Kensi knew that Deeks would be around in the morning to get Monty. She was already anticipating the knock at the door which came shortly after 8am. Quickly peering through her blinds Kensi spotted her shaggy-haired partner bearing gifts.
"I'm sorry about last night, I shouldn't have said anything but as usual I couldn't keep my big mouth shut and I'm sorry." Deeks said, handing over a packet of donuts and a large coffee, an obvious peace-offering.
Kensi took the items from his hands and stepped aside to let him in.
"Hey buddy, did you miss me?" Deeks asked, leaning down to pat Monty who greeted him with an obligatory tail wag.
"Do you have any plans for today?" Deeks said, returning to his feet and standing in front of her.
"Nope." Kensi said, removing one of the donuts from the packet, not bothering to offer him any.
"Why don't you come to the beach with me this morning?" Deeks offered casually, placing his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
"Not really in the mood." Kensi replied.
"Come on Kens, some fresh air, it'll do you good." Deeks said, the desperate plea reached his eyes as concern clouded the ocean blue coloring.
The longer Kensi looked at him the more her resolve broke down. "Fine..." She conceded.
"Great let's go." Deeks said enthusiastically to Monty.
"See what'd I tell ya? It's beautiful out here." Deeks gloated. The scene was truly magical as the sun streamed down and the waves crashed gently against the shore. It was a picturesque scene, almost out of a postcard.
"It is." Kensi said softly, yet Deeks could tell that even the most beautiful weather wasn't going to cheer her up.
"Hey, come on, we'll go sit somewhere." Deeks said, offering her his hand.
Kensi contemplated taking it, the genuine care and warmth in the look he was giving her tempted her yet she remained firm in her resolve. Sitting somewhere would mean having to talk and that was the last thing that she wanted. "I like being here." Kensi said, throwing a stick for Monty to chase after.
"Okay..." Deeks said, accepting her decision, just glad that she had agreed to come out with him.
Once Deeks dropped Kensi off home she rushed off to the bathroom muttering something that sounded an awful lot like "I'm going to be sick..."
"You don't look too good, are you sure you don't need a doctor?" Deeks asked, as she returned from the bathroom.
"No." Kensi replied in a firm tone.
"How long have you been feeling like this?" Deeks asked, putting his hand on her forehead to check for signs of a temperature.
"A few days, I'm sure it'll pass." Kensi replied, shrugging it off.
"If you say so..." Deeks said looking at her sceptically.
"I'm fine Deeks, you should get going, you'll be late for work."
"Great, just what I need." Kensi muttered looking down at her phone vibrating on the table. Putting on a happy voice she answered the phone. "Hi Mom."
"Hello dear, I don't mean to bother you but I was wondering if I could come over later and bring you some soup."
"Why would you do that?" Kensi asked sceptically.
"Well Marty told me that you weren't feeling well this morning, so I thought that it might help.."
Making a mental note to kill Deeks when she was feeling better, Kensi sighed. "I'm fine Mom, really, you don't have to bother."
"Nonsense, I've already made you two different types of soup so I will be over in an hour or so."
"Ugh..." Throwing the phone down, Kensi collapsed down on the couch, resting her hand over her forehead.
"Hi darling, how are you feeling?" Julia asked.
"Much better, thanks, you really didn't have to come over." Kensi replied.
"I wanted to make sure that you were okay, besides I haven't seen you much lately because of work and all..." Julia's voice trailed off slightly, a sense of sadness in her tone.
"I know... I was undercover..." Kensi said.
"And it's classified right?" Julia replied, understanding that her daughter's career had its drawbacks.
"National security and all." Kensi said somewhat sarcastically.
"Right, well I bought you a few supplies so you wouldn't have to go out until you're feeling better." Julia said heading straight over to the fridge. "Kensi, dear you should really clean this refrigerator out..."
"Kensi?" Julia questioned upon hearing no retort from her daughter.
"Bathroom." Kensi called out, emptying her stomach once more.
"Oh sweetheart, is there anything I can do?" Julia said, rubbing her back.
"No..." Kensi replied, feeling miserable.
"Have you finished?" Julia asked sympathetically.
"I don't think there's anything left..." Kensi complained.
"Come on sweetheart, let's get you on to the couch." Julia said helping Kensi up to her feet.
"How long have you been feeling like this?" Julia asked as Kensi lay down on the couch.
"Last couple of days..."
"Oh, you haven't had a fever or anything like that? No headache? Chills?" Julia said, placing her hand over Kensi's forehead.
"No."
"Sweetheart, there's no chance that you're pregnant is there?" Julia asked innocently.
"No what?" Kensi snapped her head up towards her mother.
"Sorry I just thought I would ask, it's probably just a stomach bug... unfortunately there's not much you can do except keep up the fluids." Julia replied.
As Julia's words sunk in Kensi suddenly felt the walls collapsing in around her, pregnant? No, she couldn't be... Right?
"Uh Mom... Do you mind if I try to get some rest right now?" Kensi said.
"Of course not dear, do you want me to go?" Julia asked.
"Sorry..."
"Don't be, that's perfectly fine, you call me if you need anything alright?"
"Of course, thank you."
Pacing outside the doctor's office later that afternoon, Kensi was incredibly tense.
"Thanks for seeing me at such short notice." Kensi said nervously taking a seat in front of Dr Smith.
"That's quite alright, what can I do for you today?" Dr Smith asked, offering a warm smile.
"I... well... I've been sick the last few days... throwing up... I just... well... I wanted to know if maybe I was pregnant?" Kensi said.
"Okay, when does this sickness come on? Is it in waves? How long does it last?" Dr Smith proceeded with a few questions before sending Kensi away to conduct a urine sample.
"We should find out in a few minutes." Dr Smith said trying to ease some of Kensi's nerves.
Kensi simply nodded her head, clasping her trembling fingers together in an effort to steady the shaking.
"Okay, here we go." The doctor said, receiving the results. "It is a positive result, you are going to be a mother." Dr Smith announced, offering her a smile.
Kensi froze. "Um wow... I don't really know what to say..."
"I will let you take a moment, then we can discuss some things to ease the morning sickness." Dr Smith said, leaving the room.
Kensi put the lack of having her period down to the stress of the undercover assignment, she didn't once think that she might be carrying a child...
Let alone his child...
What was she going to do?
