Changes 17

AUTHORS NOTES: Ok so my friend who I am writing this for is having surgery Monday. So if you enjoy the story or just the chapter, please send a review to brighten her day. She gets so excited to ready them.

It was close to 3 am when Mac woke up finding Callen not in bed with her. Not that this was strange. Seeing the light on under the door she got up and made her way down the hall to the living room. She found Callen with the erector set out building something.

"Have you gotten any sleep tonight?" said Mac sitting down on the floor next to him.

"No." Callen put what he had in his hands down. "I'm worried about Sam."

"We all are, think how his family must feel?"

"I know I can't help but feel like this is partly my fault."

Mac moved behind him and wrapped her arms around Callen. "You did nothing wrong. You said Sam did this once before, taking an overseas operation without telling you."

"Yeah and he almost died over it."

Callen leaned back into her and closed his eyes. "Come back to bed." Said Mac getting up and reaching her hand out to him. Callen took it and let her lead him back to bed. He got in first and leaned back against the headboard. Mackenna straddled his lap and traced a finger down his face.

"It's going to be ok. Sam will be fine and I'll do everything I can to keep you safe in the field."

Callen pulled her in close and tried to loose himself in her even for a little while.

Deeks house the next morning.

"Kensi we're going to be late if you keep doing that." Said Deeks as he ran his hands thru her hair as she took care of him. Kensi left go of his erection and looked up at him.

"We have plenty of time if you just let me get back to work." Kensi winked up at him then went back to doing her best to drive Deeks crazy. Twenty minutes later they were finally out the door. They noticed that Callen's car was already gone from across the street.

"See I told you we were late." Kensi only rolled her eyes and got in the car. Deeks reached over to pick the music for the drive in and was shocked when Kensi left him. He wasn't going to question it and simply sat back to enjoy the drive. Of course Kensi took the time to stop for donuts and coffee.

When they got to the mission they were only ten minutes late. Expecting Callen to make a comment Deeks was surprised to see the bullpen empty. Mac came walking in a few minutes later.

"Hey where is everyone?" asked Kensi.

"Callen is working out and Hetty is up in OPS on a video call with Vance."

"He still taking Sam leaving hard?" asked Deeks.

"Well he's not sleeping at all now. And my house looks like I have a five year old living there."

"Huh?" asked Kensi.

"I got him an erector set so he would stop taking my stuff apart. And sense he's not sleeping the pieces are all over my living room."

Deeks decided to go check on Callen, which left Kensi and Mac alone.

"Ok so I told Deeks I want a baby."

Mac's head shot up. "And what did he say?"

"Well he freaked out for about a minuet then seemed to like the idea. What I didn't tell him was I stopped taking my birth control last month."

"Don't tell me you're already pregnant?"

"I don't think so. But I am feeling a bit guilty trying for a baby while we are an agent down."

"Kensi you need to do what is right for you and Deeks and screw the job."

"I just hope I'm doing the right thing." Kensi said looking towards the gym.

Deeks found Callen just finishing up. He took a deep breath then blurted out. "Kensi want's a baby."

"Ok. So are you going to try?"

"Already are." Deeks ran a hand thru his hair. "Man I'm freaking out. I have no idea what to do with a baby."

"Don't look at me I have no clue either."

"Man we are sad." Both men laughed at this

"What about you and Mac? You guys talking kids yet?"

"No not sure if either of us are ready for that just yet."

"Kensi is just so excited about it. She already talked to her mom about it and she offered to babysit for us so Kensi can keep working."

"Well that's good. Maybe we can talk Hetty into opening a day care." Said Callen smiling at the idea.

"You know between the six of us we may just produce the next generation of OSP agents all by ourselves."

"If that is what you plan on Mr. Deeks please try and not have all three of my female agents out on maternity leave at the same time." Said Hetty coming up behind them.

"Damn Hetty." Callen grabbed his chest. He hated it when she did that.

"Yeah sure Hetty." Replied Deeks as she walked away.

"Oh and Mr. Callen we will not be opening a day care that is all on you to figure out." Hetty walked away with a smile on her face. She hoped that Deeks dream just might come true someday.

Deeks and Callen joined the girls to find out they had a case. It seemed pretty up front. Find the stolen information and the people who stole it. Deeks and Kensi went to the office building where the information was taken from and Callen and Mac went to interview the security guard who was shot during the robbery.

They met back up at the mission finding nothing to help them. The security system had been hacked erasing any footage. Kensi found no forensic evidence to help either.

"I have a feeling this was an inside job. There is just no other way someone from the outside would even know what information to take." Said Mac. "Before today I didn't even know that Sloan and McGovern were even working as military contractors.

"They have only been outside contractors for six months." Said Nell.

"Have you run background checks on all their employees?" asked Callen.

"We are working thru them. They have over 700 employees."

"And so far the only thing we got are a few parking tickets." Added Eric.

"I'm with Mac on the inside job." Said Kensi. "Whoever broke in knew right where the intel was being kept. Every floor has its own servers. You would have to know what division was in charge of that information."

"Half the people we talked to didn't even know who was in charge of it." Said Deeks.

