I want to start this last chapter with a huge 'thank you' for all of you who took the time to read and review not only this story but also 'Vulnerable'. Every time I start thinking about how this whole thing started it makes me realize I'm completely crazy. Vulnerable was supposed to be just a one-shot because there were not enough M stories featuring Kensi and Deeks.

I hope you enjoy this last chapter. Tell me what you think about this one last time.

Epilogue

3 Months later

Kensi is sitting on her desk, bored out of her mind.

She is currently over five months pregnant and Hetty assigned her to desk duty only.

The truth is that Deeks wouldn't have allowed her to go out to the field one way or another.

Hell, none of the guys would allow her to go out to the field while carrying the small human being inside of her.

She is not crazy enough to do such a thing either.

But now, sitting on her desk with nothing to do but fill out paperwork she wishes she could have gone with the guys just this once, even though the only reason while they are not on the office is because they went to pick up lunch.

Deeks is the first one to walk through the doors with a paper bag on his hands. He sets it in front of her and she looks at him suspiciously. "Did you bring me my bacon?"

Deeks nods and leans down for a peck on the lips before stroking her rounded belly. "Of course I did. My princess and my baby give the orders and I follow them obediently."

Kensi smiles sweetly at him and he sits on the couch behind her. Callen and Sam walk in with their lunches too.

Callen sits on his chair and starts messing with Kensi. "So, mommy, busy morning?"

Kensi's mood swings are not something one should mess with and they should know that by now. Deeks just shakes his head and gets ready for the yelling that is about to occur. His wife gets up with a look on her face that would make the strongest of man run for cover. It's a good thing looks can't kill otherwise Callen would be dead and buried by now.

She walks to Callen's desk and speaks using a sweet but fake tone of voice that scares them all even more. "You think that being pregnant is easy?"

Callen is obviously in the mood for some action and her look doesn't stop him. "Yes, I do. How hard can it be to sit around all day and have people satisfying your every need?"

"My feet hurt if I stand for too long, my back hurts from sitting on this chair all day, I can't sleep unless Deeks rests his hand on my stomach because the moment he removes it the baby starts kicking so hard that I can't even close my eyes, my favorite clothes don't fit me anymore and I'm hungry all the time. And I'm not even going to mention the ridiculous amount of times I have to go to the bathroom during the day. How hard can that be, right?"

Callen lets out a small laugh and extends his hand towards Sam who seems annoyed. "I told you she would mention the clothes."

Sam hands Callen 10 dollars and Deeks laughs from his spot on the couch. Kensi rolls her eyes and smack first Callen and then Sam across the head.

Then she walks to the couch and sits sideways on Deeks lap. Deeks rests his hand on her stomach to feel his baby kicking and moving.

It makes him smile every single time.

They have yet to find out the sex of the baby because they can never see it when they go to the appointments. It seems like the baby is as stubborn and his or her mother. Callen joked with that and told them that if he or she really was like Kensi they would only find out the sex during the adolescence.

4 months later

It's the team night out but that hardly matters because nowadays they spend every single night at Deeks and Kensi's house.

She's currently nine months pregnant and they are all on the edge.

Hetty doesn't even allow her to go to the office anymore and Deeks took a few days off so he could stay home with her.

Callen and Sam are still working but they keep their phones on and close by at all times and jump every single time they ring. Eric and Nell found a new practical joke. They call them when they are somewhat relaxed just to see them freaking out and jumping to answer the phone.

Now they are sitting on the living room watching a movie and making silly comments about it.

Kensi is sitting on the couch but the guys are on the floor sharing some pizza.

She can't even bring herself to eat.

She has been having weird pains in her waist ever since this morning but decided not to tell anyone about them. It would only worry them and she knows it's probably nothing to worry about. It's probably because of the weight of the baby.

However, it's starting to get harder to ignore them.

She gets up to go to the bathroom and the three men turn to her at the same time with worried looks on their faces. Kensi tells them she's only going to the bathroom and they seem to relax as she walks away.

It's cute to see how much they worry about her and it never fails to amuse her whenever she gets up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and sees Deeks waiting for her just outside the door to make sure she's alright.

She loves this baby but she needs him or her to get out of her. She wants her body back. God, it's been a few weeks since she has had some 'alone time' with her husband because she feels tired all the time and she misses it. Deeks is a great guy and never tries to start anything because he knows she can't bring herself to have sex in this state. She's thankful for that.

