"Next time, can you not say inappropriate things in front of my other coworkers Mama?"

"Oh please, we're all adults. Everyone knows how honeymoons work."

"Yeah but I don't need 'her older brothers'..." He said in air quotes. "... imagining that."

Kensi awkwardly sat next to Roberta as they argued back and forth. There wasn't much you could do to stop Roberta because in the end she was going to say what she was going to say.

Somehow the conversation had shifted towards their honeymoon when Kensi was distracted for a moment. Her thoughts had gone to the day they'd had and how exhausted she was but she was happy they had gotten their honeymoon planned.

"Don't you guys just want to relax?" Roberta said.

He would have loved to just surf and lay on the beach all day but Kensi's wishes had been fulfilled. They were going to help out in a village, learn about the culture and do some sightseeing. "We figured, we have the rest of our lives to do that." He smiled at Kensi and she reciprocated. "What better way than to spend our first days of marriage helping others?"

"Sounds perfect."

"Sounds like us."

"You guys are too cute." His mother lovingly looked at them.

The little bowl of popcorn was gone so Deeks took it from the bar. "You want some more?"

"No thanks. I feel kind of nauseous."

"You're not pregnant already are you?" Roberta asked worriedly.

"No mom, we would tell you if we were plus she's drinking beer."

"Well sorry, I have my doubts sometimes. Didn't hear about the engagement for some months." She trailed off.

"Mom, we said we were sorry."

"I thought you had already told her." Kensi clarified.

"See Kensi is the soon-to-be daughter-in-law I can trust."

"Why do you ladies always gang up on me?"

"Because we can." Kensi's smug smile said it all. As long as he reacted that way they would continue.

Two people entered the bar and Deeks went over to welcome them and get their drinks.

"I hope the bar picks up soon." He said when he came back and looked around at the mostly empty place.

"You're just beginning Martin. It'll work out."

"Thank you Mama."

"I'm gonna head home." Kensi said as she stood up getting ready to leave. "You can stay if you want. I can drive myself." She suggested.

"She's not feeling well. Take your woman home. You guys can practice those honeymoon activities."

"Aagh Mom." He looked horrified.

She laughed at his discomfort. "Just kidding."

Kensi hugged Roberta. "Feel better."

"Thank you." She then grabbed her bag.

"You're sure you're good?" Deeks asked his mother.

"Yes, I'm great. Besides I'll get Callen if there's any problems. I know he never sleeps."

"Love you Mama. Goodnight." He hugged her as well.

"Love you too. Night love birds." She shouted across the bar as they walked out the door.

"She's so embarrassing."

"No, no you're just embarrassed by her. There's a difference." She was way too amused by this not to tease him as well.

"I'm forty years old. She shouldn't still be embarrassing me." He laughed.

She laughed with him. His birthday had been that week. "You're right, you're so old."

"That's not the part you're supposed to take away from that sentence."

"You're getting old Deeks, I'm just stating the facts." She said lightheartedly.

"Says the woman whose only four years younger than me." He pinched her side playfully and she yelped. "You seem to be feeling much better." He continued.

"Deeks." She smiled. "The nausea comes and goes but I'm okay. "

"No headache?"

"No, I'm good. Just tired."

"Those microwave symptoms should be gone by tomorrow afternoon."

"Yeah…" She was cut off by her own yawn and then laugh.

"Let's get you home. It's been a long day."

"Hm." She kissed him and then got in the car.

"Really you leave me hanging like that?!" His arms were up in disbelief.

All she could do was laugh and just maybe she was feeling well enough to practice those honeymoon activities later.
