Mac packed a bag for her and one for the girls and Callen drove her to her parents' house the next morning. Nell and Eric were there dropping of Jake at the same time.

"Mac how are you feeling?" asked Nell.

"Well I'm not puking anymore but I'm so tired."

"She's taking the week off maybe more." Said Callen.

"Ok I'll email you all your paperwork so you can keep busy, and I'll give Callen anything you need to sign."

"Thanks Nell."

"Ok angel be good today." Said Callen pulling her into a hug.

"I'll be fine."

"Sara if she gives you any trouble call me."

"I can handle my daughter don't you worry."

Callen looked at the two women standing next to each other. They looked so much alike at times.

"Ok I'll be home hopefully around six."

"Just go to work Callen."

"Come on Anna Daddy is taking you to school today."

"Ok momma."

Anna ran past her mom and grabbed her back pack.

"Anna give your mother a hug." Said Sara.

"Sorry momma." Anna hugged her and then ran back to her dad.

Mac just shook her head at her daughter. That girl loved school. She was picking up an American accent very fast and sounded like most any other kid in her class now.

Callen gave Mac a kiss and headed out the door. The rest of the day went slow. Mac did paperwork and took Clara to play in the sand. Sara brought Jake down for a bit then headed up to make lunch.

"Honey you need to eat something." Said Sara.

"I know but nothing sits right."

"Try some tea and toast then we'll try some broth."

"What did the doctors say about this?" said Victor pointing at Mac's belly.

"That its extreme morning sickness. I have pills to take if it gets too bad."

"So it will go away?"

"Not sure. Some have it only a month some the entire time." Mac sipped at her tea. "I've lost five pounds this month."

"It's not healthy for the baby to lose weight." Said Victor. "Your Aunt Mara had this same thing with every child."

"I remember she was sick so much." Said Sara.

"Yes and her husband wanted as many sons as he could have. The poor woman was always with child." Victor laughed. "She gave him only daughters. Seven of them."

"Well this is the last baby for me. There is no way I can go thru this again."

Mac finished her tea and Sara gave her more. It was an old blend that was good for pregnant women. Victor had it flown in from Romania just for Mac. Sara made her eat some soup then take a nap with Clara.

By the time Callen got home Mac looked a lot better.

"Ok you look more like yourself tonight."

"Mom keeps making me drink this tea. Not sure what is in it but it seems to be helping."

"It's Gyspy tea." Said Sara. Callen picked up the cut to sniff it. "No Callen it's only for Mac. I'll make you normal tea."

"What's in this stuff?"

"I didn't ask and she's no telling."

After a life time living as a Gyspy Sara refused to give up the old ways even if she was back on American soil.

She put a cup of tea down for Callen then put a bowl of soup in front of Mac. "Eat."

"Mom really."

"Eat the soup Nadia."

Mac looked at Callen and ate the soup. He tried not to laugh at her but when Sara used her Romanian name Mac did whatever her mom wanted. Anna was sitting at the table doing her homework and she did laugh. This made Callen laugh. Mac gave him a dirty look then grabbed her belly.

"What? MacKenna what's wrong?"

"Nothing the baby just moved is all."

"Don't scare me like that."

"Sorry it's the first time the feelings been so strong." Callen put his hand on her belly and felt a slight movement.

"Ok he really is moving in there."

"Can I feel momma?"

"Give me your hand." Mac put Anna's hand over the spot and they waited. The baby moved and Anna giggled.

That night Mac was sound asleep. She was dreaming about a little boy with blond hair and blue eyes. *Christopher wait for Daddy to take you.* The little boy stopped and looked back waiting. He smiled at her and Mac woke up. She sat up and held her belly.

"What's wrong?"

"Just a dream."

"Nightmare?"

"No I dreamt about our son. I want to call him Christopher."

"What about Michael."

"No it's Christopher. His name is Christopher."

"Ok. I like Chris."

Mac looked at her husband. "He's going to look like his daddy."

"Must have been some dream."

"Callen don't make fun of me."

