Callen quietly put his bag on the floor and grabbed his gun. He quietly followed the trail of blood. The trail was going into the bathroom. The bathroom door was open. He carefully peeked around the corner and he put his gun back in his holster.
"Hey Jen, you okay?" Callen said as he walked into the bathroom.
"Hey G," Jenny said who was sitting on the side of the bathtub.
"What happened? You okay?"
"I just cut myself on some glass."
"Let me see," Callen said and he sat down in front of her and looked at her foot. "How did you cut yourself?"
"I dropped my glass and as I was trying to clean it up I stepped in some glass with me foot."
"You had me worried. I came inside and saw all this blood on the floor. For a moment there I thought something bad happened to you."
"I'm sorry. It's just my foot. Aah."
"Sorry, I think there's a piece of glass still in the cut. Let me try to get it out."
"Be gentle."
"Of course," Callen said and he pulled the little piece of glass out. "It's not a deep cut. I don't think it needs to be stitched up. I'll put some bandage around it."
Callen cleaned the cut and put a bandage around it.
"All better," Callen said.
"Thanks hon."
"No problem. Can you stand on it?"
"I think so," Jenny said and Callen helped her up. "It hurts a bit but I'm okay."
"Alright, I'll go clean up the rest of the glass and the blood on the floor."
"It's okay G, you don't need to do that. I can do that myself."
"And cut yourself again? Don't think so."
"Okay, I'll get started on dinner then."
Callen cleaned up the mess and Jenny got started on dinner. After Callen was done he joined Jenny in the kitchen.
"All cleaned up. Anything I can help you with?" Callen said.
"No, that's not necessary. Everything is already in, it just needs to cook and bake," Jenny said.
"Okay. I missed you today," Callen said and he put his arms around Jenny from behind and put his hands on her stomach.
"I missed you too," Jenny said as she tilted her head back and put it on his shoulder. "Aah. This baby has got a strong kick."
"Yeah. I could feel it."
They enjoyed a nice dinner and afterwards they watched some TV.
"Want me to take a look at your foot again?" Callen said as they were getting into bed. "Just to make sure it didn't get infected."
"Sure," Jenny said and Callen looked at her foot and changed the bandage. It was already starting to heal a bit.
"It looks fine."
"Thank you baby. You take such good care of me."
"You're welcome. And it's my pleasure. It's the least I can do since you are carrying my little baby," Callen said and he kissed Jenny's stomach and lay down next to her and took Jenny in his arms.
…...
The agents were sitting downstairs in the bullpen when Eric whistled.
"New case guys," Eric said and the agents walked upstairs.
"What have you got?" Callen said.
"This happened this morning on the Santa Monica freeway," Eric said and he played the video. A car exploded.
"Who was in the car?"
"Corporal Lance Harrison. He's with naval intelligence," Jenny said. "LAPD inspected the car and they found that the car was rigged to explode so they contacted us."
"Any next of kin?" Callen asked.
"Yeah his parents, they live in Beverly Hills. Address is on your phone."
"We'll talk to them," Callen said and he and Sam started walking out.
"Actually Mr. Callen, you and Mr. Hanna will be heading to the boatshed. I asked Corporal Harrison's boss to meet you there to brief you on the operation he was working on," Hetty said who had appeared in the doorway.
"He thinks those two are connected?"
"It's possible."
"Alright. Kensi, you and Deeks talk to the parents," Callen said and he and Sam left for the boatshed.
"Alright, come on Deeks," Kensi said.
"Why do we always have to talk to the grieving family?" Deeks said as they were walking out.
Jenny and Nell went to work on the police report and the crime scene photos. Eric looked for anything he could find on Harrison.
15 minutes later Callen and Sam arrived at the boatshed. Harrison's boss was already there.
"You must be Agents Callen and Hanna. I'm Captain Feeney. Thanks for coming to meet me," Feeney said.
"Hi. I'm sorry for what happened to Harrison," Callen said.
"Yeah me too. He was one of my best intelligence analysts."
"Hetty said you suspect his murder and your mission might be connected," Sam said.
"Yes possibly. We were gathering Intel for a new mission in Colombia. It started out like any other mission but over the last couple of days we've been receiving threats. At first it was nothing serious but yesterday the threats got more violent and they even said that they would kill us if we didn't stop this mission. Our office would look into it. But I guess it's too late now."
"Were those threats specifically addressed to Corporal Harrison?" Callen asked.
"No, not specifically."
"What was the mission about?"
"We were looking at a drug cartel that might be using navy transports to get their drugs shipped to the US."
