A/N: I decided to change the date of the wedding to April 29. My story takes place in 2016/2017 and in 2017 April 26 was on a Wednesday, so I changed it to April 29.
Callen and Sam looked around them as they grabbed their guns. They noticed that a LAPD officer was down. They looked around and saw that the surfers each had a gun in their hands.
"Federal agents! Put the guns down!" Callen yelled as he and Sam pointed their weapons at them.
They wanted to shoot at Callen and Sam but they were faster and shot them, making them go down on the ground. They quickly went over to them and cleared them of their weapons. Both were hit in the arm. The EMT's were quickly at the scene and they took the LAPD officer that was shot to the hospital. He needed surgery. Both shooters were patched up before Callen and Sam took them to the boatshed.
As the surfers were being patched up Callen and Sam looked at the body. Callen found something in his pocket. It was a piece of paper. Callen opened it and there was some writing on it.
"What do you have G?" Sam questioned.
"It think this guy was a federal agent." Callen read the note. "This is what happens when you send someone in to infiltrate our operations."
"Not good."
"No, not good."
Once the surfers where patched up Sam and Callen took them to the boatshed. Callen put one in the downstairs interrogation room and Sam took the other to the other interrogation room.
"You can't keep me here! You shot me! I need medical attention!" The guy complained to Callen.
"You'll live. You're in very big trouble," Callen replied as he sat down on the chair. "You shot a LAPD officer at a crime scene! Not your best move buddy. Why did you do it huh? Did you have something to do with the dead body? Figure if you were the ones that found him we wouldn't suspect you? Very bad move. Now you best tell us what you know. We're interrogating your buddy too, guess what happens if you talks before you do. Who do you think will get the better deal?"
"I want a lawyer."
"You best choice is to cooperate with us."
"Lawyer."
"Find suit yourself. But you're not getting out of here before you talk to us," Callen said and he stood up to leave the room.
"You can't leave me in here, I need medical attention."
"You've already had medical attention."
"No man, I need a hospital."
"You'll live," Callen spoke and he left the room. Just as Callen walked into the main room Sam walked in too. "Did your guy talk?"
"Nope, kept telling me he needed to go to the hospital."
"Mine too. Who are these guys?"
"I have no idea but they are involved somehow, otherwise they wouldn't have started shooting."
"Yeah, I already got a weird vibe from them when we talked to them."
"Yeah me too."
Eric's face popped up on the screen. "Hey guys," Eric spoke.
"Hey Eric, did you find out who the two guys are?" Callen asked.
"Yeah, their names are Pablo Sanchez and Javier Salazar. They both have connection to a Mexican cartel," Eric spoke as he put the ID's on the screen.
"After you send us that note we looked into federal agents and cops who have people undercover. We were able to ID our victim. His name is Bob Stevens, he is one of us."
"He's NCIS?" Callen questioned.
"Yes he is Mr. Callen," Hetty spoke as she appeared on the screen. "He was working an undercover case in Mexico trying to infiltrate a cartel. The cartel was suspected of having stolen military grade weapons. He was undercover with a DEA agent. I had contact with the DEA office and they have not heard of their agent. He missed his check-in last night. Now given what has happened to our agent it doesn't look good for the DEA agent."
"We'll find out what happened Hetty. We have two men in custody who know more but they refuse to talk."
"Keep at it gentlemen, we need to find out what happened and if the DEA agent is still alive."
"Have Kensi and Deeks found anything at the rental company?"
"No, they paid in cash and just rented the car for a day," Nell said. "We haven't had any luck getting their faces on camera."
"Someone from NCIS and someone from the DEA are coming to the boatshed to brief you all on the case," Hetty spoke.
"Alright, keep searching, maybe we'll get lucky," Callen said before he cut the feed.
A little later two agents showed up at the boatshed and they briefed Callen and Sam on the case. They had no idea if the DEA agent was still alive.
"Mind if we question your suspects?" The DEA agent asked.
"Have at it. They didn't talk to us," Callen replied.
The NCIS agent went to the guy in the downstairs interrogation room and the DEA agent went to the other. Callen and Sam watched the feed from the main room. The two suspects didn't talk to them either. As the two agents stepped back into the main room Eric's face popped up on screen.
"What's up Eric?" Callen asked.
"NCIS just received this video. It is concerning the DEA agent."
"Play it," Sam said.
Eric played the video and they saw a heavily beaten man sitting on the chair.
"Oh god, that's Jay," the DEA agent spoke.