"I'm not." Callen put his hand on her belly. "Christopher Callen I really like that."

Callen pulled her back down to sleep wrapping his arms around her.

The next morning he made sure to spend some quality time talking to his son.

"Ok Chris you need to be a good boy and don't make mommy sick all day." He felt a thump against his hand. "Good boy listen to daddy."

Mac laughed and smiled down at her husband. "You better get going or you'll be late for work."

"I'm going." Callen stood and kissed his wife then called Anna. Anna ran over and hugged Mac then put a kiss on Clara's cheek.

"By momma, by Clara."

Clara waved and said "Bye bye."

The rest of the week went better for Mac by Friday she felt so much better.

"It's the tea and soup." Said Sara. "Old family traditions are better then all these pills the doctors give you."

In fact Mac hadn't taken one pill the doctor had given her. She was eating and keeping it down without a problem.

"I'm glad you feel better. Hetty wants you in the office next week we have some training class we all have to take."

"That's fine. I need out of the house anyways."

"You can stay here as long as you want." Said Sara.

"I know mom but I miss my own home."

"I understand." Sara looked a bit sad.

Mac looked at Callen.

"How about we stay one more week? MacKenna has her next apt next Wed."

Sara smiled and took Anna into the kitchen to have her help with dinner.

"Ok mom is getting very clingy." Said Mac.

"Your mother is worried for you." Said Victor. "She doesn't want to see you lose this baby too."

"Dad I'm not going to lose this baby."

"You seem very sure."

"Mac keeps having dreams of our son."

"Ah you take after my side of the family with the visions."

"Visions?" Callen looked confused.

"Son you keep forgetting we are Gyspys. Our people have abilities that most do not have." Victor smiled at Mac.

"Your grandmother had these visions too." He put his hand on hers. "She used to dream of you. Always telling me how sad you looked." He looked at Callen. "I think she saw you too a few times. She would tell me of a little boy who was just as sad but once the two of you met everything would be good."

Callen knew better than to say anything about this. As long as the baby was healthy he didn't care about anything else.

They took Sara with them on Saturday to look for stuff for the nursery. They had moved Clara into Anna's room and needed to repaint and buy boy things now. Kensi had packed up a lot of Donny's things for Nell so they had to buy all new. Victor was watching the girls so they could get more done.

"Ok we need light blue paint." Mac said once they got to the hardware store. "Callen what do you want on the walls?"

"I don't care."

"Callen pick something this is your son what do you want his room to look like?"

"How about Navy stuff since we work for the Navy after all."

"Ok Navy stuff it is."

While Callen go the paint Sara and Mac looked for wall decorations. They found some of Navy inspired things like anchors and even some boats. Once they were done they headed to the baby store.

"Well we don't need a crib or any big stuff."

"That's good." Said Sara picking up a teddy bear dressed like a sailor. "We have to get this."

Callen found a stuffed boat and picked out a little baby sailor suit for the baby.

"Ok that is too cute." They spent three hours picking out stuff.

Sara showed them a bed that would be good for Clara. It had rails so she wouldn't fall out but they could be take off as she grew.

"Callen we need to get this too."

"Don't worry I'll get this for my granddaughter. In fact I'll get two one for my house too."

With Micha in DC Sara was going to turn his room into a nursery for the new baby. Sara planned on keeping this a surprise.

"Ok tomorrow I'll paint the room so you don't have to smell the paint."

"Just don't get any on the floor this time."

"I'll put down paper first."

It took Callen a week to get the nursery ready with Sam's help. Once it was done Mac went to see it.

"Oh Callen it's perfect I love it."

Sam had hired a local painter to put a mural of a battle ship on one wall.

"Hey I want my nephew to have the best Navy room ever." Said Sam.

"Thank you Sam It's perfect."

Mac's doctors appointment came up and she and Callen were nervous.

"Ok how have you been feeling?"

"Great."

"No more sickness?"

"Not really." Mac looked at Callen. "My mom keeps feeding me this Romanian tea and soup and it seemed to do the trick."

