13. Knowing that someone misses you

"Again?" Sam asked his partner, amusement written all over his face. Callen just shook his head and went back to his paperwork.

"Laugh all you want but this is not funny. She threatened me with a pencil!" Sam actually laughed this time.

"You should know how to deal with her mood swing by now, don't you think? She's 6 months pregnant…You've had time to learn what to do and what not to do. What did you do this time, anyway?" Callen looked around to make sure that there was no one around listening to their talk before answering.

"I forgot the chocolate!" Sam laughed once again and Callen continued.

"I went to buy a few groceries and she told me to buy her chocolate. I went there and I completely forgot about that. As soon as I walked inside she asked me about the chocolate and I told her that I had forgotten. She started to cry and saying that I hadn't bought her the chocolate because I thought that she was too fat to eat it. God, I tried to stop her but it looks like I only made it worse because she made me sleep on the couch and I still haven't seen her today."

Callen stopped talking and Sam stopped laughing.

"Look, you know that her hormones have been crazy lately. She has been driving Deeks to madness every single day…You just need to help her going through this stage. You knew that this wouldn't be easy!" Callen just shrugged and went back to his newspaper.

They stood in silence for a few seconds but it was broken by Deeks.

"Your wife is crazy…completely nuts. What have you done to her this time?" Callen shook his head to let him know that he was not going to talk about it and Deeks turned to Sam with a confused expression on his face. Sam laughed a bit before answering him.

"He made her think that she was fat!" Deeks looked at Callen both shocked and confused.

"Why would you do that? Are you a monster or you simply enjoy to piss her off so she can piss me off too?" Callen gave up and looked at Deeks.

"I don't think that she's fat, okay? I want to make that clear. I forgot to buy the chocolate…that's all. For God's sake, she's carrying my baby. I would never even dare to do as much as think that. Besides, I think that she's beautiful." Sam seemed convinced with his answer but Deeks seemed a bit unsure.

"Are you sure that you don't like to see her pissed with me?"

"Well, that too but I can assure you that I would never sleep on the couch just because of you Deeks!" This time Deeks laughed a bit.

"She actually made you sleep on the couch?" Sam laughed too and decided to mock Callen a bit more.

"And she threatened him with a pencil when he said that he had simply forgotten the chocolate!" Both agents laughed while Callen just shook his head.

"Where's Kensi, Deeks?" The blond agent pointed upstairs, unable to stop laughing for long enough to talk.

Callen shook his head and got up. He went upstairs to talk to Kensi because they needed to solve this thing between them as soon as possible. He knew that he couldn't blame her for the way that she was acting and that this was all because of her hormones. He would never dare to admit it out loud but he enjoyed it whenever she yelled at him or threatened him. He wasn't crazy but there was always a little voice inside of him that warned him that he was the reason why she couldn't control her mood swing. It was his baby girl that was causing this and that thought always made him smile.

Of course, that usually ended with Kensi crying because she misinterpreted his smile and thought that he was mocking her or thinking that she was lunatic.

He found her sitting next to the punching bag, a hand resting delicately on top of her rounded stomach. Her eyes were directed to her stomach and she seemed to be deep in thought. Callen walked to her and she didn't even look at him but he knew that she knew that he was there. Callen sat next to her and looked at her but the stubborn woman refused to meet his eyes so he decided to speak.

"Good morning, honey!" she still wouldn't look at him but answered him anyway.

"Good morning!" Callen scooted closer to her and she removed her hand from her stomach, making him smile. He knew that she had done that so he could replace her hand with his and that made happy. Callen put his hand on her stomach and felt the baby moving underneath. They stood in silence for a few seconds until Kensi broke it, still without looking at him but putting her hand on top of his.

"Your daughter doesn't like me…" Callen laughed a bit and kept stroking her stomach with his finger interlaced with hers.

"I doubt that…I'm sure that she loves you as much as I do!" he saw her smiling but she still wouldn't turn her head.

"I stayed awake all night because of her. I think that she knows that I made her daddy sleep on the couch and she made me pay for that." Callen kissed her forehead and she finally looked at him. "She missed you last night!"

"I'm glad to know that. So, how long did it take you to realize that I had simply forgotten the chocolate and that I would never dare to think that you are fat?"

"One hour…I missed you!" Callen gave her a peck on the lips and smiled-

"I missed you too. And for the record, I think that you are gorgeous and the next time you doubt that I'm going to rip your clothes off and have sex with you in the middle of the living room just so you know how hot I think you are!" Kensi laughed a bit and rested her head on his shoulder.

G Callen felt his baby moving underneath his hand and his wife breathing right by his ear. It was good to know that someone had missed him, even if he had only been away for one night and if that night had been spent in the living room. It was good to know that someone had missed his presence.

Hi everyone! No, I'm not Sarah. My hair in not that blond, I'm not that short (she will kill me when she gets to read this) and my eyes are not that green.

My name is Andrew and for the ones who don't know, I'm her dear brother that is weak enough to do anything that she asks me to. Well, today she begged me to post this chapter because she is too busy with schoolwork and with her boy but didn't want to leave you guys without anything.

Here I am. She's not too happy with this chapter so I'm sure that she'd be happy if you guys were to tell her what you think about it.

BTW, if you think that I'm weak because I say yes to anything she asks me to do it's just because you have never had her green eyes looking at you in a way that would make anyone melt.

Let her know what you think and she'll update as soon as possible.

Andrew