"So you're thinking that someone within the navy is helping them?" Sam asked.
"Yes we believe so. That's why we kept this mission under the radar. Only 5 of us know about this mission."
"Is there any reason to believe that one of them had something to do with this?" Callen asked.
"No, they would never kill him. Everybody loved Lance."
"Do you have those threat letters you received?"
"Yeah, right here," Feeney said as he handed Callen the USB drive.
Callen plugged it into the computer and video conferenced Jenny.
"Hey G, what's up?" Jenny said as her face popped up on screen.
"Hey Jenny, I have a USB here with some threat letters on it. Could you take a look at them?" Callen said.
"Sure thing. I let you know what I find."
"Thanks. Did you find anything yet?"
"Nell and I have been looking at the crime scene photos and the police report and we looked at the bomb fragments they managed to recover and there's definitely a signature on the bomb and I've seen it before. They used it in Colombia. Specifically by a drug cartel of the family Restrepo."
"That's the drug cartel we are looking at. Are you positive it's them?" Feeney said.
"It's the same signature on the bomb. The same type of bomb was used about 6 years ago in a drug war in Colombia," Jenny said as she put pictures of both bombs on the screen. "It's the same signature. So it's probably made by the same, unless there's a copy cat."
"Anything recent on that family?" Callen asked.
"I'll look into that."
"I'll send you the files we have so far on this mission. Maybe you can get something out of it," Feeney said.
"Great thanks. Let you know what I find," Jenny said and she disconnected the call.
"If there's anything more I can help you with, let me know. I wanna catch the son of a bitch who did this to Lance."
"We'll do that. Thank you for all your help so far," Callen said and Feeney left and Callen and Sam went back to the office.
Just as they arrived at the office Kensi and Deeks came walking in as well.
"Did you find out anything from the family?" Callen asked.
"No, not much. As far as they knew he didn't have any enemies," Kensi said. "How did you guys do?"
"He thought that the mission might have something to do with him being murdered. He sent the data to Jenny so she would look through it."
"And I have," Jenny said as she came down the stairs.
"Did you find anything?"
"Yes, the naval intelligence was investigating this family," Jenny said as she put some pictures on the screen in the bullpen. "The Restrepo's. They are one of the toughest drug cartels in Colombia. Last night this guy, Luis Restrepo, was seen on LAX. He arrived around 9pm."
"That's enough time to build the bomb. He could've planted that bomb in Harrison car before he took off," Sam said.
"After he arrived at LAX he took a cab and the cab dropped him off near Santa Monica State Beach Park."
"That's just a couple blocks from where Harrison lived," Deeks said.
"Do you know where he is now?" Callen asked.
"I got a hit on LAX. He's booked on a 12.15pm flight to San Jose and from there a connecting flight to Bogotá," Jenny said.
"We've gotta stop this guy before he leaves the country. Jenny call LAX, tell them to hold this flight."
"Got it," Jenny said and the team left.
20 minutes later they arrived at the airport and went to TSA and together they went to the gate where the passengers were waiting. They looked for Restrepo. As soon as he saw them he made a run for.
"Sam, he's running. Kensi, Deeks check his bags," Callen said and he and Sam ran after him.
They chased him through half the airport. Sam caught him and threw him down on the floor.
"Let me go, I didn't do anything," Restrepo said.
"Then why did you run?" Sam said.
"We've got him Kens. Do you have his bags?" Callen said through the com.
"Yeah we got them."
"We're taking him to the boatshed. Meet us at the car."
15 minutes later they were at the boatshed.
"Why did you run Luis?" Callen asked.
"I've got nothing to say to you," Restrepo said.
"What were you doing here for less than 24 hours?"
"You've got nothing on me."
"So this isn't your doing?" Callen said as he showed the crime scene photos.
"Nope, not my doing."
"Callen, Sam, you guys might wanna come see this," Kensi said.
"What is Kensi?" Callen said as he and Sam walked out of the interrogation room.
"Eric found something."
"I looked into the other people who knew about this mission. And I came across PO Stephen Renders. He flies between Colombia and California with Military supplies. Every time he flew back from Colombia he received a lot of money from an anonymous account. I traced the account back to Colombia," Eric said.
"So this guy might be the one that they use to get their drugs transported to America. Do you know where he is now Eric?" Callen said.
"He's on a flight back from Colombia. He lands at Pendleton in about an hour."
"Thanks Eric. We'll talk to him," Callen said and Eric disconnected. "We'll head to Pendleton. See if you two can get anything out of him."
