"Really another Comescu? I thought we were done with them," Callen reacted angry.
"Apparently not."
"Just have one question about that," Zoë interjected. "I mean if it's a Comescu why go through the trouble of kidnapping us and putting us on a boat in the middle of the ocean? The other Comescus were very straightforward about it that they wanted to kill G. So why did this one stuck us on a boat? I mean the boat clearly wasn't sinking so what, he was hoping we would starve out there or something. I really don't think a Comescu has the patience for that. And if he put us out there so he could come and finish us later he would've done that by now right? We were out there for hours."
"She has a point G."
"Yeah it doesn't add up. Unless this wasn't his endgame. He has some other plans or something went wrong….."
Sam saw that his partner was thinking of something.
"What you thinking G?"
"Putting us in a boat in the middle of the ocean would be perfect if they were planning to blow the boat up. But we were there for hours so if they wanted to do that they would've done that by now unless something went wrong."
"The coast guard did a sweep before they towed it back to shore but perhaps they missed something. I'll have Kensi and Deeks go over it thoroughly and get the bomb squad to search it."
Sam stepped out of the room to make some calls. Callen walked up to the bed and sat down next to Zoë. Fenna was lying peacefully in her arms, looking up to them with her bright blue eyes.
"Hey there little girl," Callen spoke to her as he stroked her little hand and Fenna tried to wrap her small hand around his finger. "She's so cute."
"Yes she is. I'm so happy that she's finally here and that everything is alright. I was so worried when we were out there on the boat and I went into labor, worried that something might go wrong."
"You did really well out there honey. And yeah I'm glad that everything's alright with both of you."
Zoë looked Callen's way. "I couldn't have done it without you. I'm glad you were there with me and you were literally the first person our little girl saw."
"Yeah I was," Callen replied with a smile on his face. "I never thought I would help deliver my own daughter in this way. But it was so special this way. We really did it together, we created her together and brought her in this world together."
"Yeah we did." Zoë looked at the little baby in her arms. "I just hope the Comescus don't get to her."
"I would never let that happen. I will never let them get their hands on her. I will do everything in my power to protect her from them, from anything."
"But there's a Comescu out there and we don't know what he wants. What if putting us on that boat was just a decoy to have us chasing him around while he waits to strike to hurt you or me or Fenna."
Callen lifted Zoë's face up to his. "I will never let that happen. We will catch him before he even has a chance to hurt you our Fenna."
"But what about you? I don't want you to get hurt either and I know that you'll go out there as soon as the others have found him."
"Yes I will, I want to make sure we catch this son of a bitch. But I promise I'll be careful out there."
"And I'll make sure he doesn't go anywhere without me," Sam stated, walking back into the room. "Don't worry Zoë, I'll make sure he comes back to you two."
"You better," Zoë said, leaving no room for argument.
"Michelle's coming here so you won't be here alone Zoë."
"Thanks Sam," Callen told his partner, glad that someone he trusted was here to look after his wife when he was out there trying to catch Comescu. "Do the others have something yet?"
"No not yet. Kensi and Deeks will search the boat from top to bottom and the bomb squad is on it's way. Eric and Nell are looking to see if they can find Comescu or the other man in the video. Once they have something they will call."
"Okay."
"So for now we can just enjoy the new little addition to the family." Sam moved over to the bed so he could get a good look at Fenna. "She really is cute."
"Thanks Sam," Zoë responded. "Would you like to hold her?"
"Yeah sure." Zoë handed Fenna to Sam. "Hey there little girl, it's your uncle Sam."
Zoë and Callen looked at Sam holding there little girl. She looked so small in his big arms. A little later Michelle stepped into the room.
"Hey guys," Michelle said.
"Hey Michelle," Callen and Zoë greeted her.
"Congratulations on the little girl."
"Thank you."
Michelle walked over to her husband to get a look at Fenna.
"Aww she's so cute. She really has your eyes G."
"Yeah she does."
"What's her name?"
"Fenna."
The were interrupted by Sam's phone pinging so he handed Fenna to Zoë.
"The bomb squad checked the boat but they didn't find anything," Sam spoke after reading Kensi's text.
"Sooner or later he finds out we made it back," Callen stated. "Which is why we need to get them before they get to us."
A little later Sam's phone pinged again. "The wonder twins found Comescu."
"Let's go! I'm not letting him get away." Callen turned to Zoë and gave her a kiss.
"Be careful out there honey, I don't want you to get hurt. You could be walking into a trap. This could've been his plan all along, have you chasing him so he can kill you."
