Authors notes: Ok so after watching the new season and how the team handled the DOD I thought it would be funny to see how Finn would handle it. So after this chapter I will start writing in the new season story line. It may not be spot on but it will be close.
Reviews always welcome.
Finn walked into OPS and took her spot next to Callen. She had figured out if she stood next to him during briefings he didn't keep glancing at her the entire time. Nell gave them the briefing and Callen gave out orders like always.
Callen told Kensi and Deeks to go talk to the widow. Because one of the suspects was a Navy Seal Sam went to talk to him. Callen took Finn with him to the crime scene.
"So I know what type of tattoo you can get."
"Ok." Finn looked over at him.
"Actually I have a few in mind."
"Ok I'll bite what are they?"
"Was thinking about stars."
"Stars."
"Yep stars. Blue stars."
"Top or bottom?" Finn looked out the window as they drove.
"Both."
"Alright but only if you get one too."
"You want me to get a star tattoo?"
"Yep, if I'm going to be in that much pain so are you."
Callen laughed and pulled the car over. He looked at her. Finn had a smirk on her face and shook her head as she got out of the car.
"Do I get to pick where it goes or are you picking?"
"Oh I'm picking." Finn said. "So why the star?"
"It will match the ones behind your ear."
"The ones behind my ear are pink not blue."
"Yeah but I love how you look in blue." Callen led the way up to the door. "Especially when it's blue lace."
"Blue lace huh."
"Yep."
Finn rolled her eyes at him. They were just about to go in the door of the house when gun fire erupted. Finn dropped behind the porch support and looked over at Callen. He had his hand on his side. He looked up at her and she realized he was hit. Pulling out her phone she called Eric.
"Eric I need paramedics at our location. Callen is hurt." She was going to move towards him when a new spray of bullets hit the steps between them. "Eric we need back up now. Automatic fire."
"EMT's are 10 minutes out." Eric looked over at Nell.
"Eric what is going on?" said Hetty coming into the room.
"Callen has been shot and they are taking automatic fire."
By now Finn had got her ear wig in and was firing back. "Miss Hudson what is going on?"
"Hetty Callen took a bullet to the left side. We never made it to the door before whoever is in there started shooting." Finn glanced over at Callen. He was pale and holding his side in pain. She pulled off her jacket and tossed it to him.
"Callen use this and put pressure on the wound."
"EMT's are five minutes out. Kensi and Deeks are two blocks away." Said Nell.
Finn leaned around the pillar and fired off three more shots then reloaded. "G stay with me ok."
"Trying." Callen kept his eyes on Finn. "Sorry."
"For what?"
"For all this."
"G you're going to be fine." Finn spotted Kensi pull up. "Back up is here G."
Kensi and Deeks went around to the back and they heard more gun fire then silence. Finn scrambled over to Callen.
"Ok let me see." She pulled her jacket away. "Ok thru and thru." Finn looked up at him and leaned in to kiss Callen. "Just hold on a few more minutes."
"Love you."
Finn choked back a sob. "Love you too."
The paramedics pulled up then and Finn filled them in on his wounds. She pulled his keys out and tossed them to Deeks. "I'm going with him."
"Right we got this."
Back at OPS everyone was silent. Hetty took a deep breath. "Miss Jones which hospital are they taking Mr. Callen too?"
"I'll find out."
"I'll handle things here." Said Granger. He didn't like the idea of Finn being on her own right now.
At the hospital Finn sat her head bowed and her hands clasped. She felt someone sit next to her on each side. She felt a hand on her back and then saw a hand cover both of hers. Hetty squeezed her hands but didn't say anything. She knew it was Sam on the other side of her.
"I should have been there."
"It wouldn't have mattered. The house was supposed to be cleared no one was supposed to be in there." Finn didn't lift her head. "There was no warning, no signs."
They sat there for over an hour before a doctor came out to talk to them.
"Agent Callen's family?"
Finn stood. "I'm his girlfriend."
"Agent Callen is very lucky. The bullet missed everything. He did lose a lot of blood."
"Is he going to be ok?"
"With some rest yes. I'll send a nurse to let you know when he's in his room."
Finn sat back down and leaned back in the chair then sat forward again and pulled out the bag that held Callen's things. His gun, badge, watch and wallet were in the bag.
"I'll go get us some coffee." Said Sam.
Finn looked down at the bag in her hands. "Mr. Callen told me you're trying for a baby."
Finn laughed. "Not what I'd call it." She looked at Hetty and smiled. "He really wants kids."
"And you don't?"
"Never did before, now I kind of like the idea."
"I'll need to know when you find out so I can alter your work."
"Oh trust me Callen will be the one deciding on what I can and cannot do."
Hetty chuckled. Yes she figured as much. "I'm very happy that the two of you found each other."
"He is very persistent."
"Yes he is."
Sam came back with coffee and handed one to Finn. Hetty's phone rang and she stepped away to speak with Nell. She found out that the man Deeks and Kensi had killed was a Marine. He had been high on some type of designer drug. Hetty told Nell about Callen and told her she'd be back as soon as they were allowed to see Callen.
