Guess I changed things around. The team visit becomes a secunday thing and Hetty's visit is much more important. Well, if you didn't understand, don't bother trying. Just read and enjoy!
Part II
Eric, Nell, Sam and Callen came to visit Kensi and the newborn twins by the end of the day.
"Where are they?" Nell asked excited. "I want to meet those little kiddies!"
"They're at the nursery. The nurses will bring them before I go to sleep to breastfeed them. But you can ask Deeks the way to there; he knows it better than anyone!"
"I think it should be G the first to meet them." Sam spoke. "He's the Godfather and he deserves to not be the last one, like it happened with Jake and Quinn." Everyone except Callen laughed.
"Yeah, laughed it up but I ended up seeing them, didn't I?"
"A week after they were born."
"Oh, shut up!"
"He's getting sad, guys!" Sam poked. "Let's stop!"
"Come on, Callen," Deeks spoke. "I'll introduce John and Paul to you firstly." They both left the room and walked to the nursery. There, Deeks grabbed John carefully in arms and said. "This is John, he was born first and he's your Godchild. Wanna hold him?"
"Ah, no I prefer do it when they're…bigger."
"Oh, come on man," Deeks placed the baby on Callen's arms. "you'll do just fine." The agent got used to holding the newborn in his arms up until he started crying.
"Rock him a little." The kid's father answered because Callen had look at him. The agent did so and John hushed, going back to sleep. "See, he likes you."
"Yeah, but now put him back there." Callen said, giving the baby back to Deeks. While he was lying down again, Callen peeked on the other baby boy right next to him. "Wow, they look-alike so much." Paul was wide awake and quiet. "Is there something wrong with his eyes?"
"No. He got Kensi's eye birthmark."
"He's pretty quiet." Callen rubbed the baby's little hand with his index and he grabbed its tip. A smile came up to his face and Deeks smiled too. It was not very usual to see Callen going all soft, except obviously when it comes to Kensi and Deeks' kids. Callen loosed the finger from the Paul's hand. "Well, I'll say goodbye to Kensi and go home." He gave a strong handshake to Deeks and said while giving him a tap on the shoulder. "And congrats, man. You deserve it."
"He's right, you deserve it." Deeks heard this voice right after Callen left.
"How long have you been there?"
"Ever since you two came in." Hetty answered, coming closer to him. "This time I didn't startle you, Mr. Deeks."
"I'm getting used to your surprise appearances!"
"They are beautiful." She affirmed, looking affectionately at them.
"Yeah, they are." The man said as well, proud and happy.
"You know, Mr. Deeks," The two of the walked to the outside and as she sat on a chair, he did the same. "I had one of my as well."
"You had a child?" His voice sounded surprised, but he then turned curious. "Had?"
"His name was Logan. If he was alive, he'd be now 43."
"How…why did he…died?"
"SIDS," Hetty swallowed and explained. "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. He was five months old when he died. One night he was sleeping…and he didn't awake up no more."
"I'm…I'm so sorry to hear that."
"Don't be, dear. It's been so long ago."
"That was when you turned your attention to orphan kids?"
"Yes. Mr. Callen and Ms. Hunter were two of the children I took care of for a while."
"There are more?"
"More five, yes." She looked upon Deeks face and anticipated his question. "And yes, all are in NCIS. Not here in Los Angeles though."
"You are extraordinary, has anyone ever tell you that Little Mother?"
"No." She placed her hand over his. "No-one has ever said that to me. Thank you Marty."
After a few moments of silence, Deeks asked. "You think I'm a good father?"
"Without a doubt." She replied, not even thinking twice. "You are an amazing father, an amazing husband and an amazing agent. Now go take care of your wife. She needs you." Hetty got up and walked away, leaving Deeks sat on the chair.
He wasn't sure if he was going to tell the team or even Kensi about what he had just heard. Maybe they all already knew. Maybe just Callen. In fact, he was the only one who ever heard about it and was the only one who knew up until Hetty's death.
