Couple more surprises and some fun
It was Sunday and Julia, Mike and the whole clan were getting ready to meet the junior agents other
family. Even Hetty had agree to come. Soon everyone had arrived except Sam and his family. They had been
told to wear or bring swimwear. At the present time, Julia and Mike were talking to Hetty, the wonder twins, G
and Joelle even Owen who had shown up. Marty and Kensi had gotten permission to come clean to the family
once Hetty ran a background check on them. They were watching Kensi and Deeks (her in a bikini covered by
an LAPD t-shirt) play with the kids and the dogs. At the moment it was a spirited game of tag-the dogs were
winning when Sam, Michelle and Kam came in. As Hetty introduced them to Julia's family, she ended by
saying "and I believe you know retired Admiral Feldman Sam."
"Chief how the hell are ya", Mike barked thru a huge smile wrapping Sam in a big bear hug. Everyone
looked a little surprised except Michelle who smiled. Deeks and Kensi came over as Mike went on, "I was the
C.O. (commanding officer) at Damneck when Sam was there. I was his C.O. when Aiden was born. Still keep
in touch with Aiden since he's my godson. I lost touch with Sam and Michelle but now I know why." Then letting
out a big chuckle he added "guess our 2 families are already sort of related."
All the adults took a seat after grabbing a beer from one of the coolers and for the next two hours they
talked about all manner of things. Mike told several stories on Sam. The agents all told some on each other
and Hetty told a few on all of them even Owen. Owen talked about how he knew Julia and after prodding
from Mike, told him a little about Don Blye. Hetty had made it clear that Mike and his family had been
issued clearance levels equal to that of the agents as a retired Admiral. Besides Hetty went on "after events
of the other day and Sam and Mike knowing each other, there isn't a lot of reason to be secretive." Deeks
and Kensi especially were happy with this as it meant they could always come to this house as a place of
refuge when they were hurting or when things went crazy on a case as they always do. It was like all of them
had sensed this same feeling and they knew it meant the world to the 2 junior agents. Sam had Michelle and
his family and G had Joelle and now their 2 friends had their own family.
As this was happening, the kids (Susie and JJ) introduced themselves to Kam saying "wanta have
some fun?" Kam nodded and they lead her to the other side of the yard. The dogs of course followed the kids.
All were in bathing suits. They began playing tag with the dogs, jumping in the pool, swinging and most of
all laughing and having a good time.
At that point Mike said "Chief on my 6" and led him off to a corner of the yard. Everyone else looked at
each other as Owen offered "Kensi and Deeks, your ears are gonna be burning soon." The rest nodded as
they realized he was right.
Mike looked Sam in the eye and said "I wanta know about Marty Deeks the man. He is gonna marry
my step-daughter and I want to know she's gonna be taken care of."
Sam let out a laugh and responded with "let me tell you about one of the best men God ever put on
this planet. Do not judge that book by its cover." He went on to tell Mike about how they met Deeks and how
they all treated him then he talked about the Russians and the room full of lasers, he told Mike of Vakar and
Deeks getting out of a hospital bed and then he told the whole Siderov story. He ended it by saying "Sir that
man is the reason me and my family are here alive and well. Kensi is twice the agent she was before him. She
is high maintenance, closed off and has sugar withdrawal and he never blinks, complains or reacts. He makes
her smile and I have actually heard her giggle like a girl. I will take that man as a member of my SEAL team
any time, any day, anywhere. He is totally squared away and that is amazing given where he came from. But
you know that story. Just support him and all will be good." The 2 men shook hands and walked back to the
group grabbing a beer on the way.
At that point JJ called out "Uncle Marty, Aunt Kensi come play." Sam chuckled and said "yea UNCLE
Marty, go play." As they came over to the kids, all 3 of them pulled super soakers out of the bushes and hosed
the 2 down. This started the chasing, throwing people in the pool and soon the kids and dogs were circling
Kensi and Deeks who were trapped and getting thoroughly drenched. They were all laughing so hard the 2
quasi adults had to set down. Marty leaned back spreading out on the ground followed by Kensi as both
continued to laugh hysterically. Immediately a dog stood on each one of them as it to call out 'king of the
mountain.' They were still laughing when all of a sudden Kensi raised her hand and gave Deeks a high 5. Then
the watching crowd saw Deeks do what looked like slipping a ring on her finger. Everyone began talking at
once, screaming, yelling and running over to the 2 agents still on the ground.
Julia screamed and pushed her way thru the group arriving at the fallen agents just as they were
getting up she questioned them asking "what did I just see?"
Kensi simply held up her left hand and with a huge grin stated very loudly for all to hear "I said yes."
Deeks was standing beside her beaming as everyone crowded around to see the ring, give hugs and
congratulations.
At that point Mike sent his kids in for champagne and glasses. When all had a glass full (the kids were
Drinking ginger ale) Mike said, "here's to Kensi and Deeks. I treat Kensi like my own daughter and the other
day Marty showed my what he is made of. Today Sam told me a little about him summing it up by saying 'he
can be on my SEAL team any day'. That is high praise indeed. Kensi, you have a man that can understand,
tolerate, put up with and love you forever. That combination is rare. Cherish it and both of you cherish each
other. Here's to Shaggy and Princess. May the wind be at your back and may you have fair seas for the
rest of your life." Everyone clinked glasses as Deeks just stood there looking at Sam. When their eyes met
they nodded at each other as Kensi was beaming. Finally Marty had gotten his just rewards. Life was good.
As a fitting close Hetty said "now we have a real reason to celebrate. We are definitely one big, happy
family now."