"I'll be careful honey and I've got Sam with me."
"Don't worry Zoë, I won't let anything happen to him."
"Just be careful. You know how these guys can be."
"I know and I promise I'll be careful. I'll be back before you know it."
Callen looked at Fenna lying in Zoë's arms. He hated leaving his two girls alone here but he needed to protect them, he needed to catch this Comescu so he wouldn't come after them again.
"Don't worry Callen, I will stay here and make sure they are okay," Michelle spoke. "I've got my gun with me and there's also a guard outside the room so we'll be alright. At the first sign of trouble I will call you."
"Thank you."
Callen gave Zoë one more kiss and gave Fenna a soft kiss on her head.
"Bye little girl. Daddy will be right back."
Callen and Sam left the hospital and drove to the address Nell had given them. Kensi and Deeks met them there.
"How are Zoë and Fenna?" Kensi asked.
"They are doing very well. So let's get this guy so I can get back to them."
They were standing outside an empty two-story office building. They all suited up before going inside. Sam and Callen went right and Kensi and Deeks went left. They cleared the entire building but there was nothing to be found.
"Nell," Callen spoke over the com. "Are you sure this is the right address? There's nothing here."
"Yeah, this is were kaleidoscope tracked him and his phone is pinging from this location."
Suddenly they heard a phone pinging. On one of the tables lay a bunch of papers. Callen rummaged through the papers and found the phone. He quickly put his gloves on and picked up the phone. He opened the phone and immediately opened a text message with a picture.
"Crap! SON OF A BITCH!" Callen yelled at the phone as he looked at the picture and seconds later he was heading towards the door.
"G! What's going on?" Sam questioned, quickly running after his partner and the two junior agents followed.
"He's at the hospital!"
They all ran towards the door but the door was now suddenly blocked, trapping the agents inside.
"Come on!" Callen yelled as he punched against the door.
The phone pinged again.
'You are trapped agent Callen. You won't be here in time to save them,' the message read.
Sam tried to kick the door open but it wouldn't budge. Callen pulled his phone out and called Zoë but her phone went straight to voicemail. He tried Michelle next but her phone went to voicemail as well.
'You can't call them and warn them agent Callen, I've blocked cell service around the hospital. No call is getting into the hospital,' another text came in.
Callen was boiling with angry. If Comescu would even lay a hand on Zoë or Fenna he would kill her over and over. Callen was shocked out of his thoughts when he heard glass shatter. Sam had used a office chair to smash the window.
"G, this way."
The agents quickly jumped through the window and got in their cars. As fast as they could they drove to the hospital. Callen called Hetty in the meantime.
"Hetty, Comescu's at the hospital. He's got eyes on Zoë and he blocked the cell service so I can't warn them. We're still about thirty minutes out."
"I will alert LAPD and make sure someone gets there in a minute."
"Thanks Hetty."
"Michelle is there too so if Comescu tries something she will intervene."
"I hope we're not too late. If he hurts them I will kill him."
As fast as he could Sam weaved through the traffic.
…
Fenna had fallen asleep in Zoë's arms so she gently put her in her crib and took a picture of Fenna sleeping.
"How are you feeling?" Michelle asked.
"Happy but tired though."
"That's all normal. I was tired too after I had Aiden and Kamran. But it's all worth it when you see your little baby."
"Yeah it totally is. From the moment I laid eyes on her I was in love with her. And I'm just glad everything is alright. I was so afraid when I went into labor there on the boat. I was so afraid there would be complications that could hurt Fenna."
"Callen did really well helping you."
"Yeah he sure did. I couldn't have done it without him. I just hope he will be back soon and that Comescu is gone."
"Why don't you get some rest? I'll be right here to keep an eye on you two so if anyone comes in here they will deal with me."
"Thanks Michelle."
Zoë got comfortable in bed and within minutes she was fast asleep. A little later a male nurse stepped into the room to check on them. He looked at the monitors and noted something on the chart. Seeing them asleep he quietly left again and would come back later once they were awake. Michelle thought there was something off with him but he seemed harmless so she let it go for now. About twenty minutes later he came into the room again, this time he was carrying a few syringes. Zoë and Fenna were still asleep.
"What are those for?" Michelle questioned suspiciously as he got ready to inject it into Zoë and Fenna.
"Just some antibiotics to help her immune system."
No trusting the situation Michelle decided to intervene. "Put the syringes down, I want to hear it from her doctor first that she needs those medications."
"The doctor signed off on these medications so we're good."