Callen and Sam took a chopper to the marine base in Pendleton and waited until the flight arrived. As soon as the flight landed they went to inspect the airplane.
"Stephen Renders, Agents Callen and Hanna, NCIS. We have a warrant to search this aircraft," Callen said as he handed the warrant to Renders.
"What's this about?" Renders said.
"It's about your trips to Colombia. You wanna explain why every time you came back from Colombia there was a huge deposit in your bank account?" Sam said.
"I'm just doing my job Agent Hanna."
"Got something Sam," Callen said and he came out of the airplane. "You wanna explain what this is doing in your airplane?"
"That's not mine."
"Then how did it get in your airplane. You're supposed to check everything before it goes onboard."
"Corporal Harrison found out what you were doing so you killed him?" Sam said.
"Lance is dead? It wasn't me I swear. I just came back from Colombia, have been there the last couple of days. Yes, the drugs are mine. Someone paid me to transport them back to the America and someone would come pick them up here. I needed the money. I didn't think it was a big deal."
"You know who is supposed to pick them up?" Callen asked.
"No, I don't get names. Just a location where I need to pick it up."
"When are they coming to pick this up?"
"All this stuff goes into storage here at Pendleton. Some things stay here other stuff are being picked up to go to other locations. I don't know when the drugs are gonna be picked up."
Renders was arrested. Callen and Sam went to talk to the person who was in charge at the storage facility at Pendleton. They saw that the package was going to be picked up in about an hour. They asked Eric if he could track down the people who were coming to pick it up. Eric found one of the guys and Callen and Sam intercepted him on his way to work. They convinced him to tell him were the shipment was going and who he was working for.
Callen went undercover posing as one of the drivers.
"Hey, who are you?" the man said as Callen showed up for the cargo transport.
"Name's John Hayes. Jimmy called in sick, asked me to take his place," Callen said.
"I've never seen you around."
"I just started and usually I work at night."
"Get in. I'm driving and don't ask any questions."
They went to pick up the shipment from Pendleton and they drove it to a different location. Callen was wearing a GPS so Sam could track him. About 30 minutes later they arrived at the location where they were dropping off the package. Callen saw 5 men waiting for them. They were all armed.
"Who's the new guy?" one of the men asked.
"He's filling in for Jimmy. He called in sick."
"You got my package?"
"Yeah it's in the back of the van."
"Good work," the man said as he inspected the package.
"So where's my money?"
"You'll get you money. Just as soon I know that all of it is here. Unload it," he told his men.
"Sam, I sense trouble. Get ready to move in," Callen said through the com.
"It's all here boss," one of the other men said.
"So give me my money."
"Give him his money," the man said and one of the other guys grabbed his gun and shot him.
"Sam, move in," Callen said and he grabbed his gun. "Federal agent! Drop you weapon!"
Callen shot one of the guys.
"Kill him," the man said.
Callen took cover behind the van and Sam came in for back up and he shot 2 more guys. Callen shot the other guy. Only the big boss was still left.
"Get down on your knees," Callen said and the man dropped to his knees.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Federal agents. We know all about your drug smuggling operation from Colombia to America and using navy personnel to transport your packages. Where are the Restrepo's?"
"I'm not talking to you."
"We are not giving you a choice. If you don't tell us you're going to prison for drug smuggling and murder of a navy intelligence analyst," Sam said.
"That's the maximum sentence," Callen said.
"Murder? I didn't murder anybody."
"Then tell us who did."
"That oldest son of the Restrepo's, Luis. He came to LA to inspect the business here. He told me he thought his business had been compromised and that he would take care of it. But that's all I know. I swear."
Callen and Sam took him into custody and to the federal prison and went back to LA. They went back to the boatshed, where Kensi and Deeks were still with Luis.
"Did he tell you anything useful?" Callen asked.
"Nope, not a single word," Deeks said. "How did you guys do?"
"We managed to intercept the package being delivered. Feeney was right. There was someone from the inside helping him. We delivered the package and took down the guys who were buying it. The boss said that Luis came to LA to check on business and that he suspected his business was compromised and that he would take care of it. But he didn't know anything about Harrison's murder."
"So what now?" Kensi said.
"Hey guys, I think we have something for you," Eric said as his face popped up on screen.
"What have you got Eric?" Callen said.
"I tracked him after the cab dropped him off in Santa Monica and he went to a hardware store where he bought the supplies he needed to make his bomb. He was caught on the security camera in the store," Eric said.
"Good work Eric. Send the picture to my phone," Callen said and he went into the interrogation room.
