Chapter 7

7 weeks later, came Kensi's 20 week scan. Kensi and Deeks luckily we're able to get an appointment during their lunch so they didn't have to have Roberta write a note as to why they missed school.

Once they got there, they sat down in the waiting area and talked more about their life together.

"So, what happens after we graduate?" Kensi asked.

"I want to go to school. It's always been a big priority of mine. What about you?" Deeks announced.

"I want to go to school as well. We could probably work something out. You go to night school, I go during the day, and someone's always home with Ocean."

"What about work? At least one of us has to have a job. We have to be able to provide for Ocean and pay the bills, too."

"Yeah, I know. We also have to find a place. And start buying supplies. And get health insurance. And look into daycares and schools. God, there is so much we have to do." She said, getting overwhelmed.

"Baby, it'll be fine. We'll figure it out."

"Deeks, we only have 20 weeks or less until Ocean is here. We still have so much to do."

"20 weeks is 5 months. 5 months is a long time. Plenty of time for me to get a job, and figure out everything that's important for raising a child. Hopefully, my mom will let us stay with her while we're in school so we won't have to worry about paying rent or electricity and utilities. We will probably have to pay for groceries, but everything else will be ok. Until you're 18, we'll be able to piggyback off of her health insurance and so will Ocean. I'm looking for jobs right now so we don't have to worry about that until we graduate. Once Ocean is born, you can get a job so we can pay for a nanny or daycare. Everything else will work itself out or we'll figure it out along the way. Ok?" Deeks explained.

Kensi sighed and then said, "ok."

The couple sat in silence for awhile until a nurse called Kensi's name.

"Oh my god. Deeks." Kensi gasped, as she grabbed his arm.

"What? What's wrong?" Deeks asked, a little panicked.

"That's my mom." She whispered.

"Who?"

"The nurse."

"Oh."

"I can't talk to her. She can't know who I am."

"Babe, she knows your name. She already knows who you are."

"I know, but still."

"It'll be fine. Just don't talk to her."

"Fine." She sighed.

Deeks and Kensi walked hand-in-hand into the back of the office, and into their room.

Kensi whispered something into Deeks' ear and Deeks said: "I'm sorry, but can we get another nurse?"

"I'm afraid you can't. All of our other nurses are with other patients right now."

Deeks looked over at Kensi, and she just stared down at her lap.

"Ok, getting along with everything. My name is nurse Julia."

"Nice to meet you." Deeks said, trying to make things as normal as possible.

"I'm assuming you're the father."

"Yes."

"Ok, Ms. Blye, how many weeks are you."

"I'm 20 weeks." Kensi said, finally looking up from her lap.

"How old are you?"

"I'm 16."

"Ok. Let's get your height and weight."

Kensi hopped off the table and stepped into the scale. Kensi was weighing 135, which was only 5 pounds above her baseline. She was 5"10 so that was a normal weight, but not necessarily for someone who was already halfway through their pregnancy.

"So you're a little bit below what we'd expect for this far along. It's ok, but you just need to make sure that you're eating enough to sustain a healthy pregnancy. The doctor can talk to you more about that when she gets in."

"I know who you are." Kensi blurted out.

"Excuse me?" Julia said, acting clueless.

"Don't act dumb."

"I figured if I didn't bring anything up, things would be less awkward." She admitted.

"Well, things are still awkward. And I'm still mad at you. I still blame you. You cheated on dad and then tried to take me away from him. Well, he's dead, so I guess you got your wish." She said bitterly.

"Kensi, I'm so sorry. I never meant for things to go how they did. I just wanted what was best for you."

"It's too late for apologies. I'm done. Deeks, let's go." Kensi said as she hoped off the table.

"Wait, Kensi. Please don't go. Just let me explain myself."

Kensi stopped walking toward the door, and waited for what she was going to say next.

"Your father and I were getting a divorce. You know when we said we were going to couples therapy? Well we were actually going to a lawyer to finalize the divorce. I didn't cheat on him. I did find someone else though. I fell in love with someone else, but I still loved your father."

"That doesn't change the fact that you practically kidnapped me and tried to take me to Boston."

"Kensi, you're my daughter. I wanted you to come with me."

"But you knew that I didn't want to go with you. I wanted to stay with dad."

"I don't know what else you want me to tell you. I was trying my best."

"Well it wasn't good enough."

"Kensi, I want to repair our relationship. I want to make things better. You're still my daughter and I'm still your mother."

"I don't have time to repair this, and I really don't want to."

"Do you still love?"

"No, I don't. I stopped loving you the day you took me away my my father. I have to go." Kensi walked to rest of the way to the door, and then left the room. Deeks followed close behind.

"Are you ok?" Deeks asked, as they sat in the car.

"I'm fine." She lied.

"Baby, I know fine doesn't mean fine. How're you really?"

"I'm pissed that she thought she could just waltz back into my life and act like nothing happened. She broke my heart and she broke my father's heart. She's not my mother anymore. She lost that right."

"You don't even want to try to give her a second chance?"

"Deeks, I don't have time for second chances right now."

"I know, but still."

"I don't want a relationship with her, end of story."

"Ok."

"Can you just take me home? I don't want to go back to school."

"Sure. I don't really want to go back either so we can just have a lazy day at home." Deeks said as he put the car in gear and drove off.
