A Thousand Years

There's Pain in Numbers

"Good Morning, Miss Blake." I say as I glance at Miss Blake's chart.

"How are you feeling this morning?" I ask as I change her IV fluids.

"I'm wonderful, thank you. Just tired, that's all."

I smile, and write down something's on her chart.

"I'll come back and check up on you in an hour!"

I exit the room and hand in my chart to Callen.

"Miss Blake is going to need some extra sugar this morning, her blood sugar is quite low." I tell the doctor.

Callen nodded. "Will do, I'll talk to the nurse on call."

I walk to my next patients room, and walk through the door.

"Good Morning Mrs Travis. How do you feel this morning?"

She shakes head and smiles.

"I'm in a lot of pain, but I know it was all worth it." She laughs.

Mr. Travis walks in with a cup of coffee and a muffin for his wife.

"Would you like me to grab your daughter?" I ask with a huge smile.

"I would love that, thank you Kensi."she says with a huge smile.

I walk over to the nursery and grab the Travis' baby girl. She is sound asleep.

I push her buggy in the room, and I carefully hand Mrs Travis her baby.

"What about you, Kensi? Have you and your husband ever thought of having kids?" She asks as she looks at me.

I play with my rings on my finger and smile.

"My husband has wanted kids since the day met, even before we started dating." I say with a laugh.

"My husbands in Afghanistan right now, so um, yah."

"Oh sweetie. You don't have to worry about him. He'll come back to you. Love is strongest enough to save lives." She says with a smile. I smile back.

I'm still in my scrubs and Nell and I go grocery shopping for our girl party.

"I'm just glad my shifts over, 12 hours in your feet just kill you." Nell says.

I laugh as a I grab cake mix off the shelf.

"You're feet will build a tolerance. You've only working for a month. I've been a nurse for almost 4 years now!"

Nell nudges me in the shoulder.

"Stop rubbing it in!"

We walk down the feminine hygiene aisle, and Nell grabs a box of pads.

"Do you need any Kens?" She ask as she puts her selection in the cart.

"No, I'm good--" I pause at my realization.

"What's wrong, Kensi?" She asks worried.

"It's August, right?"

Nell nods her head. "Yah, Deeks has been gone a month." She randomly states.

I stand in the store aisle in shock.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Is it done yet?" Nell excitingly asks.

"It hasn't been 3 minutes yet!!" I yell through the bathroom door.

I wait for what feels like an eternity, when the stick beeps three times.

I glance down at the stick, and all I see is "Pregnant, 4-8 weeks."

I open the bathroom door and Nell grabs the test out of my hands.

"OMG!! Kensi this is amazing!! You're going to be a mom!!"

Reality smacks me in the face, and I start to cry.

"It's alright! Kens! Don't cry! This is a happy moment!! There's nothing to be sad about!!" Nell attempts.

"Can we postpone girls night? I don't think I can handle it tonight."

"ATTENTION!!" Major Taylor yelled.

I stood straight and saluted the Major.

"You're dismissed for the night!"

I relax my body and throw my hat onto the bed.

"You alright Sargent?" I head a voice behind. I turn around and see a really built SEAL standing behind me.

"I'm good, thank you commander. I'm just worried about my wife, that's all."

"Sam Hanna." The man says as he shakes my hand.
