"What's this?" Zac asked as he took the box.
"Open it, you'll see."
Eagerly Zac opened the box. He was surprised to find a key inside.
"A key?" Zac asked as he held it up.
"Yes, a key. A key to my place. I would like you to move in with me. If you want to."
"Of course I want to. I would love to move in with you," Zac replied with a smile on his face.
He pulled Marisa to him and kissed her deeply. He put her on her back and hovered over her. Before they realized it they were making love again.
"You make me really happy," Zac told Marisa as they lay together afterwards.
"You make me really happy too. I'm glad I met you."
"Me too Mari, me too."
…
That weekend they moved Zac's stuff into Marisa's apartment. Callen and Sara came to help, although Sara couldn't do too much with being pregnant.
"I can't believe you're moving in together. I'm really happy for you two," Callen told Marisa.
"Thanks dad. I really love him."
"Yes I can see that and I can see that he really loves you too and that he'll be good to you."
"Thanks dad," Marisa replied and gave Callen a hug.
2 hours later all the stuff was put away. They mixed the furniture with Zac's and Marisa's stuff. The stuff they didn't use went to Zac's apartment, which was up for sale including the furniture, if they wanted it.
Sara had made a lovely dinner for them and they sat down to eat. Sara was now 17 weeks pregnant. She had a beautiful baby bump, which showed perfectly in her maternity clothes.
Around 9pm Callen and Sara went back home.
"Thanks for helping dad," Marisa gave Callen a hug.
"You're welcome."
"And thank you for the lovely dinner mom," Marisa gave Sara a hug as well.
"You're welcome sweetie. I'm so happy for you two."
"Thanks mom."
They showed them out and went back inside to clean up after the dinner. Marisa poured 2 glasses of wine and together they sat on the couch.
"Here's to our first night living together," Zac spoke and they toasted.
They lay together on the couch watching a movie. Marisa felt happy at this moment, lying there in his arms. She was happy that she gave Zac a change, to get to know him better. He had helped her deal with the whole rape thing. She really loved him with all her heart. She was glad they had taken this step. It was logical; they spent almost every day and night together. Marisa was glad that he knew what she really did for work. She didn't have to lie to him.
Once the movie had ended Zac turned the TV off and picked Marisa up.
"Where are we going?" Marisa asked.
"To our bedroom," Zac answered as he kissed her.
Marisa threw her arms around his neck and kissed him back. By the time they were at the bedroom door Marisa had already gotten the belt of his pants loose and worked on his button and zipper. Zac almost stumbled against the wall as he felt her hand on him.
"Can you at least wait till we're in bed?" Zac spoke when he had regained his balance.
"Am I distracting you?" Marisa voiced in a cheeky tone.
"Oh you know you are," Zac smirked at her.
He playfully threw her down on the bed causing Marisa to squeal. Zac looked at her for a second. He couldn't believe how his life had turned out. He loved every moment he got to spend with Marisa. He loved her so much. He was really happy to be living together with her now. It was the next step in their relationship.
Marisa sat up and pulled him down on the bed with her. Clothes were quickly taken off and tossed on the floor. They made love all over the bedroom until they were both too tired. Exhausted but very content they fell asleep in each other's arms.
…
Sara and Callen went to sleep as well. Once they were in bed he laid his head down on top of her stomach. He stroked his hand over her baby bump. Sara almost cried as she took in the picture. Callen looked up as he heard her sob and noticed the tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Callen asked concerned.
"Nothing, it was just really sweet seeing you lay there. Stupid hormones."
Callen put his hand on her cheek and kissed her. "I love you both very much."
"I love you too honey and I'm sure the baby does too."
"I can't wait to meet the little guy of girl," Callen spoke as he rubbed her stomach.
"Me neither, but we have to wait a while. I'm only 17 weeks."
"I know. But I still can't wait."
"Me neither. I hope you're not away on business when I go into labor."
"I will not let that happen. I promise I will be there for you when you go into labor."