A man appeared on the screen with a bandana in front of his mouth. He spoke with a heavy Spanish accent. "As you probably know by now you saw what we do with people trying to infiltrate our operations. And now we've noticed you sent in two. Are you really that stupid?! You've just killed two of your agents. This one is still alive. We're gonna have some fun with him first before we kill him. I'll send you the video once it over so you can enjoy it. Hopefully you'll get that message and don't send anyone else in. It won't work, they'll end up like the others."
The feed cut out.
"Eric, see what you can find out about that video. See if you can find a location," Callen spoke.
"On it," came the reply from the tech and he cut the feed.
"We've gotta find him before it's too late," the DEA agent spoke.
"We will sir," Sam told him. "Do you know how they got made?"
"No, Jay's last check-in was just normal. He didn't suspect that anything was wrong. Maybe he was followed or something, I don't know. He didn't speak of it during our last contact."
"What about Bob?" Callen asked the NCIS agent.
"No, nothing either. Everything was going according to plan. He was earning the trust of the others and they let him do more and more. I have no idea how they could have found out."
"We need a list of all the people who had access to this case, maybe you have a mole."
"I doubt that," the DEA agent spoke.
"You might not but we need to check everything out," Sam said.
Callen and Sam stayed at the boatshed to keep contact with the two other agents. A little later Eric and Nell's faces popped up on screen again.
"What do you have?" Sam asked.
"We have a location of where the video was shot," Eric said. "It's a warehouse just across the border, on the outside of Tijuana." Eric showed the location on the map.
"That's one of the places we suspect belongs to the cartel," the NCIS agent spoke.
"Do you know if they are still there?"
"There aren't any cameras in the area but I did get heat signatures. According to that six people are in the building."
"Alright, tell Hetty we're gonna need a chopper."
A little later Callen, Sam, Kensi, Deeks, the NCIS and DEA agent boarded the chopper and flew to Mexico. An hour and a half later they were in Mexico. They landed a little outside the city and they were picked up by some DEA agents of the Mexico office and some NCIS agents of the San Diego office. They quickly made a plan before going to the warehouse. They checked the surroundings before they moved to breached. Sam and Callen went to the front with some more agents as Kensi and Deeks went to the back with some agents.
"Move in on my count," Callen spoke. "Three, two, one."
They all breached with their rifles drawn.
"Federal agents!" They yelled.
They immediately had to duck away from flying bullets. Whenever they could they fired back. After a few minutes of heavy gunfire all the bad guys were down. With their weapons drawn the agents walked closer. Callen and Sam went to check out the rest of the building. They found the DEA agent in a closed room, heavily beaten.
"Get the paramedics in here," Sam shouted.
The paramedics were standing by outside already but waited until it was cleared. They quickly came in and took the DEA agent away. The bad guys who were still alive were taken away as well. In the warehouse they found the military grade weapons and the drugs.
Once everything was wrapped up the DEA thanked them for their assistance and they flew back to LA.
"Well done everyone," Hetty spoke as they walked in. "I just got word that agent Jay Williams will make a full recovery and the LAPD officer that was shot at the beach will be fine as well."
"That's good to know," Sam stated.
The agents finished up the paperwork before going back home. When Callen pulled up to the house Joelle was already there.
"Hey honey," Callen spoke as he walked in.
"Hey G, I'm in the kitchen."
Callen walked to the kitchen where Joelle was preparing dinner. "Hey baby."
"Hey honey."
Callen walked up to Joelle and gave her a kiss. "Hey my little guy," Callen spoke to Joelle's stomach and gave it a kiss. "How was your day today?"
"It was just fine, not too busy. How about yours?"
"Fine too, we had to go to Mexico briefly but everything turned out well."
"That's good. Dinner is almost ready."
"That's great, it smells delicious."
Callen gave Joelle one more kiss before he went to set the table.
…
That weekend they went over to the wedding venue to look at it. They already had the option for April twenty-nine but they still could say no to it if they didn't like the venue. But it looked very beautiful in the pictures so they were sure it would be just fine. The venue looked even better in the pictures. They would have the ceremony outside and the reception inside. It was so beautiful. Callen and Joelle could totally see themselves getting married here. They went over the things with the coordinator in terms of flowers, decorations, dinner, snacks and such. It would be totally beautiful, Callen and Joelle were sure of that. After they had gone over everything Callen and Joelle went back home. They could come by the venue again early April to make sure everything would be perfect.
"That was really beautiful," Callen stated once they were in the car. "It's just gonna be perfect."
"Yeah it will be. My friend had her wedding there and it was just so beautiful. I immediately knew I wanted to get married there. It will look so beautiful."