"I'd like to hear it from her personally if you don't mind."
"Actually I do mind."
He made a move towards Michelle and fought with her. Being an agent Michelle could counter his attack but he managed to push her against the wall nonetheless. He moved his hand behind his back and grabbed a gun out of his pants. He was about to shoot Michelle but she got up fast and knocked the gun out of his hand but not until he got a shot off. But because Michelle knocked the gun out of his hands the bullet went into the wall. Hearing the gun shot Zoë shook up in bed and she saw Michelle fighting with someone. Instinctively she moved over to protect Fenna. She held Fenna close to her and grabbed her phone to try and call Callen but she couldn't get a call out.
A little later two LAPD officers ran into the room with hospital security in tow. Michelle was still fighting the nurse as the officers grabbed him from behind and pushed him against the wall. They twisted his arms behind his back and cuffed him.
Fenna had woken up from the commotion as well and was now crying in Zoë's arms.
"Shhhhh it's okay little girl, mommy's got you," Zoë tried to calm Fenna down.
"You okay?" Michelle asked.
"Yeah I'm okay."
Zoë looked at the man LAPD had now planted on one of the chairs. She hadn't seen the picture of Florin but the man definitely looked eastern European.
..
Within twenty-five minutes the agents were at the hospital again. Callen jumped out of the car and ran into the hospital. Not wanting to wait for the elevator Callen ran towards the stairs and ran up to the second floor. He ran towards Zoë's room with his gun ready. He saw that Zoë's door was open and he heard some voices inside. As he approached Zoë's room he saw someone coming out. He raised his gun and then saw it was and LAPD officer.
"Agent Callen, everything is under control."
Relieved a bit Callen walked into the room and he saw a man sitting on the chair, it was Florin Comescu. Callen quickly looked at the bed but Zoë and Fenna seemed to be alright.
"YOU! You son of a bitch. You'll pay for everything you have done," Callen spat angrily at Comescu.
"You will never get rid of us all agent Callen."
"You can keep coming after me but you will never win. And don't you dare come after my family again. You're lucky I wasn't here cus you wouldn't be breathing anymore. Get him out of my sight. Take him to the boatshed."
"Will do agent Callen."
The LAPD officers took Comescu away and transported him to the boatshed as Sam, Kensi and Deeks came into the room. Callen walked up to Zoë who was still trying to comfort a crying Fenna.
"Are you okay honey?" Callen asked concerned as he checked them over for any injuries.
"I'm okay. Just a bit rattled but okay. I can't believe he would come here to try and take me and Fenna out. Luckily Michelle was here. She fought him off."
Callen turned to Michelle. "Thank you Michelle," Callen spoke sincerely.
"You're welcome Callen. No one hurts any family of mine on my watch."
"How did he get in here?" Sam questioned. "I mean there was a guard stationed at the door and he would check their credentials before coming in."
"I didn't seen him come in when Michelle was fighting Comescu," Zoë said.
"I didn't see him outside either."
"We'll see where he is and why he's not here," Kensi spoke and she and Deeks left with some hospital security to search for the missing guard.
Now that the commotion was over Fenna started calming down.
"It's okay Fenna, it's all okay. Mommy's got you."
"Daddy's here too Fenna. Daddy won't let anything happen to you."
Suddenly they heard gunfire outside. Sam looked out of the window and saw that LAPD was boxed in and someone was trying to free Comescu. He told Callen what was going on and the two agents quickly made their way downstairs. Just as they came outside Comescu was making his way over to the people rescuing him.
"COMESCU!" Callen yelled causing Florin to look his way.
"Too bad agent Callen, I win."
"Not on my watch."
Comescu got in the van and it sped away. Sam's car was parked just in front of the entrance so the partners quickly got in Sam's challenger and followed the van, closely followed by LAPD as well. After a chase for a few minutes they managed to cut the van off. Sam and Callen stepped out of the car, weapon ready and aiming it at the driver and passenger. Comescu was in the back of the van. LAPD had blocked the rear of the van.
"Out of the van! Hands where we can see them!" Sam yelled.
The driver and passenger got out of the van but as soon as they were out of the van they made a move to grab their guns. Sam and Callen were faster and shot them. The back door opened and Comescu tried to make a run for it. Callen was hot on his heels. Comescu ran into a dead end alley.
"End of the road Comescu!" Callen yelled as he kept his gun fixed on Comescu. "You're not going to get away."
Comescu turned around to face Callen. "You will never win agent Callen. There will always be one of us coming after you."
