The next morning Roberta made them all breakfast while Deeks put the lights on the tree. Kensi sat in the kitchen and watched her mother in law cook.
"So Kensi how is married life treating you?"
"Good." She sipped at her coffee. "It's better now that we both work the same job. We both like knowing where and what the other one is up to."
"Well with your jobs I can understand. Not that I want to know what you're doing I'd rather not know. I am glad that you are doing it together."
"Ok the lights are on and they are lit. Kensi you can have your fun after you eat."
"I'm not decorating that tree all by myself." Kensi said.
"I know but I figured you'd be directing where it all goes."
"You know me too well."
"Ok you two eat up we have a busy day today."
"We do?" asked Deeks.
"Yes I need to finish my Christmas shopping."
Kensi and Deeks exchanged a look. Neither of them was too sure they wanted to go shopping with Roberta ever again.
"Our shopping is done already mom."
"Well that's fine. Kensi can come with me and we can have some girl time."
Kensi was not about to say no. "That's a good idea. There is something I need to pick up anyways."
"What is it?" asked Deeks.
"None of your business."
"Oh it's something naughty isn't it?"
"Marty keep it up and I'll return it before you ever see it." Said Kensi.
"Yes dear."
They spent the morning decorating the tree then had a quick lunch before the girls left to do their shopping.
"What am I supposed to do while you're gone?" asked Deeks acting like a little boy.
"Take Monty to the beach, surf." Said Kensi.
"The waves aren't that good today."
"Deeks you're a grown man figure it out on your own."
Kensi laughed as she and Roberta left. Deeks looked down at Monty. "So boy want to go to the beach?"
First the girls hit the mall so Roberta could buy Deeks a few new shirts. Kensi headed into her favorite store to look at jeans while Roberta hit the book store. She picked out a simple cookbook for Kensi. She knew her daughter in law didn't want to learn to cook but she figured once Kensi learned one thing she might just get hooked.
They met back up an hour later. Kensi was shocked at the amount of bags Roberta had.
"I found a few things for you that I couldn't pass up."
"You really didn't have to."
"My dear I'm going to spoil you rotten until you give me a grandchild to spoil."
Kensi swallowed hard and smiled. "Ok I need to pick up Marty's gift now."
"Ok lead the way."
They went to Deeks favorite surf shop and Kensi came out twenty minutes later with a new board.
"He was hinting about this for months."
"My boy really does love to surf."
"He taught me when we first met and got me hooked on it to."
"Now I need to hide this in the garage when we get home."
"Put it behind my car, he'll never see it."
"Good idea."
"If you don't mind me asking what did you do last Christmas?"
"We were on a case on an air craft carrier."
"That must have been fun."
"It was different. This is the first Christmas we are really celebrating together."
"Well we better make it a good one then."
Deeks wasn't home when they got back so Kensi hid the board and covered it with a tarp. Roberta was upstairs when Kensi came into the house so she got out the paper and started to wrap what she had bought that day. She put the gifts under the tree along with one's Deeks must have put there after they left.
Roberta came downstairs with her arms loaded with bags and boxes. "Ok I may have gone overboard today."
"All I can say is wow."
Once they had all of Roberta's gifts under the tree she dragged Kensi into the kitchen.
"Now you are going to help me cook dinner."
"Um can't I just watch?"
"No."
Kensi sighed and took the apron she was handed.
Deeks came home two hours later and nearly fell over when he saw all the gifts under the tree. What the hell happened while he was out? Then he realized the house smelt really good. His mom had cooked dinner.
Walking into the kitchen he stopped dead and his jaw dropped. His mom was sitting at the counter drinking wine while his wife was pulling a pan out of the oven.
"Hey baby how was the beach?"
"It was good. What the hell are you doing?"
"I made dinner."
"Do I have to eat it?"
"MARTIN!" yelled Roberta as she smacked Deeks in the arm.
"Sorry mom but she can't cook to save her life."
"Well I'm learning. Your mom is a good teacher."
Deeks looked over at the meatloaf and had to admit it looked really good. "I have to admit that smells good."
"Go get washed up and we'll eat." Said his mom as she chased him out of the kitchen. "That boy has no manners."
"He's had to eat my cooking before. That's why he always cooks."
"Well you're going to start cooking more. It's good for the mind. Keeps it sharp."
Kensi put the food onto the table and took off her apron. Deeks rejoined them in clean clothing and fed Monty before taking a seat.
"So mom what's with all the gifts?"
"Kensi left me alone for a while at the mall and I went a bit crazy."
