Frank had an apartment all ready for Don.
"This is your place, you'll like it, and I'm right next door".
"Wow, nice digs, this is better then my New York home".
"Yeah"! "Horatio has this way, of making someone feel welcome". "We should head down, you'll need to be briefed".
After they arrived at the Lab, Horatio was in the middle of a heated call.
"Listen love, yelled Horatio. "I need you here now, so if you can;t get the sitter, then bring them".
Hanging up the phone, Horatio looked up and seen Frank and Don.
"Hello Don, how was your trip"?
"It was very nice, and thank you for the accomedations".
"Your welcome, now if you'll come with me I'll take you to be briefed".
When they got to "H"s office, and the case was explained to Don in full detail, Horatio introduced him to the rest of the team.

Meanwhile.....
Mac was having one hell of a time with the twins. They were just not listening at all.
"God, save me from terrible two's", yelled Mac, as he held Maddy in his arms.
"Me not hungry daddy", i no want cereal", cried Mackenzie.
"Listen love, if you don't want to eat, then go to your room".
Pounding down the hall, Mackenzie went into her mommies room, instead of her own.
"Mama, mama, you awake"?
"What is it sweetheart"?
"Daddy elled at me, and i no want cereal again".
Stella knew she only had a week left to stay in bed. So she figurged, what could it hurt to get up and help out. Putting on her housecoat, she took Mac by the hand and lead her to the kitchen. The first thing she noticed was the mess, and Oh Lord, what a mess it was.
"McCanna Taylor", yelled stella.
"That's my name mama".
"That is your father's name, yours is Mackenzie". "What is this mess"? "There has to be a weeks worth of dishes here".
"Why you name me after a boy"?
Looking at her daughter she said..... "We didn't love, it's a name for a boy or a girl". "We chose this name for you because you have amazing looks, and are so beautiful".
"Listen sweetheart, you should be back in bed", said Mac.
"I'm fine, and besides, I only have one more week". "Now how about I make us all some pancakes and sausage"?
"Yeah, mama", yelled the twins.
"God bless you love, and i'll start the dishwasher", smiled Mac.
Meanwhile.....(Miami)
Don had met Eric and Ryan just before an angry Calleigh showed up, with the kids.
"Listen Caine, don't ever order me like that again, and here", said Calleigh as she passed him Marisol and HJr. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Bullistics comparison to do".
After she stormed off, Don said....."I take it that fireball is your wife"? laughed Don.
With a smile on his face, "H" said.,,.,,"That she is Don, that she is".
"Dad, we want something to eat", yelled Marisol, "Yeah dad, bring it on, mommy said you'd take us out to eat", said HJr.
"Did she now"? "I have an idea, why don't you and your brother go with Eric and Ryan, while I show Don, the rest of the Lab".
"Mom said you would pawn us off", said Marisol.
**Sigh** "Listen, let me get this done, and I'll take you both to lunch, okay"?
"Fine". "Come on Uncle Eric and Ryan, let's go find something to do".
Eric couldn't help but laugh, Marisol looked so much like her dad, bright red hair and firery blue eyes, while HJr resembled his mom, blonde hair and sea green eyes. "Okay Marisol, let's go".
