- Callen's house -
Callen had spent the time after breaking up with Lauren drinking. He wanted to go over there and just get back together with her. He was not expecting for his door bell to ring and so he gets up and walks over there.
"What are you doing here?" Callen says in a drunken state.
"Hetty came over to my place and told me that you were behaving badly since you broke up with me." Lauren reveals to her ex-husband. "Plus your son misses you now."
"Don't bring him into this Lauren." He says in a warning tone.
"He's in it. He feels that you are leaving both of us and you know something so do I. I know that you don't trust me now but I need you to be there for our son." Lauren reveals to him. "I need you there for me too." Callen kisses her and they make love.
- The next morning -
Lauren gets out of the bed the next morning heading home to be with her son before they leave for work. Callen was already at work when she left. She really thought that she and Callen were back together but by the time that she got to work. Callen was back not talking to her.
"What is with this Callen?" She asked her boyfriend "We made love last night and now you are giving me the silence treatment again."
"I am going for joint custody between you and me so that way I can see Eric." Callen responds to her as he walks away.
"Callen, wait. I would never stop you from seeing Eric. He needs his father." She cries as Hetty comes into the room.
"What's going on?" Hetty asked them.
"Callen wants to have joint custody of our son since he thinks that I will Eric away from him." She cries to Hetty.
"Alright, listen to me both of you. You two need to work out this between the two of you. I am tried of seeing her cry here. That's should not be allow. Take it to the boat house or I will have Sam lock you both there for you two to work this out. Now go!" She orders them and Callen walks towards her so they can take his car but she refuses and he knows that he is going to have to work this out.
- Boatshed -
Callen walks into the room and so does Lauren. Lauren just sits down the couch ignoring to him. Callen bends down in front of her wanting to talk.
"I know that you would never keep our son away from me but I want to be on the safe side. I love you more than anything but I don't know if I can forgive you for what you and Sam did." Callen says to her.
"Why can't we move past it and start fresh?" She asks him as he takes her hands.
"I don't know that yet." Callen responds to her as he gives her a kiss on the forehead. "Maybe if we do our date tonight like planned." He smiles at her and he knows that they are getting back together.
"Alright but who is watching our son tonight?" She asks him.
"Sam will do it. He owes us after all." Callen says to her giving her a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too. I miss when you would just hold me like you did when we were married." She reveals to her ex.
"I haven't changed at all. I still love you and wrapping my arms around you like this morning." Callen tells her as he gives her another kiss. Callen's cell starts to ring and he answers it. It was Eric wanting them back in ops. They walked back to their cars and meet at work. Sam sees that they manages to work things out between them. Callen and the rest of the team learn about the case and head out to find the suspect and get it solved.
They managed to track down the people who did it and embark on a gun fired. Deeks jumps into between a bullet and Lauren to keep her safe. Callen kills the man who tried to shoot her.
"Are you okay?" He asks Deeks as he checks on Lauren and make sure that she is fine before he checks on Deeks. He only got a shoulder wound and is fine. He goes to the hospital. Callen takes her home and decided not to go on their date tonight but spend time with Eric.
"Daddy, are you and mommy back together? Eric questions his father.
"Yes, baby. We are together again." Lauren said to her son giving him a kiss. They spend the rest of night with him and then putting him to bed. Callen decided to stay the night and sleep next to her. He loves doing this and starting to think about asking her to marry him again and this time it would be forever. The next morning, Callen wakes up to find his girlfriend is still sleeping cuddle up on him. Her head is on his chest which he doesn't mind her doing.
- Four months later -
Callen had convinced Lauren to move in with him. He wanted his family in one place instead of them living in two different places. She agree to it and was moving into his house today. Callen was helping her pack.
"Babe, you have a lot of clothes." He said as he is getting her clothes pack in her boxes.
"Sweetie, I would not be saying that because of the fact that you have seen me in those clothes and you have done things with them." She responds as her boyfriend as he comes up and gives her a kiss.
- Sam and Callen -
Callen decided that now it was time to forgive Sam for keeping his son away from him. If he would have known that Lauren was pregnant with their child then things would have been different between them. They would be married now.
"Hey, Can we talk about what happen between you and me a couple of months ago?" Callen asks his best-friend.
"Yeah." Sam agrees as they walk to the workout room.
"I am sorry about what happen to between you and me and how I reacted to the news." Callen says to him.
"It's okay man. I forgive you." Sam says to him.
"let's get back to work." Callen responds now that everything is better between the pair. Lauren smiles at them knowing that they finally worked things out. Callen walks up to her and gives her a kiss. Sam smiles knowing that things are going good.
"Hey guys, we have a new case." Eric says and then they go over the new case and it's suggested that Callen and Sam are going out-of-town and going undercover. As Callen is getting ready, Lauren wants to make sure that he is going to be safe.
"Please be careful. Both Eric and I need you to be safe." Lauren says watching her boyfriend getting ready.
"I will be careful alright. I love you." Callen says giving his girlfriend a kiss. Callen is undercover for about three weeks and today is Eric's eight birthday and wanting his father to be there.
"Mommy, when will daddy get home?" Eric asks his mom.
"I don't know baby boy. I can't believe that eight years ago, I had you." She responds to her son giving him a kiss. "Now come on and let's get ready for your birthday party."
Eric is getting ready for his birthday when someone came walking into the house. Lauren turns around and drops her glass that she was holding when she sees the person.
"Oh my god your back." She says running and giving him a kiss. "I missed you so much."
"I know baby. So did I. We got the case done and decided to come back just in time for my son's birthday. I did not know that he was born so close to our birthdays." Callen reveals to her as he is in between giving her kisses. "Come on let's go celebrate our son's birthday."
"Eric, come down here. Mommy's got a surprise for you." She says calling her son down the stairs.
"What is it?" He asks as he is coming down the stairs and stops the minute that he sees his father and starts running towards his father giving him a hug. "Daddy, I missed you."
Lauren smiles as she watches her boys interact. When Eric was born, she did not think that this would happen. Callen walks up to her son and gives her a kiss.
"I love you." Callen says as they play their favorite games to celebrate their son's birthday. He had a great night celebrating his birthday and went to bed after opening his birthday presents.
