CHAPTER 37: FIVE YEARS OF KNOWING EACH OTHER...
APRIL 6, 2015...
THE MISSION...
THE BULLPEN...
"I remember their first case..." Callen said. "Yeah, Kensi was...What did you say, G.? Stuck, smitten, whatever...when she first met, Deeks?" Sam asked with a laugh.
"No, absolutely not..." Kensi declared as she and Marty made their way to their desk.
"Why not, Princess," Marty whined, sitting down at his desk. "Because there is no way we are giving this baby that name if it's a girl." Kensi answered. "But it means beginning..." Marty pressed.
"Absolutely not," Kensi repeated. "Okay, fine, how about..." Marty looked back at the book in his hand.
"Who knew on their fifth year anniversary as partners they would be looking at baby names for their second child?" Callen teased. "You and Sam were fighting like a married couple on your five year anniversary as partners." Kensi reminded Callen.
"How about this one," Marty joked pointing at another name in the baby book and Kensi glared at him, before punching him in the shoulder. "Get this through your thick head Deeks...try to be more serious about the names we come up with!" Kensi snapped at him.
"Okay, why not Margaret Dawn Deeks? That's the name we had chosen for a girl the last time." Marty pointed out. "Because...I want to think of some other names to," Kensi told him.
It was at that point Hetty came into the Bullpen and reminded them that there was paperwork that needed to be done.
Also reminding them that her letter opener was sitting on her desk...
"We can talk more about baby names tonight when we get home and I'll try to be more serious about the names we choose." Marty promised.
"Do you even know how to be serious, Deeks?" Callen asked and Marty looked at him.
"Of course I know how to be serious and Kensi can vouch for that...right, Kensi?" Marty inquired looking over at Kensi, who seemed to be paying no attention to the conversation as she worked on her paperwork.
"Looks like you're being ignored..." Callen taunted.
"Come on, Princess. Help me out here. Tell them I can be serious..." Marty begged still looking at her.
"Did you say something?" Kensi asked finally looking up at him. "Yeah, I was hoping you could tell Callen I can be serious. Are you okay? Don't say 'fine'..." Marty warned.
"I'm good...I was just thinking." Kensi answered.
"What were you thinking about?" Marty inquired. "That fact that I know you have a draw full of snacks for me..." Kensi replied with a huge grin. "Really, how do you know that here is anything in there?" Marty teased.
"You want everyone to suffer, because you didn't keep my snack draw full?" Kensi questioned as the smile faded from her face. "Really, your snack draw...It's a draw in MY desk, so that makes it MY snack draw." Marty shot back. "DEEKS..." Kensi said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Kensi," He answered in what seemed to be an innocent voice. "Give me a damn snack from the snack draw!" Kensi demanded clearly irritated.
"Say please and I'll think about it." Marty teased, but she continued to glare at him before punching him in the shoulder hard. "DEEKS..." Kensi said again. "Going back to my last name now, I thought we were past that point in our relationship." Marty said clearly enjoying the fact that he was getting under her skin.
"If you don't give me a damn snack now I will..." Kensi began, Marty finally pulled out a candy bar and Kensi snatched it from him. "Hey! No need to snatch it. I was going to give it to you and you don't need to get grumpy on me either, babe. Just remember what I said about you being mad..." Marty reminded her.
"A Baby Ruth candy bar, really?" Kensi asked raising an eyebrow at him. "Well, you said you wanted a snack and a Baby Ruth candy bar is a snack. Plus you never did tell me what you were thinking about." Marty said still grinning.
"I'll tell you when we get home tonight." Kensi told him and then un-wrapping the candy bar, she took a bite. "Ah, something not work related?" Marty questioned, but Kensi didn't answer.
"Marty, just shut up and get to work on your reports or Hetty will get her letter opener after you." Kensi told him, turning back to her own work. "Wouldn't you protect your loving husband and the father of your children?" Marty asked. "Better get to work or risk finding out..." Kensi warned.
After one last glance at Kensi, Marty laid a Twinkie on her desk and got back to work.
1600 HOURS...
"One hour..." Kensi said with a tired sigh, after looking at the time. "Tired, Kens?" Marty asked.
"More like bored, because of being stuck here when the team goes out in the field." Kensi replied. "You were the one that wanted me to get you pregnant again." Marty whispered to her.
For the next hour the team waited for a whistle from Eric singling a new case, but it never came.
1700 HOURs...
"Ready to go pick Matty up and go home," Marty asked and Kensi nodded tiredly.
"We'll see you tomorrow!" Kensi told the team as she gathered her things, then Marty grabbed both of their bags, and then they walked out the door.
MARTY & KENSI...
IN THE CAR...
ON THE WAY TO JULIA'S HOUSE...
"So what were you thinking about earlier today? You said you would tell me tonight and you've been quiet all day. You okay?" Marty asked, glancing over at her, before returning his eyes to the road.
"Do you think we would have met eventually? I mean if we didn't meet as Jason and Tracy?" Kensi asked looking over at him. "Oh, I'm sure we would have." Marty answered confidently, as he shot her a grin.
"How can you be so sure we would have met eventually?" Kensi questioned with curiosity and Marty shrugged. "We were just meant to be..." Marty replied as though that explained everything.
"That's your explanation that we were just 'meant to be'?" Kensi inquired and Marty nodded.
"Hetty did a great job when she made me your partner. Everyone saw a 'THING' between us, before finally admitted it and you can't say it didn't exist from the beginning because it has." Marty answered back as they pulled up in front of Julia's house.
"We'll talk more about baby names after we put Matty to bed tonight and no more coming up with names like you did earlier. Seriously...Conception or Halcyone," Kensi asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"I was joking about those two names Kens and I said I would be more serious, but Halcyone does mean sea conceived..." Marty said as they walked up to the front door. "If we have a little girl and her peers found out the meaning of her name...she would be teased. Is that what you want?" Kensi asked.
"No, but I'm sure with you as a mother she would be tough and she has an older brother to look out for her. I already promised I would be more serious and I will." Marty replied, as they reached the front door, he turned her toward him and placing his hands on her hips he gave her a peck on the lips.
It took all of Kensi's will power to pull away and knock on the door. A minute later Julia answered the door slightly out of breath.
"Hey, mom," Kensi said. "Mama, Dada!" Matty yelled as he came running into view. "Hey, Matty," Marty said as he picked Matty up.
"I was just getting ready to feed Matty dinner and there's plenty if you and Marty would like to have dinner as well." Julia offered, so Kensi and Marty agreed.
"Were you running and trying to make Grandma catch you again?" Kensi asked. "NO!" Matty yelled, but Kensi and Marty knew better.
Matty had started a new game of every time it was time to sit down and eat, whoever was trying to get him to the table would have to chase him down.
"Well, I think you were. Sorry, mom, it's a game he's started." Kensi said looking over at her mother.
"That's okay, Kensi, you used to do the same thing and most the time when your father was home...you only wanted him to catch you." Julia said, surprising Kensi and Marty with the information.
"What other stories do you have that I haven't heard about my famous wife here, huh?" Marty asked, looking at Julia and Kensi elbowed Marty.
