I'm so sorry about leaving this fic for all the time that I did.
Thankyou to those why added it to their favourites etc.

'You want me to stay Kelly?' Sam questioned, following both the woman and G. Callen into the home they once shared.

Kelly simply shook her head as she made her way into the kitchen with G following.

'If you need me' Sam stated, turning and leaving the home.

Upon hearing a noise in the house, Chilli lifted his head from his basket to find his owner in the house. The dog got up from where he was lying, exited the basket, walking over to Kelly.
Seeing the dog Kelly bent down, picked it up hugging it. 'Hey boy' she greeted as Chilli licked her face.

Callen leaned over with a small smile on his lips. 'He's cute. What's his name' he inquired, breaking the silence.

With scratching on his head Chilli stopped licking Kelly's face and moved his head to locate Callen's hand, when the hand was found Chilli licked it.

'Your meant to growl. Not lick' Kelly whispered conspirately to the dog as it gave a small sneeze and Kelly put it back on the ground as it looked up at her.
Kelly sat at the table with Callen following suit, the dog laid down next to Kelly's feet and closed its eyes.
'What are you doing here?' she softly demanded after a moment of silence.

Callen looked up from inspecting his hands, he had hardly heard his wife's question.

'Got tired of all the running. I missed you'

'Is that supposed to make me melt?'

'It used to' replied Callen knowingly

Kelly shook her head. 'Why did you leave?'

'You read the letter'

' Only every night since you left. But what I don't understand is what you needed to find'

'My family'

'You have a family! Me, Amy, Dom'

'I needed to know who I was!. Who I am!' Callen declared.

'I know who you are!' Kelly shouted as she banged her palm on the table causing the dog to yelp.
'You are G. Callen. Husband and father. The love of my life; NCIS Special Agent. The best undercover Special Agent the Agency ever had!' What did you need to know other than that?'

'My past!'

'The only person that was ever worried about your past was you. It never worried me'

'This isn't about you'

'Isn't it? I was the one who had to tell our children that their father had gone away without saying goodbye, I had to tell your team; my father who thought of you as his own son. I had to tell your beloved Hetty Lang what the hell was going on'

'How is Hetty' questioned an interested Callen.

'Get out' Kelly spat instantly.

'Kelly?'

'You come into this home and the first thing you ask is 'how's Hetty?' What your wife, what about your children'

'I...'

'Hetty's dead G. Get out' she finished irately.

Callen slowly got up from his seat, leaving the kitchen; he walked slowly through to the lounge room and took a quick glance around the room.

Meanwhile outside Sam Hanna had decided to stick around just to make sure that his Kelly G was OK. While he waited he dialled a number that he hadn't in a very long time.
'Special Agent Sam Hanna' he replied once the voice on the other end had picked up the phone. 'No nothing's wrong' Sam continued. 'I just thought id ring to tell you that he's been found and Kelly is talking to him right now'
'No I'm outside, thought id stick around, make sure she's OK' Sam continued after he listened to the other person. 'Yeah see you soon Gibbs'

Before opening the front door to depart Callen turned when he heard his name. 'She left this for you' said Kelly handing over an envelope. 'Its never been opened. I'm assuming it's her will'

Callen took the envelope 'How'd she die?'

'heart attack'

Callen nodded in response as he left the house.

Once out on the pathway to walk out onto the street Callen was suddenly blindsided by a punch to the face and was knocked down on the grass by the force.
Opening his eyes G Callen discovered that he was lying on the grass, looking up he found a shadow standing over the top of him. Once his vision went back to normal he realised that the shadow standing over him was Sam Hannah.

'Get up' was all Sam said with his fists clenched, looking down at the man he had just punched.

'So you can hit me again?'

'Just get up!'

Callen slowly got up off the ground, standing to face his former partner. 'You know a simple 'welcome back' with a handshake would have done' Callen stated amusingly, trying to make light of the situation.

'Don't push it G. Many people are pissed with you. Me included. How's Kelly?'

'Uh, she threw me out' Callen admitted.

'What you do?'

'I asked about Hetty'

Sam shook his head 'Where are you going?'

'Find a motel'

'I thought Kelly was the love of your life? Don't you think she deserves answers?' stated Sam.

'She is. I mean she was...I left to find answers'

'I know why you left! Get back in that house'

Knowing Sam Hanna was right Callen turned and walked back to the front door. As he knocked he knew Sam was behind him. 'What are you doing?'

'Supporting Kelly'

Hearing a knock at the door Kelly got off the couch, heading to the front door with Chilli at her heals.
Sam saw the front door open and when it fully opened he looked away. The person in front of him saddened him - Kelly Callen red eyed, messy hair with tissues in hand. 'I thought I told you to go'

'You did' Callen agreed. 'But we need to talk'

'About Hetty?'

'No about us'

Kelly cocked an eyebrow 'Us?. There is no us. There stopped being an us when you left'

'OK. I want to talk about why I left'

Kelly moved away from the door entry to left Callen enter.

'Nice black eye. You do that Sam?' inquired Kelly smugly as she saw Callen's eye as he walked past her.

Sam simply smirked and followed Kelly inside.

Entering the home he shared with his wife and children Anthony Jethro DiNozzo found his wife Amy DiNozzo nee Callen quietly talking on her cell.

'He's just walked in. I'll be there in 10. OK bye'

'Hi' greeted Amy with a sigh as she ended the call.

'Hi' Anthony greeted his wife with a kiss. 'What's going on?' he asked seeing an overnight bag at her feet.

'Dad's been found. Mum confronted him today. I'm going to LA to make sure she's OK.

'Want me to come. I can ring mum and dad'

'No. This is something that Dam, Grandpa and I need to do by ourselves.

'OK. I love you Amy.

'I love you Ant'
