A/N: Here is the next and LAST chapter of this story. I loved writing this story, and I actually am sad that it is completed. I am actually thinking of writing a sequel to this story, but it might be a while before I start to write it. Tell me what you think about it? Should I do it? Like always, read and review.

Chapter 11- Beautiful Reunion

Back in the tech center Eric continued to pace back and forth, too nervous to sit down. From the doorway Hetty stood there and watched Eric made his rounds. Having watched long enough Hetty walked into the room and asked,

"I just thought I'd let you know, Mr. Beale, that Mr. Hanna just called, and he and Miss Blye have found Miss Jones, and are bringing her back now."

Hearing Hetty's words Eric stopped where he stood and stared at the mini operations manager. As the news finally set in a huge smile spread across Eric's face; seeing that Eric wasn't going to speak Hetty replied,

"Well don't just stand there Mr. Beale, move your feet and come wait for Nell to return downstairs with Nate and myself."

Not needing to be told twice Eric sprinted out of the tech center. With a small knowing smile on her face Hetty turned and followed the excited computer technician down the stairs. Ten minutes after reaching the bottom of the stairs Hetty, Nate, and Eric watched as Nell, Sam, and Kensi made their way into the entrance way. Catching sight of her other three coworkers waiting for her return Nell quickly ran over to meet them.

Not even bothering to slow down Nell launched herself into Eric's arms. Breaking away from his rather reluctantly Nell then went and embraced Hetty in a huge, then followed by Nate. Unable to remain patient while Hetty and Nate talked to Nell; clearing his throat Eric waited as Nell turned around to face him. Pointing behind him Eric asked,

"Nell, can I talk to you upstairs in the tech center?"

After nodding her head in agreement Nell walked with Eric upstairs. When they walked into the tech center Eric stopped and turned to face Nell. Seeing the look of curiosity on her face Eric said,

"Nell there's something I have to tell you. For the past few months I have been thinking of you as more than just a friend, but after what happened today I realized something else. I realized that I love you."

The look of surprise upon Nell's face as she listened to Eric's confession quickly turned into a genuine smile as she stepped closer to Eric, and replied,

"I love you too Eric."

The smile upon Eric's face was like that of a child in a toy store. Closing the small distance between them Eric bent down and captured Nell's lips in a kiss. Without any hesitation Nell wrapped her arms around Eric's neck while deepening the kiss. When the need for air became necessary the two of them separated with identical smiles on their faces. When their supply of oxygen was replenished the two of them continued where they had left off.

After an hour of interrogation at the boat house Callen and Deeks joined the rest of the team back at OSP; seeing the two of them Nell untangled herself from Eric's arms, and embraced each of them in a hug. The best part was that they came bearing good news. After seating themselves in their seats Callen turned to Nell, and the rest of the team, and said,

"Doyle confessed to murdering Lieutenant Meyer. He said that he did it for revenge for not getting his grant approval and Lieutenant Meyers did. Add to that kidnapping an NCIS technical analyst, it's safe to say that Doyle will be in prison for a very long time. David Hill admitted to lending Doyle his car so Doyle could kidnap Nell, and for keeping Nell in his basement. Because of that he will probably get a lesser sentence."

Hearing that Doyle had confessed and would go to prison for what he did Nell breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled. Seeing the happiness spread across Nell's face Eric wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his embrace. The day may have started out bad but it ended in pure happiness, especially for Nell and Eric.