"I may need to get the name of this tea." The doctor got Mac's weight. "Good news is you gained three pounds. She measured the baby bump. "And you gained two inches. The baby is getting bigger which is good."

The scan showed their son and Callen got a good look at the little boy. "Yep it's a boy."

Mac smacked his arm.

"It looks like your right on track."

"Good." Said Mac. "I cannot wait till he's here."

"Now remember you came a month early with Clara you may come early again."

"I hope not. I just want a healthy baby."

"Everything looks just fine."

Mac and Callen headed back to the Mission to let everyone know and to show off the scans.

THE MISSION.

"Deeks stop it I'm not pregnant."

"Oh come on Kensi I know you are. You're eating healthy and you only eat healthy when you're pregnant."

"Deeks I am not pregnant."

Deeks smirked at her. "Sure you aren't Princess."

Kensi glared at him and sat down at her desk. "Look I tried on my favorite jeans last week and they didn't zipper. I put on a few pounds and I'm just trying to take them back off."

"Kensi you gained weight because you're carrying another little Deeks."

"Deeks you have baby fervor." Kensi was not happy with him. They had talked about it and decided two kids were enough.

"Kensi just take a test and it will shut shaggy here up."

"Ugh! Fine." Kensi went and asked Hetty for a test just to prove Deeks wrong. Twenty minutes later she dropped a negative test on his desk.

"Ewww! Kensi you peed on that."

"Yes and its negative."

Deeks made a face. He really was hoping for another baby.

"What's negative?" asked Mac.

"Deeks thought I was pregnant."

"Yeah and she's not."

Kensi picked up on Deeks feeling bad. "Deeks I don't want another kid we talked about this two are enough."

"I know."

"Why don't you just get a puppy?" said Mac.

Deeks eyes got bright. "Can we Kens? Pleaseeeeeeee?"

"You're cleaning up after it."

"Fine."

Deeks was bouncing in his chair. Kensi looked at Mac. "Some days it feels like I have three kids."

"Alright you two." Hetty pointed at Callen and Mac. "What did the doctor say?"

"He's doing great and I've gained a few pounds."

"Wonderful. Now get to your paperwork. You too Mr. Callen."

"Kensi come look at this puppy." Deeks said. Kensi went over and looked. The puppy was a little girl named Bella and she looked just like Monty. "Can we go get her?"

"Fill out the paperwork and we can go after work." Said Kensi.

Deeks filled out the form and emailed it in then called to put a hold on Bella.

Callen looked at Mac. "We are not getting a dog Callen."

"Oh come on the kids will love it."

"No."

"What about a kitten?"

"You really want to clean a litter box?"

"Ok good point."

"Callen we are going to be very busy with three kids. Maybe once they are older we can get a dog."

"Or another baby." Said Callen.

"Only if you find a way to carry it yourself."

Sam sat there and watched them trying not to comment. He was not getting involved in this one.

THAT NIGHT.

Deeks and Kensi walked into the animal shelter and told the girl they were there to meet Bella. They were taken back into a room and waited for her to be brought out. She came bounding in and right up to Kensi.

"Oh my you are a sweetie."

"She looks just like Monty." Said Deeks. "Can we get her Kensi please?"

"She is all ready to go. Has all her shots and is spayed."

"Don't you usually have to wait a few days to pick them up?" asked Kensi.

"Bella can go home tonight."

"Well ok looks like the kids are getting a surprise." Said Deeks.

They asked Julia to bring the kids over that night. When Deeks opened the door Donny screamed. Sitting next to her new big brother wearing a pink collar was Bella.

"Is she ours daddy?"

"Yes she is this is Bella."

"Hi Bella." Donny said then he hugged the puppy.

Julia put Lilly down and she crawled over to see the puppy.

"A puppy Kensi?"

"It was either that or another kid."

Julia laughed at that.

"This was just way easier."

"Ok Kensi Donny and I are going to take the dogs for a walk."

"You guys have fun."

As soon as the left Kensi picked up Lilly. "I need a drink."

"I'll pour."
