The Retrieval Of
Kenna Shane Spencer
Live For The Moment
"Uncle Nate! Auntie Sophie!" Faith jumped from her perch on the counter and rant to her most favorite people in the world. "Yous got home!" Nate lifted the little girl up and hugged her close.
"Did you miss us or something little one?" He asked her. Nodding the girl leaned over and hugged her aunt. "Did Daddy tell you Parker brought me a brother?" She took his face in her hands and looked into his blue eyes.
"As a matter of fact he did. How's that going?"
"He sleeps lots and mom feeds him from her boobies." Eliot, who was at the counter with his coffee, nearly lost it. Nate looked at Sophie who turned and was hiding her laughter behind her hand.
"Well then." Nate looked at the little girl. "So you like him?"
"Yeah, he gets a turtle room but he's okay." She snuggled into Nate as Kenna came out of the bedroom with the said new brother.
"Morning." She smiled.
"Let me see him." Sophie went to her and took the boy from her arms.
"His face gets kinda scrunched up when he's mad or wants something. Kinda like Daddy's." Kenna chuckled and went to get a cup of coffee.
"Morning. " Kenna leaned over and kissed her husband. "Where are the rest of the troops?"
"Parker said that she and Hardison were going to run some errands." He looked at Nate and Sophie with their children. "They're really are good with them." Kenna sipped her coffee.
"They ever say anything more about trying?" She asked.
"Not after the miscarriage last year." He turned and looked at his wife. "How did you sleep?"
"Better than I have in awhile. How about you?" She smiled. After they got home from the airport neither one of them were the least bit tired so they found ways of getting rid of their pent up energy.
"Like a log." He leaned over and kissed her again. "Round two tonight."
"You are getting worse then me Eliot Spencer."
"Blame it on the new bed." He smiled.
"We interrupting you two?" Nate looked at his friends.
"Kinda." Kenna smiled.
"Theys been kissin' lots, Uncle Nate. " Faith informed him.
"Yeah well your mom and dad have always been that way kid, you just gotta deal with it." The little girl scrunched up her face.
"Did you bring me presents?" Faith looked at her uncle. Eliot glared at her. "Pweeeese." Smiling at Nate then at her father, the little girl tried to redeem her poor manners.
"I don't know, Auntie Sophie, did we bring Faith Valentine and Chance Nathan presents?" The little girl looked at her aunt.
"Pweeese Auntie Sophie." The girl batted her long black eyelashes. Sophie smiled.
"There's a bag by the door sweetie." Nate set her down and she ran to the door.
"You two have to stop spoiling her." Eliot took a deep breath and went to start breakfast. He knew it was pointless saying it. Nate and Sophie were always going to spoil his kids. And if Hardison and Parker had any, they would spread the spoiling to them too. Kenna boosted herself on the counter and watched her daughter open the presents Nate and Sophie brought her.
"You know they won't stop, right." Kenna looked at Eliot.
"Yeah, but I have to say the words now and then." He grabbed omelet makings from the fridge. "You gonna sit there all morning or are you gonna help me." Leaning over he kissed her as she slid down off the counter and helped make breakfast.

"How are you really doing Kenna?" Nate sat across from her at the table. Eliot and Sophie had gone into Faith's room so she could display the new dolls her aunt had brought her from Paris.
"Did you know about Sinclair?" She knew Nate would be on her side.
"You tell me what you know."
"Everyone thinks he's changed."
"Why don't you?" Nate looked into his coffee cup.
"Because evil like that doesn't change Nate."
"Are you saying he's worse than Moreau and McClosky?"
"He's pretty damn close."
"Moreau saved you."
"He saved himself from McClosky." Kenna stood and got the coffee pot. "I don't trust him Nate."
"Hardison, Eliot and McGarret have made sure he's out of the bad guy game Kenna. If he stray's you know Eliot will be the first one to tell him to take a hike."
"You know how I am when I get this way Nate." She poured them both another cup of coffee.
"You think he was sent here by Moreau or McClosky."
"I think it's odd a hitter infiltrated my family while I was gone Nate. I just want…I need to be sure my family is safe." He looked at her.
"We won't let anything happen to them or you, Kenna."
"I got taken from a party with three hundred people Nate. I've lost faith in fate." She put the coffee pot back and sat back down. "I haven't lost faith in my family."
