15th of May 2013

"Daddy! Daddy, daddy, daddy, DADDY! Wake up!"

Sophia shouted excitedly. Deeks groaned in response and rolled over to look at his phone. 6.47 AM.

"Daddy! Wake up."

By now Sophia had climbed onto the bed and was jumping up and down around him.

"Good morning sunshine" He replied sleepily. "Why are you in such an awful good mood this morning?"

Sophia stopped jumping and looked seriously at him.

"Because, daddy, today is my birthday!"

"It is?" He smirked.

"Daddy! You forgot?" He saw unshed tears in her eyes.

"I was just joking munchkin. How could I forget your birthday?"

Sophia climbed on his lap and snuggled up to his chest.

"I love you daddy."

"I love you too munchkin."

They sat there in silence for a couple of minutes, Deeks stroking Sophia's hair. He was the first one to speak.

"How about we eat breakfast and then take Monty for a quick walk?"

She looked up at him with big brown eyes. "And when do I get my presents?"

They ate pancakes for breakfast and then had a quick walk with Monty.

"You ready to go?" Deeks asked Sophia who was coming back into the living room area with her kindergarten bag. She nodded and he picked her up. Outside he placed her in her car seat and started driving. He noticed that Sophia looked confused as she looked out of the window.

"You're not going to kindergarten today. I have a surprise for you."

He parked the car a block from the mission and blindfolded her and then walked to the mission with her in his arms.

The whole team was gathered in the bullpen. A cake with 3 candles along with presents covered his desk. He brought his finger to his mouth so the team would stay quiet.

"I'm putting you down, princess, and then I'll remove the blindfold."

So he put her slowly down and removed it. As she opened her eyes the team started singing 'Happy Birthday'. A big grin appeared on her face and her eyes became big as well. The team ended and Nell stepped forwards and gave Sophia a big hug.

"I wish you a happy birthday, buttercup."

Sophia giggled as everyone took their turn hugging her and wishing her a happy birthday. From Eric, Nell and Hetty Sophia has got a new big photo book with some new photos of the team, Sophia and Deeks. But there were also photos that even Deeks didn't know. Photos from older mission. From the mission where he and Kensi posed as a couple selecting a ring. Or photos from different mornings they had spent in the bullpen being childish and laguhing.

It was Sophia's favorite present. She sat at Kensi's desk and flipped through it the whole afternoon. Deeks wanted it to be a happy day for Sophia but he just couldn't help himself. Kensi has been missing over a year now. He wondered if Kensi was alive or dead. But wouldn't he know if she was dead? Before he could fall into that black hole that was about to swallow him, Hetty appeared next to him and patted his shoulder.

"Go home, Mr. Deeks. I think that Mrs. Holly would want to be able to see Sophia and giver her a present, don't you think?"

So he had grabbed Sophia and her stuff and left. Monty stood right behind the door wagging his tail, happy that Sophia was home to scratch him. He was bringing Sophia's stuff in her room when he heard a knock on the front door.

"Come in Jas. The door is open!"

The door opend slowly and Jasmin poked her head in first, before opening the door further to step in.

"How did you know it was me?"

"I'm a Detective, I detect." A goofy grin present on his lips.

He regretted it instantly. The last time he had said that, Kensi was around. His face dropped and he felt like he would start crying. Jasmin seemed to sense that something was wrong and walked over to him and gave him a big hug.

Before either one of them could say something, Sophia came running from her room.

"Jas!"

Jasmin bent down and picked Sophia up.

"Hey sweetie." She kissed Sophia on the cheeks. "Happy Birthday! How was your day?"

Instead of answering Sophia showed Jasmin all the presents she's got. And of course she showed her the photo book more than just once.

"I have something for you too."
Sophia followed Jasmin back to the living room, where Jasmin gave her the present and Sophia eagerly unwrapped it.

Seconds later Sophia held white bed linen with photos of Kensi and Deeks printed on them in her little hands. On the pillowcase was a photo of Kensi and Deeks together and a speechbubble that said 'Good night little princess'. Sophia unfolded the sheets on the floor in order to look at every picture that was printed on them.

Afterwards Sophia smiled broadly up at Jasmin. She didn't need to say thank you because Jasmin saw it in her eyes that she was really happy.

"Daddy! Look what Jasmin gave me."

Deeks came from the kitchen and stopped as he saw what lay on the living room floor. He couldn't hold the tears back that had threatened to fall all day.

"You don't like them daddy?"

"No, they are beautiful munchkin. You wanna put them on?"

Sophia nodded and ran off towards her room with the sheets in her hands.
Deeks turned towards Jasmin.

"You know, I bet I won't be able to pull them off once they're on. Even if they're dirty. But they are wonderful, Jas. Thank you!"

He gave her a bone crushing hug.

"Daddy you coming?"

They lay in Deeks bed. Sophia covered in her new sheets with Monty at her feet.

"That was a good birthday daddy. But it would have been even better if mommy would have been here. I don't like that man that doesn't let her go."

She cuddled closer to Deeks.

"I know princess."

He tightened his hold on her and they slowly drifted of to sleep.
