On January 10, 2022, Meredith Jacobs explored the evolving journey of Special Agent Kensi Blye (Daniela Ruah) and Investigator Marty Deeks (Eric Christian Olsen) in NCIS: Los Angeles. Over the years, the couple has faced numerous discussions about parenthood, especially given the unique challenges posed by their demanding careers. Following the events of the episode “A Land of Wolves,” fans are left wondering if Kensi and Deeks are finally on the brink of making their dream of parenthood a reality.
Throughout the series, Kensi and Deeks have navigated their path to parenthood, with moments of hope and frustration. While Kensi’s chances of becoming pregnant seem slim, the couple has begun exploring adoption. This season, they have experienced some setbacks, such as missing an important meeting due to work commitments. However, by the end of “A Land of Wolves,” it appears they are making significant strides toward fostering a young girl named Rosa (Natalia Del Riego). Kensi’s protective instincts shine through as she helps Rosa while facing a threatening militia group.
During a poignant moment in hiding, Rosa asks Kensi if she is a mother. Kensi’s heartfelt response, “I want to be. Just haven’t been that lucky,” speaks volumes about her desires and the challenges she has faced. This exchange highlights the emotional weight of their journey, underscoring Kensi’s longing for a family.
As the episode progresses, Kensi introduces Deeks to Rosa, reinforcing their growing familial bond. Deeks reassures Rosa, saying, “You’re OK. We’re going to get you home,” illustrating his commitment to supporting Kensi and their potential new family member.
Later, at home, the couple discusses Rosa’s future. Deeks informs Kensi that Rosa will be processed at a federal facility and might need foster parents if her relatives cannot be located. Kensi insists, “Whatever happens, we can’t let her get sent back. She’s got nowhere to go, she’s got no one to take care of her.” Deeks promises, “We’re not gonna let that happen. We’ll stay on top of it. I promise you.” This determination suggests that they are willing to step in and provide care for Rosa, even if temporarily.
Given their long-standing discussions about starting a family—dating back to Season 7—it seems clear that the road to parenthood will not be simple for Kensi and Deeks. As they continue to balance their careers and personal lives, the prospect of fostering an older child like Rosa feels fitting. Fans have enjoyed witnessing the bond between Kensi and Rosa, as well as Deeks’ involvement, and many hope to see more of this dynamic develop in future episodes, even if just for a limited time. Ultimately, this chapter could be a meaningful step toward their journey as parents, filled with both challenges and heartwarming moments
