at the door. He almost didn't want to answer it, fearing it was Brandon. So Deeks managed to get himself to the door and opened it, standing in front of him was Kensi. She had a smile across her face.

"Gonna let me in?" She asked.

"Um sure, why are you here?" Deeks asked as Kensi entered his apartment.

"Heard you got into it with your brother, so I thought to come by and cheer you up."

He glanced at her, "I am fine Kens. Besides the kids are asleep."

Kensi made her way into his apartment, the place was spotless. He seemed to be in his moods to just clean everything, either that or the kids were a lot messier than she thought. She sat down on the couch and turned off the TV.

"No your not Deeks, you didn't seem so happy after Brandon left and including the fact your lip was bleeding."

Kensi watched Deeks roll his eyes, he kinda did this moan and flopped onto the couch. This is when Monty lifted his head and looked around. Kensi glanced at the shaggy dog then to its master.

"Deeks, what went down with you and Brandon?"

Deeks let out a long sigh, "What brothers do. You wouldn't understand Kens."

Kensi put her hands on her hip, she stood up and paced around. "Here I was worried about you."

Deeks stood up, "I didn't ask you to be worried. I didn't ask anybody."

Kensi looked at her partner. Now actually studying the features on him, it looks as if he hadn't had a good night sleep since the day before Brandon's wife went missing. Deeks rubbed his eyes. Kensi felt bad for getting angry but she wanted to help and he kept pushing her away.

"Deeks, I am just worried. I am worried you are putting too much stress on yourself."

Deeks glanced up, he had his usually puppy dog look. Kensi looked at him and touched his arm. He looked at her hand touching his arm and then slowly looked back at her.

"Please," She said softly.

Deeks bit his lips and glanced to the bedroom door, it was cracked open. He walked over and saw the little ones asleep. Jack kicked off the blanket and was rolled partly on Alex. Alex was cuddling with a teddy bear and had half the blanket on herself. Forming a small smile, he shut the door all the way just in case he'd loose his temper.

"I am done with Brandon."

Kensi just stared at Deeks, "What do you mean?"

"He has used me as some kind of doormat for too long. I have to balance work, caring for my ill mother, watching my niece and nephew, and sometimes bailing out my brother because he somehow finds trouble."

Kensi looked at him, "Deeks its what families do."

Deeks sighed, "Did your family bail you out for DUI and smoking weed?"

Kensi shook her head, "No but the thing is families are there when no one else is. They have more faith in you and protect you. Deeks, you've always been there for Brandon. He looks up to you even if you don't know that."

Deeks rolled his eyes, "No he doesn't."

Kensi laughed, "Yes he does. Callen and Sam were saying how impressed Brandon was with your job. How cool it looked and how much he wished he didn't screw up as a teen to work at such a cool place."

Deeks glanced back, "Really?"

Kensi nodded, "Of course. Sure I bet he is happy with his job, but Deeks since the day he was born you played the part of the adult right?"

Deeks nodded slowly, he didn't look at her at this point. "Yeah."

"Well he noticed it and knew you would treat him like a brother and kinda like a kid at the same time. Help him when he needed it and be there if he needs someone to talk to. Deeks, you wanted Brandon to have a better childhood than you did."

Deeks let out a sigh, "Alright sure maybe that was my idea as a child. Help out one kid even if it was my half brother."

Kensi smiled, "And that was why you became a lawyer was to help others."

Deeks partly smiled, "And then became a cop."

Kensi walked next to him, "You need to apologize to him. Make up."

Deeks nodded, "Yeah you're probably right."

Then all of a sudden Kensi got a phone call, "Callen?" She answered.

"Kens, its Brandon! He was taken!" Callen said.
