Chapter 12

Kensi's brain hadn't stopped thinking since Friday night. The whole weekend she was at war with herself; she desperately wanted to go talk to Deeks, but at the same time that exact thing terrified her.

They'd hardly talked at all since that night, and it was now Monday morning, and Kensi was stuck in traffic, just thinking. They'd exchanged only a few text messages, mostly along the lines of Deeks saying "Oh my gosh you won't believe what Leo just said" or "Leo just did the cutest thing". Kensi would always smile brightly at these texts, and respond in kind. She'd sent him the pictures they'd taken on her from Friday, and he'd sent back a dozen smiley faces.

Kensi was starting to worry about how attached she was getting to those Deeks boys; they had started to fill up her entire schedule, and she was almost always thinking about them. Her heart was getting very much involved, and it scared Kensi.

Deeks had always been different to her, she knew that. What she'd felt for him was stronger than she was willing to admit; Kensi was convinced that her partner didn't feel anything for her.

And there was that word.
Partner.

Something that relaxed her and made her cringe.

It meant so much, but at the same time it meant so little. It meant a lot in the sense of what they were on the job; they knew the other's ins and outs and had each other's back to the death. But it meant so little in the sense that they weren't something more.

And that thought made Kensi's stomach turn into knots.

After Jack had left her, Kensi never thought that she would want more with anyone else. She didn't look for anything more than one good date per man, and that was it. Nothing more, nothing less.

But with Deeks in her life it had started changing. She's progressed from not needing anyone, and being just fine on her own, to liking the companionship he'd brought; someone to talk to, share a beer, relax with. And as they'd spent more time together, Kensi knew that her feelings about not needing anyone had desperately changed.

Kensi wanted more; she wanted to stop coming home to nothing.

But on the other side of that, she didn't want to get hurt again. Kensi didn't want what happened with Jack to happen again. She didn't know if she could ever trust another person if someone else left her.

And she was pretty sure if it was Deeks, Kensi would never survive.

And that unsettled her greatly.

As Kensi switched lanes and groaned at the horrible traffic jam she'd been stuck in, on account of getting up late and missing her alarms, she thought about Leo. Precious, innocent, adorable little Leo.

He was quickly becoming a constant in her life, and Kensi didn't mind that. The little boy brought joy to whoever he was with, having so much love to give to just about anybody. Kensi was also concerned about how much she adored the little boy that had no relation to her whatsoever.

Kensi had spent the weekend sitting at home overthinking everything. Deeks and Leo had plans with Mr. Jason, leaving Kensi to entertain herself. She'd went through two tubs of ice cream just thinking and missing them. She'd spent a lot of time thinking about Leo, trying to get her mind off of Deeks and their kiss; and it showed up in her dream Sunday night.

Kensi opened her eyes as she felt someone poking her arms and staring at her. Her eyes widened as she saw Leo standing there, smiling at her.

"Leo? What are you doing up, baby?" She asked.
"Good mowning, Mommy." Leo whispered, a big happy smile on his face.
"Morning sweetheart." Kensi smiled, brushing some hair away from the little boy's eyes.

"Mommy I hungry." Leo pouted.

Kensi stretched a bit and nodded. "You want Mommy to make you some cereal? You and I both know that Daddy's the chef in this house; but don't tell Daddy that, he'll make fun of Mommy." She laughed lightly, causing the sweet little boy put his hand over his mouth and giggle.

"Siwwy Mommy. C'mon!" He told her, lightly tugging on her arm before turning and walking out of the room.

"Ok, baby boy, I'm coming." Kensi called after him, stretching and running a hand down her face in attempt to become fully awake.

Mommy? Kensi thought nervously as she fiddled with the radio station, traffic at a complete standstill. That word -when used to describe her- terrified Kensi. There was no doubt in her mind that Kensi would mess a child up. And the last thing she would ever want to do was hurt Leo... precious Leo, Kensi smiled just thinking about how cute and adorable he is. But Kensi wouldn't be a good mommy.

And besides, Kensi warred with herself, Leo already had a mommy... and it wasn't her. She frowned at the thought of this "Rachel" woman. Kensi gripped the steering wheel tight in her hands as anger flared through her; just the thought of anyone abandoning their child... Kensi couldn't imagine why anyone would do that.

