Kensi was in a deep, peaceful, wonderful sleep, that is until a certain surfer began nuzzling her neck, peppering kisses in that place she loves so much. As much as she was enjoying this attention she did not appreciate being awoken so early on a Saturday morning. She groaned as she pushed Deeks' face away from her.

"Go away." She mumbled.

"Oh no, did you forget about our little bet last night? I bet you that I could get you to admit to your little game yesterday and beg me to take you. I won, and that means you get up and go surfing with me this morning."

Kensi, who still hasn't opened her eyes asked "What time is it?"

"6:05. Your wetsuit and board are out in the car. All you need to do is put on your swimsuit and clothes and meet me in the kitchen where I have your coffee waiting for you."

"Fine" she said as she threw the blankets off of herself, revealing her naked torso "but you totally cheated on that bet. You had a very unfair advantage."

"Ah, but I only had that advantage because you let me, and we both know it."

"Details. Go get me my coffee."

"Bossy today. I like it." And with a wink and a smile he left her in peace to get ready for a morning at the beach.

Once they were all loaded in Deeks' truck and on the way to the beach Deeks reached over and grabbed Kensi's hand. "So, could you please explain to me why we have to wait 2 weeks to find out if you're pregnant or not? Can't they just do a blood test or something?"

"So the quick explanation is that the time a woman is able to get pregnant is just before, during, and after she is ovulating. Basically, it is about 5 days right in the middle of her cycle. That happens to have been the point at which we used my very old condoms. It takes time, about 2 weeks, for the pregnancy hormones to build up to a point where they can be detected by a home pregnancy test, which is about the time the cycle starts over, and that lovely lady phase begins. So really, we only have to wait about 10 days. I was rounding up."

"Ok, so we wait." Deeks then gave Kensi's hand a reassuring squeeze before releasing it and put the truck in park. "You ready to show the Pacific who's boss?"

"Let me at her!"

3 hours later Kensi and Deeks were sitting on their towels, soaking up some rays while eating breakfast burritos when Kensi's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kensi, it's Sabatino."

"Oh, hey Sabatino. What's up?"

Deeks looked questioningly at Kensi and she shrugged her shoulders, letting him know that she had no idea why he was calling her.

"Um, is Deeks with you?"

"Yes, he's with me." She answered, letting Deeks know what Sabatino had asked.

"Good. I need to talk to you guys about something. Is now a good time to meet up?"

"Sure. We were just headed back to Deeks' place. I'll text you the address."

"Ok. Thanks. See you soon."

"K, bye."

As soon as Kensi hung up she explained the phone call to Deeks.

"Guess we better head to my place and get out of these wet clothes then."

"I guess so. I wonder what it is he wants to talk about. Everything seemed fine at work yesterday."

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'll get the boards if you grab the towels and bag."

"I knew I kept you around for a reason."

"I'll be your pack mule any day princess. " Deeks said with a big smile, clearly meaning it.

Kensi and Deeks got back to his apartment with enough time for them both to shower (separately since they didn't know exactly when Sabatino would be there) before Sabatino knocked on the door.

"Hey man, come on in."

"Thanks."

"Can I get you a cup of coffee or bottle of water?"

"Coffee would be great."

Deeks quickly poured out a cup of coffee and handed over to Sabatino. As everyone took their seats in the living room, Kensi and Deeks together on the couch and Sabatino in a chair opposite them, Kensi couldn't wait any longer and asked what brought him here.

"I got a phone call this morning. It was Jack." Sabatino looked at Kensi. "He wanted me to tell you he'll be flying in on Monday and he'll be in town for at least a couple of weeks."

"Why would he want me to know that? Why would he think I care what he's doing?"

"I think I better start at the beginning. Jack and I became partners about a year ago. He's not a real chatty type you know." He quickly glanced over at Deeks with a small grin. "He kept his personal life close to the vest but every once in a while, when we had a close call, he would mention his fiancé. He would say something to the effect of 'Moments like these make me want to go home and make and honest woman out of her'. He never mentioned a name or where home was or anything."

"This morning when he called he said he was finally going to do it. He asked if I was still in L.A and when I told him I was he said he was going to be coming here so that he could finally marry his fiancé. I congratulated him if there was anything I could do, you know, pick him up at the airport or anything. His answer was to tell you he was coming. When I asked why it would matter to you he told me you were his fiancé. I laughed at him and told it was a good joke. He got angry at that and told me you've been engaged for the last 9 years. I told him there must be some kind of misunderstanding because you were in a relationship but he just got really quiet and said 'Tell her I'm coming. She'll know what she needs to do.' The way he said that sent chills up my spine. What's going on Kensi? Are you really engaged to him?"

Kensi and Deeks just looked at each other for a minute, communicating their concern for the situation wordlessly. Then Kensi turned to Sabatino. "We were engaged. Nine years ago he was suffering from PTSD and I just woke up one Christmas morning and he was gone. I looked for him and waited for him for months before I realized that he didn't want to be found and he wasn't coming back. I've moved on with my life and I have no intention of having him in it ever again. I guess he'll just have to find that out the hard way."

"Well, just be careful, Ok? He has a bit of a temper."

"Yeah well, so do I!"

"I can vouch for that." Deeks said. "Thanks for the heads up Sabatino."

"Sure. Let me know if you need any help dealing with him."

"Sure thing."

Everyone shook hands and Sabatino left, hoping everything would work out smoothly.

Deeks looked at Kensi and asked "What are we going to do?"

"What can we do? We'll just have to wait until he gets here and let him know he lost his chance 9 years ago."

Deeks pulled Kensi into an embrace, tucking her head under his chin. "I love you Fern."

Kensi put her arms around Deeks' waist. "I love you too Shaggy."

A/N: I know this is short, but it was post it as-is or wait until Wednesday (My parents are visiting for the long weekend) to add to before posting. I figured since it took me so long to even get this much that it would better to post this little bit. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. Happy Memorial Day to those readers here in the U.S, and thank you from the bottom of my heart to the service men and women who have made this country what it is and continue to keep us safe.
