Going to put some cases into this chapter. Please forgive me if I get them out of order. I'm working a new job and the hours are long so I don't have a lot of time to write at the moment.

Kensi pulled up in front of the house and got out. She had run to pick up dinner while Deeks did the laundry. She stopped by the garbage cans and frowned. Next to the can were two bags that someone had gone thru.

"Marty someone went thru the trash and left it sitting all over the yard."

"What?"

Kensi put the pizza down on the table. "There is trash all over the yard and no it wasn't an animal. I put the trash in the can and put the lid on tight. The lid is back on just fine and the bags are on the ground."

"Ok I'll go clean it up after we eat."

An hour later Deeks was in the yard picking up trash. There wasn't anything anyone would want in the bags, mostly take out containers. Their important paperwork was burned at work so no one could get their info.

"Ok that was just wrong." Mumbled Deeks as he washed his hands. "Who would want to dig thru empty take out containers and use tissues?"

"I have no idea."

"Still just wrong."

Kensi laughed at her husband and went back to her tv show.

Two days later Kensi was sitting on the couch pulling on her boots when Monty started barking at the front door. Kensi want over and looked out the window to see a man walking away from the house. Monty was still barking and was pawing at the door. Kensi opened it and Monty shot out.

"Marty!" yelled Kensi.

Monty stopped at the sidewalk and kept barking at the retreating form.

"What's wrong?"

"There was a man at the house."

Deeks went out to grab Monty. He could see a man at the end of the block stop, turn and look back at him. Deeks then watched him turn the corner and disappear. He walked Monty back to the house.

"Ok that was weird, the guy stopped and looked at me then walked away."

"Do you know him?"

"Don't think so."

"Wonder if it's the same person who went thru our trash?"

"Could be."

Kensi knew that with their jobs things could go bad fast and there would always be someone after them.

Deeks made sure that the alarm was armed as they headed out to work.

"Hey love birds your late." Joked Sam as they walked in.

"Sorry had some guy lurking around the house this morning." Said Deeks as he sat down.

"You get a good look at him?" asked Callen.

"Not really." Deeks shrugged. "Tall over six feet I'd guess, brown hair."

"Well that narrows it down a lot."

"Was probably nothing."

"Well if it happens again let us know." Added Sam.

"Sure but it was nothing. Monty scared him away."

"Deeks you can't take anything for granted with this job. There are a lot of people who would use you or Kensi against each other or the team." Said Callen.

"I'm sure Deeks is right." Said Kensi. "I'm sure it was nothing."

"Well if stuff keeps happening tell us do not keep it to yourselves."

"Yes dad." Joked Deeks.

As the day went on Deeks forgot about the guy from that morning.

That night the gang got together for drinks.

"Ok I have a question?" asked Nell. She pointed at Kensi and Deeks. "How did you two meet?"

They looked at each other and smiled.

"On the beach. Deeks offered to buy me lunch and then he asked me to move in with him."

"Dude a little fast don't you think?" asked Eric.

"Well Kensi was living in her car at the time." Deeks looked at his wife. "Plus I knew the moment I saw her she was the only girl for me."

"Ok you two are making me sick." Joked Sam.

"You lived in your car?" Nell seemed shocked.

"I did on and off from 18 to 22."

Everyone looked at Kensi for a moment. "Really guys it's ok."

"Where was your family?" asked Nell.

"My dad died in combat and my mom, well she wanted me to be someone I wasn't." Kensi said as she drank her beer. "I left at 18 and never went back. Drove across country and ended up here in LA."

"I'm sorry." Said Nell.

"Why my mom is a good person she just wanted me to be different. I didn't want to be a doctor and she was pushing the idea because of how smart I am. All I wanted was a year off to figure out who I really was. She refused so I left."

"Plus if Kensi hadn't left we may never have met." Said Deeks as he draped his arm around her.

Everyone laughed at this but all agreed that was very true.

A few weeks later Deeks was called back to LAPD to appear in court. The case ended up taking over a week. In that time Kensi met a woman who was running from her husband. By the end of the case the woman had taken her son and run. Kensi could only hope they would both be ok.

By the time Deeks got home Kensi's mind was on something new and the last few cases she worked without him were forgotten.

Weeks turned into months and Deeks got used to working with the team. He was really enjoying working with his wife. The best moments were when the guys would start in on her and Kensi would put them right in their place. He'd just sit back and watch.

The team soon picked up a case that involved hunting down some book that had information it seemed that everyone wanted. Kensi ended up kicking one guy right in the nuts when he said he was CIA. Turned out he was from France and was hunting the book too. Then there were the Russians.

Deeks will never forget the Russians. A couple of cocky young brat sleeper cell operatives. They were running from them when they shot out the tires of the CRX and took Kensi.

All Deeks could do was stand there and watch them take her away.

"You'll get me back." Said Kensi.

When Callen and Sam drove up moments later Deeks was shaking and on the verge of tears.

