A/N: Last chapter before the Epilogue. Thanks for sticking with me on this long ride.
She had woken up this morning with a little bit of pain but brushed it off. Marty had planned this wonderful babymoon for them and she wasn't gonna let Braxton Hicks get in the way of that.
They had had a wonderful brunch at the most amazing restaurant. The weather was so perfect that they decided to take a walk along the waterfront park. Now here they sit, on a bench over looking out across the Vancouver Harbor with the North Shore Mountains off into the distance.
She leans further into his embrace, taking in the beautiful scenery and fresh air when….
At the wet sensation he hears splash on the ground, the blonde pulls back slightly, his arm still wrapped around her shoulders. "Oh, baby, I think your water's spilt."
"That's one way of putting it."
His brow furrows, but when his eyes travel down to her hand that's pressed against her stomach and notices that her bottle is sitting on the ground, unmoved, his eyes go wide in realization. "Ohhhh, shit."
"Why are we always in a public place when this happens?" She asks when tears start to take over her eyes. "Marty, I'm only 35 weeks."
"Hey, hey, don't cry." He places a kiss to her forehead. "35 weeks is still plenty far enough in the pregnancy. She's gonna be okay."
And just like that, his words bring a calm over her. "You're right, she's gonna be okay."
"Now let's go have this little girl so we can talk to her about how Blye women are suppose to be notoriously late."
"Hey that was one time and-"
He playfully rolls his eyes, and places his hand against her back, supporting her, as they walk back towards the hospital that is luckily right across the street from the restaurant they were at an hour ago. "And you thought you saw Joey McIntyre, yeah, yeah."
A few hours and new born baby later…
The nurses had so kindly set up a computer and webcam for them. Never did the thought of having their baby in another country cross their minds, but she's here now. A little on the small side, but healthy and that's all that matters. As the dial up tone rings, it finally connects. Three familiar faces popping up on the screen.
At the sight of his parents, the one and a half year old lets out a high pitched scream, making both his grandparent eyes go wide. "Dada! Mama!"
"Hey, buddy."
"Hi, baby." The second time mom feels the tears well in in her eyes, seeing his tiny little face on screen.
Seeing her daughter's emotional state, Julia does her best to distract her girl, even though they're thousands of miles apart. "Finn, what's mama got?"
"Baby."
"Oh, guys, she's beautiful." Don looks at his little girl holding her little girl in amazement.
The brunette sends her dad a smile before looking back down at one of her three loves. She's so perfect and beautiful and…here come the emotions.
Sensing her sudden change in emotion, Marty places a kiss to his wife's temple, his hand running up and down her arm in a soothing motion. He knows the hormones are going to be off the charts and that paired with Finn being far away isn't helping any.
"So…you gonna finally tell us her name?"
A playful spark sets in the agent's eyes, having half a mind to keep the name from her parents until the get back to LA. "I dunno. What do you think, baby? Should we tell them?"
"Come on, we can't be there, at the very least we deserve to know her name." Julia pleads, as Finn continues to wave both hands at his parents.
"Fine." She relents, resting her head against her husband's shoulder, feeling a sudden wave of exhaustion was over her.
"Everyone meet Koa Madalyn Deeks."
Don smiles, it's an unusual name for sure, but seeing his baby girl so happy is something he'll never tire of. "Well that's certainly a unique name."
Marty's thumb finds his little girl's cheek as she sleeps blissfully. "Yeah, a unique name for a unique little girl."
Before anyone else can say anything the eldest Deeks child's lower lip begins to quiver before his little lungs being to belt out gut wrenching cries."Mama. Want mama."
Knowing that his could get worse before it gets better Don sends the couple a sad smile as Julia gets up with her grandson, moving around in hopes to calm him down. "We better go."
"Okay, we'll be home in a few days."
"Bye, baby."
"Mamaaaaa."
"Bye, buddy." Marty stands up from the side of the bed, reaching for the mouse. "Bye, guys. We'll get home as soon as we can."
Don can see the pain in the lawyer's eyes. He knows what the young man is going through and will do anything to ease the pressure off the man who's like a son to him. "Don't worry. You just take care of your girls and we'll take care of your boy."
"Thanks, dad."
"We love you all."
"We love you too." With one last wave goodbye, Marty click the end call button before turning back to his wife. His heart immediately breaks as he watches the tears run down her cheeks.
"We shouldn't have left him."
"Baby, he's fine. Your mom and dad are taking good care of him."
Handing off Koa to her daddy as she rearranges, Kensi scoots back against her pillow and relaxes back into the mattress before taking the new born back into her arms. "I know. I just really miss him."
"So do I, but we can't do anything about that right now other than wait."
She knows he's right. They'll be back at home with both their kids before they know it, but right now she can't do anything about it so she might as well relax and enjoy the time she does have with two of her loves. "Will you do something for me?"
"Anything."
"Come cuddle with us?"
As her trademark chocolate puppy eyes cross her features, he can't help but fall even more hopelessly in love with her. "I thought you'd never ask." Smiling, he crawls up next to her and once situated, she hands off their girl to her daddy again.
His arm wraps around her shoulders as she curls further into his side. She hums in delight as his lips find the top of her head and then Koa's. "I love you, Marty. I love you so much."
Marty leans his head against his love's, a contented sigh releasing from his lips. Never in his wildest dreams did he think his life would be this wonderful. "I love you too, baby. Even more so now than ever before." His eyes follow down to his daughter's tiny fingers that are wrapped around Kensi's slender one. "Thank you for giving me the most beautiful life."
As sleep begins to take her under she lets out a contented sigh of her own. "Better than I could've ever dreamed."
