Chapter 9
Eric had went home after the rest of the agents did, by Hetty's persistence. But, at about two thirty in the morning he got an alert on his phone: Kaleidoscope had a hit on the van that had snatched Jacob.
So back to OPS Eric went.
In his polar bear pajamas.
The techie never liked being in the mission at night, alone. It was too strange, too quiet. Normally there were agents running around and the whole place was buzzing with activity.
There were very few people here; everyone either at home working or asleep, or were out in the field. The OSP agents were all meant to be sleeping. Eric wondered silently if they actually did, he figured with their lives it would probably be hard for them to catch sleep.
But apparently one Ms. Nell Jones was not having this problem.
As Eric walked into OPS he found Nell sitting at her desk, head perched on her fist; fast asleep. Her hair was messy and she had dark circles under her eyes, making him think she hadn't fallen asleep too long ago.
He smile slightly at the sight of her; she was kind of adorable when she was asleep.
Eric also thought she was adorable whilst awake, but that wasn't the point.
He was worried about her being here so late, she needed her sleep and she could not be comfortable sitting like that. Eric walked over and carefully shook her, not wanting to startle her.
Slowly Nell blinked her eyes open and smiled when she saw Eric standing there. "Hey, Eric." She yawned, sitting up and looking around.
"Hey there. You feel asleep, didn't you go home?" He inquired.
The analyst shook her head and rolled her neck. "No, I stayed here to work. I must've fallen asleep." Nell replied, running a hand through her hair; which only served to mess it up farther.
Eric chuckled quietly and carefully tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, not bothering to fix the rest of it; it was behind his help.
Nell's eyes widened a bit. "Oh gosh, it probably looks terrible doesn't it?" She asked worriedly.
Eric shook his head. "No, it's perfect." He replied.
Her cheeks flushed pink, and so did his. "So, what are you doing here, Beale? Nice pajamas." She smirked.
Eric laughed and looked at his pants. "Well I got a hit on Kaleidoscope while I was sleeping and I just kinda rushed here." He explained, sitting in his chair.
Nell smiled and nodded. "Ah, I see." And the two sat in silence for a moment.
"Mr. Beale, I heard we've found our van." Hetty said suddenly, appearing almost out of nowhere.
Eric jumped almost out of skin, and he placed a hand over his heart as he attempted to calm his breathing. "Hetty...I wasn't aware you were even here. But um... yea, we... the van... got it... you know... Kaleidoscope." Eric rambled.
Nell stifled her laugh. "Yea, Eric got a hit and came right in. Looks like the van is heading to a warehouse." She explained.
The small ninja woman nodded. "Right then, we'll need our team here then. I need to make a phone call." She told them, and turned and walked out of the OPS center.
Eric arched an eyebrow at Nell. "Scramble the agents?" He said.
"Scramble the agents." Nell nodded, and the two picked up the phones, dialing the senior agents first.
Deeks opened his eyes and glared at his phone, which was ringing far too loudly at far too late an hour in the night for his liking. He snatched it up however, just in case it was Kensi and she needed him.
It wasn't. It was Hetty.
"Ermm... uh, y-yea, it's Deeks." He answered as he tried to become fully conscious.
"Mr. Deeks. I apologize for calling you at so late an hour, but we have a lead in our case and we require all of our agents' presence." Hetty explained.
Deeks sat up and rubbed his face, thinking. "Um, Hetty wh-what about Leo? I obviously can't leave him here and I can't just go knocking on my neighbor's door this late." He objected.
"I understand, Mr. Deeks, which is why I am the one calling you and not Mr. Beale or Ms. Jones. You'll just have to bring him to the mission as well, and I'll make sure he's looked after." Hetty explained.
"Wait, so you want me to drag my son out into the night at almost three a.m.? He's asleep right now and he went to bed late last night, Hetty. Can't Callen, Sam, and..." Deeks trailed off before he said Kensi; he didn't like the thought of her out there without him.