"Leo deserves a mommy..." Kensi said softly to herself.

But she couldn't be that for Leo, right? Her mother had left her while she was just a kid, and Kensi was always a daddy's girl; she wouldn't know how to be a mother, Kensi thought firmly. She'd be horrible.

Right? A little voice in her head whispered.

Kensi finally managed to escape the horrible morning traffic of LA and get into OPS, only ten minutes late; not too bad. Callen and Sam were already in the bullpen when she walked in, and when she did she immediately caught their attention.

Callen started chuckling first. "Hey, Kens. You, uh, you get any sleep?" He inquired.
"That's a nice look you've got Kens." Sam chuckled.

Kensi sighed and set her bag on her desk. "I know, I know, I look bad. Got up late."

"Well I wouldn't say bad..." Callen smirked.
"Just not... up to par." His partner chuckled.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. You guys are so funny. Like I said, I got up late." Kensi rolled her eyes, but smiling slightly; she knew they were just teasing her, they were big brothers in that way.

"Why?" Sam asked, amused.
"Because I overslept and then I got caught in the morning traffic rush." She explained.

"Ah. So how was your date?" Sam asked, and Kensi froze momentarily.

Deeks was kind of nervous about seeing Kensi that Monday morning. They hadn't really talked a lot since the kiss, that perfect, wonderful, spectacular kiss, Deeks thought with a smile. He'd kept his phone on him the entire weekend, hoping for her to send him a text or, even better, call him. The detective was curious about what his partner was thinking.

That was a lie, Deeks chuckled as he took the turn to head down onto the road the mission was located at. He was very curious. In fact, Deeks was practically dying to know how Kensi felt about that kiss.

He knew what he was thinking: best kiss of his entire life, by far, with no exceptions. And Deeks wanted more. But he didn't just want more kisses with her, he wanted her; she was it for him, and Deeks knew that.

Being her partner? Most amazing thing that had ever happened in his career.
Hanging out with her? His absolute favorite times and he treasured every one of them.
Her personality, her lack of humor, and her beauty? He was falling for her.
Saving each other in the field? His heart ached for her.
Seeing her with Leo? Fighting what he felt was a losing battle.
Holding her in his arms, and that kiss? Deeks was gone.

All Deeks needed was to know how Kensi felt, and what she wanted, but he was too scared of losing her completely if he tried. Deeks had already taken a risk with that kiss on Friday night, and was lucky she hadn't kicked him in the cul-de-sacs. Now he needed her to make a move; give him something that gave him some sort of idea how she was feeling -it was sometimes impossible, even for him, to know what was going on in her mind.

The only contact he'd gotten from her were a few responses to his adorable Leo texts, and she's sent him the pictures from Friday. That had brought a huge smile to Deeks' face when he opened them and started looking through them; once again in awe at just how beautiful she was.

He'd saved his favorite photo of Kensi and Leo as his phone wallpaper.

Deeks pulled into the small lot of OSP and took a deep breath; steeling his nerves and collecting his thoughts, attempting to lock them down enough so he could function through the day. He got out and walked into the mission, acting perfectly normal.

As he walked into the bullpen, he heard Callen and Sam teasing Kensi about something; it sounded like they were teasing her about looking tired. Deeks slightly wondered why she looked tired, instantly going into protective and caring Deeks mode.

As the shaggy detective entered the bullpen, he heard Sam ask, "So how was your date?".

Deeks tried his best to school his reaction and keep his cool, setting his stuff down, and looking around. "Mornin'." He drawled. The others acknowledged him before turning back to Kensi, eager for her answer.

Deeks had to admit he was curious as to what she'd say as well.

"So?" Callen smirked, nudging Kensi lightly.

She shrugged lightly, moving to sit at her desk. "It was alright, I guess. Had a pretty ok time."

Deeks arched an eyebrow as he turned to get a cup of coffee, slightly worried.

"Well he doesn't sound too impressive." Sam chuckled, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair.

"I mean, it wasn't bad." Kensi explained.

"Does he get a second date?" Callen inquired.

She paused at that, and Deeks knew what that answer would mean to the senior agents; it would mean that this "date" she'd supposedly had would've gone a lot better than she was implying and the guy would mean a lot.

