Hey guys, and welcome to my newest Fanfiction :D

Please remember english is not my first language, and I'm sure there are some mistakes in there :D

I hope you'll enjoy this Neric-Story! :))

I do NOT own NCIS LA or the characters!


The quiet noises from the room across the hall had woken her.

Nell turned around and wanted to get up, but the voice next to her held her back: "Stay in bed. I'll do this."

Nell sank back into the pillows. She had never been that tired.

For a little while she listened to the voice that came out of the other room, until she couldn't hold her eyes open anymore.

It's been a tough time and all Nell wanted was a few hours of sleep. It was hard falling asleep, but even harder staying asleep.

It didn't take long until the familiar noises woke Nell again.

She threw a quick look at the clock next to her bed and moaned. Only 50 minutes had passed.

"It's my turn now", she whispered into the darkness and got.

She tried to be fast enough but just as she closed the door to the bedroom behind her, the noises already turned into a loud scream.

"Shhhhhh, please!" Nell hurried through the room, trying to calm the tiny human in the baby bed down. She picked her crying daughter up and rocked the little girl in her arms.

She tried to breastfeed the baby and she also checked her diaper, but nothing could make her stop crying.

"Shhhhhh", Nell whispered, "it's okay Hannah. Just tell me what you need, okay? I will give it to you. I don't know what I'm doibg wrong! Please just stop crying."

"You're not doing anything wrong", said Eric, who entered the room without that Nell would have noticed it.

Now he took his daughter from his wife's arms and softly kissed her head. " She is just as stubborn as her mom, right Hannah?"

With a tired smile Nell sat down in the big armchair next to the baby bed, and watched Eric rocking their 3 weeks old girl.

For a second she remembered all the memories they had shared over the years.

The first time they met, their first case, their first kiss, their wedding... and once again Nell wondered how she was so lucky to deserve all of this.

She was married to the love of her life, she had the most beautiful daughter in the world, two amazing nieces - Lily and Sarah, Kensi and Deeks' kids - and a carring family who was always there to support her.

She also remember the day five years ago when Kensi and Deeks introduced them all to Lily, after Kensi got back from her highly classified mission.

That was the day Eric asked her out on ther first real date.

Then Sarah's birth two years ago, when Kensi called the team while they were about to arrest a suspect.

And finally her minds got to the day Hannah was born in the NCIS office, because the team had been to busy chasing a serial killer aka terrorist and nobody could drive her tot he hospital.

"Nell?"

Nell didn't even realize she was staring at him, until Eric was standing right in front of her.

"Huh?"

"Are you okay?", Eric asked.

"Yeah", she smiled and got up, "I'm fine."

She reached out her hand and carefully stroked Hannah's soft hair. "I was just thinking how happy I am to have you and our baby and our family...", she whispered.

Eric leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Nell."

"I love you, too."

And although she was tired and exhausted, Nell knew this was just the beginning of the best time of her life.

And it would last forever.


So, that's it :)

I'm not quiet sure if there's gonna be more, that's up to you. If you want me to write more chapters, I'll do it, but for now it's just a one shot.

I'd be happy about reviews! Let me know what you think and (if I'm gonna write more) want you want to see happening!

Oh, and if the name Lily for Densi's daughter sounds familiar, that's because I got it from CotedeKatic's story "The Unexpected Surprise". Don't worry, she was okay with that :D Just do me a favor and go read this story as well, thanks! :*
