Donny and Christie had just left back to Kansas. They hugged everyone and headed out. Christie had pulled Kensi onto the front porch and touched her arm.

"Ya feelin' better girl?" Kensi touched her forehead and then nodded.

"Yeah, a little bit. I'll be alright though." She smiled.

Christie smiled at Kensi, "Kensi, look….I am so glad I got a chance to get to know you. It was so much fun hanging out with another girl in the family. I really really hope things work out for you and Marty. You are a lucky girl, he is 100% solid. He's a good man like his brother. I hope to see you at Christmas, sis." She smiled and turned to look as Donny was calling her name to come get in the car.

Kensi felt herself start to tear up. She hadn't had any siblings before and the fact that Christie had just said all this was so sweet. However she still didn't know where the emotion was coming from. Kensi Blye was never emotional. But then she thought about it. 'This is what it feels like' she thought…'to love again.' The last time she showed emotion is when her love left, when jack left her and then there was love coming back into the picture with her mom, and seeing her for the first time in fifteen years….she got emotional then because she felt that connection again…and here it was again…she felt a connection to these people, to Suzanne, to Deeks. She cared so deeply for them all. She was in love with their family, not envious at all…because she felt apart of them but truly truly in complete love with his family. 'Wait.' She thought. 'In love with Deeks?' and then she just smiled and mumbled under her breath, "We'll see…."

Kensi hugged Christie, and replied, "Yes, I will do my best to make it back for Christmas," thinking she didn't know how that would actually happen, but who knows, she thought. "Thank you for being awesome to me, and you are so awesome and so much fun. I really liked spending time with you." Kensi nodded after releasing Christie from the hug.

"Bye girl!" Christie waved and ran to the car. "Bye momma!" Donny yelled from their car and Christie blew a kiss to Suzanne and everyone. Kensi waved to them. It was hard to say goodbye.

Kensi stood on the porch for a second and looked around the wraparound porch. She could feel herself getting teary eyed again. She didn't want anyone to see. Especially not Deeks. She tapped his shoulder and told him she was going to go sit on the couch for a little while and just chill. He thought that was kind of weird that she wanted to sit by herself but he nodded and said he would whip them something up for dinner. Kensi instantly walked slowly around the porch and finally plopped down on the chair with the soft cushions. The area that Kensi was sitting there was a chair that Kensi was sitting on and then another chair directly across from her and a couch sitting in the middle. Kensi silently sat there. Her arms were crossed as it was chilly outside. Her head hurt a little still but it was going down due to the Advil she had taken. The sun had set already and it was dark. Kensi sat and listened to the coyotes howl. She swept her tears away from her eyes as she felt so thankful to be there….that he would share his family with her. For a small second she started wishing her family life was better. After her dad dying and then her running away and now just now recently reconnecting with her mother. It was a whirlwind to say the least. Kensi began to stare into space thinking of the time she spent on the streets. Her thoughts were suddenly stirred and she began shivering because it was so chilly outside, it had dropped to 46 degrees outside and Kensi wasn't used to it. Deeks shortly came around the corner and saw Kensi. She had wrapped her arms around her legs, which were tucked neatly into her chest on the chair.

"Can I cut in?" He came up from the side and she looked at him, her were misty. She nodded. He sat down on the couch near her chair. He sat a bowl of lasagna right in front of her on the coffee table.

She looked up at him, "Thanks." She smiled.

"You want to talk about it?" He asked shoving a spoonful of goodness into his mouth.

She sighed and then turned her body to face his, "Why did you never mention your family before? They are amazing. They are so incredible… I …..I have just been thinking out here about it…" she looked away from him and fluttered her eyes….he could see that this was an emotional topic to here and few things were. He thought this may be good though, maybe a good step in their thing.

Deeks put his bowl down on the table. "Kensi," he cleared his throat. "I'm going to tell you a story…but first I am giving you my jacket because you look downright freezing." He said as he stood up and took off his jacket. He handed it to Kensi and she accepted it with no fight, she was, freezing.

"Thanks…"she looked up him with a warm grin…"Now tell me your story…what's it about…" she asked leaning more on the end of her chair.

Deeks looked to the ceiling and then back down to his food. Which they were both eating by now. He finished chewing and looked at Kensi, "well, I am going to tell you a story about my family."

He looked serious, he wasn't necessarily overly happy about this story and she could tell his tone changed a little. "My family. Shooooot. Hasn't always been like this, Kens. In fact I try to avoid the memories when I can. My…uh…my dad….him and my mom didn't get along. My dad was an alcoholic. He was hammered every night upon getting home. He physically abused my mom for eleven years. You would never know by how kind of a heart she has. She cares about everyone and thinks of herself last, always."

He sniffed a little bit and Kensi knew that he had never shared about this before…not even to Hetty when he was in the hospital and his dad's name came up on the sheet. She knew he was uncomfortable talking about it but it meant so much to her that he wanted her to know.

He continued, "My dad abused Donny for four years, he would make me watch. It was the hardest thing in the world to watch your older brother get beat up, and you couldn't do anything about it…and then the fear would set in you…if he can do that to my older brother what he will do to me…." Deeks was beginning to feel tense. Kensi noticed his hands balling up into fists. She wanted to hop the chair and move to the couch to show Deeks how much she cared, but she knew that wasn't appropriate.

"I shot my dad the year that he began abusing me. It was self defense. He went to prison on several counts…and I hadn't ever seen him since." Deeks nodded looking at Kensi pursing his lips together. She took a deep breath and her eyes went misty again, "Deeks…." She whispered shaking her head not wanting to believe any of the heartache that he had to experience growing up. There was about two minutes of silence as they both looked out into the pastures. Kensi felt heat running through her….she knew what to do….her heart began beating faster and faster she couldn't contain this feeling, 'screw appropriate,' she thought and in that instant Kensi stood up..

"Kens?" Deeks questioning her about to stand up.

"No.." Kensi shook her head and climbed onto the couch he was sitting on. She crawled across the opposite side and Deeks's eyes went wide. He grabbed her and pulled her in close. Their lips met, and moved so perfectly together. She cupped his face in her hands and he put one of his arms around her waist and the other around her neck. Kensi deepened the kiss by offering him her tongue. He took the invitation and kissed her more passionately. She moved her hands around his neck and switched positions so now she was laying right on her side. Their lips broke and then they just lay there. Very close together on the couch.

"Thank you…" she whispered.

"For what? Thank you.." he laughed.

"For sharing about your family, Deeks, I knew it was bad…but I had no idea. I would never wish that much pain on anyone. I don't like seeing you hurt…" she said propping her head up and looking at him.

Deeks took a deep breath. He breathed in and then out loudly, "It's mutual Kensi, hey…" he said as he began to play with her hair. "Yeah?" Kensi asked.

"Did you know I am lying with one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on." He smiled goofily and kissed her forehead gently.

She began to blush and put her arms around him. She snuggled up closer to him and they both relaxed in each other's arms until they fell asleep.
