DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to the NCIS:LA characters, I"m just borrowing them.

"Please be careful out there tonight." Katy said to Callen as the teams got ready for the evenings operation.

"Katy, I don't foresee any problems. I'm sure it's going to go off without a problem." He told her.

"Still, you're worried about something happening to the baby and I. I'm worried about you." She said.

Callen put the magazine he was loading down and turned to her. "Katy, I promise you that nothing is going to happen to me."

She wrapped her arms around his neck, her belly preventing her from getting as close as she wanted. "I hope you're right."

Callen kissed her. "I think you're worrying for nothing. Ivan and Yegor said she had no weapons."

When it was time for the teams to leave the mission, Katy wandered up to Ops and took her usual spot. Hetty was due in Ops at any moment. Nell and Eric were making sure the button cams and earwigs were working properly. Katy rubbed her belly as the baby kicked furiously.

"It's okay little man, I'm sure Daddy and the others will be fine." She told her son.

Twenty minutes later, the teams were getting themselves into position. Callen was seated at a table near the middle of the restaurant, Sam at a table in the corner. Everyone was ready and waiting for the three to arrive. Katy watched and listened intently to the button cams and chatter over the coms on her laptop. Hetty walked in and gave Katy a concerned look.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"I'm just a little worried." Katy told her.

"I doubt anything will go wrong." She told her.

"I hope you're right." Katy sighed.

"They're here." Kensi said over the coms.

"How long are we going to let them sit there before we take them?" Mike asked.

"As soon as they're seated and they're sitting there alone." Callen told him.

Since Svetlana had seen Mike before, he was kept out of the main dining room and was sitting in the main security office watching the screens with the head of security for the restaurant. "The host is seating them now."

The host seated them and handed them menus, then walked away. None of the three of them looked around. Callen gave the signal and the agents made their way through the dining room to the table.

"Svetlana Larionov, Yegor Larionov and Ivan Leshev, you're under arrest." Callen said, pulling Svetlana to her feet.

"What is this about?" she said.

"What did you do Lana?" Ivan asked, acting panicked.

"It wasn't me." She claimed. "What did you do?"

"Enough, both of you, we'll explain everything in a minute." Sam told them.

The three were led out of the restaurant in flex-cuffs and to three separate vehicles. Ivan and Yegor sat silent in their vehicles. Svetlana ranted and raved about the injustice, claiming she'd done nothing wrong and that whatever got them arrested had to be something the other two did. Katy laughed as she listened to her going on and on about her innocence.

When they got to the boatshed, the three were taken to separate interrogation rooms. Ivan and Yegor once again sat patiently, Svetlana continued her rant. Cass, Jason and Sam walked in and tossed the thick file on the table. She looked at it, shut her mouth and sat down.

"That's not all about me, is it?" She asked.

"As a matter of fact it is." Sam said and opened it.

"I didn't do anything." She insisted.

"Well, this file begs to differ. So why don't you come clean now before we go page by page telling you everything we have on you." Cass said.

"I want to hear what you think you have on me." Svetlana said smugly and crossed her arms over her chest as she sat back.

"If that's how you want to play the game, that's how we'll play it. Let's start with the attempted kidnapping of two federal agents in a Los Angeles grocery store. Then there is the kidnapping's of Anastasiya Pushkaryov and her fiancé Father Reginald Rocco in San Francisco, Sergi Pavlenko in New Jersey, Daria Aristov in Colorado, Makhail Yukurov in Oregon and Nataly Grekov in Pennsylvania. Oh and we can't forget about the murders of Irina and Ksenia Guryev and Sasha and Sveta Osintsev in Alaska, Lena and Lera Kirkin in Virginia, Natasha and Liza Markin in Colorado, Veronika and Dominika Yazov in New York, Yana and Lilya Fetisov in Missouri, Renata and Tatyana Shchepkin in Massachusetts and Anka and Alina Berezin here in California."

"You can't prove any of that was me." Svetlana said with a smile as she pushed the file away from her.

"Oh but we can. We have financial records and phone records, what more do we need." Cass smiled and pushed the file back at her.

"Phone records, impossible, I was using a pre-paid phone. They're untraceable." She said.

Sam pulled out the original phone in a plastic evidence bag and dropped it on the table. "This is your phone, the one you're currently using was given a virus that allowed us to track your every move. Every call you made was recorded, every text message you sent was sent to our systems."

"That's against the law." She screamed and slammed her fists on the table.

"We are the law." Cass yelled, mimicking her actions and slamming her fists on the table too.

"Did you know that one of those women you tried to kidnap might actually be your brother-in-law's child and not your husband's?"

"What?" She gasped. "Who?"

"Don't worry, a paternity test is being done to determine who her father truly is." Sam told her.

"Ivan will kill me if it's true." She said. "What are Ivan and Yegor telling you?"

"We've already talked to both of them. Neither claims to know or have any involvement with you in these matters. Is that true, did you act alone in this?" Sam asked.

She sat there silent. After fifteen minutes, she finally spoke. "It's true, they knew nothing about any of it."

Callen dialed Ops, "Nell can you arrange transportation for Mrs. Larionov, she just came clean on everything."

Once Svetlana was taken away, Ivan and Yegor were pulled from their interrogation rooms. Katy had driven over to meet Callen so they could just head home afterwards. Ivan and Yegor were standing in the outer room talking with Callen and the others when she walked in. All eyes were on her.

