“Hey, Kens. Where’s Deeks?”

The brunette offers the team leader a smile before taking a seat at her abnormally clutter-free desk. “Oh, he had to go change. Had a little spill on the way in this morning.”

“Spill?”

“Yeah…there was some touching and-”

“Stop right there.” The former Navy SEAL interrupts, eyes staying trained on his newest origami creation.

A smirk curls at the corner of her lips as she pulls out her laptop, knowing her husband would be proud. “You know, I’m really gonna miss making you two uncomfortable.”

“Oh, I’m sure you and your hubby will find a way to do it even from two and a half thousand miles away.”

Kensi’s eyes go wide in surprise as she turns to her desk mate. “I’ll take this one.” Callen’s brow furrows as he turns his attention to his partner. “And you know the exact distance because?”

“Yeah, Sam Dawg, you gonna miss us or somethin’?”

A little startled that he didn’t notice the investigator approach his desk and sit down the muscular agent turns to his right, laughter immediately dying at his lips.

“What the hell are you doing?” Sam can feel the blood drain from his face as he’s met with a white face and a painted-on smile all accentuated by a big red nose. Slowly, oh so slowly, he stands, eyes not moving from his shaggy teammate who looks more like Annie now with his big red curls. “This isn’t funny, Deeks.”

“Come on, babe. He’s scared.” Kensi ‘tries’ to coarse her husband to stop, unable to keep the laughter out of her voice.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen the color drain from his face that fast.” The team leader has a look of intrigue and humor written across his face.

The former SEAL looks down and is yet again met with overly sized objects that are red…not the shoes. “If you stop, I’ll let you drive the Hellcat.”

“Eh, this is more fun.” Deeks shrugs as he begins walking towards his desk mate, arms stretched wide. “Now give Uncle Marty a hug.”

Kensi shakes her head, making her way over to the coffee station as her husband chases the man that’s like a brother to them around the bullpen.

“Get away from me, Shaggy, I mean it.” Sam tries to hide behind Kensi but she quickly sidesteps him, moving out of the way and allowing Deeks to go in for the kill.

A look of betrayal crosses his face…he should’ve known. “Oh, I see what this is. A little Densi prank.”

The investigator shares a look with his wife and then the team leader. “Did he just…”

Callen huffs out a laugh in disbelief. “Did you just ship name them?”

“If I admit that I did, will you get him the hell away from me?” Sam looks at his best friend with pleading eyes.

“I dunno, man, you really do look like you need a hug.” Callen gets up from his desk walking towards them but instead of stepping in he stretches out his empty mug towards Kensi.

Killbride takes a sip of his lukewarm coffee as he watches the scene play out from above. Shaking his head he can’t help the small smile that spreads to his lips.

“You’re gonna miss them.”

His brow pinches as he turns towards his door, as expected being met with his assistant who has a smile on her face. “I assure you, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“It’s okay, Admiral, your secret’s safe with me.” Shyla sends him a parting smile before walking back towards ops leaving him alone once again.

The jump is only a few months and Pregnant Kensi is the kinda team leader/manager along with Deeks. Rookies are out in the field with maybe some new transfers, whether that be people we already know or not. And then Sallen is obviously in Morocco I believe it was. Then Kensi goes into labor and then she has the baby.

⬆️ but then there’s another small jump after she gives birth where they’re all together again.
