I don't own NCIS Los Angeles! My native language is Dutch and I'm dyslectic so sorry for any mistakes. Thank you for all the reviews, alerts and favorites!
My sister and I had a lot of fun with this chapter (especially my sister). Enjoy
Chapter 21
Time went by and Deeks and Kensi started to be friends again. Not like they were before but the joke and banter came back. Callen and Sam were certainly happy with that. They could be partners again.
'I need to give you lots of love from Aimee, Sarina en Leo,' Sam announced when he walked into the bullpen a Monday morning. 'And a heads up: Aimee invited all of you for her school musical in which she has the lead. So keep your Friday night in three weeks free for my little girl.'
'Sam, you have kids,' Kensi said. 'Can you please tell me what to do for Damian's first birthday? It's cloming closer and closer and I need a perfect birthday for him. It is his first!'
'Well, just invite family and friends,' Sam answered. 'That is what we did…but, sorry if I'm wrong, Damian's birthday is in about one month right?' Kensi nodded.
'But like I said: he needs a perfect first birthday,' she said. 'Excuse me for one second.' She got up quickly and left the bullpen in a hurry.
'She wants to make up for forgetting him,' Deeks explained. 'And not remembering the pregnancy. With you she starts a month before his birthday. With me she's talking about it for quite some time.'
'What is a gift for a one-year-old?' Callen asked.
'We'll buy a gift together,' Sam said. 'Before he's getting a Russian dictionary.'
'I never got a Russian dictionary,' Callen said.
Another person was killed and they were standing at the crime scene. It was a bloody scene. One of the victim's throats was cut and the other victim's wrist were cut.
'Why would you make such a mess of it?' Deeks asked. 'There is no way that our killer left the scene without any blood on him. Someone should have seen something, right?' He looked at Kensi, who looked very pale.
'Are you okay, Kens?' Callen asked when he noticed her paleness too. Kensi held up her hand but then she quickly left. Deeks followed her and found her empting her stomach. He walked over to her and he rubbed her back.
'Damn,' she cursed and she whipped her mouth.
'It could happen to anyone,' Deeks said. 'It happened to me and probably also to Callen and Sam. I got some water in the car, let's get that.'
'That doesn't happen to me,' Kensi said.
'You can't always be tough,' Deeks sighed and he handed her the water bottle. Kensi drank some water and she returned the bottle to Deeks. When she wanted to go back in the house, Deeks stopped her.
'You don't have to go back inside,' he said. 'Callen and Sam can handle it. Maybe you should just sit in the car…or at least wait outside.'
'Deeks, it isn't the crime scene,' Kensi told him.
'I know, that doesn't happen to you but this could…' Deeks tried.
'I have thrown up earlier today,' Kensi interrupted. 'Can we now go back inside?'
'If you're sick you should go home,' Deeks answered.
'I'm not going home,' Kensi said. 'I feel fine. Now let's go inside and no word to Callen or Sam. Or I'll kill you.'
'Guys, Kensi is sick,' Deeks told Callen and Sam. 'We need to get her home.' Callen and Sam started to laugh.
'Good luck with that, Deeks,' Sam said. 'Kensi never goes home when she's sick, you know that. I dragged her home one time and had to stay with her all those days so she wouldn't come back to work.'
'There must be a way,' Deeks said.
'Only one way,' Callen said and Sam nodded in agreement. They both turned their heads towards Hetty's office.
'Right,' Deeks said and he swallowed.
'It's the only way to get Kensi home,' Callen said. 'It was just like when she had morning sickness before we knew that she was pregnant, Hetty had to send her home.'
'Morning sickness?' Deeks repeated and at the same time the men looked at each other in shock.
'You really think…' Sam asked.
'No,' Callen answered determent. 'She knows Ian for two and half months. She wouldn't, right? Beside she has Damian already.'
'Kensi might be pregnant,' Deeks said, speaking the men's thoughts out loud.
'I'm not pregnant!' Kensi practically yelled at Deeks. 'Just because I throw up some time doesn't immediately mean I'm pregnant! How could you think that? Ian and I aren't ready for that!'