"Well..." Kensi said hesitantly, but it was enough to answer Sam and Callen's questions.

The two senior agents chuckled, moving on with their business. Deeks walked back to his desk with his coffee; needed her to tell him that they were ok -give him some sort of sign that they were alright.

"But he was a gentleman, right?" Deeks asked nervously. He had to know.

Sam and Callen glanced up, also wanting to know; Deeks knew he wasn't the only one that would fight on Kensi's behalf. The senior agents thought of her as their little sister, and would fight like it too.

Deeks watched her as she turned and stared at him for a moment, a thoughtful look on her face. She was silent for a moment, thinking, and she scratched at her neck, before suddenly a small smile appeared on her face. "Yea, yea he was." Kensi said softly, looking straight at her partner.

Deeks grinned, feeling his body finally relax. His nerves calmed slightly and he nodded, satisfied for the moment. He'd obviously trap her later and try to get her to talk, but for now he'd leave it at that, and Deeks turned to the paperwork he was behind on.

The sight of Deeks walking in had Kensi weak at the knees, and she was glad she was sitting, or else someone would've noticed and called her on it. He looked slightly nervous walking in, which made her feel better somehow. And in that white V-neck shirt Kensi loved so much, and the jeans he had on, Deeks looked positively handsome to her.

"But he was a gentleman, right?" Deeks asked hesitantly, his eyes showing the nervousness he was feeling.

Kensi thought back to their evening out with Leo Friday night, and her hand subconsciously went up to finger the chain around her neck that her shirt hid well; the necklace he had given her meant so much to her, and was already so special to Kensi.

Deeks had been absolutely amazing to her. He'd been so sweet and Kensi honestly didn't think he could have possibly been a better gentleman. "Yea, yea he was." She smiled lightly.

Deeks shot her a grin that stole her breath, and made butterflies flutter in her stomach. As he turned to his paperwork, Kensi thought back to the next part of her dream the previous night.

As Kensi moved to get out of the bed, a strong arm wrapped around her and pulled her backwards into a soft, but strong, warm, bare chest. She sighed lightly –contently- as she felt scruff nuzzling into her neck.

"Where you think you goin', Fern?" His husky, sleepy voice that sent shivers down her spine, asked.

Kensi laughed lightly as he tickled her sides. "I'm getting up. Leo came in here, woke me up. He wants breakfast. I'm gonna go make him some cereal." She explained.

Deeks kissed the junction of her neck and her shoulder, slowly trailing kisses up her neck. "Mmm, five more minutes." He mumbled against her skin.

Kensi moaned softly and turned her head to meet his lips. Deeks smiled into her kiss, trailing his fingers up and down her belly.

-line break-

Kensi shivered slightly as she thought about that dream. It'd been one hell of a dream, and she couldn't help but think about it. She'd felt so content, so happy in that dream.

Waking up by Leo, in bed with Deeks holding her? Kensi couldn't even lie and say she didn't like it. But it made her feel uneasy; it was so comfortable, so easy, waking up next to him and Leo having called her mommy.

It was like it didn't even bother her.
And that bothered her.

Kensi didn't know how she'd gone from Badass Blye to the softie who liked waking up to a little boy and Deeks kissing her.

Eric's whistle drew her out of her thoughts, and drew the attention of the rest to the case. As they made their way up to OPS at his beckoning, Deeks fell in step beside her. Kensi felt a little flustered as they walked in and leaned against the center console next to each other, and she could feel their shoulders touching, they were so close.

Kensi prayed the blush she thought was on her cheeks, was just her imagination.

Deeks was happy that the case they'd had didn't take much time; he had enough to think about, and stress over, he really didn't need a tough case to top it all off. And he was very eager to talk to Kensi.

And figure out why she was blushing in OPS.
That really had him thrown for a loop.

The team walked back into OPS, and immediately split up. Sam and Callen had figured since it'd been such an easy case, they could make up for it by pulling an extra work out with their free time.

"Hey Deeks? You wanna join us?" Sam asked.

Deeks' eyebrows rose in surprise; he was never invited into their little 'partner training sessions'. And he never thought the one to invite him would be Sam.

"Uh, wow, that sounds great, but I actually kinda need to talk to Kensi..." Deeks trailed off, rubbing his hands together.