"Nell, Eric keep digging into their records. See if any employees have received any large deposits or purchases in the last month."

"Will do."

The others headed back to their desks. They went over what they knew so far but nothing stuck out. By six Callen told everyone to go home and they would get a fresh start the next morning.

Callen dropped Mac off at her place and headed to his house. He hadn't been there in a week and wanted to check on it. He walked in and dropped his bag on the bed. To him the house seemed empty for the first time sense he moved in. He wandered around the empty room and checked the windows then cleaned out the fridge then took out the trash. He emptied his bag then refilled it with clean clothing. He ran a load of wash and drank a beer while he waited.

Talking to Deeks today got him thinking about having a family. He and Mackenna hadn't been together long enough to think about starting one on purpose. Neither one had the best record with relationships and Callen didn't want to rush this and scare her off. But the idea was there now and he didn't want to push it away.

Once the laundry was done he put it away and grabbed his bag to head back to Mackenna's. Right now he couldn't stand to be alone.

Mackenna's house.

Mac cleaned up the living room and ordered a pizza. She really didn't know if Callen was coming back or not. He hadn't said a word on the way home until he pulled up in front of her house. He told her he needed to head home and said he'd see her later.

Sitting on the porch Mac waved over as Deeks put Monty out in the yard. She pushed the swing back slowly and let it go to start it gently swaying. Mac closed her eyes and listened to the traffic drive by. Her pizza showed up a little bit later and Mac took it inside to eat. She was halfway done when Callen walked in tossing his bag on the couch.

"Hey Pizza's still hot."

"Great I'm starved. Everything in my fridge needed to be tossed."

Callen grabbed a slice and ate it quietly. Mac didn't want to push him to talk so she just cleaned up her mess and waited for him to talk. Callen seemed to be happy just eating his pizza so Mac went to take a shower. It was easier for her to wash her hair at night so it would dry. She hated going into work with wet hair. She wasn't even sure Callen knew she had left the room. She stripped and turned the water on. Mac washed her hair and was just enjoying the hot water when she felt a cold draft as Callen opened the shower door.

Mac simply looked over her shoulder at him and smiled. Callen wrapped his arms around her and just held on. He buried his face in her neck and held tight. Mac simply leaned back into him and waited.

She didn't have to wait long before Callen turned her around and pushed her against the tiled wall. He may not feel like talking but Callen had no problems showing her how he was feeling at the moment.

An hour later they lay in bed Mac half on top of Callen.

"There are a few things I think you should know." Callen said as he ran his fingers up and down her back.

"Ok."

"I want kids, I want to come home and feel like it's a home and not just a place where I sleep. I want a family of my own. I want it all with you."

"What brought this on?" asked Mac. She didn't bother to lift her head to look at him. She wasn't sure what had him thinking this way.

"Talking to Deeks about him and Kens trying for a baby I guess."

"And you don't want to be left out?"

"It's not about being left out. It's about not ending up alone and bitter." Callen stilled his movements. "When I went home the place was so empty, so quiet. I used to love that but now it just got to me."

"I can understand that. I've spent so much time alone over the years but now that your in my life I don't like the idea of going back to just being alone."

"I'm not saying we have to do anything right now or change anything I just want it out there that I'm in it for the long haul."

Mac finally lifted her head to look at him. "Callen I'm not going anywhere. For me you're it, my one and done." Mac kissed Callen deeply. "I have no problem having kids or living together full time. My lease on this place is for a year so I have about eight months left on it. After that if you want me to move in then I will."

"Ok but if you get pregnant the deals off and you move in right away and we get married." Said Callen a huge smile on his face.

"Ok I can live with that." Mac smiled down at him. Callen gave her a smirk then flipped her over onto her back.

"I love you." Callen said as he started to kiss his way down her shoulder.

"I love you too Callen."

A month later.

Kensi had been feeling ill for two weeks. She finally decided it was time to take a test and see if she was going to give Deeks a child. Deeks had gone surfing so she had the house to herself.

Taking the test Kensi locked herself into the bathroom. She read the instructions and followed them to the letter. Sinking down onto the floor Kensi waited. When it was time to check Kensi couldn't do it. She was too scared of what it would mean if there were two lines on it. She wasn't sure how long she sat there. When Deeks got home he called out to Kensi then went to take a shower. Finding the door locked Deeks pounded on it.

"Kensi are you ok?"

The door opened and Kensi looked up at him. "I took a test and I can't make myself look at it."

Deeks glanced over at the white test on the sink. Slowly he picked it up and looked at it. He grabbed the box and read the back then put them both on the sink once more. Deeks put his hands out to Kensi and helped her up.

"I'm gonna be a dad." Said Deeks before giving Kensi the biggest hug and kiss. Kensi started to cry and hugged him back.

"Are you sure?"

"Two lines Fern that means a baby." Deeks pulled Kensi out into the living room and swung her around. Deeks spotted Mac and Callen leaving for work and ran out into the yard. "Hey guys I'm gonna be a dad." Then Deeks ran back in to the house.

Callen and Mac looked at each other and laughed. They would wait till Deeks got to work to tell everyone the news.