And Callen and Sam would be partnered together and she'd have nobody.
That wasn't gonna work.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Deeks. But it is vital that all four of you are working on this case." Hetty replied sincerely.
It made the detective feel a bit better that Hetty was actually sorry; it wasn't like when he'd get late night calls from LAPD and they just didn't care if you were sleeping, sick, or whatever you were doing.
NCIS actually cared.
The thought made Deeks think about the paperwork sitting in his desk drawer; the ones that would make him an official agent. Every day he worked at NCIS got him closer and closer to signing those papers.
He just wasn't there yet.
"It might take me a bit to get there, I'll have to wake him up and get him ready." Deeks sighed slightly.
"Just get here as quick as you can, Mr. Deeks; that will suffice. Thank you." Hetty replied, and then she hung up.
Deeks quickly got out of bed and changed out of his sweats and prepared for the day; four hours earlier than he normally would even start to think about getting up, Deeks thought.
But that was the job. That was what they signed up for and agreed to do. He just wished it didn't involve disrupting his son's sleep.
Deeks walked down the hallway and paused in the open doorway; Leo would be at OSP. The team would be at OSP.
"Well, I guess today's as good a day as any." Deeks thought to himself. They'd just have to meet Leo.
The irony wasn't lost on Deeks that just hours before Sam had been questioning and insulting his parenting skills.
He kinda wanted to make the senior agent eat his words. But then, on the flip side, Deeks wanted to be a bigger person than that, and he wouldn't use his son to try and get respect or sympathy.
Deeks shook his head to clear his thoughts; he needed to get Leo up and ready so they could get to OPS. He was also worried about Jacob, and the fact that the teenager was missing was Deeks' fault.
He crossed the room and sat on the edge of his son's bed, and smiled softly. Leo was curled up in his Batman blanket, cuddling with his lion. If it was even possible, Deeks thought that Leo looked even younger when he was asleep. It made the man happy that Leo was sleeping with a smile on his face.
Maybe he was doing something right.
Deeks gently ran a hand across Leo's back, shaking the boy gently. "Leo... Leo." He said softly.
Leo moaned slightly, shaking his head as if already refusing to wake up. Deeks smiled a bit and shook the boy gently again.
"Buddy, I know it's late but I need you to get up." Deeks explained.
"Daddy, is dark time. Shh." Leo moaned, keeping his eyes close as he curled into a tighter ball.
"I know, little man. But Daddy got a phone call; I need to go to work and I gotta take you with me." Deeks told the boy.
"But Daddy... I so sweepy." The boy whimpered.
Deeks' heart broke and he just wanted to tell Hetty to shove this case his son needed to sleep. But he couldn't. "You'll get to meet my work friends, see where Daddy's a superhero at."
"Will my Kens be dere?" Leo mumbled, opening his eyes slowly.
Deeks grinned and nodded. "Yup."
"But I sweepy..." Leo objected.
"How about this, you can sleep for five more minutes, and I'll let you wear your pajamas. There's a really comfy couch where I work, you can bring your blanket and lion and I'll tuck you in there. How's that sound?" Deeks said trying to make the situation sound better than it was.
"Moar minutes?" Leo asked sweetly.
"More minutes." Deeks nodded.
"I get to wear my jaw-mas too?" He asked.
"If you want." The man smiled.
"Otay Daddy." The boy agreed, and closed his eyes to enjoy his last five minutes of sleep.
Deeks smiled gratefully and kissed his son's forehead. "You rock little man." He said softly before getting up and walking out of the room.
The detective moved through the apartment and into the kitchen, getting a glass of water and chugging it. He splashed some cold water on his face, making sure he was fully awake and alert.
Sighing as he looked at his watch and seeing that it had been fifteen minutes already since Hetty had called, Deeks knew he had to go get Leo. He walked back into the boy's room. He shook the little boy gently and frowned, hating that he had to drag Leo out into the night.
Leo opened his eyes and frowned. "Are there any more minutes?" He asked innocently.