"When are you gonna let me out of here? You can't hold me forever," Luis said.
"What were you doing at the hardware store last night, Luis?"
"It's not illegal to buy hardware, is it?"
"No, it's not, unless you're gonna make a bomb with it and use it to kill someone. You found out Corporal Harrison was onto you so you decided to come here to LA and take care of it?"
"You can't prove anything."
"You're right, we can't. So unfortunately we have to let you go."
Callen and Sam went back to Kensi and Deeks and Luis walked off.
"I hope they know what they're doing," Kensi said.
"So do I," Callen said.
The next morning the team arrived at the office and Hetty was waiting for them to brief them.
"Well I'm glad to tell you all that the SEAL team in Colombia managed to grab the Restrepo family and they have all been arrested and Luis confessed that he killed Corporal Harrison. So good work everyone," Hetty said.
The rest of the day the team finished up on paperwork and did some training. At the end of the day they all went home. Callen and Jenny had to stop by the doctor's office. Jenny had another check-up. Everything was fine with her and the baby. The baby was growing nice and big.
When they arrived at home Jenny received a call from her sister Julie.
"Hey Jules what's up?" Jenny said as she answered her phone.
"Hey Jen, how are you doing?" Julie said.
"I'm fine. Just a bit tired sometimes."
"Okay. I have a favor I wanna ask you. I would understand if you aren't up for it though."
"What's the favor?"
"Matt and I have to go away on Saturday and we'll be home late so could you watch the girls? I'll bring them over to you so you can't stay at home."
"Just a sec…. G, would you mind babysitting my nieces Saturday evening, Matt and Julie have to go somewhere?"
"Sure. It's fine by me," Callen said.
"It's fine Julie. Just bring them over Saturday night."
"Thank you so much sweety," Julie said.
"Anytime. See ya Saturday."
"See ya."
That Saturday Jenny's nieces came over.
"Thank you so much again. I really appreciate it," Julie said.
"It's my pleasure. I like hanging out with them," Jenny said.
"I'll swing by tomorrow around noon to pick them up."
"Okay that's fine. Enjoy yourselves tonight."
"Thanks. See ya."
They enjoyed a nice evening with Jenny's nieces. The next morning Amy came storming into the bedroom around 8 o'clock. Callen and Jenny were still asleep. They woke up by her jumping on the bed.
"Good morning Aunt Jenny," Amy said.
"Good morning sweety. Did you sleep okay?" Jenny said.
"Yeah. Can I have some breakfast?"
"Sure. I'll make you some."
"Wait, you stay in bed a little longer. I'll make her some breakfast," Callen said.
"Thanks G."
"Come on Amy. What do you want for breakfast?"
"Pancakes," Amy said.
"'Pancakes it is. You wanna help me make the batter?"
"Yeah!"
A little later Jenny came out of bed as well and she saw Callen and Amy in the kitchen making pancakes together and she couldn't help but smile.
"Hey babe, you want some pancakes too?" Callen said.
"Sure," Jenny said and she sat behind at the kitchen table.
Just as the pancakes were ready Katie came out of her room as well and they enjoyed a nice breakfast together.
"Uncle Callen, will you come and play basketball with me?" Katie asked.
"Of course," Callen said and they went outside.
Jenny and Amy went outside as well. Jenny sat on the porch and Amy did some coloring. Jenny watched how Callen and Katie were playing basketball. Katie couldn't reach the basket yet so Callen lifted her up so she could put the ball in the hoop. Jenny couldn't help but smile as she saw how Callen was interacting with her niece and she hoped that he would be the same with their kid. He glanced at her and saw that she was smiling and he couldn't help but smile as well.
"Uncle Callen, can I throw too?" Amy said.
"Of course," Callen said and he picked Amy up and let her threw the ball in the hoop.
After he had put Amy back down on the ground Callen sat on the grass and Katie and Amy threw themselves into his lap and Callen fell backwards. They started tickling him and Callen couldn't help but laugh. Then the bell rang and Jenny answered. It was Julie. She and Jenny walked outside and Julie saw how much fun her kids were having with Callen.
"Looks like they're having a good time," Julie said.
"Yeah. They really like hanging out with him," Jenny said.
"It must be nice seeing him like this."
"Yeah it's nice. I hope he's the same with our kid."
"I'm sure of it."
"Hey girls. Look who's here," Jenny said and the girls walked up to their mom and gave her a hug.
"Hey girls, did you have a good time with Uncle Callen and Aunt Jenny?" Julie said as she was greeted by her girls.
