A/N: Sorry for the delay. I had a busy day yesterday so couldn't finish and post it.


Callen picked the box up from the bin. He really couldn't believe what he had found. As he picked up the box he noticed that something was inside of it. He opened the box and pulled it out. He looked at it and then at the box again.

"No way," Callen spoke to himself.

He looks once more to make sure he had it right. He had! He was holding a positive pregnancy test! This meant that Joelle was pregnant. Pregnant with their baby? Was that the reason why she came back to him or did she just found out? Was it really his baby? They had only gotten back together, there was no way Joelle could have found out already that she had only gotten pregnant since they had been back together. Callen thought that it was probably too short to already find out since they had only been back together for like a week or so. The last time before that they had made love was New Year's Eve, that was eleven weeks ago. Could Joelle really just have found out she was pregnant after eleven weeks? Callen really didn't know anything about that, it seemed long to him but perhaps it could be or could she have slept with another man? They had only been separated for eleven weeks, in his eyes Joelle wasn't the person to just sleep around with anyone so perhaps she hadn't. If she really hadn't slept with anyone else this was probably his baby. Was he ready to have a baby? Were they ready? Were they ready to have a little baby in their lives? They had only gotten back together, would it be good to have a baby in their lives right now?

A millions things were going through Callen's mind right now. Something inside of him liked that Joelle was probably pregnant with his baby but he was also freaking out. He didn't know the first thing about babies, let alone raising them. He did think about it sometimes while he was with Joelle but he never really saw himself as a father. Would he be any good at it?

Suddenly he felt like someone was watching him. He turned towards the doorway and saw Joelle standing there. Joelle noticed he was holding the pregnancy test. They looked at each other, neither one nothing exactly what to say.

"Glad to have you back G," Joelle spoke after a while.

"It's good to be back but I found a little surprise in the bin."

"Yeah I can see that."

"Is this for real?"

"Yes it is for real and yes it is yours."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes absolutely. I went to the doctor as she said I'm eleven weeks pregnant. It must have happened the last time we slept together before we split up."

"And you only just found out now?"

"Yes I did. I swear I didn't know when I came back to you. I just found out when you were away."

"How can that be?"

"I'm not really feeling sick so far and the last two months I got my period but this month I didn't so I was wondering what was up so I decided to buy a pregnancy test. It was positive so I made an appointment with the doctor. She confirmed it and she said I'm eleven weeks pregnant and that it's possible to still get your period when you're pregnant. But it's absolutely sure that I'm pregnant and I'm absolutely sure it's yours. I didn't sleep with anyone while we were apart. I know we just got back together and we've never really talked about kids….."

Joelle stopped as Callen stepped forward and pulled her close to him. "I know we haven't Jo and I know it might be a bit soon after we've gotten back together and I have no idea how it's gonna be with a baby but I think this is a sign, a sign that we're meant to be together. We can make this work."

"You really think so?"

"Yes. I love you and I know we haven't talked about kids but I would love to have one with you. The timing might be a bit off but that doesn't mean this baby isn't welcome. I do have to admit I'm a little bit scared about becoming a father but we can handle this."

"It's only normal to be scared, I'm scared too but yeah we can handle this. We can be a lovely family."

"Yes we can."

Callen leaned forward and kissed Joelle. He walked her backwards towards the bedroom.

"Wait G, I have to use the toilet," Joelle spoke as she noticed Callen was walking her to the bedroom.

Callen walked to the bedroom as Joelle went to the bathroom. Callen took his clothes off and lay down on the bed. A little later Joelle joined him and Callen kissed her again. He rolled her on her back and lay down on top of her. As he was kissing her Callen took her pajamas off. He kissed down her body and stopped at her stomach. He still couldn't believe that their baby was actually inside of her. Callen peppered her stomach with kisses before Joelle pulled him back up and kissed him again. She turned him around and sat on his lap. She removed the last of their clothing and they made love.

"Wow, that was amazing," Callen uttered once they had finished and lay next to each other on the bed.

"Yeah it really was."

"It is just me or was it better now that your pregnant?"

"Oh no it was better. Everything is way more sensitive."

Callen turned on his side and faced Joelle as she did the same. "I still can't believe you're actually pregnant."

"I know me neither, I was so shocked when I found out and I was afraid of what you would think of it. I didn't know if you wanted it."

"I am surprised and shocked but I think it will be nice. I don't know the first thing about becoming a father, I never really had a role model but I'll do my best and with you, a teacher as the mommy, I'm sure it'll be fine."

