Zac shot off the couch as he heard Marisa scream.
"Mari, are you alright?" Zac asked concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine honey. Just hit my head."
"Okay." Zac let out a relieved sigh, and then it hit him. "Mari, you called me honey."
"Yes, I know."
Zac turned her to him and put his hands gently on her shoulder. "Do you remember again?"
Marisa smiled at him and pulled him in for a kiss. "What does that tell you?"
"You really remember again?"
"Yeah I guess I do. That hit on the head must have brought my memory back."
"Thank god." Zac picked her up and spun her round. "It's so good to have you back."
"Honey, please put me down, my ribs."
"Oh yes sorry." Zac quickly put her down and pulled her in for a deep kiss. "I'm so glad you're back. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too. I'm so sorry I forgot about you and what we have."
"It's okay, it wasn't your fault."
"Still, it must not have been easy for you for me not to remember you."
"Yes, it wasn't easy. But I had fate in you that your memory would come back. I'm so glad it's back now. I love you."
"I love you too."
Zac took her in his arms and just held her for a minute. He was so glad Marisa remembered again.
Zac carried Marisa over to the bed when Marisa wanted to go to sleep. He gently put her down on the bed and helped her change into her pajamas. After he was done with Marisa Zac took his own clothes off and joined Marisa in bed. Marisa lay on her side and looked into Zac's eyes.
"I love you so much," Marisa told him in a passionate voice.
"I love you too. More than you know."
Zac moved his head towards Marisa's and crashed his lips down on her. He missed kissing her like this. Marisa moaned into the kiss as Zac deepened it. Zac turned her on her back. He moved his hand up on her leg and slid under her pajama top. Marisa pulled out of the kiss when she felt Zac's hand on her breast.
"Zac honey, as much as I would love this, I don't know if it's good for my injuries."
"Right I wasn't thinking."
"We could try and if it hurts too much we'll stop."
"That sounds fine to me."
Zac smiled at her and kissed her again. He moved both his hands under her top and pulled it upwards. He stopped kissing her briefly as he took her top off. Zac loved every second of it. He had missed Marisa so much. And by the sounds of Marisa's moans she liked was Zac was doing to her. Zac took his time. He went slowly and gently so he wouldn't hurt Marisa. Zac kissed her neck as he pushed into her. He moved slowly.
"Are you okay honey? Am I hurting you?"
"No, you're good. Keep going."
Zac moved his head down and kissed her breasts. Marisa arched into him. Zac held her and kissed her as he moved in and out of her. After a while he went faster but was stopped by Marisa.
"Please honey, go slower, this is hurting my ribs too much."
"Okay sorry."
They both wanted the movements to go faster and harder but it hurt Marisa too much so they kept it slow. It still felt so good. Marisa tried to move her legs around Zac's waist. She managed to do so. Zac grabbed hold of her legs to hold them in place. This position was so good. Zac hit her spot every time. It was slow but very sensual. Zac used his hand on Marisa and that was enough for her. She quivered against him as she reached her peak. Zac followed slowly after her.
"Oh wow, that was so good," Marisa breathed out.
"God yes it was. I've missed this."
"Yeah me too. Thank you honey."
"You're welcome Mari."
Marisa crawled against Zac and lay her head down on his chest. Zac moved his arms around her and together they fell asleep.
…
Sara woke up the next morning and felt Callen laying on top her stomach. She looked down and saw Callen giving her stomach kisses and moving his hand over it.
"Good morning G."
Callen looked up as he heard Sara's voice. "Good morning honey." Callen moved up and gave her a kiss. "I hope I didn't wake you."
"No don't worry. I kinda like it when you're lying on my stomach like that."
"I love it. I love feeling our little baby move around in there."
"I'm glad you do."
"Do you have something planned for today?"
"Yes, I'm going dress shopping with Marisa."
"That's nice. I'm curious to see what you will pick."
"You'll have to wait till our wedding day, you can't see it before."
"Not even a little hint?"
"Nope, you'll just have to be patient."
"Bummer."
"Tough."
Callen gave her one more kiss before he got out and went to make them breakfast. After breakfast Sara got showered and dressed and headed over to Marisa's place.
"Hey mom," Marisa greeted as she opened the door.
"Hey Marisa, how are you?"
"I'm great actually. My memory is back."
"That's so great," Sara replied as she gave Marisa a hug. "Does Zac know already?"
"Yes I told him yesterday. He was really happy about it."
"I bet. Are you ready to go?"
"Yes I am." Marisa grabbed her purse and crutches. "Bye Zac."
"Bye Mari."
Sara drove them to the bridal store.
"Can I help you?" The saleswoman asked as Sara and Marisa stepped in.
"Yes, I made an appointment. Gabriella Ramirez." That was Sara's identity outside of work.
"Ah yes. Right this way. We'll look at some wedding dresses. When will you be needing the dress?"
"In about a month."
"Alright. We have some special dresses for pregnant women."
The saleswoman picked out a few dresses for Sara. Sara picked a couple of dresses she liked and tried them on.
"Which one do like best?" Sara asked Marisa.
"I think the second one."
"Yeah I liked that one too."