"All these years you have tried but I'm still here and you're family is getting thinner and thinner. Not many of you are left. No will never win. No get on your knees, hands behind your head."
"Sa mori tu![No way!]" Comescu yelled and made a move for his weapon.
Callen didn't think twice and shot Comescu, making him go down. Sam came running into the alleyway.
"You good G?"
Callen looked at Comescu's lifeless body before answering. "Yeah I'm good."
Sam checked Comescu's pulse but he was dead. The agents wrapped up before going back to the hospital.
"G! Thank god you're alright. Did you get Comescu?" Zoë asked as Callen and Sam walked back into the room.
"Yeah we got him. He can't hurt you or Fenna anymore. He's gone."
Zoë knew that this meant that Callen had shot and killed him. "You okay honey?"
"Yeah I'm good. Just glad that this if over."
"That it is indeed Mr. Callen," Hetty said as she walked into the room.
"You found who helped Comescu?"
"Yes. Ms. Blye and Mr. Deeks found our missing guard. He was lying unconscious on the staircase. He was lured away but someone else from our office."
"Who?" Callen wanted to know who at the office betrayed him.
"It was Michael."
"Michael was working with Comescu?" Zoë asked shocked. "He always seemed like such a nice guy."
"Yeah, it turned out that Michael has a bit of a gambling addiction and he was in pretty deep so Comescu used him, saying that he could make his problems go away if he helped him. Our agents picked Michael up trying to escape into Mexico. They are bringing him back here where I will have a word with him before they lock him up. And I'll make sure he knows not to talk about any of this or the information he has ever again."
"I can't believe someone from our office would betray me like that," Callen said.
"Me neither Mr. Callen, but it's over now. And I will have a hard look to everyone working in our office. But you don't need to worry about it. Just enjoy some time with your little girl." Hetty moved closer to the bed so she could get a look at little Fenna. "Congratulations you two, she's really cute."
"Thanks Hetty," Zoë replied.
"You all have had quite the day so we'll let you get some rest. You may take the rest of the week and next week off Mr. Callen."
"Thank you Hetty."
Everyone left the room, giving the new parents finally some well deserved rest. Callen sat down next to Zoë on the bed. Fenna was now completely calm again and she was snuggled up to Zoë.
"Luckily she's too young to understand what really went on," Zoë stated.
"Yeah luckily. I'm just glad the Comescus didn't get to you two."
"Yeah thankfully Michelle was here."
Since everything was now calm Zoë handed Fenna to Callen so she could call her family. She first called her dad and sister and then her mom and brother. Everyone was so excited for them and would come as fast as they could. Given that Ben and Fay lived in LA they were at the hospital within half an hour.
"Hey you two, congratulations," Ben said after he and Fay walked into the room.
"I'm so happy for you two sis," Fay told her sister as she gave her a big hug.
They walked up to Callen who was holding Fenna.
"Aww look at her, she's so cute. She really has your eyes," Fay stated.
"Yeah she does."
"Everything went alright with the delivery?" Ben wanted to know.
"Yeah, everything went fine. She was out pretty fast," Zoë told him, not sharing the entire story with him since he didn't know what their work was like.
"That's good to hear."
They stayed for a bit before going home again. Callen could spend the night at the hospital but they didn't get much sleep. Fenna woke them up about every two hours.
The next morning the doctor came by and discharged Zoë and Fenna. Callen held Fenna as Zoë was getting dressed. A nurse brought Zoë down in a wheelchair. They took a cab back home since they didn't drive their car here.
"Welcome home Fenna. This will be your home," Zoë spoke as she walked into the house holding Fenna.
Zoë sat down on the couch and Callen sat down next to her, looking at their little girl. Life was just perfect right now. They were really a family now.
..
A few days later Kirsten and Frank dropped by. Callen went to pick them up from the airport.
"Hey guys," Callen greeted them.
"Hey Greg, congratulations," his mother-in-law spoke to him and gave him a hug.
"Thank you."
"Congratulations Greg. Where's the little girl?" Frank asked.
"She's at home with Zoë. Zoë was just feeding her when you guys called."
Callen loaded the bags into the car and they drove home. Once they walked into the door Zoë was done feeding Fenna and she was lying peacefully in her playpen.
"Hey mom, hey Frank," Zoë greeted her mother and brother.
"Hey sweetie, congratulations," Kirsten told her daughter as she gave her a hug.
"Hey sis, congratulations."
Kirsten walked over to the playpen. "Oh my! She's so cute. Look at those bright blue eyes. Can I pick her up?"