"Promise?"
"I promise honey." Callen gave her a kiss. "I wouldn't miss it for the world. Come on let's get some sleep."
Callen lay down on his back and Sara lay her head down on his chest as Callen moved his arms around her.
"Goodnight honey," Sara spoke.
"Goodnight baby," Callen replied.
Around 2am Sara shook up in the bed causing Callen to wake up too. Sara immediately had her hands on her stomach.
"Sara, honey, what's wrong?" Callen asked concerned. Sara turned around and fell against his chest. Callen moved his arms around her. Callen didn't know what was going on. "Hey, it's okay honey. It's okay I'm here." Callen heard her sobbing. "It's okay sweetie. Sshhhh it's okay. I'm here, I've got you."
"I'm sorry G," Sara spoke as she wiped away the tears.
"It's okay Sara. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it was just a bad dream."
"It got you pretty worked up. What happened?"
Sara sighed. "I went into labor and you weren't there and I couldn't reach you," Sara sobbed.
"Oh honey, I told you that I won't let that happen. I promised I would be there and I will."
"You don't know that. You could get called away for an undercover job."
"If that will happen I promise you that I won't go when you're close to your due date."
"You won't?" Sara asked as she looked up to him.
"No, I won't. I'll make sure Hetty sends someone else. I'm not gonna miss our baby being born. I missed it with Marisa, I'm not gonna miss it again. I promise you."
"Thanks G."
"You're welcome Sara. Come on let's go back to sleep."
"Can you hold me?"
"Of course. I'm right here honey."
….
Monday they had to go back to work. Callen was still sidelined. He still had 6 weeks off. He felt fine and wanted to get back to work.
"No G, you're not coming back to work yet. I know you feel fine but you're staying home for another 6 weeks," Sara argued with Callen.
"You said it yourself, I feel fine."
"Yes, you may feel fine but you're not ready for field work yet. You will stay home until the doctor clears you."
"Come on Sara, you know I'm going crazy sitting here at home."
Sara sighed, she wasn't in the mood to fight to Callen. "Fine, I'll ask Hetty if you can do some desk work already."
"Great, let's go."
"I'll ask her today and if she says yes you can come with me tomorrow, not today."
"Come on Sara. I need to work."
"No, you need to stop being so stubborn and let your body heal," Sara spat at him angrily then she wanted. Callen was taken aback by her outburst. "I'm sorry. Can you just stay home for one more week and then you can come back to do some desk work? Please honey."
Callen sighed. He knew Sara was right. "Alright, one more week."
"Thank you honey." Sara gave him a kiss. "I'll see you later."
"See ya." Callen gave her another kiss and then kissed her stomach. "Be good to mommy today."
Sara smiled. She loved it when Callen spoke to her stomach. She gave Callen one more kiss and left for work.
"Ugh," Sara spoke as she threw her keys on her desk.
"Everything okay mom?"
"Yeah. Just your father can be really stubborn sometimes."
Sam chuckled. He knew all too well how stubborn Callen could be. "He's begging to come back to work?"
"Yep. We kinda had an argument about it this morning. I got him to stay home for one more week. I told him he could start doing desk work then."
"We both know that's not gonna happen. If he's back, he'll go out in the field."
"Yeah I know."
"Well at least you got him to stay home for another week."
"Yeah, that's something at least."
Eric whistled and they went up to get briefed. Marisa and Kensi had to go undercover. They would pose as models. They received Intel that a modeling agency was used as a front for a Mexican terrorist organization. The organization used the modeling agency as a way to get their military grade weapons into Mexico. Kensi and Marisa went home to pack some stuff for their undercover mission. Zac wasn't home when Marisa walked in. She sent him a text.
'Hey baby, I have to go undercover for work. Don't know how long I'll be gone. I won't have my phone with me so you can't reach me. I'll have my mom update you if the case lasts overnight. Love you.'
When Marisa was done packing her stuff her phone chirped. She had a text from Zac.
