Written today, posted today! Hope you like it. I think it's quite sweet.


Deeks was kneeling in front of the TV connecting the Wii when the bell rang. He took a little while to open the door and when he did it, Callen was back turned to the entrance, watching Sam taking the soccer ball from down a car for the front neighbor kids', Julian and Dylan, who were playing on the street.

"Hey, Callen." The two greeted with a handshake. "Come in." Sam came running and he greeted him in the same; the Navy SEAL almost crushing Deeks' hand. "Guys, we wouldn't ask you this if Kensi's mother could watch them today."

"It's fine, Deeks. Where's Kens?" Callen asked.

"She's upstairs. She's been trying to fit in some jeans. Hon?" He said stepping up two steps. "You need any help?"

"Yeah! Come help me buttoning the jeans!" He smiled back at the two agents who were being already dragged by the twins to the living room.

"Sam and Callen have arrived already?" Kensi spoke, lying face up on bed.

"Yeah they did." He tried for three times to button the jeans and at the fourth time he succeeded. He reached for her hands to pull her up. "And if you don't hurry, we'll be late for the appointment."

"I'm ready."

Deeks walked to the bedroom's door but Kensi was still sitting on bed. He looked back and said gently. "Need any help?"

"I could use some."

"I love that when you're pregnant you have to admit you need my help!"

"Ha-ha, so funny of you!" She held the handrail and his arm while both were going downstairs.

"Guys, I don't know how to thank you for doing this." Kensi said with a hand on the belly.

"Please, Kensi, it's totally ok." Sam took a look at the twins. "We'll have a great afternoon. Right, kids?"

"Yeah." Jake answered, but added. "I call dibs on Uncle Sam for playing Wii 'cause Uncle Callen doesn't understand any of it!"

"Should I take it as in insult?"

The three adults laughed, Sam more heartily than Kensi and Deeks until she said. "I can see you guys will have fun." She leaned to kiss their heads and muffled. "God, I get so tired!"

"Think Kens," Sam spoke. "just six more weeks and you won't get any sleep!"

"It may be less than six weeks." Deeks explained. "Dr. Wesley will tell us today when will be exactly the due date."

"Wouldn't it be funny if the twins were born on the same day as Jake and Quinn?" Callen stated.

"Funny and handy!" Deeks joked, ready to prank his kids. "One birthday cake, one present, all to share for four."

"What?" Both Quinn and Jake said at the same time.

"Oh yeah! What do you guys think? Things are expensive nowadays!"

"So, I'll have to share my present with Jake?" As Deeks nodded, Quinn pouted and answered. "But I don't wanna share it! I want a present all to myself!"

Seeing that both toddlers would started crying and would pout even more, Kensi reassured them. "Dad is just joking around." After saying that, she smacked his arm. "Of course there'll be two presents."

"Don't you guys have the doctor's appointment?" Sam remembered.

"Yes we do." Deeks caressed Jake's hair and placed a kiss on Quinn's head. "And we're just leaving."

Quinn crossed her arms and turned her face the other way. "I'm angry at you, dad. You lied to me."

While Kensi was picking up the car keys and going to the car, Deeks knelt in front of Quinn and said. "And what if dad apologizes for lying? Will you forgive me?"

"No." She then turned her eyes to Deeks, craving her big brown eyes on her father's blue ones and said in low voice. "You said you'd never lie to me."

He exhaled deeply; he had disappointed his daughter and he knew it. "Okay sweetie, I need to go with mom to the doctor, but I promise when we're back, I talk with you again about this."

Sam and Callen spent the few hours with the twins, playing Wii. When Kensi and Deeks got home they left after a while. Deeks looked his daughter; she hadn't forgotten what happened before they left, and neither did he.

Jake wanted to keep playing Wii and Kensi didn't see anything wrong with it since they didn't play it that often; she even joined him. The twins were kids that liked more to play in the outdoors than inside the house.

"Come here." Deeks called Quinn to follow him. Both walked to the porch and after taking a seat at the one of the steps, he pulled Quinn to his lap. "Dad is really sorry for having lied to you. I just wanted to joke around with you and Jake. But I won't do it again if you don't like it. Am I forgiven?"

"Yes daddy. I can't be angry at you."

"Oh yeah? Why so?"

"Because I love you."

He returned the hug she was giving him, saying. "I love you too, little girl."

"Dad?" Having called his attention, she continued. "When are you putting up the swing set?"

"Tomorrow morning. It's Sunday and mom and dad will be at home."

"You promise?"

"Yes, I promise. And I promise for real."