"Yeah. It was really nice," Katie said.
"I helped Uncle Callen make some pancakes for breakfast this morning," Amy said.
"That's really nice. Glad you had a good time. Go get your stuff. Thank you again for watching them last night. I really appreciate it."
"It's our pleasure," Callen said.
"What do you say to Uncle Callen and Aunt Jenny?"
"Thank you," Katie and Amy said.
"You're welcome," Jenny said.
"Thank you again. See ya," Julie said and she went back home.
"They are really sweet girls," Callen said.
"Yeah they are. Looked like you were having a good time with them."
"Yeah. I really like spending time with them."
"Good. I hope you'll be the same with our kid."
"Of course I will. I'm really looking forward to being a father. Although it's a bit scary, but I'm sure we're gonna be a happy family," Callen said and he kissed Jenny. Jenny pulled him in a little more and kissed him very passionately.
…..
The team had a new case. They needed to help Agent Renko. He was working undercover and they thought that his cover might have been blown. So the team went to the gun range where he was working. They cleared everyone but Renko was shot and brought to the hospital in critical condition. Kensi stayed behind at the hospital and the team went back to find the shooter. A little later Kensi called to inform them Renko had died.
They investigated further to catch Renko's killer. They found out it was the chameleon and they tracked him down and captured him after he had killed Hunter. Callen questioned him to get information out of him and he let them to warehouse. But it was a trap. Sam, Deeks and Kensi barely made it out alive. Callen stormed into the interrogation room. He grabbed Janvier and pushed him against the wall.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? You knew it was a trap, didn't you?" Callen said.
"You value the lives of Agent Hunter and Agent Renko less than the others and what about your wife's or that of your unborn child," Janvier said and at that Callen pushed him harder against the wall grabbing his neck and pressed his gun against his chest.
"You stay away from her."
"What are you gonna do? Kill me? Then I'll win."
"Stand down Mr. Callen," Hetty said who appeared in the doorway. "I said stand down."
Granger authorized the exchange of Janvier for Atley. Callen of course didn't agree with this.
"It's too late; we have to proceed. We need to get Atley back, and that's the price we pay," Granger said
"The price we pay?!" Callen said.
"You need to let this go."
"He killed our people! Our people!" Callen shouted.
"We are out of time, Agent Callen! And we don't have another plan!" Granger shouted back.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Callen. I'm sorry," Hetty said and Callen walked to the other side of the boatshed.
"No. There's gotta be something we can do," Callen said.
"Maybe there is."
"Care to share Hetty?" Granger said.
"To make people believe it, I think I'm going to have to resign. And you Mr. Callen are going to have to shoot Janvier."
"Are you serious Henrietta?"
"You're saying you want me to shoot him and have myself arrested and thrown in jail?" Callen said.
"Yes, Mr. Callen, but of course Assistant Director Granger will bail you out after one night, but you'd still be under investigation for killing him so Vaziri will be able to get to you to confirm Atley's information."
"Are you sure that's gonna work?"
"No, I'm not, but we don't have another choice. It's either this or let Janvier get away. And after this is all done you can come back to work. So until all of this is over we have to treat this as this is real. That Mr. Callen is out of NCIS for killing Janvier." Everyone nodded. "Which means Mr. Callen, you're out your own out there. We'll try to help you as much as possible but you can't come in here or in the office and you can't call any of your team members."
"I understand. But there's one condition, you keep an eye on Jenny. I don't want her to be left alone during this."
"Of course G, we'll look after her," Sam said.
"I'll stay over at your place at night so she's not alone," Kensi said.
"Thanks."
They went to get Janvier and they made him wear a vest and they drove that the place where they were picking up Atley. As soon as they had Atley Callen pulled out his gun and shot Janvier and was arrested by two undercover police officers and taken to jail and Hetty resigned from NCIS. Jenny went downstairs after she saw Callen shooting him in OPS and she saw all the other employees watching the TV where they saw Callen being taken in the police car and then she saw Callen's face on screen and she looked into his blue eyes. She went outside to the parking lot to get some fresh air.
A little later Kensi came to look for her.
"Ah here you are," Kensi said.
"Hey Kens, How's G?" Jenny said.
"He'll be okay. Don't worry. We'll get him back."
"I hope you're right. I'll see you tomorrow, gonna go home."
"Wait. I promised Callen I'd go with you and stay at your place, if that's alright with you. He didn't want you to be left alone during this."
"Alright. Let's go then."
About 20 minutes later they arrived at the house.