"Put that one on again."
Sara put that one on again and decided this was going to be the dress. Next they looked at bridesmaids dresses. They picked out a beautiful dress for Marisa. They also picked out shoes and a veil for Sara.
"I'll go with dad so we can pick out a suit that matches your dress."
"That's fine."
They walked out and went to grab a bite for lunch. Sara dropped Marisa off at her place before driving home.
"So you found a nice dress?" Callen asked when Sara walked through the door.
"Yes I did. Marisa will go with you to find a suit so we'll match."
"That's fine. I can't wait for us to be married. Speaking of which I was looking at venues when you were gone and I think I found the perfect one."
"Really? Show me."
Callen and Sara sat behind the computer and looked at the venue. It was so beautiful.
"I think this is perfect," Sara spoke. "I think we found the venue."
"I'll give them a call to see if they are available in a month."
Callen dialed the phone number and waited for it to be picked up. Callen asked them for a date within a month from now.
"They have one available in 3 weeks, then nothing for 5 months. Do you want it then?" Callen asked Sara.
"Sure, that's fine."
"Great, we'll take it."
Callen made and appointment to come and visit the place and discuss what they wanted. They could come Monday evening.
"I'm so happy we're getting married," Callen told Sara as he sat down next to her on the couch.
"Me too. I love you so much."
"I love you too." Callen gave Sara a kiss. "And I love our little baby in here too." Callen gave Sara's stomach a kiss too and he felt the baby move under his hand. Callen smiled and gave her stomach another kiss.
….
That Monday Callen and Sara went to check out the venue. It was even more beautiful than on the pictures. It was perfect for their wedding. They went over the floral arrangements and the menu for dinner and the hors d'oeuvres. Satisfied with everything they went back home. Sara filled the tub with water and Callen joined her. Sara sat with her back against Callen and Callen had his hands on her stomach.
"This feels comfortable," Sara admitted.
"Yes it does. I could stay like this forever."
"Me too."
They stayed in the tub until the water ran cold. They got dressed again and lay down on the couch and watched some TV.
That Saturday Callen went to pick up Marisa to go buy a wedding suit. Marisa picked out a beautiful suit for Callen that matched Sara's dress.
"Can you give me a little hint about your mom's wedding dress?" Callen tried.
"Nice try dad, but I'm not telling you anything."
"Come on, a little hint."
"Nope, you'll just have to wait and see."
"You're no fun."
"Tough."
"You're just like your mother. She said the same."
"It's just 3 weeks dad."
"Yeah I know. I can't wait to marry your mother."
"I'm so happy you found someone that makes you happy and I'm even happier that it's my mother and that I'm getting a baby brother or sister."
"Yeah me too. I never thought I would have this but I'm very happy that I do. Your mother and I got a second change."
"Yeah you did."
"Hey," Zac greeted Marisa as she walked in. "Found a suit?"
"Yes we did. We need to get you a suit too."
"Yeah we do. I can't wait to see you in your bridesmaids dress. I bet you look gorgeous in it."
"And I'll bet you will look so handsome in your suit."
…..
That Monday Marisa had a checkup with her doctor. Her ribs were healing nicely. The bandages around her arm and ankle could go off but she had to be careful the first couple of days. Her ribs needed to stay in a bandage for a few more weeks.
"Can I go back to work already doctor?"
"Do you have a desk job?"
"Not actually but I can sit behind a desk. It would limit my job. But I could do it."
"Alright. But just 2 days to start with."
"Alright, thank you doctor."
….
The next day Marisa went back to work.
"Are you okay to drive on your own?" Zac asked.
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine. And I promise I'll be behind my desk, no going out into the field."
"Good. I'll see you later."
Zac gave Marisa a kiss before he left for work. Marisa went to work about 20 minutes later.
"Morning Dad," Marisa spoke as she walked into the bullpen.
"Morning Marisa," Callen replied surprised. "Back already?"
"Yes, the doctor cleared me for 2 days a week of deskwork."
"That's nice. Better than nothing."
"Yes it is. I was going crazy sitting at home."
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, the bandages around my ankle and wrist have gone off and my ribs are healing nicely. They do hurt a bit from time to time."
"Yeah, I know how it feels."
"How's mom?" Marisa noticed she wasn't there.
"She's fine. She just in the bathroom."
"Ah yes. All part of being pregnant right?"
"Yep."
"How's the little baby doing?"
"The baby is doing very well. It's growing very nice."
"That's good to hear."
"How's the wedding planning going?"
"Very well. We picked out a venue and the date is Saturday in 3 weeks."
"That's nice. Excited for it?"
"Very. I can't wait to see your mom walk down the aisle."
"And I can't wait to see you at the end of the aisle," Sara spoke as she walked in. "Hey Marisa, back already?"
"Yep, just 2 days a week and desk work."
"Ah that's nice. Welcome back."
"Thanks."
Luckily today was pretty quiet so Marisa had a chance to catch up on her paperwork. In the afternoon she disappeared to the shooting range. She loaded her gun and hung the target up. She took her stance and emptied her magazine. It felt good to be back again and to shoot her gun. She wanted to go out into the field but she knew Callen wouldn't let her.