"Yeah sure."
Kirsten picked Fenna up and sat down on the couch.
"Hallo daar kleine meid. Ik ben jouw oma. Oma woont niet in de buurt maar oma zal proberen om jouw vaak te zien.[Hey there little girl. I'm your grandma. Grandma doesn't live nearby but grandma will do her very best to see you often]."
"Jazeker, en ik zal ook regelmatig filmpjes en foto's van haar sturen.[Yeah absolutely, and I will send pictures and videos of her regularly,]" Zoë said.
Callen went into the kitchen and got some coffee going. He returned with a tray of coffee and with a plate of 'beschuit met muisjes'. That was a Dutch custom for when a baby is born. It were round sort of biscuits with white and pink sort of sprinkles on it.
Frank and Kirsten stayed for a while before going to a nearby hotel. They were staying for a few days. Zoë offered that they could stay at the house but Kirsten declined, giving the new family some time alone.
After dinner Zoë put Fenna in the tub. Callen watched and took a few pictures. He was absolutely in love with his two girls. He never thought he would have this life but here he was and he was loving every second of it. Once Fenna was done Zoë dried her off and dressed her for bed. She sat down on the rocking chair in the nursery and breastfed Fenna. Fenna was definitely a hungry little girl. When Fenna had burped Zoë placed her in her crib and put the music mobile on. Callen and Zoë watched as their little girl slowly fell asleep before quietly leaving the room.
"I'm glad she's doing so well," Callen spoke as they sat down on the couch.
"Yeah me too. She's a pretty easy baby, except for the nightly cries."
"Yeah, we're not getting much sleep lately."
"Nope we're not. But it's all worth it."
"Oh yes it definitely is. Anything for our little girl."
They enjoyed a quiet evening on the couch before going to bed. Callen fed Fenna a bottle before going to bed. Zoë had filled some bottles with breastmilk so Callen could feed her too.
They were absolutely loving their family life together. It was so cute to see Callen with Callen. She was only here a few days but she had Callen wrapped around her little finger already. She was definitely daddy's little princess.
….
Before they knew it Callen's two weeks of vacation time was up and he had to go back to work. He didn't want to go, he didn't want to leave Fenna. He had fed Fenna in the morning and handed her to Zoë as he got dressed. He absolutely loved seeing his wife with their daughter, his two girls.
"Daddy has to go to work Fenna. Be a good girl to mommy okay and don't do anything cute while daddy's away okay," Callen spoke to Fenna. Fenna laughed at him as he tickled her tummy. "You are so cute. Daddy doesn't want to leave you."
"But daddy does have to go to work," Zoë said.
"Yeah I know." Callen gave Fenna a kiss and after that Zoë. "Call me if you need me."
"I will, but we'll be okay."
"Bye Fenna, daddy will be home soon."
Callen gave Fenna one more kiss before he left.
"Morning G," Sam spoke once Callen walked into the bullpen.
"Morning Sam."
"How's Fenna doing?"
"She's doing very well. Waking up at night a few times but other than that she's doing very well."
"That's good to hear."
"I really didn't want to come to work today, I wanted to stay home with Zoë and Fenna."
"Oh yes, newborns have that effect on you. It's nice to see this side of you, daddy G."
"Yeah I absolutely love having her around."
Callen caught up with some paperwork. Luckily today was a quiet day. It was in the afternoon when his phone pinged. He smiled when he saw he had a video of Zoë. He played the video and saw Zoë playing with their little girl, blowing kisses on her tummy causing Fenna to laugh. Callen couldn't help but laugh and fall in love with his two girl even more.
"She sounds so cute," Kensi stated.
"Yeah she's laughing a lot already."
The rest of the day passed quickly and Callen was glad to go home again. When he walked into the house Zoë and Fenna were in the kitchen. Zoë was making dinner and Fenna stood on the table in her bouncy chair.
"Hey honey," Callen greeted his wife and walked over to her to give her a kiss.
"Hey honey, how was work?"
"Work was good. How did things go here?"
"Very well."
Fenna had heard her daddy so she started fussing.
"Hey little girl," Callen spoke as he walked over to Fenna. "Did you hear daddy's home huh?" Callen picked her up from her bouncy chair and cuddled her and gave her kisses. "Daddy definitely missed you today."
Dinner was simmering so Zoë walked over to them. Callen wrapped one arm around Zoë and with the other he held Fenna. They really had a beautiful family and they were all loving life right now.
The end! Thank you for reading and reviewing. Hope you all enjoyed it.