Deeks frowned sadly and shook his head. "No, buddy. I'm sorry. But you can sleep in the car if you'd like." He sighed. Leo nodded as Deeks wrapped him up in his blanket and picked up into his arms; Leo snuggled into his father's embrace and cuddled his lion closer making Deeks smile as he grabbed his son's go bag and walked out to his car.
Kensi walked into the mission rubbing her eyes, looking like a zombie. She'd only just fallen asleep an hour before she'd gotten the phone call from Eric. She'd been tossing and turning all night, worried about Deeks and Jacob.
If anybody asked she'd tell them she was worried about Jacob more. Even though it'd be a lie.
Callen and Sam were already there; Callen looking as he did all the time, as if this three a.m. call had no effect on him. Sam was looking worse for wear, but still better than Kensi. He looked tired, like he'd also had trouble sleeping.
Kensi couldn't feel bad for him, still mad at him for what he'd said to Deeks.
Speaking of, she looked around and noticed he wasn't there. "Where's Deeks?" She inquired, sitting on the edge of her desk.
Callen and Sam turned their attention to her and smirked. "Well good morning to you too." Sam chuckled.
"Haven't been here for thirty seconds and you're already asking about him. Still stuck?" Callen teased.
"Smitten?" Sam grinned.
"Whatever." Kensi rolled her eyes. The senior agents both laughed and she blushed slightly, realizing she'd accidentally finished the line Callen had said the day she'd met Deeks.
A day that changed her life, for the better.
"We didn't even get a good morning, G." Sam shook his head, still teasing.
"Well I would've said it, had I meant it." Kensi chuckled dryly.
"Yea, you're lookin' a bit...tired, there, Kensi." Callen smirked, taking a drink of his coffee.
"Exhausted. Exhausted is a good word." Sam chuckled.
The Wonder Twins walked into the bullpen and they both paused at seeing Kensi. "Oh, uh, hey Kens. You feelin' ok?" Eric inquired.
"Yea, Kensi you're not lookin' so good." Nell frowned.
"Subtle guys." Callen chuckled.
"I just didn't get much sleep." Kensi explained.
"Back to Kensi's question, where is Deeks? He should've been here by now." Callen said, looking around.
"He'll be here shortly." Hetty said, popping up from behind Callen.
The senior agent in charge stiffened in surprise. "I will buy you a bell to hang around your neck." Callen informed her.
"Good luck with that, Mr. Callen." Hetty said, a slight smirk on her lips.
Kensi looked at Hetty, silently asking if Deeks was alright. She didn't know what Deeks was having to do with Leo, considering it was three a.m. But the small woman merely gave her a small smile.
Suddenly, the doors of the mission opened and footsteps were heard walking down the tunnel. Kensi looked up and smiled as she saw Deeks carrying Leo, who was cuddled up to his father with a blanket and a stuffed animal.
"Hey there partner." Kensi greeted, getting up, walking towards him and taking the small go bag from him.
"Thanks, morning." Deeks smiled back, looking her up and down.
She rolled her eyes. "I know, I look terrible."
Deeks shook his head. "You look perfect." He corrected her.
Kensi turned before he could catch the blush on her cheeks. She wasn't quick enough, however.
She walked back into the bullpen. "What's that?" Sam inquired, seeing the bag she was holding.
"Oh it's..." Kensi trailed off, looking behind her.
Then, Deeks walked into the bullpen, and everyone's eyes widened in shock. "Mornin' everyone." Deeks said, his drawl heavy.
No one said a word, they all just stared at the little bundle that Deeks was holding. "Sorry it took me so long to get here. He didn't like having to get up." He said nervously, shifting on his feet.
"That's quite alright, Mr. Deeks. I'll watch him while you're out." Hetty replied, smiling warmly.
"Um, thank you, Hetty. I was just gonna lay him on the couch, let him sleep some more. He stayed up waiting for me to get home last night so..." Deeks trailed off, uncomfortable with all the stares.
