CHAPTER 9: MARTY'S RETURN & A SURPRISE…
FLASHBACK *
19 WEEKS EARLIER…
APRIL 8th…
MARTY & KENSI'S BEDROOM…
01:00 AM…
Marty woke up when he felt Kensi move beside him…
"Kens? Are you okay?" Marty murmured as he reached for her. I'm just hungry; this is delicious. Thanks for getting me the chocolate donuts and honey," Kensi replied as she put some honey on one of the chocolate donuts and took a bite.
"Yet...you were asleep when I brought them back and felt the need to steal one of my shirts on top of that," Marty said, pointing at the shirt she was wearing.
He sat up a little, so that both of them were leaning against the headboard.
"I tried to stay awake until you got back, but I was just so relaxed and tired…" Kensi replied with a shrug.
A few minutes later, Kensi finished her snack and got out of bed.
"Where are you going now? I'm cold without you beside me…" Marty complained. "Deal with it, I'm going to get some milk and check on Matty," Kensi said, shooting him a smile, before walking out of the room with the empty doughnut box and honey.
01:30 AM…
Marty had his eyes closed and felt that sleep wasn't far away, when he felt the bed dip a little bit.
"Is Matty okay?" Marty mumbled. "Yeah, he's fine. You know you should really try milk with honey sometime...it's really good." Kensi said as she laid her head on his shoulder. "You and your cravings…" Marty muttered, and it wasn't long after that that they both fell asleep.
05:30 AM…
When Marty opened his eyes, Kensi had her back pressed to him, his arm was over her abdomen, and their fingers were intertwined.
Marty smiled, just thinking that life couldn't get any better than this. That thought was shattered when he remembered that in a few hours, he would be meeting with Lt. Bates and that Bates more than likely wanted him for an undercover OP.
Marty tried to take his hand out of Kensi's and get out of bed, but Kensi tightened her grip on his hand, not letting go.
"Stay...too early to get up," Kensi murmured, and he kissed her neck. "Oh, so Sleeping Beauty is awake, huh?" Marty teased in a whisper.
Without letting go of his hand, Kensi rolled over to face him, her eyes still closed.
"Go back to sleep, Marty," Kensi told him. "Can't...I'm wide awake. You can sleep in, though. Maybe then...you won't fall asleep at work." Marty commented with a grin, and this time Kensi did open her eyes, meeting his in a glare.
"You did not just say that?" Kensi growled. "Think I did, Princess. It's still early if you want to go back to sleep." Marty suggested looking into her eyes.
"What time do you have to meet Bates?" Kensi asked, laying her head on his shoulder.
"Nine, but I'll call you as soon as the meeting is over, okay?" Marty inquired, and Kensi nodded.
"What if Bates wants you to go undercover?" Kensi asked, and Marty could hear the worry in Kensi's voice.
Marty moved so that he was once again looking into Kensi's eyes.
"Then I'll just have to wrap up the OP as fast as I can, so I can come home to my family," Marty told her with a soft expression on his face as he tried to smile.
"Just promise to come home safely," Kensi whispered, sticking her face into the crook of his neck.
"I will always try to come home safely, Kens. Come on, let's go take a shower before Matty wakes up." Marty suggested, resting his chin on the top of her head for a moment.
08:00 AM…
It was two and a half hours later when Marty, Kensi, and Matty walked out the door.
Marty and Kensi agreed that Kensi would drop Matty off at daycare, so Marty could go on to the precinct and meet with Bates, getting over with sooner.
Now Marty was trying to put Matty in his car seat, but Matty was putting up a fight.
Matty had been in a grumpy mood all morning and was fighting with them about everything.
Finally, Marty said goodbye to Matty and closed the door, then turned to face Kensi.
"I'll let you know what's going on after I meet with Bates," Marty promised again, then slid his arms went to her waist and her arms went around his neck, his lips found hers.
After a few minutes, Kensi slipped into the driver's seat of her car and watched as Marty slipped into the driver's seat of his car. they waved and then left.
09:30 AM…
THE MISSION…
THE BULLPEN…
"Hey, Kensi, where's Marty?" Josie asked as Kensi sat down at her desk. "Lt. Bates called him last night and wanted to meet with him this morning," Kensi replied, and the team could tell she was worried.
"Don't worry, Kens, it's probably nothing." Callen tried to reassure her.
"Except the fact that I'm pregnant and Bates might be sending Marty undercover, if that happens...Marty will miss the rest of this pregnancy and possibly miss the birth of Emma." Kensi replied.
"Don't jump to conclusions. Just wait until you hear from him. Like, G. said, it's probably nothing." Sam advised.
After that, Josie, Callen, and Sam got to work. Kensi, on the other hand, tried to work, but kept looking at the time and waiting for Marty to call.
10:00 AM…
LAPD PRECINCT…
MARTY…
Marty had just finished his meeting with Bates, and sure enough...Bates was sending him undercover. He had no idea how long it would be, but with Kensi being pregnant…
Marty did not want to go undercover. He knew that Kensi's mom and the team would be there for her, but Marty wanted to be there for the entire pregnancy as he had for Matty.
10:30 AM…
THE MISSION…
THE BULLPEN…
Kensi was the first to look up when Marty walked into the Bullpen. Callen, Sam, and Josie looked up when Kensi got up from her desk, and then they saw that Marty had finally shown up.