'Hey Mari, thanks for letting me know. Please be careful out there. I'll miss ya. Love you.'
'I will. See you when I get back.'
She went back to the office and got her backstopping from Eric. Marisa was going in as Lisa Marquez and Kensi was going in as Gabriela Sanchez. Eric had got them in the modeling agency. They just had to make it official. Their backstopping included having ties to a Mexican terrorist organization. They changed into some cute looking outfits and went to the agency.
"So you two have what it takes to become a model here?" Fabio Fernandez spoke with a Spanish accent.
"Yes we do," Kensi answered with her Spanish accent.
"Your portfolios are really impressive. Walk for me."
Kensi and Marisa did their runway walk for him.
"Bueno. Muy bueno. Welcome aboard."
"Gracias," Marisa replied.
"A friend of mine is having a show here tonight in LA. I want you two to walk in that show. I'm sure my friend will feel the same way."
"Gracias."
"The other girls are in the back. You can meet them."
Kensi and Marisa walked to the back room while looking around for any clues. Kensi and Marisa sat at the table with them. Marisa grabbed her phone and took a video of all the girls there and sent it to Eric.
"I wouldn't mind being in the same room with them," Deeks spoke as the photos appeared on the big screen.
"Which is why Mr. Deeks," Hetty spoke as she walked in. "We didn't send you undercover."
"I could've handled it Hetty."
"Of course you would Mr. Deeks. Anything on these models Mr. Beale?"
"None of them are real models. They are all Mexican and have ties to the terrorist organization. They are all here illegally."
"Inform Ms. Mathews and Ms. Blye."
"Yes Hetty."
"Mr. Deeks, Mr. Hanna, suit up for tonight. You're going to a runway show."
"Awesome," Deeks replied.
"Don't be distracted by the women Mr. Deeks."
"Of course not Hetty."
"Don't worry Hetty. I'll make sure he won't be."
Deeks and Sam suited up for tonight. Kensi and Marisa were getting ready for the show. So far there was nothing suspicious. As they walked on the runway they noticed Deeks and Sam sitting in the audience. The runway went perfectly normal. Sam and Deeks looked around for anything suspicious but there was nothing there.
Kensi and Marisa went back to the modeling agency after the show. They sat there and talked about the show. Marisa excused herself to go to the bathroom. She wondered through the halls, searching for anything out of the ordinary.
"What are you doing here?" Fabio's voice sounded through the hall.
"I was just looking for the bathroom."
"It's that way, 3rd door on your left," Fabio pointed.
"Thanks."
Marisa quickly walked away. Fabio looked at her as she walked away.
"Alright ladies, good show tonight. We'll see you again tomorrow," Fabio told everyone and he headed out. Kensi and Marisa hid somewhere in the building and waited until everyone had left. Eric helped them by shutting off the alarm. They looked around but they couldn't find anything. Marisa linked the computer so Eric could take the files off of it. Kensi placed a bug in Fabio's office.
Once Marisa and Kensi were out Eric put the alarm back on. Kensi and Marisa went back to their undercover house.
"How's the undercover op going?" Callen asked Sara.
"Good so far. Kensi and Marisa are in and have started looking. Not much yet, but we'll get there. Don't worry honey Marisa will be fine."
….
4 days later they finally had the answers they were looking for. A shipment with new military grade weapons was going down later that day. Kensi and Marisa suited up for the takedown as well. They followed the shipment to Mexico. They got assistance from the federales.
They waited until the shipment was at its end destination.
"Federal Agents! Hands were we can see them!" They yelled as they stormed the compound.
There was heavy gunfire. In the end all the members of the terrorist organization were killed. They secured the shipment and went back the LA. A team was already in place to take down Fabio and his men. Marisa and Kensi were not part of this takedown. They were in with the other models and arrested along with everyone else. They were taken to a separate location.
The models were deported back to Mexico while Fabio and his men when to federal prison. It was past midnight when they were done with the case. Kensi and Marisa went back to the office to get their stuff.
