CSI:NY - Danvale #2... Continuing the bloodlines

Two hours later....

When the Gender's arrived at home. They seen Brian sound asleep on his little pillow and blanket they left out for him.

"How was he Harvey?"

"He was great. We played with the playdoh in the kitchen, cause I didn't want to make a mess on your carpet. After that, we had some juice, watched some tv, and he fell asleep."

"I knew you two would get along great. Would it be okay to call you in a couple days?"

"Of course. Take care, night."

Once Harvey left, the Gender's watched the video. Seeing nothing suspicious, she turned to her husband and said...

"See honey. You were worried for nothing."

Looking at his wife, he decided to keep his thoughts to himself. For something about this night, still didn't sit right. Picking his son up in his arms, he carried him to his bed. Laying him on the sheets, he noticed small reddish burn, near his sons thigh. Almost like a friction burn.

Thinking he could have done it on the carpet, he covered his son up and left the room. Heading into his bed, something still bothered him.

" I think the next time we go out. I'd like to put one of the babysitting camcorders in the kitchen."

"What ever for? Don't tell me you still don't trust, Harvey. He's a very nice boy. Brian enjoys his company."

"I know he does. But there is just something strange about him. Something I can't put my finger on."

Heading into the shower, he took his thoughts with him.

Meanwhile...

When Harvey got home, he pulled out his scrapbook. Taking the polaroid picture from his bag, he added it to the other six pictures he had so far. Placing the book back on top of his closet, he locked the door.

Heading into the shower, he stripped his clothes and allowed the spray to excite him. Closing his eyes, he thought back to the events of the evening.

"Harvey... is that you? Are you home son?"

"Yeah mom, I'm home. How was work?"

"It was good, son. Are you hungry?"

"No... I'm just going to go too bed."

"Alright son, sleep well."

Hearing his mothers door shut, he continued where he left off.

Back at the Staton's, Tony was walking Julia across the floors. It seemed his little demanding Princess, wanted his full attention. For the last forty minutes, everytime he'd try to put her down, she'd cry. Whenever Tony went near his wife, she'd cry. Almost as if she knew what they were about to do.

"Come on little Angel. Give daddy a break. Don't you want to sleep?"

Bringing up her little legs, she curled herself deeper under her daddy's neck. Almost as if telling him, she would have his full attention, whether he like it or not.

"Dad... we can't sleep. Why does Julia have to be so loud all the time?"

"I'm not sure son. She's lonely I guess."

"Lonely or not, we have school tomorrow dad. How are we supose to concentrate in school, if we are to tired to learn?"

Now there was a loaded question, Tony wondered himself. He was so tired, and he also had a class to teach tomorrow. Giving in to his daughters demands, he took her into bed with him. Laying her between the two of them, Julia finally yawned and fell into sleep. Reaching over to take his wife's hand for a little bit of closeness, she woke screaming again.

Putting his hand back to his side, she stopped.

Claire was laughing. Her daughter was not only very smart, but very sneaky too. She was making sure, that her daddy's attention, belonged to her, and her only.

"It's not funny, baby. I want to touch you."

"Aww... sleep Tony. There is always tomorrow. I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

Closing their eyes, the three of them finally fell into sleep.
 
The following morning. Gary woke with a splitting headache and vomiting. Knowing he had caught his daughters flu, he grabbed his blanket, and crawled into her room. Laying in her spare bed, he inhaled the vapored vicks, that was surrounding the room.

Hearing her husband cough, she walked into her daughters room, and seen her husband.

"Oh no... not you too, Gary."

"Sorry love. God I'm so sick. I ache everywhere. I'm so cold."

"Daddy...I sleep with you?"

"Sure pumpkin, come here."

Crawling in with her daddy, she snuggled up to his fever body that matched hers.

"Alright. I'm going to leave you two alone. I'll be right back. I'm taking Gary over to your mom and dads, so he don't get it."

Leaving out the door, she hoped they would be alright, till she got back.

Meanwhile...

