Title: Season Ten Tidbits

Chapter 1: Best Plan

Summary: These are short scenes that I want to add to the season 10 episodes. A lot of them will be Densi.

Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS LA or the characters. I simply enjoy writing about them in this forum.

Best Plan

(Beginning of 10x01 To Live and Die in Mexico)

"Kensi! Deeks! Callen!" Eric keeps trying frantically to get through to them.

"Please let them answer us," Nell prays softly, then louder instructs, "Guys! Someone answer us!"

All they hear is static as one minute passes into two. They look at each other with absolute terror and sorrow as tears slide down both of their faces.

"What...what do we do?" Eric whispers trying to control his emotions as he reaches both of his hands out for Nell's.

"We keep trying," she insists grasping his hands as a sob escapes. "This is our team we're talking about. If...if they survived, they will fight."

"It was a rocket Nell!" Eric's face crumbles and his voice cracks as he loses the battle with his emotions.

"I know, but if there's any chance... We need to be here for them."

Suddenly they hear commotion over someone's com.

"Is General Vasquez telling his men to pull them out?" Nell looks to Eric for confirmation with a tiny bit of hope.

They both listen with full focus and concentration.

"That's Sam," she chokes with fresh tears when she hears him coughing.

"Callen," Eric breaths a sigh when he hears over a crackling com a weak, raspy Callen calling for Kens.

The last thing they hear before complete silence fills the room is Kensi screaming for Deeks.

"They're alive! At least some of them are alive!" Eric reassures Nell squeezing her hands.

"We have to get them out of there," she states.

"I'm sure Hetty's already on it, but this was off the books," Eric reminds her glumly realistic.

"Let's go tell Hetty what we heard and see what we can do," she suggests trying to stay positive.

(Inside the church in Mexico after the scene where Deeks wakes up)

As Kensi lays her head on Deeks' chest, and he tells her again how beautiful she looked pregnant, they are both well aware that one or both of them may die in this church in Mexico.

"I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry we're here and not making babies in Cabo," she apologizes for the predicament they're in as her fingers lightly caress his chest and her tears further dampen his shirt.

Even though he's scared and upset, the moment when she forgave him for hiding from her that he killed Boyle comes to mind and gives him peace and perspective.

"It's okay," he assures her finding the strength to lift his hand to her back. He wants to say more, but he doesn't want it to sound like a goodbye, so he simply says what they both need to believe. "We'll rest for a little longer and then we'll get the hell out of here. It's going to be okay." He pushes through the pain to lift his head to press a kiss to hers before closing his eyes again.

(At the hospital after the final Densi scene of the episode)

She lifts her head from his and looks into his eyes again as she proclaims, "I'm so happy," even though with tears still running down her cheeks, she looks the exact opposite. "You make me so happy, I don't know what I would have done if you..." She can't even say it, so she changes direction. "If we wouldn't have found help in time. Or, if you wanted to leave."

He reaches up and places a hand on her cheek. "I was never going to leave Kens and I never will," he promises. "No more tears," he requests gently as he wipes away said tears. "I'm here, you're here, we're going to figure the rest out."

"Thank you," she responds gratefully then presses another kiss to his lips. Staring to push off the bed she informs, "I'll go get you that Asprin."

"No, stay," he entices guiding her head back to the place on his chest where it hurts least. "I meant I need to be with you right now as well as for the rest of my life."

As she carefully wraps an arm across his middle to hug him, she teases sleepily, "You just wanted to propose didn't you?"

She gets the chuckle she was aiming for out of him as he boastfully responds, "it was a damn good proposal."

"Come on!" Nell says enthusiastically as she pulls Eric out of his chair.

"Where are we going?" he asks.

"We're dropping off this information for the Admiral and then we're going to see our friends."

"Best plan I've heard in a long time!"

Thanks for reading! Here we go on season 10. I loved, loved, loved the premier, like one of my favorite episodes ever kind of love! I was missing Eric and Nell a bit, but I'm not complaining about all the Densi. Everyone was amazing, but I felt like Daniela really shined in this ep. I hope you enjoyed these added scenes. Reviews are always welcome.
