Changes

Chapter 19

Nell was the first to spot the ring on Mac's hand. She gave a little scream and hugged her. Everyone else was looking at her funny now.

"You ok there Nell?" asked Deeks.

"I'm fine." Nell looked at Mac. "How did he ask?"

"Ask what?" said Kensi.

Mac held out her hand so Kensi could see.

"OMG! Callen proposed."

"What, when?" asked Deeks going to join the women.

"Saturday night." Mac looked down at the ring. "Don't get all excited no wedding for a while."

"I can't believe he asked you." Said Kensi.

"Well neither could I, but I just couldn't say no."

Mac noticed Hetty was now in her office. "I'm going to go tell Hetty."

"Mackenna my dear what can I do for you."

She held out her hand to show Hetty the ring. "Callen proposed."

"Oh my, what a beautiful ring." Hetty got up to get a better look at the ring. "The blue and green stones match your tattoo."

"Yes. That's what Callen had in mind when he had the ring made."

Hetty hugged her granddaughter and smiled. "I am so happy for you."

"We are waiting for a bit to actually get married." Mac smiled. "Callen couldn't wait any longer to ask."

"I am so glad you two found each other." Said Hetty. She looked up to see Callen walking over to them. As soon as he got close Hetty hugged him too. She tried not to cry but a tear escaped. "I am so happy and proud of the two of you."

"So Hetty how about talking your granddaughter to move in with me."

"Callen we already talked about this." Mac shook her head at him."

"I don't see why you don't." said Hetty. "The two of you spend every night together already."

"See Hetty is on my side."

Mac threw her hands in the air. "UGH! I give up." And walked away.

"So Mackenna does that mean you're moving in?" asked Callen as he ran to catch up with her.

As Callen and Mac went back to work Kensi went to talk to Hetty.

"Well the doctor says I'm two months along."

"I see. We will have to take things case by case for now but I do not want you putting yourself in any dangerous situations. I don't think Mr. Deeks could handle it if you or the baby were harmed."

"That's fine Hetty. I can always work cold cases."

"Well then get to it." Hetty smiled as Kensi walked away. She looked forward to the day she would hold her own great grandchild.

If Deeks was over protective before now that Kensi was carrying his child he was worse. They were in the car watching a house and Deeks kept asking her if she was ok.

"Deeks I am pregnant not sick."

"I still think you should be back at ops."

"Yeah well Hetty said I could be here. I'll stay in the car I promise."

"Kensi I'm aloud to worry. I love you and our little ninja assassin you're growing in there." Said Deeks as he rubbed her belly.

Kensi put her hand on top of his. "I promise I will stay in ops every day once I start to show. That's about two months. Until then I will stay in the car unless it's safe for me to be there."

"Ok. I just can't lose you Kensi. You are my entire world."

"And you are mine Deeks."

Across town.

Callen was starting to get worried. Mac hadn't said a word to him in about an hour. They had been sitting watching a coffee shop for their suspect to show like he did every day. Mac was looking out the window and at the same time rubbing her engagement ring.

"Ok your mad I get it but can you please talk to me."

"I'm not mad." Said Mac still not looking at him.

"Ok then why are you so quiet?"

"Just thinking."

"About?"

"Something I'm thinking about doing."

"Am I going to like it?"

"I hope so."

"I'm sorry I had Hetty take my side."

"No you're not. You want me to move in and you're getting your way."

"I don't want you to move in if you don't want to."

"I want to. Hetty is right it just makes sense we spend every night in the same bed. It will be easier to just have one place."

"There is something more isn't there?"

"I just don't want you to wake up in a few months and realize you don't want me there anymore."

"Mackenna I will never change my mind."

She turned to look at him. "I'm just being silly. I've been shut out or tossed away so often it's hard for me to think anyone wants me to stick around."

"You're not being silly. I keep thinking you're going to up and leave me."

"Not going to happen G. You're stuck with me."

It was late when Callen and Mac got back to her place. Callen dropped onto the couch and kicked off his shoes. Mac headed straight for the bedroom and changed out of her jeans and top. She pulled on another little and I mean little item Hetty had made her buy. It was kind of unnerving now to know that it was her grandmother who had picked all this stuff out for her.

Oh well Hetty had good taste and she knew Callen would love it. Mac turned the bed down then walked out to the living room. Callen was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed.