Sam smirked and chuckled. "I see what's goin' on."
The shaggy detective paled slightly. "Y-you do?" He asked.

The senior agent nodded. "Yup. You want the scoop on her date Friday night. She already told you he didn't treat her bad, what else could you possibly wanna know?"

Deeks knew there was an underlying meaning in that, something about him being jealous probably; being too curious about her date. He smiled and laughed nervously. "Uh, no, it's not about... her date..." He rambled slightly.

The two senior agents laughed lightly. "Ok Deeks." Callen smirked.
"We get it." Sam chuckled.
"Guys, wait –no, it's not like that!" Deeks called after them, grinning embarrassedly.

He took a breath and looked around for Kensi; when he spotted her, he was grinning for a whole different reason. She was standing by the coffee machine, sneaking and scarfing a couple donuts down while she thought no one was watching.

"I should of known, Fern." He smirked, walking over to her.

"Hey, Kens." Deeks smiled, leaning against the wall next to her.

His partner jumped slightly, her mouth full of the sugary treats and her eyes had that guilty I've-been-caught look. "Uh, h-hey Deeks." She finally managed to say after she'd swallowed her huge bite.

"Hungry there, Fern?" Deeks chuckled, handing her a napkin.

Kensi rolled her eyes and disregarded his napkin, wiping her mouth with her hand. Deeks snorted, mumbling something along the lines of "more sassy than classy".

"So um... I wanted to, uh... I wanted t-to talk about, Friday." Deeks finally managed to get out.

He noticed his partner stiffen slightly, and suddenly his nerves were back. "Uh... what, what about Friday?" She asked.

"Kens..." Deeks said lowly, and her eyes lifted to meet his. "You know what I'm talkin' about." He told her.

Kensi bit her lip and looked around. "Can we not do this right now?" She whispered.

He was so confused. She seemed like she'd been fine with it, said that he'd been a gentleman and didn't have a problem with anything. Now she looked like she was about to have an aneurism.

"I really think we should talk about it... about the kiss." Deeks told her.

"I just remembered Nell needed me for something, I can't talk about this right now. I gotta, run up to, you know... run up to OPS." Kensi rambled, before turning on her heel and literally running up the stairs.

"What in the hell just happened?" Deeks mumbled, stupefied.

He looked around and his heart dropped; she regretted it. Deeks could feel it. He'd gone too far this time. He'd lost her.

Slumping against the wall, Deeks sighed and cursed fate. Giving him that one perfect night with Kensi and Leo, letting him see how easy, and how perfect it was, the three of them. And now she was running away from him.

"No." Deeks said out loud.

He refused. Deeks didn't want to lose her yet –couldn't lose her yet- when he hadn't even truly gotten her yet. He'd make it right, he just needed to fix it and be cautious around her.

Kensi had stormed into OPS, and when Nell and Eric looked at her like she'd lost her mind –which, she mused, she kind of had- she went to the gym. She passed Callen and Sam, who both shot her a smile, and went to put her gloves on.

Kensi needed a punching bag. She spent at least twenty minutes –probably more, she'd lost track of time- beating the crap out of the bag, releasing her fears and anxiety onto the bag. After her hands had started hurting to the point that Kensi couldn't throw another punch, she'd moved onto the treadmill.

Which is where Deeks found her almost an hour after she'd ran off.

He walked in cautiously, smiling slightly and giving her space, but still close enough. "Hey." Deeks started.

She glanced at him and smiled tightly, but gave him no verbal response. Deeks nodded and shifted on his feet, and Kensi kept running.

"I'm sorry." He said suddenly.

She almost fell of the treadmill in shock. What could he possibly have to be sorry about? Kensi thought. "What?" She asked.

"I'm sorry. For crossing the line, for making you uncomfortable. That was never my intention. I want us to talk about this, but we can talk about it when you are ready. I'll wait." Deeks told her softly, but firmly.

Kensi's heart melted a little and she slowed do a walk. "Wow... um, I don't... I don't know what to say." She whispered.

Deeks shook his head, and gently brushed a bit of hair that was sticking to her forehead out of her eyes. "You don't have to say anything. Not yet. Just know that I'm here, Princess. Whenever you wanna talk." He said, and turned around and walked out.

