Changes
Chapter 21
Three months had passed sense Sam had left. Kensi was now five months pregnant and starting to show. She was no longer aloud out in the field unless there was no other choice. Most days Kensi sat at her desk working on cold cases or doing research for the current case. It was slowly driving her crazy but when it got too bad she just would close her eyes and rub her belly remembering the reason why she was on desk duty.
Mac and Callen had gotten used to living together and were enjoying sharing the house. Mac wanted to just go to city hall like Kensi and Deeks to get married but Hetty insisted that her granddaughter would have a proper wedding, with a proper dress.
Considering what was going on Mac and Callen had sat down Kensi, Deeks, Nell and Eric and told them about Mac's connection with Hetty. Their friends promised not to say anything outside of their group.
It was also at this time that the team was given a case involving Navy personal transporting drugs into LA. Nell was now out in the field with Deeks and was enjoying being out of the office.
Deeks and Nell were interviewing a petty officer who was on leave visiting his family when a women they didn't know interrupted them.
"Excuse me I understand your with NCIS?"
"Um yeah." Said Nell "And you are?"
"Talia Del Campo DEA." Talia looked at the smaller woman and smiled. "It seems we are working the same case."
"I'm Agent Nell Jones and this is Agent Marty Deeks." Deeks shook the woman's hand but didn't like the way she was looking at him.
"It's nice to meet you." Talia looked Deeks over and got a predatory gleam in her eyes.
"So this means?" asked Nell. She didn't like the way this woman was looking at Deeks either.
"Well my director thinks we need to team up, share information."
"Yeah I'm not about to share anything until I hear from our boss." Said Deeks. He pulled out his phone and called Hetty.
"Yes Mr. Deeks."
"Hetty I have an Agent Del Campo here from the DEA, she says she's on the same case and we are supposed to work together?"
"Oh I see she found you already. I was just about to call you and let you know. This is not my choice Mr. Deeks but she has been on this case before the Navy became aware of the connection."
"Yeah ok, we'll bring her into the boat shed."
"I'll have Callen and Mackenna meet you there."
Talia never took her eyes off Deeks. Nell finally spoke up.
"Don't get your hopes up he's married."
Talia looked at Nell. "Happily?"
"Very and she's an agent which means she's armed."
Talia had a frown on her face when Deeks rejoined them. It was then that she noticed the wedding ring.
Nell gave Talia directions to the boat shed and they left.
"You better warn Kensi about her."
"Yeah you know how she gets." Deeks shuddered to think how Kensi would handle meeting Talia. Pregnant or not Kensi could still kick her ass.
They got to the boat shed and met up with the others. Nell gave them a brief summary of the DEA agent. Poor Deeks was very uncomfortable and really just wanted to get the hell out of there.
When Talia showed up Nell introduced her to the rest of the team. They got started and Talia began to let them know what she knew.
"I've been on this case for 18 months now. It started trying to pin point who was supplying the drugs to a local cartel. We narrowed it down two months ago to three men."
She pulled out some photos from a folder. "We are still trying to find out if they are part of the cartel or freelance."
Talia leaned over giving Deeks a good look down her shirt. Deeks nearly fell over and quickly moved to get a bottle of water and to get as far away from the DEA agent as he could.
They finished up the briefing and called it a day. Talia was still trying to get Deeks to look at her. Mac leaned over to Nell.
"Does she know he's married?" Talia heard this and glared at her.
"Yep and she doesn't seem to care." Said Nell.
Callen was flipping thru the paperwork and was trying to stay out of it. He already had to deal with one crazy woman he didn't need to be in another's sights.
Just then Mac's phone rang. It was Kensi.
"Hey Kensi." Mac noticed Talia watching her with interest. "Yes your husband is here." Mac laughed. "Deeks check your phone your wife says it's going to voice mail."
Deeks pulled his phone out and realized it was on silent. He cringed and turned the ringer back on.
"Ok Kensi you can call and yell at him yourself now."
"Kensi is his wife's name?" Asked Talia.
"Yep." Answered Nell.
"So he's married to Malibu Barbie's cousin?"
Nell and Mac both laughed. "No more like G.I. Jane's little sister." Said Mac. "Trust us you do not want on her bad side."
They walked away then and just left her standing there. Talia got the hint and left telling them she would see them in the morning. Deeks waited till her car was out of the lot before heading to the SRX. Nell followed him trying not to laugh at his discomfort.
As soon as they all got back to the mission Kensi knew something was up.
"Deeks has a new girlfriend." Said Callen.
"I do not, I never did anything I can't help it she's crazy."
Hetty's jaw dropped at his outburst. Kensi narrowed her eyes at her husband.