"Your ultrasound was today, is it boy or girl?" Ivan asked.

"It's a boy." Katy smiled, rubbing her belly.

"Very good, congratulations." He said with open arms, leaning in to give her a hug.

Katy hesitated at first, but looked to Callen; he nodded. She walked into his arms, he closed them around her. At first, Katy didn't know if she should return the gesture. When she wrapped her arms around him, it felt so right.

"You look so much like your mother." He said and kissed her cheek. "I hope you're my daughter."

Katy pulled away and saw the honestly in his eyes. "I don't know, the last two years I thought Dmitri was my father and for thirty some odd years before that, I thought my father committed suicide after my mother died during child birth."

Ivan caressed her cheek. "You had a horrible life, didn't you?" he asked.

Katy walked away, trying to control her emotions. "You have no idea what it was like."

"I'd like to know." He said. "I want to be a part of your life, make up for the thirty-seven and a half years I missed. I want a relationship with the daughter I wanted so badly."

"What if I'm Dmitri's daughter?" she asked. "Do you still want a relationship with me?"

"Katya, whether or not you're mine isn't an issue, I loved your mother so very much. You are her, I want to know you regardless of who your father is. In my heart, you're mine because Polina was mine." He said.

Sam and the others said their goodbyes and left, offering them a little more privacy. Callen sat on the couch next to Katy, holding her hand while Yegor and Ivan sat in the arm chairs. It was silent for a few long minutes while Katy processed what Ivan told her. She leaned into Callen and sighed before she made eye contact with Ivan again.

"We'll need to start small. We can't expect everything overnight. Would you like to either come over for dinner or join us out for dinner one night?" Katy asked.

"I would love to. I want to know everything about my daughter and son-in-law." He said with a warm, tearful smile.

Katy nodded and wiped her tears. "Well, are you hungry?"

"Yes, very much. I'm sure you are too, being that you're eating for two." He chuckled.

"Katy's always hungry." Callen told him.

They heard the door open and close again. Hetty walked towards them. "Mr. Leshev, my name's Henrietta Lange, I'm the one who took your daughter from the orphanage in Russia and brought her here to the US."

"A pleasure to meet you, thank you for taking care of my daughter." He said standing and offering his hand.

"Unfortunately, I didn't do a very good job keeping her safe since she went through so much while in foster care." She said sullenly.

"I'm sure it's better than the life she would've had in Russia, if she survived." He told her.

"Maybe, maybe not. I heard you mentioned dinner, may I join you?" she asked looking around.

"Please." Ivan said.

The five of them went to a quiet little restaurant and sat in a back corner so they could talk. The more they talked to Ivan and Yegor, the more Katy wanted to get to know them. Ivan sat back and watched Katy eat the entire meal she ordered, including the salad and soup it came with.

"Polina was the same way when she was pregnant." He told her.

"Katy eats so much, yet she's only gained about ten pounds through the first six months of the pregnancy." Callen told him.

"Very good. So Katya what did you do after you graduated?" Ivan asked.

Katy told him about her enlistment in the Marine Corps, about Reggie and Karolina. He was distraught when Katy told him about her death. Ivan beamed when she told him about getting her degree in journalism. He told her that her mother was a wonderful writer and said he still had some of her stories that he would pass on to her. Katy was thrilled and excited to finally learn something about her mother. By the end of the night, Katy was emotionally and physically exhausted. When they dropped Ivan and Yegor off at their apartment, Katy was more than willing to give them a hug.

Ivan kissed her cheek and shook Callen's hand before he turned and walked towards the entrance to the building. He quickly turned back around and said. "I love Katya, regardless of whose child you are. Never forget that."

"Thank you." She said. "That means more than you'll ever know."

Over the next week, Katy didn't mention anything to Reggie and Ana about the possibility of Ivan being her biological father. She wanted to wait until the paternity test results came in. Cass' team stuck around for an additional week finishing up the last of the paperwork. Katy and Callen decided to have one last get together before they left; which turned out to fit perfectly into the plan for the baby shower. Michelle and Ana met at the house and decorated the back yard with blue, green and white balloons and streamers.

Hetty presented Katy with an envelope just before they headed out for the weekend. She held it in her hands and just looked at it. Hetty asked if she was going to open it and Katy told her that Ivan was going to be at the barbeque that night and she wanted to open it with him. Hetty smiled, patted her on the shoulder and said that she'd see her at the house. Katy walked back to her desk and put the envelope in her bag. Callen knew what it was, as did everyone else. They were content to wait until later that night to learn the results.

Sam called Michelle when Katy and Callen left the office. They were going to stop by the store to pick up ice and drinks before heading home, so it gave the others time to get over there and set up the big moment when they walked in. Sam stopped by and picked up Ivan and Yegor before heading over to the house. When Ivan walked in and met everyone else, he was very quiet and reserved until he met Reggie. He gave him his condolences for both Karolina and the death of his x-wife. In the next breath, he congratulated him on his engagement to his niece.

"They're here." Mary yelled and ran to the back yard.

Everyone followed her out and waited for them to walk in. Mary ran over to the presents and made sure they were perfect. Katy walked out first, with Callen a few steps behind her. "Surprise!" they all yelled.

"What that hell?" Katy asked and apologized when she saw Hetty and all of the kids. "What is this?"