Kensi gaped after him, and was almost in tears. He could be so gentle, so soft and caring, about her of all people. And Deeks calling her Princess brought a smile to her face, and she immediately thought about the next part of her dream.

"How're you this mornin', Baby Girl?" Deeks drawled, and Kensi smiled at the happy tone in his voice.

"I'm good." She replied.
"Even though I'm glad you're good, I wasn't referring to you, Fern." He smirked.

Deeks threw the covers on the bed back and slowly crawled eye level to Kensi's very swollen belly. He placed soft kisses all across her belly, smiling uncontrollably. Kensi giggled as his scruff tickled her.

"Hi Baby Girl. It's Daddy again. I am so excited that we get to meet you soon. Mommy and Daddy, and your big brother Leo are gonna love you so, so much; what am I saying, we already do to be honest! And we'll protect you, and you'll own as all; stuck, smitten, whatever, we'll all be." Deeks smirked.

"But especially Daddy. I'm gonna spoil you, and treat you like my princess." Deeks said softly, placing another soft kiss to Kensi's belly button.

Kensi had tears in her eyes as she listened to him talk; there was so much love and adoration in his voice for the little baby girl growing in her belly that he hadn't even met yet.

As she listened to the last little part of his ramble, she pouted. "I thought I was your princess."

Thinking about his words, and how he said them in her dream, Kensi realized it was similar to what he'd said to her a little bit ago. Deeks had been so soft with her, but thinking about it she could feel his heart was in every word he said.

Kensi was cleaning her gun in the armory, hiding away from the team. Her hand absent mindedly went down to her flat belly, and she was a little disappointed.

In her dream, Kensi was so happy; the thought of a baby girl –equal parts Badass Blye and Shaggy Surfer- tugged at her heart. She thought about being a mommy to Leo and to another baby, like in her dream.

Kensi knew she'd love them both equally. And surprisingly, Kensi was completely terrified. It actually sounded like what her heart wanted all these years, but kept secret and hidden so she couldn't get hurt.

But was that how she wanted to live? Kensi thought. Live in fear and never put herself out there because of a slight chance Deeks would break her heart? And she knew Deeks, knew how much he cared about her, and that he would never intentionally hurt her.

So what was she so afraid of? Kensi wondered. She knew how much he cared. So what if being with him was still kind of scary, but Kensi was starting to realize that this was still Deeks and Kensi, and that they'd made it through some scary situations before. And he hadn't left her side yet.

Kensi smiled as she thought of the last little part of her dream.

Deeks chuckled lightly and shook his head, crawling back up to his Kensi and kissing her lips softly, slowly, passionately; letting her feel what he felt for her. Kensi smiled into the kiss and slid her hands into his hair.

"Nope. See, Kensi, when you said 'I do' you stopped being my princess. You became my queen; complete and total ruler of my heart." Deeks said so softly, cradling her face with one hand; giving her that look reserved just for her, that look of adoration and awe.

Kensi's face broke out into a smile and her heart soared at his words, the butterflies acting up again. She brought his lips back to hers and kissed him again, and again, and again.

Kensi had never felt more loved.

Kensi realized something in that moment; she didn't know if Deeks loved her or not, but he did have strong feelings for her. He had to, right? A voice said in her head.

And it was alright that they weren't sure; they could figure it out. Kensi smiled.

She looked at her watch, and realized that the guys were probably packing to go; but Kensi needed to stop Deeks and tell him something. She left her cleaning things out, not worried about that for the moment, and shoved her gun back in the holster, rushing to the bullpen.

Kensi was glad when she saw Sam and Callen had left, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Deeks was just leaving, and she could still catch him.

"Deeks!" She called.

Deeks turned and arched an eyebrow, walking back towards her. "What's up, Fern? I thought you left already?" He asked, searching her eyes.

She knew what he was looking for; he wanted to see if she was angry at him, or confused, or unsure or something in her eyes that could tell him how she felt. But Kensi wanted to tell him.

Part of it.

"No, I, uh... I've been cleaning my gun." Kensi shook her head.
"So..." Deeks said, trying to figure out what she wanted.

"Oh, right... um... ok. I just want you to know that I'm good. And that as long as we're good, then I'm always going to be good." Kensi told him, looking straight in the eye.

