Thanks to everyone how has taken the time to comment, like and follow. Please keep the reviews coming as they really brighten my day.

Some Nell and Eric for you now plus more of everyone else.

"Eric stop looking at me like that."

"I can't help it your huge."

"I'm pregnant Eric I'm supposed to be huge."

"Yeah but your only six months, Kensi and Mac were not that big at six months."

"Eric I'm small that means I show more than a taller woman would."

"Ohhhhh." Eric wasn't sure but if she said so he was not going to argue.

They sat at their desks working for several hours when Nell reached over and grabbed his hand. She pushed it against her belly. Eric was in awe as he felt his son moving around in there.

"Wow."

"Yeah, wow."

They had decided to name him Jake Martin. Deeks was like a brother to both of them and they had asked him and Kensi to be godparents.

"Eric I'm hungry."

"You or the baby?"

"Both of us."

"And what do you want?"

"Oreos and nacho cheese."

"Seriously?"

"Yes." Said Nell her eyes huge and pleading.

"Fine I'll go get you food."

Eric headed down the steps mumbling about Oreos.

"You ok there Beal?" asked Granger.

"Well Nell wants Oreos and Nacho cheese."

"That's a new one."

"I'll be back soon." Said Eric leaving Granger there shaking his head. These women ate some strange things when they were pregnant. He shudder remembering some of the things Blye ate.

Kensi was on the phone with her mom. "And you're sure she's fine? No temp?"

Kensi smiled and told her mom they would be home on time and hung up. Lilly was doing great and her ear infection was getting better.

"Lilly doing ok Kensi?" Asked Callen.

"She's fine. I however am a mess."

"Kids will do that to you." Said Sam.

Kensi yawned and got back to her paperwork. Deeks was sacked out on the couch snoring. Neither had gotten much sleep the last few nights. Hetty walked over and shook her head at him.

"How is my granddaughter doing Mrs. Deeks?"

"Better Hetty."

"I'm glad. You may want to take him home early tonight." Pointing at Deeks who looked like he was about to roll off the couch.

"Good idea."

"So Callen how is Anna settling in?" asked Sam.

"She's amazing. Sara was going to take them to the museum today."

"She's never been to anything like it." Said Mac. "We put on Night at the Museum for her to watch yesterday and she fell in love with it."

"She is and angel." Said Kensi. "You guys are lucky to have her."

"And she love Clara." Said Callen. "If she gets fussy Anna wants to mother her."

"That is so sweet." Said Kensi. "I'm not sure Donny knows what to do with his sister."

They laughed for a few minutes then got back to work. Deeks snorted in his sleep and rolled right of the couch. They were all amazed when he didn't wake up.

"Is he still breathing?" asked Granger.

Deeks snorted again and rolled onto his back.

"Yep still breathing." Said Callen.

"He's been up two nights just watching Lilly sleep."

"He deserves the sleep." Said Hetty tossing a blanket over him.

By four Kensi was all in and walked over to Deeks who was still asleep. She poked him with her foot and he sat up.

"What? Huh?"

"Deeks wake up time to go home."

"Home ok." He got up and staggered to his desk grabbed his bag and followed Kensi out.

By five everyone else was on their way home too. Eric followed Nell down the steps.

"For diner I want fish tacos and mint ice cream."

"Sure Nell anything you want." Said Eric making a face. Her eating was stating to make him sick.

"Oh and Mom called she wants to know if we set a wedding date yet."

They hadn't. Eric hadn't even proposed to her yet. Everyone just assumed they were getting married now.

"Um ok."

"Eric we need to pick a date."

"Any day you want." Eric said then added. "As long as it's not the week of Comic Con."

"Ok I can work with that." Nell headed out ahead of Eric who was standing there mouth hanging open.

"You ok there Eric?"

"I may never be ok again."

"Eric what's keeping you?"

Sam and Callen laughed at him.

When Callen and Mac got home Anna ran to them. "Momma Daddy I saw dinosaurs."

"Did you?" asked Callen picking her up.

"Yes but they didn't walk around like in the movie."

"Ma." Called out Clara from her swing.

"She's been saying that all day." Said Sara.

"Ma." Yelled Clara again and put her hands out to Mac.

"What a good girl your first word." Said Mac picking her little girl up. "And it wasn't daddy." Mac looked at him smugly.

