Chapter 1

Nell's POV

*8 months into pregnancy*

"Come on Nell we're going to be late," Eric called out to me.

"Yeah, hang on I'm nearly ready," I said back. I was 8 months into my pregnancy and it was time for my monthly check up I put on my socks and shoes as quickly as I could "you try putting on socks and shoes when you can't see your toes," I said to Eric getting in the car he chuckled and got in we drove off and within minutes we were at the hospital. We sat in the waiting room for about an hour when finally, my doctor called us in. "Ok by now I think you know the process, this is some gel it's going to be could, but you're probably used to it," smiled the nurse I looked at the monitor and saw my baby boy sitting in my stomach, the nurse pointed at the screen "there he is, riiiight there," she smiled I started crying again, I did this every month but I didn't care I had a little baby inside me and it belonged to me and the one I love. Eric grabbed my hand and rubbed the top of it with his thumb the nurse left us alone for a few minutes and gave us a picture "there's our little boy Eric," I said smiling. We left after I calmed down when we got home I had an epiphany "Eric,"

"What!" He yelled worried and confused

"I just thought of something," he breathed a sigh of relief

"And what would that be?" He asked kissing my neck

"We haven't done the baby room yet," I said. Eric smiled

"Well we best get onto that before the baby comes," he said smiling "and how are you planning on designing the room?" Eric asked

"Well.... since it's a boy, how about we have a baby blue walls with little clouds on them," I suggested Eric smiled we walked towards the empty spare room in our little four-bedroom house we looked in and I got the ultimate picture of our little boy's room" what are you thinking?" Eric asked, snapping me out of my train of thought

"Well... how about his cradle here a little blue rug over there, a changing table over here, a dresser over there were we can put his little clothes in and a rocking chair next to his box of toys that we brought," I said walking around the room and pointing like a lunatic. Eric smiled "that sounds good, I will have to ask Deeks, Sam and Callen to help paint it whilst we buy the furniture," I smiled we were all on a one-week holiday because we had all put in over time to work last week's case and as of Friday I was on maternity leave. "That's sounds good why don't you call them now and see if they will come over tomorrow and do it for us, they already painted Callen and Joelle's baby room I'm sure they won't mind painting our baby room," I said smiling. Joelle was 6 months along in her pregnancy but knowing them both they were super prepared 3months in, they had gotten their baby room sorted and they had already thought of names for their two little girls. So, Eric called Callen, Deeks and Sam and asked if they could paint our baby room "you're only just sorting out your baby room?" Callen asked

"I'd love to, I like helping out with geek love," Sam said making me and Eric laugh.

"Sure, thing Mc Beale," Deeks replied

In a few minutes Deeks, Sam and Callen would be here along with Kensi, Michelle and Joelle. Whilst the guys painted the baby room us wives would be shopping for baby clothes and furniture. Then we would all have a barbeque lunch, we left the house as soon as they got here we went straight to 'Babies-R-US' they had everything we bought everything we came for and a little more, whilst I was there I had them secretly engrave our boys full name into a gold and oval plate Kensi also did the same thing for their baby girl. Eric and I had decided on a name as soon as we figured out it was a boy that we were having, I paid for the plate and hid it in my bag. A few hours later we left and headed home stopping for smoothies on our way, when we got home the guys were outside drinking beer and the barbeque was heated and the meat was cooking the guys talked about guy stuff and we talked about our kids. Sam and Michelle's baby girl had just turned two, Joelle was 7 months along, I was 8 and Kensi was 5 months along. "So, girls what did you buy?" Deeks asked. We got up and went to the baby room it looked great and the sun shined in, giving the room a nice LA glow. The guys unpacked the boxes and put the furniture where we discussed, an hour later and the room was ready and looking great" I love it, thanks guys you've been such a big help," I said smiling trying not to get teary in front of them. We went back outside and ate a lovely lunch and talked for the rest of the afternoon.
