Here's chapter 15!

I'm not quite sure what happened to the spacing at the end, so sorry if it is hard to read.

It was a sunny May morning in Los Angeles. Kensi and G had planned to bring Shay to the beach since they were on call today. They got to the beach around ten and there was a small amount of people there. The majority of the people were surfers.

G carried Shay until they got onto the sand and then he put her down and allowed her to walk.

Shay began to walk as fast as her little legs would allow her to on the sand. "Eri!" Shay exclaimed when she saw the surfers in the water. "Eri!" She called out again. Shay knew that her Uncle Eric surfed and always assumed he was the only person who did.

"That's not Uncle Eric Shay." G told his daughter as he kept pace with her.

"Eri!" She said pointing at the ocean. She started to try and walk faster, but her legs would not allow her to move any faster.

G and Kensi smiled at their daughter's determinedness to get to the water's edge and find her Uncle Eric even though he was not really there.

Kensi grabbed Shay's hand a few feet away from the water and continued to walk with Shay while G set their stuff down.

"Mama, Eri!" Shay tried to find Eric in the water.

Kensi knelt down to Shay's height and held her waist as the water came up to their feet. "Uncle Eric is out with Aunt Nell, remember?" Kensi asked the eleven month old.

Shay got distracted from the surfers in the water when the water had come up to her feet. She looked down at the water and saw a shell. She went to pick it up and show it to Kensi. "Mama!" She said excitedly as she held it up to her mother's face.

"Very pretty Shay. Do you want to go show Daddy?" Kensi asked her.

"Yea!" Shay said and turned away from the ocean and searched for her father. Kensi led her in the right direction and when Shay saw G she held the shell up. "Dada!"

G looked up at his daughter and wife walking toward him. "What did you find Shay?"

Shay put the shell in G's hand and then climbed onto his lap.

Kensi sat down on the chair next to G's and watched as G looked at the shell.

"That's cool, Shay. Did you find it in the water?" G asked his daughter as she got down off his lap and picked up one of her beach toys.

"Yea!" Shay said happily as she began to play with the sand.

G put the shell in one of the pockets of the beach bag and then began to play in the sand with Shay. Shay took her shovel and began piling the sand onto Kensi's feet.

"Are you burying me?" Kensi smiled and laughed at her.

Shay smiled at her mom and continued to cover her feet and legs with sand. "Dada! Help!" Shay said excitedly.

Kensi looked at Shay shocked. "Shay, you just said a new word!" Kensi said excitedly this time.

G clapped his hands. "Yay Shay!" His smile grew wider when Shay began to show her show-stopping smile. Shay knew when they were proud of her and always smiled her biggest smile.

May 15th, 2012

"Sam!" Kensi shouted.
"G! No!" Sam shouted at his partner.
"You're not going anywhere." G said.
"Are you going to shoot me for the whole world to see?"
Kensi watched G and saw all of the emotions run through his body. "G, don't do this." She pleaded just like she was told to do. "Think of Shaylynn. Just let it go." She watched the police get out of their cars. "Federal agents!" She said holding up her badge. She looked at G again. "G, don't." She said right as he shot him multiple times.
"G drop your gun!" Sam said when he finished shooting.
The cops ran over and handcuffed him after the gun hit the ground. Kensi jumped in the van to see if there was a pulse. None.
Kensi got out and watched as her husband was read his Miranda Rights and put into the back of the police cruiser. She turned to Sam with fake tears brimming in her eyes. "What the hell am I supposed to tell Shaylynn?" Kensi said keeping up her act.

Later that night, Kensi pulled into her mother's driveway. She got out of the car and went to the door. She tries to open it, but it was locked. She knocked on the door.
A few seconds later her mother opened the door. "Hey sweetheart." Julia greeted. "Where is G?"
Kensi walked in the house. "He got himself arrested." Kensi said semi truthfully.
"How?" She asked walking with Kensi to where Shaylynn is.
"Shot a guy that he was told not to. Other cops came to the scene before we could really do anything. They took him even though we said we were federal agents and to get back in their car." She finished as she saw Shay sitting in the living room with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the TV.
"So, your people aren't going to bail him out?"
"I don't know. My boss didn't tell me anything, but if they don't I will." She lied looking at her daughter. "His emotions got the best of him. He's had a tough life. Even thinking of Shay wasn't strong enough to get him to not do it." Kensi had to keep up her act even if that meant she was lying to her mother and daughter.
Julia looked at her daughter as her eyes started to get glossy. "Do you want to stay for dinner?"
"No," She said walking over to Shay and picking her up. "I just want to spend some time with Shay."
"Alright," She kissed Kensi and Shay's cheeks. "Drive safely please."
"I will." Kensi said and headed for the door. "Thank you for watching her."
"You're welcome sweetheart."
Kensi went outside and shut the door behind her. She walked down the sidewalk to her car. She opened the back door, put Shay in her car seat, buckled her, and shut the door. She got into the front seat and started the car.
"Mama, where Dada?"
Kensi sighed. She hoped she wouldn't ask until they got home. "Um. Daddy went to visit some people."
"He didn't say g'byes?" Shay asked sadly.
Kensi couldn't take the sadness from her. "No, he was in a rush. He's sorry though." Kensi looked in the rear view mirror at Shay. "It's okay. He'll be back soon." She tried to say convincingly.
"But Dada never leaves wifout sayin I wuv you." She kept going on.
Kensi turned in her seat to look at her. "Shay-bay. It's okay. Daddy didn't mean to leave that way. He still loves you very much, nothing will change that." This was the thing Kensi had hated about the plan.

