Half an hour later the team had arrived at the hospital.
"Do you know what floor their on?" Asked Deeks as the approached the hospital doors.
"I don't know." Said Sam as he pulled out his phone and dialled Nell's number.
Nell, who hadn't moved since she had last spoke to Sam almost jumped 10 feet in the air when her phone rang.
"Nell, we're here what floor are you on."
"Third floor. Room 3150. Kensi and Deeks are with you? You said we."
"Yeah, they are. We'll see you in a minute." He said as he hung up the phone and they headed up toward the elevator and headed to third floor arriving moments later and began walking down the hallway until they reached Callen's room and could hear voices as Sam put his hand out stopping them near the threshold of the door.
Nell took Callen's hand which had a canula's attached to tubing coming out of it and placed it on her stomach.
"We need you Callen, your daughter needs you, I need you, please, please wake up. I can't do this.I can't lose you...not now." She said. "You promised me, you'd be here to see your daughter..." She said as he held her other hand over his. "Please.." She whispered as she watched as Callen lay motionless in the bed.
Outside the room Deeks whispered. "Should we go in or?"
"Yeah" Said Sam softly as he knocked on the door frame as Nell turned slightly to see the rest of the team standing at the door way "Hey, sorry we didn't mean to.."
Nell waved them off as she returned Callen's hand to the bed, not noticing the slight movement in his hand as she did. "No, no, its okay I was just talking to him, trying to get him to wake up. The doctor said that his brain needs time to heal, but I...I just wish he would wake up.
Callen was listening to everything going around him, he could hear Nell's voice, he could feel his daughters feet kicking against his hand, he could hear Nell begging him to come back to her. He knew as much pain he was in that he had to find his way back to her. He focused all his energy as he forced his finger tips to move.
"How are you doing Nell?" Asked Deeks. "Stupid question I know. I can't imagine, but um is there anything you need, tea, coffee, chocolate, food, clothes, hairbrush?"
"Hairbrush?" Said Sam and Kensi at the same as they stared at him.
"What she's a girl and they need hairbrushes." Said Deeks as Kensi and Sam continued to stare in disbelief.
"What I panicked okay." Exclaimed Deeks.
Nell smiled. 'It's alright Deeks, thanks I'm good."
"How's the little one doing?" Asked Sam and he looked down a glowing Nell.
Nell smiled. "She's doing good, very active; constantly kicking my bladder, all I want to do is pee." Said Nell as Sam chuckled.
"Reminds me of Michelle when she was pregnant with Aiden. "Every 20 minutes." He said smiling.
In the background Callen's fingers began to twitch.
"What did the doctor say?"
"Just have to wait and see. I just wish he'd wake up. I was even going to threaten him with an infamous Gibbs head slap if he doesn't wake up.
"No...head...slaps." Came a croaky voice behind them.
"Callen!" Exclaimed Nell as she and Sam turned rushing to his bedside. "Oh my god" She said as she grabbed his hand and squeezed.
"I'll go and find a nurse." Said Deeks as he exited the room with Kensi in tow
"You scared me." Said Nell as she caressed his face.
"I...know...I'm...sorry" He said as tried to speak and breathe at the same time.
"It's alright, you're still here." Smiled Nell as she kissed Callen's forehead.
Deeks walked back in the room with Kensi. "Dr Nolo is on his way."
Callen reached out for Nell. "I...could...feel...her..."
"Who?" Said Sam.
"Our...daughter..." Said Callen in between breaths.
Nell smiled as Dr Nolo walked back in the room.
"Mr Callen, do you know where you are? Do you know who I am?"
"Hospital...Dr Nolo.."
"Good, do you remember what happened?"
"Walking...started to shake...fell...hit...head."
"Okay. Well you'll be monitored closely over the next couple of days. When you're upto it, we need to have a talk. I'm going to start you on some new medication, but for now rest." He said as he made notes in the binder before walking out.
"Dr Nolo?" Said Nell as she got up and walked after him as quickly as she could. "What are you giving him?"
"A stronger anti – convulsive medication, it's in trial stages right now, but it showing promising results." He said and he smiled softly before walking down the corridor.
Nell headed back towards the room when she heard Callen struggling to speak with Sam, Kensi and Deeks.
She waited at the door as she listened in. "I...can...feel...something...has changed...don't..think I...have...long..left."
Deeks wiped the tears from his eyes and they continued to listen.
"I'm...going to...fight...to...stay...for...my...daughter...promise...me now...you'll...take..care of Nell... and ...my...daughter...when I'm...gone.." He said in between breaths as he deeply exhaled the oxygen.
Tears began to flow from everyone in the room. "We promise." Said Kensi as she wiped a tear from her face.
"We will always." Said Sam as he squeezed his hand. "You're family" He said as looked down at the shadow of his partner.
Nell stood outside the room as she whimpered softly as her tears also ran freely down her face.
Sam bent down and placed a soft kiss on Callen's forehead and Deeks pulled Kensi into him. "We love you Callen."
"I love you Kens." Whispered Deeks.
"Love you too Deeks." She said softly as they embraced each other.
"You get some rest now, your daughters gonna need you soon." He said as he smiled down at his partner.
Taking Sam's advice Callen nodded as he closed his eyes as Nell walked back into the room to see the trio teary eyed. Nell smiled softly as she placed her hand on her stomach.
Sam walked over to her noticing she was losing her colour. "Nell are you alright you look a little." But before he could finish Nell collapsed. Sam quickly caught her in his arms and laid her down on the floor.
"Kensi, Deeks, get some help now!" He exclaimed as they ran quickly from the room.
"No, come on Nell, don't do this, stay with me, stay with me.
