Glad you are liking the story! And to answer Barbra4317 yes, I will be adding the DC team in the near future. I do have some plans made out for them.
A few weeks later, Kensi was cradling a sleeping Shaylynn while sitting on the couch. G was still at work for a few more hours or so.
There was a knock at the door and she carefully got up to go answer it. She opened the door to see Nell.
"Hey Nell," Kensi greeted. "Come in." She said and moved to the side to let the tiny woman in. She closed the door behind her and they walked into the living room and sat on the couch.
"She is a good mix of you two." Nell said as she watched the infant sleep in her mother's arms.
"G keeps saying she's a mini me, but with her crystal blue eyes there's no denying she's his." Kensi said.
"They are a pretty blue." Nell spoke.
"Do you want to hold her?" Kensi questioned.
"Sure."
Kensi carefully passed Shaylynn to her. She watched as Shaylynn fussed in her sleep protesting the movement.
"She let you guys sleep?" Nell asked rubbing her tiny hand with her thumb.
"Surprisingly she does sleep a lot. Not through the night, but I expected that one. She's a very mellow baby."
A few hours later at OPS, G. handed Sam a picture of his goddaughter before he left the office.
"Awe, look how cute she is." Sam remarked. "She is going to have guys fan over her when she's older."
"Please don't say that. I can't think of her as a teenager." Callen said walking out next to Sam.
"Well, tell Kensi I said 'hi' and that I miss her at work and give my goddaughter a kiss for me." He said walking over to his car.
"Will do." G. said before getting into his car and driving home. He pulled into the driveway making sure to park behind Kensi's car and not Nell's. He got out locking the doors afterward and went inside.
Nell appeared at the top of the stairs and put a finger over her lips.
G. nodded and walked into the kitchen. Nell walked in behind him.
"Kensi made lasagna. It's in the oven." Nell informed him.
"Okay."
"I'll see you later. Got to go meet Eric." She said and left.
A few minutes later Kensi came downstairs and into the kitchen. "Hey."
"Hey, how was your day?" G. asked.
"Normal day. Shay slept. I cleaned. Nell came over. Shay slept some more." Kensi told him.
G. laughed. "Sam says hi and he misses you."
"I miss being at work except I'm not rushing to get back. I like being home with Shay all day." She sat next to him at the table.
"Well, you know Hetty will give you all the time in the world." G. told her.
"I don't think I need all the time in the world. I don't want to still be home with her all the time when she's eighteen." Kensi said. "Maybe a month or two and I'll go back. I don't think I could be away longer. It would feel weird."
"Understandable."
Two months after the birth of Shaylynn, Kensi had planned to bring Shay to OSP to see the team. Kensi was sitting on the couch, breastfeeding Shay when Callen walked downstairs.
"Good morning, Kenz. Good morning, Shay." He greeted his two girls and kissed the top of their heads.
"Good morning, G."
"So, you still planning on coming today?"
"Yea. I'll probably be there in two hours. Lay her down for a bit. Take a shower."
"Alright. I'll see you soon. And I swear I won't tell anyone you're coming."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you, too." He said and kissed her and the top of Shay's head again. Callen walked to the front door and left.
A while later, Kensi was placing Shay in her car seat. "Are you ready to meet your family, Shay?" She asked and buckled her in. She stood up straight and slung the diaper bag on her shoulder and picked the car seat up.
After arriving at OSP, Kensi walked into the building toward the team's desks.
Callen saw her approach and got up to take Shay from her. "Hey Shay-Bay." Callen said as he took her out of the car seat.
"Where are Sam and Deeks?"
"Suspect's house."
"Oh." Kensi said and put the bag next to her seat.
"Ah. Ms. Blye. It's so good to see you. And you brought the little one." Hetty said and walked over to Callen to see Shay.
Callen wasn't sure if she would be offended by it, but he knelt down in front of her to let her see Shay better.
"Oh. She is so precious."
"So, Hetty, I've been thinking and I am ready to come back to work." Kensi told the Operations Manager.
"Are you sure about this, Ms. Blye?" She asked looking at her.
"Absolutely." Kensi said as she heard Sam and Deeks conversing on the way in.
"Alright. How's next Monday sound?" Hetty asked Kensi.
"Sounds perfect."
"There's my goddaughter." Sam said seeing Shay in G's arms. He walked over to take her from her.