"Yes it will and we'll be getting married," Callen spoke as he flashed her a smile.
"Yes we will." Joelle smiled back. "With our little boy there."
"Yeah, it's gonna be beautiful. Maybe he can even take a few steps by someone's hand then."
"Yeah perhaps, that would be so cute, him in his cute little suit."
"Oh yes, just perfect."
Once home they had some sat at the dinner table to make invitations. They made their own invitations and RSVP cards. The invitations were white with on the sides some butterflies and flowers. In the middle stood the text:

It was just perfect. They really looked beautiful. They ordered from the same series also reception invitations card for Joelle's colleagues and RSVP cards for everyone so they would know how many people would attend. Everyone at the ceremony was also invited for the reception. Callen and Joelle both liked how they looked.
...
Today Joelle had another doctor's appointment. She was now twenty five weeks pregnant. Joelle was already on Summer holiday. It was now the end of June. Callen had to work two more weeks and then he would have three weeks off. School would start again on August sixteen. Joelle would work for a few more weeks then before going on maternity leave starting September fifth, she was due on October eight.
Joelle had made the appointment late in the afternoon. Luckily Callen was off already so he went with her.
"Hey honey," Callen greeted her as he walked into the waiting room. They drove here separately since Callen came straight from work.
"Hey baby," Joelle greeted him back.
Callen sat down next to Joelle and gave her a kiss and gave her stomach a kiss too. "How was your day?"
"It was just fine, did some grocery shopping and just relaxed around the house."
"That's good."
"How about yours?"
"Just the usually, nothing exciting."
A few minutes later they were called into the office. Callen helped Joelle onto the bed.
"Good afternoon, how are we feeling today?" The doctor asked.
"We're doing just fine," Joelle answered.
"Why don't you lay down so I can examine you."
Joelle lay down on the bed as the doctor got everything ready. She put the wand on Joelle's stomach and she and Callen immediately saw their little boy on the screen and heard his heartbeat. Callen and Joelle both looked at the screen. It was so beautiful to see their little baby like that, they both couldn't wait to meet him.
"Is everything okay doctor?" Joelle asked.
"Yes everything is fine. He's growing nice and big and everything looks good."
Callen and Joelle were very pleased to hear that. The doctor took Joelle's vitals and weight. She gave them a picture of the ultrasound and Joelle made an appointment for two weeks from now and one for four weeks after that. She would have another appointment before they would leave for vacation and then another when her doctor would be back from vacation.
Once home Joelle added the picture in the baby book. She had put all the ultrasound pictures in there. It was so nice to see their baby growing. Everything at the house was ready for the little guy's arrival. Joelle just hoped Callen wouldn't be away on a case when she would go into labor, she needed him there then. Once Callen had made dinner they sat down outside to eat.
"Are you sure you're okay to go on vacation? We can still cancel it," Callen said.
"I'll be fine honey. If something gets too much for me I will tell you."
"Okay. This will probably be the last time it's just you and me on vacation. Unless we go on a honeymoon, the two of us."
"I don't know, I haven't really thought about that yet. I don't know if I can then, leave our little boy here while we go on a honeymoon."
"Yeah, that probably will be hard. But it would be nice. But we can always decide it then. There's always something available. Or maybe we'll make it a nice family vacation."
"Yeah, but I'll have to wait till the summer cus I don't have any more vacations until June sixteen."
"Yeah me neither. I have three weeks off in July, just like this year."
"Yeah, we'll see it then if we go somewhere."
….
Joelle was now twenty-seven weeks pregnant. It was Friday now and she had another doctor's appointment late in the afternoon. Sunday they would leave for their vacation. They had decided to stay close by so they could drive instead of fly.
"Well I'm off," Callen stated as he packed up his stuff. "I'll see you all after the holidays."
"Yeah see you," came the reply from Kensi, Deeks and Sam.
"Going somewhere?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, Joelle and I are going away for two weeks, just relax."
"How's she doing?" Kensi asked.
"She's doing just fine. The little baby is growing nice and big and they are both still very healthy."
"That's good to hear."
"Well enjoy your holidays everyone."
Callen grabbed his stuff and left. He drove to the doctor's office where he would meet Joelle. The doctor checked Joelle and the baby and everything was still going very well.
..
Around 10am on Sunday they left for their holidays. Callen made sure that everything was in the car.
"Did you grab my pregnancy pillow G?" Joelle called as Callen loaded the last few things in the car.
"Yes honey I have that, everything's in the car. Don't worry, we've got everything."
"Alright."
Callen went to lock up before they got in the car. Callen pulled out of the driveway and drove off.
