Callen was shocked by the sudden kiss, but damn it felt so good. He moved his arms around her waist and kissed her back. It took him a few moments to break out of his trance. Lori was kissing him! He gently pushed her away and he looked in her eyes. He thought he saw some of the old Lori in her eyes.

"Lori honey, did your memory come back?"

Lori gave him a smile and kissed him again. "What does that tell you?"

"That tells me yes."

"You're right. I remember again, I think most of it, at least the part about you and the girls."

"Really?" Callen said with a smile on his face.

"Really yeah."

Callen picked her up and spun her around. He was so happy that she finally had her memory back.

"G, honey, can you put me down? My ribs hurt."

"Of course honey, sorry," Callen said and he put her down and kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you too. I'm really sorry I forgot about you and the girls."

"Hey honey, it's not your fault, you were in a car accident."

"I know, I just can't believe I forgot such an important part of my life."

"It's okay baby," Callen said as he pulled her in for a hug. "Everything's okay. You're still here and I don't blame you for anything. None of this was your fault."

"I'm just glad I remember again, remember how much I love you and the twins."

Lori looked up into his blue eyes. She brought her lips closer to his and kissed him again.

"I've missed you doing that," Callen said with a smile.

"You mean this?" Lori asked and kissed him again.

"Yeah that. I've missed you. I know that sounds weird since you were here with me, but I wasn't just the same."

"I think I know what you mean." Lori wanted to kiss him again but they were interrupted by the pasta bubbling over. "Guess dinner's ready."

"Yeah guess so," Callen said and he gave her one quick kiss before setting the table.

Everything was back to the way it was, except for Lori's injuries but they would heal overtime. Callen was really happy that she had her memory back. They sat down together on the couch. Lori snuggled into Callen and Callen put his arms around her. He was so glad to hold her in his arms again like this and to kiss her again. He thought about the kiss they had shared this morning in bed.

"Hey honey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure G, what's up?"

"I was just wondering if something triggered your memory, like that kiss this morning."

"I guess in some way it did. I was shocked when you kissed me like that but after you left I started thinking about it and it didn't feel all that weird. The more I thought about it, the more I had these feelings coming up. And a little later it hit me and the memories came flowing back."

"Well, if I had known it just took a passionate kiss to bring your memory back I would've kissed you sooner," Callen joked.

They enjoyed each other's company for a while before Lori got up to go to bed but Callen stopped her.

"Allow me," Callen said and he scooped her up in his arms.

"Of course. I don't mind being carried this way."Callen walked to their bedroom and gently lay her down on the bed. He gave her a kiss and he wanted to pull away but Lori's arms were still around his neck. "Not so fast." Lori pulled him back down and kissed him again.

A little later they were interrupted by the girls crying.

"I'll get them," Callen said and he went to the babies' room. "Hey there sweeties." Callen picked them both up and walked towards their bedroom. "Wanna go see mommy?... Look who's here mommy."

"Hey, my sweet little girls," Lori said and Callen handed Julie to her.

Callen walked around the bed to the other side and lay down next to her with Myra. Lori leaned against him, with her head on his shoulder.

"This is nice, lying here together," Lori said.

"Yeah it is," Callen said and he gave her a kiss on her head.

"They are so cute. Look at them."

"Yeah they are, we make pretty cute babies together."

"Yeah that we do."

They fed the girls and lay there in bed together until the girls had fallen asleep again. Callen went to put the girls back into their cribs.

"Could you bring my crutches with you when you come back?" Lori asked.

"Sure honey."

While Callen brought the girls back Lori changed into her PJ's. A little later Callen came back into the room and put Lori's crutches in the corner near her side of the bed. He took his clothes off and crawled in the bed next to her.

"Thank you sweetie."

"You're welcome baby," Callen said and he moved closer to her. "I'm so glad you have your memory back. I was started to worry that it may never come back."

"Oh honey, I get that this must have been hard for so. Seeing me like this, not remembering you or the girls," Lori said as she rolled over and into his arms.

"It was hard sometimes yeah, but I was just glad you were still here. It could've been far worse after that accident."

"Michelle told me you were with me 24/7 when I was unconscious in the hospital."

"Of course, you're my fiancé. I couldn't stand leaving you and not being there when you'd wake up."

"Thank you for staying with me," Lori said and she gave him kiss before snuggling into his chest.

"Anytime time honey."

Callen was happy to hold her in his arms like this again. He had his Lori back again. The girls had their mommy back. All was right again. Callen watched as Lori fell asleep in his arms. He brushed her hair out of her face and gave her a kiss on her temple. A little later he fell asleep too.