"Good to know. Because it would cripple your husband if he thought you lost faith in him."
"That's not an option, ever." She smiled.
"But even if he thinks you don't think he can protect you."
"Nate, I just want to do what's good for this team and this family. Hunter Sinclair is not what he seems."
"Are you willing to lose Amy because of a feeling?" He sat back and looked at her. Brown eyes met blue.
"Okay, you win. But when this blows up I want you all to apologize for doubting me." She looked at Eliot holding Faith up to put her doll on the shelf and Sophie holding Chance. "I just don't want anyone getting hurt."
"I won't let that happen either, kiddo." He looked at her. "We missed the hell out of you."
"I missed you guys too. I don't pray much, but I did a lot of it the last seven months."
"We have cases waiting. Monday morning it's back to the grind. Are you up for it?"
"Hell yeah. Thank you for taking care of him Nate."
"I thought after Faith's birthday he might have gone dark side on me but the next day he got the call that made him start looking again."
"Well thank goodness Moreau found a conscious." Kenna looked at Nate. "It's good to be home."
"Then just enjoy it. Enjoy them Kenna. They grow so fast."
"Are you and Sophie going to try again?"
"I don't think so. She's afraid. I get that. We worked a case a few years back and found that there are a lot of kids who need homes in Serbia and other war torn countries. We're looking into it."
"Good for you." Kenna smiled. "You need some of your own kids to spoil."
"I kinda like spoiling yours." He laughed. Faith bounded up and jumped on his lap.
"Hiya, Uncle Nate."
"Hey." She took his face in her hands. "Thank you for the babies." She kissed him.
"You're welcome." The little girl snuggled onto his lap with her little hippo and ran her hand down his silk tie. Her eyes got heavy.
"Only she can go from sixty to zero in three seconds." Kenna took the coffee cups went to the sink.
"If we could only be that comfortable." Nate stood and took the sleeping girl to her room. Sophie had taken Chance to his.
"It looks like it's nap time at the Spencer's." Sophie got her purse. "We should go and let Kenna and Eliot decompress before Parker and Hardison converge on them."
"Breakfast was awesome as usual Eliot." Nate hugged Kenna. "We'll see you later." Nate and Sophie left and Kenna threw herself on the couch.
"I really do need a nap." Eliot sat next to her and she laid her head on his lap. "I'm not gonna get one with you as my pillow, am I?" She looked at him.
"I won't stop you." He ran his hand through her hair. "How did things go with Nate?"
"I just complained about Sinclair."
"How did that go for you?"
"Yeah, well I'm not one for saying I told you so but I will when he jumps ship or slits our throats." He chuckled.
"Amy's too important to us. You will behave."
"Yes master."
"Oh, I like the sound of that." Kenna pulled herself up on his lap.
"Last time you'll ever hear it." Taking his face in her hands she kissed him. He moved his hand up her leg and under her shirt. He leaned into and pulled at her nipple as he deepened the kiss.
"ANYONE HOME!" Parker's voice echoed though the apartment.
"Damn it, Parker!" Eliot said as he broke the kiss. "The kids are sleeping." He growled.
"Oh, sorry. " She looked at him and Kenna on the couch, his hand still firmly on her breast. "Oh, God, I should have knocked. "
"That would be nice." Eliot looked at her.
"I…just call…when you know…your done…doing…"
"What do you need Parker?" Kenna pulled Eliot's hand out from under her shirt.
"That package you've been waiting for Eliot, it's down in the bar."
"It wasn't supposed to come till next week."
"We'll they said it was ready early." Parker looked at him wide eyed. He looked at his wife.
"Do you need me to get up?" She smiled.
"I could use a cold shower." He boosted her up and stood. "You stay up here."
"I guess someone should stay with the kids." She teased.
"Yeah, I guess." He swatted her rear and headed to the door. "That mouth is gonna do you in woman." He smiled. "Be back in a few minutes." Kenna watched him leave with Parker.
"Maybe now I can get that nap." Kenna laid on the couch and pulled the blanket from the back of the couch over her and it didn't take long before she was fast asleep.

"She's not gonna like this one bit Eliot, you know that."
"Hardison, she'll be fine with it." The hacker shook his head.
"I don't think anyone would be fine with something that size in their presence. You did not talk to your landlord about this addition."