"I can see that."
"Like I told her give me a grandchild to spoil, until then I will spoil you both."
Deeks almost choked on his beer. "Mom we're not really ready for kids just yet."
"I understand."
Deeks watched as his mom and Kensi dug into dinner. He picked at the green beans and mashed potatoes and finally ate some meatloaf.
"Oh man this is amazing."
"Told you so." Said Roberta.
"Kensi this is the best meatloaf I've ever had."
Kensi blushed and smiled at her husband. "It really is good isn't it?"
"Fern you never stop amazing me."
The next few days went by fast. Kensi spent most of it in the kitchen with Roberta baking cookies or making the meals. Roberta was right once Kensi got hooked she was hooked.
"Kensi I love you but I'm getting fat."
"Then go for a run."
"I would but I can't move."
Kensi laughed. "How about we go upstairs and I make a fun workout for you?"
Deeks was up and headed to the bedroom in seconds.
"Where is he going?"
"I told him we could go have sex."
"That's my boy."
Christmas Eve came and Deeks was like a little boy. Kensi caught him shaking presents a few times.
"Marty you can open one tonight."
"I don't want to wait."
Kensi laughed and handed him a box. "Here open this one."
Deeks ripped into the paper and was thrilled to find a video game he wanted.
"You gave him a gift already?"
"Figured it would keep him busy for a few hours."
"See you are ready for kids."
The women left Deeks to his game and went into the kitchen. Roberta had the turkey soaking in the sink to help it thaw. They had pies in the oven and Kensi was working on the stuffing.
"Am I doing this right?"
"Yes dear. Just cook the veggies till they are soft. Then we'll add them to the bread with a few eggs and some spices."
"Boy if my mom could see me now."
"Where is your mom?"
"Don't know. Last I heard she went back to using her maiden name and was still back East. But that was ten years ago."
"You could always try and find her?"
"Don't really want to." Kensi said. "My mom wanted me to be a doctor I wanted to find out who I really was. Our ideas didn't mesh so she yelled and I left."
"Well I'm glad you found my boy."
"So am I."
That evening everyone sat down to open a gift. Deeks gave Monty a new bed and chew toy. Roberta handed the kids each a box.
"Wow mom this is great." Deeks pulled out a new leather jacket. Kensi opened hers to find a leather jacket too.
"Oh I love it."
"I stopped at an outlet mall on my way here and they had a buy one get one half price sale."
"Thanks mom."
Deeks handed his mom a big box. She opened it to find a brand new pressure cooker.
"Martin thank you mine died last month."
"Well I remember how old that thing was. This one is all digital and plugs in plus has a lot of safety features."
"Amazing."
They put in a Christmas movie and Deeks snuggled Kensi into his side.
Kensi waited till Deeks was asleep then snuck out to get the new board. She propped it up next to the tree and stuck a big red bow on it. Then she snuck back up to bed.
"Kensi you ok?"
"Oh yeah just went and ate a cookie."
"I'm surprised you didn't bring a plate to bed with you." Said Deeks as he yawned.
"I would have but I know you don't like me eating in bed. Well food that is."
"Smart ass."
"Yeah but you still love me."
"Yes I do."
The next morning Deeks followed Kensi down stairs. He could smell coffee so his mom was up already.
"I'll get us coffee you go sit down before you fall down."
"I can't help it you didn't let me sleep last night."
Kensi laughed and headed to the kitchen. Deeks dropped onto the couch yawned and shook his head. When he opened his eyes they landed on his new board.
"Kensi!" his voice was high and cracked a bit.
"I think he found the board." Laughed Roberta.
"That and I think he also realized he's not getting that kinky gift."
The woman laughed and took the coffee into the living room.
"Is that really for me?"
"No it's for Callen."
Deeks gave Kensi a kiss then took his coffee before yawning again.
"I put the turkey in an hour ago along with the pies."
"Can we open gifts now?" asked Deeks.
Two hours later the living room was a mess with torn paper, boxes and bags. Everyone had a pile of stuff including Monty.
"This was amazing." Said Kensi. "Best Christmas ever."
That night Roberta headed to bed and left the kids to themselves.
"This really was the best Christmas ever." Said Deeks.
"Yes it was." Kensi stood and looked at Deeks. "I didn't want you to think I forgot you wanted a kinky gift either."
"Oh really."
Kensi stripped out of her clothing to stand there in barely nothing.
"Wow Merry Christmas to me."
Kensi led the way up the steps to give Deeks his last gift of the day.
