A month later and Finn was settled into her new life in LA. Each morning she got up and went for a long run. By the time she got home Callen was usually waiting on her to ride to work. She had picked up on the undercover work like she had been doing it for years.
Finn had lost count of the amount of nights Callen had spent at her place. She finally just gave him a key. Sam loved this and teased Callen nonstop. Finn simply would roll her eyes at him and walk away.
The day Abby arrived was lucky for the team a slow day. Abby simply came walking into ops her suitcase rolling behind her.
"Hey everyone I'm here."
"Abby." Kensi was the first to great her. Eric almost fell trying to get down the stairs. Nell came up behind them and waited for Abby to let Eric go to say hello.
"Abby this is Nell."
"OMG!" Abby grabbed Nell in a bear hug. "You are soooo cute." Abby let Nell go. She smacked Eric in the arm. "Eric you didn't tell me she was so cute."
"Um yeah." Eric didn't know what to say to that. "I'm needed back up in OPS." He ran quickly up the stairs. Nell laughed and followed him.
"Hey Abby good to see you again." Said Sam.
"You to Sam. So where is my girl?"
Just then Finn came walking in with Callen close behind her.
"No."
"Yes."
"No.
"Yes."
Finn stopped and spun to face Callen. "Never going to happen Callen so get over it."
"I will not."
Abby looked at them then at Kensi and Sam. "What are they fighting about?"
"With them could be anything."
"Hey guys." Said Abby.
"Abby boy have I missed you." Finn gave her friend a hug.
"Me too. Everyone says hi." Abby spotted Callen. "G Callen how are you?"
"I'm good Abby." Callen put his arm around Finn's waist. She elbowed him. Abby raised an eyebrow at them both.
"So what's going on?"
"I'm taking Finn away for a weekend trip."
"No you are not."
"Yes I am. I already made the reservations."
"Well take Sam because I'm not going."
"Well I don't want to take Sam I want to take my girlfriend."
"Callen if you haven't noticed Abby is here. I'm spending the weekend with her not you."
"Well that's fine because our trip is next weekend."
Finn put her hands on her hips and glared at him.
"Miss Hudson why don't you leave early and enjoy your weekend with Abby." Said Hetty.
"Thanks Hetty." Finn packed up her stuff. She looked at Callen. "I'll deal with you later."
Callen simply smiled at her then pulled her in for a quick kiss. Hetty shook her heads and walked away. Finn didn't know if she should smack him or kiss him again. She chose to walk away.
"OMG you and Callen are so cute together." Abby got in the car. "So what's he like in bed?"
"Abby!"
"What?"
"I have no idea how he is."
"Are you serious? You've been here over a month and you haven't slept with him yet?"
"I sleep with him all the time we just haven't had sex is all."
"Why not?"
Finn pulled out into traffic. "You know why."
"You haven't showed him your scars yet have you?"
"He's seen the one on my lower back and the one on my leg."
"You haven't told him yet have you?"
"No."
"Finn you need to tell him."
"I know."
"You think he's going to stop wanting you when he finds out?" Abby felt for her friend.
They dropped Abby's stuff off at the house. Abby was in the bathroom and came out holding a pair of men's boxers.
"Anything you want to tell me?"
"Callen spends a lot of nights here. Says he sleeps when he's with me."
"Awwwww! That is so sweet."
The girls headed for Dinner texting Kensi and Nell to join them. They spent the evening sitting around an outdoor table laughing about everything. Abby and Nell laughed about Eric and his reaction that day.
By eleven they all headed home a bit drunk. Abby made up a bed on the couch and settled in to sleep. It was almost midnight when she woke up to find Callen letting himself in the door.
"Why hello G Callen." Abby said.
"Hey Abby sorry I woke you up."
"That's ok."
Abby settled back down. "G don't give up on her. She's been thru hell and back. Finn may not admit to it but she needs you."
Callen didn't know what to say to this. He headed to the bedroom and stripped before climbing in behind Finn. The second he wrapped his arms around her she woke up.
"You have your own home you know."
"Yes but I missed you."
Callen pulled her close and just held her.
"So where are we going next weekend?"
"San Diego. You said you always wanted to go there."
"Ok sounds nice." Finn snuggled into him and fell asleep.
Callen didn't know what Abby said to her to make Finn change her mind but he needed to thank her.
Finn woke up around six like she always did. She wanted to get a run in before her and Abby went out. It took her a minuet to realize why she couldn't move. Callen was holding her and was quietly snoring behind her.
Finn stretched and started to lift his arm. Callen simply pulled her closer. "G you need to let me up."
"No don't think so."
"I need to go for my run."
"Skip it." Mumbled Callen behind her.
Finn wanted to laugh. She settled back into his arms. She knew Abby was right she needed to tell Callen everything. He had lied to Joelle and has screwed it all up. She didn't want to take this further without him knowing. If he left then it just wasn't meant to be.
An hour later Finn finally got out from under Callen's arm. He pulled her pillow to his chest and went back to sleep. Finn found Abby making coffee.
"Morning."
"So Callen just lets himself in huh?"
"It was give him a key or let him pick my locks."
The girls drank their coffee and made plans for the day. The last trip Abby had made out to LA was for work. This weekend she wanted to see all the sights. Callen walked in closer to eight and got some coffee. The girls looked at him but didn't say anything.
Callen stopped and placed a kiss on the top of Finn's head. "So you two got your plans set?"
