This chapter takes a little back on the time line. Hope you guys like. And, by the way, thank you a lot for the reviews. I'd love to get some more (me, trying to tempt fate!)
"I hate these difficult cases so much." Kensi sighed, lying on bed over the bed sheet.
"Yeah," He crawled into bed next to her and kissed her temporal. "this was a tough one." He rested his head over her belly, being face turned to her face. She took her hand to his hair, letting her fingers play with it. "But it's done. We closed the case, had a nice dinner at your mother's and now we…" Deeks noticed something was not alright with her. "What's wrong, Kens?"
"Nothing." She gave him a slight smile that quickly faded away. "Like I said, tough case."
"I…" Deeks was going to have a hard time saying what he wanted. "I overheard a bit of your conversation with your mother. I didn't mean to, I just walked in and…"
"I'm taking the trash outside." Deeks said.
"No, Marty, there's no need." 'The dreamy gentleman and helpful son-in-law every woman wants to have; typical Marty', was all Julia could think when Deeks left. She walked to the kitchen and found there her daughter. "Marty just left to take the trash and you're doing the dishes? You're my guests!" She pulled her away from the sink.
"Mom," Kensi breathed out after it. "can I ask you something?"
"Of course." Julia turned off the faucet and put the dish aside, looking at Kensi. She sensed she had something important to ask.
"Do you think he and I are capable of…handling a…a child? I'm not…" She said quickly the last part. "but, can we do it?"
Her mother gave her a wide smile and hugged her. "Yes, baby girl." Julia was feeling overflowed with emotions, her voice sounding more like whimpers. "You two can handle it." She held her hands, telling her. "Thinking last time I saw you, you were just a teenager and now…you're talking about building a family on your own. Have you talked with him about it?" Kensi only had strengths to give her a negative nod and lower her look. "Why not?"
"I don't know how's gonna react. He takes very seriously his father issues. He's amazing with kids and I know he'll be a wonderful father, but…what if he doesn't want it because he's scared?"
"You need to talk with him about it to know. That's the only way. Kensi, look at me." She told her and only continued when her daughter looked her in the eyes. "But I have no doubts that he wants it too."
"His father was abusive towards him. He never had a role model, a paternal figure and he already told me that that threatens him a bit."
"But you believe in him, and that's what you have to tell him."
Kensi felt like she needed to justify to her mother why did that conversation came up at that time. "Today we closed a case. The Marine's wife was LAPD, desperate to make justice by her means. And all I could think about was Deeks and I…I don't know how extreme I can go if anything ever happens to him, mom. She then told me the only thing she regretted was never being able to start a family with her husband, and that got me thinking about it…"
"Kensi, promise me you'll talk with him about it. And believe my words; he wants it as much you want it."
When Kensi heard him saying that she started sitting on bed and he sat too. "I can't say I'm ready, 'cause we'll be new parents, but that has nothing to do with my father. Our kids won't ever have the troubles I had. Never ever." He said firmly, staring so focusing into her eyes that the gaze was almost entering her soul. "And neither will you have to worry about it, love." Deeks was near tears, kissing Kensi lips over and over again. "You're everything to me; I'll never harm you-"
"I know, I know." Kensi pulled him for a tight hug, trying to calm him down. "I know, Deeks. I trust you…blindly…okay?" She cupped his cheeks and kissed him slowly.
"And your mother is right: I do want it as much as you do." He grinned again, happy. "I want little mutant assassin ninjas, our little mutant assassin ninjas."
"So we're ready. We're ready for a family." Kensi couldn't contain the happiness.
"Our family," He kissed her lips and made her lie down on bed. "you, me and a little part of us running around the house." He lifted up her shirt and kissed her belly. "Soon."
"Soon." She repeated and smiled before his lips being on hers again.
Review, pretty please? *Blink, blink*
