A/N Thank you for your patience as you waited endlessly for this last chapter. I really hope it doesn't disappoint.

Chapter 16

Callen stood in his tux as Eric and Todd got their suits on.

He couldn't believe all that had happened in the last month.

Hetty had certainly pulled it off, an exclusive wedding, high in the Hollywood hills at the Yamashiro restaurant and exclusive wedding venue.

Apparently she had promised to show the head chef some of her more exotic sushi skills and had pulled in a number of favors.

Callen had sat with her a week ago after getting hold of the price list online.

"I can't afford this Hetty, I mean…It's so expensive, I want to give Sally everything she deserves but this…this is just too much, we are going to have to cancel." He said.

"Is there something wrong with the venue, Mr. Callen?" Hetty asked.

"No…it's beautiful, it's perfect….it's just…too expensive," Callen looked at the list again, by his calculations it would cost at least $500,000.00 he had some money saved but nowhere near that much.

"How do you think you would have paid for the wedding?" she asked.

"I dunno, I suppose if I had family they would have helped, I know I could ask Eric, but I only just became his brother, and not because of the money, but because he is like a brother to me, he helped me when I was down…but I won't ask him for this."

"I cannot tell you much Mr. Callen, but I can tell you all the proceeds of the wedding are covered, I did not pay for it and neither as far as I know did Mr. Beale. After you decided on the venue and were going for the cheapest package they could muster, an anonymous call came into the restaurant changed your order to the full package, with everything and the full amount was paid for your wedding."

Callen was instantly concerned, "What if it is the Comescu's maybe we should move the wedding?"

"I have had Mr. Beale and Miss Jones working on the call, all I can say is it was not a Comescu. I am sending Agents to provide security at your wedding as is Mr. Beale from his company; all above reproach. Your family will be safe Mr. Callen." She promised.

Callen had finally capitulated and left, he had to pick Sally and Kensi and the twins up from a dress fitting anyway.

As Callen walked off Hetty picked up the phone and dialed a number that she had on a piece of paper.

"Nikita…Henrietta…He found out, I have convinced him it is safe, you should come with him to his wedding."

She listened as the man on the other end explained why he could not be there.

"At least tell me his name, give him that for his wedding."

The man said something at the other end and Hetty smiled. "I thought as much, it is fitting for him." She said.

So there he was all dressed up and looking into the mirror.

"You ok?" Eric asked.

Callen nodded, "Yeah…I just wish…I dunno, that maybe I had family at this thing…I mean, you, Todd and Summer are family, and so are Sally and the kids, but… I mean. Amy…Mom…maybe my dad…so I could have more than a letter."

"That's the bit you're dreading, when they call you G in your vows?"

Callen nodded, "I mean without a name can I really be married?" he asked.

Eric looked at him, "Do you love her?" he asked,

"With all my heart," he answered without hesitation.

"When I married Myra, I didn't care about my name, the fact that we were the only two there, her family didn't come and mine had disowned me, all that mattered was the woman at the other end of my hand was the woman I hoped to spend the rest of my life with." He looked sad for a moment as he remembered the mother of his children.

Todd walked over and put his hand on his dad's arm, "Mom loved you dad, you know that don't you."

Eric nodded, "And she would have been so proud of you standing here today with your uncle G." he said adjusting Todd's bowtie.

There was a knock on the door and Hetty entered, "Gentlemen, may I have a moment with Mr. Callen?" she asked.

Eric and Todd nodded.

"Hetty." Callen said with a smile at the woman who was the nearest thing to a mother he had ever known.

"Mr. Callen, I did some digging for you and I have some information that you might need for today." I found this amongst Mr. Reinhardt's things." She said handing him an envelope.

Callen looked at it, the envelope was old and faded and the words Moy Syn. were written across the front.

"Is this?" he asked holding his breath.

Hetty shrugged "I do not know." She lied. She had aged the envelope but the letter was new, written in the last week, but to keep both parties safe she was not at liberty to tell Callen that now.

He took the letter and sat down with a shaky hand he opened the envelope. Not noticing the paper was newer than the envelope he took it out and started reading translating the Cyrillic into English as he read aloud.

"My dearest son,

I hope you receive this on your wedding day. I have asked friends to get this to you.

I love you and look forward to the day when it will be safe for us to be reunited. I know the woman you marry will be special, as you are sure to have grown to be a special man, you have so much of your mother in you and I know that wherever we are if we can't be with you we are watching from afar sending you love on this your special day.

I wonder if you have children, or if you will have children? What do you know about your Romani Russian heritage, I hope you know enough to know that although your mother was American-Romanian and I am Russian and she was in the CIA and I the KGB we loved each other very much, my son. You were born out of love and I hope your children are as loved by you and your future wife as I and your mother loved you and Amelia.