The next morning Callen walked into the bullpen, only Sam was there.

"Morning Sam," Callen said in a very happy tone.

"Morning G, sounds like someone's happy."

"Yep, Lori got her memory back."

"That's great G. I'm glad."

"Yeah me too. It's nice having her back."

"Yeah I bet. How are her injuries?"

"Her wrist doesn't hurt that much. She's used to the cast around her foot. It's just her ribs that hurt if she makes a too sudden movement."

"Yeah bruised ribs are not nice."

"Yeah I know, I've had them once too."

"So everything's good between you two again?"

"Yep, we're all good. Everything's fine again."

Sam was happy Lori got her memory back, Callen had been a little mopey lately. They had a pretty quiet day at the office. They got a new case but it was solved pretty quickly. It was just past 5.30pm when Callen walked back into the house. He found Lori on the ground playing with Julie and Myra.

"Hey honey," Callen said as he closed the door.

"Hey baby. How was your day?"

"It was good," Callen answered and he gave her a kiss. He joined them on the floor. "Hey my little sweeties." He tickled both girls over their tummy and the girls started giggling.

"Yeah, that's daddy. They missed daddy today."

"I've missed them too," Callen said and he gave both girls a kiss. "And I've missed mommy too." Callen gave Lori a kiss too.

"I've missed you too."

The girls lay in between them and were playing with their toys. Callen lay there for a little while before he went to make dinner. He occasionally looked around the corner of the kitchen to see his three girls lying on the floor together, playing. That put a smile on his face. He couldn't wait to be married to this beautiful, sweet woman who was the mother of his daughters. They had a nice dinner and fed the girls. They put them in the tub before dressing them and putting them in their cribs. Callen and Lori looked over them in their cribs. They stared back at them with their beautiful baby blue eyes. They looked very peacefully. They were sucking on their pacifiers and watching their mobiles spin round. A little later they fell asleep and Callen and Lori quietly left the room.

They lay down together on the couch and just watched a movie.

…

Lori had her last appointment today with the therapist now that she regained her memory. Callen took the girls and went with her. The doctor was very pleased with her results. After visiting the therapist Lori and Callen went to see her doctor so he could look at her injuries.

"So, my colleague told me you have your memory back?" the doctor said.

"Yep, I remember again," Lori answered and she smiled at Callen.

"That's good. So how are you feeling, psychically?"

"Not bad, could be better though."

"How's your wrist?"

"It's good. It doesn't hurt that much anymore."

"Alright, let's see if we can take that bandage off," the doctor said and asked Lori to do some exercises. "Very well. We can take this off. The one on your ribs and your cast have to stay on for another few weeks."

"Okay. Doctor, is it possible for me to go back to work already? Only mild desk work of course."

"I think that would be a little too soon. We'll review that again on your next appointment in two weeks."

"Alright, thank you doctor."

They made a new appointment and went home.

"You really wanna come back to work already?" Callen asked once they were home.

"Yeah, just maybe 1 day a week or so to start with. Don't get me wrong I love spending time with the girls at home, but I'm not good at sitting at home doing nothing. At least there I could be useful."

"I understand honey, but you have to let your body heal first."

"Look who's talking, Mr. too-stubborn-to-let-my-body-heal," Lori joked and Callen smiled.

"Haha yeah I know. I can never wait to get back to work. And I know you tell me to take it easy."

"Yes, and I know you hardly ever listen to me then."

"I do," Callen said as he put his hands around her waist.

"Maybe," Lori said as she put her arms around his neck.

"Well maybe not always when I'm stuck at home but otherwise I do."

"Yeah, I guess you do," Lori said and she kissed him.

"I would love to stay here with you but I have to go to work. I'll see you later okay."

Callen gave her a kiss. He said goodbye to the girls and went to work. He hadn't missed much that morning.

…..

A week later they had a doctor's appointment for the girls. It was at 8am so Callen went with them before work. They girls were examined and got some new shots. The girls were doing okay. Callen and Lori held the girls as they were getting their shots. As soon as they got their shots they started crying. Callen and Lori did their best to try and calm them down. 5 minutes later they finally started to calm down.

They took the stroller out of the car and decided to take a stroll through the park for a little while. Lori was getting used to walking with crutches. Callen pushed the stroller towards a bench were they sat down. The bench was in the shade so the girls weren't in the sun. Callen moved the stroller slowly back and forth until the girls had fallen asleep. Lori and Callen sat there talking for a little while before going back home.

