Chapter 2

Are you sure about that? Kensi asked unsure if it was a good idea.
Im a hundred and ten percent sure! Deeks replied sounding like a 5 year old about to prank
someone.
Fine. Ill go get the food. You go to the pet shop! Kensi was starting to like the idea.
I like that plan! Any special requests, princess? His excitment was growing with every
second.
Just one. Chose a cute one! She used her best atempt of a puppy dog eyes.
Hahaha! Anything for you Fern! He said it, and before they turned their separate ways, he
kissed her right cheek and with the grin Kensi silently loved he added Here I go! Finding
Nemo! and jogged away before she had the chance to give him the punch he knew would
come.
~~~~~~~~~~~
It was one of those days that the team had nothing to do beyond the paperwork and reviewing
some cold cases, nothing urgent.
The team was mocking Eric while waiting for their food. Eric wasnt taking being the butt of a
joke very well and it was his luck when things were starting to get a little out of hand Kensi
entered the bullpen with her hands full of their orders.
Wait Kens, Ill help you! Eric offered and ran to her, relieved at finding an excuse to leave
their current conversation.
No need, but thank you anyway. Kensi replied with a soft smile.
So, where is... Callen was about to ask when Deeks entered
Dont need to worry! Im here and Im fine, thanks! You wont get rid of me that easily.
And after a rolling eyes reaction from everyone but Deeks, the team sat down to eat and
started talking nonsense.
Ill get the dessert! Deeks said giving Kensi a meaningful look. She realized it was her cue,
and went for it. She was nervous but the curiosity to see how they would react was bigger.
Deeks was back with a chocolate box in one hand and a fish in a bag one the other one.
Kensi immediatly took the chocolate from his hands and ate two at once before passing to the
others.
Wow, thats something new. Deeks bringing us chocolate and we will actually eat some."
Callen sounded genuinely surprised. "Are you fine Kens? Kensi poke her tonge at him for the
comment.
Dont get used to it! she told them with her best threatening look she could manage at the
time.
Easy tiger! Deeks chuckled Hm, guys, you all remember my Doppelganger Aquarium, right?
They all nodded yes.
The other day, my partner here, he put his free arm around Kensis shoulders, realized that
it wasn't complete and needed a new addition, that a member was missing, he said uncertain
if they would understand, Kensi and him were both nervous and anxious about their reactions,
the excitment was a little lower at this time.
Nell took only 2.5 seconds to realize what they were talking about and immediatly smiled the
most cute and lovely smile Kensi saw from her. (Note, I would say, smiled the cutest and
lovliest smile Kensi had ever seen from her.)
Oh my God! Thats so nice! I mean, can we have a better day? Im so happy for you! She was
so amused that she immediatly went to give them hugs, and her amusement left the three
men surprised.
Kensi smiled back and so did Deeks before he continued. Kensi is carrying a little fish! he
tried this time.
Sam was the next one to understand what they, in their very unique way, were trying to tell
them. He mirrored Nells reaction, without the jumps and girly screams.
The four were enjoying the joyful moment and for a second they forgot the two clueless guys
behind them. Kensi took pity and gave them a visual clue placing her hand on her stomach and
rubbed. Finally Callen got it and gave his compliments and hugs along with a well played
comment.
They were all celebrating when Eric in the middle of his confusion asked.
Im not following... I mean, Deeks, you are the one who is carrying the fish!
They all chuckled. Eric, what we meant is that the family is getting bigger, that we will have a
new fish in the tank, that... Deeks started explaining and with that entertaining and light
atmosphere Kensi felt that she was able to say the words out loud to them without panicking
Im pregnant! she finally said the words that only Deeks had heard untill now.
The team agreed to celebrate after work with ice cream, as Kensi demanded since if she wasnt
drinking no one else would.
Eric and Nell headed back to OPS and Sam and Callen went for the gym leaving the parents-to-
be alone.
Kensi finally had the chance to apreciate the new pet in Deeks hands. It was a little orange-
blue fish. It was beautiful, she smiled and thought to herself, he really chose a great one.
So, there is a history behind this little cute fellow here, am I right? Kensi asked playfully
pointing at the bag in Deeks hand and leaning closer to give it a closer look.
Of course it has. Deeks looked at her like he was about to tell her the secret of the universe.
This one is known as a bluefin notho killifish. Its a killing fish he chuckle You know, a little
mutant ninja assassin... And it looks just like yours and mine combined. Its a little golden
orange and a little blue, it has the charm of yours and the awesomeness of mine... his voice
was filled with kindness, love and amusement.
Kensi didnt know how he managed to make her heart melt with those simple words, but he
did, and instantly she felt an urgent need to be touching him, to let him know what all that
meant to her. She put herself in front of him and gave him the most filled with love look. I
love our little fish and with that she gave him a quick kiss followed by the tightest hug she
could.
Deeks kissed the top of her head and mimicked her words I love our little fish and echoed a
whisper to himself what Kensi thought to be the whisper that had more love than most people
would think was possible. Our little fish