"Well since Ms. Long and her team are leaving this weekend, we thought we'd throw you your baby shower while they were still here." Hetty said.

"We haven't registered for anything." Katy said.

"Don't worry, I remembered everything you guys picked out."Cass told her.

"Thank you all so much." She said as she made her way through the group with hugs. "Hello Ivan."

"Hello Katya." He said and gave her a warm hug and kissed her cheek.

"Do you want to come into the kitchen with me for a minute, I have something I want you to see." She said.

"Of course." He said and followed her into the house. "Is your husband going to join us?"

"Honey, we're going to open it." Katy said and Callen was right behind them.

Her hands shook as she took the envelope from her bag. It was even worse when tried to open it. There were two pieces of paper in the envelope. One was her DNA compared to Dmitri and the other was her and Ivan's. She took a deep breath and looked at both Ivan and Callen.

"You do it." She said and handed the papers to Callen.

He looked at both sheets and back up at Ivan and Katy. "Well, I hate to break this to you."

"No." Katy said and began crying. Ivan was at her side rubbing her back.

"You two have some catching up to do. Ninety-nine point seven percent you are father and daughter. Dmitri is close, but nowhere near as close as Ivan. Congratulations." He said and smiled as Katy hugged her father.

"My Katya, finally. I love you so much and this little baby." He said with both hands on her stomach. "And my son-in-law."

"Ivan, welcome to the family." Callen said and shook his hand before Ivan pulled him into a hug.

It was dead silent when they walked back outside, "Everyone, I'd like to introduce you all to my father, Ivan Leshev." She said with a huge smile.

"I thought Dmitri was your father?" Ana asked.

"No" Ivan said proudly. "I was engaged to Polina, Katya's mother. She'd gotten pregnant in February. We weren't sure who the father was because Dmitri raped her right after we were together. I didn't care; I told Polina I would raise the baby as my own. Then she disappeared in August and I found out she died in early November."

"I'm so happy for you, Katy." Ana said and hugged her tightly.

"So does this mean you're not my Auntie anymore?" Mary asked.

"Mary, I will always love you. Just because we aren't biologically related doesn't mean anything changes." Katy said bending as far as the baby would let her.

"Ok, good." Mary said and threw her arms around Katy's neck causing both of them to fall over.

Everyone rushed over to help Katy up. "We're fine, we're fine." Katy said scrambling to her feet.

Once everyone was assured that Katy and Mary were alright, the party went on. Michelle, Ana, Kensi and Cass brought out all of the food trays and set them out on the table in the shade. Katy was starving and it all looked so good. She and Callen were the first two through the line, followed by the kids. Katy sat under the tree, next to Callie, Polina and George's headstones. Callen gave her a kiss before he sat down next to her.

"Did you have any idea they were throwing us a baby shower?" Katy asked him.

"None, I'm just as surprised as you." He told her.

With all of the guests sitting around them, they ate, talked and laughed. It was a wonderful feeling to have her husband on one side and her father on the other. Every so often, Ivan would lean over and put his arm around her and either tell her he loved her or tell her how wonderful her friends and extended family was. After everything she'd been through in her life, Katy finally felt at peace with it all. They played a few games, which made all of the guys groan. All of them had to undress, changed the diaper and redress a baby doll blindfolded.

Reggie excluded himself from the game since he'd had plenty of practice diapering babies. Sam tried to get out of it too, but Michelle insisted. Ivan even joined in being that he's never diapered a baby before. It was absolutely hilarious watching the guys fumbling around trying to find the diapers and baby powder on the table and even more funny when they tried to dress the dolls. Mike and Callen were neck and neck, it came down to their times. Callen beat Mike by just a few tenths of a second. When he walked back over to sit with Katy, she told him she'd kill him if she ever saw the baby look like that after changing its diaper.

Mary was very eager for Katy and Callen to open the presents. Before the cake was cut, the packages were brought over to them to open. They were huge gifts. Judging by the size and dimensions of the first box, they guess it was the crib. Katy couldn't thank Cass and Mike enough for the crib. Mike even offered to come back over after the baby's room was painted to help Callen put it together. The next box was still big, but not as oddly shaped. It was the stroller, from there, the packages gradually got smaller, but not by much. When all of the gifts were opened, they had everything they'd need for the baby and then some.

Kensi and Deeks bought the stroller, Nell and Eric went in on the car seat, Sam and Michelle bought the baby's dresser, Hetty got the changing table and a rocking chair, Anthony got a diaper genie, Jason picked up the mobile and wall decorations and Reggie, Ana and the kids got a huge box of clothes, towels, bibs and everything else imaginable. Ivan pulled Katy to the side, telling her that he wanted to wait to see what they'd gotten and that he would get anything else they needed. Katy thanked him and gave him a hug.

"Just you being here and being a part of his life is going to be worth so much more than any gift you could ever buy him." She said.

"I'm so happy to hear you say that." He told her, cupped her face and kissed her forehead. "I can't believe I finally found you. Your mother would be so proud of the woman you've become and everything that you've overcome."

"There've been only a handful of people in life who've showed me I was worth more than the dirt on the soles of their shoes and they're all here today." She told him. "I wish we'd met sooner."

"Me too, Katya, me too, but we've got the rest of our lives." He said and hugged her.

"Your husband, I like him very much." He smiled. "You can tell he loves you very much."

