CBS own everything. I only own the medical personnel.

Hiding thoughts, hiding emotions and feelings, hiding dreams and wishes, if it was one thing Kensi was good at, it was hiding. Now, due to a little knock to the head, even that had been taken away from her. The last five days, the fiercely loyal, independent kick-ass, assertive to the extreme lone female of the team had been reduced to a weak, exhausted, dependent patient.

The constant headache that had made itself well known ever since Talbot had hit her was on the wane. The Kensi of old was making a comeback. It had been nice to be cared for, for once, but she couldn't afford to admit to anyone, especially Deeks. Somehow his personality demanded the constant exchanges she shared with him.

"I hope you don't think this changes anything Deeks. Yes, I owe you one, but somehow I think I'll have an opportunity to return the favour soon."

"Actually, you owe me big time. As I recall, I saved you from getting shot in the desert, I saved you when the when the Russians had you behind some laser beams, I saved you from getting shot by Talbot and I was the one who alerted the others so you would be found after our vacation time. So as I see it, you will be paying me back for a long time."

Deeks couldn't be sure, but Kensi's face just seemed to drain of all colour for a few moments.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Other than the fact my head is shaved, I'm weak, I can barely walk and I'm in the hospital, I'm feeling great."

Deeks guessed that Kensi was definitely on the mend. He probably just imagined something wrong.

Kensi was grateful to finally be in a private room. The endless revolving door of doctors, nurses and specialists, let alone the noise of the other patients in the ICU had driven her crazy. Thankfully the quarter hourly nurses' visits had turned into hourly and then a few times a shift visits. She just wanted to rest. At least now she could close the door and pretend everything was fine.

She had managed to convince Deeks to go home and get some rest. She was secretly pleased that when he came back he told her he wouldn't leave her alone until he was kicked out. He had brought a change of clothes, deodorant and tooth brush.

Deeks had been there for most of the poking and prodding she need to endure. He managed to help her get through the seemingly stupid questions the 'experts' liked to ask. He had been there when she tried her first fluids, her first solids and he had been there when she tried walking for the first time.

Kensi was realizing that she could really trust Deeks. He had covered for her when she had cried out of frustration and didn't think anyone would notice.

Since none of the major setbacks that could happen after a major head injury appeared, it looked like Kensi would be going home in the next few days.

At first Kensi had been too weak to care if Deeks was there when the medical personnel were around. As she got stronger, she became used to having him there most the time.

Deeks often enjoyed watching Kensi every time she was distracted by medical personnel. For all her bravado and ability to keep up with the guys, her movements were quite graceful. Deeks wouldn't dare stare at Kensi any other time, without getting called on it, but with her being distracted, it was fair game.

"Good morning Ms. Blye. How are you feeling today? Let me …"

As usual, Deeks tuned out Dr. Walter and spent his time deep in thought about Kensi. She was really starting to look like her normal self. The puffiness was mostly gone, the bruises were mostly gone and thankfully the bandages stayed white. Deeks couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to have Kensi be back to normal.

"What do you mean I can get pregnant again soon?" Deeks was brought out of his reverie by Kensi raising her voice. Oh boy, this wasn't going to end well.

"I'm sorry, I thought you knew. You were pregnant before, but you lost the baby. You really need to calm down."

"Get out!"

"Ms. Blye, I know your upset, but I really need to talk to you." Dr. Walter tried to calm Kensi down.

"Get out. Just get out."

Without thinking, Deeks thought he would try to calm Kensi down, "Come on Kensi, You really need to calm down."

"Both of you get out. Now!"