When they got home a little over a half hour later, Shay had fallen asleep. Kensi got out of the car and grabbed her bag from the passenger's seat. She slung it on her shoulder and closed the front door. She opened the back door, unbuckled Shay carefully, and picked her up. Kensi shut the door and locked the car. She walked up the driveway and unlocked the front door, going inside. She headed upstairs to lay Shaylynn down.
As she went to lay Shay in the crib she tightened her grip on Kensi's jacket. "You up Shay?" Kensi asked standing up straight.
"Want to stay wif you." Shay mumbled into Kensi's shoulder.
"Alright." She said and went back downstairs. She put her bag down at the bottom of the staircase. She headed for the kitchen. "Do you want to eat something?"
"Yogu." She mumbled.
"That's it?" Kensi asked opening the fridge grabbing her yogurt.
"Yea."
Kensi went over to the table and put Shay in the high chair. She put the yogurt on the table after removing the peel. She grabbed a spoon from the drawer and handed it to Shay.
"No sit in chair." Shay said.
"Yes. For a few more months you have to." She put a bib around her neck and sat in the chair next to the high chair.
"Mama, Dada come home soon." She said putting yogurt in her mouth.
"Hopefully." Kensi said and rubbed her thumb against Shay's cheek. She got up and opened the fridge. She took out the leftover Penne Vodka and put some on a plate to heat up.

After they were done eating they headed upstairs and to the bathroom. Kensi started to run the water to give Shay a bath.
"Mama, sweep in big bed?" Shay asked as Kensi took Shay's clothes off.
"Yes, I need somebody to cuddle with." Kensi smiled at Shay.
She put the toddler in the tub and gave her, her bath. When she was done she wrapped a towel around Shay and picked her up from the floor. She went into Shay's room and opened the dresser drawer that contained Shay's pajamas.
"Which jammies do you want to wear?" Kensi asked.
"Purple Butterfies." Shay said pointing out the pajamas.
Kensi grabbed the pajamas out of the drawer, shut it, and grabbed a diaper from the changing table. She walked to her room and put the clothes on the bed. She dried Shay off and changed her into her pajamas. She put the towel in the hamper in her bathroom and changed into her pajamas. She lay on her bed and pulled Shay up next to her. She put her under the blankets and got under them herself. She lay on her side and watched her daughter start to drift back to sleep.
"I love you Shaylynn." Kensi said and kissed her cheek. She watched her daughter sleep for a little bit before she fell asleep herself.

Early the next morning, Shay awoke and sat up in the bed. "Mama." She said poking Kensi repeatedly.
Kensi slowly opened her eyes. "Hey baby." She sat up and stretched. She looked at the clock which read 7. She got out of bed and picked Shay up. As she was walking out of the room to Shay's, her cell rang. She went back to get it off the nightstand. "Hey Sam," She answered.
"Running late?" He questioned her.
Kensi walked to Shay's room. "Not really. We just woke up. Should still be there on time."
"Granger didn't call you?" Sam asked.
"No, why would he call me?" Kensi asked placing Shay on the changing table and putting her phone on speaker. She went to grab clothes for Shaylynn.
"Granger called all of us in early. Hetty resigned again." Sam said.
Kensi heard the car engine start in the background. "Did he say anything about G?"
"Not a word..."
"Sam!" Shay said holding the phone in her hands.
"Hi Shay-Bay." He spoke.
"You wif Dada?" She asked as Kensi walked back over to her.
"No, I'm not with Daddy."
"Sam, I'll call you back when we're leaving."
"Alright." He said. "Bye Shay."
"Say bye to Sam." Kensi said holding the phone by her face.
"Bye!"

Later that night, Kensi opened the door to her mother's house and was followed in by Callen. "Shaylynn, someone's here to see you." She called.
Shaylynn came running into the hallway. "Daddy!" She yelled and ran into his arms. She hugged him tightly. "I miss you Dada. Never go nowhere without sayin' g'byes." Shaylynn mumbled into his shoulder.
"I promise princess." Callen said cherishing his daughter.
Shaylynn leaned her head back to look at Callen. "Daddy hurt."
"It's not that bad. I'll be better in no time."