"Yes he does." Katy said watching Callen playing with all of the kids. "He's the absolute best thing that's ever happened to me. Come here, I need to show you something.

Ivan followed Katy over to the tree and the headstones. "Who were Polina Clara and George Artur?"

"They were the twins we miscarried in December." She told him.

"Oh Katya, I'm so sorry. Are they buried here?" he asked.

"No, we put the majority of their ashes with their sister Karolina; we put the rest in tiny capsules for these necklaces; Callen wears one too. We made bears for the babies and put some of the ashes in them and the rest we put here with Callie." She said.

"Who is Callie?" he kind of laughed.

"She's our cat that was killed last year when one of the sets of twins broke into the house."

"You have been through so much together already. I hope from this day on, life is better for you."

"So do I." She said and felt Callen behind her, his hands immediately went to her belly.

"Thank you for taking such good care of my Katya." He said extending his hand to Callen.

"I can tell you it definitely tell you it hasn't been easy, Katy can be very stubborn." Callen laughed.

"Aw, I must confess, that she gets from me." Ivan said and gave a big, booming laugh.

"But it's all been worth it." He said and kissed Katy's neck.

"You will have the most beautiful baby, you're a very handsome couple." He said.

"Thank you, Ivan." Callen said.

"We should get back to your party; I think little Mary is going to put her fingers through the icing if we don't cut into the cake." Ivan laughed as he watched Mary by the cake.

"Oh, I'd pay for someone to push her head into the cake." Katy laughed.

Callen quickly removed his hands from her belly. "Go for it."

Everyone watched as Katy snuck up behind her, took some frosting from the corner of the cake and smeared it all over her face. Mary was furious until she turned around to find Katy standing there with a huge ear-to-ear grin. Mary took some of the icing off her face and tasted it before she reached over and took some off the cake and threw it at Katy. She jumped and laughed when the frosting hit her in the face. Mary took off running with Katy behind her wanting to give her a kiss. Ivan loved seeing Katy with Mary and knew; like her mother would've had she not been taken so early in life; that she was going to be a wonderful mother.

Callen chased Katy and when he caught her, licked her from her chin to the tip of her nose. Katy laughed and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him. Hetty walked over to Ivan. "They are so good together."

"Yes, they are. Do I have you to thank for this too?" he asked looking down at the tiny woman.

Hetty smiled up at him. "I'm only responsible for the introduction."

"Well thank you, for everything. Getting Katya out of Russia and keeping an eye on her over the years. I can tell she looks at you like her mother." He said.

"I would like to think that. If I'd had children of my own, I would definitely want one just like Katy. I fostered and adopted, but each and every one was very special. I even fostered Mr. Callen for a while. I knew the moment she came back into my life that she and he would be perfect for one another. I will never forget the day they got married." She said and told him about the fight they'd gotten in.

"I'm happy to hear she hasn't run away again." Ivan laughed.

"They would like me to play the part of the grandmother, would you be opposed to it?" she asked.

"I can't think of anyone else I would like to share the honor with." Ivan said and gave her a pat on her shoulder.

Hetty smiled up at him again.

Reggie took Mary in the house to get her cleaned up while Michelle and Ana cut the cake and passed it out. Within seconds, the kid's cake was gone and they were back at the table asking for more. Katy walked back out of the house from washing her face and took the piece of cake Ana held out for her. She walked back over to her seat in the shade, between Callen and Ivan. Callen laughed as he watched her inhale the cake. Once she was sure everyone had gotten a piece, she called all the kids over to the cake and cut the leftover pieces in half, giving them each a little more cake.

Mary gave her a kiss before she ran back to her seat to eat her cake. She took a couple pieces for herself and walked back to her own seat. "Good lord Katy." Callen laughed.

"I'm hungry, leave me alone." She said elbowing him.

"My grandson will be nice and fat when he comes out." Ivan laughed.

"Considering everything I eat goes right to him, he's liable to weigh ten pounds." She said.

"I hope not, I don't want to be in the delivery room with you while you try to squeeze him out." Callen said.

Once everyone was finished with the cake, Michelle and Ana packed it up and put the leftovers in the fridge for Katy. They all gathered around and talked well into the night.

"I have a question that I'm sure everyone is wondering." Ivan said.

"What is it?" Katy asked.

"What are you going to name him?" he asked and everyone agreed.

"I don't know," Katy said looking at Callen. "We really haven't had a chance to talk about it, we've been kind busy since we found out what we're having."

"Can we make suggestions?" Sam asked.

"What are we going to put all the names in a hat and whichever we pull out that's what we name the baby?" Callen laughed.

"It's a thought." Sam laughed.

"I was thinking Henry." Katy said.

"Henry?" Callen asked and repeated it a few more times. "Where did you get that from?"

"Well, we can't really call him Henrietta." She smiled and looked at Hetty.

Hetty put her hand to her chest and bowed her head. "You don't need to name the baby after me; you need to pick something that speaks to you."

"I like it. What about his middle name?" Callen asked.

Katy looked around at all of the faces staring back at her. There were so many names to choose from, "We could do Sam, Martin, McKenzie, Eric, Ivan, Reginald. All are good strong names of people who mean something to us."

"Henry Ivan Callen." Callen said out loud. "Henry Samuel Callen. Henry Martin Callen. Henry McKenzie Callen, Henry Eric Callen, Henry Reginald Callen. I don't know, they all sound good.

