A/N: Finally the meet. This chapter's a bit longer.
She had a feeling this day would come sooner or later. Her husband being the Assistant District Attorney, her team doing what they do...that and the fact that she's almost 5 months pregnant and starting to show, this meeting was inevitable. So here she is, sitting in the court room as her man does his thing, Sam and Callen nowhere to be found. Just as Marty calls his next witness, the ex-Navy SEAL and his partner make their way into the semi-quite room, taking their seats on the empty bench behind the two brunettes.
After the prosecution brings about new evidence, the judge calls recess until the next morning. Marty smiles, sending his wife a wink. He likes to show off in front of her, and he's super glad that he does't have to miss their afternoon plans.
As the rest of the team walks into the rotunda, Kensi stands at the door in wait for Marty to wrap up what he's doing with his colleagues. She exchanges pleasantries with the familiar faces as they begin to trickle out the door until the golden locks finally appear in front of her. "You ready for this?"
"You talking about you meeting my team or finding out the gender of this peanut?"
"Either…both?"
"Both. Definitely both."
"Did you talk to Talia?"
"Yeah, she's more excited about seeing the looks on Sam and Callen's faces than I am."
Sam and Callen watch on as their teammate and the lawyer have a conversation, sharing smiles. Curiosity getting the best of them.
The ex-Navy SEAL turns to the other brunette of the team, his brow furrowed. "Hey, Talia, I didn't know Kensi was so chummy with the ADA."
All she does is smile, shrugging at the question about two of her best friends. God this is gonna be good.
"If he's as smooth with the ladies as he is in the court room then I'd half expect to see him more often." Callen takes in Kensi's sudden change in demeanor as she continues to talk to the lawyer. She almost seems less tense…happier even.
"I guess sooner than we expected."
Talia turns her attention to see her partner and the ADA walk towards them, a knowing smile on her face.
Once they reach her teammates, they exchange smiles before Sam stretches his hand out in greeting. "Hey, nice work in there, man."
Marty returns the smile as he takes his offered hand. This may be funnier than his wife imagined. "Thanks."
"Eh, I've seen better." Talia spirts, playfully challenging the lawyer.
He raises his brow, accepting her challenge. "Oh, yeah?"
"Yeah, I was in court last week when James destroyed that blonde lawyer."
"First of all that was a debate and second of all-"
"Miss Congeniality is better than A League of Their Own, yeah, yeah." Talia rolls her eyes, knowing exactly what was about to come out of his mouth. It had been one Friday night where the couples couldn't decide what to watch so both Marty and James decide to take the matter to 'court,' court being the Deeks' living room.
Sam and Callen exchange a look before spreading their attention between the other three. "Are we missing something here?"
"Yeah, do you guys know each other?" Callen follows up with his own question.
"Oh, yeah, I met Marty here awhile ago. He actually set me and my husband up."
Affronted by her partner's words, Kensi feigns outrage. "Hey!"
"What?"
The agent looks at her partner as if she reminding her that she was there as well even though it was her husband's idea.
Talia just rolls her eyes, turning back to Sam and Callen. "Sorry. And his wife."
"Oh, so you're married." Sam states.
Marty's eyes light up at the mention of the woman who he's so deeply in love with that sometimes it's sickening to others. 6 years together, 3 years married, a kid with one on the way…yeah, he's smiling. "Yeah. Going on 3 years now."
Callen takes in Kensi's smile, caught off guard because he really thought she was flirting the lawyer earlier. "And how do you know him?"
"Actually he and his wife set me and my guy up as well." The brunette bites back a smile as she hears her husband and partner try and stifle their laughter. She shouldn't be having this much fun, but it's pretty great knowing something that these two "operators" think they have figured out.
Sam's brow furrows, mirroring his partner, both clearly lost. "I didn't know you had a boyfriend."
"I don't."
As if on cue, Talia catches sight of the clock on the wall. Perfect timing. "Hey, don't you have the-"
Marty looks at his watch, a birthday present from his wife, and his heart picks up speed, seeing the time. "Oh, yeah, didn't realize the time." In a couple of hours they should know the gender of their peanut and he'd be lying if he said he wasn't hoping for a little girl. "I'll catch you guys later."
Shaking each of the men's hand, Marty begins to walk off towards the entrance before turning around, noticing that his wife isn't following. "Um, baby?"
At the sound of her husband calling for her, she turns her head, a questioning look across his face when it hits her. "Oh, right. Mommy brain." Shaking her head, she bids her teammates a farewell, not missing the deer in headlights look written across the ex-Navy SEAL and former spook's faces.
"Wait, you two?"
The pregnant agent raises her arms in victory as she walks towards her laughing husband. Yeah, that was fun.
Kensi finds herself practically being drug into the ocean front shop by her husband, much like she was 2 years ago. This was their plan from the get go but after her doctor's appointment, Marty got even more excited. She can't help but laugh at their attire, he in a 3 piece suit and she in pencil skirt and blouse. They definitely don't look like the usual customers.
As soon as they step through the doors, the blonde lawyer makes a b-line to the tiny surf boards, already knowing exactly what he's getting.
The agent watches in amazement as her husband walks straight up to a board and takes it off the rack. "You weren't kidding when you said we wouldn't be long."
Heat rises to his cheeks at her words. "I may have scoped out ahead of time to make sure they had one in stock."
She gives him a knowing look, a grin playing at her lips at how adorable he is, but also not believing him for a minute.
"Okay, so maybe I came in yesterday to stare at it."
"You're cute. You know that?" Leaning forward, her lips find his. A smile plays at his lips as he leans in for one more. Yep, adorable.
Carrying the board under one arm, his free hand finds her, intertwining their fingers as they make their way to the familiar face behind the counter.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey, Mark. It's been awhile."
The shaggy brunette sends the couple a smile. "A few months, and I see congratulations are in order." He takes the piece of fiberglass from the lawyer much like he did two years ago but this time there's one distinct difference. "Purple Channel Island. So you got yourself a little Betty on the way."
"Yeah."
Kensi looks at her husband, seeing the dreamy look across his face and turns back to Mark unable to keep the smile off her own face. "He's been like this ever since the doctor confirmed it an hour ago."
"Understandable." He nods, knowing first hand what Marty's feeling. "So, the same font and color as Finn's board or do you guys want to switch it up?"
She shares a knowing look with her husband giving him the go ahead. "Same."
"Alright, if I can get the name."
As the couple's baby girl's name comes off Kensi's lips, Mark types the letters, and clicks the mouse a few times. Once he's pleased, he turns the screen to the couple, giving them a nice view of what the board will look like once completed. "So this is the rendering. If everything looks good, I'll get started on it tomorrow and call you when it's ready."
"That's great. Thanks, Mark."
"You're definitely welcome, guys. And hey, bring little dude by and we'll set him up with one of our new baby training boards."
"They make those?" Marty's brow furrows.
"It's pretty new technology but Kelly Slater uses it with his little one so I'd say it's pretty reliable."
"Cool. We'll stop by this weekend." Kensi takes hold of her husband's hand, now the one pulling him to the entrance because if she doesn't they'll be here all day and she's really hungry.
"See you guys."
Once they step onto the board walk, the fresh evening air hits them, her arms immediately encircling one of his. "How about we go pick up Finn and then have dinner at the pier?"
His lips find her forehead. "I like the way you think, my love."