"I got her to protect my wife and kids Hardison, so suck it up." Eliot looked down at the black and tan dog sitting at his feet. She was a beautiful dog. Just a year old but he knew the trainer and knew she was the best.
"You better clean up after her." Eliot looked at the younger man.
"You better hope she likes you." The elevator opened and Eliot led the dog to the door. "Sit." He said in German. The dog complied. "We had dogs growing up but they were all just mutts. Kenna wanted a German Sheppard since she was little. She wanted to be a trainer for awhile."
"So she knows we belong here right?"
"Yeah, I sent those bandana's with our scents to the trainer. She didn't label them but Talia knows who belongs in my house. The eight of us, Amy and Shelia."
"You didn't send one for Sinclair?"
"He doesn't belong in my house if Amy or one of use isn't there. I'll make sure we all know her commands."
"You're really starting to scare me. How does one lit…big dog know all those smells and keep them straight.
"'Cause she's smarter than most humans." Eliot squatted down and rubbed the dog's head. "Right girl?" He rubbed her ears and talked softy. "She knows who's on her side and who isn't."
"What about the kid's man. She could eat the baby." Hardison looked at the big dog.
"She'll protect him with her life. All of us." He stood. "Just think of her as a pet with benefits." He unlocked the door and headed in. It was quiet. Kenna was asleep on the couch. He used a hand command to have the dog sit in front of the couch. "Kenna?" Her eyes fluttered open at the sound of his voice.
"I just closed my eyes for a minute." She smiled.
"I want you to meet somebody." He told her.
"New girlfriend?"
"Kinda." He chuckled. "Talia, meet Kenna." The dog walked up to the couch and put her paw on the couch beside her new mistress.
"Eliot? Really?"
"Yeah, I remembered you always wanted one and I have a friend who trains them upstate." Kenna touched the dog's head.
"She's beautiful Eliot." The dog looked at Kenna and was almost smiling. Parker had come into the apartment and the dog sniffed the air and looked at the thief.
"She's huge." The dog looked at her. "Is she going to attack me?"
"No Parker, she knows you're okay." Eliot said. "Familie." He said to the dog in German. The dog went to her and sniffed hand she was holding out.
"Does she understand English?"
"Yes, I made sure. With the kids it's hard to have all her commands in German, though Faith is getting pretty good at both Spanish and German." He looked at his wife. "So, she's okay?"
"She's perfect Eliot. " She leaned over and kissed him. The dog trotted over sat next to Kenna. He stood up and patted the dogs head "Ihr mit allen schützen Sie haben Mädchen."Eliot told the dog to protect her with all she had. The dog looked at her master with an understanding. Hardison looked at his friends and their new pet.
"Just make sure she's housebroken." He turned to Parker. "I'm going for a latte, you coming?"
"Yeah, bye Talia." The thief turned and headed for the door. "Oh bye Eliot, Kenna, see you later."
"Bye Parker." They both said at once. Kenna looked at her husband.
"You feel it to don't you." He looked into her eyes.
"It's not Sinclair." Kenna nodded.
"Something bigger?"
"I woke up with a feeling that I just can't kick, Kenna and I will do anything to stop it." He relied on his gut and it never lied. "I want to leave for the farm tomorrow."
"I thought you would never ask." She leaned into him and kissed him. Deeping the kiss Eliot pushed his wife back on the couch and ran his hand back up her shirt. "Maybe we should take this upstairs. The dog is watching." Eliot looked over his shoulder.
"I guess we don't have afternoon fun on the couch anymore."
"We do have two kids Eliot. Afternoon fun is gonna be rare." He got up and grabbed her hand.
"Then let's take advantage of it." Eliot looked at the dog. "Watch the babies' girl." He pulled Kenna up and pulled into the workout room and pushed her against the wall, closing the door behind him. Kissing her deeply as he pulled at her clothing.
"I must say Spencer, I don't what's gotten into you but I like it." She said as he undid her jeans and kissed her again. Kenna tore at his shirt and pulled at his belt.
"Kenna…" He moved more quickly and slid his hands between her jeans and her bottom, pulling them down. "You had me so hard before Parker interrupted us I was afraid I wasn't gonna make it downstairs." He pulled off her shirt as she slid his pants down his legs. Her legs wrapped around his waist taking him deep inside her.