"Don't forget Michael, Jason and Anthony." Mike added.

"Oh Leroy or Jethro." Sam said.

"Okay, stop." Katy laughed.

"What does the G stand for, Callen?" Ivan asked and everyone got quiet.

"Actually, Ivan I don't know. Hopefully someday we will find out, but for now it's just G." he said.

"I'm sorry." He said with a painful look in his eyes. "I had no idea."

"Please, it's alright." Callen assured him.

"I think Henry Reginald and Henry McKenzie are too stuffy." Katy laughed trying to lighten the mood.

Both Kensi and Reggie started complaining. "Too stuffy?" Kensi shouted over Reggie.

"I'm joking." Katy laughed.

"We've still got three months to figure it out." Callen said, trying to calm them down.

They laughed and talked late into the evening. As everyone was leaving, Katy and Callen asked Ivan and Yegor to stay the night since they had the extra rooms. Ivan agreed, but Yegor had plans for the next day, so Kensi and Deeks dropped him off at the apartment on their way to Deeks' house. Hungry again, Katy stood in front of the refrigerator trying to figure out what she wanted. Callen and Ivan were sitting at the island just watching her.

"Get the cake; you know you want more of it." Callen said.

Katy turned around and stuck her tongue out at him. "I think you're just saying that because you want more."

Callen got up and got the cake out. "Ivan, do you want another piece?"

"Sure." Ivan said and got up looking for the forks.

"The drawer on the left." Katy told him.

The three of them sat at the island for at least two hours. When they finally decided to call it a night, they looked down at the empty cake box. "Good Lord, did we eat it all?" Katy asked.

"I think we did." Callen laughed.

"It was a good cake." Ivan said with a smile.

Katy and Callen talked for a while before falling asleep. "How are you doing with all of this new information?" he asked.

Katy was nestled close to him with her head on his chest. "I don't know, I think it's going to take a while for it all to sink in. I went from my father dying after my birth to my father wanting to kill me to my father being alive and well and wanting to love me. Wanting to be a part of our lives; the baby's life."

"At least he'll have a grandmother and grandfather." Callen said kissing the top of her head.

"I know, it makes me happy, but I'm worried something's going to happen and it's all going to go to hell again." She sighed.

"You can't think like that." He said pulling her chin so she would look at him. "Stop being so pessimistic, besides, if anything happens we can get through it."

"I know you're right. I'm worried I'm going to lose Ivan before I get to know him." She said.

"Now that he's found you and you're pregnant, he's not going anywhere. I don't think Yegor will either." He said.

There was silence in the room, Katy had fallen asleep. Callen reached over and turned off the lamp next to him and cuddled closer to Katy. Little Boy and Little Girl were cuddled together at the foot of the bed. Within minutes, Callen had drifted off to sleep.

Katy woke to the most wonderful smells wafting through the crack under the door. Callen rolled over at the same time. Wondering if Katy was making breakfast, but she was lying next to him. They heard the oven door open, something was either put in or taken out and the oven closed again. Katy pulled herself out of bed, grabbed her robe and followed Callen out to the kitchen. There were several plates of pastries set out on the island along with flour, a mixing bowl, the carton of eggs and several other smaller bottles.

"Good morning." Ivan said cheerfully. "I'm sorry if I was too noisy and woke you up."

"What is that smell?" Katy asked.

Ivan frowned, "You don't like it?"

"No, it's the most wonderful thing next to the smell of bacon and coffee that I've ever woken up to." She smiled.

"Did you make all of these?" Callen asked looking at the pastries.

"Every last one of them." He smiled. "It's the least I could do since I never got to make my daughter breakfast when she was a child."

"Thank you Ivan." Katy said hugging him. Little Boy and Little Girl wandered out and meowed at their feet, almost as if they were waiting for an introduction.

"Oh my goodness, it's the Ying and the Yang." He said reaching down and picking up both cats.

Katy was surprised when both cats began head-bunting and rubbing the sides of their faces on him; trying to mark him. "I've only ever seen them do that with us."

"I love cats. How old are they?" he asked.

"Oh wow, I've lost track. We got them in what February or March?" Katy said.

"What did you name them?" Ivan asked.

"We actually couldn't come up with a good name, so we call them Little Boy and Little Girl." Callen told him.

"No, no, no they need names. Don't you little ones." He said loving the attention they were giving him. "What names do you like babies? Ying and Yang?"

The cats meowed again. Katy decided to test it out. "Ying, Yang come here babies."

The cats instantly hopped out of Ivan's arms and walked across the island to her. "I think they like the names." Callen said.

"You like the names Papa gave you?" Katy asked scratching under their chins.

"Sit and eat while they're still warm, that's when they're the best." Ivan told them getting two small plated from the cabinet.

Katy took her first bite and thought she'd died and gone to heaven. It was buttery and flakey and it melted in her mouth. "Ivan, this is so good. Where did you learn to make these?"

"I studied at the culinary school in France, pastries and cakes are my specialty." He told her.

"These are so good. You should open a shop here in town, nothing here even compares to this." Callen raved.

"I'm working on it; I've been working three days a week at the coffee shop you came to talk to me at the other day." He told them. "The owner wants to open another shop and I've offered to run it for him. It would be all of my pastries and cakes. I would be busy, but I'd always make time for you two and the baby."

"Where are they looking at opening the shop?" Katy asked.

