Callen lay awake most of the night just holding Finn. He knew she was the one. Cop or no cop she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He just wasn't sure that was a future she wanted. You don't go thru a trauma like that and come out totally ok. He's have to take his time and make her realize that he really did love her.
The next morning they went to the dining room of the B&B for breakfast.
"I have a surprise for you today."
"Ok." Finn looked at him over her coffee cup. "Are you going to tell me now or do I have to wait?"
"I think I'll make you wait."
Finn rolled her eyes at him and went back to eating. Callen tried not to be to into the change in their relationship. He kept thinking keep it cool.
They got the car and Callen started driving. Finn was surprised when he pulled into the zoo parking lot.
"The zoo, that's your surprise?"
Callen wasn't sure if she was ok with it or pissed at him.
"Yeah unless you want to go somewhere else?"
Finn smiled at him. "The zoo is good. I haven't been to one in years."
They spent the entire morning and most of the afternoon at the zoo. Callen found out that the big cats were her favorite. They laughed when the realized the grizzly bear reminded them of Sam. They hit the gift shop on the way out and Callen picked up two stuffed racoon's.
"Ok what's with the little guys?"
"Inside joke only Kensi and Deeks understand." Callen shook his head. "I really have no idea but it will be a cute gift for them."
Finn picked up a pair of tigers, one orange and one white. Callen simply took them off her and put them on the counter with the raccoons. He secretly thought they would be nice to have later on if they had kids.
They ate lunch at a nearby restaurant and went down to see the Navy ships that were in port. By dinner time they were tired and headed back to the B&B to eat.
"How about room service?" said Callen.
"Sounds good."
Callen stopped at the desk and asked for a cart to be brought to the room. Callen ordered two steaks. He was told it would take about 25 minutes.
They got back to the room. "So what can we do for 25 minutes?" said Callen. Finn rolled her eyes at him and kicked off her shoes.
"I say you can give me a foot rub." Finn laid back in the bed and looked at him. Callen laughed and figured out sure why not.
Their dinner came and they dug into the perfectly cooked steaks. Callen had ordered cheesecake for dessert and they decided to save it for later as they were now too full.
"I think I'm going to take a bath." Said Finn. Callen nodded and pushed the cart out into the hall. Finn had the tub filled and had stripped down to nothing and Callen hadn't joined her. She stuck her head out and looked. He was sitting on the bed seeing what was on tv. "Callen you joining me or is that ball game more interesting."
She had to laugh at the look on his face. Finn simply got into the tub and waited. Callen joined her and she scooted forward so he could get in behind her.
"This is nice." Said Callen relaxing in the warm water.
"Yep." Callen was getting used to her one word answers.
"Too bad we have to head home tomorrow."
"What time is check out?"
"We have a late one at 2pm."
"Mmmmmm. Good we can sleep in."
Once the water got cold they got out. Callen headed into the bedroom in only a towel. He was pulling the blankets down when he heard Finn clear her throat. He turned to find her standing there in a very sexy little and I mean little outfit.
"Wow."
"You wanted to know what I bought with Abby." She stepped into the room and did a little turn.
"Wow."
Finn laughed and joined him at the bed. "I take it you like?"
"Oh yeah I like."
Hours later they were snuggled up in the bed. "I was thinking about getting a tattoo to cover the worst of the scars."
"Ok if it will make you feel better about it."
"Do you want to help me pick out what I get?"
"Only if you want me too."
"Well you will be the one looking at it so I think it should be something you can live with too."
"How about property of G Callen."
"Um, no."
Callen laughed. "Ok we'll figure something out."
The next day they headed home.
