total lie that was.
    Elizabeth nodded, knowing the woman wasn’t being honest. “So, what do you do for Christmas ?” She switched it up.
    Tori shrugged. “Nothing.”
    “Great. Dinner is at four on Christmas day. I’ll expect you a little before, because we have drinks and get tipsy beforehand.”
    Agent Christensen’s mouth dropped open. “I don’t really do Christmas.” How was she going to tell the woman in front of her no? This was her boss.
    Hell!
    “You’re doing it this year,” Elizabeth insisted. “Do it for me. I’m the only woman in a house of men. If you don’t come, I may get cranky and bitchy.”
    Tori laughed not wanting her partner to be in a bad mood. “Okay, I’ll come. What can I bring?”
    Elizabeth tossed the stir-fry and looked at her watch. Wyler just pulled in, and that meant dinner and little man kisses. “Nothing. I have a giant turkey.”
    The kitchen door opened, and Tori looked over. There was a man standing there holding the little Blackhawk in his arms. Immediately, Elizabeth went to his side and kissed him on his cheek. “Tori, this is Wyler.”
    It didn’t take long for Christensen to figure it out. The man looked just like Ethan Blackhawk, but older. Standing she offered her hand. “You must be Director Blackhawk’s father.”
    He laughed and took the offered hand. “That’s what they tell me. I guess I must be. We look alike.”
    “Dad, dinner is in five minutes. I’ll hold CJ while you get ready.”
    “Thank you, sweetheart,” he stated, running up the stairs.
    Elizabeth noticed her agent staring at the man. “It’s off settling isn't it? Ethan looks just like , him and yet Callen not so much.”
    “I’m sorry, but yeah it is.” Tori watched her boss holding her son, and she was kissing his cheeks and holding him pressed to her body like a mother would. This woman was definitely not the same as she was in the office. This entire world was completely different than their work personas.
    “Can you hold CJ? I need to keep stirring the food.”
    Tori stared openmouthed. “Uh, yeah I guess.” Taking the smiling boy from her, the woman tried to remain calm. She loved little kids, but dropping her boss’s pride and joy would be a bad thing.
    Immediately, CJ grabbed a handful of hair and played with it.
    Elizabeth laughed. “He gets it from me. I have a hair thing,” she said winking. “He likes you. When he doesn’t like the energy of the person, he screams bloody murder.”
    Tori sat on the stool, staring down at the little boy in her arms. He was really cute, and she felt her heart melting a little bit. He was very sweet, as he looked up at her and chewed on her hair. “What does CJ stand for?”
    “Callen James. He’s named after his uncle.”
    Tori laughed. “So your son is named after your boyfriend and husband’s brother, who you also have a relationship with too? I have to say Elizabeth; you have a very interesting life. Here I believed you just came home and killed things after beating them up.”
    Elizabeth snorted. “Don’t tell them at work that I lead a normal life, well minus the men issue.” Elizabeth began plating their dinner, and grinned up at the woman. “I’m also fairly easy to work with too, but people assume I’m tougher than I am.”
    Agent Christensen laughed. “I saw you take a gunshot to the center of your chest, fall into a swamp and then pop up ten seconds later to kill the guy. You’re pretty damn tough. I’ve seen men run screaming from gunfire and you taunted a woman to shoot you. You’re either crazy or tough.”
    “Most people say crazy. The men in my life would vote for insanity too.”
    When her phone beeped, she read the display and grinned. Her mind began to wander, and she couldn’t wait to tell both men that they were going to be having a baby. Chris had given her the timeline according to the HCG levels too.
    Elizabeth’s heart skipped in her chest at the idea of another child in their family. The