When Kensi comes back downstairs she is walking even slower than usual and the guys turn to her worriedly. Deeks gets up as soon as he sees the look on her face. She seems in pain and as soon as they understand that, Callen and Sam get up too and rush after Deeks who is already by her side holding her. Her hands are holding her stomach and they understand this has something to do with the baby.

Deeks is worried and holding her, afraid that she'll fall. "What's wrong, princess? Are you okay? Is the baby okay? Talk to me, Kens…"

Kensi breathes in and put a couple of times before answering him with a small smile on her face. "Don't freak out but my waters just broke. The baby is coming."

Deeks stands there, shocked and without knowing what to do or say. Callen and Sam are not in a much better state.

They only seemed to wake up from their trance when she lets out a yell of pain and clutches onto Deeks hand as hard as she can, almost breaking it.

Deeks holds her more tightly now that he knows what's going on and makes her sit on a chair nearby before looking at Callen and Sam. "Callen, go upstairs to out bedroom and grab the bag that is by the closet. Sam, here's my phone and the numbers you need to call to inform of what's going on. You only need to talk to Hetty, Renko and her brothers seeing as you two are already here."

They follow his orders and Deeks gets down on his knees next to Kensi, stroking her stomach and holding her hand to try and keep the pan away from the woman he loves. "Princess, I'm going to get the car out of the garage. I'll be right back, okay?"

He tries to get up but Kensi holds onto his hand and prevents him from moving. "Don't leave me alone. Please, don't go anywhere right now Deeks."

Deeks sees the fear in her eyes and kisses her forehead to calm her down. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here, Kens."

When Callen gets back downstairs, Deeks hands him the car keys and Sam puts the bag in the car. Deeks gets up and carries Kensi to the car even though she keeps protesting and saying that she's too heavy. Callen drives them to the hospital and Deeks is sure that he ignored a few red signs but he will personally use all his favors back at LAPD to get him rid of the tickets.

The doctors take her to a room as soon as they arrive to the hospital and Deeks is by her side the whole time, holding her hand and wishing that he could take all the pain away from her.

Deeks never knew it could be like this. Sure, he has heard plenty of stories but this is something new to him in so many ways.

Love is something he's already familiar with but this is completely new. He's not one to believe in love at first sight but things tend to change.

Now, looking at the little boy on the hospital crib he finds himself smiling just because he's holding his finger while sleeping. He loves Andrew Deeks since the moment he first held him on his arms. Then he looks at Kensi's sleeping form and smiles once again. He never knew he could love this woman even more but he was proved wrong. She gave him a son. She went through horrible pains to give him this baby, the living proof of the strength of their love for each other. She seems to sense his eyes on her because she wakes up and smiles at him. Deeks gets up and kisses her lip, pushing a few hairs out of her forehead.

He's the first one to break the silence but his voice is no louder than a whisper because he doesn't want to wake up his newborn baby. "I love you so much, princess."

She gives him a tired but happy smile. "I love you too."

They don't have the time to say or do anything else because Callen, Sam and Renko walk inside the room as silently as possible. Callen is holding a huge teddy bear, Renko has a bouquet of flowers and Sam has some balloons. They all give her a kiss on the cheek and shake Deeks hand to congratulate him before gathering around the baby's crib, even though he's fast asleep.

Deeks sits on the bed next to Kensi and gathers her in his arms, dropping small butterfly kisses all over her face.

She looks up and looks into his eyes. "He's going to be just like his father when it comes to women when he grows up."

Deeks smiles and holds her close to his chest. "Why is that?"

She shrugs and kisses his neck. "He has your eyes. It was the first thing I noticed about you."

Deeks looks at his baby's crib that is still surrounding by the 'over-protective uncles' and smiles at her. "Let's just hope he doesn't have his mother's trouble's magnet."

Kensi laughs and cuddles to her husband's chest. He kisses the top of her head and orders her to get some rest.

He never knew it was possible to feel this way.

Deeks is sure that the smile on his face won't leave anytime soon. This is his family and he couldn't wish for anything better.

He has the love of his life resting comfortably on his arms and his baby sleeping by his side. He is happy and his family is happy. What more can he ask for?

He already has it all.
