A/N: A sweet late-night moment between Kensi and Rosa.
Rosa sleepily wandered into the kitchen, an empty glass in one hand. She was almost at the fridge before she noticed a shadowed figure bent over the counter.
"Kensi?"
"Shhh!" Kensi spun around, pressing her finger to her lips.
Rosa stretched to see beyond Kensi, catching sight of what looked like a jar of peanut butter and one of the baby monitors, which emitted a low murmur of voices. "Why are you listening to Marty on the baby monitor at 2 in the morning?" she hissed back.
"I woke up really hungry so I came in here to get a snack and heard Deeks talking to the twins," Kensi explained, gesturing to the monitor.
"That's a little strange,"; Rosa commented.
"No, listen." Turning the volume up, Kensi motioned for Rosa to come closer. It came in on Marty mid-sentence, saying something about tacos.
One of the babies fussed—Rosa thought it sounded like Caleb—and Marty made a soothing sound.
"Hey kiddo, it's all better. You're changed, sissy's changed, and now we're going to have some milk," he assured the two month old. There was sound of rustling and Marty groaned, then sighed. "There we go. So, were did I leave off? Oh yes, how mommy and I met.
"So there we were in this gym, both pretending to be people were weren't. Your mom will say she didn't trust me, found my annoying, and everything, but I have it on good authority that she had a thing for my hair. I still remember what she was wearing that day."
He trailed off, the slightly static sound of the speaker the only sound in the room.
"Aw, that's so sweet," Rosa whispered.
"Sometimes when I can't sleep, I just listen to Deeks talk to them," Kensi admitted. "He tells them about our past, or stories."
Marty started singing softly, voice low and slightly raspy as sang a now familiar John Denver song. Rosa smiled as he sang about leaves bowing down. When he finished, she wiped a tear from under her eye.
"Daddy loves you. For a thousand years," Marty said in the softest of whispers.
"I could listen to that all night long," Kensi murmured, sounding simultaneously teary-eyed and adoring.