"I'm sorry, I'm missing something." Eric broke the ice first.
"Likewise." Nell nodded.
"As am I." Callen agreed.
Sam prayed silently that it wasn't what it looked like.
Deeks turned his head to the little boy, who was slowly waking up. "Hey little man, you wanna say hi to Daddy's friends?" He asked softly. Leo nodded against his shoulder.
"Guys, this is my son Leo. Leo these are Daddy's friends, that's Hetty, Nell, Eric, Callen, Sam, and you know Kensi." Deeks said.
Leo looked up and saw Kensi, and immediately stretched out to her. She looked surprised, but hugged him lightly, a small smile on her face.
"Hi people." Leo said quietly.
Silence filled the mission.
"Oh my gosh he is so cute!" Nell squealed.
"Tank you, pwetty wady." Leo smiled. Nell practically melted.
"Brace yourself, people. There are two Deeks boys now." Callen smirked.
Deeks chuckled as Leo looked around in wonder. "You wanna lay down, buddy?" He asked quietly.
Leo shook his head, waking up fully now. "No tank you, Daddy." The boy replied.
"Oh my gosh he is so sweet!" Nell cooed.
Deeks chuckled at her. "Of course he is, he's a Deeks." He grinned.
"Oh please." Kensi rolled her eyes. The detective shot her a wink.
"How the hell did I not know about this?" Callen asked no one in particular.
This brought a chuckle from the team, except Nell. "Callen! You can't cuss in front of a kid!" She exclaimed.
"Bad word." Leo pointed at Callen, who chuckled in response.
"So I had to bring him, since uh... since it's so late." Deeks said, trying to explain himself.
Everyone nodded understandingly. Deeks carried his son over to his desk and sat down in his chair, Leo on his knee.
"How old is he?" Eric smiled.
Leo took a moment, looking at his hand before proudly holding up three fingers. "I dis many!" He grinned.
"Aw." Kensi and Nell smiled.
Sam had yet to say anything, he was feeling complete horror as his words from last night replayed in his mind. Now Kensi getting so upset made sense.
Leo turned to look at Sam and cuddled closer to Deeks. "Big dude." The little boy said, a little nervous.
Sam smiled. "Hey there."
"How long...have you always had him?" Callen asked, still in complete shock that he hadn't known about this.
Deeks grinned. "Um, no. I, uh, I just got custody last week." He explained.
"And the mother?" Sam inquired.
Deeks frowned for a moment, but before he could reply Leo beat him to it. "Mommy bwought me here to lib wiff my daddy." The little boy explained.
"Kinda a long story." Deeks added, trying to convey that Leo didn't need to hear the entire explaination.
No kid needed to hear that their mother had given them up for some boyfriend.
The team nodded, seeming to catch on. Hetty cleared her throat and looked at Deeks, and the detective nodded. "Hey Leo, how about you go with Ms. Hetty here while Daddy works. That sound alright?" He asked.
Leo thought for a moment. "But I want to stay here wiff you." He objected.
Deeks smiled slightly. "I know, but I need to work and Ms. Hetty is really really nice."
"We can sit in my office and drink some tea." Hetty smiled.
"Will you cawwy me, Daddy?" Leo asked sweetly, pouting his bottom lip slightly.
"Of course." Deeks grinned, standing up and following Hetty out of the bullpen.
The shaggy detective paused in front of Kensi. "Oh, and just so you know, my son is stuck on you. When I told him we were coming here he immediately asked if 'his Kens' would be here." Deeks grinned.
Kensi smiled and chuckled lightly, rubbing a hand across the boy's back. "Hey there sweetie." She smiled at Leo.
"Hi Kens." Leo smiled back sweetly.
"I'll be right back." Deeks told the team, taking his son over to Hetty.
Kensi turned around to find the rest of the team staring at her. "What?" She asked nervously.
"So now you've got both Deeks men stuck on you?" Callen grinned.
