A Thousand Years

Trouble in Paradise

I sat on the edge of the bathtub, grasping the little stick that would say if we were bringing another child into this world.

My heart was racing because I was really nervous. Deeks and I have been trying for two months already, and it's been negative twice.

When it beeps, I slowly look down to see what it says.

"Pregnant, 2-3 weeks."

I quickly throw away the test and run downstairs to tell Deeks.

"Morning," I say to Deeks as I open the cabinet to grab Liam's food.

"You seem awful cheerful this morning!" Deeks said as he put down the newspaper. I open the jar of baby food and grab Liam's spoon.

"What are you not telling me?"He asks as he stands up and walks towards me.

I could barely contain my excitement.

"I'm pregnant, Deeks!" I says as I jump into his arms. He swings me around the kitchen. When he puts me down, he gives me a big kiss.

I break away and smile.

"We're going to have a lot of work to do, mister. We have to move everything from the guest bedroom upstairs to the empty room down here."

"That'll be easy enough, sugar bear." Deeks says with a huge smile.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Nell screamed through the phone.

"That's amazing, Kensi!! I'm so happy for you and Deeks!"

"Thanks, Nell. We're really excited as well."

"I'd love to sit and chat but I've got to check on this patient who just came out of surgery. I'll phone ya later!" And with that she hung up.

I hung the phone back and heard the sound of Deeks' combat boots come down the steps.

As Deeks walked down the last step, he was standing in front of me in full uniform, like he was headed off to work.

"Are-have you been-?" I couldn't even finish my sentence I was too shocked.

"No no no!" Deeks said as he ran over to my side before I had a panic arrack. "I'm not being deployed, I've been called back to the base."

Air started to fill my lungs again. Without saying anything I hold onto Deeks tight.

"I'll have dinner all ready for you when you get home, then!" I say after a good five minutes of hugging.

"I can't wait." Deeks said with a kiss and he was out the door.

"Dadda!" Liam attempted.

"Yup. Daddy's coming home for dinner this time, baby. Don't you worry."

Deeks POV

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Sam Hanna!" I say as I bro hug Sam.

"I see you made it home safe and sound!" Hanna said as we broke away from our hug.

"I safely made it home and to my wife and baby, sir." Hanna's eyes widen with shock.

"You ain't serious! You mean you were one of those marines in the movies?!"

I laughed and look down at my freshly polished boots.

"I was, Sam. And I couldn't be any happier."

"That's good, Deeks. I'm glad Kensi's doing well! What's the name of your baby?" Sam asked as we headed for duty.

"Liam. His name is Liam Tyler Blye-Deeks."

"That's a beautiful name, Deeks. He'll grow to love it." Sam said with a smile.

"ATTENTION!"

With a blink of an eye, all officers on deck stomped their right foot and saluted to the major.

"At ease." The major said.

All of stood up straight with our hands together behind our back.

"I've called you all in here today, because Los Angeles maybe in some serious trouble," the major walked up and down between the two rows of soldiers, who all served with me in Afghanistan. "Sargent Quest was killed last night in Downtown Los Angeles. He was found in an abandoned warehouse.

"NCIS is currently investigating, they believe it's a group of people who seek to overthrow the US Government. The White House is on high alert, and I'd advise you do the same. You're dismissed."
The major walked out, and the group of soldiers immediately were buzzing.

"Why would anyone want to hurt Sargent Quest? He was a really nice guy, he had a wife and baby on the way, I believe." Sam said as he walked towards the main building.

"I don't know, but I just hope one of us isn't next."

Kensi POV

I was cutting up the vegetables for Deeks favourite dish, when I heard a knock on the door.

"Be there in a minute!" I shout as I dry my hands. I put down the towel and walk towards the door. I open it an am greeted with a man in a mask.

"You're coming with me!" The man said as he grabbed my arm. I quickly twisted back his arm and kneed him in the groin. He bent down in pain.

"Don't make me angry!" He yelled as I heard him try to stand up.

I run to the kitchen and grab two pairs of knives from the drawer.

I hide behind the island and get ready to arrack. I hear more men come through the front door.

When I see the mans foot, I quickly try and stab it with a knife, only to be disappointed to find out he's wearing metal toed boots.

He throws me onto the floor and I land on my back. He pulls out a gun and aims it right at my chest.

"Ple-please don't shoot me!" I scream.

Two men walk up behind and the masked man talks to them in a foreign language. Suddenly the two men grab me by the arms, while one of the men puts a cloth over my mouth.

Knowing its a sedative, I feel my vision getting foggy. The masked man takes off his mask and I'm left seeing a fizzy, but familiar face.

"It's you." I say weakly before I give into the darkness.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
What's going to happen to Kensi? Who's after her and why? It's getting really exciting. 😃

I just want to say I know nothing about the Marine Corps, so everything in Deeks' scene with Sam was just me trying to remember commands from Military movies. I'm sorry if they're not accurate :)

Thank you for all your support, it really helps me continue to write!

Kisses, Aly 😘❤️