Kensi looked at Marty's face and knew what the meeting had been about. Taking his hand, Kensi led him out to the courtyard…
THE COURTYARD…
"H-how long?" Kensi asked once they were outside. "I don't know, Kens. But like I said, I'll try to make it back as soon as I can. Man, I wish I didn't have to leave you and Matty to go for this undercover OP." Marty said as he pulled Kensi into his arms.
"Then don't go, Marty...just sign the papers and become an NCIS Agent." Kensi implored him, resting her head under his chin. "Kensi…" Marty said, pulling back and putting a finger under her chin, he made her look at him.
Marty reached out to wipe away a few tears that had slipped down her face.
"Please don't go, Marty. Our family needs you...I need you with me." Kensi pressed as she took one of his hands and placed it on her abdomen.
Marty felt the tears in his own eyes as Emma kicked.
"I already agreed to take the assignment, Kens. I had to…" Marty told her gently.
"What's so damn important about this undercover OP that you felt you had to take it without talking to me? What about Matty and Emma? What about m-me?" Kensi asked.
"Princess…you know there is nothing more important to me than you, Matty, and Emma. We met undercover, remember? You with NCIS and me with the LAPD, nothing has changed, and nothing will. Being a cop is just a part of who I am." Marty explained.
"I just don't want you to go," Kensi said stubbornly and glared at Marty when he chuckled. "Has anyone ever told you how stubborn you are? I don't want to go either, but...I have already said I would. I will tell you what I can about the case when I get back...that's a promise, Fern." Marty said with a sad smile, and Kensi just nodded her head in acceptance.
Marty once again pulled her to him as close as he could, and her arms went around his waist.
* END FLASHBACK
PRESENT…
It was agreed that when Kensi went into labor with Emma, Matty would go stay with Nell and Eric.
When Marty had gone undercover, Julia had come to stay with Kensi to help out with Matty and just be there for her daughter.
A lot of time since Marty had gone undercover, Kensi had gotten up and wandered the house, because Marty was not in bed beside her.
She was worried about him and had no way of knowing if he was okay. She always feared when he went undercover or out in the field without her...there would be one day he wouldn't make it back alive.
In a week, it would be four months ago that Marty had gone undercover.
Kensi had gone into labor, and Julia called Hetty. Hetty then sent a message to each member of the team.
THE HOSPITAL…
AUGUST 25th…
The whole team waited in the waiting room. Nell had shown up long enough to pick up Matty and take him home with her so he could play with Ryan.
Now it was just Callen, Sam, Hetty, and Josie waiting in the waiting room, while Julia was in the delivery room with Kensi.
No one knew that Hetty called Lt. Bates, telling him that Kensi was in labor, and Marty needed to be at her side. It was then that Hetty learned that the undercover OP had just wrapped up, before she could tell the team the news…
A man with blonde hair ran by the waiting room to the nurses' station, demanding to know where Kensi Deeks was.
The team walked to the doorway of the waiting room and saw none other than...Marty Deeks, who had made it just in time.
KENSI…
IN THE DELIVERY ROOM…
"I want….Mar-Marty," Kensi shouted through another contraction. "Is there any special reason, Fern or did you just miss my good looks and charm?" Marty quipped, walking into the delivery room.
"Ma-Marty?" Kensi asked, unsure if she was seeing him or not.
"I think that's my cue to leave," Julia said and headed for the waiting room to wait for everyone else.
"Well, I'm told my name is Marty Deeks and my wife is in labor with our baby." He replied, flashing a smile at Kensi, and Kensi gave a small smile in return.
Marty reached her side and brushed his lips against hers.
"I-I didn't think you would make it on time," Kensi said, looking at him. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. So, uh...have you been here awhile?" Marty joked, and she glared at him this time, before gripping his hand as hard as she could.
"Do you want me to castrate you?" Kensi threatened. "Ouch...um, no, come on you are...my strong, bad ass tough as nails partner. You have been through this once before, and you can do it now." Marty encouraged her.
"Deeeeeekkkkkks, it hurts!" Kensi screamed through another contraction.
"I know...I know, and I would take away the pain if I could, Princess, but it will be worth it when we meet, Emma." He said, brushing some hair out of her face, and she looked at him.
"I-I'm so tired, Marty and I don't think I can do this anymore," Kensi said, laying her head back against the pillow. "I know you're tired, Kens, but you can do this. You're doing great." Marty said and stroked her hair.
"You wouldn't be saying that if you were the one in labor." Kensi declared, and Marty chuckled.
"No...no, I wouldn't, but you're stronger than I am, Fern. I can't imagine the pain you're in, but the thing is, I wouldn't want mutant ninja assassins with anyone but you." Marty told her.
It seemed to go on for a long time, before…
"Okay, here's the baby's head…" The doctor announced.
A nurse was videotaping the birth, just as Matty's birth had been videotaped.
After a few more minutes and a final push, a little body slithered out.
"It's a beautiful baby girl!" The doctor announced as she began to suction the mouth and nose, then rubbed the back of the baby girl.
Kensi gave a tired but happy smile as Emma started to cry.
"Is she okay?" Kensi asked as Emma was lying on Kensi's stomach after the doctor had checked the baby over.
"She's perfect. Want to cut the cord?" The doctor asked Marty, and Marty cut the cord.
Then a warm towel was laid over Emma.
Kensi and Marty looked at their new daughter and then looked at each other with a grin.
"She's perfect, Kens. We have a baby girl who is as beautiful as her mom." Marty said, grinning from ear to ear. "And a little boy who is as handsome as his dad, hello, Emma Rose Deeks," Kensi whispered.
"Welcome to the world, Little Princess," Marty added.
