Thank you for all the reviews. Please keep them coming.
They were walking around a shopping area when Finn heard someone call her name. She was surprised at who it was.
"Rico my man what are you doing here?"
"Hey little sister good to see you."
"Callen this is Rico Matte. He's one hell of a tattoo artist."
"What can I say it's a calling." Rico shook hands with Callen.
"Rico this is my husband Callen."
"Abby said you were seeing someone."
"So what are you doing here?"
"Met a woman she's from here so I opened a shop here."
"Nice."
"So either of you up for a free tat?"
"I am." Said Finn.
"You ready to do some of that cover up work huh?"
"Yes I am." Finn looked at Callen. "He wants blue starts."
"Ok. Anything else?"
"He has a thing for lace."
"Lace huh. I can do that."
"Really?" asked Callen.
"Come one my place is right down here."
They stepped into a small tattoo shop. "Ok I'm closed today so we'll go in back so we have privacy."
Rico got his stuff ready. "So little sister where are we starting?"
"Well I'm pregnant so I'm not sure where to start."
"How about lower. We can do a strip of stars going down the scar from here to here."
"Ok let's do this."
Finn dropped her shorts and got on the table. Callen sat there and held her hand. Rico was good at what he did. Plus the stars were simple so he was able to get a good amount done.
"So how long are you two in town?"
"A week."
"Ok let's get done what we can now and I can fly over a few times to finish everything up."
Once the main line of stars were done they quit for the day. "We'll be back tomorrow." Said Finn.
"Ok little sister see you then."
Once they were outside. "Ok explain the little sister to me?"
"Rico's brother was an agent. He was killed in the line of duty. Rico is only two years older than I am hence the little sister."
"I can't believe he's not charging us for this."
"He gives free tattoos to any agent if it is a cover up for a scar received in the line of duty." Finn looked up at Callen. "He's only one of a handful of people who know how I got my scars and have seen them."
"I really love the starts." Said Callen.
"I already feel better about putting on that bathing suit."
"Good."
The rest of the day they did some shopping and sightseeing. That night they sat on the beach. Callen put a hand on her belly.
"So you really think its twins?"
"Don't know."
"I admit that scares the living daylight out of me."
"If we can face down bad guys every day we can handle kids."
"I sure hope so."
The next morning was spent on the beach. A few people gave Finn looks because of the scars but she didn't let that bother her. Callen on the other hand gave them looks of his own and the people moved on fast. They ate lunch and headed to see an active volcano. After dinner it was back to the shop.
Rico worked for a few hours finishing most of the stars. He had drawn up a pattern for Finn's breasts. It would make her look like she was wearing a blue lace strapless bra. Callen was shocked he could do that.
"I told you he's one of the best."
Over the next three days Rico worked on the lace. By the time he was done it looked amazing.
"Damn that hurt like hell Rico."
"Sorry little sister." Rico laughed. "The twins are done so you're all good there." Rico laughed at the look on Callen's face. "I'll fly out and we'll work on the stars more. I want to get some more done before you get too big. The ones below I can do once you really do start showing."
Finn started to cry. "Thank you Rico." She hugged him tight.
"Yeah man thanks."
"Oh wait Callen you still need yours."
"Where do you want it?" asked Rico.
"Inside of his wrist."
Callen took off his watch and Rico placed a cluster of little blue start there.
"Ok brother. I'll let you figure out where the matching set is."
Callen looked down at his wrist then at Finn. "Matching?"
"They match a set of my stars. Rico and I set it up when you went to get coffee."
"Ok matching." Callen put his watch back on and they headed out. They had a flight in the morning.
"So this matches somewhere on your body." Callen was intrigued. Finn was laying on the bed naked and laughed as he spent about twenty minutes just trying to find the spot. "Ok can I get a hint?"
"Honestly I don't know. I just told Rico to match a set of my starts."
Finally Callen looked up and smiled. He put his wrist next to the spot on her lower belly. "Found it."
"Yes you did."
Callen was very proud of himself. He knew to avoid her breasts because the tattooing made them hurt. "This is amazing I still can't believe how much it really looks like lace."
"Rico is amazing." Said Finn. "He's done some of Abby's work."
Callen ran his hand over the edge. He smiled down at her. "This is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen."
"Well I'm glad you like it because you are going to be looking at it for a long time to come."
Callen leaned up over her and kissed her soundly. "I'm so glad you kissed me that day."
"Yeah wasn't my plan but it turned out good."
BACK IN LA.
"Kensi we really need to decide where we are going to live. This going back between two apartments is starting to get to me." Not to mention Kensi's hording. Deeks was busy cleaning out a cabinet of stuff that hadn't seen the light of day in at least two years.
