As they approached the house that the marine had to buy Cameron had been looking out of the window and saw that Brampton Realty was selling the house. She was sitting in the back of the Challenger and Sam and Callen had been arguing all the way to the house. She groaned as they started to argue about something again but she wasn't really listening. She grinned as an idea came to her. She cleared his throat,
"Boys?" they didn't hear her, sighing she whistled and as they gripped their ears as they turned to look at her.
"Was that really necessary?" Callen asked her.
"Yes I did try nicely." She replied. "But you two were arguing like an old married couple."
"Where did you learn to do that?" Sam asked her. He thought that only Eric and Hetty could do that whistle.
"Eric." She answered simply. They looked at her in shock,
"But surely you've only heard him do that once?" Sam asked her.
"I'm a quick study. Now I have an idea. Get out of the car in two minutes." She smiled and left the car before they could complain. As she approached the front door and took a deep breath before knocking. A middle-aged woman answered the door,
"Yes?" she asked Cameron.
"Hi I'm Nicola Sheridan from Brampton Realty. I know this is short notice but I have a couple of clients that would like to look at your house." She said pointing towards the car where Sam and Callen were standing and from where she was standing it looked like they were arguing again. The woman looked at Cameron.
"We didn't get a message that you were coming."
"Yes I know. I do apologise again but you see the little one?" she asked pointing towards Callen. The woman nodded, "Well to say he's being difficult is a bit of an understatement. We were actually driving to the office and he saw your house and he just had to have a look at your beautiful home. If, of course, it would be alright with you and your family?" the woman continued to look at Sam and Callen and then sighed,
"What are they called?"
"Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson." The woman looked at her sceptically. Cameron laughed,
"Yeah I know. They're parents definitely had a sense of humour."
"Which ones which?"
"The little one is Mr Grayson." She heard a chortle in her ear and knew that it had to be Eric.
"Get them over here. My husband is out at the park with the kids and he doesn't really like gay people. So please hurry." The woman turned away and went inside the house and missed Cameron's reaction of total shock. She waved the boys over and they ran over to her. As they approached she heard Callen say,
"When we get in there I'm in charge." As he passed Cameron she said,
"I bet you say that to all the boys." She laughed at his look and winked at him. "Just keep arguing and I'll get her to open up out here." Sam ignored her, she must have upset him making a mental note to apologise she followed them indoors. Within a couple of minutes Sam and Callen were arguing, loudly. The woman came up to Cameron,
"Have they always been like that?" Cameron nodded,
"Yes I'm afraid so. I usually find fresh air helps to tune it out. Care to join me outside." When she saw her look towards Sam and Callen she added, "I assure you they will take the utmost care in your home." Cameron headed outside and waited for the woman to appear. A couple of minutes she came out with a glass of water and two tablets.
"I don't know how you do it Miss Sheridan. They've only been here ten minutes and I already have a headache." Taking the water and swallowing the pills she smiled after she had finished the water.
"Thank you. You had many people come and have a look?"
"Not really. We had a marine come by a couple of months ago but nothing since. It's been really frustrating actually. We were so close with the marine and then he dropped out at the last minute. Apparently he had found somewhere else that was more to his liking." Cameron nodded and turned to look at the house,
"Well I think he was a fool." She smiled warmly at the woman but she didn't return it or say anything else until Callen and Sam came outside. Sam walked to the car and Callen stopped in front of the woman and smiled that smile she had seen the night before and she could practically see the woman's legs turning to mush.
"Thank you very much Ma'am. You have a beautiful home. We'll be in touch." He waited for Cameron to say bye and then they walked to the car.
"Nicely done. Although I think next time we should make up the names before you talk to anyone." She nodded and climbed into the back seat and Sam rounded on her,
"I am not gay! Not that there is anything wrong with it of course." Cameron raised an eyebrow,
"I never said you were gay. She did."
"You didn't correct her."
"That's true but you two bicker like an old married couple! I mean come on! Can you blame her for thinking that? You might want to dial down your arguments. People will start to wonder otherwise." She sat back and looked out of the window clearly indicating that she wasn't going to discuss it anymore.
"G? Are you going to say something here?" Callen shook his head,
"No. I think she did a good job but I've already told her we're going to discuss names before she does that again."
"Or better yet you two can be married next time." Sam muttered as he gunned the engine. Callen didn't say anything and neither did Cameron but she could feel the heat travelling up her neck. Being married to Callen oh God! She thought to herself as they headed back to NCIS. When they got there Cameron was out of the car before it had really stopped and hurried to her desk. Nate and Eric were in the bullpen and they grinned when they heard Sam and Callen arguing again.
"It sounds like the Dynamic Duo are at it again." Eric muttered and Deaks started to laugh. Nate turned around as they came into the bullpen and watched Callen. Deaks abruptly stopped laughing when he saw Sam.
"What?" he demanded.
"Nothing." Deaks replied struggling to keep his laughter in. Sam growled at him and sat down and Cameron looked up at him.
"I'm sorry Sam. I didn't mean to offend you."
"You didn't. Just think about what you say next time." Cameron nodded. "Or you know just come up with a better name like Bruce Banner, Peter Parker…"
"Tony Stark?" Callen added.
"Yes. He was cool."
"But he's essentially Batman for the Marvel universe." Cameron said. They all turned to look at her. "What?"
"You really know your superheroes." Eric replied in awe.
"No I really don't. I know my movies. There's a difference. So what's next?" she asked. They all looked at Callen.
"Well we find the place that he got the better offer on. Eric?"
"I've been searching since the woman Cameron spoke to mentioned it. But I'm coming up empty."
"All right."
"Miss Mitchell?" Cameron turned around to face Hetty. "Nice improvisation. Now come with me. You're going to need change your clothes." Cameron looked down at her clothes.
"I am?"
"Yes. You too Mr Callen." Callen stood up and followed Hetty and Cameron. As they stood next to each other Hetty analysed them and then smiled, "Ah. Miss Mitchell you go in the left curtained area and Mr Callen…" Callen had already shut the curtains to the right. Five minutes later Cameron came out from behind the curtains and Hetty smiled,
"Perfect. Mr Callen?" Callen stepped out and Cameron frowned,
"He doesn't look any different."
"True but his clothes were dirty." Hetty replied.
"What's this about?" Callen asked her.
"Well I'm going to send Miss Blye to Brampton Realty to see where our marine wanted to buy his house and once she has that address you and Miss Mitchell are going to buy your first house as husband and wife." Cameron's mouth dropped open.
"Excuse me Hetty are you sure I'm ready for that? I mean shouldn't Deaks and Kensi be the married couple?" she questioned as they headed back to the bullpen.
"What? Don't you want to marry me?" Callen asked her jokingly.
"Not really. I mean not that I would say no but this is a bit much for my first day don't you think?" Nate raised his eyebrows and grinned. Cameron turned to him, "Stay out of my head Doc!" she turned back to Hetty, "Please."
"My decision is final. You and Mr Callen should probably come up with a name. We don't want you becoming Mr and Mrs Clark Kent or something." Hetty walked away and Cameron just stared after her in shock.
A/N: Please R & R and let me know what I'm doing right and what I'm not. Anything would be welcome.