Callen placed the still sleeping girls in their playpens and he grabbed his bag.

"I'll see you later honey," Callen said and he gave Lori a kiss.

"See ya. Have a good day. Be careful."

"Always. I love you."

"I love you too," Lori said and she gave Callen another kiss. "Bye honey."

"Bye sweetie."

…

Now that Lori had her memory back, they went back to planning their wedding.

"Oh yeah, the wedding invitations have already arrived. They were delivered when you were in the hospital," Callen said and he went to the kitchen and came back with a box of wedding invitations. "I didn't look at them yet, I wanted to wait for you."

"That's sweet of you. Well I'm here now so we can open them."

Callen opened the box and took an invitation out. It was a light yellow card with silver wedding rings on the bottom left of the front. On the front was also a picture of Callen and Lori that faded in with the background. At the bottom was written: 'G. Callen & Lorainne Carter'. They opened the card and on the left page was a picture of Myra and Julie, also faded in with the background. On the right page was written a text:

our mommy and daddy are getting married.

Myra and Julie

"That really is a beautiful card. I love it," Lori said.

"Yeah me too. It's very beautiful."

Lori wrote the addresses down on the envelope. Callen put the card and the directions in the envelope. He also added the hotel reservation and flight tickets, if necessary. They had to do 11 envelopes, for Sam, Hetty, Kensi, Deeks, Eric, Nell, Lori´s parents, Lori´s 2 brothers, Lori´s sister and one for the DC office. Once they were done they placed them near the door so they could post them the next morning.

"Let's see, when do we have another appointment for our wedding?" Lori said as she grabbed the agenda. "We have a meetings with the photographers tomorrow and meetings for the music the day after tomorrow."

"That's good."

"We have to make a seat plan for the wedding and the dinner."

Lori printed the layout of the wedding venue and they wrote down were everyone was going to sit.

"We also have to register for wedding presents," Lori said.

"Where do you wanna register?"

"Uhm, I don't know. Macy's maybe, they have a lot of different stuff there."

"Sure that's fine by me."

They made a day planning, for when what was going to happen. Not just for themselves also for the wedding venue, so they knew when they needed to do something.

"I think we've got everything so far," Lori said.

"We just need one thing."

"And what is that?" Lori asked as she turned to face him.

"This," Callen answered and kissed her as he pushed her down onto the couch. They lay there kissing for a while until Julie started crying. "I'll get her."

Julie didn't calm down immediately so he took her to the living room so she wouldn't wake up Myra.

"Hey Julie, it's okay. Shhhhhhhh," Callen said as he rocked her in his arms. "I know sweetie. Shall we go find mommy to see if she has some milk for you?" Callen walked to the living room. "Mommy, Julie wants to have some milk."

"Come here little girl," Lori said as Callen handed her the baby. "You're hungry little girl?" Lori exposed her breast and held Julie close. Julie immediately started drinking. "There's a good girl."

Callen stood there watching as Lori fed their daughter. Lori looked at him and saw him smiling at them.

"You're staring honey," Lori joked.

"Yeah I know, I just love watching you with our daughters, especially when you're feeding them. That looks very cute."

"Or are you just trying to get a peek at my breasts?" Lori asked in a teasing tone.

"Maybe," Callen joked and Myra started crying.

"Why don't you stop staring and get Myra?" Lori said with a smile.

Callen grabbed Myra and went into the kitchen to warm a bottle up. Once the bottle was warm he took it to the living room and sat down next to Lori. Myra was crying even louder.

"It's okay my hungry little girl, it's coming," Callen said and he held the bottle in front of her mouth. Myra immediately found the pacifier and started drinking. "They are definitely two hungry little girls."

"Yeah that they are, but that's okay. They need to eat well," Lori said as she put Julie over her shoulder for a burp.

"Do you also have outfits for them for our wedding?"

"No, not yet, will do that when I go for my final dress fitting. They're growing so fast so it's hard to buy something now, they may not fit in it by the time we get married."

"Yeah they are growing fast. I remember when they were just born how small they were and them lying in the NICU. And look at them now, two healthy baby girls who have grown quite a bit."

"Yeah, it was hard seeing them lay there so small. I'm glad everything turned out okay."

"Yeah me too."

They stayed together on the couch with the girls in their arms until they had fallen asleep again. Callen placed Myra in her crib and did the same with Julie. And while he was at it he did the same with Lori. Lori loved it, being carried to bed like that.

"You know honey; you're getting quite the practice for our wedding night like this."

