Eric blew the loudest whistle he could possibly accomplish, Callen, Sam and Deeks looked up from their desks.
"Another case already, we only just closed the last one" Deek's moaned.
"No, no case but me and Nell have a bit of an announcement" Eric said beaming.
"Oh, I forgot today was the day of your 3 month ultrasound how'd it go" Sam asked climbing the stairs, Callen and Deeks not far behind.
"You'll see" Eric said not following them as they passed him. "you guys seen Hetty"
"Yeah she's in the shooting range" Callen said
"Okay, I'll go get her" Sam offered heading towards the armoury.
"Ok but hurry" Eric shouted after him.
Sam found Hetty sitting at the armoury bench cleaning her retractable gun with neat precision. He knocked on the wall just outside the door.
"Yes, what is it mister Hanna" Hetty asked not even looking up.
"Hetty, Eric and Nell want to speak to us in OPS."
"I assumed they would." Hetty said a knowing look on her face.
"And that means." Sam asked slightly amused Hetty always knows as Deeks says.
"Well lead the way mister Hanna" Hetty commanded following him out of the armoury and up to OPS.
"Deeks stop moaning" Kensi groaned holding her hand to her temple.
"I don't see why they don't just tell us already." Deeks said impatiently.
"We would like everyone to be here Deeks so if you could shut you trap maybe the time will go quicker" Nell snapped not looking at him. Kensi, Callen and Eric looked at her shocked.
"WHAT!" Nell snapped again.
"Nothing you just seem a bit cranky" Eric said trying to tread lightly.
"I like to see how cranky you fell after widncdkksnxjcb" Eric covered Nell mouth putting his free hand to his lips.
"Secret" he whispered.
"Fine" Nell said sighing long and loud.
"Right as everyone is here" Eric said as Hetty and Sam walked in. "we will get on with the announcement"
"Well that would be great, I mean I'm dying of old age over here" Deeks moaned.
"ZIP IT, DEEKS OR I SWEAR I WILL RIP OUT YOUR TONGUE" Nell yelled. Sam gave a knowing chuckle.
"Okay" Eric said trying to clear the air. "as you know this afternoon was our 3 month ultrasound and well there was something unexpected." Eric said trying to word it right.
"What he is trying to say is" Nell said trying to help him but also failing to find the correct phrase to word this particular situation.
"Just show them the picture." Kensi said nodding her head as Deeks gave her a funny look.
Eric leaned over past Nell and tapped a button on the computer. The ultrasound picture came up and the room fell silent. The first to react was Sam he just smiled at them, as he knew that the others would be a lot less encouraging. Deeks stood with his mouth open and Callen who had never seen an ultrasound before wondered what all the fuss was about. Hetty who was standing at the edge of the group nodded almost giving her approval.
