"Come on, we should go" Deeks whispered, hating have to disturb her. They hadn't moved from the floor in the mission since they had left OPS but Deeks didn't mind. Kensi needed to feel safe and if that meant having to sit on the hard ground of the Mission for hours he would do it in a heartbeat.

Kensi just nodded into his chest, she was comfortable and she felt safe, something that she needed, especially now.

"Come on, let's go back to the safe house, and get a good night's sleep" Deeks replied in response to Kensi's nod. As he stood up from the floor he pulled the pregnant agent along with him. As she stood to full height, Deeks pulled her into his arms, circling them around her body and dropping a kiss on her forehead. This only made her start crying again wishing she could stay curled up on the ground. "I love you, we're safe okay"

"Okay, it's just all the hormones you know. I want to go home."

"Yeah I know, so let's go"

"No I mean, I want to go home Deeks"

"I know baby, I do to, but we can't, we don't know where Danny is and we have to assume he knows where we both live." Deeks responded feeling depressed that he couldn't give her what she wanted. Deeks wanted to give her the moon, but it was one of the times that he couldn't and it killed him to see how desperate she was.

"Baby, just sit here and I'll get you some food, okay?" Deeks said as he led Kensi over to the couch, ensuring that she got comfortable before he went into the kitchen.

"Ok" Kensi had retreated into her shell after they had left the mission, she didn't want him to see her like this but he didn't care. He had to make her know that he was always going to be there for her. Eventually he wanted to marry her, but it was the worst time possible, he knew that, but he also wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He patted his inside jacket pocked as he re-entered the living room with a plate of left over lasagne from the night before, feeling the small box that he kept tucked there in a safe place.

"Hey Kens, here's some food, you have to eat, even if you don't want to, you have to." Deeks said announcing his re-entry to the living room so he didn't startle the young agent. Kensi didn't acknowledge him, but he didn't care he continued on his track until he stood right in front of her. He knelt down on the floor and took her hands in his and made her look at him. "Come on, what's up, you can tell me anything"

It took a few moments and a little bit more prodding from Deeks until she started to talk, but once she had started it was like the floodgates were re-opening and she started to cry again. Deeks gathered her in his arms and huddled on the couch with her whispering assurances and sweet nothings into her ear. He couldn't bear to see her like this, his strong and kick-ass Kensi, huddled on the couch in his arms bearing her soul for the world to see. As much as she would deny it, at times she wore her heart on her sleeve for anyone to see. It was one of the many things that he loved about her.

Hetty sat up in OPS that night after everyone had left, looking at the image of her two agents sitting in their safe house. How could someone hurt these two, this was her family. No-one was going to hurt her family, no-one was going to die, she would do everything in her power to make sure that didn't happen and if I did happen she would make life a living hell for everyone who was in the wrong.

The door to OPS opened startling the Operations Manager out of her daydream, she looked up to see Callen walking in. "Agent Callen, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Hetty asked as he drew a seat up and sat next to her. Watching Deeks comfort Kensi on the couch of their safe house.

"Do we tell them?" Was the only response Callen gave to her questions as he stared at the screen, "I mean, what do we tell them if we do decide to tell them?"

"I think for the moment, that it is best if we keep that to ourselves," Hetty responded, "Look at her Mr Callen, she breaking slowly and Mr Deeks is trying to put her back together, but she has so much on her plate right now." As much as she hated lying to her agents she felt this was a necessary evil.

Kensi had finally cried herself to sleep after an hour and Deeks was reluctant to move her, she looked so peaceful when she was asleep. It was like all of her fears disappeared when she fell asleep, that she was having a pleasant dream and Deeks was glad for that. All the stress that she was under was not good for the baby.

Deeks picked her up and carried her to the main bedroom, laying her down on the bed in the centre of the room. He placed a kiss on her forehead, whispered goodnight and pulled the covers up over him.

Since it was only 6:30, Deeks headed back into the living room and picked up Kensi's untouched plate of dinner and turned towards the kitchen. He tidied up and moved back into the living room. He sat down only after making the place spotless. He hated mess and cleaning gave him time to think about Kensi, so he cleaned for an hour or more. When Kensi woke up she would hardly recognise the place as much as she liked the idea of being tidy, she could never do it. It made him chuckle thinking about all of her quirky little aspects that he had come to love over the past years. Parts of her that he never showed to anyone else. Parts of her that he absolutely loved even if she didn't. Now that she was pregnant though, she had become more self-conscious, but he though she just looked even more beautiful, she had a mini Deeks and Kensi growing inside of her. It was a beautiful thing.

"Hey Baby, how you feeling this morning?" Deeks asked as Kensi walked out the bedroom, dressed and ready for the day.

"Ummm, hungry" Kensi replied looking much better then yesterday. Deeks eyes lit up at this.

"Food, yeah I can do that. Pancakes good?" Deeks questioned happy that she finally felt like eating again.

"My favourite kind" She asked with a hopeful glint in her eye.

"Anything for you Kensalina, anything you want!"