"Haha yeah that's true and for the rest I don't need any practice," Callen said in a cheeky voice.

"No, that's true. You're quite good in that department already."

"You're not so bad yourself," Callen replied as he laid her down on the bed. "But a little bit more practice never hurts." Callen had a smirk on his face as he kissed her.

His kisses felt so good. The moment Callen crushed his lips down on hers she was gone. She loved the way he kissed her, with so much passion and desire. She moaned against his lips as he slid his tongue inside of her. God she loved that man so much. If he kept kissing her like this she didn't know if she was able to hold off on sex till their wedding night, and it wasn't like they hadn't done it before yet so they didn't need to wait for that. Callen moved his lips towards her neck and Lori moaned as he found her sweet spot.

"G, baby," Lori moaned. She felt Callen smirk against her skin. "G, honey. Maybe we should wait." Callen stopped kissing her.

"I know you said you wanted to wait till our wedding night, but with everything that happened lately I don't think I can wait that long."

"I know, me neither. But it's not that. I don't know if it's good to do for my injuries."

"Oh yeah, I completely forgot about them for a moment."

"I just don't know if we should now. I don't know if my ribs can take it. I'll tell you what; I'll call the doctor tomorrow and ask if it's alright to do. And then we can maybe do it tomorrow."

"Alright, I think I can wait one more night."

"Maybe more if the doctor says no."

"Well let's just hope the doctor says yes then," Callen said and he kissed her again. "I'm just gonna go lock up and then I'll join you here."

"That's fine."

A couple minutes later Callen came back in the bedroom and Lori was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I thought you would've changed into your PJ's," Callen said.

"I wanted to but I thought why not let you help me," Lori said in a playful tone.

"I'd be happy to."

Callen helped her undress while he kept his eyes on hers. He pulled her PJ's on and kissed her again. He pushed down onto the bed and he straddled her without crushing her. After a few minutes of kissing Callen rolled onto his side on the bed and gathered Lori in his arms.

"I love you so much," Callen said in a deep passionate voice.

"I love you too," Lori said as she crawled closer to Callen.

Callen gave her a kiss on her head. He circled his finger over Lori's back and he felt Lori relax even more in his arms. A little later she'd fallen asleep and Callen followed her a few minutes later.

….

The next day, while Callen was at work, Lori called the doctor. It was a bit awkward for Lori to ask and the doctor had to laugh a little as she asked it.

She was just making a sandwich when her phone chirped. She looked and saw she had a message from Callen. She opened it and the message read:

'Have you called the doctor yet? I love you.'

'Yes I have and I love you too,' Lori replied.

'And what did he say?'

'That's for me to know and for you to find out later when you get home.'

'Come one honey, just tell me.'

'Nope, you'll just have to wait till you get home.'

'Tease.'

'Tough. I gotta go, Myra's crying. Love you.'

'Love you too.'

Callen threw his phone back on his desk.

"Everything okay G?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure. Lori was just teasing me a bit."

Sam couldn't help but laugh a little. He had an idea what Lori was teasing him about.

"You're having sexy message talk with Lori?" Deeks said and Called gave him a stern look.

"Deeks!" Kensi said.

"What? I'm just curious."

"Zip it Deeks, unless you wanna get slapped."

"What? I can't be curious?"

"No, not about my love life with Lori," Callen said. "That's none of your business. I don't ask you about the girls you date and I don't want you asking about me and Lori. Got it?"

"Got it," Deeks said a little embarrassed.

"Good," Callen said and he went back to his paperwork.

A little later they had a new case they got started with. Callen had to stay a little later to wrap the case up so he sent a text to Lori telling her he was going to be late.

Lori wasn't happy about it, but she knew it sometimes came with the job. She just missed him and wanted him to come home. Lori had dinner by herself and brought the girls to bed a little later. She was getting the hang of walking with a cast and crutches, although when she held one of the babies she'd only use one. She put their music mobiles on and watched them as they lay in their cribs. Their baby blues eyes looked up at her while they sucked on their pacifiers. They were absolutely adorable. Having them was absolutely the best thing that had happened in her live, that and getting engaged to Callen. She watched them for a little while until they had fallen asleep. Lori decided to go lie down in bed and wait for Callen there.

"Hey Lori, I'm home," Callen said but he didn't hear anything so he figured Lori maybe was already asleep.

He shut down the lights and locked up. He grabbed a beer on the way to the bedroom. When he stood in the door opening the beer bottle almost fell out of his hands as he stood dead in his tracks.
