A/N: And we've reached the end.*sniff, sniff*

When I first came up with Playing House I never expected it to get this big of a responce. You guys are the best and I want to thank each and every one of you for reading, following, favorating and reviewing. I also want to thank my beta and best friend Mary who has been just amazing.

This chapter is a little different that the previous ones and I hope that you don't get confused.

Disclaimer: If I did own it, Densi would already be in the process of making little ninja assasins.

Enjoy and see you at the bottom.

On the 2nd month after their date, they shared their first "I love you."

They were chasing a lead. They got trapped in a shipping container and there was nothing they could do. So they sat on the floor, into each others arms, deciding to spend their last moments together. Kensi was the first to say it.

"I love you."

It took him a moment to register Kensi's voice, but when he did and looked into Kensi's mismatched orbs. They showed pure love.

"I love you too." he replied as he leaned down to press a sweet kiss on her lips.

Sam and Callen found them two minutes later.

In month 5, Deeks finally found out what was in the box.

It was Deeks' birthday. After the night out with the team, he and Kensi went back to the Mission. He took the box and opened it. Inside was another box.

"Of course." Deeks said laughing. He opened it too. He was greeted with a heart-shaped box. He raised an eyebrow in question.

"Open it." Kensi ordered.

And he did. There was a piece of paper on top of two necklaces. He picked it up and read it.

"My heart belongs to you now. It's very fragile. Handle it with care."

Kensi had been right. Her heart was the thing Deeks had wanted most in his life.

He folded the paper and took the necklaces. The one had the letter "K" hanging from the chain, while the other had the letter "M" hanging from its chain. He wore the one with the "K" letter and Kensi wore the "M" letter. They promised to never take them off. They never broke that promise.

In month 8, the team found out about their relationship.

During a case they stumbled upon none other than Jack. He even had the nerve to ask Kensi out on a date. She politely declined, but he insisted.

Deeks acted before he could think. He grabbed him by the neck and shoved him against Kensi's car. He threatened to kill him if he ever approached his girlfriend again and made him apologise to Kensi. They never saw him again.

Sam and Callen admitted that it was about time that they got together, but that didn't let Deeks off the hook, as they had a talk later, threatening to kill and dispose of Deeks' body if he ever hurt Kensi.

Hetty, being Hetty, already knew about their relationship.

Nell and Eric didn't react as they knew too. Deeks and Kensi might have been caught by them kissing at the beach a few weeks prior, where they made a deal that they wouldn't tell the rest of team. They were trained federal agents, they would have figured it out sooner or later.

In month 10, Deeks joined NCIS.

It was an unusual cold day for Los Angeles when Lt. Bates called Deeks in his office. He wanted Deeks to go undercover for an unknown amount of months. Deeks couldn't do that to Kensi. Deep cover might have been a common thing before he took the liason position in NCIS, but it wasn't anymore.

He and Kensi couldn't be apart for more than two hours, how the hell were they supposed to stay apart for months, in which Deeks was going to be in constant danger without having Kensi to watch his back. It would drive Kensi insane.

So he made a decision. He removed his badge and gun, and put it on Bates office. He left saying that he would sent his papers soon.

When he arrived in NCIS, Hetty informed him that the team was at a crime scene. Deeks nodded before he stood in his desk, opened his laptop and typed the date on his resignation papers before emailing them to Bates. He then took a file from a drawer. He wrote the date and his signature before giving them to Hetty, who in turn handed him his Beretta (Deeks didn't even question Hetty how she got his gun so quickly) and a shiny new NCIS badge.

"Welcome aboard, Agent Deeks." Hetty said before he left for the crime scene.

When Deeks told his team about the exchange, Callen gave him a handshake, Sam a half-hug/half-pat on the back, while Kensi put her hands around his neck and kissed him in front of the guys.

Nothing would have prepared him for the special surprise Kensi had for him when they wrapped up the case and returned to her apartment.

In month 12, Deeks asked Kensi to move in with him.

Their one year anniversary happened to be a Saturday. So Deeks planned that much awaited trip to Vegas.

They celebrated it by having dinner in Las Vegas' most expensive restaurant. They had a great night and when they arrived back to their hotel, they exchanged gifts.

Kensi gave Deeks her father's watch, saying that Donald Blye would have really liked him. Deeks felt tears sting the corners of his eyes. Kensi saying those words meant the world to him and it reminded him of Julia's words a year back.

Then it was his turn. He took a small blue velvet box from his jacket's pocket. Kensi gasped.

"Don't worry. I'm not proposing yet." he reassured her.

Kensi opened it. Inside it was a key to his apartment. "I don't understand, I already have a key to your place."

"You do. I'm asking you to move in with me."

Kensi took a moment. They spent every night together, but moving in together was a big step. It was, but this was the new Kensi, who wasn't afraid to speak to Deeks about her feelings. And moving in with him would be a way to tell him how much she had changed and that she trusted him.

"Yes."

Instead of moving to Deeks' or Kensi's apartment, they chose to buy a house. They might not have been getting married, but they both knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Hetty found them a house near the beach and the Mission. It was two-storey with a big backyard and front porch and the white-picked fence. Hetty might have pulled many strings as it was cheaper than they expected.

Their teammates were more than happy to help them with the moving out and it. It took Kensi almost a month to go through her staff, half of which she sold or gave away. By month 14, they had moved in and they celebrated it with a barbeque, in which Nell and Eric announced their engagement.

