Kensi awoke before her husband that morning and smiled. She untangled herself from Deeks lifeless, sleeping form to take a shower. When she finished her shower Deeks was sitting on the end of the bed watching her.
"Good morning Shaggy." She greeted him with a smile.
"Morning." He said running a hand down his face, trying to erase some of the existing sleepiness. "Why didn't you stay in bed with me? Or better yet why didn't you wake me so we could shower together?" He asked as she pulled her shirt over her head.
"You looked tired and I didn't want to disturb you." Kensi stated. She walked over to him and placed a simple loving kiss on his cheek before turning to walk out of their room. Deeks caught her hand as she passed and pulled her back towards him.
"I didn't get my proper good morning kiss from you." Deeks accused.
"How about I fix that." She suggested and pushed him back so he was laying on the bed before climbing atop him. She kissed him on the nose before joining their lips together for a hot kiss. Deeks hands found hers and intertwined their fingers at their sides. He rolled over pinning her to the bed and bringing their hands to rest above her head. Effectively hovering over her, Kensi broke away from him and chuckled.
"How was that for a morning kiss?" She questioned.
"Amazing but I think you could do better." He whispered ducking down to kiss her neck. Kensi moved her neck to give him better access and brought their hands back down making Deeks fall against her. He stopped kissing her to push himself back up so he didn't crush her but was stopped when she wrapped her long legs around his waist, holding him there. He smiled at her before joining their lips back together.
"It's a shame you're already showered and clothed." He mumbled against her lips, bringing his hand to rest at the top of her skinny jeans.
"Don't you dare! This is not turning into sex." She warned as his fingers found the button to her jeans.
"What happens if I do?" He asked with a smirk while undoing her jeans.
"There will be no sex for you mister." She said pulling his hands away from her body. He pulled her into another searing kiss to distract her, but ended up on the losing end when she rolled out from under him and ran out of their room. He groaned and flopped back down on the bed, face burried in the mattress. Kensi walked into Ryland's room to wake him for the day.
"Little Prince its time to wake up." She said joining him on his bed. Ryland rolled over and snuggled against his mom, never opening his eyes.
"Wakey, Wakey, Wakey." She said walking two fingers up the side of his tummy. Ryland giggled just a little and opened his beautiful blue eyes.
"Good morning baby."
"Hi momma." He answered sitting up, when he stretched his sleep shirt rose just a little and left a perfect oportunity for Kensi to poke his tummy.
"Hey!" He said pulling his shirt down, looking at his mom.
"Let's get you dressed so you can go bug daddy while I wake Niko up." She said pulling him out of bed and helping him dress for the day. Kensi sent him off to her room while she went to Niko's room. Niko was already awake when she walked in. He was wrapped up in his blankets staring at his sea turtle Crush.
"Morning my little monkey boy." She greeted from the door, before walking over to his bed.
"Mom have you ever seen a sea turtle?" He asked shoving Crush at her.
"Yes, how come?" She asked.
"I want to see one a real one not just a picture or a stuffed animal but a real one." He told her.
"Well I think that can be arranged for today, we will have to ask your daddy though." She said.
"Really I can see a real sea turtle today?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yeah I think you can." She said watching his eyes brighten and a smile take over his face.
"Let's go ask daddy." He said jumping up from bed.
"Hold up there little man, how about we get dressed first." She suggested since he was only in his briefs.
"No I wanna ask daddy first please." He begged.
"Alright." She agreed and followed him to her room. Deeks was still laying in the same position she left him in except he had a Ryland sitting on his back.
"Mommy, daddy won't move." Ryland said bouncing on his back.
"Maybe daddy is asleep." She suggested. Kensi walked over to her husband who was oblivious to what was about to happen and pinched his side just above his hip bone.
"Arraaahhh" He shouted and jumped up causing Ryland to fall off into his moms quick hands. The boys and Kensi were laughing at Deeks who was now on his back glaring at Kensi. Niko jumped on the bed and sat ontop of his dads chest, looking at him intensely.
"Good morning bud, how are yo-"
"Can we go see the sea turtles today?" Niko asked cutting his dad off mid sentence. Deeks looked at Kensi for confirmation before respondong to his son.
"You don't want to see any turtles do you?" He asked.
"Yes daddy." He said excitedly nodding his head up and down.
"Well I suppose we can go and see a sea turtle." Deeks said slowly. Niko threw himself at his dad and hugged him tight.
"Ohh morning daddy" he said with a laugh remembering to greet his dad.
"Morning bud." Deeks said laughing as well and hugging Niko. Kensi got on the bed with Ryland in her arms and leaned back against the headboard.
"Good morning Ryland. How did you sleep?" Deeks asked turning his head to look at his son who was on Kensi's lap.
"I sleepded good." He said. Deeks carefully crawled up the bed to sit beside Kensi.
"So where are we going to see these turtles at today?" He asked.
"There is an aquarium that has sea turtles, I thought we could go to."
"Sounds good I will look up what time the open." Deeks said as Niko crawled away from him to Kensi. "Where are you going?"
"I want mommy." Niko said crawling in her lap as well. Kensi smiled at Niko and welcomed him into her arm, that wasn't occupied by Ryland. Kensi shot Deeks an apologetic look while he pouted. Ryland moved away from her arm and went to his dad.