When she was done shooting Callen walked into the range.
"Here you are."
Marisa turned around as she heard her father's voice.
"Just thought I'd practice my shooting."
"Well, I think you killed him," Callen spoke looking at the target.
"Yeah, probably."
"How are you and Zac doing?"
"We're doing very well. He's taking good care of me."
"That's good. He's a really nice guy. He was so worried about you when you were in the hospital. He wouldn't leave. I could see it was hard for him with you losing your memory."
"Yeah I bet. But all's good now between us. It's nice that I don't have to lie to him about who I really am and what I do."
"Yeah, tell me about it. It's hard sometimes. I'm glad your mom knows who I really am. It makes the relationship so much easier."
"Yeah it does."
"Are you coming back to the bullpen?"
"I'm just gonna shoot some more."
"Alright that's fine."
Marisa hung up another target as Callen left.
It was just before 6pm when she walked back in the house. She could smell dinner.
"Hey honey," Marisa spoke as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Mari," Zac replied and gave her a kiss. "How was work?"
"Fine, just caught up on some paper work and brushed up on my shooting skills."
"I'm sure you still had it."
"Yeah, in the words of my dad, I killed him."
"Ha, that's good I guess. Have you killed people often?"
"Only when I had no other choice. Otherwise I shoot to injure."
"It must be difficult sometimes."
"In the beginning it was but now I'm used to it. I won't hesitate to pull the trigger if my life or someone else's is in danger. But some cases or more difficult than others, especially if hostages are involved."
"Yeah I bet. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes."
"Just like I don't want to be in your shoes. That's why you're a lawyer and I'm a federal agent. Have you ever shot a gun?"
"Uhm nope."
"How about I show you? We can go to Santa Monica Pier. It's not that hard."
"Alright I can give it a shot."
They ate dinner and left for Santa Monica Pier. They found the shooting booth and Marisa paid the man.
"You hold it like this." Marisa showed him how to do it. "Then you line up your target, focus on it and pull the trigger."
Marisa showed him how to and shot the targets. She hit all of them.
"Impressive."
"Now let's how you'll do. Hold the gun like I told you, line up your target, focus and pull the trigger."
Zac focused on the target and pulled the trigger. He missed.
"Try again." Zac tried again. This time he was closer. "Not bad. Focus on the target, imagine you hitting it. Don't look at anything else. Focus and pull the trigger when you now the target in in your sight."
Zac fired again. This time he hit it.
"Well done. See it's not so hard."
"Easy for you to say. You've been trained on how to shoot a weapon."
"That doesn't mean you can't learn. I can teach you if you want."
"I don't know. Shooting is more your thing."
"I'd be happy to teach you if you want."
"Maybe."
"We'll see. Let's see if I can win something."
Marisa shot at the targets and shot all 5 of them. She got a nice big stuff animal.
"This is for my new baby brother or sister."
"I'm sure he or she will love it."
They went back to the house. Marisa lay down on the couch and Zac joined her. Marisa lay in his arms as they watched a bit of TV before going to bed.
…..
Sara was now 27 weeks pregnant and she had another doctor's appointment. Callen was busy with work so he couldn't go with her so Marisa went with her.
"Thank you for coming with me," Sara spoke.
"You're welcome. I wonder what it's like to see the little baby on the screen."
"It's really nice. I hope one day you get to experience it."
"I hope so too. I would love to become a mom."
"I'm sure you'll get your chance."
"I hope so."
The doctor called them in and Sara lay down on the bed. She rolled up her shirt and the doctor fired the machine and put the wand on Sara's stomach. Marisa looked up as she heard the heartbeat.
"Wow, it's so fast," Marisa exclaimed.
"It's perfectly normal."
Marisa looked at the screen and saw the baby.
"Wow that's amazing."
"Is the baby okay?" Sara asked.
"The baby is doing fine. The baby is growing nice and big. And how are you feeling?"
"I feel fine, can't complain so far. Just some backaches and sore feet but other than that I can't complain."
"That's good. I'll see you in 3 weeks."
Sara made an appointment before they went back to the office. The case wasn't finished yet. Callen and Sam were still undercover when Sara and Marisa returned.
"Any news?" Marisa asked as they walked into OPS.
"Callen and Sam are closing in on them. It'll be a short while before we have something," Nell informed them.
"Great."
It took them another hour but the case was finished. It was past 8pm when Callen and Sam walked into the office. Sara was waiting there for him.
"Hey G," Sara greeted him.
"Hey Sara." Callen walked over to her and gave her a hug. "How was the doctor's appointment?"
"It was fine. The baby is doing very well. Here I got another picture."
Sara showed Callen the picture. Callen looked at the picture with love in his eyes. He hated that he couldn't go with her to the appointment. He was glad that the baby was doing so fine. Callen bent down and gave a kiss on Sara's stomach.
"Daddy's sorry he couldn't go with you mommy, but daddy loves you very much," Callen spoke to her stomach.
Sara smiled as she watched Callen. She had missed this when she was pregnant with Marisa. She gave Callen and kiss before they went home.
Callen drove home when suddenly there was an accident.