"Just make yourself comfortable. I believe there's some beer in the fridge if you want and I'm sure we still have some chips lying around if you want," Jenny said.
"Sure thanks," Kensi said.
"I'm just gonna go take a bath; feel free to turn on the TV if you want."
After Jenny got out the bath they both sat on the couch watching TV.
"I really hope we get this thing solved soon so G can come back home. Don't get me wrong you're good company too but I just want him back save and sound," Jenny said.
"Yeah. I get that this is not the best time for something like this, but we had no choice. We couldn't let Janvier get away with this."
"I know. I just hope G doesn't get hurt in the process."
"He'll be fine. He knows what he's doing. He's very good at what he does."
"I know he is. I just don't like it that he's out there all alone."
"He's in jail tonight and afterwards it's probably too risky if he had contact with you."
"Aaaah."
"You okay?"
"Yeah. The baby is just kicking. The baby really has a strong kick."
"Can I feel?"
"Sure," Jenny said and Kensi placed her hand on Jenny's stomach.
"Wow, that's feels amazing."
Kensi slept on the couch that night. The next morning they went the work trying to help Callen as much as they could. Sam went to see him when he was released from prison. After that he returned to the office.
"Hey Sam, did you see G this morning when he was released?" Jenny said.
"Yeah I did. He seemed fine, asked how you were," Sam said.
"I just hope this thing is over soon so he can come back."
"Yeah you and me both. By the way, Callen asked me to give this to you yesterday before he shot Janvier," Sam said and he gave Jenny Callen's wedding ring. "And to tell you he'd be back for it."
"Thanks Sam," Jenny said and she put it on her necklace.
The next night Kensi stayed with Jenny again.
"So far the plan is working right?" Jenny said.
"Yeah so far so good, but we're not there yet," Kensi said.
"Yeah I know. This plan could still go wrong."
"Don't think like that. All will be good soon and Callen will come home. There's no way he wouldn't come back to you."
"Thanks Kens."
"You're welcome. I can see that you two really love each other. I've never seen Callen this way with a girl before. From the moment you two started seeing each other he changed."
"Yeah he said that he changed too. He's able to open up a little but more, at least with me."
"Yeah he didn't have the best childhood and he hardly knows anything about where he comes from."
"He's still searching for that but he's happy that he does have someone in his live right now and he's really looking forward to being a father although he's not sure that he's gonna be a good one. He finds it a bit scary and frankly so do I. I have no idea what's it gonna be like once the baby is here. I mean it's not just the two of us anymore. We have a little baby to look after."
"It's gonna be some change in your lives. I'm sure of that. But from what I heard it's the most beautiful moment when you see that little baby for the first time."
"Yeah my sister said that too. I'm gonna go get some sleep. See you tomorrow."
"See ya. Sweet dreams."
"You too."
The next day they put out an arrest warrant on Callen for treason and murder, which was all part of the plan. Eric hacked into the NSA to get access to an encrypted e-mail. They decrypted it and they discovered that Vaziri got this e-mail 30 minutes ago and that he probably had Callen.
Callen had himself caught by Vaziri and he played him into thinking that there was a spy in Teheran. He told him that it was all a lie and that they had planned this whole operation to convince him there was. In the end he ordered that he'd be traded for Janvier. Vaziri agreed and Callen returned back with the team with some new cuts and bruises.
"Good to have you back G," Sam said.
"It's good to be back. Glad our planned worked out," Callen said.
"Yeah me too. Come on I'll take you home."
"Can I use your phone?"
"Sure," Sam said and he handed Callen his phone.
Callen texted a message to Jenny. Jenny received his message and opened it.
"You can go home Jenny, the case is closed. Everything is fine. Go home. Someone will be waiting for you there."
Jenny packed up her things and went home. When she arrived at her house and walked in she saw Callen walking out of the bathroom and into the living room.
"G," Jenny said and she walked up to him and threw herself into his arms.
"Hey Jen," Callen said and he wrapped his arms around her. "It feels good to be home again. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too. I'm glad you're back again. Are you okay? I see you have some new cuts."
"I'm fine. Don't worry," Callen said and he kissed Jenny. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. Kensi stayed with me when you were away. I heard you asked them to look after me while you were gone."
"Yeah. I wouldn't agree to this op unless I knew someone was taking care of you. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you."
"That's really sweet of you. I'm glad you're home. What do you wanna have for dinner tonight? I'm starving."
"We could order in something. What are you in the mood for?"
"I could go for some Chinese."
"Chinese it is then."
