Deeks couldn't wait to tell everyone the news. He texted Nell and told her to have everyone gathered when they got in. Hetty asked Callen if he knew what was going on.

"Yes I do but I think Deeks wants to be the one to tell everyone."

Ten minutes later Deeks and Kensi walked in.

"Mr. Deeks this had better be good." Said Hetty sternly.

"It is." Deeks looked at Kensi then back at his family. "We're having a baby."

"Oh my god!" screamed Nell throwing herself at Kensi and Deeks.

"Miss Blye you are on restricted duty till further notice." Hetty looked at her with a smile. She knew how much Kensi hated desk duty. "Once you start to show you will be on desk duty until the baby is born."

"Yes Hetty." Kensi was not going to argue. The baby and Deeks were so much more important than the job to her now.

For now Kensi would be allowed in the field for interviews and forensic work. Anything that was deemed dangerous then Nell would partner up with Deeks. Granger would also go into the field as backup when necessary. Deeks thought he just enjoyed shooting people and was an action junky but he would never say anything to his face about it.

Hetty also insisted that Kensi see a doctor the next day to find out how far along she was. As Hetty was walking back to her desk she pointed a finger at Callen.

"Don't even think about it." Then walked away. Mac looked at him.

"What was that all about?"

"She doesn't want me getting you pregnant any time soon. Can't afford to be two agents down, three if you count Sam not being here."

"Well I guess I should have said something sooner than." Replied Mac. Callen went white.

"Mackenna?"

"Just joking." She laughed and walked away.

"Not funny baby, not funny at all."

He could hear his girlfriend laughing all the way to the gym.

By the end of the week Nell was exhausted. Not only was she doing her Ops work but she was in the field and training at the same time. She wasn't going to complain because this was what she had wanted sense first starting work there. Of course this now left even less time for Eric.

He didn't say anything but he was quieter at work and didn't come over after work like he used to.

"Hey Nell, take the weekend off and put a smile back on Eric's face." Said Mac as they finished up a training session in the gym.

"Ok. I owe him that much. He misses me."

"I can tell. He turned down a red bull this morning."

"What are your plans this weekend?"

"Spending it at Callen's place. It seems like we always end up at my place so we are switching it up."

"You two are just too cute."

Mac laughed. She wouldn't tell Nell but she was still unsure of where things were going. It all seemed too good to be true. The last thing Mac wanted was to loose what she now had. Callen was a very good looking man and she often saw women watching him when they were out.

He never paid them any mind but there could always be that one woman who caught his eye. She just hoped it never happened.

When it was time to leave Mac gathered her things. She was still off kilter thinking about Callen leaving her. Callen seemed to know something was up even when she told him she was fine just a bit tired.

They stopped for dinner at one of Callen's favorite steak places. They got seated and when the waitress came to take their order she very openly flirted with Callen. It seemed that every time he ate there with Sam they got the same waitress and she always hit on him. When he was with Sam it was fine he just always was polite to her but having her hit on him in front of Mac was making him uncomfortable.

They placed their order and Mac looked out the window. "You ok?"

"Yeah I'm good."

"No you're not Mac. What is bothering you today?"

"It's just been a long week." Mac smiled at him. "Just looking forward to going home and taking a hot bath." Callen reached over and took her hand in his.

"So do I get to join you in this bath?"

Mac laughed. "Well I guess it would be ok." Said Mac giving Callen's hand a squeeze.

Mac had put her hair up in a bun that afternoon for the training session and had just left it up. This made her tattoo very visible considering she was wearing a tank top. Their waitress brought their beers and stopped to take a long look at the back of Mac's neck then at their joined hands. She gave a huff and walked off.

"Ok I really hope she doesn't spit in my food." Joked Mac.

"Guess we need to find a new steak house." Replied Callen with a shake of his head.

It didn't surprise them when a different waitress took over their table. They ate and soon left for home. As soon as they got to Callen's house the mood seemed to change. Mac got more relaxed and didn't seem as upset over what ever had been bothering her all day.

She tossed her things next to the bed and headed for the bathroom to run he bath. Once the water was half way full Mac got in and sighed. The hot water felt so good. It took only a few minutes before Callen joined her. She scooted forward to make room for him. She really loved this tub. The previous owner had taken out the old tub and had a whirlpool one put in.

Callen hit the jets before wrapping his arms around her. "I love you." Said Callen.

"I love you too."