"Maybe we should find a new place." Said Kensi from the living room.
"Ok but we need a big place if we are going to fit all your stuff."
"Deeks you've tossed out six bags of stuff."
"Well I had to it was all Jacks. I don't want his stuff in our home." Said Deeks.
Kensi sighed. Deeks didn't like Jack one bit. He said he had some respect for him for going in after Kensi but he would never like the man. When Deeks found that Kensi still had his stuff he blew a gasket.
First thing he did after he yelled about it was to get a box of trash bags and to toss it all out. Kensi didn't stop him. She didn't tell him not to. Kensi had simply sat on the couch, drank a beer, and watched.
Deeks almost gagged when he pulled out a box full of Jacks clothing including his boxers. "Ugh! Nasty."
Kensi had laughed but not loud enough for Deeks to hear. That entire box got tossed. It was when he pulled out a box that was taped up really good that Kensi got tense.
"Deeks please don't open that one."
"Why?"
"It's my wedding dress."
Deeks looked at her then took the dress out to the car. When he came in.
"I'll drop it off at Goodwill on the way to work tomorrow."
"Thank you."
"Kensi this is probable the wrong time but I need to ask you something."
"No I don't love him anymore."
"That's not what I was going to ask. And it's ok for you to still care for him." Deeks sat down next to her. "You've been home a while now and we're pretty much living together."
Deeks took a deep breath. "I know I said I'd wait for you but I really need to know if at some point you would consider marrying me?"
"When?"
"When what?"
"When do you want to get married?"
Deeks just looked at her. He stood and went over to his bag and pulled out a box. Walking back over to Kensi he handed her the box.
"Hetty helped me get these. I asked her a few days after you got home."
Kensi opened the box slowly and saw two gold wedding bands. One had diamonds set into the band.
"I got that idea from Callen. This way you don't get it caught on anything at a crime scene."
"Wow you really thought this out."
"Yes I have." Deeks looked at her. "Every day you were gone."
Kensi felt like crying. "Let's fly to Vegas Friday after work and get married."
"What?" asked Deeks thinking he had miss heard her.
"Let's go to Vegas this weekend and get married. We can fly out Friday and come back Sunday."
Deeks grabbed his cell phone.
"Deeks who are you calling?"
"Julia hey it's Deeks. What are your plans this weekend?"
Kensi sat there watching him.
"Ok well Kensi and I are flying out to Vegas on Friday after work to get married and I think you should be there."
Deeks smiled at Kensi. "Ok great I'll call and book us our tickets right now. I'll text you the info. Ok by Julia." Deeks made a face and then replied. "Mom."
PRESENT TIME.
"Deeks what do you want to do?"
Deeks stopped and looked at Kensi. "Well to start off I want to know why you ever thought this was a good look for you." Deeks held up a bright orange dress.
"Ok I was drunk."
"Out it goes." Deeks tossed it into a garbage bag. "I think we should look for a house. One where we can have our friends over for cookouts and movie nights. A place with room to grow for when we do decide to have kids. A place with a room we can set up for when we baby sit Callen and Finn's kid."
"I'd like that." Said Kensi. "I would like that a lot."
"Ok we're getting a house." Deeks was thrilled.
"Near the beach."
"You got it Princess."
CALLENS HOUSE.
Callen opened the door and Finn walked in first. She headed for the laundry room to drop off her bag. On the way back she noticed something was off.
"Callen someone was in here."
Callen almost dropped his bag. He ran to her in the hallway. There was a row of toy letter blocks going down the hall.
"Ok that's a new one." They followed them to the room that was going to be the nursery. They both stopped dead inside the room. There was a crib and a rocking horse sitting in the center of the room.
Callen picked up a note that was taped to the crib. "Callen and Finn many blessing. Gibbs."
"Callen he made these."
"Wow." Callen looked at the unpainted wood. "Guess I have to paint them."
"I want to see the look on his face if he has to build two more." Finn laughed.
"You really want to give me a stroke don't you?"
"You love the idea of twins and you know it."
"Ok maybe I do."
That Monday everyone wanted to know how the trip was. "We had a blast." Said Finn.
Eric called them for a case. Once they were ready to leave Callen stopped Finn. "Oh no you don't."
"Callen I'm pregnant not dead."
"You're not going. Stay here and help Nell and Eric."
"Callen there is no reason I can't go."
"Yes there is." Callen pointed to her belly. "It's growing inside you right now."
Everyone stood around and watched the battle. Granger leaned down to Nell. "My money is on Finn." He handed her a fifty.
"Now Mr. Callen is correct you need to think of the baby first." Said Hetty.