I have heard that you have been taken to America and I will when it is safe come and find you, Gavril, I do love you and it is only for your protection that I am kept from you.

Callen stopped reading…."I …I have a name?!" he said shocked.

"You do?" Hetty asked barely concealing her smiled.

Callen grinned. "Gavril…my name is Gavril." He laughed.

"Are you ready?" Hetty asked standing up.

Callen nodded, he walked through to the garden courtyard, past the guests smiling at Deeks sitting with Max, Sam, Michele and their daughter, Nell and Hetty sitting next to them looking after the twins who were impeccably dressed and asleep in their car seats, and went up to the celebrant who was to conduct the wedding and with a smile whispered in her ear.

Sally's mother sat next to Hetty in a floral dress, wiping her tears as her daughter got married.

Eric and Todd, as the best men stood beside him.

"You got the rings right?" Callen whispered to Eric.

"Yep." He smiled and all thoughts were hushed as Sally in her bridal gown walked down the aisle on the arm of her father, with Summer and Kensi as bridesmaids in attendance.

Eric smiled at Sally and looked lovingly at his daughter whom he thought was beautiful, Callen only had eyes for Sally and thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"I kinda changed something." He whispered to her.

She looked worried, but calmed as he smiled.

The celebrant started, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are here to join these two souls in Holy matrimony, Gavril Callen and Sally Lissaman."

There was a quiet murmur around the courtyard and the celebrant turned to Callen, "You weren't kidding?" she said quietly.

"They didn't know my first name, I didn't know until ten minutes ago." He admitted, "Give them a moment."

She smiled waited until the hubbub died down and continued with the wedding.

"Do you Sally Ann Lissaman, take Gavril Callen to be your lawful wedded husband?" the celebrant asked.

Sally grinned, "I do." She said a tear rolling down her cheek.

Callen clasped her hand tighter, and said his part of the vows.

Callen zoned out of the wedding focusing on the woman in front of him.

"Hem!" the celebrant coughed, "Mr. Callen, I said, you may kiss the bride." She smiled as Callen focused again and looked abashed, and then he grinned, pulled Sally into his arms and kissed her passionately.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Mr. and Mrs. Callen." She said and the guests clapped as they turned to face them as husband and wife.

Across the hills on a man with a camera on a telephoto lens took pictures.

"Congratulations son." He said with a smile his Russian accent betraying his nationality.

He took pictures until it was too dark for him to take anymore without his hiding place being betrayed.

Callen danced with his wife while his children were being held by Sam and Michelle.

Kensi danced with Deeks as his father watched happily and Eric danced with Summer and then Nell.

Callen moved off to dance with Hetty and thanked her for her help with the wedding.

Finally the evening wound down. Callen and Sally kissed the twins goodnight and handed them off to Sam and Michelle who were to look after them for a week while they were on their honeymoon.

Eric walked over to them, "You'll need these now." He said.

Callen looked at him. "What are they?" he asked.

"A wedding present from the kids and I, your honeymoon, to Bali, on the family Jet, I have a house out there, it's all opened up with staff for your use. It's on the coast with a jetty out to the sea, fully stocked with food and drink so you don't have to shop and a chef and maid have been flown out but you will hardly know they are there." He said handing them the handmade tickets, "Passports are in a bag summer has, and the Jet will be taking off in an hour." Eric grinned as he handed them the silk bag.

"Wow…Eric…This is…."

"Awesome, wonderful, a present you are going to accept and have fun with." Eric prompted and Sally laughed.

"Yes Eric, but we haven't packed." Sally said.

"Don't worry, Summer and Kensi packed for you, and Todd and I packed for Callen." He said with a smirk as his brothers' unease.

"You did pack me pants?" Callen asked.

Eric grinned and walked off.

"ERIC!" Callen yelled running off after his brother while Sally and Summer laughed at the two men.

Max walked over to Kensi and Deeks, "so will you guys be next?" he asked with a hopeful smile.

Kensi laughed and Deeks looked uncomfortable, "Dad..."

"What?" he asked.

Kensi wrapped her arms around Deeks' neck, "Maybe Max, just maybe." She said and Deeks couldn't wipe the grin off his face.

Hetty sat in the corner Nell beside her, "This has been a wonderful day don't you think?" she asked.

Nell nodded, "It has, and Callen had a name…How did you find that out?" she asked.

"I found a letter in Mr. Reinhardt's belongings." Hetty told her.

"But…I went through his belongings myself; there was no letter for Callen?" Nell asked confused.

Hetty smiled and stood up. "I think the happy couple is leaving." She said and walked towards the exit.

Callen and Sally said their goodbyes and climbed into the car.

Sally leaving as Callen's wife and Callen leaving with both a wife and a name.

For everyone there suddenly the future looked brighter.