"We'll be fine and you'll be amazing. I know it."

"I really hope so."

Joelle gave Callen one more kiss before she snuggled against him. Callen wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. He really still couldn't believe he was going to be a father. He really hoped he wouldn't screw it up. He never had a real family. It would be nice to have a family of his own and there was no one who he would love more to do that than Joelle.

Callen couldn't really sleep that night, his mind kept going over the baby, their baby, that Joelle was carrying and to everything that he had learned in Russia. He finally knew his name and his father and then he came home and discovered that Joelle was carrying his baby. It was a lot of information to process at once. Callen had just dozed off a bit when he was woken up by his alarm. He reached over to the nightstand and turned it off.

"Good morning G," Joelle spoke softly as stretched herself in Callen's arms.

"Good morning Jo." Joelle lifted her head up and Callen gave her a kiss. "I didn't imagine it last night right, you really are pregnant?"

"Yes I am," Joelle answered with a smile.

"Okay good. I am happy about it, it's a bit of a shock and an adjustment but I am happy about it."

"Me too. We'll be fine together."

"Yes we will."

Callen gave Joelle one more kiss before he went out. He dressed himself and had some breakfast. Just as he was about to leave Joelle came out of the bedroom, fully dressed. Callen gave Joelle one more kiss before he left.

It was just past 8am when Callen went to work. He went to the gym and changed himself in some sports clothes. He put some gloves on and went to the punching bag.

"What are you mad about?" Sam asked as he walked in a little later.

"Nothing," Callen spoke as he kept punching.

"Well clearly something is up. Everything okay at home? Joelle didn't leave again cus you had to go away for business?"

"No Joelle is still here."

"Than what's up?"

Callen stopped punching. "I had a little surprise last night when I got home, literally little."

"No way," Sam remarked, thinking he knew what Callen was talking about.

"That's exactly what I said when I found out."

"Did she tell you or did you find out?"

"When I got home Joelle was already in bed so I went to use the bathroom before going to bed as well. As I tossed something in the bin I noticed a box of a pregnancy test lying in the bin. I couldn't believe it so I picked it up and noticed the pregnancy test was inside. I pulled it out and it had been used. I checked the box to make sure I was seeing it right. Then I felt someone watching me and I noticed that Joelle was in the doorway. I could tell she wasn't expecting me to find it."

"So she is pregnant with your baby?"

"Yes she is. She told me she's eleven weeks pregnant, it must have happened during New Year's Eve."

"And she didn't know before?"

"No, she said she just found out. I mean is that even possible?"

"It is G, Michelle didn't know with Aiden until she was ten weeks. Her monthly thing was still happening and she wasn't feeling sick. It does happen G. You don't believe her?"

"I do believe her, I could tell she wasn't lying. It just seemed weird to me."

"It does happen G. Well I guess congratulations, or are you not happy about it?"

"Oh no I'm happy about it, it's just a bit shock."

"Yeah I can imagine that. I had that too when Michelle told me. But you'll be fine G. You're gonna be an amazing dad and I'll be there to kick your ass if you're not," Sam spoke with a smile.

"Thanks Sam."

"If you ever need any advice I'll be here for you."

"Thanks. I might take you up on that."

"Don't worry G, you're gonna do great. I'm happy for you and Joelle."

"Thanks yeah we were both shocked but we're happy about it."

"Yeah I can imagine. But hey, you have been together for about two years before you guys split. So you had a little break, you're back together now."

"Yeah I'm very happy about it. I just wasn't expecting this but I love Joelle and she loves me so we'll be okay."

"Yes you will be."

Callen went over to the bikes so Sam could use the punching machines. A little later Kensi and Deeks arrived too and they went to play a game of basketball.

Just past 5pm the agents left. Callen pulled out his phone and called Joelle.

"Hey G," Joelle answered the phone.

"Hey Jo, are you home already?"

"No, not yet, just wrapping some things up at work. I'll leave in about fifteen minutes I think."

"Ah okay, I'm already off. I'll drop by the store to get some dinner for us, okay?"

"Yeah that's fine. I'll see you at home then."

"Yes see you then."

Callen went to Target. As he walked through the store he walked past the baby department. Callen couldn't help but stop there.

"Can I help you sir?" A friendly sales assistant spoke to him.

"Uhm….."

"First kid?"

"Yeah, my girlfriend only told me yesterday she was pregnant. I walked by here and I just couldn't walk past it."

"Ah yes. Are you looking for something?"

"Yeah perhaps."

