'So, are you going to make an honest woman of Nell?' Gibbs asked Callen
'Yep, as soon as she'll have me' he answered 'I'd do it tomorrow if I thought Nell was up to it, but planning being a bridesmaid has really taken it out of her the last couple of weeks, I don't want her to stress that much planning our wedding, we're just going to have to do it after the kids are born' he smiled as Nell joined them and watched happily as his big brother/father figure and mentor bent and gave her a kiss on the cheek 'You certainly look radiant Nell, you let me know if G here gives you any trouble' he smiled affectionately down at her as she wound her arm around Callens waist
'Oh, I don't feel very radiant, I feel like a beach ball right about now' she laughed, she really wasn't very big considering how far along she was and that she was carrying two, but given her height and small frame, she was already feeling the pressure of the extra weight and it was making her tire a lot quicker, twice in the last week, she had fallen asleep on the sofa earlier than normal and Callen had had to wake her the first time and given up and carried her to bed the second.
'You're a very beautiful beach ball though' Callen whispered loudly to her, he pulled her to his chest and kissed the top of her head, holding her tightly as Gibbs walked away grinning leaving them to their own private little world.
'How happy are you?' Kensi asked Deeks looking up at him, they were dancing slowly and she wondered if he was going to have jaw ache the next day because he had had the biggest dopiest grin plastered across his face for hours
'I couldn't be happier than I feel right now, I don't know how I got so lucky, you always look beautiful Kens, but today you literally took my breath away, I'm never going to forget how you look right now, and I can't wait to tell our boy how much I love his mommy' He leaned closer and kissed her slowly and leisurely, only stopping when the wolf whistles from Tony caused Kensi to pull back slightly, she looked up at her new husband surprised to see his eyes full of unshed tears 'Hey, what's the matter Marty, I thought this was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives' she told him smiling softly, 'I can't explain how I feel Kens, I can't believe we're married, everytime I look at you I feel like I'm exploding, even kissing you feels more special now, I can't wait to make love to you as my wife, I want to put out a full page ad in the times telling everyone you're off the market and you're all mine, I can't believe you're mine' he leant his forehead against hers, staring deeply into her eyes, she could see into his soul and she knew he meant every word he'd said, she could see it written on his face and in his eyes, she pulled him closer and kissed him with everything she had to show him she felt exactly the same.
'Are you having a good time?' Eric asked Sarah, they'd danced a few times and were now sitting closely together watching the others fool around on the dance floor, 'It's been a beautiful day, I've loved every second of it, you look kinda hot all dressed up like that' she laughed watching the blush creep over Erics face 'I feel like it's strangling me, I can't wait to get out of it'' he replied pulling at the knot of his tie. Sarah took his hand in hers and kissed his cheek 'I can't wait to get you out of it either' she whispered
Hetty and Gibbs were sitting at one of the tables watching their respective agents having a good time 'It really doesn't affect the office dynamics?' Gibbs asked seriously, Hetty pursed her lips and thought deeply, considering her words before speaking 'How could it Jethro, each member of my team was hand picked with a specific purpose in mind, each of them have their own set of skills but rely on a partner to cover all aspects of a case, to do so they have to become best friends and have implicit trust in each other, that is also the foundation to a loving relationship, nobody deserves to be alone Jethro or live by rules, I do believe should you abandon rule twelve, you may witness that for yourself' she nodded her head at the dance floor, causing Gibbs to look over at both Tony and Ziva, and Abby and Tim dancing closely together 'You may be right Henrietta, you may just be right'
Callen returned from fetching Nell a drink to catch her hiding a yawn behind her hand, he tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and pulled her onto his lap, kissing her temple and holding his hands loosely over and around her tummy, he caught Nell's hand and held it between his own hand and her tummy, his other hand making soft circular motions over his unborn children 'Do you want to call it a day munchkin?' he asked, she laid her head onto his shoulder before replying 'Not just yet but soon if that's ok with you' 'That's fine with me, you look shattered, still the most beautiful woman in the room but you do look tired Nell, they'll be leaving soon, then how about home, a nice warm bath then a good nights sleep?' Nell could only yawn in response.
Deeks turned the music down and tapped his glass to get everyone's attention
'As much as I have enjoyed your company on our special day, I would quite like to spend some time with my wife now, but before we go, I just want to say again how much we appreciate you all in our lives, every single one of you, thank you so much'
There were tears unshed in both Deeks' eyes as they said goodbye to their family, they received and gave hand shakes, kisses and hugs to everyone before Marty helped Kensi into the passenger seat and with one last wave and shouts of bye, he drove off
Kensi leant over and kissed him 'Where are we going Mr Deeks?' she asked excitedly
He grinned back at her 'That Mrs Deeks is a surprise, you'll just have to wait and see'