"Hey bug what happed to being daddy's girl?"

"Ma, ma." Clara giggled and waved at her dad.

"I'll be your girl daddy." Said Anna.

"You're both my girls."

They ate dinner and settled in to watch a move with Anna. She sat on Callen's lap and giggled at little yellow things on the tv.

"What are those things again?" asked Callen.

"Minions."

"Ok and that is?"

"I have no idea but Kensi said kids love them."

Callen and Mac were not up on kids movies. They had never watched them as kids and really had no clue what was popular now. Kensi and Deeks however were experts having Donny.

"I just buy what Kensi tells me to buy."

"Ok." Callen had to admit the movie was cute.

Clara kicked to be put down so Mac lifted her to the floor. She sat for a minuet then stood up holding onto the couch.

"Callen look."

Clara held onto the couch with both hands and looked up at them and smiled.

"She's standing on her own."

Callen grabbed his phone and took photos.

"That's my girl."

"Ma." Said Clara and promptly fell back onto her butt and giggled.

"Hey it's a start." Said Mac.

They got the Clara settled down and let Anna finish the movie. Once both girls were asleep they finally got some time alone.

"Come on G lets go to bed."

"You read my mind."

Deeks house.

Lilly lay in her crib looking up at them.

"How's my little starfish?" asked Deeks.

Lilly answered him by filling her diaper.

"Ok guess that answers that."

"Your turn Deeks." Said Kensi quickly leaving the room.

"Thanks a lot Kens."

"Hey you slept all day time to do some work."

Deeks lifted Lilly out and got to work cleaning her up. He found Kensi in the living room holding Donny and reading him a story. He carried Lilly over and they joined them.

"Mommy read again."

Kensi started over as Deeks rocked Lilly. By the time she was done reading Donny was asleep. She carefully carried him to bed then went back to join Deeks. Lilly simply looked up at him and sucked on her fist.

"My beautiful little princess." Whispered Deeks. "You have no idea how many people love you."

"She will."

"She is so amazing." Deeks couldn't take his eyes off her. "Remember when I used to bug you about having kids?"

"Yes back when I couldn't stand you."

"You loved me and you know it."

"Ok maybe I did." Kensi smiled at Deeks and laid her head on his shoulder.

"I used to day dream about those kids. What they would look like, what we would name them."

"Really?"

"Yep." Deeks held her close. "I used to try and imagine what this would be like. Being married and having kids."

"And are we coming close to the dream?"

"No."

"No!" Kensi sat up. "What do you mean no?"

"We have surpassed every dream I ever had."

Kensi shook her head and leaned in to kiss him. "I love you Deeks."

"I love you to Kens. And I love our little starfish too."

Lilly looked up at him and blinked. She then smiled.

"Look Kens she's smiling at me."

"Deeks I know that look she has gas."

"Oh."

Kensi shook her head and went to get a beer. Her husband was clueless at times but she still loved him.

ERIC AND NELLS APARTMENT.

"Yes mom I'm doing fine. No we don't need any money."

Eric was on the couch playing a video game. He glanced over at Nell and she smiled at him.

"No mom I can't come home. I'm not allowed to fly now." Nell rolled her eyes. "Mom I have a great doctor here and lots of people to help once the baby comes."

Eric's biggest fear was his future mother in law moving in with them. She was just like Nell and Eric didn't think he could take all that bubbly energy in the apartment at one time.

"Yes mom we are going to pick a date. It will be after the baby is born."

Nell got up and started to pace. "Mom I am having the wedding here. All my friends are here." Nell stopped and looked out the window at the ocean. "Mom they all have important jobs and can't just drop things and go back East."

Eric put the controller down. Nell was getting upset and that wasn't good for the baby. Her blood pressure had been up and the doctor didn't want her under too much stress.

"Mom I'm sorry you feel this way."

Eric took the phone. "Hey mom it's Eric. Look I have an idea. How about Nell and I just have two weddings. One here with our friends and then we can fly home and we can have another one with the family. That way everyone can be a part of it."

Nell was shocked. She wasn't even sure Eric wanted to get married. He never talked about it and left her to make any decisions.

"Yes you can plan the entire thing and yes I will wear pants."