"Believe it or not, around here." Ivan smiled.

"Well, I'd be there every morning to pick up some of your confections for everyone in the office." Katy told him.

"You would get whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted them for no charge." He smiled.

"No, I couldn't let you do that, you'd go bankrupt. I would be in there three for four times a day." Katy laughed.

"The photos in the living room, who took them?" Ivan asked.

"Katy did." Callen said with his mouth full. "She's got thousands of pictures on a hard drive. She took all of those when we first met. We were on our way down to Sam's house in San Diego and stopped along the way so Katy could play with her new camera."

"You've got your mother's eye. She was a fantastic photographer." He said. "I still have many of her photos, I'll bring them over."

"I'd love to see them." Katy said with a huge smile.

"You are so like your mother, Katya. I wish you could've known her." Ivan said in a sullen tone.

"I do too." Katy sighed.

"Tell me about your family, Callen." Ivan asked.

Callen told him everything he knew about his grandfather, mother and everything else he could recall about his childhood. Ivan was saddened by the similarities in Katy and Callen's backgrounds and saw what Hetty was talking about when she said they were perfect for one another. They watched Ivan make a few more batches of sweet rolls and other pastries while they talked. He even showed Katy how to roll out and twist the dough so that maybe one day when she was tired of working for NCIS, she could work with him at the bakery; he hoped.

At noon, the doorbell rang and then burst open. "It smells so good in here." Mary said.

"Have one." Ivan offered.

"Go ahead, they're so good. These are still warm." Katy told her.

Reggie, Ana and the other two kids followed her into the kitchen. Ivan got out more plates and offered all of them some pastries. Everyone loved them. Within an hour, there wasn't so much as a crumb left on the plates. Ivan sat back happy as a clam that everyone loved them. The rest of the afternoon was spent out in the backyard with the kids playing in the pool. Katy had pulled some chicken out for dinner and had it in some marinade.

Katy loved the look on Ivan's face when Little Reggie, Cassi or Mary interacted with him. He loved having them around and they loved having him around since they didn't have grandparents. All around, it was a win-win situation for everyone involved. Ana even relaxed a little around him as the day passed and they talked more than anyone expected them to. Callen started the grill at four thirty while Katy was getting everything ready for dinner. She was wrapping ears of corn in foil after smothering them in butter, onion powder, garlic powder and seasoning salt.

Ivan came in and asked if she needed any help and was a little discouraged when she told him she had everything under control. He sat at the island talking with her, watching her. She was her mother in every sense; from the eye for photography to the way she moved. He wished once again that they'd been able to know one another. Katy stopped when she was Ivan was lost in thought and walked around the island to stand next to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and asked if he was alright. He broke down and cried, Katy held her father and listened to him apologize over and over about how she grew up.

Callen came in to get the chicken and saw them. He stood back and felt a pain of jealousy that Katy found her father, but she was happy for her at the same time. As soon as Ivan noticed Callen standing there, he called him over and patted him on the back. He told him how much he thought of him and how happy it made him to see Katy so happy. Callen thanked him and was pulled into an awkward hug. He smiled at Katy over Ivan's shoulder and finally returned the hug. Katy loved seeing Callen and Ivan get a long and prayed nothing changed that.

As the weeks passed, Ivan and Yegor became permanent fixtures at the house. Katy would call at lunch to see what they were doing for dinner. Half the time, Katy would plan on cooking when they got home, but more often than not Ivan and Yegor already had it cooked. On one evening in particular, Callen and Katy knew that Ivan and Yegor were going to be over for dinner and had planned on going out. They walked into the house to find it smelled like paint.

"They're here." Katy heard Ivan say.

"I'll clean-up, go get them." Yegor said.

Ivan appeared in the hallway outside the baby's room. "Hello how was your day?"

"It was very long," Katy said giving him a hug. "What are you two doing here; I thought we were going to pick you up?"

"We wanted to do something for you, well for the baby." He smiled and pulled them both by the hands to the baby's room. "It's not completely finished; Ana let us in this morning."

"What did you do?" Katy asked.

"Go look." Ivan told them.

Katy was blown away. The same block prints on the baby's bedding was painted on the wall. "Oh my God, how? Is that wall paper?"

"Yegor is a painter." Ivan beamed.

"Ivan, Yegor it's perfect." Callen said shaking their hands and hugging both men.

"It's for you my Darling." He told Katy.

"I'm speechless, it's…thank you so much." She said with tears in her eyes.

"We can't thank you two enough." Callen said.

"It's our pleasure." Yegor said.

Katy just stood there shaking her head. Every line was perfectly straight and the colors were exact matches. It was perfect. "We'll put his crib on this wall." She said backing more to the center of the room.

"We will help Callen set everything up." Yegor promised.

"I can't wait to show everyone. I can't wait to bring him home." She cried rubbing her now seven month belly.

"Just let us get cleaned up and we'll be ready for dinner." Ivan said nodding to Yegor and kissed Katy on the cheek as they left the room.

"Callen? Can you believe this?" She asked.

He shook his head and smiled. "Your father is a wonderful man."

Katy wrapped her arms around Callen and moved her belly to the side, getting as close to him as she could. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said and kissed her. "Why don't you go change into something a little more comfortable?"

"Alright Honey." She said and kissed him again before she left the room.