It was dark when Marisa walked into the apartment. Quietly Marisa walked through the apartment and into the bedroom. Zac was asleep in the bed when she walked in. Quietly she changed and got into bed. Zac stirred as Marisa crawled close to him. Marisa gave him a soft kiss on his cheek and crawled into his arms. She was happy to be home again. She had missed Zac. It didn't take long before she fell asleep.
The next morning Zac woke up and he felt someone lying on his chest. He looked down and saw Marisa lying there. She was home again. He pulled her closer and gave her a soft kiss on her head. Marisa stirred as he kissed her.
"Good morning honey," Marisa spoke softly.
"Good morning Mari." Marisa lifted her head and gave Zac a deep kiss. "What time did you get home?"
"Past midnight. You were asleep already so I didn't want to wake you."
"I wouldn't have minded that. I've missed you."
"I've missed you too."
"Case solved?"
"Yes, case solved."
"Good."
Zac turned them around so Marisa was lying on her back and he kissed her deeply and passionately. Marisa eagerly kissed him back. God she had missed him and by the feeling of his kisses, he had missed her too. Zac moved his lips down to her neck. Marisa moaned as Zac kissed her spot. Zac kissed her more eagerly as he heard her moan. She was so intoxicating to him; he loved every part of her body. Zac kissed every part of her body as he removed her pajamas and panties. Marisa felt how excited he was as he pressed against her. Marisa made quick work of his boxers. Zac lay in between her legs and pushed himself inside. They made love very passionately. They put all their feelings into their love making. They wanted to let the other feel how much they love the other and how much they had missed each other. They rolled around so much that they ended on the floor.
"Wow, that was really amazing," Marisa uttered. "Maybe I should go away more often."
"I'd rather not. I'd miss you too much."
Marisa rolled onto him. "I'd miss you too much too. But this is nice way to make up for that."
"Oh yes it is, definitely. But we can still do this without you having to go away."
"I know." Marisa kissed him. "I know." Before Zac could pull her back down Marisa stood up with the sheets around her. "Care to join me in the shower?" Marisa asked cheeky as she showed up piece of her covered skin.
Zac didn't have to be asked twice. "Race ya."
Marisa dropped her sheets and ran to the bathroom with Zac behind her. Just before she wanted to walked in the bathroom Zac picked her up and held her back causing Marisa to squeal. All kissing they walked into the bathroom and into the shower. They jumped as the cold water hit their bodies but the beam quickly turned warmer. Zac picked Marisa up and pushed her against the wall as he kissed her neck. Marisa automatically wrapped her legs around him. They made love under the shower once more.
They didn't have to go to work today since it was Saturday.
"How about we stay in bed all day today?" Marisa suggested.
"I'd like that," Zac replied.
Once they were dried off Zac carried her to back to the bedroom. Zac went to the kitchen and got them some breakfast. They ate in bed as they watched some TV. They couldn't keep their hands off each other. By lunch time they had made love 2 more times.
They lay in bed all day watching TV and occasionally they made love. Every time seem to be more perfect than the previous one. They ordered in Chinese and momentarily got out to eat dinner.
"How about we go get ourselves a nice hot bubble bath?" Marisa suggested.
"I'd love that. Why don't you grab some wine and I'll fill the tub."
"Deal," Marisa replied as she kissed him.
When she came in the bathroom Zac had lighted the candles and put some soft music on. It looked really romantic. She put the glasses on the side and they got in the tub. Marisa sat with her back against Zac and he had his arms around her.
"I could stay like this forever," Marisa stated.
"Me too. I love you so much," Zac whispered in her ear, his voice filled with emotion.
"I love you too." Marisa tilted her head back and kissed him.
Their lives were perfect right now, being here together, enjoying each other's company. They stayed in the tub until the water ran cold. They put on their pajamas and watched a movie in bed.
In the middle of the night they were woken up by a loud noise.
