Because my thoughts consume me.


Kensi had just walked into the bar, her husband had been sick the past couple of days and neither of them had been able to check up on their business what with him barely being able to walk to the restroom much less go check on the bar, and her taking care of him. He's been out of it for awhile so she decided to come down and see how everything's going.

Roberta sees her daughter-in-law walk in, surprised to see her but figuring that the young brunette needed a little break. She loves her son but boy does he get whiney when he's sick. "How's our boy?"

Before her brain even has time to process what she's saying, she whispers barely loud enough for the older blond to hear, "Which one?"

Roberta looks at her daughter-in-law, her beautiful beautiful daughter-in-law questioningly until her eyes fall to Kensi's stomach where she's absentmindedly resting her hand.

Kensi doesn't think she's ever seen someone's expression accelerate from confusion to pure elation as fast as her mother-in-law's did. Well that's not entirely true, Deeks' reaction when she told him was a tad bit faster.

Something she's never felt before hits her. As she looks around her, taking in the sunlight, and the gentle breeze that blows, she lets out a joyful laugh.

"What's got you so happy, Sunshine?"

She looks up when she hears her husband, laughing as tears glisten in her mismatched eyes. "I'm just really happy."

He sits down on the chase lounge as she leans forward, wiping away the tears that have fallen. "Hey, what's going on? I don't think I've ever seen you like this."

She doesn't say anything, but what she does next fills him with an unexplainable feeling. Turning her head, she places a gentle kiss on his palm, takes his hand and places it on her stomach.

He looks at his hand and then back to her glistening eyes. Before he knows it, he's tackling her to the lounge, placing kisses all over her face.

She giggling. Actually giggling with tears in her eyes as her husband peppers her with kisses.

He pulls back enough so that he can look at her. "I love you. I love you so much."

She sees the pure joy in his smile and the love in his eyes. "We love you too." Placing a hand on his neck, she pulls him in, bringing his lips to hers.

"Does Marty know?" The grandma-to-be walks up to her, pulling the brunette into a bone crushing hug.

"Okay, easy there, grandma. Don't want to crush the baby." Thinking back to the moment to when she got all she never knew she always wanted, the tears begin to build in her eyes.

Roberta pulls back when she realizes that she got a little out of hand with her reaction. She gives Kensi a smile, and bends down as she places a hand where her grandchild is growing. "Hey, baby. It's your grandma Bertie here." She looks back up at Kensi and gives her a soft smile, "Look, you won the mom lottery and I'm gonna need you to be humble about it when you come out of there, because god know your father won't be."

Kensi lets out a soft chuckle as she pulls her into another hug and places a kiss on her cheek. "Thank you, Mama B."

Rubbing the brunette's back soothingly, she smiles. "Only stating the truth." The feisty grandma lets her curiosity get the best of her and asks, "Who else knows?"

Wiping the tears from her face, she looks into those blue eyes that remind her so much of her husband's. "No one. We thought that since you were the last to know about the engagement that you should be the first to know about this. We were gonna tell you together but once I saw you I just couldn't hold it in."

The grin that graces the older woman's face tells her how much that means to her. "So it's a boy?"

Kensi gives a sheepish smile. She hasn't told her husband yet but the feeling is strong, call it mother's intuition. "Actually we don't know yet. I just have a feeling it is."
