In the four months that it took Callen to get back to work not much had changed. Well not at the office that is.

On a warm summers day Kensi Blye stood on the beach next to Marty Deeks and became his wife. The only witnesses were Ray and Hetty. Deeks wore tan slacks and a white shirt and was barefoot. Kensi wore a white sun dress with her hair down and also left her shoes off.

Hetty had arranged for the minister so it would remain private. Once the ceremony was done Ray took the two out to dinner. No one had any clue they had just gotten married.

Kensi would have liked to tell the team but figured it was better to keep quiet. After all not one of them had noticed the ring.

Deeks suggested they get matching tattoos on their ring fingers instead of bands. That way they would never be forced to take them off. Kensi agreed and they now both had tattoos of rolling waves going around their fingers. Considering both surfed they could just say it was to represent their love of the water.

"So it's about time you two made it official." Joked Ray.

"Well I would have done it years ago but she kept running."

Kensi punched Deeks in the arm. "Ow."

"Baby." Said Kensi as she snatched a fry from Deeks plate.

"Yeah well you hit like a guy."

Kensi snorted and Ray laughed. Yep these two were made for each other.

Deeks pushed his plate over to Kensi and kissed her on the cheek. If she wanted his fries then she would have them.

"Thanks Marty."

"Can't have my Princess going hungry."

"No you can't."

"Ok you two are starting to make me sick."

Kensi and Deeks smiled at each other as Ray just shook his head.

"So your boss is scary." Said Ray.

"You have no idea."

"I like her." Said Deeks.

"Man you like everyone."

"That is not true Ray. I don't like your wife."

"Hell I don't even like my wife."

Yes Ray had married Nichole. He only did so when she told him she was pregnant. Then he found out that she had lied.

"You need to get rid of her Ray."

"Yeah I know." Ray looked at his watch. "I got to go. Nichole will be home from work soon and I didn't tell her about any of this."

After Ray left Deeks drove them to a surprise for Kensi. "So I got you a surprise."

"Really? What is it?"

"Kens you have to wait."

"Oh come on tell me."

"Nope but I will show you."

They were at the LAPD K-9 training center.

"Um Marty what are we doing here?"

"You'll see."

Deeks walked them into the building and said hi to a few people then led Kensi out to the kennels.

"Ok so LAPD uses different breeds of dogs for different things. Some are picked up at the pound and given a try out so to speak."

"Ok I still don't get it."

"Well when a dog is retired the handler can either adopt the dog or if they are getting another working dog they can allow another officer to adopt the dog."

"Marty are we getting a dog?"

"Yep."

Deeks stopped in front of a kennel. Inside was a shaggy dog looking at them.

"Kensi this is Monty, Monty this is Kensi." Deeks opened the kennel door and Monty walked right to Kensi.

"Oh he is so sweet."

Monty wagged his tail and gave Kensi puppy kisses.

"Monty here was used to sniff out explosives. He was retired because he has some issues."

"Issues?"

"Call it PTSD for dogs."

"Oh you poor thing."

Deeks got a lead and they took Monty out to the car. "We need to stop for supplies."

Kensi drove to a pet store that Deeks told her about. They got dog food and toys and a new bed for Monty.

They then drove home and let Monty check out his new home. He went right to the couch and jumped up onto it.

Deeks put out some food for Monty then joined Kensi in the bedroom.

"Are you sure you're ok not going away?"

"I'm fine with it. Anyways I don't get time off work till Christmas. We can go away then if you want."

"Ok sounds like a plan."

Kensi slipped out of her dress and turned to look at Deeks. He smiled and liked his lips.

"Ok if I knew you were wearing that all day we never would have made it out of the house today."

"That's why I didn't show you."

OPS

The day that Callen came back was a surprise to everyone. First of all he didn't tell anyone and second he was not due back for two more months. Kensi had really missed him. Sam was over joyed to have his partner back.

Cases came and went for the team. For Kensi the days stretched into the nights. Deeks ended up being gone more than he was home. Kensi got used to working with her new partner Dom even though he really didn't know what he was doing.

She figured in time he would either learn and become a good agent or he'd get himself killed. She just hoped he didn't get anyone else hurt in the process.

Weeks and months went by. Deeks went under for long periods of time and Kensi would come home walk Monty and sit on the couch hugging a pillow to her chest waiting on her husband to come home.

Then the one thing Kensi feared came true.

The team had gone out for a bonding night minus Dom who never showed. The next morning the team received an agent needs assistance alert. They found Dom's car, the windows shot out and the front seats covered with blood. They found the men who had taken him but were too late to get Dom back.

That night Kensi sat on the couch crying her eyes out for her lost partner. The tears were also for her husband and for herself. Neither knew when that moment would come when one of them would not be coming home.

Kensi was so lost in her fear and grief that she never heard the door open. She never heard it close quietly and she never heard the foot falls across the wooden floors.

Deeks took one look at his wife and knew it was bad. She had done the same thing the night Callen had been shot.

"Hey baby girl what's wrong?"

Kensi looked up and threw herself at Deeks.

"They took him."

"Took who Kens?"