After dinner…
"Would you mind if we watched some TV in bed? I'm pretty tired. Didn't sleep much the last couple nights."
"Of course. I'm a bit tired myself."
"Oh by the way, I think I have something that belongs to you," Jenny said as they were getting in bed and she grabbed Callen's ring from her necklace and handed it to him. "I believe this is yours."
"Thank you. I told you I'd be back for it," Callen said and he grabbed the ring and put it back on his finger and kissed Jenny and took her into his arms.
"I'm glad the plan worked how we planned it," Jenny said.
"Yeah me too. I'm glad I could come back home again and that I can go back to work again tomorrow."
"Yeah and Eric minimized the exposure on the web with the video of you shooting Janvier so you're good to go undercover again."
"Good. But I'd rather not talk about work tonight. I like to spend it cuddling with you and our little baby," Callen said and he put his hand on Jenny's stomach. "Whoa did you feel that?"
"Yeah, the baby moved."
"I absolutely love the two of you," Callen said and he started kissing Jenny. Not long after that they feel asleep in each other's arms.
…..
They had a new case. 2 marines had been killed. They were guarding a truck with military grade weapons when they were killed and the truck was stolen. The team had to go on a stakeout to find out some more information about a suspect, who was a known terrorist. They team needed to proceed with caution because this man was very dangerous. Eric had found an address on him. It was a warehouse. Callen and Sam were on one side of the building and Kensi and Deeks on the other side. The rest of the team was listening in from OPS.
"Anything sight of them?" Jenny asked.
"No nothing yet. They're still inside. Haven't come out yet," Callen said.
"Alright. Keep watching. It looks like there are 6 men inside. Probably all armed. Aaaah."
"You okay?" Eric said.
"What was that?" Deeks asked.
"That was probably the baby kicking Jenny. You okay Jen?" Callen said.
"Yeah I'm fine. The baby just gave me another kidney shot."
"Heads up guys, we've got movement here," Kensi said. "2 guys coming out and they are carrying some sort of crate."
"You two follow them. We'll stay behind here," Callen said and Kensi and Deeks took off. "The other guys are taking off now too. Eric, track them on kaleidoscope. Sam and I are gonna take a look inside."
"You got it," Eric said.
Sam and Callen went to take a look around the warehouse. They found a couple of weapons lying around.
"They've got enough in here to supply a small army," Sam said.
"Hetty, we've got part of the weapons that were on the truck. Kensi and Deeks are following the other crate," Callen said.
"Good work Mr. Callen," Hetty said. "Ms. Blye, how is it with you and Mr. Deeks?"
"We followed them to another warehouse were they unloaded the crate," Kensi said.
"Are you clear to move in?" Callen asked.
"Yes we're all good."
"Then move in. Grab them and secure the weapons. We're gonna stay here wait for the 4 others to returned."
Kensi and Deeks moved in and arrested the men and secured the weapons. About 30 minutes later the 4 men came back and Sam and Callen were waiting for them.
"Hi guys, looking for you weapons?" Callen said.
"Drop you guns and get down on your knees," Sam said who came from behind.
They dropped their guns and were arrested as well. The killers were caught and the weapons were on their way back to Pendleton.
"Good work everyone," Hetty said when the team walked back into the office.
Everyone finished their paperwork and they returned home.
Callen and Jenny were sitting on the couch watching some TV. Jenny had noticed that Callen had changed a bit since this whole thing with Janvier. She hadn't asked about it yet because she knew he didn't like to talk about stuff like this, but she could clearly see something was bothering him.
"Is everything okay honey?" Jenny said.
"Yeah everything is fine. Why do you ask?" Callen said.
"It's just you seem a bit different since this whole thing with Janvier happened."
"I'm fine."
"Talk to me, I can clearly see something is bothering you. Look what happened to Renko and Hunter is not your fault. You can't blame yourself for their deaths."
Callen sighed and he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"I don't wanna talk about this right now."
"You do this every time," Jenny said but Callen kept on walking to the kitchen. "Damn it Callen."
At that Callen stopped and turned around.
"I believe that's the first time you called me Callen."
"Yeah probably. It's okay to talk about this. You don't have to keep this bottled up. You can open up to me. I'm here for you."
"I know," Callen said as he sat back down on the couch. "It's just that I'm not used to talk about it."
"I know baby. I know you keep this sort of things to yourself. But I'm here for you. You don't have to keep these things bottled up. Talking about it helps. But first you need to stop blaming yourself for their deaths. This is not your fault."
"Isn't it? He went after them trying to get to me. They are death because of me."