"Fine." Finn stood there with her arms crossed and glared at Callen. "This time."
"Pick your battles man."
"Sam I'm not going to let her go out there and get hurt." Said Callen as they left the room.
"He is so sleeping on the couch tonight." Muttered Finn taking a seat.
Everyone noticed that Callen and Sam stayed away from the mission the rest of the day. He got back as Kensi and Deeks were leaving.
"You are so screwed." Said Deeks.
"Yeah like you don't plan to do the same thing when Kensi is pregnant." Muttered Callen.
Deeks looked at Kensi and smirked. She rolled her eyes at him. Yeah he'd do the same thing.
"Hetty where is Finn?"
"She asked Granger to ride her home an hour ago."
"Oh hell she could have had the locks changed by now." Callen grabbed his things and ran out to his car. He found Finn sitting on the couch reading a baby book. She didn't look up at him and didn't respond when he spoke to her. He finally realized she had her headphones stuck in her ears.
Pulling one out. "Finn did you have a good day?"
She glared at him and went back to her book.
"I'm sorry."
"The official NCIS hand book says I'm aloud in the field until I'm four months along. I'm two months right now."
"Ok how about if you do interviews at the boat shed and stakeouts."
"Case by case basis." If it's not a bad one I can go out in the field."
"Ok we'll go case by case." Callen looked at her. "But if there are twins then all bets are off."
"Ok fine." Finn stood up and looked at him. "Now I need sex so get your butt into that bed."
"Ok make up sex it is."
"More like pregnancy hormone make up sex."
"Ok as long as its sex I'm good."
The next month went fast. A handful of cases all of which Finn was allowed to work on. Callen kept her close to his side the entire time. When he couldn't he made Granger watch her.
Finally it was the day of the sonogram.
"Ok we have a bet going. I think its twins Callen says one."
The doctor laughed at them. "Ok let's take a look." The doctor ran the probe around her belly. "You have started showing a good bit already."
"Oh god." Callen groaned.
"Ok here is your little one." The doctor ran the probe over the left side.
"Oh look Callen it's so small."
"And here is number two. Looks like it is twins."
Just then there was a thump as Callen passed out. Finn looked over the table at him on the floor.
"Yeah this is going to be fun." Finn shook her head. "Callen get off the floor."
They got back to work and everyone wanted to know whey Callen had a bruise on his forehead.
"Mr. Super Spy here passed out."
"Way to go G."
"He's in shock."
"Why you having an alien or something?" asked Deeks.
"No just twins." Finn handed out the scans.
"Twin. I'm having twins." Callen muttered.
Everyone looked at Callen and laughed. Hetty simply put a glass of whisky in front of him.
"Nell can you please scan these so I can email them to Gibbs and Abby."
"Sure."
"Callen it's not a bad thing." Said Kensi.
"Twins."
"I think he hit his head a bit harder than I thought."
Finally Callen looked up at her. "Twins, we're having twins."
"Yes we are and you will be a great dad."
"I'm not sure I can do this."
"Oh great now you don't want to do this." Finn was hurt. "Well you should have thought about that three months ago."
Finn started crying and that seemed to snap Callen out of it. He was on his feet and had her in his arms.
"Oh baby I'm sorry."
"If you didn't want this you should have just let me be. I didn't want any of this but you kept pushing."
Looks were exchanged and everyone quickly left the pair alone.
"I know and I do want this. I want you and our babies."
Finn clutched at him and cried till her sobs stopped. Callen simply held her tightly. "It's ok baby, I'm not going anywhere."
"You better not because I'll just get the others to help me hunt you down and then hide the body after I kill you."
"Yeah I'm sure you'd have to stand in line after Gibbs, Hetty, Abby…"
Finn laughed. "Yeah Gibbs would kill you in a heartbeat."
"Um guys." Said Nell. "I have your scans ready to go."
"Thanks Nell."
Finn took the USB and uploaded the scans then sent them to Gibbs and Abby. Gibbs message also said. "Looks like we need another crib."
It took a half hour for the call to come.
"Are you kidding me? Twins?" said Abby.
"Yes Abby twins."
"That's amazing. Callen really did a good job."
"Yes he did but now he's freaking out."
"Give him time." Abby laughed. "Here's Gibbs."
"So two little Callens."
"Yep."
"I'll start on the second crib tonight. What else can I make you?"
"Well another rocking horse would be nice. Maybe a rocking chair."
"You got it kid. Anything for my family."
Finn looked over at Callen he was staring at the scan.
"Come on Callen lets go home."
"I still can't believe there are two of them."
"Yeah well you're not the one who has to push them out in a few months."
Callen took her hand and together they walked out of the Mission.
