Immediately flashes of his comatose dream appeared in front of his eyes. Callen accelerated so his car was on the right side of Joelle's car, just in case. The speeding car just past behind them. Luckily Sam had seen it too, Sam was driving the van, and he hit the brake. The speeding car did miss Callen's and Joelle's car but it crashed against a car coming from the other direction. The speeding car hit the tail of that car, sending it spiraling over the intersection. The speeding car crashed into a parked car. Callen and Joelle had seen what had happened so they stopped their cars. Callen got out of his car and immediately went to Joelle.

"You okay Jo?" Callen asked concerned as he checked her over.

"Yeah, I'm good. You?"

"I'm good to."

Callen watched as Kensi and Deeks made their way over to the speeding car, weapons drawn. Sam made his way over to the car that got hit. A little later there were paramedics, firemen and cops on the scene. After giving their statement everyone got back in their cars and drove off. Callen and Joelle carried some stuff inside but left all the heavy stuff to the others. Callen and Joelle felt bad for not being able to help so much but the others assured them it wasn't a problem. Kensi, Nell, Michelle and Eric stayed at the new house while Sam and Deeks drove between the houses to pick up stuff. The stuff that they had bought had already been delivered. Eric was busy hooking their electronics up. They hung the TV up above the fireplace and put the couch directly across from it, just down the steps leading into the living area. The matching arm chair was placed in the right corner, right of the fireplace. The coffee table stood in between the couch and fireplace and the side table stood next to the arm chair. There was a small piece of living area leading towards the kitchen, they put the half round table with mirror above it against the wall of the stairs and the console table was placed against the long wall left of the front door with the bouquet paintings above it. The dining table with chairs was placed directly down from the front door, down in the kitchen area, the kitchen was to the right. The bed was placed immediately right of the door across from the build-in closet, with the nightstands on either side of the bed and the curtains were hung up in front of the windows. The wardrobe they had in their old bedroom was placed in spare bedroom, the one above the living area. The stuff for the nursery was put in the bedroom partly above the garage. The crib was put around the corner, parallel to the wall with the door in it. The closet stood immediately right of the door with the backside against the right wall. The hoop glider stood in the right far corner, the changing table stood behind the closet and was underneath the window and the storage cabinet stood at the back wall, right across from the crib.

Sam was busy out front putting a wooden frame up for the porch swing. Their porch, in front of the window, wasn't covered so Sam was building a wooden frame to hang the porch bench swing on. Sam built the frame near the end of the porch, on the right front side of the house. Callen was busy with decorating the front side of the house. They had bought some plants as well so Callen filled the planters with dirt and then the plants. He hung the half round planter basket on the outside wall of the garage, left of the front door. He hung the basket just above the mail box. The two butterflies were hung up against the wall as well, one a bit down the left upper corner and the other one below that and a little to the right. The welcome sign was placed against the right beam of the covered doorway. On the windowsill Callen placed the white tiger cub sculpture and the three yellow planters with plants in them. In the backyard Deeks and Kensi were putting up the conversation and dining set. They put the dining set underneath the covert patio and the conversation set was placed, from behind the house, the right side of the house near the pool with the umbrella covering the conversation set. The log with turtles, the deer with fawn and the squirrel statues were placed on the edge of the wall of the garden near the pool. Callen and Joelle already had some planters and pots in their old house so Kensi and Deeks were busy putting those around the yard and also the wooden wheelbarrow.

Inside Joelle and Nell were busy unpacking the boxes of the kitchen. Nell had cleaned the kitchen and was helping Joelle put the heavier stuff in the cupboards and the stuff on the higher shelves.

Around six everyone sat down to the eat the pizzas that had been ordered and the last few things were put in the right place or unpacked. There were still some things left but Callen and Joelle could do that themselves. Callen and Joelle thanked everyone for their help before they went home.

"Well this is nice," Callen stated as they sat on the couch together.

"Yeah it is. The house looks really nice."

"Yeah it really does. I'm really happy to be here with you."

"Me too G, me too."

Callen sat on the part of the couch with the ottoman and Joelle lay in between his legs, with her back against Callen's chest.

"You okay honey? Today wasn't too much for you?" Callen asked.

"No it was just fine. I didn't do any heaving lifting."

"Alright that's good."

"Can't believe we almost got hit today by that stupid car when we were driving here."

"Yeah, stupid driver," Callen replied, immediately having flashes of his comatose dream.

"Yeah, he was crazy. Luckily no one really got hurt." Joelle said but Callen was too deep in thought. Joelle turned around a bit so she could face Callen. "G?" Callen didn't respond. "Grisha, you okay?"

Callen shook out of his trance. "Yeah I'm good."

"What's going on honey?"

"Nothing, I'm fine. It's nothing."

"Something is clearly bothering you, I can tell. What's going on honey? You can tell me anything."

Callen sighed deeply. He really didn't want to tell Joelle about the comatose dream he had but it was still bugging him. "Remember when I woke up in the hospital and said I thought I had this dream where I thought I had lost you and our little boy."

"Yeah, I remember that but don't worry honey, that's not gonna happen."

