I have no excuse this time. I was lazy and bad. You can all give me virtual time outs if you want. And I'm going to camp again next week and I won't be able to update till I get back. But the good news is that I love you all!

Disclaimer: No.

Natalie- She had no idea that he had a sister.

After dating for several months, and knowing each other for a couple years before that, Kensi thought she knew everything about Deeks. She thought that until, one day, she was proved wrong.

"All I'm saying is, as long as you counter balance it with exercise, I don't see how it can hurt," Callen told his partner when they were sitting in the bullpen. They had just closed a case yesterday, so today they were finishing up paperwork waiting for a new one.

"Thank you!" Kensi exclaimed, high-fiving him. They were arguing with their partners about junk food.

"But, G, if you keep eating bacon for breakfast everyday, your cholesterol will kill you," Sam argued.

"And doughnuts everyday make you fat, fern," Deeks added.

"But I work it off everyday, Marty!" Kensi glared at him across the bullpen.

"And I could also get killed by a bullet, so you never know if it could be my last meal. And I want to enjoy my last meal," Callen pointed out.

Deeks started to open his mouth to argue again when Sam cut him off, "Forget it Deeks. Our partners are hopeless."

"That's Sam-speak for we won but he doesn't want to admit it," Callen informed Kensi. She made an ugly face at her partner.

"Wow Deeks, I think you really are rubbing off on her," Sam smirked. Kensi's retort was cut off by Deeks' phone ringing.

"Deeks," he answered it, "Oh, hey. No I haven't yet. Yes, I will, I promised didn't I?" Kensi's curiosity was piqued by his words and tone. "Okay, I'll do it right now. Love you too, bye." He looked up to find the three agents looking at him with arms crossed and eyebrows raised.

"Who was that?" Kensi demanded.

"Somebody I should have introduced you guys to a long time ago. Anybody up for team night at Cibo?" Cibo (pronounced Chee-bow. Italian word meaning food) was a new Italian restaurant in Venice that had quickly gained the favor of team Callen.

"Well, I'm in because I really want to meet this mystery person," Callen replied. Sam agreed and Kensi just grunted in reply.

"Kens, baby," Deeks said as he walked over to her desk, "Even though you are incredibly hot when you're jealous, there's no need to be. I promise."

"Hmph, apparently you make promises a lot," she grumbled. He could tell she was over it, but was still going to sulk as long as she could.

He kissed her cheek and told them, "I'm going to go tell Eric and Nell."

Cibo was casual-dressy, and Kensi really could have worn pants, but she refused to be outdone by the mystery person. She wore a smirk of satisfaction when his jaw dropped as he took in her appearance. She wore a tight, blue dress that was covered in sparkle and came to mid-thigh and a cropped, leather jacket. She curled her hair and did her makeup with dark red lipstick and smoky eyes. She completed the look with black, strappy heels that made her tanned legs look like they went on forever. He didn't look too bad himself in black jeans, a white dress shirt, and gray vest. "You ready to go?" he asked.

"As I'll ever be," she replied unenthusiastically.

"That's the spirit," he told her sarcastically.

When they walked into the restaurant, Callen let out a wolf whistle and said, "Looking good, Kens."

"Thanks," She replied, "You guys don't look too bad yourselves. Callen wore dark jeans with a black dress shirt and suit jacket. Sam wore jeans and a baby blue dress shirt. Eric wore jeans for once and paired them with a green dress shirt and black vest. Nell had also chosen to wear a dress, but hers was a bit more on the modest side. It was green, tight on the top and flowing out from the waist. It hit at her knees, and she paired it with white flats. They were sitting at a big round booth near the back of the restaurant. Callen was on one side, Sam next to him, then Eric, then Nell. There was space for two people by Nell and one by Callen. Kensi slid in beside Nell, and Deeks beside Kensi. "Oh," she asked him bitterly, "Are you sure you don't want me to sit beside Callen so you can sit by your 'friend'?"

"Oh come on, Kens," Deeks groaned, "You can't still be sulking!"

"Don't you 'Kens' me, Deeks!" she growled at the same time as Callen asked, "How long have you known her?"

"Right," Deeks cleared his throat and got up saying, "I'm just gonna go, um, wait for, um, yeah," he then walked outside quickly.

"C'mon, Kens," Callen said, "Give the guy a break. He said you shouldn't be jealous, so don't be."

"I'm not," she replies, smiling mischievously, "I just love making him squirm." Everyone laughs at this, but the laughter quickly dies down when Deeks comes back with his mystery guest. The woman had wavy, dark brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a blue dress that hit just above her knees. It had long sleeves and was fitted to her slim figure.

"Nat, this is my team. This is Kensi Blye, my partner and girlfriend; Nell Jones, our tech analyst; Eric Beale, our computer god, or tech operator; Sam Hanna and his partner G Callen, who is our team leader. Guys, this is Natalie Deeks, my sister."

To say that the team was surprised would be an understatement. For a moment, all any of them could do was stare. Nell was the first to recover, shaking her head and saying, "Nice to meet you. Please, have a seat." Her polite words shook everybody else out of their trance, and Callen scooted a little closer to Sam to make sure Natalie had enough room.

"You know," Callen told them, "the only thing that would mark you as siblings is the blue eyes."

"We got those from mom," Natalie responded, smiling slightly.

"Nat's only my half sister," Deeks explained, "When I was two years old, my mom took me and left my father. About a year after that, she married Lorne Deeks, Nat's dad. I was four when Nat was born and Lorne legally adopted me. Ergo the name change. Five years later, Lorne was killed in a car accident. My dad came to our mother and told her that he had changed and that he wanted her back. She believed him and, three months later, they were married again. He didn't care enough to adopt us, which is why our last name is still Deeks. I took the beatings for two years to protect her. And then you all know what happened when I was eleven. After that, good ole Gordo stayed in jail till we were grown and mom wouldn't have anything to do with him."

Nobody quite knew what to say to this, so the subject was dropped. They spent the rest of the night laughing and getting to know Natalie, especially Callen. At the end of the night, as they were walking to their cars, Callen hung back, grabbing Deeks' arm so he could talk to him. "Hey, would it be alright with you if I asked Natalie out?"

"Well, seeing as I'm dating your little sister, and you asked so nicely when I didn't ask at all…" Deeks trailed off jokingly. "Look, I trust you man. I can't think of anyone I would mind less. Go for it."

"Thanks man," Callen grinned. Then he jogged over to Natalie's car to talk to her.

Deeks laughed and got into his own car and Kensi asked, "What was that about?"

"It would appear that your big brother has a thing for my little sister."

She laughed and replied, "Well that's ironic."

"You know, there really was no reason for you to be jealous."

She just pouted and said it wasn't fair because she had no idea that he had a sister.

Okay, I am now totally exhausted from writing this chapter. It is officially my longest one. I almost quit part of the way through, but I leave tomorrow and this was my last opportunity to write before I go. Again I'm really sorry about being late and I love you guys! Review please!
