Kensi & Deeks walked into the boathouse.

"So, you've never been dumped?" Kensi questioned.

"Part of never, don't you understand?"

"I don't believe you."

"Oh. That's understandable, but considering your track record. Honestly..."

"Oh. Well, you see I am the married one with an eight month old daughter."

"Uh, what are we doing here? Where are the guys?"

"I don't know. I just got a page from OPS to meet here."

"Are they hiding? Hey guys! Are you hiding? Huh? Are you throwing me a surprise party?" Deeks asked, searching the place for them.

"You do know it's not your birthday, right?" Kensi said, standing next to the table.

"Which is why it would be so surprising."

"Agent Blye, can you come in here, please?" Granger's voice came through the speakers.

"You invited him?"

"Yea," Kensi said, heading to the interrogation room.

Kensi walked into the room.

"Have a seat."

Kensi walked over to where she normally sits while in that room.

"Other side," Granger told her.

"Suspects sit on the other side."

"Yea, they do."

Kensi walked over to the other side, and watched Granger sit down. She stared at him, waiting for him to begin.

Everybody else was back at OPS in the tech room. Nell was filling them in on the developing case and the connection to Kensi.

"That doesn't make sense of what Granger is doing." Callen said.

"Actually it does." Hetty spoke up. "The last person to talk to Sergeant Blake before he died was Kensi."

"So, he is accusing my wife of murder?" Callen said, getting furious. "Why the hell would she murder somebody? She knows if she was caught she would most likely never see Shaylynn again."

"I know that, Mr. Callen."

"So, you think that I am seeking revenge on my father's death?" Kensi half shouted. "I love my job; I would never abuse the privileges it gives me. I am also not stupid enough to do something like this. I have an eight month old daughter. Do you really think that I want her growing up without her mother?"

"You didn't have a daughter when these murders started." Granger said.

"You believe what you want, but I did not kill those men."

A little while later Callen had gone to Shaylynn's daycare to ensure she was safe and take her back to the boatshed to keep her from being in danger. Callen sat on one of the couches with Shaylynn sleeping on him. Sam was facing him from the other couch.

"You okay G?" Sam asked as he watched Callen carefully.

"Yea," He lied and Sam knew he did.

"Nobody believes she did it besides Granger. She has more people on her side than people who are against." Sam said.

"Never be too sure about that." G said looking up at the door as it opened revealing Deeks and an unknown woman.

Both G and Sam stood up as they entered the room and waited for introductions to be made.

"That's Agent Callen and Agent Hanna." Deeks informed her. "Julia Feldman, Kensi's mom."
Sam & G stared at her in disbelief. Sam went over and grabbed Deeks arm and dragged him back outside to leave Callen alone with his new found mother-in-law.

"Have a seat." Callen said sitting back down without disturbing Shay.
Callen & Julia sat facing each other.
"So, is she in protective custody too?" Julia asked, motioning toward Shay. "Or take your child to work day?"
"Protective custody," G informed her. He knew what her next question was before she even asked.
"How is she linked to Kensi?" She asked staring at the infant.
"This is her daughter." Callen informed her and watched her face fill with shock as he said this.
"What's her name?" Julia asked.
"Shaylynn Victoire Callen." Callen looked at her to see her reaction.
"She is your daughter as well?" Julia asked, remembering his last name.
"Yes."
"My little girl has a baby of her own." She said still shocked. "How old is she?"
"Eight months." Callen told her. "When was the last time you saw Kensi?"

"Fifteen years ago. She ran back home to her father when we were moving after I divorced him and she found out why I divorced him. I haven't spoken to her since." Julia said looking away from Shay.

"Do you want to hold her?" G asked as he repositioned Shay.

Julia was confused for a second, but realized who he was talking about. "I don't want to get attached to her; especially if Kensi still doesn't want to talk to me."

"Well, she obviously cares. She did ask Detective Deeks to put you in protective custody to keep you safe." G said.

Julia sat there and looked at G for a moment. "How well do you know my daughter Agent Callen?"

"Well enough for me to marry her." G said and watched as she looked down at G's hands and seeing the ring she had not seen when she first sat down.

After fifteen years of Kensi wondering who killed her father, Donald Blye's murderer was killed.

Kensi walked into the bullpen and saw her husband, daughter, and two coworkers.
"How does it feel?" Sam asked.
"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Kensi asked in response.
"Because you have a lot of people who care about you," Callen told her.
Kensi smiled and took Shay from him. She kissed her cheek. "I missed you baby girl." She told the young infant.
Sam picked up his bag. "See you tomorrow Kens." He said and departed.
"Yep," Kensi said.
"I just got back from bringing your mom home. You'll be fine." Deeks said before he followed Sam out, leaving the duo there.
"How's your side?" G asked walking closer to her.
"Well, I'm definitely not holding Shay on that side or sleeping on that side for a while." Kensi said adjusting Shay in her arms.
G took her hand and led her outside. "Do you want to take Shay with you? I mean she met her before." G said unlocking his car.
"No, I think I should just go. I haven't seen her since I was fifteen. She'll have plenty of time to get to know Shay." Kensi said opening the back door of his car. She placed Shay in her car seat and buckled her in. "I'll see you at home sweetie." She said kissing her forehead and getting out of the car. She shut the door and turned to G. "I'll be home at some point." She told him before kissing him.
"Take your time. We'll be fine. Spend some time with your mom." G told her and kissed her forehead.
"Alright, see you later." She said and got into her car which she saw no damage was done to it when Deeks drove it.
Callen got in the car and looked in the mirror to see Shay sleeping peacefully. He watched Kensi pull out of the parking lot and followed her.

Kensi had first gone to the beach and sat in the sand reading her father's journal as the sun set on the horizon.

When it was dark she had gotten up and walked back to her car and drove the twenty minutes to her mother's house and parked behind her mother's car. She got out and walked up the sidewalk to the front door. She stood there for a while before ringing the doorbell and waiting for her mother to answer.

After a few seconds her mother opened the door. "Kensi,"

"Hi, Mom," She greeted. "It's been a really long day, but I made it." Kensi smiled.

Julia got tears in her eyes and hugged her daughter. Kensi's eyes had started to tear as well. She had lived without her mother for fifteen years, but she could never picture living a day without her own daughter.

"Come in," Julia said and she led Kensi inside the house. They went to sit in the living room. "So, what's this I hear about me having a son-in-law and a granddaughter?" Julia joked.

Kensi laughed. "Your little girl's all grown up."

"How long have you been married?"

"A year and five months; I got pregnant on our wedding night." Kensi informed her. "Shay was not expected, but I love her and I wouldn't change it."

"And that is how I still feel about you to this day." Julia smiled. "Tell me about your husband." Julia pried.

"Well, he grew up in the foster system. He lived in 37 homes. Nobody ever told him his name except that it started with a G. G Callen. He is trying to find somebody who knows his name, but every trail he's followed is a dead end. Right now he is fine just being called 'Daddy'."