In month 18, Deeks proposed.

It was a Sunday afternoon. They had spent the day at the beach. Deeks surfing and Kensi playing with Monty.

They were watching the sunset, Kensi sitting in between Deeks' legs, her back to his chest. The orange, pink and yellow lights fell on Kensi's face, making her mismatched eyes shine. In Deeks' opinion, she had never looked more beautiful.

"Marry me?" he asked. There were no big declarations of love, or a one-knee bent or a diamond ring.

Kensi turned her head to look at him. In his eyes she could everything he felt for her. To her, his eyes spoke louder than all the words combined. Getting married was not something necessary as it would not change the way they felt or acted around each other. It would be an opportunity for them to make more happy memories, together. Nothing more and nothing less.

He gave her the ring when they got home. He had purchased it a few months after they got together. They didn't tell the team, they found out three weeks later, when they were called in Sunday morning and Kensi had forgotten to take it off. Nell's scream when she noticed it could be heard all the way to Sacramento.

In month 24, they got married on their second anniversary.

It was a small and simple ceremony in the beach as neither Deeks or Kensi were very religious.

Hetty was the one to marry them (of course she would do that too). Hetty also allowed Ray to come back to LA only for the wedding and become Deeks' best man. Eric, Sam and Callen were his groom men. Nell was Kensi's maid of honor. Rose, Callen's fiancé, Joel, who knew about Callen's real job and was liked by everyone on the team, and Ray's wife Jenna, who was holding their daughter Stefanie, were Kensi's bridemaids. It was Julia who walked Kensi down the rose petal filled aisle.

The moment she stepped foot on the beach, Deeks forgot everyone else and focused only on Kensi. It was their moment. She took his breath away. She was wearing a simple strap-less white dress which hugged her curves perfectly. She had her hair down in soft curls, no vail and the only jewellery she wore were a pair of blue earrings and the necklace with the letter of his name on. Deeks wore his own necklace under his white shirt. He wore the watch Kensi had given him on their one year anniversary.

Their vows made all the guests tear up, even Sam.

When Hetty asked for the rings, Monty, who was dressed in a mini tux, moved from where he stood next to Deeks and went to stand next to Hetty. When Hetty pronounced them husband and wife, Deeks didn't wait for her to give him permission to kiss the bride, as he placed his hands on Kensi's waist, kissed her and then they swirled around, Kensi wrapping her arms around his neck.

The reception was held in their backyard. Eric sang the song of their first dance as a married couple.

They spent their honeymoon in Italy.

In month 38, they welcomed into the world their first child, a son by the name of Donald Andrew Deeks.

He had the name of Kensi's dad, but he was a spitting image of his father, blond hair, blue eyes and the biggest smile on the world. With Deeks' choice of name, Kensi fell in love with him even more, something she thought was not possible.

In month 56, Nell and Eric had a son too, Mike, who looked just like Eric.

Even though Mike was younger than Don, they became best friends. Mike, being his parents' son, was super intelligent, which resulted to him going to kindergarten a year earlier and being at the same class as Donald.

In month 68, it was Callen's turn to be a father.

He and Joel had got married in month 59.

They had triplets. A son named Gabriel, a daughter named Amy and, finally, another daughter who took his mother's name, Clara.

Callen never found out what G stood for, but after the arrival of his three children, it didn't matter anymore.

In month 88, Deeks and Kensi had a daughter, Denise.

She was a spitting image of her mother, with mismatched eyes, one brown and one blue. Donald was very protective of his little sister.

Monty died two months later. It was more than expected as the dog had reached its time. He left behind a lot ofpuppies, which were given to the rest of the team.

In month 98, Nell and Eric had twin daughters, Marley and Maya.

Marley, the first daughter, was a mix of them, having blond hair and hazel eyes, while the second, Maya was a clone of Nell.

In month 104, Hetty retired.

When Hetty retired, Callen was assigned as the new Operation Manager. Sam didn't stay without a partner for long, as Nate decided to move in LA for good, when his wife of three years, Rose, informed him that she was pregnant. So Nate partnered up with Sam, who became the team leader.

In month 167, they said goodbye to Hetty.

It was the circle of life, but that didn't make it any less painful.

Deeks' and Kensi's daughter, Denise, chose to follow her father's footsteps and become a lawyer, while their son, Donald, chose to follow his mother's footsteps and join NCIS, only to become the Director in the end.

Nate's and Rose's daughter, Shannon, became a doctor just like her parents, only that she treated the living and treated them physically.

Callen's and Joel's daughters chose more artistic jobs. Amy had a big talent in drawing so she became a painter, while Clara had a love for books and became a famous author. She even wrote a book describing how her crazy family came together, which became a best seller. Their son Gabriel developed a love for fast cars and became a Formula 1 driver.

Sam's and Michelle's daughter Alicia, who had a soft spot for dogs, opened a dog resque center while their son Jake enlisted to the Marines and became a NAVY SEAL like his father.

Eric's and Nell's son, Mike, became a professor in MIT at the age of 18, while their daughter Marley, who inherited her parents intelligence too, became an analyst for NCIS and last but not least, their second daughter, Melissa, became the youngest and first female President of the United States.

Deeks and Kensi lived their lives to the fullest, with no regrets. They had children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and enough near death experiences to last two lifetimes. They watched their children grow up, find good jobs, get married and have their own children. They died happy, wrapped into each others arms, their necklaces tangled together.
