CHAPTER 53: ON THE ROAD...

KENSI & MARTY'S HOUSE…

0845 AM...

After breakfast thy waited for Sam, Laura, Michelle, Callen, Eric and Nell to show up in the minivan, then after greeting everyone…

Marty, Kensi, Meg and Monty got into Kensi's SRX and led the way to the house where they would be staying in Anaheim.

INSIDE KENSI'S SRX…

"Are you going to give me the silent treatment for the whole ride? Come on, Kens…"

Marty said, but received no answer.

"…Fern, you know you can't stay mad at me. Could you help me out, Meg?" Marty asked, looking at Meg in the backseat.

"Why?" Meg questioned. "Mommy's in a bad mood…" Marty began. "She doesn't need to know why I'm mad at you." Kensi growled. "Oh, so you're talking to me again, huh?" Marty asked with a smile.

But Kensi put in a CD of kids songs and turned it up, once again ignoring Marty.

15 MINUTES LATER…

"Hey, Kens, how about we find a rest stop?" Marty suggested and Kensi glanced at him it a raised eyebrow. "We just left home 15 minutes ago. Didn't you go before we left the house?" Kensi inquired.

"Yeah, I did, but I have to go again. Besides Monty could probably use a break to," Marty pleaded. "Fine, call the others and let them know we're stopping at the next rest stop." Kensi said and Marty pulled out his cell phone to make the call.

THE REST STOP…

Kensi pulled into the rest stop parked and then got Meg out of her car seat. While Marty opened the other door to let Monty out, Sam pulled the minivan up beside Kensi's SRX.

"We have not been on the road that long and we're already stopping? It will take us longer to get there if we stop every ten minutes!" Sam complained getting out of the minivan.

"Sorry, I thought, Monty could use a break and also that Meg might have to go as well." Marty lied. "Don't you even dare try to put this off on Monty or Meg…because you are the one that wanted to stop," Kensi snapped at him.

"Well we should at least try while we're here." Michelle said taking Laura's hand and heading for the women's restroom, followed by Nell and Kensi with Meg's hand in her own.

Sam, Eric and Marty headed for the men's restroom, while Callen waited by the car and minivan with Monty.

THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM…

"Did Marty do something to make you made this morning?" Nell asked as Kensi stood in the stall waiting for Meg to go.

"I was going to make French toast for breakfast this morning and he joked about me burning the house down. I may not be able to cook a lot, but I can cook a little if he would give me a chance." Kensi said as the toilet flushed and Kensi led Meg to the sink to wash her hands.

"So how do you plan to prove to him you can cook?" Nell asked. "I have a plan, but I'll have to tell you later since Meg doesn't know where we're going yet." Kensi replied.

OUTSIDE THE RESTROOM…

As Nell, Kensi, Meg, Michelle and Laura came out of the women's restroom Callen was coming out of the men's restroom.

"Took you long enough in the bathroom and you complained about me taking too long in the bathroom this morning," Marty joked when he spotted her. "Shut up, Marty." Kensi said as Meg let of her hand and ran to Marty.

"I think we need to get back on the road." Sam suggested as Marty picked Meg up and strapped her into her car seat and then opened the other back door to let Monty into the car.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN…

MONTY, MARTY, MEG & KENSI…

"So are you talking to me again or still giving me the silent treatment?" Marty questioned. "Why do we have to talk? I bet you can't go two miles without talking or making a sound." Kensi challenged glancing at Marty to see him writing something on a piece of paper.

Marty then flashed Kensi a grin before showing her what he had written.

'Challenge accepted!'

Kensi smiled back at him, before returning he eyes to the road.

A little more than a mile and a half later, Marty tapped Kensi's shoulder and showed her another note:

'Meg's asleep.'

It was half an hour later they finally reached Anaheim…

THE BLOCK WITH THE HOUSE...

Just as Kensi pulled onto the block with the house where they would be staying, Meg began to stir and wake up.

"Have a nice nap?" Marty asked glancing at Meg and she just nodded her head.
