It had been a couple of days undercover and nothing had turned up so far, until day 3 went the house was empty, Eric helped Callen get into the house by disengaging the alarm system and was able to bug the phones and put camera's up. Eric's warning that Bairstow was on his way home Callen exited the house and had just made in back into their house as Bairstow pulled up in the drive way. Callen walked into the front room and heard the waling of the child and figured it was time to go and meet Mr Bairstow, Richard Bairstow if his memory served him correctly
"Hi, is everything okay" Callen asked Richard turned around
"Oh Hi your Emmeline's husband right" Richard said sounding a little frantic "she's working with my wife Whitney" Callen nodded at what he said
"Yeah Elijah, do you need some help?" Callen asked
"Could you grab Jasmine, Finn has just decided to be sick I need to get in and bath him" Richard answered sound exhausted
"Sure I can do that" Callen replied and walked around and picked up the waling baby who instantly stopped
"You've got the magic touch, I mean you really do, Jasmine is quite the temperamental little girl" Richard said "follow me, I'm so sorry for this we usually have a nanny but she called in sick, I thought I would be okay but I forgot it was vaccination time" Callen winced "yeah I don't like them either but it protects the kids and keeps the wife happy, you can just put her down in the lounge room" Richard gestured "and to add the strain even more could you sit with her until I've bathed this little monster". Callen tried to put the little girl down in a bassinet but the waling started again, he picked her up again
"I'll try not to be long, Whitney should be home soon for lunch too, thanks for this Elijah" Richard said smiling and disappearing upstairs. Callen looked down at the little bundle he had cradled in his arms
"What's the matter with you, hey" Callen said softly to the little girl, she poked her tongue out a couple of times before yawning widely, she grabbed Callen's finger then and held on tightly, "You've got quite a grip there little one" he said smiling down at her. A car pulled into the driveway Whitney and Nell got out Callen wasn't expecting her Nell as well. Whitney stopped dead when she saw him but she was smiling.
"Richard had to bath Finn, he was a little unwell in the car on the way home, and I came over to see if he needed any help and Jasmine here, has become quite attached" Callen told her he went to hand to Whitney who held her hands up
"No, you've got her quiet, I'll go get her bottle and then we can do the hand over" Whitney said smiling happily "it's amazing, she usually only tolerate Richie and I and she absolutely hates strangers, there must be something about you" Whitney said before disappearing
"Look at you" Nell smiling walking over to stand in front of him, she looked down at the baby "hi there" and Jasmine smiled that made Nell giggle and mad the baby smile again. Callen and Nell stayed for lunch at the Bairstow's and after Whitney and Nell went back to work, Callen went back to the house and he lazed around the house for a few hours reading a book, when that got boring he went and changed and did a few laps of their swimming pool, he'd just finished when he saw Nell sitting at the edge of the pool watching him, she'd changed out of her work clothes.
"Are you coming in" Callen asked her
"Nah, I'm okay sitting here" Nell replied but Callen didn't like that answer so he pulled her in, she almost shrieked
"Shhh, you don't want the whole neighbourhood to hear that might think something's wrong" Callen laughed. Nell wrapped her legs around his waist "I missed you today you know" and he claimed her mouth with a very hot and hard kiss.
"Really" Nell giggling and grinning like a Cheshire cat as Callen started trailing kisses down her neck "how about we take this inside so we aren't giving the neighbours a show"
"That sounds like a plan" Callen smiled.