Nell and Eric laughed and Sam shook his head, smiling nonetheless.
It was about seven o'clock when the team walked back into the mission, case completed. They found Jacob at the warehouse where Eric and Nell had tracked the van to, along with some Cartel members; the team interrogated information from them, and finally found their suspect -and put him behind bars.
As they walked inside, a little voice immediately yelled "DADDY!" and came running to Deeks.
Deeks lit up immediately, jogging the little way to Leo and scooped him up; hugging the boy and placing kisses on his cheek. "Hey there, Peanut! Did you have fun with Ms. Hetty?" He asked. Leo nodded and the two chatted happily, matching smiles on their faces.
Kensi, Callen, and Sam couldn't help but smile as they watched. "So, Deeks is a father." Callen commented.
"Wish I'd known that last night." Sam frowned, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yea, you owe him a huge apology, you know that right?" Kensi replied, eyes narrowed.
"Of course I do." Sam sighed.
"So how long have you know, Kens?" Callen inquired.
"Since last week. A few days after he'd gotten custody." Kensi replied.
Deeks brought Leo back over to the team as Nell, Eric, and Hetty joined them all. Everyone was smiling with relief that the case was over and everyone had gotten back safely.
"A job well done." Hetty told them. "I believe this warrants the lot of you taking the rest of the day off. Go home." She smiled.
"Yay!" Leo exclaimed, even though he wasn't real sure on what was happening. "Daddy did you beat the bad guys?" He asked.
Deeks chuckled. "The team and I did." He nodded.
"Cool." Leo grinned.
"Well guys, I'm going home." Kensi smiled, walking into the bullpen to grab her stuff.
"Yea, I should get home too..." Sam nodded.
"Michelle making breakfast?" Callen inquired.
Sam chuckled. "Bacon, eggs, French toast, the works. And the four of us are gonna eat it all up." He winked.
Callen threw his bag over his shoulder. "You and I both know she sets that table for five."
"Yea she does, you're always welcome G." Sam smiled, patting his partner on the shoulder.
"Well, I'm gonna go ahead and go. Maybe if I get there before you I'll get more food." Callen teased, walking out.
Deeks smiled at the senior agents' partner banter, which brought him back to his partner who was walking out of the mission. Leo poked his father's cheek, drawing the man's attention.
"Is Kens leabing?" He asked sweetly.
Deeks frowned. "Not if we stop her. I might need you to help me hit her with the double puppy dog face, ok?" He smirked.
"Otay!" Leo grinned.
Deeks hurried after his partner and managed to stop her before she got in her car. "Fern!" He called.
Kensi turned and smiled, seeing both of the Deeks boys walking towards her. She put leaned against her car as the detective stopped in front of her, a warm smile on the man's face.
"Hey." She greeted.
"Uh, yea, hey... so um... me and Leo were wondering if maybe you wanna come have breakfast with us at our place." Deeks said, rambling a bit at first.
Kensi considered him for a moment. "I don't know, I was just gonna go home and take a nap or something."
"Oh c'mon, Fern. You know you're hungry, and you can't honestly tell me you're going to turn down a free meal made by yours truly." Deeks smirked.
"Pwease Kens." Leo pouted, giving her the most adorable puppy dog face he could.
Kensi smiled and her heart melted at the little boy. "You guys don't wanna spend your day with me. I mean, Daddy's got the whole day off, Leo!" She reasoned, and gave the little boy a small hug.
Deeks stared at Kensi intensely, enough that she felt like she was blushing; she prayed she was wrong though. She didn't want the detective to know how easily he could affect her nowadays.
"C'mon, Princess. We absolutely wanna spend our day with you. I'll make you pancakes, I'll even stop and grab some donuts for you too." Deeks smiled softy.
Kensi bit her lip. "You'll do all the cooking?" She teased.
Deeks chuckled. "Well I don't feel like getting food poisoning from your terrible cooking, Fern. And you and I both know you sure as hell aren't going to clean up so I've got that covered too." He grinned.