"Dom. Someone paid to have him kidnapped."

"You'll find him."

"What if we don't?"

Deeks really didn't know what to say to that. So he simply held Kensi while she cried. An hour later Kensi finally spoke.

"How long are you home?"

"A few weeks."

"Good. I really missed you."

"I missed you too Princess."

More weeks went by. Deeks went back under and Kensi ended up working with Nate out in the field. She shook her head at him. The man was clueless but he tired. Nate also didn't miss much.

One day they were watching for a suspect. Nate had offered to ride along and Hetty told him to go just to get him out of the office for the day. Kensi was nervous as Deeks was supposed to be home the night before but he never showed up. She sat and rubbed the wave tattoo on her finger.

"How long has it been?" asked Nate.

"What?"

"How long has it been since your husband has been home?"

Kensi was shocked. She looked at Nate as if he had grown a second head.

"Hetty told me. She figured if you ever needed someone to talk to about it…"

"Um He's been gone two months. Was supposed to come home last night but didn't."

"You're worried?"

"Yes."

"I can make a few calls see what I can find out if you want me too?"

Kensi felt like crying. "No I'm sure he'll be home soon."

"Ok but if you change your mind just let me know."

"I will."

Kensi got home that night and stopped dead. There were flowers sitting on the coffee table. Monty sat there wagging his tail and waiting on her to great him.

"Monty is daddy home?"

Monty barked and ran for the bedroom.

Deeks never saw what hit him. One moment he was rubbing a towel over his wet hair the next he was on his back on the bed with his wife sitting on him.

"Shit Kensi you could have killed me."

"Sorry." Kensi started to kiss down his chest and pull her clotting off at the same time. "Less talk more sex."

Deeks laughed than groaned when Kensi found her target.

This time Deeks was home for two months. He did little undercover jobs but nothing long term. During this time Kensi had to act like a drunk hooker with Callen. It took everything she could do not to pull away from him. That night Deeks once again found himself on his back with his wife on top of him.

"Ok I don't really like knowing that Callen had his hands on you but damn I'm not going to complain about your reaction to it."

Kensi moved above him and smirked down at her husband. "Glad you're enjoying yourself."

"Oh yeah really enjoying myself."

Again Deeks went undercover. Kensi was busy with work and the days flew by. Then came the day that Deeks handler contacted him.

"You need to go home now."

"What's wrong?"

"Deeks just go home your wife needs you."

Deeks left his op not caring if it was blown to hell or not. He found Kensi again on the couch crying her eyes out.

"Kensi what happened?"

"We found Dom. He's dead. He died saving Sam."

Deeks pulled his wife into his arms. He really wished he could meet the men that had his wife's back every day. He would like to thank them for taking care of her every day.

Kensi often told him about the guys. Maybe not about the cases they were working as they were classified. But she loved to tell him about the stupid stuff they got into every day.

Like the day Callen somehow lost his pants during an op. Or about how Sam and Callen had bet her she couldn't get a guy to make her an offer in under a minuet. She always lit up when she talked about her team. Deeks was happy that his wife had these people in her life.

Again more time passed and Kensi was getting used to being on her own without a partner. Deeks was again of undercover. All Kensi knew was it had to do with drugs.

As she walked into the MMA gym her mind was on the case. That was until she spotted a mop of blond hair. Kensi was shocked to say the least. And from the look on Deeks face he was shocked too.

She felt sick as she looked at him but covered quickly. Once back at OPS Kensi tried not to act like anything was wrong. Hetty of course knew who this Jason was. After the guys went off to get Sam ready for the fight Hetty called Kensi over to her desk.

"Well this is a surprise isn't it?"

"Hetty I had no idea."

"Oh I know you didn't." Hetty sipped her tea. "I take it Marty is ok?"

"He seemed fine but shocked to see me."

"I'm sure it will all work out for the better."

Later that day Kensi got the second shock of the case. She was busy looking thru the lap top when the door opened. Deeks walked in and quickly looked around. He heard something in the kitchen and knew that Kensi was not alone.

"How'd you get in here?"

"Danny gave me a key. What are you doing here?"

"I live here spare room."

"Danny's lap top?" Deeks moved closer to see if whoever was in the kitchen would show themselves.

"I emailed him some photos. Private photos."

Deeks smiled and turned to look at his wife. He heard more noise in the kitchen and figured whoever it was went out the window.

"So my wife is sending strange men naughty photos."

"Marty." Kensi laughed.

"So who was in the kitchen?"

"Callen."

"Oh what a pity I didn't get to meet him."

Deeks pulled Kensi into his arms and kissed her. "Man I missed you."

"Same here."

"And it looks like we are working the same case."

"Yes it does."

Deeks and Kensi quickly filled each other in on what they knew. Just as they were going to kiss once more the doorbell rang.

Deeks opened the door. "Someone call for a cab?"

"That would be me." Kensi gave Deeks a smile and walked out to the car.

So that's Callen. Thought Deeks.

Hours later Kensi had to stand and watch as Sam beat the hell out of Deeks. How she wished she could jump in and stop the fight. Then again in the parking lot the boys got at it again.