Callen began to rub circles on her stomach with his thumb. "Are you sure you don't want to just move in now?"

"Callen it's only a few months I think you can handle the wait. It's not like we are not together each night."

"I know." Callen slid his hand along her stomach. "I just want us to start our life together that's all."

"I thought that's what we are doing now?"

"Together in the same house." Added Callen. They had been together for five months now counting the time they spent just as very good friends. In two weeks it would be six months.

"Patience is a virtue you know." Said Mac on a moan as Callen found his target.

Callen pulled his hand away making Mac groan in frustration. "Well I guess you can wait till later than for this."

"I hate you right now." Callen laughed.

"No you don't." He kissed her shoulder and put his hand back where it was. "You love me."

"More then you'll ever know." Said Mac enjoying the moment.

Deeks' house.

"Kensi foods ready." Yelled Deeks as he dished out the Mac and Cheese he just made. He really needed to get Kensi eating healthier now that she was eating for two. He steamed some broccoli and hoped she would eat some.

"Smells good." Kensi took her seat and dug in. She cleaned her plate and started in for a second helping, even the broccoli. "What's for dessert?"

"Only you Fern." Deeks laughed. "I have fresh fruit and whipped cream."

"Any cheese cake?"

"Not tonight."

"Deeks." Whined Kensi.

"Sunshine, you're eating for two now and need to eat stuff that is good for the baby."

"I still want cheese cake." Kensi pushed her plate back and stuck out her lower lip at Deeks.

"Ok how about a small piece topped with the fruit?"

Kensi giggled and agreed. Deeks had to admit the giggling was one of the cutest things Kensi did around him. If he told her that she would most likely hit him. Deeks got the dessert ready and they took it into the living room to watch tv.

"Are you going to come to my appointment Monday?"

"As long as we don't get a case. Eric said he would call early if we have one."

"Ok." Kensi said as she dug into the cheese cake.

"Deeks do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Doesn't matter because the kid will be ours and that's all that I care about." Deeks held Kensi as close as he could. "You're the only woman I ever want to have kids with Kens."

"Good because if I catch you knocking up another woman I'd kill you."

Deeks knew she meant business. He also knew no one would ever find the body.

"Don't worry Fern there will never be anyone else for me ever."

Callen's house.

Mackenna was laying on the bed on her back. Callen was stretched out taking most of the bed on his stomach with his head on her stomach. He almost never slept but in this position he could be out for an hour or so. Mac ran her fingers over his shoulders and arms as this seemed to help him sleep.

Callen twitched in his sleep then murmured something. He jerked hard then settled down. Mac knew his dreams could be troubled as most agents that did what they did every day faced.

"Baby please don't go." Callen murmured. He wrapped his arms around her more like she was his life line. "Please don't do this don't leave me."

"Callen babe it's just a dream. I'm not going anywhere." Mac stroked his head trying to calm him down.

"Please, I need you."

"Callen wake up your dreaming." Mac poked him this time trying to rouse him sense he wasn't calming down from her touch. Callen jerked awake and looked up at her. "Hey babe, must have been one hell of a dream."

Callen moved to lie next to her. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"You were packing your bags to leave. You got offered a job in DC and took it." Callen wanted to cry but held the tears back. "It was killing me watching you walk away."

"Ok you do realize that I would never leave you." Mac rolled over to so she could look down at her. "You and Hetty you're my family and I'm not going anywhere." She kissed him and moved to cover his body with hers. "G what does the tat you picked out say?"

"Forever."

"I'm not going anywhere." She kissed him again. "What can I do to prove that to you?"

Callen pulled her down to kiss her again. He wound his fingers in her hair to hold her still. When they broke apart Callen reached over to the night stand and opened the draw. He pulled out a small blue box and Mac's eyes went huge.

"Callen." Mac gasped as he opened the box and showed her the ring.

"I was going to wait till we were together a year."

He looked at her and held his breath. "I'm pushing things again." Callen went to close the box when Mac put her hand on his.

"How long have you had this?"

"About two weeks."

Mac ran her finger over the ring. The stones were all set into the band, one large diamond in the center flanked by several smaller blue and green stones. The ring was amazing. Mac sat up and looked down at Callen. She put her hand out to him and he took the ring out and slipped it onto her finger.

She smiled down at him then laughed as Callen tackled her to the bed.

"I'm still not moving in." Callen kissed her and slid himself into her.

"That's fine I can wait." They watched each other as they moved. "As long as you belong to me that's fine."