Kensi giggled; gosh why did he make her make these awfully feminine sounds, she thought silently.
"Bad word." Leo pointed at his father.
"I'm sorry." Deeks smiled softly at his son.
"Pwetty pwease, Kens?" Leo pouted.
"How can I refuse?" Kensi smiled.
Deeks grinned and Kensi felt her heart flutter at the sight. Seeing him so happy made her feel kinda happy too.
She told herself it was just because he'd been so upset last night, and she was feeling relief that he was better. Kensi refused to admit that it was something more. She couldn't let it be more.
Right? Kensi asked herself, as she got in her car and drove away.
Deeks smiled at Leo and high fived him as he walked to his car. "Nice job there, buddy." He grinned.
"Tank you." The boy beamed back.
"Hey, Deeks?" Sam's voice said from behind him.
Deeks hesitated a moment before turning around and shutting the car door. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked at the senior agent. "What can I do for you, Sam?" He inquired.
Sam looked nervous and he shifted on his feet, looking around. "I'm sorry...for what i said last night. I was frustrated and out of line, and I shouldn't have said any of it." He said finally.
"Forgiven." Deeks replied.
Sam gaped at the detective; he couldn't fathom how he had forgiven him so quickly. "I...what?" Sam asked.
"Sam I don't want your apology because you found out I'm a dad. I want it because you trust me and respect me, and honestly I don't have either one of those yet. But when I do, you be sure and let me know." Deeks explained.
Sam nodded. "Alright, then." He replied.
"Well, I gotta get home; Leo's waiting for me to cook some breakfast, so if you'll excuse me." Deeks said, turning around.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Deeks. Enjoy your day." Sam replied.
Kensi agreed to be the one to grab the donuts and Deeks took Leo home and got started on breakfast. The two were in the kitchen and Deeks dropped down to his son's level.
"Alright, little man. What's for breakfast?" He smiled.
Leo crossed his little arms and thought for a moment. "Umm... I don't know." He shrugged.
Deeks chuckled; he had a pretty good idea what his son would want, as well as what Kensi would want too.
"How about pancakes, bacon, and the donuts Kensi's bringing?" Deeks asked.
Leo grinned and nodded excited. "Oh yea! Pan-takes!"
"Awesome." Deeks laughed, and turned to grab the ingredients to make pancakes and pulling the bacon from the refrigerator.
"Daddy's a jeff!" Leo giggled as Monty walked in.
"Chef, and yes Daddy is an awesome chef. Kensi doesn't believe Daddy, and she thinks that she's not that bad of a chef, but trust me. She is." Deeks grinned.
"Daddy silly." Leo said to Monty.
Deeks had left the door unlocked for Kensi, knowing she was only a few minutes behind him; with her driving it wouldn't be long even with her stopping for her beloved donuts. Kensi walked into the apartment with her box of a dozen donuts.
She froze when she entered the kitchen and saw Deeks standing at the stove, an apron and a chef's hat on.
"Oh my God." Kensi laughed.
"Daddy's a jeff!" Leo explained.
"Oh he's somethin' alright." She grinned.
Deeks grinned and turned around to face her, spatula in hand. "Leo, please explain to Kensi what we discussed before she got here."
"Daddy's a jeff, Kens no jeff." Leo said very seriously.
Kensi gaped at Deeks and tried to stifle her laugh. "Oh really? Well maybe I will take my dozen donuts elsewhere if you're going to insult me." She teased.
"Oh please, Fern. I know you've already caught a whiff of my amazing cooking. Just like I know there are four donuts missing from the box already." Deeks grinned, turning back around.
Kensi picked at the edge of the box and frowned slightly. "Nuh-uh." She lied, but they both saw through it.
Deeks chuckled. "Oh Kensi... Princess you should know by now I can tell when you're lying."
"Ha ha." Kensi narrowed her eyes at him, but was smiling nonetheless.
