It's what family is for.

Lots of Densi for you to enjoy.

Kensi and Deeks had looked at close to 20 houses in about two weeks. Either they were way out of their budget or too far from the beach. Kensi flopped down on the couch and opened her beer. "I don't think we are ever going to find a house." Groaned Kensi.

"Yeah tell me about it." Deeks joined her. "Maybe we should just keep the apartment."

"I really want a house. It doesn't have to be a huge on just a house." Said Kensi closing her eyes.

"I'll talk to Hetty tomorrow maybe she can help us out." Deeks looked over at Kensi. "You're still not jealous of Lexi and Callen are you?"

"A little." Confessed Kensi. "I just never thought I'd have someone in my life like you and now I want it all. The house, the kids, happy ever after." Kensi looked at Deeks.

"You know I love you Kensi, and I'm not going anywhere."

"I know that, and I love you too." Kensi snuggled into Deeks and sighed. Somehow they would get past this set back and find a house.

The next day Kensi and Deeks came into ops both quiet. "What's up guys?" asked Callen.

"We can't find a house. Most of them cost way too much." Said Kensi.

"Or they aren't anywhere near the beach." Added Deeks.

Lexi looked over at Callen. "You know there's a place just down the street from us that just went up on the market."

Kensi looked over at Lexi. "Which one?"

"The little white one on the corner."

"The one with the fence and porch?" asked Kensi.

"Yep." Lexi smiled at Kensi. Kensi looked over at Deeks.

"Can we check it out after work?" asked Kensi.

"Anything you want Fern."

At lunch Lexi drove home so she could get the number for the realtor. She called the number and made an appointment for Kensi and Deeks to see the house that evening. She was thrilled to hear the price was something she hoped they could afford.

"Kensi you and Deeks have an appointment at 7 tonight to see the house." Said Lexi as she came back from lunch.

"Really?" Kensi looked happy. "You called the realtor for us?"

"I figured it would save time, and I wouldn't want you to miss a chance on it."

Kensi was so excited the rest of the day that she couldn't sit still. Hetty finally told them to all leave because Kensi was starting to drive everyone a bit crazy. The two couples stopped to get dinner first sense they had time.

Deeks had to admit he liked the neighborhood. It was a bit of a drive to the beach but to see Kensi this happy would make it worth it. Deeks parked the car in front of the house and they waited for Lexi and Callen to park at their house and join them. The realtor was waiting on them at the door.

"The house is set up much like that of your friend's home." The realtor swept her arm around the living room. "Living room here in front, kitchen is off to the left, bathroom and three bedrooms are down the hall there and the dining room is off the kitchen." She left them to wander around and check out the house. Kensi loved it and so did Deeks.

Callen and Lexi hung back and watched their friends. It took them about a half hour to decide they wanted the house. It was only when they found out the price that they got scared. It was more than the bank had agreed to lend them. Kensi felt her dreams falling apart.

Lexi looked at the realtor. "They'll take the house."

"Lexi we can't afford it." Said Kensi swiping away a tear.

"No but I can. You and Deeks can pay me back." Callen wrapped his arm around his girlfriend and watched as Deeks and Kensi both stood there in shock.

"But… how…" said Deeks not really sure what to say.

"Well I've never really had a lot of costs, when I wasn't living with my brother I was in someplace work covered." Lexi looked up at Callen. "We already talked about it and we are going to do this for you guys if you really want the house."

Kensi finally burst out crying and hugged Deeks. Even Deeks started crying as he held Kensi. The realtor smiled and handed Deeks the keys and an envelope. "The dead is in the envelope."

"You had this all set up already?" asked Deeks.

Lexi smiled and nodded. "We wanted it to be a surprise."

Kensi let go of Deeks and hugged Callen first then Lexi. "Thank you so much." Whispered Kensi as she held on to Lexi.

"That's what family is for." Said Lexi.

"I saw we head to our place and celebrate." Said Callen. They spent the next few hours sitting out back enjoying the warm weather and drinking beer. Callen and Lexi both promised to help them paint and to move. They knew they could rope the others in too. Kensi already had plans to get her own swing as soon as possible.

Once Deeks and Kensi left Callen moved to sit on the swing. Lexi had walked them out so Callen sat there looking up at the stars and slowly moving the swing back and forth. Lexi stood in the back door way and watched him for a few minuet's.

She finally walked over and lowered herself to sit next to him. Callen wrapped his arms around her and held Lexi close. They sat there for a while and just enjoyed the quiet. "I think you have a new best friend." Said Callen.

"Yeah I didn't think Kensi was going to let go for a minuet there." Laughed Lexi. Callen stood and put his hand out to Lexi.

"It's late we should head in."

The next day Kensi and Deeks came all smiles. Lexi was on the phone so when Kensi came to stand in front of her desk Lexi looked up. Kensi was almost bouncing in place. Once Lexi hung up the phone she leaned back and looked at Kensi.

"I just wanted to say thank you again and for you to be the first to know." With that Kensi held out her left hand to show Lexi her engagement ring.

"OMG!" Lexi jumped up and hugged Kensi. "I am so happy for you." Everyone else soon joined them to see the ring and give Kensi a hug. Callen stood next to Deeks.

"I figured I better propose before you did." Said Deeks.

"I'm happy for you guys." Said Callen smiling as his little sister showed off her ring to Hetty.

"We owe you and Lexi a huge one man." Deeks looked at his team leader. "She really loves the house."

"Don't mention it Deeks. Like Lexi said it's what family is for."

Hetty handed Deeks a stack of papers explaining it was his repayment schedule and that the money would be deducted from their pay checks each month. Deeks was shocked to find the amount was less then what they paid for rent at the moment. "You guys are going to have more costs now with a house."

That night Deeks and Kensi headed to the new house to look around again and start to figure out what they needed to do before they moved in. Kensi walked out back and started to cry again when she saw what sat there. Deeks joined her and was shocked as well. There against the back fence sat Kensi's swing, a big blue bow tied to it. The swing had been painted in graduating colors of blue that reminded Deeks of the ocean.

"Did you do this?"

"Sorry Fern it wasn't me."

They walked over to check out the swing. There was a card sitting on the seat. *Kensi and Deeks, enjoy the next step in your life together. G.*

Kensi took off the bow and ran her hand over the wood. She smiled at Deeks as she sat down and started to move the swing back and forth. Deeks took out his phone and snapped a photo of a smiling Kensi looking up at the sky and texted it to Callen with a simple thank you.
