Chapter 3

Eric was sitting on Kensi and Callen's living room couch. They had decided to spend some time together so they were currently watching a movie at their house. Sam and Amanda were there with their two boys, Michael who was 6 years old and Richard who was 4 years old. Amanda was 7 months pregnant now so technically they were there with their three boys. Nate and Carla were there with their girl, Vanessa who was 2 years old. Eric and Abby were there too but without kids. Kensi and Callen were sitting on the couch and their three kids were on the floor. Anna was now 12 years old, Sam was 9 years old and Andrew was 4 years old. They kids were all playing on the floor while the adults watched a movie picked by the boys this time.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Kensi got up to open the door. On the other side of it was Chris, a boy from Anna's school who was her age.

"Hi, Chris! Would you like to come in?"

The boy seemed nervous but nodded and got in followed by his mother who soon started to talk with Kensi and Amanda while they walked to the living room. Callen looked up and saw Chris. Kensi signaled him to shut up and he turned back to the TV.

Anna got up and went to greet her friend who seemed even more nervous than before. Callen and Sam were staring at the scene before them, ready to talk if the occasion asked for it.

"So, Anna there's going to be a school dance next weekend and I was wondering if you'd like to come with me to it?"

Anna seemed ecstatic with the idea.

"You want me to be your date?"

The boy nodded and Callen got up from the couch. Kensi walked to him before he could reach them and wrapped her arms around his waist with a fake smile on her face. Then, she whispered in his ear:

"If you dare to ruin this for our daughter I swear to God that we won't have sex until the day she leaves for college!"

Callen stared at Kensi a bit scared now but she just kept that fake innocent smile on her face and he went back to the couch. Sam was shooting him a look to ask him if he wasn't going to stop that but Callen just shrugged and went back to the TV trying to block the talk coming from behind him. After they had all left, only Callen and Sam stood in the living room. Amanda was helping Kensi with the dishes in the kitchen and the kids were all in the basement that Callen had recently transformed into a playroom much to their delight and happiness.

"I can't believe that you just stood there without doing anything while that kid was asking your daughter to go out on a date with him."

"Okay, first of all it's not exactly a date…It's a school dance. They'll be surrounded by teachers and some parents who offered to do that. And I tried to say something but on case you didn't notice, Kensi stopped me!"

"You've been saying that Anna won't be allowed to date until she's 30 years old and now you change your mind because Kensi said something t you…"

"It wasn't just something, okay? She said that if I ruined this for Anna, she wouldn't have sex with me until she was old enough o go to college!"

"And you actually believed in that? Kensi's two months pregnant…After three pregnancies you should know by now that her hormones drive her crazy to the point that she can't get enough of you. That was an empty threat! Besides, I've heard her do that threat every time that she's in labor. If I remember correctly, when she gave birth to Andrew she actually said that she would never let you touch her again and that she was going to make you do a vasectomy. And yet, she's pregnant again!" "

Callen looked at Sam for a few seconds before his words really set in. He had been tricked by his wife. She would pay for this…

Callen was sitting on their bed waiting for Kensi. She was in the bathroom getting ready to go to bed and he was just waiting for her. The kids were already asleep. Anna had her own bedroom but Sam and Andrew shared a bedroom, mainly because that way, if Andrew woke p in the middle of the night after a nightmare, he would wake up Sam instead of Callen and Kensi.

Finally she walked into the bedroom and he could only stare at her. After all these years she still amazed him with her beauty. She still slept with one of his shirts and he was more than okay with that. He preferred when she slept naked, of course but the feeling of her bare legs in his was enough to make him sleep like a baby. She lied next to him and snuggled into his chest.

"You tricked me today!"

"Yes, I did but I had good reasons to do it. You were going to ruin that date for our daughter…I couldn't let you do that!"

"Kenz, she's my little girl!"

"I know that and it's cute how much you care but you have to let her grow. She's responsible, you know that! She will behave!"

"It's not with her that I'm worried about!"

"Honey, they're 12 years old. I really doubt that his intention was having sex with her!"

"Don't even joke about that, baby!"

Kensi just smiled and snuggled even closer to him. She slipped one of her legs in the middle of his and kissed him. She stroked his chest while doing so and he felt all those thoughts leaving his head. He pulled back for a few seconds to ask her:

"Are you trying to distract me?"

"That depends. Is it working?"

"Always!"

And with that, Callen kissed his wife. They didn't know what the future would bring but they knew that as long as they had each other, their kids and their friends, everything would be okay!

So? What do you think? Do you have any more suggestions or should I just stop here?