Suddenly her stomach growled loudly and Kensi blushed furiously. "What was dat?" Leo giggled.
"Oh my gosh." Deeks burst out laughing. "You've already had four donuts, Kensi!"
"Well..." Kensi tried to retort, but she couldn't come up with anything.
"Jeff Daddy, you butter gib Kens some food." Leo told his daddy.
"I'll get right on that, Peanut." Deeks smiled at Kensi.
Kensi smiled back and turned to Leo to chat with him. Deeks chuckled lightly, finishing the breakfast and putting it on plates for the three of them. Leo demanded Kensi had to watch his favorite cartoon with him. They agreed and took the food into the living room.
Deeks woke up and was surprised to find that he had fallen asleep. He was even more surprised to find that he was curled up on the couch with one Kensi Blye. Deeks' eyes widened and he looked around, trying to figure out what exactly was going on.
The TV was still turned on Nickelodeon, the plates were still sitting on the coffee table where Deeks remembered putting them. It was about an hour after he remembered it being before he'd apparently fallen asleep.
Deeks noticed Leo and Monty were curled up in the big comfy chair near the couch, and he smiled. Both of them were sleeping soundly. He looked down at his beautiful partner laying in his arms.
She was clutching his shirt in one hand, and her head was laying on his shoulder. Deeks smiled softly at her and tucked a curl behind her ear. His heart warmed and he knew it would not be good if she woke up and found them snuggling.
So with a sigh Deeks slowly tried to get up to avoid Kensi waking up and realizing. But, as he tried to extract himself, Kensi whimpered and clutched him closer. Deeks' eyes bugged out and he grinned.
"Oh my God." Deeks whispered. "You are so lucky you are not awake to hear that. I would give you so much crap for it." He grinned.
Kensi moaned and nuzzled her face deeper into his shoulder. "Kensi Blye you are quite the snuggler. Can't say that I mind though." Deeks whispered again, pulling her closer and closing his eyes; listening to her soft breathing.
Kensi woke up, puzzled at why her pillow was moving, and she swore talking as well. It made more sense when she saw it wasn't her pillow, but Deeks.
What didn't make sense was why they were snuggling.
Kensi swore she was probably blushing at the feel of his strong arms wrapped around her; and she couldn't say that she hated it.
She looked around and saw the TV on, Leo and Monty asleep, and the dishes sitting on the table. Which didn't bother her a bit. Kensi turned back to look at Deeks, and smiled when she saw his nose twitching.
Kensi sighed and knew she needed to go before he woke up. But when she tried to Deeks wrapped his arms around her tighter and grumbled in protest. Kensi laughed quietly and shook her head.
"You are so lucky you are not awake to hear that. I would give you so much crap for that." Kensi grinned.
Kensi laid her head back down on his shoulder; her brain was telling her to leave, to run and get out before Deeks woke up and saw them snuggling. But her heart was loving the feeling of his arms around her, and wanted to fall back asleep.
She made another attempt to get up, and almost successful.
"Kens are you leabing?" Leo's sleepy voice asked.
Kensi looked over and saw the little boy was looking at her, blinking slowly and sleepily. "Um, your daddy probably doesn't wanna wake up with us like this so..." She trailed off, looking around sheepishly.
"Nuh-uh. He wike you wots, Kens." Leo shook his head, curling back up with Monty.
Kensi smiled at the boy. "And I don't want you to leab yet." Leo added.
She laughed lightly. "You don't?" She asked.
"No..." The boy objected, before falling back asleep.
"Just a few more minutes." Kensi reasoned, laying back down. She laid her head on Deeks' shoulder and could feel his breaths coming out steadily.
Suddenly, she felt his lips pull in a smirk. She closed her eyes in horror as she realized he was actually awake.
"Nice try there, Fern." He said quietly.
"I'm only staying because Leo wants me to." Kensi replied.
His shoulders shook a bit as he chuckled lowly. "Yea. Ok. Keep tellin' yourself that, Kens."
And the two fell back asleep.
