Prompt from anon - Densi family
Deeks was drifting in and out of consciousness when he heard soft footsteps coming towards him. He opened his eyes and in the low light saw a head of messy curly hair right next to his bed.
"Hey there, baby girl." He spoke softly. "Why aren't you asleep?"
"I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I had a dream."
He reached out and smoothed her unruly hair. "Do you want to want to stay here tonight?"
He saw her curls bounce up and down as she nodded her head. He lifted the covers. She climbed over him and snuggled securely between her mom and dad.
"You feel better?"
"Uh huh."
"You know you have nothing to be afraid of... except mommy's snoring. That's pretty scary."
He heard soft giggling that let him know her nightmare was forgotten.
"Shhhh. We don't want to wake her. Mommy's cranky when she wakes up and that's pretty scary, too."
"Too late." He heard Kensi murmur.
"Don't worry, daddy. I'll protect you."
"That's my girl."