Deeks looked surprised, but Kensi could tell it wasn't a bad surprise. A smile twitched on his lips. "So what you're saying is..." He trailed off.

She laughed at his attempts to get her to communicate more. "What I'm saying is, is that we'll figure this out. We may not have our shit together today, but we're going to someday." Kensi smiled slightly, rubbing her hands together.

Deeks' smile grew a bit bigger and he gripped the strap on his over the shoulder bag, blowing out a slight breath and nodded. "Alright. Sounds good to me. Because as long as your good, I'm good."

"Great." Kensi smiled slightly, shifting on her feet.

"I gotta go get Leo. Mr. Jason's going on a vacation. He said Leo and I have inspired him to go see his grandkids. He'll be gone for the rest of this week and next week." Deeks told her.

"What about Leo, where's he gonna be?" Kensi asked immediately.

Neither one commented on how she was instantly concerned about the little boy.

"Umm... I guess he'll be here. I don't really have anywhere else..." Deeks sighed.

"It'll be fine. He can bond with the team that way." Kensi smiled, trying to be positive for him.

"Yea..." Deeks nodded. "So, Princess, I'll see you around. And I look forward to the day we get our shit together." He smiled.

"Me too." She replied, watching him turn and walk out of OPS.

Kensi figures she could've told him everything; how she felt, what she was thinking, maybe even about the dream. But it was too soon, she thought.

And besides, Kensi smiled -turning to go back and clean her mess up-, they had time to figure this out.

There was never any rest at the LAPD station. Lt. Bates was in his office, working through a stack of paperwork taller than his desk, worrying about one case in particular that had been a real thorn in his ass.

Suddenly, his phone rang, breaking through the silence of his office. He picked it up and sighed. "Lt. Bates." He answered.

"Yea, Lt., this is Assistant Director Owen Granger of NCIS. It's come to my attention you've got a case you're havin' trouble with." A gruff voice said from the other line.

Bates' eyebrows rose in surprise. "Is that right? Well Granger, it's not an NCIS case, so I'm not real sure where you get off tryin' to meddle with it." The Lt. growled.

It was late, and he was irritated. He'd been at the station for far longer than he'd intended. But Bates knew if he didn't get something together on this case, and fast, that something would go down.

"Well now I wouldn't try and shut me up just yet; I've got a proposition for you, Lt." Granger replied.

"Oh really? Like what?" Bates inquired.

"I understand you're having trouble infiltrating a crime lord's crew. Heard you've lost a couple cops in this case and it's causin' chaos at the PD." Granger started.

"You're not telling me anything I don't already know, Granger. And if you're just trying to emphasize that I haven't gotten the job done, believe me, I know." Bates snapped.

"Bates, you and I both know the man you need on this op." Granger said.

That got the Lt.'s attention. "But... but that ninja woman, she always shuts me down. I've needed him on a number of investigations and such but she never lets him come back to the PD. Woman tells me he's busy and has more important things to do for NCIS." Bates explained.

"Well I'm calling to tell you that I'm above Henrietta and if you need your man back you just say the word and he's yours for the op." The assistant director explained.

Bates wasn't a fool, he knew Granger wasn't doing this out of the bottom of his heart and for the good of the op. "What do you want in return?" He asked.

Granger chuckled. "I've got a separate op runnin', it's not the OSP team, but still. They're gonna be causing some trouble and I'm gonna need you to overlook that area for about four hours, but have a tactical team on standby at the posts that I give you." He explained.

"Sounds like you want control of my cops and my territory." Bates growled.
"It's just one op, and you get one of my four good agents." Granger reasoned.
"He's not an agent." Bates snorted.

"Do you want Detective Deeks for this position or not Bates? You've got ten seconds to decide, go." Granger snapped, getting irritated.

"Of course. He's the only one that can worm his way into this crew. I need him ASAP." Bates replied.

"You'll get him in the morning when we send him to you." Granger replied, and hung up.

Bates closed the file on his desk and packed up his things. Looked like his number one worry just got eliminated.

the plot thickens...mwahaha! Looks like trouble's coming Deeks' way! sorry again for leaving this without updating the past two days, but it's almost the weekend! Be a doll and leave me a review please?