It took another two hours before they were left in to see Callen. Finn took his hand in hers and tried not to cry. He was still asleep and they were told he would most likely sleep for a while. Hetty headed back to work leaving Sam behind.
"Sam you can go too."
"How about I get you some food fist?"
"Ok but not a lot and some juice please."
"You got it."
Sam came back and brought food. Finn gave him Callen's things to take back to OPS then settled in to wait. A nurse came in and checked on him and smiled at Finn. "Can I get you anything?"
"No I'm fine."
"Alright I'll be right outside if you change your mind."
Finn was about to doze off when he felt Callen move. She opened her eyes and saw him watching her.
"Hey there."
"Hey."
"Doc says you're going to be just fine." Finn took his hand in hers. "Deeks got the guy who shot you."
"You ok?" asked Callen quietly.
"I'm fine."
"You sure?" Callen raked his eyes over her body.
"G I'm fine not a scratch."
"Good was worried about you and the baby."
"Ok first I'm fine second we don't know if there is a baby."
"There is trust me."
"Oh and how do you know?"
"Had a dream."
"Oh so you had a dream that told you I'm pregnant."
"Yes." Callen started to fall asleep again. "A little boy, we're having a boy." And he was out once more.
Finn shook her head then put her hand on her belly. How the hell did she get here? Oh yeah she kissed him to piss off his ex. Finn groaned not her best idea either that or it was her best idea ever.
It was past one am when Callen woke up again. Finn was sound asleep with her head on the bed next to him. The night nurse came in and smiled at them. "She refused to leave."
Callen nodded and closed his eyes again.
The next morning Callen woke up and Finn was not there. Hetty sat in her chair. "Don't worry Mr. Callen. Sam took her home to change and get something to eat."
"I love her Hetty."
"I know you do."
"We're having a baby."
Hetty chuckled again. "Right now you need to rest."
"Thanks Hetty."
"For what?"
"For bringing her here."
Callen was in and out of it the new hour. Finally Finn came back into the room. She had changed her clothing and eaten. Sam had headed to work and Finn had drove herself to the hospital.
"Ah good your back, he's missed you."
"Thanks for sitting with him Hetty."
"You take the day and stay with him."
"Ok Hetty. Call if you need me."
"Don't worry we can handle things at work, you just take care of Mr. Callen."
When Callen woke up he smiled at Finn. "Hey there beautiful."
"Hey yourself."
"Did you eat?"
"Yes and it was healthy so don't start on me."
"You had coffee didn't you?"
"Yes and I will give it up when I have to and not before."
"Ok fine." Callen took her hand in his. "How about you think about moving in with me."
"How about we take it one day at a time."
"Finn."
"Callen."
"I'm going too fast again?"
"Yes but that's ok."
"I never planned on this you know."
"I know neither did I."
"Hetty gave me the day off so I can stay with you."
"Good I hate being in this place."
"I know you do."
The doctor came in later that day and checked Callen out. "Well I think you can head home in a day or two."
"How about today?"
"Agent Callen I would like to keep you here today and if all goes well you can go home tomorrow."
"That will be fine." Said Finn.
"Hey doc how soon can a women know that she's pregnant?"
The doctor looked at Callen then at Finn who was turning red. She smiled. "Four weeks is the earliest."
"Ok thanks." Callen looked at Finn. "Three more weeks to wait then." Finn didn't know where to look.
Twenty minutes later the doctor came back and handed Finn a bag. "These are the tests that show the earliest results. I put in a few for you."
"Thank you." Finn turned bright red again and Callen simply smiled.
As soon as the doctor left Finn smacked Callen in the arm. "OMG! I've never been so embarrassed."
"I love you."
Finn looked at Callen and leaned in to kiss him. "Love you too."
A week later Callen was home and restless. He was still in pain but was able to move around the house. Since there wasn't much else to do he ended up walking laps around his empty house. He kept stopping and looking in the room across from his. He pictured a crib against the wall and a changing table by the window. Maybe a nice rocking chair in the corner. Of course there would be toys everywhere.
Looking at the clock Callen knew Finn would be home soon. She had been staying at his place at night and heading home in the morning to get ready for work. He kept telling her it would be easier to just move in with him. She always gave him a look and refused.
Finn came in just then and found Callen looking in the room. "Daydreaming again?"
"Yes."
"I brought dinner." Finn headed back to the kitchen. "Did you take your pills?"
"Yes I did." Callen followed her and wrapped his arms around her middle resting his hands on her stomach.
"How's my girl today?"
"Good." Callen kissed her neck and just held her. "Eric walked in on Kensi and Deeks in the supply closet today."
"He didn't?"
"Yep. Never heard a grown man make a sound like that before." Finn laughed. "I don't know what was funnier, Eric's scream or Deeks and Kensi trying to avoid Granger the rest of the day."
"I promise you I will never try and have sex with you in the supply closet."
"I already got a lecture from Granger about that."
They ate and settled in bed to watch a movie on the lap top. Finn pulled something out of her bag and put it on Callen's lap. He picked up a very small pair of blue knit booties.
"Jamie in personnel knit them for us."
