I'm coming out.

Chapter 12

Sam held the wriggling child in his arms and looked at him carefully. "My...son?" He asked amazed, "But...my son died?"

He looked again this child was the spitting image of his Rachel at that age. Jacob reached out to his father, "Daddy?" Jacob asked looking at his mom for a reply.

With tears in her eyes she nodded, "Yes baby that's your daddy."

Jacob looked at Callen, "No Daddy...G Daddy." he said pouting in a way that left Sam in no doubt that it was his son.

Callen moved forward a step his hands still tied, "No Jacob, Sam is your daddy."

Jacob wriggled out of Sam's grasp and ran towards Callen grabbing him around the leg, "No...G Daddy..." He insisted.

Callen shook off Deeks' hand on his arm and crouched to his knee. "Jacob, I love you and I love your mommy, but Sam is your daddy, look at your hands, you have the same hands as Sam."

Jacob looked at his hand and he walked up and put his hand in Sam's, "Same daddy?" he asked.

Sam teared up, "Yes...yes Jacob we have the same." he lifted him up and hugged him.

He looked over at a very worried Michelle, "Thank you." Sam said, "For keeping him for me and not letting him go into the system."

Michelle shifted uneasily, "Please...don't take him from me, he's all I have." she pleaded.

"I..."

"I think Mr. Hanna, this is something that we should all talk about in length," Hetty said walking into the room.

Nikita turned to the group, "I have a large breakfast coming I hope you will join us in the dining room for breakfast, I made arrangements if you wish for you to stay for a while."

"Until you kill us?" Deeks asked thinking of the undercover officers.

"We haven't killed anyone Deeks, they were all alive when they were sent back, they were supposed to highlight our cause, they can hardly do that if they are dead now can they?" Callen said.

"Our cause?" Deeks asked. "Have you joined them?"

Arkady and Nikita looked up in interest at his answer.

Callen stepped away from them and towards Nikita.

"I stand with my family." he stated.

Sam smirked, "See Deeks I told you he wouldn't let us down, we are his family and always will be."

"That's not what I meant Sam, This is my father, Nikita and my uncle Arkady. They run the NSBCA and the NSBCW."

"You don't have a father." Sam argued as Callen picked up the file Arkady had shown him just two weeks before and tossed it to his partner.

Nikita shifted worried about his son.

"DNA doesn't lie." Callen said, "Look at them, look at me, you can see we are related."

"But your loyalty to the government?" Sam argued, "You took an oath."

"Loyalty to family trumps everything, besides someone at Special Projects is sending information to the containment teams, if Hetty or I go back we will be instantly arrested, Hetty will be sent to Guantanamo and I may just end up being killed. So Sam...Do you want to hear us out of condemn me to death?"

Sam sat down and smiled as Jacob climbed into his lap.

"Convince me that we shouldn't just arrest the lot of you." He said.