'It just that you're acting like when you were pregnant with Damian,' Deeks said. 'You threw up all the time back than…it was just us thinking about you throwing up right now and your morning sickness back then…'
'Then you shouldn't think!' Kensi said pissed. 'Because I'm not pregnant!'
'But you did…did do it?' Deeks asked carefully.
'That is none of your damn business!' Kensi yelled and she walked to the fire range. She needed to shoot something! Preferably something that didn't move when she shot. Deeks walked back to Callen and Sam.
'That went well,' Sam said sarcastic. 'You can't just walk up to her and ask her if she's pregnant. Then that is the reaction you get.'
'You could have told me that before,' Deeks replied. 'But she's pretty sure she isn't pregnant.'
'Maybe we should ask her,' Callen said to Sam. 'We're not in love with her or jealous on her current relationship. Maybe she will act normal towards us.'
'So how are we going to do this?' Callen asked Sam. 'We can't do the same as Deeks. We need to be subtle. What is the plan?'
'Why do I need to come up with a plan?' Sam asked. 'You're normally the one who comes with a plan.'
'You've got two kids,' Callen said. 'You're more experienced in this area.'
'More experienced?' Sam asked. 'Did you forget to tell me something?'
'Of course not,' Callen answered. 'But what do we do? How are we going to bring it subtly? Should we first ask about how everything's going with Damian, and then how it's going with Ian. Move the subject towards a possible pregnancy?'
'Why don't we wait before asking?' Sam suggested. 'She is probably still angry because of Deeks asking. We should wait…'
'…and bring a peace offer,' Callen added. 'In case she gets angry. What do we got?' Callen and Sam searched their pockets. Sam held up a lollipop.
'I had to keep it safe for Leo,' he explained. 'But he won't mind, right?'
'Leo can keep his lollipop,' Callen said. 'I can't make him sad. Maybe Deeks has got got something…'
'I'm not pregnant!' Kensi said irritated. 'Stop asking me that. Just because I've thrown up a few times doesn't mean I'm pregnant.' Callen and Sam looked at each other. They hadn't said anything to her. How did she know?
'Okay, just calm down,' Sam said. 'How do you know that we were going to ask about it? Maybe I wanted to ask you to babysit Aimee, Sarina and Leo this weekend…'
'Because Callen would babysit them,' Kensi answered.
'But maybe I had to go somewhere this weekend,' Callen said. 'It's all possible.' Kensi took a deep breath and she looked at them.
'Listen, I don't want another kid,' she said explicitly. 'At least not for now. I got my hands full with Damian. Ian and I are not ready for a kid. We haven't even talked about it. So just drop it and make sure Deeks does too. Got it?'
'Sure,' Sam said. 'But things are going well between you and Ian?'
'Yes, they are,' Kensi said. 'Living with him is going great and Damian likes him. Enough information? Hetty wants to see me.'
'Just one more question,' Callen said. 'This is a question because we care about you. Can I ask it without you getting mad?'
'I can't promise anything,' Kensi answered. 'But I'll try.'
'Good enough,' Callen said. 'When are we going to meet Ian? We would like to meet him since he is your boyfriend and you live with him.'
'I'll ask him,' Kensi said and she walked to Hetty's office.
'That went well,' Sam said. 'She didn't get mad at us. And we got further than Deeks. She is going to ask Ian about meeting us.' Callen nodded and satisfied they looked for Deeks.
'Ah, Miss Blye,' Hetty said and she signaled Kensi to sit down. 'I heard that you weren't feeling well…'
'Don't send me home,' Kensi interrupted.
'I wasn't going to send you home,' Hetty said. 'Just let me finish.' Kensi nodded and Hetty continued. 'I want you to stay here. Until you're feeling better again, no more fieldwork.' Kensi sighed. She hated deskwork. It was so boring!
'Also I happen to hear mister Callen, Deeks and Hanna talk about a pregnancy,' Hetty said and she looked at Kensi.
'I'm not pregnant,' Kensi promised her. 'They draw conclusions way too quick. As if every woman is pregnant when she throws throw up.'
'They're just worried,' Hetty said. 'A lot has happened and they don't want you to get hurt again. They might be a little overprotective, especially mister Deeks.'