"Agent Del Campo doesn't understand that a wedding ring means the man is off the market." Said Mac.
"Deeks." Said Kensi.
"I didn't do anything. She was the one leaning over so I could see down her shirt." Deeks swallowed hard. "I got away from her as soon as she started it."
"Don't worry Kensi Deeks really didn't do anything to encourage her." Said Nell.
"For once I'm just glad it's not me." Said Callen from the safety of his desk.
"Yeah you do seem to attract the crazy ones don't you?" said Mac.
"Well for now we need to work together with her and solve this case." Said Hetty.
That night Kensi was pissed. How dare this woman think that she could simply walk in and take what was hers.
"Kensi I promise I will not do anything to lead her on." Deeks was just as upset as Kensi was. "Trust me I'm not attracted to her in the least."
"I do trust you Deeks it's her I don't trust."
Kensi was pacing when suddenly she stoped and gasped. Deeks was on his feet and next to her in an instant. Kensi grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach.
"The baby kicked."
Deeks held still and there it was a firm tap where his hand was. He dropped to his knees and lifted her shirt. Deeks kissed that spot and rested his cheek against her stomach. He felt the baby kick again and he started to talk to it.
"Hey buddy it's your daddy. Your mommy and I can't wait for you to come out of there so we can hold you. We love you so much."
Kensi felt tears well up. She ran her fingers thru his hair and covered his hand with hers. Deeks stood and began to kiss her.
"Babe lets go to be."
Kensi smiled and took Deeks hand leading him to the bedroom.
Callen and Mac had finished washing the dinner dishes and were heading into the living room.
"Poor Deeks this DEA agent is gonna drive him crazy."
"Yeah she is. I'm just really glad she isn't after me." Said Callen as he lowered himself onto the couch.
"Don't worry I wouldn't let her mess with you."
"You better not." Said Callen laughing pulling her down onto him. "I'm not into dating two women at the same time."
"What no secret fantasy?"
"One cop is enough for me." Callen said as he began to kiss down her neck.
"You really do have an issue with handcuffs don't you?" laughed Mac.
"I just don't like to be restrained ok."
Mac had to laugh at him. Callen grabbed her legs and slid her until she was laying on the couch under him.
"Laugh all you want babe. Let's see how you like it." Callen pinned her arms over her head and proceeded to undo her pants with his free hand. Mac squirmed under him but didn't tell him to stop. Callen looked up at her and smiled. He was glad she trusted him this much.
The next morning they found themselves back at the boat shed. They had found the location of the drug drop off and were waiting on Del Campo to show. She walked in wearing a very low cut top and skin tight jeans. She found Deeks was across the room showing Mac photos on his phone.
"Kensi ordered these last night." Mac commented on the photos and Talia hated the way Deeks smiled over the phots. She wondered what this Kensi ordered that had Deeks so happy.
By the end of the day they had six Navy officers in custody five million in drugs and cash and close to a dozen dead cartel members. They were all back at the boat shed glad that it was all over.
Talia found her break when Deeks was alone on the one side of the room to make her move.
"So Deeks what do you say about having a few drinks with me tonight?"
She was almost on top of Deeks.
"Yeah I can't. Need to get home to my wife."
"Oh come on. What does she have that I don't?"
Deeks swallowed hard as Talia ran a finger down his chest.
Talia stiffened when a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist. She was spun around to see a very pregnant, very pissed off brunet looking at her.
"Is there a reason you're touching my husband?" The room was silent as everyone was watching the action across the room. Even Granger was dead quiet waiting to see what would happen.
"You're husband." Talia paled. "You're Kensi?"
"Yes I am and I'll ask you one more time before I hurt you why are you touching my husband?"
Deeks had to smile. God he loved this woman.
"I'm, um yeah I'm sorry." Talia stumbled over her words. She never expected this to be Deeks wife. For one she was no Barbie that was for sure. She was smoking hot a fact that didn't go unnoticed by Talia. No wonder Deeks was in a hurry to get home to her.
Kensi had one hand on her stomach and the other ready to smack the hell out of this bitch if she had too. Deeks moved next to Kensi and covered her hand with his.
"How's our little guy doing today babe?"
Kensi turned and smiled at Deeks. "Well he's taking after you, he can't stay still for more than a few minutes. Deeks moved his hand under hers to feel his son kick.
Talia felt so out of place. So she quickly left without saying much more. On her way out she smiled at Callen.
"Don't even think about it." Growled Mac. Callen smiled down at her and put his arm around her waist.
"Seriously are all of you dating one another?"
"What can I say we like strong women." Said Callen.
Talia huffed and walked out without another word.
Granger finally left out a laugh and told everyone to head back to the mission. Life was never dull around this group.