"I hope so, I just can't help but still picture the dream sometimes. Like this morning when we almost had that car accident."

"What does a car accident have to do with you comatose dream?"

Maybe talking about it would help him get rid of the images. "Well, my dream happened after the shooting as well. You had stayed with Sam as well but in my dream you were the one suggesting to move. I agreed to move but as we were looking at houses I somehow always found something wrong with the house. You confronted me with it. We had a fight and you left. You got in your car and I followed you. We drove across an intersection and another car crashed against your car sending you rolling over the street and you ended up against a pole. I quickly got out of the car and made my way over to you, you were unconscious. Before I knew it paramedics were at the scene and they worked on you. I stood there watching, hoping you two would be alright. Then….." Callen spoke tears forming in his eyes.

"What happened G? You can tell me honey."

"They couldn't safe you or the baby anymore. You had both died. I was so angry at that moment that I shot and killed the driver of the other car and I ended up in jail."

"Oh honey."

"I have no idea why I had that kind of dream. I honestly have no idea. The last thing about the dream I remember is being in jail with my eyes closed then the next minute I was in the hospital and I saw you lying there on the couch. I was so relieved you and our little boy were alright. I really thought I had lost you two."

Joelle placed her hand on his cheek. "We're still here honey, both me and our little boy are doing fine. You haven't lost us and you're not going to lose us."

"I don't want that to happen but when we were at the intersection this morning and I saw that car speeding your way I got so scared that the comatose dream was coming true."

"I get that honey but we're both okay. We're still here, nothing happened. I promise you I'll be careful in traffic okay. Your dream won't come true. It was just a bad comatose dream you had."

"I don't understand why I had that kind of dream. I don't want anything like that to happen."

"Sometimes we dream about the strangest things, that doesn't make them real. Both me and our little boy are fine honey, nothing is gonna happen to us."

"I'm really glad to have you two in my life and I don't want anything to happen to you. And I'm really happy to be living here in this new house with you."

"Is it because of the comatose dream that you suggested we'd move?"

"Yeah sorta, I had been thinking about it before everything happened as well. But yeah I did ask you then because of the dream I had. Trust me, I wanted to move and I wanted you to know I really wanted to so I asked you. I really want this honey, I'm glad we have this house. It's a perfect family home for us, our little boy will be very happy here. It was the next logical step. Don't worry honey, I really want this. I didn't just do it because of the dream I had."

"Okay good and yeah it's the perfect family home. Our little boy will grow up nicely here."

Callen looked down lovingly at Joelle. Joelle was hanging back in his arms with her face towards him. "I love you Jo," Callen spoke in a passionate voice.

"I love you too G."

"I'm really happy here with you and our little boy and to be your husband soon."

Joelle sat up a bit and kissed Callen. Callen held her tighter and kissed her back. He loved this woman so much and he was very happy to be here with her and their little boy. He couldn't wait to meet the little guy. They just watched some TV before going to bed. Joelle was already in bed when Callen joined her.

"Our first night in our new home," Callen spoke as he crawled closer to Joelle.

"Yes it is," Joelle replied with a smile.

"How about we Christen this house?" Callen suggested with a cheeky voice.

"Oh, I like the way you think."

Callen kissed Joelle and clothes were discarded and thrown across the room. Exhausted after a few rounds they lay on the bed after getting dressed into their pajamas and they fell asleep.

The next day they unpacked the rest of the boxes. Callen hung up the curtains in the living area, the holes had already been made and the pole ends had been hung on the wall, the curtain just had to be put on the pole and then the pole needed to be put in the pole ends. The four canvas arts of the Eiffel tower, Colosseum, Sistine chapel and tower of Pisa were hung up against the wall on the landing of the stairs and the two palm trees paintings were hung up against the wall between the front door and the front window. They already had some decorations in their old house so they placed those around the house. They really liked how the house looked. The spare bedroom, the one just above the living area, they used as a storage and washing room. The washing machine and dryer stood downstairs in the garage but they would use this room to dry the wash and iron/fold them. They finished unpacking the last of the boxes. They really liked how the house looked. They couldn't wait for their little boy to join them here.

After dinner they went to Kmart to buy some more stuff. They went to the Kmart in Long Beach, it was open till 10pm so they had some time. They bought a furniture of America tressa modern dark wood vanity set with stool for in their bedroom, a Dorel home furnishings Emily chaise lounge in navy colors for in the bedroom, a prepac white entryway cubbie shelf with coat rack, an essential home family collage wall picture frame, a Crystocraft orchid butterfly figurine, a Cyrstocraft mini doves and heart figurine, a Crystocraft five tulips in crystal vase figurine, a watercolor striped wooden tray, two small white vases with blue and green mosaic on it and an illuminate fragrance wax warmer Americana.

They dropped by the baby department too.

"Aww look how cute G," Joelle spoke as she looked through the baby clothes.

"Yeah, they are so cute. We can buy some clothes already, we know it's gonna be a boy so."

"Yeah, they all look so cute, all these clothes."

"Yeah they do. Our little boy will look great in them."