'I know that the last time everything went wrong,' Kensi said. 'I married a guy who was a serial killer and eventually tried to kill me. But does that mean that it will happen again? I feel…I know that this time it will be different. I only want that they see that too.'
'I trust your feeling,' Hetty said. 'Make sure they do too. Let them meet Ian. What is the worst what can happen?'
'Do you feel any better?' Ian asked when Kensi sat down on the couch and kissed him.
'Yeah,' Kensi answered. 'But…Do you…would you like to meet the team? Because they really want to meet you and driving me crazy with their questions. The solution would be you meeting them…'
'I would love to meet your team,' Ian answered and he kissed her. 'You spend so much time with them and they keep you safe while on the job.' Kensi sat up.
'Hey, I can keep myself safe,' she said. Ian smiled.
'I know that,' he said. 'But it makes me feel at ease when I know you have the team behind you whenever you get in trouble you get in trouble.' Kensi smiled but then she got up quickly and hurried to the bathroom. Ian walked after her.
'Are you sure you're okay?' he asked worried and he rubbed her back softly while Kensi emptied her stomach again.
'I'm fine,' she answered and she whipped her mouth. They heard Damian start crying and Ian moved towards the door. Not sure if he could Kensi alone.
'Go,' she said. 'You better get him. Before you know it he'll be sick too if I get him.'
'Okay,' Ian replied. 'Why don't you go to bed? Maybe a good night of sleep is what you need.' Ian left the room and Kensi splashed some water in her face.
Deeks was laying lazily on the couch, a beer in his hand and watching something on TV. He didn't really follow it. Monty started to bark and not much later someone knocked on the door. He got up and walked slowly to the door. Monty was still barking and circling around Deeks.
'Monty, go away,' Deeks ordered the dog and he opened the door. To his surprise Kensi was standing in front of him.
'Hey,' she greeted. 'Can I come in?' Deeks held the door further open and she stepped inside. Monty immediately went over to her and she stroked the dog.
'Kens, why are you here?' Deeks asked curious. Kensi took a deep breath and she sat down on the couch. Deeks walked over to the couch and also sat down. He was getting worried. What was going on?
'What if…' Kensi started. 'What if I'm pregnant?'
'You think you're pregnant?' Deeks asked. 'But you told us explicitly that you weren't pregnant. You seemed so sure.'
'I was sure,' she said. 'But when I got home…' Deeks flinched slightly when she said home. His place was once her home. '…I wasn't sure anymore. You seemed to know what you were talking about and you never know. Maybe the pill didn't work or the condom…' Deeks stopped her there. He didn't need to know that.
'Did you do a test?' he asked. Kensi shook her head.
'I really don't want to be pregnant,' she emphasized. 'I'm not ready for another kid and Ian also isn't. I noticed that sometimes he's sad when he is playing with Damian. I can't be pregnant.'
'Why don't we get a test?' Deeks said. 'Then we know for sure whether you're pregnant or not and if you are we will figure it out from there. One thing at the time.
'That are a lot of tests,' Deeks said amazed when they stood in front of the aisle with the pregnancy tests. 'How do we know which one we should take?' Kensi looked at a few tests.
'I have no idea,' she stumbled.
'First time?' a saleswoman asked when she walked over to them. Kensi wanted to correct her but Deeks was faster. He wrapped his arm around Kensi's waist, pulling her closer and he smiled.
'Yes,' he answered. 'And we have no idea which one to get. This is difficult: there are so many kinds.' The saleswoman grabbed a test from the shelf.
'Many women buy this one,' she said. 'It's pretty accurate but I advised to see the doctor anyway. It's possible to get a false negative or positive. The doctor is able to tell you if you're pregnant better than some test.' Deeks looked at Kensi.
'Shall we take this one, babe?' he asked and Kensi nodded. They followed the saleswoman and they paid for the test. They drove back to Deeks place in silence. Deeks was nervously pacing in the living room while Kensi took the test.
'Anything yet?' he asked. He heard some rumble and the door opened.
'I can't take the damn test,' Kensi said annoyed. 'Give me some more to drink.' Deeks quickly grabbed a bottle of water.
'They should have thought of another way to test,' Deeks smiled. 'You already drank two liters. How come you can't pee?'