Don was sick too. He woke with chills and fever. Leaning over the bed, he felt the wave of nausea hit him full force. Reaching for the garbage pail by the bad, he threw up in it. Hearing her husband toss his cookies, Jess jumped from the bed, and grabbed some ice water, with the thermometer.

"Are you okay Don?"

"What do you think, Jess? God I'm so achy."

Taking his temperature, it read 103.0 degrees.

Running to the cabinet, she pulled out two Tylenols.

"Here honey, take these. Looks like you have the flu. I think Donna said Jessie was sick last night too. From what she told me, it sounds like it's going around."

Heading out of the room, she wondered where she was going to send Donald for the next few days. Picking up the phone, she called Stella.

"Hello."

"Hey Stella. How are you doing?"

Stella could hear the stress in Jess's voice. "Let me guess. Don is sick."

"How did you know?"

"Cause Gary and Jessie are sick. As is Danny. So I have Donna bringing over Gary Jr, and Judy is coming too, for Danny's afraid he'll hurt their baby she's carrying. So who did you need to bring over?"

Jess laughed. I need to bring Donald, if it's not too much for you and Mac."

"No... that's fine. I'll have Judy here to help. You just bring him over, he'll be fine. It will give Gary Jr, and Alan someone else to play with."

"Thanks so much, Stella. How are Claire and her family doing?"

"They're fine. So I've told them to stay away. Claire agreed. Though she's awful tired. It seems their little spoiled Princess, demands their attention 24/7."

"That's what happens when you spoil them from the womb, Jess laughed. I'll see you in a bit."

When Jess showed up with Donald, she realized how full the Taylor home was.

"Oh my... are you sure you can handle all this, Stella?"

"Mhm. Claire just called. The boys were sent home sick, so she's coming here with Julia, while Tony is staying with the boys."

"Okay then. I guess I should get back. I'll call you when my biggest baby, and daughter are feeling better."

"Those boys just better hope, they don't get a call. With half of them out sick. Who knows what the NYPD will do."

"I'm sure Adam can handle it. If it gets to bad, he'll call for back-up, whether they are sick or not."

Jess and Stella laughed, as Claire walked in with Julia.

"There she is. Hello, grandma's little Princess."

"Like I said Stella. Spoiled from the womb," laughed Jess, as she headed out the door.

"What's she taking about mom?"

"Nothing for you to worry about, how are Tony and the boys?"

"Tony's great. The boys are a mess. Are you sure this is a virus? Maybe we all contacted something, from the food the other night?"

"No... it's not that love. Jessie was sick first. She picked it up in school, brought it home to your brother, who spread it through the precinct. Leaving Don and Danny, to bring it home to their families. Which is how your boys picked it up. They attend the same school."

"Does this mean if they get a call out, you and Jess have to fill in?"

"It does. As does Adam, and Sheldon. They haven't caught it yet. Thank god."

Taking off Julia's coat, Claire passed her to her grandfather.

"Here you go daddy. Your little Princess."

Mac really wished they would stop calling her that. She was already demanding enough. Looking into his granddaughters eyes, he seen her little sinister grin, as her papa held her close.

"You know, don't you little Julia. You know you have your mommy and daddy, right where you want them, don't you?"

Closing her eyes again. Mac swore his granddaughter was still smiling. Laying her across his chest, she brought up her little legs, and snuggled into her papa. Knowing that if she tried hard enough, she could have him wrapped around her finger too.

Walking up to his dad, Alan said... "daddy, why's she so tiny. Is cause her seed didn't grow?"

Mac sighed. Here we go again. Forever, Alan had this endless need for knowledge.

"Well daddy? Is cause her seed didn't grow?"

"No son. Julia is small, because she was just born."

Getting up before his son could ask anymore questions, he placed Julia in their bedroom. Laying her in the cradle they had for Alan, she screamed.

"You have got to be kidding me." Picking her up, she stopped. "Listen little Julia, it's sleepy time for you, no more crying, now."

Laying her down again, she screamed. Out in the other room, Claire and her mom were laughing.

"Mommy... whys the baby scream?"