They bought a footed white pajama with bear paws on them and bears on the feet, a grey pajama with Mickey Mouse on the shirt with lil' man in charge and a white, green, grey and blue striped pants and in the same print a hat with a little Mickey Mouse on it, a white footed pajamas with blue ends and circus animals on it, a button down grey blouse with pineapples on it with a pair of blue shorts and in the same print as the blouse a cap, a gray, white and blue plaid shortalls with a Mickey Mouse on it and a blue shirt, a Gerber infant's 5-pack bodysuits with bears, a 3-pack Mickey Mouse bodysuit, a red bodysuit with daddy's little dude on it, white plush baby slippers with a bear on it, a Gerber newborn boy's 5-pack beanie hats cute, a Mickey Mouse 2-packs bibs, a Gerber infants 3-pack terry bibs cutie, a bear rattle, a plush hedgehog and plush tiger, a baby essentials infant boy's twelve picture collage picture frame with animals on it and in the middle a round frame with the text my first year and around that eleven pictures frames , one for each month, a magic years baby's hand and foot print kit with two round picture frames and a wavery baby by trend lab two picture frames, one with animals and one with animal prints. They went to the register and paid for everything. The vanity set and chaise lounge would be delivered to their house in two weeks. The other stuff they could take home already.

Callen loaded everything in the bags and put them in the car. Once home they took the stuff inside and put everything away. The Crystocraft figurines they placed on the console table alone with the wooden tray. On the wooden tray they placed the two small white vases and the wax warmer. The tulip figurine was a glass-like metallic vase with five tulips in it with each a different color gem in it. The butterfly figurine was a glass-like metallic butterfly on a sort of stick with purple gems in the upper wings and purple and pink gems on the bottom wings and two pink gems on the feelers. The doves figurine was a glass-like metallic figurine with two doves with light pink gems in their belly standing on an open heart with a pink/red gem in it. The coat rack they hung up just left of the front door against the long wall.

The next morning Callen was up early since he had go back to work again.

"You sure you're good to go back to work again?" Joelle asked as they were getting dressed.

"Positive, I feel fine. I do have a checkup with the doctor this morning but I'm sure he'll clear me."

"Alright, just take it easy."

"I will honey, I promise."

"Okay good."

They went downstairs and had breakfast together before leaving the house.

"Text me when you're done with your checkup," Joelle spoke as they were walking to their cars.

"I will honey." Callen gave Joelle a kiss. "Have a good day honey." Callen bent down and placed a kiss on Joelle's stomach. "Bye little baby, be good to mommy today." Callen gave Joelle another kiss. "Bye honey."

"Bye baby."

They both got in their cars and drove away. Callen first went to the hospital to have a checkup. He was cleared for work again so after the doctor's appointment he drove to work after sending Joelle a text.

"Morning," Callen spoke as he walked into the bullpen, the others were there already.

"Morning," Sam, Kensi and Deeks replied.

"Cleared for work?" Sam asked.

"Yep go to go again. Anything exciting happen while I was gone?"

"Nah not much. How's the new house?"

"It's just perfect. We bought some more stuff yesterday and finished unpacking and hanging up the last things. It's just perfect. I'm really happy to be living there together with Joelle."

"I'm happy for the two of you."

"Thanks."

Suddenly they heard Eric's whistling on the top of the stairs. "Hey Callen, welcome back."

"Hey Eric."

"We have a case everyone."

They all got up and walked up to the OPS.

"Hey Callen, welcome back," Nell greeted him.

"Hey Nell, it's good to be back. What do we have?"

"Surfers found this body on the beach early this morning," Eric spoke as he put a few pictures on the screen.

"No blood around the body so probably a body dump," Deeks stated.

"You are correct. We looked at the cameras, luckily there was one in the parking lot closest to this point." Eric played the camera footage. "As you can see a car pulls up and two men drag the body over to the beach. Now unfortunately they never show their faces on camera and the car was a rental and no ID on our victim yet."

"Kensi, Deeks, you guys check out the rental company. Sam and I will check out the crime scene. Eric, Nell, see what you can find out more about these guys. See where they came from, maybe we get lucky and they show their faces or who this guy on the beach it."

"You got it," the tech replied.

With everyone knowing what to do they went to work. Callen and Sam got in Sam's car and drove to the beach.

"So how's Joelle doing?" Sam asked as they were driving.

"She's doing just fine. We've actually set a wedding date, April twenty-six but you'll get an official invitation for that."

"That's great. I'm happy for you two."

"Thanks, I really am happy with her. I can't wait to meet the little baby."

"It's really special G, there's nothing like seeing your baby for the first time."

"I just hope I don't screw it up."

"You won't G, you can always ask me for advice and I'll be there to kick your ass if you do screw up," Sam spoke with a smile.

"Thanks Sam," Callen replied with a smile.

Sam parked his car near the beach and they walked onto the crime scene after showing their credentials. LAPD had done a canvas of the neighborhood, hoping somebody had seen something last night but no luck. The surfers that found the body didn't know anything more. Callen and Sam looked at the surfer suspiciously as they questioned them, something just seemed off about them. Sam told the LAPD officer to keep an eye on them as Callen and Sam went to inspect the body.

Suddenly they heard gunfire around them.
