A/n: Hi! So I have this one shot thing, and after I got yelled at about making this a separate story thing... here we are. If you're here and not familiar with any of the one shots, here's what you need to know.
Kensi and Deeks are married, and so are Eric and Nell. Max and Callie are Kensi and Deeks' kids. Samantha (usually just Sammy) is Nell and Eric's daughter. Max and Sammy are together. Callie is a federal agent, as she wanted to follow in her Mom's footsteps.
This is the rewritten version that puts it in the same POV as the rest of the story.
"Mom, dad. I'm um, pregnant," my brother said.
I smiled, crossing my arms over my chest. "This ought to be an interesting story."
Max shook his head. "I mean, she's um, as in like..."
His wife Sammy had had enough. "Max, I got this." He wrapped his arms over and around her neck. "What he's trying to say is, we're pregnant."
A small smile washed over Mom's face. Her cheeks were a warm red. She looked at the nervous yet contented looks on their faces.
"We know its kind of been a long time, we've been married for three years, but we're really excited," Max said, grinning down at Sammy.
Max was growing more nervous.I could tell by the look in his eyes, the apprehensive shallow breaths he was taking.
Dad looked like he couldn't believe it.
Not that he didn't see it coming or anything. It's just now that it was right in front of them, he must have been so excited and thrilled that he couldn't form words.
He'd spent upwards of the last 20 years being what he didn't have, a good father. And now his son, who was in his opinion one of the greatest men on the planet, was going to become one. And it just blew his mind. His baby boy was going to be a father. That didn't scare him at all. It filled him with love, and he loved the little baby already.
It made me happy too.
Noticing the petrified look on his son's face, Dad decided to verbally respond somehow. "That's amazing."
"Max, I don't know why you're so nervous. We're really happy for you," Mom said. "I want hugs."
She stood to meet her daughter in law and Max in a big hug.
"It's really not nerves, mostly just excitement," Max said, smiling lovingly at his wife.
"Do Eric and Nell know?" Dad asked.
"We told them yesterday," Sammy said.
"That's why they were being all secretive today! I knew something was up!" Dad exclaimed. Mom rolled her eyes.
"Come on, tea in the kitchen. Sammy, why don't you come help me?" Mom said.
"My pleasure!" she exclaimed.
As they migrated toward the kitchen, Dad stopped Mom. "She's so Nell," he said, gesturing toward Sammy.
"And he's so you," she said, referencing toward my brother.
"We're getting old. Grandparents," he said.
"Don't change the subject," she said. "You know you looked exactly like this when I was pregnant."
I smiled. Agh, parents still in love.
With that, she tapped him on the ass playfully and ran off into the kitchen. Max laughed, having also caught what our parent's thought was a private conversation.
He almost stepped into the kitchen himself, but I softly called after him, "Wait!"
"Yeah, Callie?"
I walked over to my brother. "I'm really happy for you. Congratulations. You guys really deserve this."
He pulled me into a hug. "Thank you, Callie. Have you told Mom about..."
"Shhhh..." I shushed him quicky. Damn you, Max. "She doesn't need to know."
"Mmmhm," Max said. "Whatever you say. She can probably help you, you know."
"No, its not a big deal. It'll be fine."
"I don't believe you." Max said, "But I guess its not up to me though, is it?"
"Not at all," I said, nodding.
