They made it to Nell's parent's anniversary party which was in Washington DC, so they had planned to visit Gibbs while they were there so that Gibbs could meet Nell. They told her parents the news about Nell being pregnant but that it was still early so they didn't want to share the news with everyone just yet but the party was great and all of Nell's family seemed to like him, her great aunt a little too much gave his butt a good pinching the two days they were with Nell's family.

Callen could tell Nell was a little nervous when the taxi pulled up at Gibbs's house, it was also they're last day in DC they were heading back to LA the next day. Callen took her had when they got out of the taxi
"Just relax and be yourself, Gibbs won't bite" Callen said before giving her a kiss on the forehead. Callen was glad the meeting with Gibbs went really well, he and Nell got on quite well. Gibbs had told him he liked her when Nell had gone to use the bathroom and Callen had told Gibbs that Nell is pregnant and Gibbs congratulated him. They decided when they got back to LA they would wait for maybe another month before telling the others if they could help it.

Turns out they could it only took a couple of days back at work and Nell's morning sickness started to raise its head, so they had to tell everyone. Everyone was happy for them which helped Callen nerves at little especially when Hetty gave them the name a good doctor she trusted, but everything started to go very smoothly.

Callen finally got around to asking Nell to move in with him, even though they were pretty much living together anyway, he knew asking would be a step in the right direction. The team helped Nell move in; Callen wasn't sure who complained more about the work, Deeks or Eric but with Callen's house being so empty all of Nell's stuff fitted in quite easily. They both decided to wait few months before buying anything for the baby Callen was worried about whether Nell would want to get marry or something which started to worry him slightly, he knew they would have to talk about it eventually but for right now he was just happy that everything was okay and right and both Nell and the baby were okay. He started to understand why Sam had been trying to get him to settle down; he really was enjoying coming home to a full house with Nell there and waking up beside her. He had woken up a couple of times during the night the first couple of weeks just to watch her sleeping just in case it had all been a dream and she really wasn't there. Nearly four months into her pregnancy Callen and Nell were invited around to Sam and Quinn's place for dinner, Nell was a hit with Quinn and the kids. Quinn was so happy for him which he made a little embarrassed.

Nell started to get quite self-conscious as her baby bump started to grow, but she was more worried that something might happen to Callen when they are away on a mission or an assignment, that he would get killed or seriously injured that he wouldn't be able to make it back in time to be there for the birth or to see his child grow up. At their 6th month check-up and ultrasound they were asked if they want to find out whether they were having a boy or a girl, they looked at each other it was the one thing they hadn't talked about

"We should, just in case" Callen said

"You're right just in case" Nell agreed "can you tell" she asked the doctor

"We sure can" the doctor replied.