"LAPD are taking them in." said Kensi.

Hetty quick to take care of it called the police to sort things out.

A few hours later in the holding cells.

Sam was taunting Deeks only to have both of them released at the same time.

"So let me introduce you. Sam Hanna NCIS, meet Marty Deeks LAPD. Who is under cover. Isn't that a kick in the head?"

BOATSHEAD.

Deeks fills the team in on what he knows. He sits there across from them and tries to keep his cool. So these are the men who look after his wife. Kensi looks smug and tries not to laugh at him. Deeks acts all cocky and full of himself to show off to the men on either side of her.

She gets teased about the photos. Something Deeks will never let her forget about. Maybe for his birthday she'll get some professional dirty photos taken just for him.

Deeks rambled on about how much better the team had it over him. Kensi was still thinking about getting some dirty pictures. Then Deeks brought it up again asking her if it had happened in real life. So Kensi said she should have shot him. They looked at each other both with a tiny smirk on their faces.

As Deeks goes on about how it should be his lead Hetty comes in and makes it a joint operation. All Kensi and Deeks can think is *Oh wow we get to work together*.

Later when Deeks shows up at a crime scene Kensi can't help it but tease him a bit.

"Thanks Deeks but we can take it from here." She smiles at him then follows Callen to the car leaving her husband standing there.

"Oh she is so going to pay for this." Murmured Deeks as he got back into his car.

At the end of the case Deeks got a good ass chewing from his boss and headed to his favorite bar. Opting for coffee Deeks sat there thinking about his wife and the world she lived in. He used to worry about her now he was really scared for her. Her job was dangerous and he really wished he had never found out how dangerous.

Kensi sat at her desk wondering if she should tell the others about who Deeks really was or not. The guys were making fun of him and it was really bothering her.

"What's the matter Kens?" asked Sam.

"I think she liked Deeks more than she's letting on Sam."

"Yeah must have been the fluffy hair."

"Or his baby blues."

"You two are real jerks."

"Oh come on Kensi have a little fun with us." Sam was smirking.

"No I don't like your idea of fun. Deeks is one hell of a cop and a good man and you both should just shut up."

Sam and Callen both looked at her wondering if they should run.

"Miss Blye perhaps you should tell them now." Said Hetty as she walked out of the Mission.

"Tell us what?" asked Callen.

"Remember my undercover cop boyfriend?"

"Yes." Said both men.

"Well he's now my undercover cop husband."

Both men stood there looking at her in shock.

"Wait a minuet…" Sam looked at Callen then back at Kensi. "Deeks is your husband?"

"Yes."

"How long have you two been married?" asked Callen.

"Almost a year."

"Deeks is your husband?" asked Sam again thinking he either miss heard her or she was joking with them.

Kensi pulled out her phone and showed them a photo from the wedding. One that included Hetty."

"Shit G she's telling the truth."

"I wanted to tell you both but wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not."

"Kensi you can tell us anything." Said Callen.

"Look guys please stop making fun of him ok."

"Yeah sure no problem."

Kensi gathered her things and headed home leaving the guys stunned.

Hetty walked into the dark room and found Deeks right away. She walked over and pulled up a bar stool.

"I take it your boss isn't too happy with you."

"Not one bit, but then he never was." Deeks put his coffee down. "Can I get you something Hetty?"

"No I've already had tea." Hetty put the folder down. "You should know Kensi decided to tell Sam and Callen who you really are."

"Wonder how that is going to go down?"

"I guess we'll both find out soon." Hetty pushed the folder over to Deeks. "I spoke to my boss and he thinks we need a LAPD liaison officer."

"No you don't Hetty."

"I know I told him that we already had one."

"Wait you want me to come work for you?"

"Yes."

"Isn't that a conflict being that my wife works for you?"

"I don't believe so. I was hoping you would agree to also act as her partner."

"You want me to be her partner?"

"Yes. Kensi has been out in the field far too long on her own. And I believe that now that you know what her job really is that you would feel better being next to her every day."

"Wow I don't know what to say."

"Say yes and sign the papers."

Deeks looked over the paper work. Right there was next of kin, and Kensi Deeks. It got to him every time he saw that on paper.

Deeks picked up the paper and signed his name. "I just hope the guys don't get too upset with me working with them."

"If they do then I will handle it. They are both good agents and will see the benefits of having you on the team in time."

Deeks nodded and finished his coffee.

An hour later he walked into the apartment to find Kensi and Monty waiting on him.

"Hey I thought we could take Monty for a walk and pick up dinner on the way home?"

"Sounds good."

They headed down the street and Deeks figured he better say something.

"So what did the guys say when they found out I was your husband?"

"How did you know?"

"Hetty."

"Hetty told you?"

"Yep right before she offered me a job as your new partner."

Deeks was jerked back as Kensi stopped walking.

"You're my new partner?"

"Yep starting tomorrow."

Kensi threw herself at Deeks and kissed him.

"So you're ok with this?"

"Of course I am."

They finished their walk and headed back with dinner. Kensi kept talking telling him stuff he would need to know for his new job.