"G why don't you come to bed."

"Yeah I will soon."

"G Callen get your butt off of that couch and come to bed or I'm changing into sweats."

This got his attention and Callen looked over to the hallway to see Mac standing there in a little black and red lace number. She smiled at him, turned and walked back to the bedroom.

"Thank you Hetty." Murmured Callen as he headed to join her. Mac was sitting on the bed waiting on him.

"You are so beautiful." Said Callen as he stripped off his shirt and jeans.

"If your too tired we can just sleep." Said Mac as she lifted her legs onto the bed and laid back.

"Tired, I'm not tired."

Callen hovered over her. "So you're really moving in with me?"

"Yes. We can start packing up my stuff this week."

"I love you so much."

"I know and I love you."

Callen leaned down to kiss her when his cell phone rang. He got up and grabbed his jeans to find it.

"Hello."

"G I hear congratulations are in order."

"Sam where the hell are you?"

"Can't say G, sorry. I only have a minuet we are moving out soon to catch a flight. Hetty called and told me the good news. I hear Kensi is pregnant too."

"Yeah she is. I can't believe you're not here." Callen looked over at Mac. "Yeah she's right here."

He handed her the phone.

"Hey Sam you having fun yet?"

"No not really. Congratulations Mac. Take good care of our boy."

"I plan on it."

A few minutes later Sam ended the call and Callen felt better having a chance to talk to him.

Callen looked at Mac and pulled her onto his lap. For a while he simply sat there and held her.

"Do you just want to try and sleep?" asked Mac. "It's ok if you're not in the mood now."

Callen didn't answer her instead he flipped her onto her back and covered her body once more.

"And miss out on this amazing little number, no way." Mac laughed as Callen kissed his way down her body. Callen stopped and looked up at her. "I want to wait till we are married to start a family."

"Ok, that sounds good. It will give us a little more time with just the two of us."

"Plus it means time to get in lots of practice making a baby." Said Callen as he resumed his trek downward.

Deeks house.

"So what do you think about Mac and Callen getting engaged?" asked Kensi as her and Deeks were getting ready for bed.

"I'm happy for them." Said Deeks.

"Deeks do you want to get married?"

"Of course I do." Deeks looked at Kensi "Kensi do you want to get married?"

"Yes." She put her hand on her belly. "I'd like to before the baby comes."

"Ok, so how do you want to do this?"

"Let's just go to city hall. I don't want a big fuss." Deeks knew that Kensi had planned her wedding to Jack and he figured planning anther wedding would bring back bad memories.

"Ok. We can have your mom come with us."

"I'd like that." Said Kensi quietly.

"Do you want real wedding dress or are we going in jeans?"

Kensi laughed at this. "Jeans are fine for you. I think I'll wear a nice sun dress. I have a white one I've never worn before."

"Ok it's all settled then." We can make an appointment for early in the morning. If we are late for work we will have a good reason."

"Deeks there is something else."

"Yeah baby."

"Well it seems that being pregnant has a certain effect on my body."

"Besides your boobs getting bigger which by the way I'm totally fine with."

"No you idiot." Kensi shook her head at him then blushed. "It seems that I'm extremely needy in a certain way."

"Oh." Deeks smiled. "Babe you're always needy that way." This got Deeks a soft punch to the shoulder. It made him smile. Kensi had promised that she would not hit him anymore and so far she hadn't. But the soft punch was to Deeks like getting kissed. He understood exactly what it meant.

"Deeks I'm serious."

"So am I fern." Deeks kissed her then slipped his hands under the LAPD shirt she was wearing. "Now let's see what I can do about your little problem."

Somewhere overseas.

Sam Hanna sat on a C17 cargo plane as it speed to its destination. He had no idea where he would end up. All he knew was he couldn't fail at this mission. What Granger had told him during the briefing had chilled him to the bone. He was doing this to save the people he cared about. If he didn't succeed the repercussions would reach all the way back to LA and his family. He made a promise to Hetty and Granger and he planned on keeping it, even if it meant giving up his life to save those who were waiting back home.

He just hoped he'd be there to see Kensi's and Deeks baby born and to stand up with Callen at his wedding. All their worlds were changing and now it was up to Sam to make sure those changes stayed good.