Nell giggled at this. Eric hated wearing pants.

"Ok we'll narrow down the date after the baby is here." Eric hung up and sighed. "Your mom scares me."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Plus this way you get to wear the dress twice."

Nell laughed. She had already picked out a dress. It was way too long for her but Hetty was having it altered to fit her small frame.

"I love you Eric."

"I know. And I love you both." Eric kissed Nell and put his hand on her belly. The baby kicked and Eric laughed. "Looks like he's saying I love you too daddy."

The next couple of days it was business as usual. A few small cases, Nell with even weirder food cravings and Callen and Deeks trying to outdo each other in the world's best dad category.

That Saturday Kensi and Mac took Anna and Donny out for a big kids day. Ok so Donny wasn't really a big kid yet he didn't want to stay home so they took him. The kids got to go to build a bear and make new friends.

Donny picked a dog that looked like Monty. Anna was so confused. They had nothing like this back in Romania. She watched another little girl pick out her toy and stuff it.

"Momma what should I pick?"

"You can pick anything you want."

Anna went and looked at the rows of stuffed animals. Finally she picked a white cat. "I want this one."

A worker helped her stuff it then told her to pick out a heart to put inside. Anna picked a pink one and stuffed it in. She then went with Donny to pick out an outfit for their toys.

Donny picked a police officer. "Wike Daddy." They didn't correct him. He was too young to understand the difference between a cop and an agent.

Anna picked out a blue shirt and jeans for her cat and little brown boots. Kensi commented it looked like something Callen would wear. Once they were finished they took the kids to eat. Anna loved American food. Donny showed her how to color on the placemat. Those two were quickly becoming best friends.

Kensi had to laugh as Anna took Donny by the hand on the walk to the car. She took a photo from behind to show the guys.

Once they got home they found Callen and Deeks both fast asleep on opposite ends of the couch. Each had a little one asleep on top of them. Clara was snuggled up in her daddy's arms and both were sleeping with their mouths open.

Deeks had Lilly snugged between him and the couch his arm cradling her. Lilly had both arms stretched out in her starfish pose.

"Ok this is so freaking cute." Said Mac. Both took pictures before waking the guys up.

"Look daddy I got a kitty." Said Anna.

Callen took the cat and looked at it then down at what he was wearing. Kensi almost fell over realizing they were dressed the same.

"Told you." She said.

Mac just shook her head.

"Daddy wake up." Said Donny poking him in the shoulder. "I got doggie."

Deeks was really hoping he was not holding a real puppy. Opening his eyes he came face to face with a stuffed police dog. "He wike you daddy."

Deeks was still half asleep and shook his head to wake up. "Nice one there buddy."

"Do I smell pizza?" asked Callen.

"Kitchen."

"Sweet." He handed Clara over and went to get his pizza. Deeks handed over Lilly who still hadn't woken up. She yawned and stretched out more in Kensi's arms. Donny and Anna were busy playing with their new friends. Clara kicked to be put down and once again held onto the couch this time with one hand.

"Callen get in here now."

Callen came in eating a slice of pizza Deeks right behind him.

"What?"

"Look."

Clara was standing holding on with one hand and reaching out with the other one for her sister. "An."

"Oh great her second word." Said Callen.

"Man you don't sound happy."

"He's not. She says Ma and now An but no Da."

Callen got down and looked at Clara. "Come on baby girl say Da da."

She smiled at him and yelled out "NO."

Callen made a face and everyone else laughed. Callen noticed Mac had her phone out taping. She was laughing so hard he wasn't sure the video wouldn't be blurry.

"What happened to her being a daddy's girl?" asked Kensi.

Anna looked at her sister. "Clara say Da da. You can do it."

Clara looked at her then up at Callen. Everyone waited. Finally she reached out to him and said it. "Da, da, da, da." Callen picked her up and snuggled her.

"That's my girl."

"Finally, this was killing him." Said Mac.

Callen had a huge grin on his face.

Mac sent the video to Hetty and to her parents.

Clara looked at her and reached out for her. "Ma."

Mac took her little girl and gave her kisses.

"You never forget the first time they say that." Said Deeks.

Callen knew this was true. He'd never forget this moment or the one where Anna had ran to him calling him Daddy the first time.

Chapter notes. Up next Anna's first day of school.