"Well if you want to buy something already we have a selection of unisex clothes so those would do. They are over here. You can also buy a book or some stuff animals or something. Something like a bodysuit or socks or slippers, that can always work. You can never have too many clothes. Just have a look around and if you have any questions you can always ask me."

"What kind of size do I need to get for a newborn?"

"There's the size newborn, which is nb on the label and 3M, those should work as the first clothes."

"Okay thank you."

Callen walked through the department. He picked out a pack with five bodysuits with frogs on them, all different bodysuits. He also took a footed with pajama with animals on it, a plush bear and a pair of white baby slippers with a bear head on it.

He went to grab some groceries and paid for everything before going home. Just as he pulled up to the house Joelle pulled up too.

"Hey Jo," Callen spoke once they had both gotten out of the car.

"Hey G."

Callen walked over to Joelle and gave her a kiss. "How was your day?"

"It was good. Kids were a little bit busy but it was okay. How was yours?"

"It was quiet. Nothing new so we just caught up and paperwork and old cases."

Callen carried the groceries inside and Joelle helped him put them away.

"Aww G, these are too cute," Joelle exclaimed when she saw the baby stuff Callen had bought.

"Yeah I walked past the baby department and I just couldn't help myself."

"They really are cute G. It's sweet of you." Joelle reached over to Callen and gave him a kiss.

Together they made dinner and they sat down at the dinner table once it was done.

"I told Sam already about the baby, I hope that's alright."

"Yeah that's fine. I told my parents already too."

"That's fine. How did they react?"

"They were surprised but they were very happy."

"That's good. When did you find out?"

"The day after you left and yesterday I had the doctor's appointment."

"And everything was okay?"

"Yes everything was just fine. Oh yeah, I got a picture already." Joelle stood up and went to her purse. She pulled the picture out, returned to the table and handed the picture to Callen. "It's still small but you can see it already."

Callen looked at the ultrasound put he couldn't really find it. "Where is it?" Callen showed the picture to Joelle and she pointed at the picture. "That little thing?"

"Yes, that little thing, that's the baby."

"It's so small."

"Yeah, I'm only eleven weeks so it's still small but the doctor said everything was looking good."

"That's good."

"If you want you can come with me when I have the next appointment."

"I can come with you?"

"Yes you can, I would love it if you would come with me."

"Alright, if I can with work I will definitely come with you."

"Great."

"When is your next appointment?"

"In four weeks, Thursday at 8am."

Callen grabbed his phone and put the appointment in his calendar so he wouldn't forget. After dinner they cleaned up and they sat outside on the porch, it was a beautiful spring day.

"G, can I ask you something?" Joelle asked.

"Of course, what's up?"

"I know you can't really talk about work stuff but I was just wondering what happened when you were away, it just seems like you're a bit different, that something is on your mind and not just the fact that you're becoming a father."

Callen was never really good at sharing. He had told Joelle some things about his personal life but not everything but maybe now was a good a time as any to start sharing with her, they were having a baby however and they were together again now.

"Did something happen while you were away? Something bad?"

"No it wasn't bad." Callen took a deep sigh. "You know I told you I have a bit of Russian background."

"Yeah, your father was Russian."

"Yes he was. I wasn't sure if he was still alive and then last year in May we went to Russia, we had a case there. While there I tried to find out some things, to see if maybe my father was still alive. My boss, looked into the matter and she found out he had changed his name and he lived in Ruza, a small town outside Moscow. We were both pretty sure that that man was my father. I learned that the man he had become had died in two thousand eight, I saw his grave. We had to go to Russia again now and we used a CIA safe house. The man that had the safe house turned out to be my father."

"Your father? So he's still alive?"

"Yeah he is."

"Wow, I guess that must have been a shock."

"Yeah it was. I couldn't believe it, that after all these years I finally met my father."

"Did he say something to you?"

"There wasn't much time to chat, we were busy with the case. But just before we left he told me my name."

"Your name? You finally know where the G stands for?"

"Yes I do. It's Grisha, my name is Grisha Aleksandrovich Nikolaev Callen."

"Grisha, that's a nice name. Is it Russian?"

"Yes it is. It's the Russian form or Gregory."

"Did he say anything else to you?"

"No, not much. He said he would tell it to me another time."

Joelle saw that it was hard for Callen. Joelle stood up and sat down on his lap. "It's okay G. You finally have some of the answers you have been searching for. You know your father and you know your name. That are two big answers. And you're not alone anymore. You have me now. You can tell me anything, I'm here for you."

"Move in with me," Callen spoke out of the blue.