"Almost. Just deciding where to eat."
"Want me to come along?"
Finn looked at him. "You have nothing to do today do you?"
"Not really." Callen shrugged and looked at their list. Finally they decided where to eat and Abby ran to get a shower. Callen waited till Abby had left the room before pulling Finn into his arms. She snuggled into him and closed her eyes. "I don't have to go with you if you don't want me to."
"It's up to Abby."
"Ok I'll ask her when she comes back." Once Abby had her shower Finn went to get hers.
"So Abby do you want me to tag along or would you rather spend the day with just Finn."
"Well I was kind of hoping for a girls day." Abby looked at Callen. "How about we meet up for dinner and we can all hang out tonight?"
"Ok sounds good." Callen got his jacket. "Tell Finn to call me and let me know where to meet you."
"Where's Callen."
"He's going to meet us for dinner."
"Ok."
Abby gave Finn a look. "We need to have some girl time to take you shopping."
"Abby we're going sightseeing not shopping."
"Well we are making a pit stop at Victoria's secrets to buy you some hot little numbers for your tip."
"Abby."
"Nope we are getting you some slutty outfits."
Finn groaned. Abby would not stop until she got her way.
By dinner time they had hit everywhere Abby wanted to see. She bought several things to take back to Tony and Tim so they wouldn't feel left out. Finn texted Callen and told him to meet them at the restaurant. He was waiting outside for them when they pulled up.
Abby talked nonstop while they ate about all the things they saw that day. After they ate Eric called and wanted to know if Abby wanted to go to a new club with him. It was a Gothic club so of course Abby had to go. They drove her there and Eric promised to get her back to Finn's in one piece.
"Eric remember what happened the last time you went out with Abby."
"Yeah I know I will not leave her out of my sight."
Finn pulled the bags out of the trunk and Callen noticed the very pink bag.
"So you went shopping with Abby today?"
"Yeah she wanted to pick up a few things."
"Abby doesn't seem like a Victoria Secretes kind of girl."
"She's not that bag is mine."
Callen looked at her then tried to grab the bag. "Oh no you don't."
"Oh come one I'm going to see it all at some point."
"Don't count on it."
"Finn come on show me."
"Nope. I got this for our trip if your good you'll see it all then." Finn left him standing in the living room and went to hid the bag in her room.
When she came out Callen was sitting on the couch. "So you're really ok with this trip?"
"I'm sorry I gave you a hard time about it." Finn sat down next to him. "And yes I am ok with it."
"And you bought stuff for the trip?"
"Abby made me."
Callen laughed at this. "You know I'm not expecting anything I just want to go away for a few days and spend some time with you."
"I know and it will be nice to get away."
Callen wrapped her in his arms and they sat on the couch that way for almost an hour. One thing Callen loved about Finn was the fact they didn't need to talk. They could sit for hours just being together.
They were interrupted when someone knocked at the door. They opened the door to find a soaking wet Abby and Eric.
"Abby I am so sorry."
"It's ok Eric." Abby walked past them and into the bathroom.
"Eric what did you do?"
"I may have knocked over a candle and caught the place on fire."
"That's it Eric no more bars or clubs for you, ever." Said Callen.
"I'm fine when I'm out with the team or my friends, Abby make me nervous."
Eric headed home. They could hear him sneeze as he got in his car. Abby came out dry and in her pj's.
"I hope you guys had a better night than I did."
Finn looked at Callen. "It was quiet."
"So Abby what time is your flight tomorrow?"
"4 pm." Abby sat on the couch. "I wish I could have stayed longer but we are swamped back in DC."
"I still can't believe you flew out here for just a weekend." Said Finn.
"Well I have so much vacation time I have to use before the end of the year."
"We need to take Abby to the diner tomorrow for breakfast."
"You'll love this place Abby. We go every Sunday so Callen can OD on bacon."
Abby told them about Eric setting the club on fire. They had gotten out before anyone could figure out it was him.
"I feel so bad. Eric was trying so hard to show me a good time."
"I wonder if he does this stuff when he goes out with Nell?" asked Callen.
Once Abby went to bed Finn and Callen went into the bedroom.
"You know I'm starting to doubt the fact that you have a bed at your house."
"I do too have a bed. In fact I bought a new mattress this morning." The truth was Callen didn't want Finn in the same bed Joelle had slept in. He not only got a new mattress he ordered a brand new bed.
"So am I ever going to see this bed?"
"How about we stay at my place this week?"
"Ok."
Callen was surprised she said yes. He honestly figured she'd snap at him about it. They got ready for bed and turned in for the night.
The next morning Finn managed to get out of the bed and go for her run. She came back to find Callen and Abby drinking coffee. Callen handed her a mug and she headed to take her shower. Callen ran home to change.
"So how far away does Callen live?"
"Four blocks."
"Wow."
"Yeah I found out one morning when I went for a run."
Half an hour later they were on their way for breakfast. Abby loved the diner and laughed at the plate of bacon Callen had. After breakfast they took Abby to see a few more spots then got her to the airport in time to get her flight.
"I am going to miss you so much." Abby and Finn hugged outside the airport. Abby then hugged Callen. "Take care of her."
"I will Abby."
"I want an invitation to the wedding."
"Abby don't start."
Abby waved goodbye and headed into the airport.
"You know you're going to have to make her maid of honor."
"Don't you start too."
Callen kissed Finn and they headed back into the city.