"Hi daddy." Ryland said making himself comfortable.
"Hi Ry." Deeks said back pulling Ryland closer and holding him.
"Do you want to go see fishies and turtles today?" Deeks asked Ryland who was lounging on his chest.
"Yes, but I wants to go surfin." Ryland said.
"Maybe when we get back mommy will let me take you surfing." Deeks suggested. Kensi had to laugh as both her son and husband gave her the same exact puppy eyes and begged.
"I guess you can go." She agreed watching the excitment on their faces.
"Niko do you want to go with and learn to surf to?" Deeks asked his oldest son who never mentioned wanting to surf.
"No I don't want to, I will stay with mommy." He decided.
"It's fun Niko yous should come." Ryland tried to get his brother to come.
"No." He said shaking his head back and forth.
"But Niko." Ryland started when his mom cut him off.
"If he doesn't want to go we won't push him. You can go with daddy and have fun." Kensi said softly putting a hand on his head, watching Ryland's face fall.
"I want you to watch me mommy." Ryland said explaining why he was upset.
"Okay we will talk about this later." Kensi said dropping the conversation before a war broke out. Ryland slumped back down against his dads chest and closed his eyes.
"The aquarium opens at 10:00, that is in half an hour."
"Do you want to go now or wait until after lunch?" Kensi asked.
"Now." Niko said excitedly.
"How about we get ready now and we can get a brunch at IHop, before going." Deeks said.
"Alright let's go get you ready mister Niko." Kensi said getting up from the bed, leaving the room.
"Daddy I want mommy to come watch mees surf." Ryland said sadly to his dad.
"I know, let me talk to her and see what I can do." Deeks told him.
"Mkay."
"Let's go fix your hair and get your shoes on." He said carrying Ryland into the bathroom. After Ryland had a Mohawk and had his shoes on Deeks got ready.
Alright boys when we get in here don't pound on the glass or do anything to make the fishies mad." Kensi ran over the rules even though she knew they wouldn't have a problem. They walked up to the big building and stood in line waiting to buy tickets to enter. The boys were fascinated with all of the little fish they saw before getting to the big fish.
"Mommy look its a sea turtle!" Niko said pulling Kensi closer to the glass to look at the turtle.
"That's cool bud." She said looking in the tank. They had to pull Niko away from the sea turtles so they could continue to look at the rest of the animals.
"Can we go back and see them before we leave?" Niko asked looking at his parents.
"We will see munchkin." Deeks said pulling him up to sit on his shoulders. Kensi knew Ryland would feel left out so she grabbed him and placed him on her shoulders also. A few more tanks and fish later they came across a playplace for the kids. It was aquarium and ship wrecked themed.
"Mommy can we play?" Ryland asked from her shoulders.
"Yes leave your shoes with daddy and I though." She said as she set him down. Deeks followed suit and set Niko down. The boys took off while their parents found a table to sit at.
"This was fun, and I'm pretty sure Niko wants to live with the sea turtles now." Deeks said.
"I know, maybe we should get some sea turtle decals for his walls since we can't actually get him a sea turtle." Kensi suggested.
"That sounds good." They fell into silence and watched their boys chase eachother through the play equipment.
"So Ryland really wants you to come and watch him surf later today." Deeks casually brought up the discussion from earlier.
"Niko doesn't want to surf though Deeks. I want to watch him, but we have another son who needs attention also." Kensi reminded him.
"I didn't forget that Kensi. I just meant maybe you could play soccer on the beach or take him on a walk along the beach to take pictures." Deeks explained. "Then you will be able to see Ryland and spend time with Niko without him surfing." He said voicing his ideas.
"What if he doesn't want my help taking pictures. I don't want to replace his mom, that was something they did together." Kensi said with a hint of worry in her voice.
"You're not replacing his mom, he knows that. You are just helping him, if he didn't want you to, I think he would tell you." Deeks reassured his wife.
"I will talk to him about it. He isn't a fish like you and Ryland, he comes from a cold country with snow and has different preferences." She said.
"I am aware of the weather in Russia, I just want to make Ryland and Niko happy." He said. Kensi smiled and leaned into him.
"I love you, and I will see if maybe he wants to do something at the beach."
"I love you too." Deeks said giving her a light kiss. Ryland was the first to leave the play equipment and collapse in Kensi's lap.
"Did you have fun today?" She asked the sweaty four year old.
"Yes can we come back?" He asked.
"Mommy and I talked to the fish and decided you can live in the shark tank with them." Deeks teased.
"No!" Ryland gasped and looked at his mom.
"It's true the sharks said they would take good care of you, and they will even share their fish." Kensi teased playing along.
"I no wants to live with the sharkies. I wants to live with yous." Ryland said looking defeated.
"Were just playin Little Prince, we love you too much to leave you with the sharks." Kensi said kissing him. Ryland visibly relaxed and moved so his dad could hold him.
"I'm going to get Niko so we can head home and get ready to go surfing." Kensi said standing up. She retrieved Niko and the family headed to see the sea turtles one last time before leaving the aquarium.
I apologize for taking so long to update. Thank you all as always and I hope you enjoy! :)