"He would have gone after them anyway. Not just because he was after you. He wanted you all death. You stopped him."
"Then why do I still feel like it is my fault?"
"Hey listen to me," Jenny said as she sat next to him and grabbed his hands. "This is not your fault. You can't blame yourself for their deaths. I know it's tough to lose a fellow agent. But this is not your fault. You hear me?"
"Yeah I hear you, but…"
"No buts. You can't blame yourself for everything that goes wrong. Cus if you do you might miss some of the wonderful things that are also happening. Like you and me, and our baby," Jenny said and she pulled Callen too her. "It's over honey. Janvier is out of our lives, forever. And that's because of what you did. You sacrificed yourself, to make yourself the target to get Janvier."
"You're right babe. I just wished Renko and Hunter didn't had to die first."
"I know. It's really sad that we had to lose them. But think about how much more lives we could have lost if you hadn't stepped in."
"You're right. I just never thought of it that way. Thank you," Callen said and he gave Jenny a kiss on her cheek and just cuddled with her for the rest of the evening.
…
"You just have to work one more week right?" Callen said.
"Yep. The upcoming week is my last week. Then I go on maternity leave," Jenny said.
"I can't believe you're already almost 36 weeks along. Feels just like yesterday that you told me that you were pregnant."
"Yeah I know. But to tell you the truth I really hope this baby comes out soon. Cus I've had enough of being pregnant."
"I realize that it hasn't been easy for you the last 8 months. But just think about what are you getting, a little baby."
"I know and believe me it's all worth it. But I just wish the baby is gonna be here soon."
"Me too."
"I'm just gonna go take a bath."
About an hour later Jenny was out of the bathtub and went to bed. Callen was already lying in bed.
"Hey honey, you okay? You stayed in the bath for a while." Callen said.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just needed to relax. The baby has really been active tonight, but it's better now. The bath helped," Jenny said.
"Good. Well goodnight. Sleep well," Callen said and he gave her a kiss.
"Goodnight."
"And goodnight to you too. Don't keep mommy up all night," Callen said and he kissed Jenny's stomach.
The next morning…..
"Hey sweety, you sleep okay?" Callen said when Jenny walked into the kitchen to get some breakfast before work."
"Okay. The baby kept kicking me a couple of times," Jenny said.
"Are you sure you're okay with going to work today? It would be okay if you stayed home today."
"Yeah I'm fine. I'll be fine."
"Alright then. Let's go then."
The team had a new case to investigate. Jenny, Eric and Nell had just updated the team on the new findings in the bullpen and they all left to check out the new leads. Jenny got up from the chair to go back upstairs but she sat back down again.
"Oh my god," Jenny said.
"Everything okay Jenny?" Eric asked.
"I believe my water just broke."
Eric looked down to the floor and saw a pool of water lying under Jenny's chair. He quickly ran towards the door trying to catch Callen before he left.
"Callen," Eric called when he saw Callen getting into Sam's car just before the door closed.
Eric ran towards the door and opened in. Callen had heard him and he waited outside the car.
"What's up Eric?" Callen said.
"It's Jenny, her water broke."
Callen's face froze and he looked at Sam.
"Go G. I've got this," Sam said and Callen ran inside towards Jenny.
"G," Jenny said when she saw Callen.
"It's okay honey. I'm here. I'm gonna take you to the hospital," Callen said and he grabbed his things and his car keys and helped Jenny up and walked her towards his car.
"Good luck," Nell said.
"What's going on?" Hetty said as she appeared behind the two.
"Jenny's water broke. Callen is taking her to the hospital," Eric said.
Callen was racing towards the hospital. Jenny was in the passenger seat breathing heavily and occasionally screaming with pain.
"It's okay honey, we're almost there. Just breathe, breathe," Callen said.
"You just watch the road! I do wanna get there in one piece," Jenny said.
10 minutes later they were at the hospital and Callen put her in the wheelchair and took her up to OB and he checked her in. The doctor was on her way. A nurse brought her to her room. As soon she was in the bed she got another contraction.
"It's okay baby, just breathe, breathe," Callen said.
"Argh shut up!" Jenny yelled and 30 seconds later the contraction was over. "I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean it like that."
"It's okay. You can say whatever you want to me. It doesn't matter, I'm here for you. I'm not leaving your side. Everything is gonna be fine. We're gonna get through this. Just a little bit longer and our beautiful baby will be here."
"AAAAAAHHHHHH," Jenny screamed as she got a heavy cramp and grabbed her stomach.