"They are so small."
"What I want to know is how everyone at work thinks I'm pregnant."
"Don't ask me I only talked to Hetty about it."
"Callen I have people monitoring what I eat, how much I work out it's driving me crazy."
"Just wait till you start showing."
"Ok not funny."
Two weeks and they may find out if she really was pregnant or not. Since Callen had gotten shot they hadn't had to worry about protection. Callen was in no shape for sex just yet.
Once the two weeks were over Callen started dropping hints that Finn should take a test. She refused or made excuses. He gave up after a few days. Week five Finn took one of the test to work with her. Kensi saw it and asked her if she wanted her to wait with her.
"No I'm good."
"Don't worry it will be ok."
"Remember that when you're the one taking the test." Kensi made a face and Finn laughed.
Twenty minutes later she still hadn't come out of the bathroom.
"Maybe you should go check on her." Suggested Deeks.
Kensi stood up and went to the bathroom. She found Finn sitting on the floor. "I can't look."
Kensi walked over to the sink and looked. "What does the plus mean?" asked Kensi joking. Finn's eyes got huge and she moved fast ending up over the toilet emptying her stomach.
"It means Callen was right and I'm going to kill him."
Kensi and Finn walked out together. Hetty was waiting on them. She handed Finn a cup of tea.
"It's a special blend for expecting mothers."
Finn took the tea and went to her desk. Sam and Deeks just looked at her.
"Go ahead Deeks get all the jokes out of the way now."
"Yeah I think I'll pass." Said Deeks. Sam chuckled.
"He's afraid of you." Said Sam.
"He should be."
"So when are you going to tell Callen?" asked Kensi.
"Well as far as he's concerned he's known for five weeks."
Finn drank the tea and had to admit it settled her stomach. Before she left for home Hetty handed her a tin of it for home. Finn stopped and picked up dinner then headed to her place to pack a bag. She walked into Callen's house and found him in his chair reading.
"Hey how was work?"
Finn didn't answer and went to the kitchen to put dinner out. "Finn what's wrong?"
"Well you were right."
"About what?" Callen was a bit confused.
Finn pulled the test out and handed it to him. "Wow really?"
"Well I've been puking my guts out at work in the mornings. Kensi thinks there is a smell there that is bugging me. Hetty gave me tea that helps and set me up with a doctor apt for Friday."
"Ok I'm going with you."
"You have your apt in the morning and mine is afterwards but they are both in the hospital so it will work out."
"You're ok with this?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Just checking." Callen looked a bit worried.
"Callen there was never any doubt about keeping this baby. I would have liked to wait but I also think that everything happens for a reason." Finn wrapped her arms around Callen and rested her head on his shoulder. "Sam and Deeks have offered to help me move in this weekend."
"You're sure you want to move in?"
"I promised you when we found out for sure that I would. And it just makes more sense to only have one house."
"Ok we're really doing this."
Finn pulled back and laughed. "You sure you can handle it?"
"I hope so." Callen put his hand on her belly and smiled. "Told you so."
"I already said you were right."
They sat down to eat. Finn had gotten a salad and Callen a steak sandwich. After they ate Callen insisted Finn take a hot bath and rest. She was asleep quickly and Callen sat there watching her for a long time. At least the fact that he didn't sleep would come in handy once the baby was born. Finn could sleep and he could take care of the baby at night.
The week went fast for them both. Callen spent a lot of time online reading up on child care. Finn was aloud out in the field but Sam kept her close and watched her like a hawk. Friday came and Finn had the day off. She promised they would stop in and show them the sonogram.
Callen got the go ahead to go back to work but to take it easy. Then it was time for Finn's apt. The doctor was very nice and told them the baby was just at six weeks. It would be a few months before they would find out the sex but Callen kept telling them it was gonna be a boy.
On the way to the Mission Callen started in on them getting married.
"Callen we just found out about the baby."
"And I still think we should get married."
"I know that but right now I need to deal with one thing at a time."
"And I'm pushing again."
Finn pulled up and parked next to Sam's car. They got out and walked in the building.
"Hey look who finally decided to come see us." Sam joked.
"Nice to see you too Sam." Joked Callen.
"Ok baby pictures." Said Nell.
Finn handed over the sonogram and Nell smiled. Hetty took the sonogram off of Nell and looked at it. "Once you start to show you will be on desk duty."
"Hetty she's on desk duty now." Said Callen.
"I can still do my job."
"Yes you can from your desk." Callen looked at her. "No arguments on this Finn."
"Fine."
Callen was surprised she gave in so easily.
"But I'm still not marrying you."
"Ouch." Said Deeks.
"Yes you are."
"Nope not gonna happen."
Finn crossed her arms and glared at him.
"So G what time do you want us over to help with the move?" asked Sam trying to change the subject.
"How about 10."
"Ok sounds good."
"We are too getting married." Said Callen as Finn walked away.
"No we are not."
"Yes we are."
"Keep it up G and you'll be living on your own too."
Everyone exchanged looks and tried not to laugh at the look on Callen's face.
"Don't worry man she'll come around." Said Sam.
"I hope so."
