Hello my dears. Just to let you know that the second choice, Family Connection won the vote. Therefore this is the story I am writing. The first chapter has been posted. I hope you like it, and thanks for taking the time to read the choices and decide which you preferred.

Here's a recap of the summary I posted at the end of the previous chapter.

2. Family Connection

Set just after Kensi had gone to Afghanistan in season 5. Deeks discovers he is a father to a young girl, and has become her sole guardian. Having no clue how to look after a child he turns to the remainder of the team for help. A help which inevitably falls onto Callen's shoulders as the only one who doesn't have dependants of his own. Follow how the two men muddle through the strange new world of parenting, and in doing so find that they are drawn out of their individual solitary existences to becoming something more together. First as friends, but then as family, in every sense of the word.

(Could maybe then had a little squeal which talks of Kensi's reaction to this development when she returns, but not sure about that bit).