'Do you think I know?' Kensi replied irritated and she gave Deeks the bottle. 'I'll try again.' She slammed the door close and Deeks started to pace again. Monty came walking out of Damian's and Kensi's old bedroom and he looked at his owner.
'Not now,' Deeks said to the dog. 'We're waiting for Kensi to pee.'
'You'd better not be telling your dog I need to pee!' Kensi shouted at him from the bathroom.
'No, I did not,' he lied.
'I heard you say it!'
'Then why do you ask if you already know the answer? Just pee on the damn stick!'
Deeks woke up as he felt something heavy on his chest. Did that damn dog crept in his bed again. He opened his eyes but Monty wasn't laying on his chest. It was Kensi and she was still asleep. Deeks sighed and he closed his eyes again. Kensi had drunk three liters and finally she could pee. They had bought two tests to be sure but of course they got a positive and a negative. Kensi began to stir and she opened her eyes. Deeks laughed when he saw her surprised face.
'Good morning,' he said. She pushed herself up and sat on the couch.
'Good morning,' she said confused and she grabbed her phone. 'I should call Ian…he's probably worried.'
'You didn't tell him that you were coming over?' Deeks asked.
'I did say I was going to your place,' Kensi answered. 'But I forgot to tell him that I was sleeping here.'
'Alright,' Deeks said. 'I'll make us breakfast and coffee.' Kensi nodded absently and she walked into her old room. Monty came running out of the room.
'You got kicked out, boy?' Deeks smiled and he filled the dog's bowl. While he was making breakfast for them, he noticed that he was whistling.
'I'll ask Hetty if I can get off earlier to see the doctor,' Kensi when they walked into Ops. 'You can cover for me with Callen and Sam. Tell them that I have to go with Damian to the doctor for a check-up…or something like that.'
'I'll think of something,' Deeks. 'But we need to think of a reason that we arrived at the same time 'cause we didn't do that in a long time.'
'My car is in the garage,' Kensi said. 'You picked me up.' Deeks nodded. That could be an explanation. But they didn't need one because Callen and Sam were discussing something useless and didn't notice them coming in together.
'Why would you say to a woman that you're a sewer cleaner?' Sam asked Callen. 'What kind of woman likes that?'
'The woman from last night liked it,' Callen asked.
'Crazy woman,' Sam said and he turned to Deeks and Kensi. 'What do you think? Would you go on a date with a sewer cleaner?'
'I once went on a date with a girl who worked as a hot dog,' Deeks said. 'But I don't think I would go for a sewer cleaner…maybe if she showered the whole day before our date…'
'Even a sewer cleaner wouldn't want to go on a date with you,' Kensi said. 'So you don't need to worry about that.' Deeks put on a fake smile.
'Good day, miss Blye,' her doctor Idle greeted and Kensi shook the woman's hand. 'I understand that you think you're pregnant.'
'Yes,' Kensi answered. 'I did two tests but one was negative and one was positive so that didn't really give me any information.'
'Did you miss your period?' doctor Idle asked. Kensi slowly nodded. 'How many days?'
'Five days now,' Kensi said. 'But I'm throwing up and apparently I did that also when I was pregnant with Damian. That is why I did the tests.' Doctor Idle nodded and she wrote something down.
'Alright, we shall make an ultrasound,' she said. 'If you could take off your jeans and lie down on the table. I'll have to do a internal ultrasound.' Nervously Kensi did what doctor Idle had told her. How was she going to tell Ian it when she was pregnant?
'It might hurt a bit,' doctor Idle warned. She moved the transducer inside of Kensi while looking at the screen. Kensi also looked at the screen and she wished that someone was here with her.

I know nothing about the medical procedures!
I finished my stupid exams! Everything went okay except for geography and biology, the last two exams. I think they were just too much. But I hope I graduate =D.
But now I got three months free...nothing to do. So I'll write en update more.
My sister gave Deeks the Smooth Guy Talk Award 2011! xD
She also convinced that doctor Idle is a reference to Monty Python(and that her name is Erica Idle). Well I don't like Monty Python(I hate it). I just needed a name for the doctor and my sister is constantly talking about Monty Python. But for my sister I'll say that it is a reference to Monty Python (need to keep her happy so she will continued to check this story xD)
Please Review =D
