In Love With A Wonder Twin

Chapter 29

"You always know just what to say." Nell spoke, as she gently tugged on his shirt.

"I don't know about that." Callen replied.

Nell rose her eyebrows, "Oh really? Well, I do." She stated, reaching up on her tippy toes and kissing him softly on the lips.

"I better go and let Hetty know that I have been bumped up. And then I have to go home and pack some things. The doctors say I'll be in hospital for at least a couple of days." Nell spoke.

"Okay. Wait, what time is your appointment? I'm coming with you."

Nell shook her head, "Callen, you don't have to do that. I'll be fine. You have your own things to worry about. I'll call you when I'm out of surgery, okay?"

"No."

"No? What do you mean, no?" Nell asked.

"No. I'm coming with you, Nell. I'm not letting you down again. I am going to be right by your side when you wake up." Callen argued.

Nell smiled, "There's no changing your mind now, is there?"

"I'm afraid not, Miss Jones. Now come on, I'll come with you to talk to Hetty and then we can go to your house and get what you need, and then go and get this over and done with. What do you say?"

Nell smiled once again, "Sounds like a plan."

Callen opened the door for them and they walked out of the burn room, and past the bullpen, completely disregarding the looks of confusion and concern, that the team were shooting their way.

"Hetty? Do you mind if we talk to you for a minute?" Callen asked.

Hetty nodded, "Of course, Mr Callen, Miss Jones. What can I do for you?"

"I got a call from the hospital. They have had some cancellations and can fit me in for my operation tonight." Nell explained.

Hetty nodded. "I see. And I assume, that you, Mr Callen, would like to accompany Miss Jones?"

Callen nodded, "Yes."

"Very well. You may go now. Keep me updated, Mr Callen. Good luck, Miss Jones. I hope everything goes well."

"However, Mr Callen. We are in the middle of a case. And even though it is not going anywhere at the moment, you will need to be reachable, in case your team needs your assistance." Hetty added.

Callen nodded, "Of course. Thank you, Hetty."

Hetty nodded, as Callen and Nell walked out of her office.

They stopped by the bullpen, so Callen could collect his things, as Nell had already collected hers.

"Guys, what's going on? Are you leaving? Did you find something on the case?" Sam asked.

Nell shook her head once again. "No."

Callen smiled, once he noticed Nell was slightly irritated by all of the questions.

"Nell got a call from the hospital. They bumped her up and she is having her operation tonight, instead of Friday." Callen explained.

"What? Oh my god, that's great! Right?" Deeks asked.

Nell nodded in reply.

"Nell, you look a little bit pale. Are you okay?" Kensi asked.

Nell nodded. "Hmm? Yeah. I'm fine. We should probably get going, G."

Callen froze, turning to Nell. "Wait, what did you just say?"

Nell froze in return, once she realised what she had said. "I'm sorry, Callen. I didn't mean to say that."
