A/N: More reuniting!


The young agent is pacing back and forth across her and Marty's living room. "Mom, there's something I need to tell you."

"Okay."

She stops in her tracks, worriedly looking at her mother. "It's a really big deal and I don't know how you're going to react. So can you just promise me that you'll listen before you say anything?"

"Okay, Kensi, you're scaring me. What's going on?"

The special agent takes out her phone, sending off a quick text to her husband.

A few minutes later the two women watch as Marty steps through the front door and he's not alone.

Julia freeze when he steps through the doorway. Before she knows it, her legs are moving faster than her brain can process.

Donald opens his arms as she bolts towards him. He lets out a grunt at the force she propels herself into his arms.

The older brunette's mind is spinning. Her husband whom she thought was dead has his arms wrapped around her. She thought that she might be dreaming, but the strength in his hold makes her think that maybe it is all real and somehow her dreams have come true. "You're real. Please tell me this isn't a dream."

The former marine tightens his hold on his wife and just breathes in her scent. "I'm real. I've missed you so much, Juls."

The younger couple watches on as her parents reunite after being apart for so long. Marty wraps his arm around his wife's shoulders, pulling her into his body and places kiss to the top of her head. "I guess what they say is true."

Kensi wraps her arms around his waist, taking in the beautiful scene that plays out before her. Her parents are back together. The little girl inside her is in complete and utter disbelief because she never knew she wanted this to happen until now. "What's that?"

"Love conquers all."

She looks up into his eyes and can't help the sheen of tears reflect in her eyes.

His eyes lock with hers and he can she the joy of a little girl getting something back that she once lost. Leaning down, he presses his forehead to hers, saying nothing and everything at the same time.


Kensi and Marty make their way into the kitchen to give the lost loves time to catch up. For some reason she thought that her mother would be more upset with her father's sudden resurrection. She thinks about what her husband said earlier about love conquering all and how true it rings.

She looks at him, leaning against the counter and the trance he seems to put her in every time she looks at him. If she were to put herself in her mother's shoes and something were to tragically happen to Marty and he died, but then years later suddenly shows up at her doorstep of course it wouldn't matter to her. She would absolutely not think about anything other than the fact that she had him back.

As the thought of her loosing him creeps into her mind, she's filled with an agony she's never known before.

Marty sees the lost look on his loves eyes and walks over to her. The tears he's met with when she lifts her head breaks his heart into a million little pieces. He knows where her head went because his went there too.

His arms wrap tight around her and a sense of love, complete and unadulterated love washes over her entire being. He does that for her. "I love you. I love you so much, Marty."

"I love you, too, baby. There are no words that describe how much I love you." Her fingers grasp his shirt, she can't seem to get close enough to him.

They stay wrapped up in each others arms until Julia and Donald walk into the kitchen with bright smiles on their faces.

Marty looks down at their intertwined fingers, making his lip curl up into a smile. He nudges his wife to look, but her eyes are already there, looking.

"So are you two-" There's almost a childlike sounding hope in the tall brunette's voice as she moves her finger back and forth between her parents.

"We're-" Julia's not quite sure how to answer her daughter but her husband gladly takes over.

The older man can see the hope in his little girl's eyes and can't help but think the same is mirrored in his. He nods as he tries to get the words out. "We're working it out." At those words, the former marine sends a wink in his son-in-law's direction.

They've become quite close over the past few days, Marty and Donald. Kensi didn't think they would get along being so different and all, but just like with her the two bonded from the start.

"So, Julia, I have something for you." The shaggy blonde reaches for his wallet and brings out the old picture, handing it over to its rightful owner.

"Oh, thank god. I thought I lost it."

"You kept it all this time. You kept it safe."

"No, it kept me safe."

Donald wraps his arm around his wife's shoulder, a content smile crossing his face as he places a kiss to the crown of her head.

Kensi smiles that her parents and curls into her husband. Yeah, life can't get much better than this. "You know, I never heard the story behind that picture."

The man seems a bit embarrassed at the attention being put on himself. He's always been a private person when it concerns matters of the heart. "It's nothing major."

Julia whips her head to look at the man she fell in love with so long ago. "Are you kidding, Don? It's when I first knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Really?"

"Really."

He runs back from the bus that's suppose to take him to base and towards his girlfriend who will hopefully become his wife once he gets back from deployment. "Julia, wait." The marine reaches into his pocket and pulls out a photo of himself. "Here, I want you to have this."

"Why do I need this?"

Reaching for her hand, he rubs soft circles on her wrist. "To remind you that no matter where I am in this world, no matter how far apart we are, I'll always be with you. You have my heart, Juls, and you'll always have it." He places one last kiss to her lips before backpedaling to his bus. "I love you."

The young brunette smiles tearfully at his retreating form. She didn't even get to tell him that he has her heart, too. He always will. "I love you, too."

Kensi's shocked at the romantic that she never knew her father was. "Wow!" She wonders why if her mom loved her dad so much why would she leave. "I'm not trying to be rude or anything, mom, but if you loved him so much then why did you leave him?"

"Kensi." She hears a warning tone in her father's voice. One that she hasn't heard in seven years.

"No, Don, it's okay." The older brunette walks across the room and reaches for her daughter's hand. "Because, Kensi, I didn't know how to handle being a marine's wife anymore. And neither of you know this but a few months after you ran back to your father I was gonna come back home to you two."

Kensi looks to her father, wondering if he knew.

"I saw what life was like without your father and without you and I couldn't go on. I wanted my family back and I was prepared to do whatever it took for you two to forgive me."

"But even after dad's accident, you didn't even come back for me. Why?"

"Because, baby, I thought you would've blamed me for it. And I didn't want that to be our relationship for the rest of our lives."

Kensi pulls aways from her husband and wraps her arms around her mother in a loving embrace. "I love you, mom."

"I love you, too, baby."

The women are drawn out of their moment when their respective husbands both wrap their arms around them in one giant hug and can't help but laugh as they speak in unison. "And we love you both."

They may be weirdos. But they're each other's weirdos. Their broken family is being mended and they couldn't be more grateful.
