SUMMARY:

Kensi and Deeks are having a movie night at his apartment, he tells her something before she leaves. What does Deeks tell her and what will happen?

CHAPTER 25: KENSI'S FEAR...

THE BULLPEN...
ONE HOUR LATER...

Deeks lifted his head as Kensi returned to the bullpen and smiled when she noticed him.

"Feel better?" He asked. "I'm fine...yeah, I'm good." Kensi answered.

"You were going to say 'I'm fine.' You say that when you're not okay. Want to talk about it?" Deeks asked, not noticing Callen and Sam look up from their work.

"Later." Kensi replied. "Why not now?" Deeks pressed. "Maybe, because we're supposed to be working." Kensi reminded him.

"I've been working for the last hour and I need a break. How about we go get something to eat? I know you have to be hungry after your workout." Deeks suggested with a smile.

"You've only been pretending to work, Deeks. You spent most of the time looking toward the gym waiting for you to come back, Kensi." Sam said from his seat.

"I've gotten some work done." Deeks argued looking from Sam and then back at Kensi.

"I have paperwork to do." Kensi said looking at Deeks. "Paperwork will still be here when we get back. Come get something to eat with your favorite partner." Deeks insisted.

"What makes you think you're my favorite partner?" Kensi shot back. "Okay, then how about something to eat with the father of your child. Come on, you can't deny that you're hungry...we all know you are." Deeks teased still smiling.

"Fine, I guess we can go get something to eat." Kensi said with a sigh and Deeks smile grew bigger. "Told you that you couldn't deny that you were hungry." Deeks said getting up from his desk and following Kensi.

As they started to leave Kensi punched him in the shoulder and Deeks let out a yelp, looking at her.

KENSI & DEEKS...

After getting their food from the food truck, Kensi and Deeks found a bench to sit on. They ate in silence for a moment, before Deeks started to talk.

"What's going on, Princess? Why did you try to tell me everything is 'fine'?" Deeks asked. "There's nothing going on. I just needed a little time to myself so I could think." Kensi told him.

"Think about what? Are you and..." Deeks stopped when Kensi glared at him. "I told you to quit hovering, but to answer your question...the baby and I are fine. That's what I was thinking about...we keep saying the baby. We need to think of a name that will work for a boy or girl until we find out what the gender is." Kensi pointed out to him.

"You don't want to be surprised?" Deeks asked. "I just think want to get what we need for the baby and be at least a little prepared." Kensi explained.

"Oh, I forgot you have to be in control." Deeks said and Kensi glared at him. "I don't have to be in control..." Kensi began to protest.

"Really, we've had this conversation before about the things you have to control." Deeks reminded her. "Well if you think I'm such a control freak and you don't like it...then why do you want to be with me?" Kensi asked as the tears came to her eyes and she got up heading back for the Mission.

"Kensi...Kensi, wait! I didn't say it was a bad thing." Deeks yelled as he hurried to catch up with her and grabbed her hand, and then turned her to face him. "The way you said it it didn't sound like a good thing." Kensi snapped at him.

"I'm sorry, babe. How is it you were beside me this morning in the living room? What happened before you came to the living room?" Deeks asked staring into her eyes.

"Nothing, I just got up to go to the bathroom and I heard something, when I got to the living room...you were having a nightmare." Kensi said with a shrug.

"Are you sure there isn't more to it? Did you have a nightmare last night..."

Deeks asked not dropping the subject. Kensi looked away, but did not answer.

"...Kensi?" Deeks asked putting a finger under her chin, he brought her eyes to meet his again.

"Yes, I was having a nightmare, before I got up to go to the bathroom. Deeks, I hate this...the nightmares and the fact I can't watch your back in the field right now." Kensi said as she looked into his eyes.

"What was your dream about?" Deeks asked gently.

"The day we rescued you and Sam from Sidov. How we argued and I accused you of not communicating and how you finally kissed me. I wanted you to tell me. All I could think about while we looked for you and Sam was you finally kissed me and gave me an answer..." Kensi rambled.

"Kensi...Kensi, what are you trying to say?" Deeks asked.

"Twice we've been partnered with different people, both times had bad consequences. The second time I almost lost you...now this is the third time you have a partner in the field that isn't me. What if something happens if I lose you this time? I can't lose you...our baby can't lose a father." Kensi told him as tears started to fall.

"Hey, I promise everything will be okay and I have three people to watch my back in the field. Sam, Callen and Nell...I can't promise I won't get hurt, but I can promise to do my best, okay?" Deeks asked wiping the tears from Kensi's eyes and all Kensi could do was nod.

THE MISSION...

After walking into the Mission, Kensi headed for the bathroom to wash her face, as Deeks headed to the bullpen.

"Everything okay, Deeks?" Callen asked. "Yeah, we just had a few things to talk about." Deeks said with a smile.

It was ten minutes before Kensi finally sat down at her desk with a smile over at Deeks.

"Any ideas for baby names?" Kensi asked and Deeks' smile widened even more. "Oh, I have a few." Deeks told her getting the attention of Callen and Sam.

"Do I even want to know what you're thinking?" Kensi asked.

"I have a lot things on my mind, but I thought you wanted my ideas on baby names...we can talk about what else is on my mind when we get home tonight." Deeks shot back suggetively.