"Oh Eliot…" Her hands were in his hair and his were on her ass. Their tongues danced as he moved inside her. "Oh Eliot, Oh God." Her nails dug into his shoulders. He leaned in and kissed her again.
"I have a feeling you're not faking it this time darlin'." He growled in her ear. Her breath caught as he pushed her harder against the wall. Smiling, Kenna moved faster using the leverage from the wall to push Eliot deeper inside her. One arm supporting her he moved the other to the back of her neck and pulled into a deep wet kiss and then let his mouth trail down until his stopped just above her hard, taunt nipple. "Open your eyes Kenna." She did what he told her and looked at him. "I promise you that I'll never let you down, ever again." Kenna was breaths were coming in small gasps.
"You never let me down Eliot. Don't ever think it was your fault." She ran her hands through his hair. "It was never your fault." She looked into his stormy blue eyes. "I need you now Eliot." She moaned. He moved then, taking her nipple in his mouth. He felt her tighten around him as she fought to keep her eyes on his. Her orgasm shook her to the core and took him over the edge a few seconds later. Her nails bit into his back and her legs tightened around his waist. The sounds of their heavy breathing filled the room.
"Bora Bora." He said hoarsely in her ear.
"What about it?" Kenna looked at him.
"Our anniversary. You and me at the Le Meridien for the weekend." She shifted and slid her arms around him.
"That sounds like a plan." The sound of Chance waking up from his nap broke them apart. "Let's hope we can figure out what this feeling is before then." He brushed the hair out of her face.
"We will." They got dressed and Eliot pulled her in his arms. "Kenna, I love you." He kissed her.
"I love you too." They hadn't said that enough lately. Kenna felt safe in his arms and he needed to know that too. "I wasn't lyin' when I said you never let me down." She took his face in her hands. "You've never, ever let me down."
"Twenty years ago…" She put her finger on his lips.
"You never let me down, then or now. You had to leave then and you came after me now. Don't over think it." Kenna pulled her shirt on and handed him his as she pulled her jeans back on. "I know you don't like the word hero Eliot but it's the only thing that describes what you are to me." Touching his cheek she looked into his eyes. "You and our kids are everything to me Eliot and you're the one who brought me home when I had lost all hope."
"'Nough said." He kissed her. "We start over today. We have a past that we can't change. But our future…" The sound of their son's cry's stopped him from going on. Eliot opened the door to find Talia standing in front of Chance's door.
"I don't think she likes to hear him cry."
"She's worried about him." Eliot opened the door and the dog went in, sniffing the room for trouble. She sat by the crib whining.
"He's okay, girl, he's just hungry. "Eliot scratched the dog's ears and she laid down and put her head on her paws.
"She's going to be good for them, Eliot." Kenna took Chance out of the crib.
"I hope so. She's from good blood lines." She looked at the dog.
"I wouldn't expect anything less." Taking the baby into the living room Kenna sat down and began feeding Chance. Eliot sat next to her and pulled her close and watched his son nurse. A sleepy Faith came from her room and crawled up on her dad's lap.
"Did you know there's a doggy sleepin' bys your feet Daddy?" She whispered in Eliot's ear.
"Her name's Talia. She's a guard dog but she's gonna be part of the family."
"Can she sleep with me?" Her eyes got wide as she looked at the big dog.
"She can sleep in your room but not on your bed." She slid off his lap on went to pet the new furry addition. The dog let the little girl pet her gently and even hug her.
"She likes me, Daddy." Eliot smiled.
"What's not to like, baby girl." She looked up at him and smiled. Eliot knew right then and there it was all worth it. The days without Kenna, the war torn countries he defended, the mistakes he had made and the fights he fought and lost, it all lead him to this place in his life. Kenna looked at her husband. In all the years she had known him, she hadn't ever seen the look of contentment on his face till now.
"You made her really, really happy, Eliot."
"How about her mom? Eliot looked at her.
"There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for bringing you back into my life." She leaned over and kissed him. He knew every road he went down lead to her and this moment.
"I love you, Kenna Shane Spencer." He whispered in her ear.
"Not as much as I love you, Eliot James Spencer." This was his life and Eliot couldn't want for more. Not now and not ever. Kenna was home safe and sound and he had his life back. But there was always that nagging feeling in the back of his mind that he wasn't meant to have this life. He wasn't meant to be happy. But until it was taken away from him he would enjoy every waking minute of his life.