"She is screaming, because daddy put her down. She didn't want down."
Donald Jr came walking over. "Nana... she's loud. My ears hurt."

Not more then five minutes later, the crying stopped. Peeking in the room, Stella seen grandpa on the bed with Julia, who was snuggled right up beside him.

"Psst... Claire, come here love. Look at this."

Peeking in the room, she seen her father with Julia wrapped protectively in his arms.

"Looks like she has all the men in this family. Right where she wants them." she laughed.

"Maybe your aunt Jess was right. Spoiled from the womb."

Wrapping her arm around her daughter, they closed the door.
 
Thanks for the wonderful reviews:)

Meanwhile...

Tony was having second thoughts. The boys were driving him to endless fits of complaints. No matter what he did to get them comfortable, it just wasn't enough.

"Daaaaad... I can't breathe. I'm so hot dad, and thirsty."

"Me too dad, I need something to drink. The juice is warm."

How the hell could it be warm. He just poured it, with ice. Walking into the room, he took their temperatures again. Finding them both at 102.9, he gave them more Children's Motrin.

"Try and sleep, my boys. You'll feel better."

Over at Harvey's, he recieved an emergency call from Mrs.Genders.

"Hi Harvey? I need to know if it would be possible, for me to bring over my son. I have to take my husband to the Hospital, out of town. You may need to keep Brian for a few days."

Whoa... this was something Harvey didn't expect. A few days with his favorite playmate. Damn right he'd accept.

"Of course, Mrs.Genders. My mother will be here. She can help too. I'll see you soon."

Hanging up the phone, Harvey ran upstairs to change the sheets, and hook up the webcam. Then he called his two friends, to make sure they were hooked in. Once he had everything ready, he heard the knock.

"Come on in, Mrs.Geneders. Hi Brian."

"Hi Harvey, I gets to stay with you."

"I know. We are going to have a wonderful sleepover camp. With lots of movies, and chips."

"Yay... you hear that mommy. We's get movies."

"I heard son. You have fun with Harvey. Mommy will call you tonight, to say goodnight. Okay?"

Giving her son a kiss, she left. Watching from across the street, Tony wondered what the hell Mrs.Genders was doing at that kids place. He knew her from her husband. He worked at the University with him. Opening the door, he called her name.

"Oh, hey Tony. I didn't know you lived here."

"Yeah. I do. Where's your husband?"

"He's at home. We have to drive out of town today. He has that appointment with the specialist. So I just dropped Brian off with Harvey."

"Harvey... the young boy?"

"Mhm... he's sat for us before. He's very reliable, Brian likes him."

Tony didn't. Leaving him to feel more nervous then had earlier.

"Well... how about I keep an eye on them for you?"

"Sure. That would be great. As my husband seems to have a problem with him. He thinks there is something strange about him. Anyway, I have to go."

After she left, Tony couldn't agree more. besides that... her husband had great instincts. So damn right, he would walk over there later. Just to make sure, Brian was doing alright. Heading back into the house, he turned on his computer.

Trying to get a signal from his cable company, wasn't working. Using the landline instead, through dial up, he must have connected into someone elses computer.

Looking at the screen, he noticed a bed. A bed with the sheets pulled back.

"What the hell is this, shit?"

Not sure what he had hacked into, he watched. Seeing a shadow move towards the bed, Harvey came into vision. Trying to see what was going on, he couldn't. For whoevers webcam it was, had thrown something over it. Waiting to see if it came back in, he heard his boys calling.

"Damn it... not now. Running from the room, he headed into his boys room.

"What's the matter, Jimmy?"

"My sheets are soaked from my sweat dad. I need some clean ones."

Grabbing a set of clean sheets, Tony changed his sons bed, then helped him back in.

"How about you, James? How's your bed?"

"I'm fine dad, thanks. Sorry we are bothering you so much."

"You're not son. Just get better, okay."

Leaving the room again, he checked his computer. Finding the screen in darkness, he knew whatever he should have seen, he missed. Not wanting to lose the signal, he left it on, hoping that by chance, it would tune itself back in.