Callen stood there looking at the paintings on the wall. Yegor walked back in the room wearing a fresh shirt and slacks. "Do you think she really likes it?"

"She loves it." Callen said shaking his hand. "Really, thank you so much for this. It means a lot to the both of us."

"Good, I'm happy."

Katy sat at her desk showing Kensi and Deeks the pictures she'd taken of the paintings Ivan and Yegor did. "I don't know how they did it, but it's perfect."

"That's so neat." Deeks said taking one of the pictures.

"I'm so happy you and your father are getting along so well." Kensi said.

"I am too; the best part is that Callen and Ivan like each other." She smiled. "It's so hard not to call him Dad."

"Why don't you?" Kensi asked.

"It's only been a month; don't you think it's too soon?"

"If you want to call Ivan Dad, do it." Callen said as he walked into the bullpen.

"You don't think he'd mind?"

Callen walked over and sat on her desk. "Honestly, I think he would be the happiest man in the world if you did."

"I thought you were the happiest man in the world?"

"I am." He smiled and kissed her. "Ok, he'd be the second happiest man in the world. I've been thinking about the baby's middle name. I think we should name him Henry Ivan."

"Really?" Katy asked on the verge of tears. "That would mean so much to him."

"Then Henry Ivan it is." Callen declared.

"Finally the baby has a name!" Kensi shouted.

Sam came running over from Hetty's desk. "Did they finally pick a name?"

"Yes they did." Kensi beamed.

"Well Mr. and Mrs. Callen, what is it?" Hetty asked.

"Henry Ivan Callen." He said.

Hetty smiled. "Very nice. A good strong name."

"Oh, we forgot to tell you guys that the cats have names too. They're no longer Little Boy and Little Girl." Katy laughed.

"It's about damn time, you have them what six months?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, something like that. The girl is Ying and the boy is Yang." Katy said.

"That's cute. Who finally came up with the name?" Kensi asked.

"My father. He said they were like the Ying and the Yang, they responded to it immediately."

Just then, Eric whistled from the landing. Katy groaned at the thought of climbing the stairs. Callen helped her out of the chair and walked behind her up the stairs in the event she fell backwards. He thought it was funny that she was no longer able to see her feet unless she was sitting and they were stretched out in front of her. Every time he teased her about it, she punched him in the arm. When they got up to Ops, Callen got her an extra rolling chair and rolled her over for the briefing.

"Hey Katy, how are you doing?" Nell asked when she saw how tired Katy looked.

"I can't wait to go home and go to bed." She laughed.

"I'm sorry." She said rubbing her back.

"Ms. Jones, go ahead." Hetty said as she walked into Ops.

"Alright, here we go. This is Gunnery Sergeant Walter Stevens, he works Intel at Pendleton. His wife called the command at midnight when he never came home from work. They scoured the camp looking for him thinking he may have been dealing with an issue that started at the barracks over the weekend. When he didn't show up for work this morning and he still hadn't been home when they contacted his wife this morning, they decided to call PMO, who called the NCIS office on base who in turn called us."

"It's a missing persons' case, why do we have it?" Deeks asked.

"Since he is Intel; they're worried about sensitive information with regards to several on-going operations being leaked. We are still trying to find out exactly what it is he's working on, but we've been stymied at every turn in trying to learn more about it. Even Granger and Director Vance are getting the run around from the Sec. Nav."

"What happened over the weekend at the barracks?" Callen asked.

"Apparently one of the Sergeants had an affair and his wife kicked him out of the house when she found out. Well, the woman he was having the affair with went to the barracks a started a scene."

Katy laughed, "What kind of scene are we talking about?"

"She basically threatened to kill him, his wife and their children if he didn't leave them for her." Nell told her.

"Wow." Kensi said.

"When PMO arrested her and searched her vehicle, they found several pistols, and the makings for several bombs. The Gunnery Sergeant went to the barracks to make sure everything was squashed and start writing the report for the incident."

"Did Stevens have any contact with the jilted ex-lover?" Sam asked.

"He did, he was the only thing standing between her and the Sergeant she was threatening."

"Did anyone happen to hear her making any kinds of threats towards the Gunnery Sergeant?" Callen asked.

Nell smiled. "Oh yes everyone in the barracks complex heard her screaming and yelling that she was going to kill him if he didn't get out of her way. There are over a hundred witnesses who came forward to give their statements."

"Was he well liked by the junior Marines?" Katy asked.

"They all described him as firm but fair." Nell said. "Everyone the field office has talked to so far really liked him."

"So no one had a beef with him at the time he disappeared?" Katy asked.

"No, not that anyone's talking about."

"Have you checked his financial records?" Sam asked.

"We have and there is nothing out of the ordinary. His wife can vouch for every purchase and deposit. There have been no transactions made by his debit or credit card since Saturday when he stopped to get gas on the way to the barracks."

"When was the last time his wife talked to him?" Kensi asked.

"She said he came home Saturday night after the incident and left again Sunday morning, but he didn't say where he was going. His wife said it wasn't unusual for him to leave without telling her where he was going. He did return later that evening and left earlier than normal Monday morning for work. He was not scheduled for PT that morning."

"Alright Kensi, Deeks go talk to Mrs. Stevens. Sam and I will go talk to the command." Callen said.

"See you later." Katy said as he turned to her.

"Why don't you call the Sergeants wife, she if she knows anything and let me know." He said before he kissed her and walked out.