"They took her."

"Don't worry man we'll get her back."

"What if we don't?" choked out Deeks. "I can't lose her."

Thanks to Nell faking the book Deeks got the Russian bastard to tell him where Kensi was.

"Deeks turn off the light." Said Kensi. She was trembling. It was so much worse standing there in front of her instead of seeing it on the video link.

As soon as the lights were off Deeks was in shock.

"If I break a beam then the room blows."

"Oh god Kens."

"Marty please I can't stand here any longer."

Hearing her say his name like that tore thru him. Deeks ended up using his laser for his gun to block the light waves enough for Kensi to slip under and over all of the beams till the last.

"I'm sorry Kensi I can't get this last one."

Kensi made it to the last one and looked at Deeks as he put his hands out to her.

"Trust me Princess."

Kensi put her hands into his and Deeks counted to three and pulled. As soon as Kensi hit the beam the room blew throwing them both out the door. Kensi landed on top of Deeks hard.

Deeks brushed the hair out of her face. "You ok?"

"I have to pee."

Deeks laughed. "I think I did."

This made Kensi laugh too. She leaned down and kissed Deeks. "I knew you'd get me back."

"Always princess."

Over his com Deeks heard Sam and Callen both yelling for his status.

"We're good."

Kensi stood and looked around franticly.

"Fern just drop them and pee already, no one is around."

Kensi nodded and went around a corner just in case the guys found them.

"Oh got that feels so good."

Deeks laughed and waited for her to finish. Then together hand in hand they headed to find the guys.

"Kensi you ok?"

"I've been better."

"Deeks?"

"Yeah I'm good."

It took hours of paperwork and one late night stop to threaten the man who was after Hetty and the book before Deeks and Kensi got home.

Kensi went straight for the shower. Deeks sat on the end of the bed and slowly took off his shoes the stood and stripped. He had never been so scared as he had today. The only woman he had ever loved was almost taken from him that day.

The phone rang and Deeks reached over to answer it.

"Martin how's my favorite son?"

Deeks chuckled. "I'm your only son unless you're hiding something from me."

"Now would I do that?" his mom said laughing. "Now how is my beautiful daughter in law?"

"She's good mom, taking a shower right now."

"It's almost eleven you two must have had a long day?"

"You have no idea." Deeks ran a hand over his face. "Look mom can I call you back tomorrow?"

"Of course dear, give Kensi a kiss for me."

"Will do mom."

Deeks stripped and went into the bathroom. He found Kensi sitting in the tub under the running shower crying. She never cried in front of him or the team thinking it showed weakness.

He got into the tub and pulled her against him. "Hey it's ok princess."

"I thought I was going to die today." Said Kensi. "I almost did."

"Yes but I got you back didn't I?"

Kensi laughed a bit and moved to straddle her husband. "Yes you did."

Deeks noticed the water was getting cold. "How about we finish this in bed where it's warmer?"

"Ok." Kensi turned the water off and grabbed a towel.

Deeks grabbed one too and followed her into the bedroom.

"Mom just called she said hi."

"That's nice." Kensi said and yawned. She pulled one of Deeks old tee shirts over her head and climbed into bed.

By the time Deeks had gotten a pair of shorts on Kensi was sound asleep. He was so tired he fell onto the bed and passed out next to her.

The next morning they were up and at it again. Deeks making breakfast for them before work like always. He was just about to put the plates on the table when there was a knock at the door. He shrugged and went to answer it.

"Flower delivery for a Kensi Blye."

"Who sent them?"

"Don't know man I just deliver them."

Deeks took the flowers and shut the door. No way he was tipping for flowers he didn't order. He pulled the card out and read it.

"Oh Marty you got me flowers."

"Sorry Princess it wasn't me." Deeks handed her the card. "You know a Jack?"

"No, should I?" Kensi looked very confused. She read the card. "You're someone I'll never forget… soon. Love Jack." Kensi looked at her husband. "I never dated a Jack." She looked at Deeks. "Baby you know you're the only person I've ever been with."

Deeks knew he had been Kensi's first she had been very clear on that the first night. But they had spent a lot of time apart.

"There wasn't anyone when we were apart?"

"Not once."

Deeks looked at her. "Were you with anyone else when we were apart?"

"No."

"Ok then."

"I'll get Nell to look into this when we get to work."

Kensi put the flowers on the coffee table. "I'll toss these out when we leave."

On the walk to the car Deeks opened the trash can lid and Kensi dumped the flowers in. They kept the card for Nell to run tests on. Deeks hoped that no one was watching them. If the sick bastard was watching this could either piss him off and make him come after them or worse.

Once at the Mission.

"Hey Nell some guy sent Kensi flowers with this note can you look into it for me?"

"Sure."

Deeks looked over to where Kensi sat laughing at something Sam said. Deeks would be keeping a closer watch over his wife from now on.