Katy called the Sergeant's wife and asked her all of the usual questions. She claimed not to know anything about the Gunny's disappearance, but something told Katy she wasn't being completely honest about something. While Nell and Eric were busy following several other leads, Katy checked into the wife's financial records and found something very interesting. Callen and Sam still hadn't fought their way through traffic to the base, so he was very frustrated and short with her on the phone. That was until Katy told him that she found a very large sum of money had been transferred to the Sergeant's wife's personal bank account from the account of the jilted loved.

"You're joking?" Callen laughed. "The girlfriend paid the wife? How much?"

"Twenty thousand dollars." She said.

"That's a lot of money. Call her back; let's see what she has to say about it." He suggested and hung up.

Of course when Katy called the Sergeant's wife back, she denied the transfer ever happened. Katy read her the account number and the date of the transaction. The other end of the conversation fell silent. Katy informed her that an agent from the field office on base would be paying her a visit within the next couple house. With that, the woman sang her heart out. She admitted that she and the so-called jilted lover were friends. The Sergeant and the other woman were in fact having an affair. However, the payment was made to keep the wife from going to her command with the information. Katy shook her head. Katy called Callen back and suggested some one of the four of them pays the jilted lover a visit in the brig. Instead, he handed it over to the office on base.

By the time six o'clock rolled around, none of the others were back yet. Callen called Katy and told her to go on home instead of waiting since he was going to be at least another hour there on base and who knew how long they'd sit in traffic. She agreed and hobbled down the stairs and packed her bag.

"Hey Katy, do you want Eric and I to come over and keep you company until Callen gets home?" Nell asked.

"Oh no, you guys don't have to. I'm just going to go home, have dinner and then go to bed." Katy smiled weakly.

"I like having you in Ops during cases, but I miss you out in the field." She said.

"Well thank you." Katy smiled and headed towards the door.

Katy saw Ivan's car in front of the house when she pulled up and smiled to herself. She pushed the car door open and pulled herself out of the driver's seat. Katy smelled dinner when she opened the door. "Katya, where have you been, I've been so worried."

"I'm sorry Dad, we got a case. Callen's still at the base investigating, I have no idea when he's going to be home." She said wrapping her arms around him.

"You're so tired. Go change and come back out dinner's ready." He smiled as she slowly walked through the kitchen to the bedroom.

"I hope dinner's not ruined since it sat so long." She yelled from the bedroom.

"No no, it's fine." Ivan said pulling two plates from the cabinet.

"I can't thank you enough for making dinner tonight. I was just going to come home and make myself a few sandwiches." She said when she walked out of the bedroom in her usual tank top and shorts.

"A few sandwiches?" Ivan laughed.

"Ok, half a dozen or more." Katy admitted.

"How is the baby today?" Ivan asked rubbing her belly after he set a plate in front of her.

"He's good. We finally settled on a name." she smiled.

"Oh and what is it?" he asked.

"We're honoring both of his grandparents." She smiled. "He will be Henry Ivan Callen."

Ivan's eyes watered. "Katya, thank you."

"You're very welcome Dad." She said waiting to see his reaction. Twice in the ten minutes she'd been home, she'd called him Dad.

"Dad, you called me Dad." He cheered and did a little dance.

Katy couldn't help it, with the long day she had, she started crying. "It feels right, doesn't it?"

"Yes my Dear Katya it does." He smiled and pulled her to him.

Ivan joined her at the island and the two ate. Katy was so hungry, but with the baby getting as big as he was, it limited how much she could eat in one sitting. Ivan understood and wrapped the plate in a plastic wrap so she could pick at it when she wanted. Katy sat and watched as he cleaned up then the two of them went out to the back yard to wait for Callen to get home. At nine-thirty, Katy heard Kensi's Cadillac pull up out front, she tried in vain to pull herself up so she could meet him at the door, but she didn't have the strength to do it on her own. Ivan pulled her to her feet and she met Callen in the doorway to the back yard.

"Hey honey, are you hungry?" Katy asked, but Ivan was already pulling out all of the containers to make him a plate.

"Yes, very." He said and kissed her. "Hey Ivan, thank you for keeping Katy company and for making dinner I see."

"Anything for you two." He smiled. "Well three once little Henry is born."

"How did it go at the base?" Katy asked.

Callen shook his head and walked to the refrigerator for a beer. "We've got no more now than when we left this morning. I did hear back from the Agent who went to see the 'Jilted Lover' in the brig and she confessed to trying to pay off the wife. Other than that, there's nothing new."

"I'm sorry, hopefully we'll get a break tomorrow." She said wrapping her arms around his neck as he ate.

"I do too; I miss you out in the field. I feel like we're lost without you out there." He said.

"Nell said pretty much the same thing to me tonight before I came home." Katy told him.

"You'd be a horrible analyst." He laughed. "I like you better with a gun."

"Well thank you, that's one of the sweetest, craziest things anyone's ever told me." She said and kissed him.

"Since Callen's home, I'll head back to my apartment. Let you two have some time together." Ivan said getting his hat and jacket.

"No Ivan, you don't have to go." Callen said as he stumbled off the bar stool into the dining room.

"I don't want to intrude on your personal time." Ivan said.

"Dad, please stay." Katy asked with a smile.

"How could I refuse that smile and again you call me Dad." He smiled and tossed his hat and jacket on the back of one of the chairs in the dining room.
